Actually A Pretty Good Horror Game 

Protagonist sounds like he's being edged throughout the entire game

I want to see him play horror games with a heart rate monitor

Charlie's sudden burp is scarier than actual game he jumpscared me damn it

My interpretation of the story is: the blue knees demon in that children's story book was looking to cross into the world by possession. Madison was it's first target but before she could complete the ritual she was shot and killed by cops, however since she had already killed 4 people the demon probably already had a good hold of her and half taken over her soul. The camera was the conduit for the demon to cross barriers into the world and the ritual involved sacrifices and taking pictures of the dead bodies. The story book and camera eventually came into Elizabeth's possession, Luca's grand mother. The demon attempted to possess Eli but she must've committed suicide before it could. Eventually the camera was passed down to Luca, who cut off mother leg and sister's arm killing them both. The demon then controlled him to finish the ritual with Luca being the final sacrifice needed. With Luca dead his body would be fresh for the taking. The ending when we see him gasping and resuscitated, that would be the demon inside of Luca's body in full control of it. The old naked and bloody women we see in the hallucinations isn't the grand mother but was Madison, the way she looked when the demon was already half done possessing before she was killed.

I woke up today just feeling kinda off.. Now Charlie comes out with a "good" horror game. The world really must be ending.

this is the only time I've ever heard a protagonist of a horror game sound scared

woman on recording: “i killed my husband” charlie: “cheers i’ll drink to that bro”

How I interpret this. Blue Knees was a Demon summoned into this world sometime in WWII. It initially possessed Hans during His Gas Chamber Executions. After WWII ended, Hans fled Germany to avoid Persecution and married (Woman in Church Booth). The Woman killed Hans after hearing of his crimes and seeing the way he treats her. Blue Knees then possesses Madison (who is probably The Woman in The Booth). Madison under control of Blue Knees committed The 7 (maybe 4, I'm not sure...) Murders. She was about to complete The Ritual before being shot by Officer Russel. Blue Knees then lived on in The Polaroid Camera of Madison and The Children's Book she wrote "Blue Knees". Johnny's Grandfather and Grandmother then bought Madison's House in The 80s to live there. They brought home The Blue Knees book through unknown (for me, at least) means which makes The Demon able to possess Elizabeth. But before The Demon could complete a full transformation of Elizabeth. She committed suicide before it had the chance. Albert then became obsessed in contacting Elizabeth again that he refused to leave the house and used different kinds of rituals to contact her. Some time passes, and Johnny grew up, married, and had kids. One of them is Luca. The Polaroid is passed down to Luca by His Grandfather, that's when Blue Knees started possessing Luca. He killed His Mother and Sister before waking up and running away from his dad. Which led him to The Old House belonging to His Grandfather. Here is where The Game starts. You are tasked to complete the ritual through The Polaroid Camera's help. Blue Knees slowly deteriorates Luca both in body and mind until he becomes The Final Sacrifice, replacing His Father's Place and being fully possessed by Blue Knees shortly after. Bringing The Demon in a Physical, Real World Form.

Charlie makes Horror games meant for teens into a fun game for children

Luca sounds like he wants to be on his own- he’s got a whole world to see ✨💅🕺

Was watching this and falling half-asleep to the sound of it, then Charlie did his little 'Jumpscare prediction' thing at 35:49, needless to say the quick shot of adrenaline definitely helped me stop zonking out. Thanks for that, bud.

Love to see Charlie find an actual decent horror game, made me smile when he jumped at 9:23. Goes to show you can make a decent horror game if you know how to pace storyline and jump scares really well. For me F.E.A.R is a prime example for me but its outdated now but still holds up well if you've never played it before. Hope we get something similar to it in this century.

Charlie cant get scared in a horror game because he is much less easily immersed than we are

Seeing him playing a horror game calmly makes me feel fearless.

"Moistcritikal said that the game is pretty good" is probably the best achievement a horror game can get

Finished this game about 2 days ago, VEEEERY good horror game, one of the problems I always had with horror games (especially those which contained puzzles in them) was getting lost around the map not knowing what to do at times, BUT I noticed something strange in MADiSON, no matter what I did and how I did it, the game would almost lead me to the answers, that just goes to show you how much thought the development team has put into the game and its progression...

05:25 absolutely breathtaking gameplay here. charlie actually becomes a demon just to immerse himself into the game. what a true gamer

I thought that burp at 5:25 was the demon and legitimately got jump scared. Well played Charles.

35:46 you actually scared me more because of the anticipation then getting something completely unexpected

Doing some research and going over collectables it seems like a relatively cut and dry ending. Luca is dead, Madison is in possession, the priest was too late, and the whole family is dead. That's at least what I was able to find

35:50 None of the jumpscares have actually scared me more than Charlie yelping

10:06 i genuinely don't understand how he didn't get jumpscared. Unfazed, stonefaced. My heart jumped out of my chest for half a second at that moment

This horror game managed to hit every single cliché it could. What is this, Hollywood?

10:06 *huge jumpscare* Charlie: "is that Madison?"🤔

Never though I will see Charlie say “A good horror game”

bro im not convinced this man is unfazed by horror games, like we need a heart rate monitor, there must be at least some physiological response he has to this

5:26 his burp yawn breathing technique got me more scared than the whole video

im loving that blurred out monitor/desk in the foreground, more of this please

Always love when Charlie finds a genuinely good horror game and is like "This game is actually really good and really scary!" Then he just doesn't react to anything. Even in his old school videos it was the same way.

1:00 I saw that and I instinctively braced myself for "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON"

Charlie. Early on in the game, in the room that had the wall with all of the scribblings for the well, there are notes on the wall detailing Madison Hale's story. She was murdering people to perform a ritual and transfer her soul into another body. According to the book that was sitting in the chair, the body exchange ritual Madison was trying to complete needed 7 sacrifices, a sentimental item, a guest and a host, and human ashes. I feel like Blue Knees was just a red herring. The someone that was watching Elizabeth and her family, as Grandma describes in her diary, was Madison all along. We know this because we do see the two entities, Madison and Blue Knees, separately as we play through the game, and the family is living in the house of Madison Hale who at this point we believe is still there trying to finish her ritual. I believe Madison was trying to use Grandma to finish the ritual initially but she turned out to be too weak to finish the job and was losing her eyesight as a result of Madison trying to exert control over her. I think this is backed up by the priest's audio logs and the diary entries in grandma's diary. "The Dark Entity manipulates its host with visual hallucinations and voices in the mind. Destroying the sanity of the host is for the purpose of making them malleable... compliant." In the end, Grandma dying and being cremated ends up playing in Madison's favor because she needed the ashes anyhow. Madison had tallied up 4 victims before she was shot, killed, and able to complete her ritual. Luca wasn't chosen for any particular reason, he was just gifted Madison's camera. So, she ends up influencing and using Luca to finish the job. Luca killed his sister, his mother, and was supposed to kill his Dad, but since Dad was nowhere to be found, he had to sacrifice himself as the 7th murderer for Madison to complete her ritual. The ending with the picture signifies that she did end up possessing his body after he died since the picture burned and he reawakened.

I see PT still has influence on horror games even 8 years later

Charlie would of been much more scared if there was a wasp involved , this is mere childs play for the king of horror

charlie’s burp and jumpscare prediction genuinely startled me more than the actual game…thanks bud.

Can't make this shit up 35:40 every fucking time there has been a jump scare throughout the video I didn't even flinch but then Charlie scared me shitless

I laughed way too loud at "it's a little loud- it's called BEING SCARY, get over it nerd" 8:35

"there is no god here. only grandma" -charlie, 2022

I love watching Charlie playing horror games, it’s hilarious having a monotone guy playing a supposed to be scary game with the straightest face possible.

My man Luca do feeling those recoils on camera

9:24 this is one of the rare cases Charlie actually gets startled, this really IS a good horror game

i love he just sits in a chair, reviews something, then either loves it and makes tons of sarcastic jokes, or insults something. the thing is he's so good at it. charlie is pretty much the only streamer i watch.

"the only thing that can beat demons is law enforcement" RIPD OPEN UP!!

27:15 I swear I thought that was an eye and I felt so smart for thinking that

That burp at 5:29 actually spooked me more than the game

14:56 I love that reference you made there 🤣

Charlie, can you please investigate a haunted place? You are the one person I trust to not fake it the entire time

I work at GAME in the U.K. and we’ve been advertising this game like crazy on our Twitter and everytime we do the developers get back to us and write nice messages! Really down to earth people

“Actually a good horror game.” - Charlie No need to put 10/10 IGN or any other rating, once Charlie gives your horror game praise, you’ve become the Edgar Allen Poe of indie horror without dispute.

" Trust takes years to build, seconds to breaks and forever to repair" That's an amazing quote right there 🥰.

Imagine with this success they could make MADiiSON (part 2) and you play as John, your father, to answer all these questions that we have!

“The host tends to withdraw from friends and family.” yeah, like I don’t do that already.

Silence would have been a stronger alternative to the lame protagonist voice acting, I played this and it drew me out pretty much every time he delivered a line

That voice actor understood the assignment a little too well

35:49 If you listen closely and turn up the volume, you can hear Charlie’s kitten meow in the background 🥹

That scream at 35:50 ... I should have seen it coming. Genuinely got my heart rate going.

13:51 you can see him jump a super small bit which is probably one of the top 10 most rare things to see

The day that Charlie actually enjoyed a horror game will go down as one of the most surprising events in history.

Idk why I felt it funny when Charlie play an horror games with his emotionless and monotone voice. No one can jump scare him except “cockroach” and “insect”

love how his burp at 5:22 was the only jumpscare that got me

The scariest part for me was when he was looking for the next jump scare and came around the corner, made a sudden jerking motion, and screamed.

youtube really needs to do something about the replies in the comments section (bots), it's depressing to see how youtube bans channels for no perticular reason while channels like these are still not banned...using someones death to gain attention + really bizzare content on their channels

Wow Charlie, seeing you scream at the sight of cockroaches, I’m surprised you can even get through a second of this.

I love how chill he is while playing a scary game

3:27 i love how he was in such a state of shock that he just had to take a picture

i like that charlie doesnt get scared, he makes me feel less scared when watching

9:24 first time Charlie showed any kind of reaction to a jumpscare

I've never seen Charlie enjoy a horror game before. It honestly brought a smile to my face

5:38 couldn´t oversee that "among us"

Main character’s voice is so zesty wtf

I want Charlie’s level of composure when playing horror games

the best scare i got outta this video is moist saying "boo" really loudly

9:23 I think that jumpscare got Charlie

Nice to see charlie getting moderately invested and enjoying a horror game for once :)

him yelling near 36:00 scared me more then the gameplay

10:06 a motorcycle started up outside my window and time up with the jumpscare perfectly. I was so pissed afterward lol

"Your badge has no authority in THESE swamps" yeah I'm gonna start using that one

50 min horror game from Charles? What a treat🌻

Charlie not being sarcástic in a horror game after 10 min is an achievement

You know it’d good when he doesn’t need to turn the light off to like it.

This is like when two Boxers who detest eachother hug it out at the end of the fight.

Charlie really makes this game so much less scary than it would be if someone else played it

5:26 I can’t believe charlie said the famous phrase it’s burpin’ time and burped. Truly a moment for society

im fascinated at how hes not scared of anything,i have never seen a man hold such a pokerface during horror games,truly inspiring

Not sure if you've ever played, but I'll recommend Song of Horror. It's an amazing game that doesn't rely on cheap jump scares and sets an amazing atmosphere

Just make a game where it's all cockroaches, that'll scare Charlie.

"It's a pretty good game!" Also moist: *makes fun of game and calls it a walking sim*

@11:07 at first glance I thought that was DADbot, which would have been a great reference

I love it when Charlie turns horror games into fun

I always wonder how he is so tolerant too horror, then i realise he is from Florida an probably naturally live in a constant fight or flight mode. "Hammer now we can beat dad with it" - Ow.

5:25 this is the scariest part of the video.

The burp at 5:24 scared me so bad while I was looking away lmfao

I swear if Charlie was in a horror scenario like this irl he would probably scare the demon

Games where you rotate items to find clues are usually very nice

Ah, so it's another one of those horror games that makes you scream, "Goddammit, stop that!" every time there is a jumpscare.

We had a dog that made a noise like that [Charlie at 39:55] Had to put him down.

5:26 bro I got jumpscared by that burp I thought that was part of the game

12:06 club penguin dance

Horror games need to realize that audio cues make scares less effective. In your face stuff isn't effective. Also, if there's no actual threat, you don't feel any reason to worry. That's why walking sims aren't scary. Sometimes you can make it work by pretending there is a threat, but it's really hard to do.

Charlie is so sarcastic that he doesn't even get scared for anything ii love it 😂😂

Charlie enjoying a horror game? and smiling as well as showing human emotion?! truly amazing
