Jack, electrician here, you’d be very right about power lines like that being dangerous in any fashion. Power lines are normally running with 415 volts to 66,000 volts, either of those being increasingly dangerous when water is involved. Not to mention that the wire cables used by a line like that would be significantly too thick for bolt cutters. Stay safe people.
It’s even dangerous to step out of the cat o to the pavement like that when there’s a live line, no? I know the rubber on your tires means you’re safe in your car, but if you don’t have rubber soles you’re kinda screwed with how close she was?
Dad’s “secret” definitely had something to do with the murders and kidnappings in that last one. Also Tina’s attitude towards her parents is telling. She’s neglected; they don’t even bother to remember what toys they already gave her? That old nanny may have been more than just a nanny.
@@Inkycedar i noticed that too! that plus the condoms in the box makes me think there was an affair and maybe the mom found out and killed her (or maybe the dad killed her or they killed her together?) and then she was buried under that rock? or maybe the nanny killed herself?
This is a fantastic theory and your probably correct, but it doesn’t explain the sudden appearance of the Nannie’s painting on the rock. It should have been there since she died. But maybe that’s just an oversight.
(Spoilers for the 3rd Midnight Scenes) Jack seemed to miss the "very odd" fact that the father had a "kissed" photo of the deceased nanny in a box, which also suspiciously contained condoms (which also suspiciously triggers the "Father's Secret" achievement), that was locked in a cabinet within his office. This can mean one of two things: 1) The nanny and the father were having a secret affair behind the mother's back. When the nanny went to expose their affair, the father killed her to keep her silent. But because of the mysticism of the forest, her spirit remained and she decided to claim the kids as her own because of how much they meant to her and to get revenge on the father. 2) The "nanny" wasn't actually a nanny and was instead the kids' real mother, which would explain one of the kids being a baby at the time. When the father began an affair with his current wife, possibly the kids' nanny at the time, the "nanny" found out his secret and then he killed her, then told the kids that she was just the nanny. Same thing as before, the forest kept her spirit around and she went to regain her kids, but also to take revenge on the father. The most insidious part of all of this comes in the form of some of the other implications within the dialogue and events, which implies that the father seemingly wasn't just letting his affair stop at the "nanny", but rather was potentially sleeping with both Mrs. Jordan and possibly Veronica. For Mrs. Jordan: her death just seems random, but it would make sense if the "nanny" knew something. For Veronica: we know the father has already had a thing for nannies/babysitters, she asks Tina if she considers her part of the family yet, (according to Tina) she apparently already disappeared on them once before and Tina thinks she has a "boyfriend" she is seeing, she was apparently lured out to the forest by a duplicate of "someone" who can use the boat, and she ends up killed by the "nanny".
I think the neighbor was killed because she was sleeping with the dad. Thomas' dad began a downward spiral after getting a call from a doctor. I think the doctor told him that Thomas wasn't really his son because his wife was cheating.
Makes sense but I don't understand if the nanny was killed how Tina or Oliver (I don't remember who) told that they don't believe that she left with her family to California, and that they saw and ambulance right after that. It would be weird if she was killed and an ambulance was called. Idk!
funfact! starlings in or near your house can mean the visit of the deceased trying to send a message, usually its considered a bad omen, at the beggining of the third episode, the kid mentions a starling just made a nest in a tree nearby
@@xxCrimsonSpiritxx I did some digging and I actually found a site which explain the starlings symbolism and all that. I don't know how to fact check stuff like symbolism/folklore or mythology or whatever but the site said "A starling who finds its way into your home is an indication that God or a deceased loved one is trying to relay you a message." they also explain how the bird is often viewed as a bad omen but the part about flying in to your house doesn't stand out as much compared to it's connection to welsh mythology, the Greeks and Romans as well as some other "Starling symbolism".
@2:25 fun fact, getting out of the car one foot at a time near that power line, unless 50 feet away, wouldve shocked her instantly if it wasn’t a video game. If you ever do come across a power line situation and you absolutely do need to get out of the car, you get out with both feet on the ground at the same time and bunny hop or shuffle your feet as you move away from the power line.
Was a railroad worker. We had the power line come down once. Everyone stood still for 2 hours before someone came and shut it off. We could have done what you said but we didn't want to risk anything.
@@ranimeRAT Electricity requires a complete path to flow. Keeping both feet on the ground and close together keeps them both electrically common, meaning there will be no voltage between the two points, and so no current to create an electrical shock. Same logic behind how birds sit on power cables without frying themselves. It works a bit different on the ground though, as electricity moves through the ground in pulses/ripples, so if your feet are apart from each other, one may be in a slightly different voltage zone than the other, causing a current to flow through the person, electrocuting them, hence bunny hopping is effective, if risky, as it keeps both feet together, ensuring they are in the same voltage zone, so no current will flow.
In case anyone is curious, the code to open the clean room during the second episode was 8 because it was the 8th (found on the wall next to Richard's desk). The top of the code list showed what appeared to be a mini-calendar as a hint.
Okay so im super late to this but wouldn't it be 10 because there are 12 possible codes and it was october if i remember right because 12 codes and 12 months, there are more days than 12 tho
I'm an electrician. Yeah, if you cut any live cable this way, and if the security system doesn't trip for some reason, you'll probably end up blinded by a fierce ball of light, and burned by melted copper or aluminum, and also eventually electrocuted. Fun times.
Jesus... Those first two were pretty neat, and more goofy or satirical than scary (in my opinion), but that third one actually fucked me up, ngl. I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack during the buildup to the rock's reveal.
Not Jack telling me "creatures of the night are lurking" after I had to pause mid-episode to bang on my windows and door, late at night, just to scare off a javelina eating my mom's bird seed and plants. I'm well aware of what's lurking out there, Jack - a desert pig with an appetite for everything my mother loves. She's still mourning her succulents. RIP.
Javelinas are the WORST, and they're working with the coyotes!! Little buggers swept through my garden through a hole the coyotes dug up in the fencing just this week.
YO DO YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA TOO?? YOU NEVER KNOW TRUE SADNESS UNTIL YOURE A KID AND YOUR HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN YOU SPENT SO LONG CARVING GETS EATEN BY THE GD JAVELINA
I love the little details of the goodbye note! Nothing is ever explicitly said during the entire lab segment, you're left to put the pieces together yourself! You never interacted with the real linda, as shown by her car being clawed and her glasses sitting broken under the seat. You walk in on her "checking the vents" while in reality she was putting the wind up toy inside to provoke you into going to check the clean room. Such awesome storytelling!!
I'm surprised that Seán didn't notice that the ghost/monster had an eyepatch just like the former nanny. The photo in the dad's office had a lipstick kiss on it, suggesting that the dad and nanny had an affair. Something must've happened and the nanny was murdered, but isn't "dead". The Ouija board spelled "I'm not" as in "I'm not dead". The nanny came back to claim the kids.
@@AstarionWifey probably tbh, or maybe they just had an affair and she was too attached to the kids, but i think she threatened the dad that she would tell ppl about them and thats why he killed her
Yeah and also how it straight up murdered both Veronica and Mrs. Jordan, who I believe take care of the kids from time to time, or atleast Veronica does, but the creature turns the kids into the art on the rock like it was a weird family photo
my guess is the previous Nanny had an affair with the father. The mother found out, murdered her, and threw her into the lake. And now the Nanny is back to take the children. Either out of revenge towards the mother. Or because Oliver, or both of them, are actually her own children, born from the affair with the Dad. The latter option also would explain why the parents leave the children alone a lot, and under the care of another Nanny. The mother doesn't consider them her own children. Or might even hate them.
Talk about top notch usage of the pixel art medium. Especially with how they managed to give it that old school black & white CRT TV vibe and effect for the first section. Love to see it. 👌👌
Me and my son (who's medically fragile) love watching your videos! When we saw Thomas on oxygen I cried! I'm so glad these developers of this game made some sort of awareness of what some of these kids go through. It's sad and hard to deal with. Just wanted to point it out 🙂
Be careful everyone, if you get injured and knocked out, and if sean sees you, say goodbye to your wallet, shoes, and life, because hes taking them all.
I have a theory about what happened in the last game. I think finding the picture of Miss Marques along with condoms is kinda weird, as well as it having an achievement called, "dad's secret". Why would those be in the same spot? Maybe their dad was having an affair with their old nanny and murdered her so his family wouldn't find out. That would explain the police cars outside her home when she "moved to Colorado". Then she came back from the dead and took his kids away from him as a final act of revenge. Hmmmm.
Game: *shows the wing of the plane in the storm* Me: "There's...something on the wing, some...THING" Jack not five seconds later: "There's...something on the wing, some...THING"
I have not been so freaked out by a game in a while. The first 2 storys were interested but the final one really made me feel uneasy, the amazing pixle style made the creature feel even more creepy somehow. And the rock at the end, jesus christ that is amazing
Oh my god I thought that narrator voice was a part of the game until Jack said something! This dude is an amazing voice actor! And he’s not even a professional one!
I figured Linda out the moment she randomly ran into the "Clean Room" behind the scientist. Not to mention her car having signs of a struggle didn't make sense if the creature had killed her in the lab, and her insistence that he open the vault. There's also the obvious fact that she was messing with the vents while something was found thrown into the vent. The third story I had figured out except that the dad had an affair with the nanny, thus providing her motive for reclaiming her children. I wasn't sure it was the nanny behind it all until I saw the eyepatch when she grabbed Oliver.
jack, sarcastically: nothing bad has ever happened to a kid who ate chocolate that he found in the forest! also jack, genuinely: EAT IT. EAT THE GROUND CHOCOLATE.
@@gojirabh9383 it's pretty typical for people on youtube to quote parts of the video they found funny in the comments. i'm sorry you don't appreciate that, but i liked mentioning it.
I cant believe Jack was actually right in the 3d chapter, It actually was the nanny! also, if you don't know how it's the nanny, look at the jumpscare at the end, it had an eyepatch, long hair, and looked to be a zombie...
Damn I got actual goosebumps when they revealed the rock, I figured it was the Nanny, but it hadn't occured to me that she was taking the kids to join her on the rock, just chills.
I like how you can see the improvements with each chapter. My fave was deff the last one. To me it has the most solid story to it and kept things ambiguous but still gives you almost all the answers to your questions
While the game itself does look absolutely impressive and really unique, Jack’s commentary manages to make the playthrough a lot more entertaining than it should have.
@@macieharris1382 its inspired by, not a spin off. not the same thing. and everything is inspired by something. even shakespeares work was inspired by previous stories. that doesn't make it not original lmfao.
this was a real treat. you really see the storytelling and horror elements get stronger with each version. absolutely awesome, hats off to this developer. guess i'll have to buy this!
I think the correct solution to the code is use the code that corresponds to the date in the game. Near Richard's desk there's a calendar and on the list of codes the symbol above the numbers looks like a calendar.
25:09 Was I the only person that got this immediately when I saw the notepad? The tiny calendar symbol as you said corresponds with the date but as there were only 12 combinations and the date was the 9th of October then the code corresponds to months of the year.
this video was a delicious treat. i adore the old school point-and-click style combined with simple, but spooky midi soundtracks, and "the nanny" had strong, memorable characters for such a short play time. also it reminded me of goosebumps, which was a huge bonus because i grew up on those books as well as the tv show.
that last story is literally the reason I stopped babysitting. I would get so overwhelmed at the idea of being the figure of authority, not to mention all the shit that goes bump in the night. I legit screamed when the rock was lit up and I saw the kids there
This last story was brilliant, dont know if anyone noticed or already sayed this, but here is my interpretation of that story: The dad hat an affaire with Mis Marquez, she herself got really attached to the kids because of sayed affaire, Mom found out and killed her in cold blood, which is why she came back and took the kids!
I think the dad killed her. Remember right before Oliver discovers the picture in his dad's office he briefly wonders whether or not his dad had every killed anybody. He may have been referring to war, but it's a good story telling tactic to kind of hint at what happened in that way. Perhaps Miss Marquez was going to confess or something.
If the dad didn't kill her -as suggested- I would say suicide - maybe from keeping the secret. When Oliver mentions her death it seems more like a suicide than a murder. Plus why kill Thomas's mom? She's relatively innocent in all of this as far as we know - but there is a hint that the doctor information Mr. Jordan got was that Thomas wasn't his son and killed himself over it. Thus maybe the babysitter killed Mrs. Jordan for betraying her husband? Or -based on how it looked- it's another suicide as a result of an affair. It really doesn't make sense why Mrs. Jordan was murdered since she seems to have had nothing to do with any of this - but it's an interesting tidbit that Thomas said his dad got information from the doctor and just shut down and cried and cut them off. When Oliver tells Thomas "Your dad loved you" - Thomas says "I don't know" which might suggest that the coldness from his dad wasn't like from getting a serious medical diagnosis of his own [i.e cancer or big like that] - chances are we find out Thomas isn't Mr. Jordan's son. Sadly without seeing anything of his dad, we can't go "Well mom is blonde and Thomas's hair matches Tina's so their dad was REALLY getting around". But the "Dad's Secret" achievement mixed with condoms and the picture of the nanny holding the new born Oliver [why isn't that the mom holding her baby] seems to suggest the rest of what is said here.
I hope the developer makes more midnight scene episodes, and I really want one about the kids again On another note, the theory about the dad possibly sleeping around with the first babysitter and doing it again but with Veronica ; the kids mention that her "boyfriend" snuck over the fence and that she didn't know how to use the oars What if the dead nanny disguised herself as the dad and lured Veronica into the forest to kill her? Oliver mention that Veronica looked confused...
The last game really reminded me of Mandela catalogue 😂😂 mostly bc of Tina playing with the same doll and calling him the doppelganger and also "her" appearing in the forest with Oliver even tho she's been at the campfire with Veronica the whole time. As well as Thomas's mom being dead in the bathroom. Its really cool honestly. The concept freaks me out a lot, but it's still a really cool concept for a horror.
"You're about to enter... the Twilight Zone." "You're about to enter... the Scary Door." "You're about to enter... the Midnight Scenes." "You're about to enter... the Twilightober Zone." I'mma about to enter... a deep thought wondering what Rod Serling would think of the amount of parodies there are, while watching Jacksepticeye's video because it's awesome.
The 3rd episode was definitely my favorite, but the 1st one still intrigued me the most! We went through the story piecing things together as we go along, but the ambiguity of it still had me thinking about it for a long time, as goes for the other episodes too.
this was so incredibly fucking good! It was like watching an episode of a horror show. I don't really have words for how amazing this actually was. I definitely need to support this person.
I’ve seen the developer’s art before from their RU-vid channel/prints they sell, and LOVED their style. When I saw the first scene with Claire, I instantly knew whose art I was looking at and almost screamed lol
Jack narrating the eye was amazing voice acting! It felt like it he was in a old radio broadcast full of mystery. He definitely needs to get a major voice acting role.
I know it's a game and all but God damn the arrow password would be a great way to have your lab broken into, it looks like each arrow can only be used once meaning there's only 24 possibly combinations, or if repitions are possible that's still only like 256 combinations I think
The plank without the nail just falling off the tree to the ground made me laugh so hard :D I don't know what I expected to happen it just was so funny
The one thing that impresses me about Jacksepticeye is that he gives his all. In everything he does. Thank you, Sean, you indeed are a fantastic human being. Thank You for existing at a time we can all share together :) Stay epic!
much respect for you saying "help these creators out". I have a steam library full of horror games I have never played but bought after watching the playthrough just because I want to keep seeing these creators getting better and putting more stuff out. Got make sure they are funded for all the hours of entertainment they give us.
I feel old saying this: point and click games with pixelated art and MIDI music (is that what you call it?) take me back to when I grew up playing games like Monkey Island, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Octavi Navarro has done an awesome job with creating these genuinely creepy Midnight Scenes games, and Seán's voice acting was so good as usual.
One of my absolute favorite things about doing something else while watching this is a chunk of it is similar to a podcast - except a podcast that Jack sometimes words things too well so I have to backtrack to see "did the person really just say that" bc it blends too damn well
As a person named Oliver, it was honestly really nice to hear Sean say my name so many times! Made it feel like we connected for a moment. Thanks for the awesome play through :3
The storytelling in this was incredible! That game dev has perfected the endings with the second and third episodes, and the fact Jack gets so into it helps me get that much more into it myself lmao
I always loved watching The Twilight Zone, glad to see its aesthetics inspire someone today still. Thanks, Octavi! Thanks, Sean! Upd: Sean clearly watched Ace Ventura recently
The 2nd plane one, the few moments reminded me of the episode that occurred in a plane with Willam Shatner where our main “hero” spotted a creature walking on the wing attempting to sabotage the engine.
Hi, electrical apprentice here, if you see a downed power poll call your local police station and DO NOT go anywhere near it. if it falls on your car while you are in it do not try to get out, just call 911 (unless your car is on fire then try to get out, but as you do so don't touch any metallic part of your car and the ground at the same time)
That last one had an ending I always hated. Those endings that fill your heat with a void because it's never resolved and just stays on your mind for a long time.
i accidentally fell asleep watching this video and i just woke up at the end of it from the worst nightmares i could have ever had. i am now in my corner bed, farthest i could ever be from my edges of my bed with chills everywhere. i have fallen asleep to many scary videos before on accident and NEVER had a reaction like this. now THAT is how you know a game is GOOD!!
That fist story reminds me a bit of those old movies..."Escape to Witch Mountain" and "Village of the Damned". Spooky kids doing spooky stuff with their spooky powers of spookery.
I wouldn't consider Escape to Witch Mountain spooky lol. Also these games are very much in the vein of "The Twilight Zone" hence the William Shatner quote about something on the wing in the second one.
This game is absolutely insane. I managed to feel like a kid again watching the Twilight Zone or the Night Gallery. Especially the second episode. Reminded me so much of “Nightmare at 20,000 feet”.
I was definitely feeling the twilight zone vibes in the second game. I honestly expected to see a gorilla creature messing with the wing of the plane when he looked outside
At the start of the video it was so quiet that my Opera GX browser music started to play and it only plays when no tabs make noise that's how quiet the start was.
