THE CRAZIEST INDIE GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. | The Heilwald Loophole (Full Game) 

1:14:44 That girl in the iron lung is the coworker of Helene. Helene said her coworker disappeared. She was put in that machine because she started to question.

the docter said "IM TAKING YOUR LIVER", then when you run away he says "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!!" like he didn't just say that.

1:14:16 this actually literally made me tear up. She knows she scared you and she's sorry. That is absolutely HEART RENCHING dude

I think what I like the most was that while you have scary horrifying things, there were actually normal or peaceful beings. Like, the nice normal nurse didn't die, become extremely twisted and disgusting or anything. She was just... there, still trying to help the patients, she was just a normal person. It's a nice sense of relief and brings a bit of humanity compared to most games that just sends the player on a super lonely and depressing journey where all the allies dies or are screwed up in some sort of way

That encounter with the girl in the iron lung(who I'm assuming is Astrid, considering the context) really blows. It felt like a swift strike to the heart, considering how fast most of us probably immediately thought to 'run from this monster'. Honestly, probably the best encounter in the game when it comes to making you feel empathetic towards a character.

I like that this horror story doesn't paint everyone as absolutely evil, they're humans who've been manipulated (through chemicals or something? the only hint we have as to what is that it's through ventilation shafts) and thus they still act human in a lot of fashions. The shock therapy nurse was kind once, and only uses it to help remove the pain while the one in the sick bay was just tired and pissed and the final nurse (although crushing the protagonist's jaw and teeth) was just doing her test and left us alone as soon as she was done. The chef guy just seems to want his personal space (and I can't imagine what having a soup pot body is like???) and the guy in the showers seems to be fine too. The only truly bad person seems to be Dr. Randolph for even doing whatever it was he did to harm them. Obviously, they still all act very strange and harm the player in various ways even when not killing the player, but they obviously didn't act like this before as the ominous voice informs us (as well as the riddle talking about broken oaths, these people clearly took those oaths with all the good intentions, and it was only the Dr. that led to the downfall of the place)

Dr Randolph is the only true villain in this story, he did everything, everybody else had a reason to do something, such as stealing something from them, even the scariest monster is this game is the kindest, giving you your required item simply because you needed it and couldn’t get to it, and when it realised it scared you it cried.

Abandoned hospitals were always creepy to begin with, and a basically dilapidated hospital run by humans turned into monsters (with a few exceptions) definitely cranks up the creepiness by quite a bit.

I'm assuming the "Ominous Voice" was Friedrich Erlenmeyer, who most likely despised Dr. Randolph's practices as much as Nurse Astrid did. The way he speaks so ill of Randolph, the way he claims to be against the Heilwald Klinikum, and also to follow the sort of effect that all of these workers at the Heilwald Klinikum have been mangled and malformed into grotesque and unrecognizable beings far from human (of course, men like Dr. Randolph himself up until the end, the muscled aquatherapist Wolfram and the mild mannered librarian Hauser are exceptions as they are the most normal people in appearance but definitely not in personality, as Wolfram stabs you with a syringe if you dare flee and Hauser will smash you into the Library if you dare steal).

1:21:13 this was by far probably the most terrifying moment in the entire game especially with the quick flashes of your mouth contorting and collapsing

Thought at first "Heilwald Loophole" referred to Dr. Randolph's golden rule, "No one dies at Heilwald," as he said right after that they should always provide "a better, or at the very least, a different option."

I'm German and I actually understood some of the distorted things they said, for example the nurse at 17:23 said "Kommen Sie sofort zurück" which means "get back RIGHT NOW" and that sounded so disturbing omg

There’s a cool game out there called “it steals”. It has kinda the same art style as the heilwald loophole. Though it is a lot of fun, it’s not a particularly long game.If you have time, please check it out Ryan.

Fleisch is German for "Flesh; Meat." And Suppe is German for "Soup." So, the Birthday Patient meant "Meat Soup." They were having Meat Soup.

I absolutely loved this game, glad you enjoyed! ^_^

Wolfram’s music is incredibly weird. It isn’t nearly as distorted as Randolph’s or the sick ward nurse’s music, but it’s still weirdly unsettling. It’s also kinda a vibe.

This game is so great glad Ryan is playing it and glad it’s getting the Recognition it deserves.

Finally 8-bit Ryan checks out this fantastic game.

14:10 The character's reaction to the bathroom was HILARIOUS LOL

I love the longer, less, edited content because I always know he chose a game that deserves this much dedicated time

Whats even worse about the person in the iron lung is that she doesnt need it and shes been put in there unproperly, heck, her arm is where her head is supposed to be and her legs are sticking out of the machine

I remember seeing the demo for this game ages and ages ago, or at least the first two levels (Dr. Randolph's Office and the Sickward), I started watching and I was reminded of the demo, not knowing this was the game, and when I saw the Dr. leading you to his office, I knew this was the game I had seen ages and ages ago. I was always curious if this game was cancelled or just slipped under my radar. I always loved the concept this game gave, not even the timeloops (as cool as they are), but the "you have to follow/stick close to an NPC or they go crazy and aggressive" type deal, I can't really remember a game that's done that recently, it's really cool. Really glad you played this game, it's a real gem

Actually seeing Ryan trying to pronounce German words makes me laugh (I'm German myself that's why it's so funny)

The concept and execution of this game is so well done. I love every terrifying bit of this game!

This game has such a creepy atmosphere. These indie games are the biggest surprises when it comes to quality

the game is just amaizing, the unique characters, good story, very good style , and even a monster that is not a monster actually (the iron lung girl), but still the best are the so unique characters. Even dying to an enemy is worth it. like damm top tier game thats sure

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints! ❤

I really enjoyed Ryan playing the game! Especially as a german Ryans pronunciation of german words and names and also the reference of the complex german trash system were really funny. Thank you Ryan!

I’m so glad you took a break so that you’d be able to finish playing the game. Although it may have been frustrating to play, it was very entertaining and a total trip to watch. I really enjoy these longer, less edited playthroughs of yours.

what if nurse anne relies on the genertor so when shes shocked evry once in a while her heart keeps beating?

Tbh this wasn’t to confusing to be unplayable or unfun...this game follows the “won’t hold your hand” Philosophy. This is art in my opinion and deserves great praise. Not Telling information or where to go next isn’t a game flaw if done right and I think this game does it right.

58:51 "This is kinda easy actually-" *dies instantly*

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the marble statue of the unidentified man was Hippocrates, and the different numbered statements were aspects of the Hippocratic Oath, which is what was meant when the Ominous Voice said that he was the judge, contrasting the actions of the doctors and caregivers to the aspects of the oath.

Ryan: time for a longer, "less edited" episode Also Ryan:

This game is definitely inspired by amnesia. The loading screens, the matches, the puzzles, etc. I really enjoyed watching this video.

28:25 so are we just going to ignore that the man wasn’t even sitting on the chair 🤨

Ngl, this is the most terrifying game I've ever seen Everything in this game is terrible in most genius way

When Ryan makes less edited videos u know it’s gonna be a banger

Do you know whats the best? A longer less edited video + ice cream + biscuit that makes the ice cream taste much better

Damn this was a great game, i hope it gets recognised more

I love what Ryan has done and is doing it makes my day to whatch a Ryan video it is just so fun and funny to whatch you are doing a great job Ryan.

this game looks cool and i like the fact it doesn't hold your hand and tell you what you have to do while guiding you through the game. most games tell you what your doing or what to do and don't let you figure it out.

Trash collector is a legend nobody can change my mind.

*I want another game from them, they ideas of monsters was so cool and creepy*

Game has the word LOOP in it Ryan: It was so unclear how did I miss that? 😂 love moments like these

I used to hate longer less edited videos from other RU-vidrs because the commentary wasnt the best, however from ryan he keeps it fun all the way thru

The story is amazing. Despote it being convluded and confusing at first, as you explore the loophole you learn more and more and more about the characters affected. Though there is a pretty obscene ending, still hits hard as a whole

19:37 No She Not Cleaning dishes, she was typing on a computer

Hey Ryan, I really love your content man, like daily quoting from you. I mean you're so inspiring and easily one of my top 10 favorite RU-vidrs! You make me happy with each upload honestly and I love all your videos from 3RG or longer less edited videos, you're hilarious and have such an amazing personality, love you man. Keep doing what you do :)

Excited and looking forward to watch this long video man

i really and honestly dont understand how other youtubers havent played this and that there isnt any community for it, and/or any lore theories/explanations. :\

Keep the good content Ryan!

Your content has been peak recently, I remember back 5-6 years ago watching you when i was just a kid and this reminds me so much of it. Keep it up and thanks for the memories.

you guys may think that the trashman is living the worse life possible, HES NOT hes just living his best life- since its always raining he doesnt have to smell the other trash around and hes constantly getting showered, this "trash" is actaully fast food because the fast food they dont use they throw away in the garbage, so he be eatin burger king, mcdonalds, wendys and everything good, he also has a bunch of newspapers and mattresses to sleep on so yea

I can't believe how many hours Ryan spends for us to be entertained. Thank you Ryan!

“The Heilwald Klinikum says goodbye to Fredrick. LMAO.” 5:26

watched through the entire video and loved it

This game will never get old, even on rewatch

Ryan keeps it up with the horror games love the games 😂

Nurse Helene and Mr. Trash Collector and Ms. Iron Lung are my favorite characters yet.

"She's washin up" Uh Ryan, those are computers, not sinks.

2:24 me absolutely destroying the taco bell bathroom while the employee sent to check on me listens completely hornswaggled

I was wondering when a big RU-vidr would finally find this masterpiece. Looks like it's finally happened.

My most fave less edited, watched it time and time again. Good job Ryan

man I feel bad for the iron lung person, she just wants give us the medicine instead we avoid her and she apologized for scaring us even though it wasn't intentional

tbh "unsere heutigen geburtstagskinder" means our weekly birthday kids i think seeing ppl suffer with german language gives me some kind of joy like im not just a guy who knows nothing about anything

I love these longer videos, and Ryan’s idea of less editing is my idea of a lot, I hope some day I can get on his skill level of editing I swear

I love it when I come home from a long day from something and when I go to get food from myself and see an hour long video from Ryan, I know my day is gonna be a lot better

„I‘m now going to remove your liver.“ will be my new favorite saying cause that’s just too funny

11:35 "they need to get a janitor, thats one place this thing needs"

Mouth open? Check. Head to the side? Check. Look of fear on Ryan's face? Check. A look on what horror game we are playing? Check. Yeah im pretty sure thats most ryan thumbnails in a nutshell

ryan started the vid with the usual longer, non-edited video intro where he says "so go get your popcorn and drinks" so i did just that. a crepe or two, a couple of drinks, and my second time watching this. here's to a happy re-viewing (not reviewing lol)

again this person drops a masterpiece at 11:11 exact ;)

I can't even imagine what crap those nurses and workers went through when they just wanted peace and to help the sick patients. The only sane ones seem to have been tortured the most seeing their co-workers go insane and unrecognizable due to what i believe is the corks. The corks seem to be housing some kind of thing or item, maybe that is where the steam is coming from? This game is the best horror game I have ever seen. The plot-twists, the suspense, the slowly being driven to madness. All those factors make this the greatest horror game I have seen by far. The plot thickens and stays pretty consistent throughout. Having to experience this must be absolute torture. Imagine being a patient there, they all looked like they were being forced alive in immense pain and constantly reaching for help, never to recieve it, only cruel methods.

I'd love to see him playing Alice Madness Returns, its a fantasy horror action game. Its very good but underrated.

this was probably the most interesting and unique horror game I've ever seen and honestly? I can easily consider this one of the best horror games I've ever seen... little to no obnoxious jumpscares and quite the intriguing storyline

I love it how ryan tries to speak german. Its hilarious 🤣

Maybe the "loophole" is that because nobody dies at the clinic, they try and make them grotesque monsters to keep them alive

Ryan giving us quality content per usual.

"Can you find Gregory?" Me: kk bro i got you ill just go from this game to security breach

Despite most of this game being wonderfully surreal, there are no lies detected from 1:03:55 to 1:04:33, and then from 1:05:39 to 1:05:48 That's as real as can be.

so since the ominous voice brings up Astrid right after 1:14:16, would that possibly be a hint that the woman in that iron lung IS Astrid

I go through so much just to watch him play, by that I mean surviving heartattacks

Fun Fact, this game references Hippocrates and the Hippocratic Oath a lot!

What?

Dr Randolph: "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Me: "Away from you, Dr Creep!"

Hi

This is the most unsettling horror game I've ever seen. And the most interesting as well.

I watch this every once in a while and even fall asleep to it. Such a fun game!!!

This reminds me of the whole "no one dies at disney" phrase

Dude, you should totally play the game "Iron Lung" it's amazingly terrifying

Fun fact it takes around 500 lb of pressure to crush a human skull so his jaw would have been absolutely annihilated...😂

I know this will probably go under the radar, but theres this incredibly fun game that just released called Shotgun King that I really think Ryan would be into (if he knows the basic rules of chess at least) the premise is basically this: It's essentially chess, but you have a shotgun. Its that simple! And its really really fun and short. Each round you win you can get a powerup and a debuff and it really makes each game/round feel unique

*NPC are always like IM GONNA GET YA, then moments later they’re like WHERE ARE YOU*

the electroshock ward lady sounded like an electro giant

Been suggesting this for months so glad you finally played it!

This is definitely one of my new fav horror games. I don’t like watching long gameplays, but I couldn’t stop watching this one.

these long videos are super entertaining, just causally watching them while sitting back with some snacks is genuinely a great feeling. Great video 👍

These longer videos make me so happy and I can see they make you happy as well!!! Keep up the amazing work!!
