KOHATE: You've Been Arrested & Sold to the Highest Bidder in this Dark Dystopian Sci-Fi Horror Game! KOHATE will release on Steam later today: store.steampowered.com/app/13...
Note: For the second half of the video I turned on Casual Mode (which turns the monster off) as the monster is extremely hard to avoid and it sends you back to the start of the game if you die. The radiation can still kill you though and you've got to remember to press that button every 10 minutes!
Yeah, but the monster looks kind of derpy. Like, it still gives me the creeps, obviously. But it wouldn't look out of place as a spooky Halloween prop (And I'm not just saying that because Halloween is near!)
I don’t know why, but the acting didn’t scare me. Rather the acting has this charm to it, like someone freaking out in Rick and Morty. The voice actor needs more props
@@EvilSantaTheTrue Well... he's ending up as a human computer like the people you see during the video (before : 12:08, after : 38:43) Basically conscious, without any freedom, and stuck alive in this prison forever while others test subjects are taking blood samples & co. So yeah, death was better than this lol
@Garrett McBride But your effort wasn't fruitless! You have successfully demonstrated that you have sufficient mental capacity to process simple data and mentally conduct rudimentary complex tasks!
"Punishment served." HIM: "Oh, thank god!" "You will now be auctioned." HIM: "WAIT W H A T" "You will now be packaged for shipment" HIM: "SHIIIIIIT!" LOL the first few minutes of this game has caught my interest.
It's VERY creepy and disturbing how Biomass uses modified humans instead of machines simply because it's more efficient and (maybe) cheaper. Are they alive or conscious? The fact that we probably won't find out creeps me out. EDIT: After watching the video I got my answer. That is terrifying.
You can hear one of the womens face computers whispering "Please" at the main character among the others saying computer jargon toward the beginning of the video.
@@AsterBeCastin Thats a good interpretation. If that was intentional (probably was) thats really cool. I usually dont go for the survival run-away-from-monster games but since this one has a mode with no monster I'd probably play it. The stories are always so well done for these kinds of games.
They remove everything "unnecesary" on the subject to keep the low cost. What in the actual hell? So they removed his eyes, mouth and all sort of other organs. This horror is really intense, it is like an "organ stealer" society elevated to a terminator level.
So there are 2 endings to this, one is turning into a computer, the second is outsmarting the monster by leading it to an airduct which will send it out to space, in which you’ll get turned into the same monster since you’re “genetically” better than the other ones
this is weird, i thought this game was a carbon copy of a game called the subject, but it turns out this game and the subject are developed by the same developer
Pfft! that ending! Would have been better off just getting killed by the monster, make the company waste some money at least with your purchase then subsequent death.
@@theonpointheavy4401 OK, point made, that presumes the monster will do so, maybe it just wants to kill living things, and looses interest once they are dead, will we know, i don't think i'm interested in figuring that out :) Also, they've released the monster time and time again, during their "tests", so they must've been able to capture it also, probably through a lure, in other words, i don't think it's hard to capture a monster like that.
@@theonpointheavy4401 There is a nonzero chance that the monster would just club you to death and leave you there. I think that if you really want to spite them, go for the radiation vent. They cant resell your body, and you clogged a vent.
Now the problem is space is apparently america now overcrowded prisons and a system that profits off of it's inmates suffering for money with forced labor and cruel inhumane punisments that's the american justice system there
One of the “cassettes” explains it though. The police department has been arresting more people to fill Kohate’s demand for prisoners. So they literally arrest you for no reason so you can feed their science experiment.
"Ah yes, after everything I've just seen and heard, let me just climb onto this table here. I'm sure it will be different!" Nah man, I'd just off myself.
@@mylesbrown4648 he actually leaves the room too, and before going to that one avoided to step on the trap for of the completion room. He knew what was coming
I just loved how the player is treated as a disposable object so casually by the man talking to the player. The way the game ended was also uniquely terrifying. This is a great example of an indie horror game made by fans of horror :) My only critique is that I wish it was longer haha, I would have liked to see more of that monster and even learn more about it. Overall, great game.
@@lurksnitchtongue8986 horror game, suddenly “shift to run “ appears and that means there’s a monster u r going to need to use that for. And shift to run was right there when sea cucumber boi appeared
That voice acting thoooo i love. Also imagine u drop a napkin while walking and in the 0.2 seconds you slow down to grab it, you're immediately arrested and auctioned off
@@NetScourge Don't waste your time, this guy is a literal, actual nazi who hangs out in the ABG comments. The "Waffen" bit of his name wasn't picked at random.
@Zoomer Waffen The capitol raid a week ago proves otherwise. Ignoring everything wrong with it, some 30000 people of what you would term a fickle society, mostly made up of middle class white boomers, came out to overthrow a government they perceived as taking away their rights and freedom.
@@partialbullet2215 horror games without weapons/combat are stupid af. Think about it, you’re being chased by someone or something. You get cornered with no place to run.....are you gonna just stand there and die? A 13 year old would fight back in some way. Kicking, clawing.....anything but just standing there because God didn’t code you with a combat system. Also running around all day gets boring.
@@SageofSorrow When I played Outlast 2, my first thought when being chase was,” just pick up a shovel” If I’m not allowed to fight back, at least tell me why Like in The Joy of Creation, the monsters were huge
@@ChilloutLibrary Or maybe a massive chunk of the visual design. The corridors and vents are more than slightly similar. This game is very close to be Alien Isolation: bootleg edition.
At least you get to interact with weird creatures like pink blobs of sentient vicodin and ward off Gorefield with a plate of lasagna in SCP. Most of millenials and genZ would be too powerful as subjects, the whole universe runs on mimetics and we were born in to the very fabric of memes. Rock of procrastination... meet Uganda Knuckles. This is how we science in SCP. Lol sorry, I have to take the piss with SCP because it's so damn goofy.
@@Cretaal Nobody really takes it too seriously anymore, just be careful because some people tend to take SCP related stuff waaayyy too far (especially if someone insults SCP like you or I)!
@@fishethefish7463 Their own creators get bent out of shape if you suggest putting a gun in a horror game because they had a throbbing hardon for amnesia and forgot that Silent Hill exists. Tell them they suck at horror and ride the coat tails of SCP much more famouse than 173, good ones like 087, they love it. There's a Randy Pichford joke in there somewhere, I'm just too lazy to find it.
Your willpower means nothing if the "roboticization" machine surgically removes the parts of the brain that give people the ability to have free will and consciousness
As horrible as this is, it seems somewhat realistic? Human beings have been this horrible in the past and many still are. That’s what really scares me the most about this. Also, is there another ending? It looks like there could be if you don’t complete everything before pressing the completion button
"Realistic", hardly, history is full of far worse shit than the rage bait media can even dream of, and sadly as awesome as Cyberpunk is, it seems we're bound for a more Star Trek inspired future instead as year after year life gets better for the average person in ways small yet immeasurable. Compare your living standards today, with world leaders barely a century ago. You live in opulence even they could hardly imagine.
@@KageRyuu6 You’re right in some ways, the highest levels of quality of life increases, but idk if the amount of injustice decreases. It probably does, just much more slowly.
@@KageRyuu6 Unfortunately, life gets better for the decidedly NOT average person in much greater ways much quicker, while the responsibilities of upkeeping that standard of living rise, and always fall ON the average person, making those small ways life gets better feel a lot less impactful to the person that's always working away to provide for shit they don't actually see much return on personally. It's dangerous to assume opulence and cruelty are mutually exclusive, in fact they usually go hand-in-hand.
There is a difference between a game this hard/challenging but fun and hard that is a chore. This is a chore. After a couple of plays having to start all over, it just becomes annoying/tedious, you just feel like uninstalling the game. They have to patch this game to add an option at the beginning of the game to turn on checkpoints.
dark souls aint shit compared to ADoM, Rogue, and NetHack. ive been playing adom for over 10 years and still never have got ANY of the endings (unless death counts as an ending)
The game specifically mentions in the video that the police arrested people on bullshit charges to satisfy demand of the testing facility, so the pool of convicts gets more diluted and it doesnt seem as suspicious that one facility is buying all the convicts.
37:14 I love how ABG avoided the middle of the floor suspecting a trapdoor and even looked up to see if the button wasn't strategically placed so he would get crushed.
Already a class 12 high misdemeanor. The punishment is 8 to 11 months in prison, but the resulting auctioning off into slavery can be mercifully forgotten if you're willing to submit a sample of reproductive gametes into an artificial womb so that your future child can be enslaved in your stead.
Maybe I’m being too harsh but the start of the game really set me up for a good story & stuff with the great VA and the really creative ideas... and then it turns into a generic “horror game where a monster chases you in a maze” game. It’s even called a maze in game. It’s like there’s 2 different games and i got the intro to one and the gameplay for the other. Maybe it’s more fun when you play it.
I voiced the protagonist in the beginning, if you want me to work more with this developer or others, just let them know. I'd be happy to do more games :)
My man, The game is cool and has a pretty voice acting, but I ask, what happend with the monster after the first part of the video? Like, after the first dead he was gone _What did you did to him alpha?_
