Broken Through 

mark having to explain he’s not a masochist on a monthly basis has become one of my favorite video topics

Mark: WHAT KIND OF PSYCHOPATH KEEPS THEIR WINDOWS OPEN AT NIGHT!? Also Mark: *goes for a run at night to terrifying sounds bc its more fun that way*

mark: talks about how weirdly he goes on runs also mark: tells us how weird a person is if they don't close the blinds

Gotta love how Mark talks about how he never got the urge to jump at the edge of a bridge and in the same video gives in to the desire to look behind him while being chased through vents!

Mark casually explaining to us how he actively tries to reduce his lifespan by stressing his body so much with nightly terrifying zombie runs lmao

Mark: I’m not a masochist. Also Mark: Turns an activity as benign as running into a life or death situation.

I love the theme of Mark doing something that sounds reeeaaally masochistic and then immediately following that up with 'but I'm not a masochist.'. Y'know it's weird if you have to explain that so many times!

31:40 probably the best scream ive ever heard from Mark 💀😭

Mark getting triggered by cans of green beans and corn is forever iconic.

Mark: what kind of psychopath leaves their windows open at night?? Also Mark: *goes fear sprinting in pitch blackness*

"As long as I don't pick too many wrong answers I think I'll be okay... Unless every path leads to divorce?" - Markiplier

31:41 that has to be one of the most genuine, horrified screams I’ve ever heard Mark make 😂

Finally. Someone who understands my incredibly irrational fear of blinds raised at night

Mark listening to horror ambiance while he runs at night is such a mark thing to do

For some reason, using the word "entities" to describe monsters is scarier than just calling them "creatures"

The use of nostalgic music in this to represent the trapped people feeling so lost and seperated from the time they used to know was really something. Also the ending credits song is a tune by the name of "It's been a Long Long Time."

sometimes it seems like we get more Markiplier jumpscares than actual ones.

Mark: *goes into detail on masochistic behavior* Also mark: I'M NOT A MASSOCHIST

i love it when horror games have happy endings, too many end with everyone dead so its a nice change of pace.

31:35 "how could i be afraid its just my mind playing tricks on me" i love that

Trying to save each soul by visiting and comforting them was so wholesome, I forgot mark was even playing a horror game.

"the way i run is probably different than how most people run." the setup for one of the most on-point markiplier things ive ever heard

6:00 I love how genuinely mesmerized he was watching the ad

mark: i don’t ever have intrusive thoughts also mark as there is a monster chasing him: I WANNA LOOK SO BAD

Good to know mark’s unbridled rage at the very existence of Del Monte products is still alive as ever.

I love the fact that mark has to tell us that he's not a masochist every time he talks about his life.

14:25 is one of my favorite moments in all of Mark’s videos

Mark definitely would be the one in the horror movie that died trying to fight the monster after charging at it…or just the first to die.

Thanks to this, I’m going to secretly develop a really really creepy game and leave a copy of it to someone in my will.

The fact that Mark tried to keep the camera as still as posible in 7:31 so Lixian's job was easier and he didn't have to track the radio, is pretty samn sweet ngl

31:40 was the most genuine fear I have ever seen mark in a while.

Did anyone else get the Warfstache reference at 44:36? Wilford Motherloving Warfstache was my favorite single video Mark ever made, and it really made me laugh!

31:40 This is like the first genuine scream I’ve heard from Mark playing a horror game in so long

Everything mark says that he's "not a masochist" I get less and less convinced that he's telling the truth

I love when Mark is saving the souls and he’s like “I’m like a hero!” And all I could think is that he is a hero. He helps us on our bad days and helps us get out of our depression(etc.)

I always love games based on dreams or nightmares, I feel it really captivates what our minds as humans can create.

31:40 was fucking hilarious, just the immediate shift from false confidence to pure terror *chef's kiss*

Mark bumping into Del Monte Green Beans and Green Giant Canned Corn in a Creepy Convenience Store is like bumping into TWO of your ex-es during a grocery trip while they're wearing eachother's clothes [4:11]

“What kind of demon keeps their blinds open at night?!?” I deeply feel that comment!😂 I also cannot stand for any non-clear shower curtain to be even halfway closed! But if already closed at night I had severe anxiety & fear of opening it myself. To the point I would complain if my family left them closed. My family used to laugh at me about it saying I had watched too many scary movies. I had decided to stop being so paranoid & work through my fear. I went to the bathroom late one night(like 11pm). The shower curtain was closed & normally I would’ve snatched them open before sitting on the toilet(I’m female fyi). So I forced myself to go ahead & use the toilet. But once done I couldn’t resist anymore, started to move the shower curtain looking down towards the inside of the tub…and *saw dirty feet!!* 😳😳 I screamed while bolting out of the bathroom not even taking a split second to see more than the feet! My husband came running & barged into the bathroom to confront the intruder. Turned out it was my oldest nephew…16-17 at the time…who unknowingly to us had begun severely sleepwalking & had sleepwalked into our house! We share a yard with them & him as well as my other nieces & nephews had slept over at our house many times. One of us had forgotten to lock our front door after letting our dogs out. Needless to say me screaming like someone was attacking me in our small bathroom both jolted my nephew awake & terrified him. My husband was demanding WTH he was doing in our bathroom which scared my nephew even more. Then my husband realized something wasn’t right, took a deep breath & began trying to talk to him calmer but had to leave talking to him to my mom(who lives with us)so he could check on me bc I have a heart condition. I came extremely close to needing to go to the ER as when I put on my heart monitor it was alarming for severe tachycardia & arrhythmia. But I managed to go try & talk to my nephew telling him it was ok but to please tell us why he was there. I finally got enough out of him to grasp he had been sleepwalking. Which was confirmed when my brother came over to collect him after my mom called him. They had begun having to put an extra lock on both doors leading outside but had forgot that night. After that night they also added a sensor that made a loud noise if the door was open without it being disabled. Thankfully he only sleepwalked so severely(aka leaving the house)for a couple years. -Needless to say neither my husband or mom has EVER laughed at me for demanding the shower curtain *stays open!* 😅😅

For those who don't know, the jazz song at the end of the game is called "It's Been a Long, Long Time". I think it's pretty suitable considering how those people were saved after so long!

The dementia part really hit home, as someone who’s watching from afar as a loved one heads down that path. Music is one of their escapes. While it was short, it paints such a picture, and honestly brought me to tears. Major props to the creator for giving us a glimpse into what they feel.

13:58 I do! when it rains, that is. I love seeing the rain and hearing the thunder. I'll even leave the window cracked, so I can hear it better. Is just relaxing. ^^

4:16 the thought of Darkiplier coming out just to obsess over green beans and canned corn is just so genuinely amazing in so many ways.

that scream at 31:41 was the most genuine, “i shat myself” scream ive ever heard out of Mark in the many years ive been watching him

The concept of a horror story with a happy ending is something i didn't know i needed. This is probably my favorite horror game now, thanks for sharing Mark.

That ending, where you save everyone's soul, including Tom Thomas himself, from the corrupted entity, was wonderful. I enjoyed playing Broken Through. The horror experience is well done. Each of the levels is both frightening and enjoyable. The atmosphere is spooky. The environment is unsettling. The entire story of this horror game is very good and astounding. Jordan Lindgren did phenomenal work in developing and making Broken Through. Much appreciation to the people who've helped make the game. I really like retro-style horror games! Broken Through is a great horror game. Broken Through is an awesome and terrifying horror game.

7:32 Mark and his editors work perfectly together to make little scenes like this

I can confirm Mark's running habits, he ran by my tree a few nights ago while ranting about how he's not a masochist to the coyote that was chasing him

The sheer terror in marks scream at 31:41 is just incredible

That laptop has been sitting next to that lake for 7 years. Wild.

Mark: "I never have intrusive thoughts" Also Mark: *Feels the need to clarify that he's not a masochist very frequently*

"What kind of psychopath leaves their window open at night?" Hard cut to Mark running through the woods to the sounds of zombies with coyotes chasing him

31:41 god it’s been a while since ive heard mark scream like that during a horror game!! congrats devs, you did it!!!

This is now one of my favorite videos. Not even just from the game, which is greatly made with amazing atmosphere and music, but Mark in his element. Lots of lore bits, the amazing editing from the team, the Distractible promo and the spooks. Great stuff all around. (And I watched Heist just before this and said hello to Yancy, you think I don’t visit him every third sunday?? Always marked on my calendar!!)

glad to know other people like mark scare the shit out of themselves to get exercise

it feels so nice to be not effected by jumpscares in the beginning because of the shear quantity of these I have watched

I love how completionist Mark was with the light switches.

I think this is the first video of Marks genuine scream of terror when he looks behind him and sees that something is in fact chasing him 😂🤣😂

Love how Mark said that he could control his intrusive thoughts yet still let his intrusive thoughts wins when being chased by the monster in the vents

I love how mark legit runs at night with terrifying music playing whilst knowing dangerous wild life lives near by yet, he gets mad when people leave they're blinds and doors open at night cause monsters can enter/look at you. Lol

The fact Markiplier runs to horror Music is awesome and hilarious at the same time

25:58 I closed my eyes in real life bro

I feel like this game is semi based off depression and now hard it is to break out.

loving mark's urge to look behind him being a recurring cause of death across multiple video games

Mark went through his whole history of life when making those faces during his radio commercial run.

The villain escaping a game and the game's UI also leaving the game to help the protagonist would be an amazing whole premise for a triple A game on its own

32:00 I just want people to know that the voice Mark is doing is basically like several minutes of him making fun of his own Ohio midwestern accent XD The way he says "get some food" oh man. That's midwestern.

Honestly Mark running to scary music or Zombie chase scenarios is GENIUS because its very motivational and according to The Game Theorists, anything to get your blood pumping and adrenaline rushing like horror is actually cardio

Mark having a Greenbean and Corn Relapse is the funniest thing

I love the idea that Carlos Bull-apparently a very elderly man with dementia who listens to 20s-era string music-was not only a gamer, but such a hardcore gamer that he picked up this random indie game, made by one person, that sucked him into the game world. The indie game market in the early 90s wasn't exactly thriving, but Link to the Past and Super Metroid weren't nearly enough for him. Ol' Peepaw here was apparently scouring obscure newsgroup forums for the hot new indie projects. I'm sure the first thing he did when he got home with the game was pop off his suspenders, take out his dentures, and put in that floppy disk.

love how mark inspires himself to jog fast by creeping himself out. Very efficient.

mark having a mental breakdown over seeing delmonte green beans is hillarious

Mark getting inspired by the commercial, making his own, and putting it in the CAR RADIO is by far the best thing I've seen this week.

Mark: I’m like a hero Me: you are a hero, you have saved me and plenty of other people. Mark, we appreciate your content and everything that you do. I have been waiting for someone to comfort me and help me. Your are a hero to me and to other people. Keep smiling and much love for you mark ❤️

5:50 this commercial has FLUMMOXED him

Mark's self-dialogue in the red vent is me talking to myself when I'm creeping downstairs at 3am for a midnight snack. The monster usually turns out to be my 4lb puppy. 😅

i was so busy watching the distactible promo that i didnt even realise how slowly mark was driving to give extra time for the bit... i love it.

The part when he whispers shut up at a drowning person got me the giggles

honestly love the music choices for this game. It hits home like a warm cup of tea after a panic attack lmao

Mark: “I don’t have intrusive thoughts” Also Mark: *Literally every time he’s being chased* “I WANNA LOOK BACK SOOO BAD” 😂😂😂😂

i like the fact that markiplier is explaining to us about his new air fryer while being chased by an unimaginable demon in a extremely dark and long vent system, thats what i call shielding yourself from anxiety by explaining about random crap, but you sold it really well mark!

The most true part about saving the souls in this game is how little it takes to do so. All it takes to help people is just by talking to them for just a moment, it makes them feel important and loved again, and i think thats beautiful

5:15 Imagine you buy the chips and its actually 0% air. like you get it and it's just a single block of chips condensed into one mass. like buy a bag of just one giant ice block instead of a bag of ice cubes.

The descent into madness of wanting to see the entity during the ventilation chase scene and then him getting got was absolutely terrifying

Mark trying to explain that he’s not a masochist is my favourite aesthetic

Finally a horror game with a good ending.

45:26 " But I promise you..." ...it gets soooo much worse. If you EVER think you're at the bottom, you are experiencing a lack of imagination, as life finds ever more creative ways of making you suffer and punishing you for every good deed you attempt. The pit only ever gets deeper, and salvation more distant, until hope is a vague memory. And then, presumably, you die.

I love how Mark tries to come up with convoluted rhythms and sounds to remember passcodes but REFUSES to write it down

this was absolutely beautiful game. i rlly liked the dementia and depression level and how evan/markiplier was a hero and was just talking to carlos bull and dave owens, i think markiplier painted the game in a great way, "i think they're going through grief". and then the end scene with the song "it's been a long long time" was a perfect touch. rlly summed everything up wonderfully. great job markiplier for playing the game, jordan lindgren for making the game, and lixian for editing. well done.

8:00 Goddamit Mark that series of tubes reference. Good shit. Takes me back to the beginning of the internet days lol

The song at the end is "It's been a long long time" by Harry James and his orchestra; it's the same song that Peggy and Steve dance to at the end of Endgame when Steve goes back in time. I realized that and it's a nice touch.

Mark: I don't have intrusive thoughts... Also Mark: I WANNA LOOK SO BADLY

i love how mark immediately assumes he’s dead two minutes into the video

I just love how many indie horror references Broken Through has. I sadly don't remember all the names, but every level strongly reminded me of one. The stairs obviously were SCP-487-B. The door closing was Try To Fall Asleep. The car, as you said Mark, was Night Time Radio. The "player 2 joined level" may be that FPS horror game. And aside from that, gosh the finale was just so heart warming and beutiful.

Gotta love Mark explaining how he is a protagonist then haunted by his past sponsorship endeavors in the form of beans and corn.

Mark: I could NEVER keep my windows open at night Also Mark: I deliberately try to make my evening runs as terrifying as possible to motivate me

no one asked but when [REDACTED] was still a thing, Mark's obsession with Del Monte got me into canned corn as well

The intro as a jumpscare never gets old

The 'It's Been A Long, Long Time' caught me off guard at the end, I started having Marvel flashbacks 💀

Whatching Mark, the first youtuber I ever subrscribed to, the person I grew up watching, the man pretty much taught me english with his Amnesia videos when I was a kid, playing a game I was part in creating is surreal! Thank you for this Mark it truly made my day - Noel, a man of various screams
