I Went Insane Playing Alone in the Dark

Bro, I'm 4 years older than you. I'm gonna have an identity crisis 😂😭

You should try Resident Evil Deadly Silence! You'll be surprised with how interesting it is! But first maybe you'll have to do a bit of research to know what it is if u don't know already of course!

When you said "as a 19 year old" I had to stop and realize that there are people who make content who were born way after WASD was the standard for PC movement.

Oh shit ur only like a year older than me. Thats kinda sick. I found ur channel today and so far I rlly like ur content. I hope you continue to create, and I plan to join ur patreon when I have some cash

Nice video. You earned yourself a subscriber 😊

Would love to see you make a video about Clock Tower (1995) or even the entire Clock Tower series someday ;)

Bro your my age!?! I thought you were older than me!!! Insane! This video was a delight btw

Thank you for this video.

I do appreciate seeing younger adults taking a pretty fair look at some older games, especially as getting them to look & sound their best, even with GOG, can be a chore before you even begin. It sometimes takes dedication & enthusiasm just to get things running the way it authentically "used to" or at all.

Often, even though they're classics it can be hard to recommend them, especially blind. I get that the craft has come a long way but stuff like the amount of cruel soft locks can be fairly unforgivable even by 1990s standards. They relied too much on the saving grace of once you know what to do the games are only like an hour long.

I also noticed, it really was the wild west with UI elements & controls. Seeing your problems with both really made me consider how much the culture just kind of wordlessly coalesced around some design & control elements that I'd grown to take for granted & how when they're missing it feels off.

If you ever consider the sequels, to get a feel for the tone, I'm reminded of artwork made for a 2009 Let's Play, where the first game is portrayed by a stressed out Emily Hartwood creeping through a poorly lit mansion corridor with a unsteady but bloody saber while monstrous hands creep out of the dark from around the corner-
But where the second game is portrayed by a drunk out of his mind, crazed & manic Edward Carnby screaming while downing a liquor bottle wearing a fur lined Santa Claus outfit while jump kicking a pirate ship's chief cook in the jaw.

You should try the new nightmare that's was a good alone in the dark game.

This game was hard to play even when it was first released. They were trying something new, which was groundbreaking at the time and it took until RE1 for someone to get it right.
This was an amazing achievement for the time, considering they had nothing else to go on. Unfortunately, that means the controls and gameplay were very unforgiving, tough and tedious.

This is the most garbage zoomer review on this platform, congrats.

The funny space pump

Y’know what would be amazing? Once tactile VR gear to do stuff with your sense of touch becomes more of a thing, Imagine a VR game with sequences where you’re walking around in the pitch black near-silence and can feel something grasping at you and brushing past you the longer you just stand around. VR horror with a sense of touch has so much potential!

Honestly, horror that messes with head in some way is something that needs to be more of a thing

Meanwhile, this game just messes with your emotions with clunk and absurd amounts of deaths

Love the comments here. 9 year old me played this when it came out in 1992. Goddamn it was terrifying.

Ben…if you thought this game was bad, wait until you see the rest of the games in the series…

WAIT, YOU'RE 19?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN THAT! (still near what I thought tho. I thought you were like 20-23)

I played this game as a 14-y-o pretty soon after it came out. Power of nostalgia is strong indeed 💜

Are you going to review the remake when it comes out?

All of that for a piano you couldn't even get 😭

It is always wild to me when I find out content creators I'm watching that sound older than me are in fact younger than me, I'm 23...., awesome video lol

this might be the first 3D survival horror but it is not the first survival horror, that honor goes to
SWEET HOME for the Famicom.
When the creator of resident evil made the game, he actually started off making a 3d remake of Sweet Home, if you look at the door opening animation you can totally see it.

Sweet Home review when?

I remenber playing Ms dos games without limiting the FPS that way the game is more enjoyable as the actions and movement are not show as death.

I feel this is a great show for why games came with Manuel before company decided that stop ;-;

An object show is a type of animated competition that has gained popularity in recent years, with BFDI (Battle For Dream Island) being one of the most well-known examples. These shows feature inanimate objects or anthropomorphic objects, such as talking animals or robots, as contestants. The objects are often given unique personalities and are voiced by actors, making the show entertaining and engaging for viewers. Throughout the show, the objects compete in challenges or games to win prizes or avoid elimination, with each challenge highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the objects. Object shows are known for their creative concept and humorous execution, making them a favorite among fans of animated shows and internet culture.

Your reaction to the Vagabond in the library is great.

Oh yeah, this reminds me of the first DMC game. Cool concept, nice to see where a genre really starts, but the execution is really not that great.
Nice video!

I still have nightmares after playing it back in the 90s

Did you play this on DOSBox?

I'm actually a huge fan of most of the flaws in this game. There's something really charming and kinda fun about how clunky some of the mechanics are in my opinion

A classic survival horror game with tank controls miss those days 😏😏

This is the vid I had to go to to figure out some of this stuff. All that stuff about sacrificial daggers and picking the right one to send the black goat god back to his own dimension after reading the cthulhu passage? Pah, quit fiddling with backtracking for books and daggers. Throw your lantern at the tree. wtf?

Subnautica is survival horror?

realises I’ve only ever played creative mode

Yeah, subnautica is survival horror.

I like that you use the best song to grind in Tartarus. Persona is such a good song.

Imma thinking if they implemented a more refined control system, checkpoints, and puzzle assistance, this would make a great Remastered version, graphic style doesn't need to change but I'd be keen to play a refined version of this for Nostolgia purposes, would make a nice collection along side the new Alone in the Dark game

As an 18-year old (as of leaving this comment) I do understand that Alone in the Dark is rather clunky nowadays, but it's still one of my all-time favourite games and my first playthrough was truly something special
If it wasn't for this game, I don't think I would have ever given the horror genre a chance

I've been binging your videos and I was surprised when you said you were only 19! I thought you were older (in a good way) so it caught me off guard 😅
Congrats on making your way through this game! I grew up with the N64 so I'm kind of used to old games but I'd probably become frustrated and quit.

Glad you finally discovered the magic of DOS gaming.

5mb ... That's quite a handful

I wonder if the remake will be different or have similar layout or puzzles to the original

Tip: You can actually press ` with up arrow key to trigger run easier

Played the first 3, jack in the dark and the gbc version of a new nightmare last year. Loved them all. Still need to play the rest. So psyched for the remake.

This might've been a fever dream, but I remember a game that looked exactly like this, but the whole time you were trying to eat a watermelon and at the end you had to fight a watermelon god??? It was really short too, I remember watching dantdm playing it too

i hate running in this game

The hotel dusk music at the beginning of the video was so well suited

the wii "sequel" is just as frustrating, dont play it. or do suffer for views.

Them melons

"Okay so I have only been playing for and hour and a half"

It was at this moment he knew, He fucked up
