Hey man, love your content. Some of the best content on Youtube. Quick question though, how much content do you have on this Nebula thing, and do you ever plan on moving it over to Youtube in the future?
The Bunker gives strong Kingsfield 1 jpn vibes
@RhizometricReality I understand this.
oh man this might be the thing to push me over 👀
what makes a great horror game scarier than a movie is giving you just enough agency to have responsibility but not enough to make that responsibility easy
very well said
This video came out 15 minutes ago (as of this comment), how did you comment 20 hours ago???
Great way of summarizing it. Its very true. Also, the 1st person perspective often seen in horror games (or games as a medium in general) i think is also a big aspect of why it seems scarier, it feels like youre the one in the situation, not just watching others go through it. (which also links to the same agency point)
@mint_marigold probably early release for patrons
Lmao wtf
So confused
This is absolutely wild. I’m so glad you like the giant heads. Thanks for covering The Utility Room 🗿
Congratulations!
ty for your support back when it was broken af@FastLawyer ❤
Absolutely awesome game man, really great work. Theres very few things ive ever seen get close to creating such a rigid, harsh and almost eternal atmosphere like this did.

Who’s Lila is SO underrated, thank you for covering it! I hope more people discover this gem of a horror game.
The name alone makes me think “How’s Annie?”, which is even more appropriate considering the subject-matter of the game.
“Your friends will meet him when you are gone.”
It’s been getting lots of attention this past year!
Yes!! I’ve been in love with it since the demo and it’s great to see it getting more attention! If you want another good look at it I recommend Flaw Peacock’s analysis
@GmodPlusWoWWell i don’t want to spoil the game but “Who is lilia?” Has a another reason other then just a question for lilia i think it is genuis.
I JUST finished a 7+ hour analysis of this video done by Flaw Peacock!
Whoever made “who’s lila” is a fucking genius. Such an amazingly executed concept
The bunker giving you that little taste of fresh air, and then immediately reminding you that it’s somehow MORE dangerous outside the bunker because it’s literally no man’s land, is absolutely amazing. Anytime im playing a horror game and see a window out of the manor, or something similar, im always like “why cant i just dip” but this game answering that with “beacause WWI” is so perfect i love it
Reminds me of his essay “Fear of Cold” where he talks about how in The Thing the true danger was the cold outside
@kef”the Thing might kill them. The cold will”
Such a good video
> Finds a way out of spooky bunker
> its in no man’s land
> wonder if monster dude is looking for a roommate
@; Expected the monster’s probably only in there because its so dangerous outside 😂 bro’s just looking for shelter
@Jordan “I’m an eldritch monster blblblbl…” IN COMES THE MG08 WITH THE SMACKDOWN
As someone who enjoys horror games but has a hard time playing them, it’s nice to see more of how they work!!!!
Saaame
You waving at the giant moai head right before it got decimated was an excellent comedic bit
Holy shit where was “Who’s Lila?” hiding all this time? That’s my kind of horror.
its fantastic!!! if youre interested in more about it, flaw peacock has a 7 hour video diving into the game
@Vizzyyup yup yup. i second this. Fantastic video.
@Vizzyoh my lord what do you mean 7 hours
that man is deranged
@Nick Nirus 😂 you cant fault the dedication. he said hes working on even longer videos too
As someone who still hasn’t beaten the bunker because they’re a perfectionist with severe choice anxiety, I understand this video on a primal level
