doom nerd blindly experiences myhouse.wad (and loses his mind) 

“Instant doors” is doom terminology for silent teleporters

That trick is pretty well known. It's why the map is completely blacked out in this mod. If it wasn't, you'd see that you're being teleported all over the map when you walk around. So he probably wasn't too confused about that.

It's pretty common in ZDoom. Not so common outside.

The overlapping isn't weird for a Doom map

@@dumpanimator i agree, comrade.

My dad (who has played a lot of Doom) played this map, then proceeded to let my 9 year old brother play too. Was hilarious to watch, and I was really impressed by the backrooms and liminal spaces vibes from this map

It all begins with that simple "wait, how did he get this room to stack on top of another?", and then some running from evil notes start to desync...

best description i've ever seen

It's more to do with the fact that they DIDN'T open like that at first. It was all very normal up until that point. So he had tripped something to change it without even realizing.

@@Bluesit32 To add onto this, in order for such a thing to change in DooM you can't just replace the doors (at least not usually though knowing the tools that have developed with GZ this may have changed since I last looked at DooM modding). You basically have to transport the player to a completely different map with the same things without the player realizing it, which is a trick this map employs constantly with complete seamlessness. It's not adding in new entities, not swapping out entities.

​​@@pubcleits not completely seamless, but if you were paying very close attention, you'd definitely notice. jiggling back and forth a teleport point will make it very obvious

the backrooms is even in the wad itself

Backrooms content became so boring and stale after a “canon” was being established. The whole reason why it was interesting was the mystery and feeling of discovery, which this heavily plays into.

@@cementman1portals

Actually, the rooms above rooms only start happening later. There's a silent teleporter on the stairs.

Yeah, that’s not the vanilla doom engine, right off you notice the roof has inclined slopes

he did notice, straight away. 3:25 he comments what walking down the stairs 'instant door'. Instant door is DOOM modder speak for what most people would call a 'portal'.

@@Synthc4t it's like that one thing everyone does in portal. If you know, you know.

The "good dog" is the same as the hellhound, it's just that as a child the dog is big and scary but when the player grows up it becomes a friendly pet. The two brutalist houses are the same house separated by a few years of ageing by the player.

I didn’t think of that. Instead of a more straight forward wording, like “happiness is something you have to fight for” which loses the meaning of it being worth it. They used “to be fought for”. To be implies that it is worth it. This wad is unbelievable

Happiness has to be fought for*

@@V0IDWARE this is even more pertinent. It is your imperative to fight for your own happiness, lest.

@@hotdog8109 yeah ik

That sounds like one meaning to me. And you're just rewording it but not changing at all what it means. You can do the same when your mom says "Take the trash out" and you respond with "I have to take the trash out, and the trash needs to be taken to go out. Woah!" that's not a double meaning.

@@ddd-op5wy no hes cringe and getting mad on a youtube video about a doom wad lol

There are a couple exceptions, such as the dark maze and the backrooms area, but for the most part any non-house areas are connected back to a house-layout area, such as the plane or the locker room maze - even the convenience store is half of the house, making the parking lot and road count as a mere extension of the house. It's hilarious to look at the game's map and it's just all the same place, even some like the airport and that part of the brutalist maze having visibly scaled-up but otherwise identical layouts.

Also them: add lawnmower.

If it's still there, how come it's also twisted on its head?

@@Minarreal because it isn't just a regular maze where you go from point A to point B, which Regular DOOM does, but instead is a a more abstract take on it.

And it ends in the most Doom was possible, you just shoot a ton of demons

i had a mini stroke reading the first part of your main comment

Hearing the music change really fucked with me on my playthrough. And I IMMEDIATELY noticed the smooth doom animations. This was an absolute gem of a wad, an instant masterpiece imo.

It sounds like an imitation of particularly chaotic thrash metal. Its not unlistenable by any means.

​​​​@@adrianaslund8605 the uncanniness of the song comes from it being a _slightly wrong_ version of running from evil, which is the first song in doom 2, it also happens to be the song that most doom mods use since most modders don't replace the music tracks in their levels, which keeps running from evil as the track for the first level in a mod, this essentially means that most of the doom community has this song etched into their minds to the point it becomes familar, so the scare itself becomes stronger the more familiar you are with the original game. the map ruins this sense of familiarity by initially establishing the song as exactly the same it's always been, but then starting to twist it when the house itself starts getting weirder. it'd be like listening to the original studio version of falling in love with you on loop, but realizing on the second loop that the piano is slightly off-tune, or that the lyrics are different, and by the fifth loop, the original song is barely recognizable.

@@residentkrockhead Its aint even a wad, although it labels itself to be. Its a PK3

​@@Schnort the sweet is never as sweet without the sour or vice versa in this case😮

His name is Steve nelson, his username is veddge. He used to be popular in the 90s but went silent until this game dropped. The only explanation he has given so far was that he was finishing his dead friend Tom's map. Technically, since Tom started the map around 1997 as a side project, it is 15 years old. It is quite ominous and a little sad as it is an expression to say goodbye or recieve some sort of closure in his good friends passing.

@@BrendansMomFitnessOfficial Which makes this mod even better since one of the obituaries is of one Steve Nelson who died on the same day as the "friend" Tom

This kind of project required a team. Steve and Tom are part of the story.

It's an ARG, I suspect the devs have been working on it for several years

He didn't just casually dropped this, his profile matches up with the story

I wonder how they did the normal doors. If this is using some GZDoom enhancement ot however it is technically achieved. Also how it pushes the player aside instead of just squishing him or making the door/game break

I just don't see the connection to House of Leaves beyond like a super reductionist reading of the basic premise. That is, that there is a house that's bigger on the inside than the outside. Beyond that, I don't really see anything in the video (so far) that references the book

@@cloudshad0ws Well in this video itself, you can see the first time he completes the map when the house disappears and is replaced with a "For Sale" sign, it is up for sale by "Navidson Realty", a direct reference to the name of the owner of the house in House of Leaves. The journal detailing the mod creator's descent into madness, referenced in several times in the video, also directly mirrors many of Johnny's musings while putting together the book in House of Leaves. And while not shown in this particular video, there is also an extremely large (and entirely extraneous) segment that just builds the space from the house basically exactly as described in the book. It's very clear that the creators of the mod took a lot of inspiration for both the mod and the story behind it from House of Leaves, in addition to things like liminal spaces and the backrooms.

@@cloudshad0ws I think what is so similar between this mod and the book is less so the plot, and more the format of the mod. It sounds a bit silly, but house of leaves uses its form as a book to tell and enhance its story, partly using reader's expectations of a book against them to unsettle them. This mod does that with a doom mod. They are both built with a similar nested story, where someone receives an unfinished work from a dead friend/acquaintance and becomes obsessed with it. The work in question deals with a messed up house yeah, but each house is wrong in ways specific to their repsective genres. Something I love about this mod is that the player gets to experience the "navidson record" where the reader only gets to read it. The specifics of how each is messed up are not the same, but a hol house wouldn't work for a doom audience. Navidson might initially realize that his house is larger inside by a few inches than it is outside and a myhouse player might notice the reappearance of windows outside that didnt exist before. When exploring the house, yes, it was unsettling because it was getting bigger, but it was more that the house did not act as a house should. It grew as you would walk hallways, stairways going miles into the earth would appear, vast chambers and hallways that went up both ways. Imo for a video game, unusual architecture isn't all that unnerving. You are supposed to progress and move through levels, so by returning again and again to the same map, it twists that idea of progression into a source of anxiety. There's a lot more that I think really works with the house of leaves analogy(?), like the increasing addition of features and mechanics that are not present in the original games and how that maps onto the usage of text spacing and orientation, colors, etc. but I've been writing for a while and getting increasingly pretentious about it, so I'm going to stop. But I will say, this mod is maybe my favorite thing I've found in a while.

​@@jordynanable3429also how the word House in the journals is in blue even on a monochromatic text.

@@julianbello8376 IMSCARED is a good one

some games feel like they're trying to mimic movies, and some games feel like movies. this map feels like every second something is right behind the corner making more of it, trying to make you feel insane. like if you played this map again, you wouldn't have the same experience.

this is something unique to videogames. sure, you can make movies and videos about stuff like this, but videogames make it *tangible.* you can't replicate what a mod like this does to your head in a movie

It's a mod with the especific intent to make you uncomfortable, not even disturbed, the subtly changing layout of the house, the jarring and sudden shifts in tone even absurdly minute details like the weapon animation changes you said. It does everything in it's power to make sure you never feel safe or at ease, it even goes out of it's way to create scenarios like the completely normal underhalls to lure you into a false sense of security only to pull the rug from you by looping you back in the house as if to imply that even things you thought you knew are now alien and not trustworthy. Also the fact that there's NO jumpscares is amazing because it knows that at some point you expect the big screamer to show up but instead the mod leaves you in paranoia the entire time.

The backrooms in general seems interesting and all but something about this…. It feels almost malicious

@@patrickloureiro351 Another thing the map does is slightly raise the camera, to fit the scale of the house. It’s almost unnoticeable, especially in My House, but the camera isn’t lowered for Underhalls.

I always love it when I see horror that gives the feeling that something is simply fundamentally wrong and should not exist, sometimes in ways you can’t even really explain in words.

So freaking satisfying to see the mindfuck reach its intended audience

He didn't. He saw the power pak video before this. It's incredibly painful trying to listen to him pretend this is all pure reactions when it sounds so damn fake and overemphasized the whole time. There's just too much he notices instantly that most DOOM regulars wouldn't even pick up on as fast, John Romero even didn't notice a lot of the crap this guy picks up on somehow instantly.

That fucked me up the most. The complete and utter silence as you traverse that dark hallway was the most unnerving thing to me in the entire mod.

Clearly the Navidson 5 1/2 minute hallway is a work of fiction and Navidson was just experimenting in movie shorts. -The Editors

I think he accidentally entered the hallway from the inside but his back was turned and he left straight after; so he didn't see it.

That’s the best part- it always resembles the original building. The layout of the House is reused in almost every “different” place.

it reminds me of undertale in a way

@@hiitssam5075 I can understand that, since both games mindfuck with you in some capacity.

That's what liminal spaces are all about. Doom is a perfect medium for it, because in Doom it's less you being locked in with monsters and more them being locked in with you, so the space itself has to actually be well-crafted to be unsettling. All (most) of the areas share the house's basic layout, warped and twisted in places or added onto with new sections, and the strange, looping space messes with your perception of scale and distance making it feel truly endless. Everything else may be stuck in there with you, but you're still all stuck in there.

Including a house that shifts impossibly, doors that appear where they shouldn't, dark hallways that can't exist, all the mentions of the word "House" are a blue text, even in the title and the Google Document, apparently the family name of the "Sold" sign at the end is also the name of the book characters.

Not to bash on the mod, but this stuff actually isn't _that_ advanced if you consider it's all things that other mods have been doing for well over a decade now. The swimming/oxygen is just a built-in GZDoom feature that I've seen in more levels than I can count, and Cerberus' behaviour isn't even close to mimicking that of the Blood enemy; it's a completely different enemy with the same sprites (and sounds).

​@@Razumen I think that's the main thing, it uses these things to it's advantage and shows everything you can do.

@@SoybeanStudios They're only new if you've never touched a custom doom map in like...decades.

Yeah, these are all things that *have* existed within the space of GZDoom for a *while.* Porting enemies from Build Engine games is pretty common practice, portals and line teleporters have been a thing for a long time. It all lies in the execution. The map deliberately leads you into thinking the author just did some basic-level stuff- the teleports when moving into the basement initially are very obvious- and gradually has everything completely unravel into madness. A lot of it isn't new, but it's used *masterfully* to fuck with the player.

It's made for a sourceport, so it's perfectly likely it has actual multiple floors support.

so far banana seems to be the second one (i know of) to point it out, the first was "Power Pak" who did a whole guide/walkthrough of the map

I think Power Pak did a wonderful rundown of the map and he pointed out the PSX Xbox thing. It's the video that made me play this map, and I'm glad I did. I had it spoiled, and even playing it myself I was amazed at all the cool trickery and stuff. Still took me over an hour to experience all I'm aware of in this map.

I've watched several of these now, they all somehow see the psx to xbox thing lol. The secret of the map is that he drew the house about 16 times and had many portals between the slightly different versions.

Its sad he didn’t find the bfg

He's absolutely not the first to point out the PS, basically every single video mentions it. He IS possibly the fastest person to notice the music switching up and the smooth gun animations though.

true masterpiece

It's especially wild because it shows a *lot* of restraint. When you initially go into the house, it's pretending to just be a Boom-compatible map at most; the "compromises" made to make the downstairs work are very obvious and apparent (if you look up in the main house, you'll see the upstairs abruptly get walled off once you get low enough down the stairs), and even once the house changes for the first time, it's still not TOO crazy. The doors are polyobjects now, the two floors are a bit more cleanly integrated now, no big deal. And then everything just gradually unwinds more, and more, and more. Whoever made the map got a *lot* of use out of the line portal special, let me tell you!

fun fact, if you look closely enough at the frames of him using them chainsaw you can see that doomguy IS wearing a flesh colored glove by the looks of it!

oh i am well aware that it is a glove, but i have always thought it looked more like it was made out of skin than proper glove material lol

@@SpazmaticBanana it looks like it was designed a glove, but whoever colored it missed that and made it ALL hand colored

was it the one by powerpack?

@@the_fish909 youre never gonna believe this

@@rocket_is_so_flipping_cool i watched that lmao

What's the other

thank youu dont know how people believe this shit lol

Thank God some people aren't completely blind. In the first few minutes I could tell that he had watched other walkthroughs and maybe even played it already. Not sure what kind of person falls for this.

he never says its a blind run lol. he mentions checking the guide when hes lost n stuff. and who cares? its entertaining either way

I like how three people in a row missed OP's joke
