The final death (Waiting Too Long in the Cold Means...) can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tX5nS1jW1Do.html Much thanks to Hex for discovering how to get it.
The smoke death was among the scariest. In real life, the overwhelming heat is unlikely to be your main cause of death in a house fire. At the least, the smoke works with the heat to make things unbearable. At most, it could be the only thing that kills you, and it really is miserable. It's true to life in this game.
The best thing you can do when a fire starts is to get on the ground and crawl, smoke rises so it'll float above the air. If you stand, you're very likely to breathe in CO2. But since you can't ventilate the room in this game nor call for help, you're pretty much screwed.
(Spoilers!!!) I noticed after getting the death where you wait in the cold, “Jay” is the name of the blue haired figure that you use to view the graves. I found this out after trying to view the death, in which someone (I’m assuming Frederika) tells Jay the tape cannot be watched.
I enjoy playing games that have them, due to remembering games like Shadowgate as a kid along with text-based adventures like Zork or Planetfall and CYOA books. There's a bit of morbid curiosity is seeing what deaths are added (and sometimes they're quite entertaining or humorous).
I also recently picked up Anchorhead, a lovecraftian text-based adventure that I played many years ago that has a variety of deaths. I doubt a text-based adventure game death compilation would work, but perhaps one day.
Also, AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS SORRY FOR JACKIE?! I mean cripes she's trapped in that place, it literally turned her into a monster, it's not her fault she went insane! I really wish there was an ending where we could save her X
I get where you're coming from. Jackie didn't seem all that malicious, just callous and not very bright. That being said, she didn't have to turn into a monster if she didn't want to, considering how not every occupant in the library had to be hostile. I think in the end, she cared more about her idea of her friendship with Mitch than the actual person Mitch was, and that's what I think doomed their friendship and her, ultimately.
@@JLF-cn1rr yeah but in her defense, she got hit by a fricken car and trapped in that place. Also im not 100% sure she willingly turned into a monster, i think the game said it turns you into one against your will or something.
@@gizzbeadolls3333 After I watched Alpha Beta Gamer gameplay, I didn't feel bad for her at all - even though nobody deserves this kinda fate but also when she was alive, she could've find other guy to be her lover, instead of spend rumors about Mitch's identity to everyone that almost driven Mitch to suicide, just because he didn't had the same feelings for her and he was gay. (But that's just my perspective, I just don't really know.) After she died, she was responsible for everything what Mitch had been through, just to be forever with her. Though her real intentions was to be friends with Mitch again, they were done wrong obsessed and probably couldn't accepts Mitch the way he is. So it was fairly deserved for her ugly mug to get beaten by Mitch.
This game flew under the radar for me initially despite being right up my alley (guess I'll have to keep a better eye out for upcoming games like this). I try to make sure I have everything together as I don't like to do a missed death video (although I did get the final death shortly after uploading this so I'll be doing so soon) and I certainly have the folks discussing the game on the Steam forums to thank for the more secret stuff like ending #3.
Can someone explain to me the last ending? Is it supposed to be one of those "ufo endings" like silent hill where it's either meant to be silly or break the fourth wall or something???
Not certain but it's called the "Demeter Tape"-- Demeter was a greek goddess who plunged the world into eternal winter and threw humanity into a famine by refusing to allow spring to come because her daughter, Persephone, was married off to and kidnapped by Hades by Zeus without her or Persephone's consent. To appease Demeter, Zeus went back on his deal with Hades and (depending on the tale) Hades either tricked Persephone into eating six pomegranate seeds or Persephone ate them willingly, causing her to be bound to the Underworld for six months but allowing her to spend six in the land of the living with Demeter. Given the frost theme and the reverse-Persephone situation (Mitch being kidnapped and held in an underworld by Jackie), the Demeter Tape may be one of those meta comments they're fond of. (I Cannot Drown and Lily's Well both had meta interactions: in I Cannot Drown the player character has a secret ending where she admits she not only is perfectly aware of what the game is but interacts with both an entity beyond herself but also the new game + effect she gains on completing the game, and in Lily's Well the player UI itself is part of the narrative, feeding you part of the phone number you need and tracking your deaths in your protagonist's name.) As far as I can guess, in this case "Demeter Tape" refers to how it's going to ruin their appetites and it's apparently happening before the game (and Mitch's actions) progress past a certain point: aka the point where winter stays and starves humanity until Hades lets go of Persephone-- only to take her back again six months later. So this may be a loop that Mitch is condemned to because Jackie won't ever let go, and the other library's occupants are forced to go through this each loop, losing their appetites as Jackie's little snuff film replays over and over and over each time she sets the trap up for Mitch, trying to get him to eat her pomegranates. Given the fourth wall breaks, "Demeter" could be what she's using to achieve this (see the use of meta in the author's other works again). So we're seeing a little beyond the fourth wall with this ending.
I don’t why I’m so fascinated with games like these. The deaths are just so creative and brutal. They keep me up at night but damn, bro got shot for not washing his hands lol
Wut? How the hell do you get hurt by glass shards if you smash the machine with a fire extinguisher? The glass would've fallen IN, so just... how much of a clumsy trash is Mitch to achieve that feat? (Well, besides devs clearly forcing one way of doing things on you, all else being beyond their comprehension.)
Instead of opening the door and going to the computer terminal get a ticket and then move west to start a chase. Get caught by your pursuer for that death.
Some deaths can be avoided easily, but you'd be amazed by how stupid people can be in real life and how people die. There are people who died in ways that you can't comprehend 'how' it happened, and all you can think is total lack of brain cells.
@@retrobitadam Funnily enough, in todays' era, people are getting more and more stupid, and expect you or others to tell them what to do in a scenario like this. There has been an experiment done in 2023, Teens who were tested what they would do if a fire started, and they didn't know what to do and just panic. If a fire really happened, that entire class would be dead already from the incompetence they showed. And it's not even their fault, they get taught jackshit anywhere.
Wish this dude knew how to draw.. looks like he uses stock images for references, but draws the main character freehand; it looks awful. The spike pit death especially emphasizes just how little the creator knows about perspective and anatomy. It's bizarre and stifles the game.
I actually like it, something about it is so unique, it makes it look more unsettling in a way. And in all of pureiceblue's games the protagonists always look so cute！！ :D
