IRON LUNG 

"I'm going to go into the ocean, and i'm going to... fuck." Weird way to overcome your phobia but good luck Mark!

Imagine overseeing this mission and getting the report: "We've reached roughly five-forty, I am turning due North to see what the hell was just blink-blonking on my ass over there"

Man, if I had a nickel for every time markiplier made a project about him, space, and death, I’d have two nickels

Honestly if the movie is just Mark sitting in a metal tube continually giving out his coordinates and talking to houston (which would definitely be imaginary and he's just crazy talking to himself), I'd be happy.

So it's a submarine in an ocean of blood... Does that make it... A blood vessel?

Wow, this was such a novel, enjoyable experience. Someone should make a movie of this game.

3:25 The sheer contrast of Mark reading this as he does in this video, compared to Lauer's reading in the trailer, is HARROWING. What a time we live in.

"We are not facing any delusions of grandeur, except for how great I am" unironically a killer line

i genuinely enjoyed marks way of playing, it's weirdly comforting to hear him say numbers and angles like you're safely sailing with a captain who knows his shit

This game has two horrors: 1. the horrifying sounds 2. Trigonometry

27:49 "Houston, we are running for our lives. We HAVE shit our pants." had me dying LOL

The film now needs to open with "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and I'm very tired. I'm gonna go into the ocean and I am going to.......FFffuuuuck."

The fact that Mark is making a movie based on this says allot, Mark's dedication to horror and is transitioning into different lanes in entertainment is immaculate.

"blood can cause gastrointestinal problems" *vampires must be taking some mean shits*

This is what I love about Mark. He loved this game so much, and he’s working not only to add to this thing he loves, but also to draw attention to it and it’s creator. That’s what his channel is all about. He plays popular games, yeah, but he also plays all these indie games, and he gives a lot of them a good moment of fame, and it’s just really cool.

Seeing Mark read the note here, and then hearing the VO of that note in the Iron Lung trailer, is HAUNTING. That movie is shaping up to be SO GOOD!

An actual Houston call like that would be terrifying and hilarious “Moving on pretending I didn’t hear that Houston” “Hear what? Mark HEAR *WHAT?* ”

Fun fact: the game's creator, David Szymanski, has confirmed that even though you can't see directly outside the sub, the entire map is a fully modeled 3D environment that you are actually moving through, which is why you can get different angles for the pictures. There are even some weird secrets hidden throughout the map for those industrious enough to explore!

11:37 “Got a bad feeling I’m looking at an angler fish of some type..” Mark foreshadowing his own demise without even knowing it

Hearing Mark say 29:20 "That's not possible." Genuinely gave me chills. I can just imagine Houston "MARK WHATS NOT POSSIBLE?!"

29:25 Mark isn't crazy, the game actually teleported him over 3 sectors away after that sound happened. Totally get his bewilderment from it.

Don’t worry Mark, if your oxygen runs out you won’t have to worry about the fires

I love how around the 29 minute when Mark hears that bang sound you can see the coordinates jumping like he got through a portal and was teleported. The confusion after that was pure gold.

I can't wait to hear Mark in the movie say "Why are there giant dildos at the bottom of this blood ocean?" gonna be the best part

"This note has not changed to something horrible" Mark knows horror games so well

I enjoyed the way Mark read things off like he's actually recording a mission instead of a let's play.

Imagine watching Iron Lung not knowing who he is, coming here to see what started it all after watching such a great movie, and being greeted with THIS intro

Can’t believe they made a game based off a movie that ain’t even out yet.

This is a perfect game to showcase why sound design is so important. Also, how has RU-vid not figured out that every game that isn't a AAA/well known title does not equal FNAF?

mark talking out loud to himself as if there is an entire crew under his command really enforces the idea that he is terribly sleep deprived

coming here from the latest trailer. love to see how the comments are now split between the movie, the gameplay and oceangate

someone has probably already thought of this but imagine if the entire planet is a creature with its blood on the outside

Mark is so task-oriented that he barely cares about the noises or scary shit in photos because he’s like “OBJECTIVE!!!”

I love the idea of Mark, tired and sleepy, coming back from In Space, playing Iron Lung and than going "Welp, time to make another masterpiece."

You know, it would be so cool if marks Iron lung movie was not actually this character, but a completely different character in one of the other three blood oceans and the letter left behind was just something the people who put him in the sub left in every iron lung to tell the convicts you were going to die no matter what, that'd be a really cool concept honestly

David is a genius with his games. He inspires me to make short indie horror. I'm developing my first game hope it goes well

“Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and I am tired.” Relatability and honesty- no wonder he’s been on here for 10 years lmao

Markiplier: Changes the angle and degrees of the ship. Also Mark: “This game truly is the most entertaining thing I have ever done.”

man i sure hope there will be a dramatic reading of that first note to the visuals of a blood covered mark and the gift of the consequential voice of the unaverse that bends our will.

40:32 "Please tell me this is the last goodbye" *Radar beeping rapidly* It sure will be your last goodbye

Mark: "That's not possible" Also Mark: *Flies through wormholes*

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this, but I’ve been thinking about how absolutely nauseating the smell would become when the Iron Lung starts filling with blood. That’s simply a horrific thought to me, yet I love it. Cannot wait for the movie.

Do you ever imagine Mark finishing filming Space, then coming back and playing Iron Lung, and in his head as soon as he gets into the lore it’s just like “ah shit, I gotta make a movie about this”. The man never stops

"Maybe in another multiverse, there's some part of me that lives on to go into the blood ocean another day." Mark decided to just make his own multiverse to go into the blood ocean. Such dedication.

I like that when mark finds the creature, his immediate reaction was to create the most intimidating gorilla noise he could.

40:20 Mark : "Houston, can I get some music ?" Lixian : _(Begins playing The Last Goodbye)_ Ship : _(Gets Severely Damaged and Floods)_ _Houston definitely knew what they were doing_

Pov: youre trying to discern which comments talking about "this game irl" are referencing the titan sub and which ones are referencing the movie

"How fucking cool does a blood ocean sound? Not at all when im in it" Ironic considering he's making a movie on that exact premise

man this is a cool game hope nobody tries to make it real

In all reality, Markiplier's joke about the resources in blood is on point. Trace amounts of iron... a high percentage of derivable water... organic materials that could be made into food... for a dying civilization, an entire ocean of blood is a priceless resource in its own right.

3:31 wow someone should make a movie with this note, it’s so cinematic.

'You will be welded shut as the sub isn't generally made for that depth.' Now where have I heard this before... Hmmm

I can't believe Markiplier liked this game so much that he decided to make a movie about it

There is something SO nice about how he understands coordinates and angling the sub and he says it all out loud like a professional. Idk, it's just very satisfying to me

44:10 the slow realization, that somebody should turn this bloody gem, into a movie… Markimoo: welp… guess, it’s gonna be me!

3:42 I like how Mark took this line and turned it into a badass teaser trailer😂

Alright, I've gotta say, Mark dictating his actions in a collected and professional manner might just be the best thing ever. It's like he actually knows what he's doing!

As a French Horn player myself, I can in fact confirm that we typically spend most of our practice time in blood ocean. They have the best acoustics for our specific instrument.

Crazy to think Mark just finished In Space, his biggest project ever at that point. Then he sat down to lay an indie game without realizing it was going to be a literal theatre production level project. This man doesn't really do down-time, I feel like. Genuinely do worry he may burn out. I hope not, though.

Can't wait for the movie to release and it's just this video with no alterations

this shit is actually really well made and terrifying. the name of the ship being iron lung and then the idea of being alone in the bottom of the ocean with so much out to get you but never being able to tell if it's gonna get you was amazing. such a great atmosphere

21:58 is so perfect in horror. You've been alone, just piloting a sub for like 20 minutes. Give or take. They've been hammering in just how alone you are the entire time during that. And then they punch you straight in the gut with another lifeform. It doesn't jump out at you in the picture, it just confirms it's own existence to you and now you know you're not alone. Which is arguably worse than the proposed solitude since the beginning.

Wow, i cant believe they made a game based off Marks future movie!

Hearing Mark reading the letter after watching the trailer to the Iron Lung movie is making my soul shiver! I am so proud of you Mark!!!

From being sleep deprived playing the game, to being sleep deprived while making an entire movie about the game. Good job Mark

Despite this being a horror game, there is something oddly soothing about Mark rattling off coodinates and angles, even with the noises of something moving through the blood water outside.

22:45 Mark: "Making my way down t-" My Brain: "DOWNTOWN, WALKING FAST, FACES PASS AND I'M HOME BOUND DADADAADAAADADADAAAAAA!"

after watching the second trailer for the movie, listening to mark reading the same lines used in the trailer gave me chills

Mark should now make a special called In The Deep With Markiplier. It’s just him in constant terror

mark: *gets scared of steam* also mark playing poppy’s playtime ch 2: *gives entire speech on how steam will never scare him*

I'm going to describe this cause some of you don't get the fear you should be feeling. You're forced into a submarine plunging deep into a crimson sea of blood, after some time your breathing and body heat cause it to become very warm, you're trying not to pant as you need to conserve oxygen but what comes next is even worse. Suddenly you hear a series of animalistic groans followed quickly by a *thunk* sound, it pierces your submarine but ultimately leaves, for a second your relieved but that's not the half of it. Slowly but surely the feeling and smell of sweat over your body changes to the feeling of cold, viscous, and sticky blood beginning its accent upwards first the bottom of the sub, then your feet are covered, then above your ankles. assuming since this is a moon, there's no atmosphere the blood is cold but it still smells of death, you desperately make sure not to retch and make the liquid even more gross. You decide to distract yourself with trying to get the pictures as quick as possible, but wait how did I get here? This is where it said I was a moment ago? A current? But the oceans' made of blood, and you're in a big hunk of metal how could you get here so fast? You decide to ignore it and press on, but all the pictures you get are of the skeletons of large creatures, if those are dead, what killed them? Your pondering is interrupted by another loud thump, and as you turn on the camera you see the eye of something huge, gigantic, it leaves, but the sensation of terror doesnt. You get the last picture, but it doesn't matter, by the time they pull you out of your submersible you'd already died from asphyxiation. Anyway sorry I got a tad carried away but tldr its scary and wet and cold and dark

This feels like the one game he’s naturally really good at. The rest of the games he’s good because he played but this is just talent. I have no idea what is going on

About the blood oceans Once is an event Twice is a coincidence A third time is a pattern A fourth time is a widespread occurrence

Mark: "Is that the song of the blood ocean siren?" Me: No. It's the Gongoozler. *Edit* One can hope for such a reference in a certain movie that is now being made...

Mark is the kind of person to see a game and say “is anybody gonna make a movie out of that” and not wait for an answer

3:26 Bing bang boom, the letter that became the trailer!

Mark: “I’m gonna go into the ocean… and I’m going to fuсk.” Classic Markiplier Experience.

This makes me feel like Mark is a natural ship captain. He’s just so at ease with coordinates and charting! That stuff would be my nightmare lmao

It's funny watching Mark say the note in the game, and then watching the trailer and hearing him speak it again! Sends shivers down my spine!

22:48 making our way down town, swimmin fast, black mesa passed and im gonna drown!

It’s odd that this game made a prisoner go on the mission for “their freedom” while irl people paid $250,000 each for an arguably worse experience

"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and I'm tired." How we should introduce ourselves to extraterrestrials.

Because of this, Mark has just now finished editing a movie about this game. What a world we live in

The interactions between Lixian and Mark are so adorably funny. 🥰

"I am scared and horny." It would be so fucking funny if this quote was in the movie. It's probably not, but could you imagine

Imagine if there was an actual Mission Control listening. This entire conversation would be a “wait, wtf? What’s not possible? What are you pretending not to hear? Wtf is happening down there?”

This game really is fascinating. It entierly takes place in a tiny space, theres no other characters besides radio guy, theres no clear view of the world you are on, and theres tons of mystery around the idea of the Quiet Rapture and blood oceans even after the game ends, and its still so facinating. AND the best part is its unique. Its not a play on a story or IP that already exists, its not using typical gameplay mechanics people are used to, its entirely doing something new and something youve never seen before and i love people that can do that successfully cause it feels so rare these days

There's a lot of iron in this game

I love that the “THE LAST GOODBYEEEEE” part synced up with Mark looking at the photo of the eye and the noise the creature made it seem like it was singing along too lmao

Jacksepticeye: Panicking on the get go, gunning towards wall with absolutely no idea Markiplier: Navigate the hell out of the blood, ignore the monstrosity outside and then get scared by oxygen decrease alarm Me: Equally entertaining

I missed this upload when it first dropped. But then all the movie stuff came out and I knew I needed to come back to this. Yeah I see why now. This is amazing. Also 22:12 had me making noises at a pitch I didn't know I could reach when the fish thing was gone on the second picture. Maybe it's just me thinking of "We Need to Go Deeper" but I for sure thought it was gonna be on the sub with Mark when he turned around.

Woah, this game is such a gem in storytelling! It’d be even better if they put it into perspective, through idk.. a movi-

5:38 "Might be the souls of the damned at the bottom, but what do I know? I'm one of them." Unironically a metal quote.

My favorite theory about this game is the theory that it wasn’t the planets that vanished, but the people who “survived” the quiet rapture being transported to an alternate dimension (kinda like other space if you’re well versed in Star Wars lore), where things were mostly the same, but… off (planets not being there, and there being normally impossible things like Blood Ocean. Think about it, from their perspective, it would seem like everything ELSE disappeared instead of them, so the lore of this game may be a result of a horrible mass-FTL travel failure Edit: I’ve seen people mention Ghost-Light from stars. There could be 2 explanations for this: 1: the alternate dimension could have had stars that have just went super-nova, and the left over light is the by product, OR: they are not in an alternate dimension, and the quiet rapture never actually happened: the FTL failure could have been time-dilation based, where the stations that survived just so happened to end up at the same time, after Entropy consumed most of the Universe

I’m imagining the Iron Lung movie will be just a live action version of Mark’s commentary’s in this video

29:04 I’m so late to this and I’m pretty sure someone prbly already commented, but if you look very very closely at his coordinates, his X dropped around 200 points and his y raised around 100. Literal teleportation 😭

Mark: Just drink the blood! Lixian: Drinking blood can cause gastrointestinal problems Well, that explains Mark's medical history.

The most terrifying thing in this game is taking 2 pictures after each other and seeing that something has changed without you doing anything

COOL, this game deserves a movie

Mark quietly making calculations to himself is oddly very comforting.
