The Lost Fear 

Congrats to Markiplier for overcoming his fears of mannequins and gaining a fear of tables.

I love the fact that he played so many horror games that he litterally predicted about every jumpscare in the game and gets mad when they happen when he says dont do it 😂

Evidently, thirteen-year olds know how to scare the ever-loving crap out of everybody

13!? This kid is 13 and made this game in two weeks!? Wow! I do believe we have a future horror game creator on our hands. CAPCOM, snag this kid up!

HOLY SHIT! A 13 y.o did this in only 2 WEEKS!?!?! This was a pretty decent game

OMG! Thank you so much for playing my game! :D

One day Mark should have a heart rate monitor when he plays a horror game lmaoo

the violent scratching, lixian saying not to worry about it, and the DIRECT eye contact from Mark is a combination i never thought i'd see in my lifetime.

I like how the game hasn’t even started yet and markiplier’s already coming up with genius game design choices

I love how a tiny chair blocked Mark's way back. So tiny, so immovable.

I was a little critical of the game at first, but knowing that it’s made by someone at age 13 in 2 weeks completely changes my perspective on this. It’s far better than something I, an adult, could make in a year. I think they have a future in making games and I will watch their career with great interest

I like how the monster just scares you, puts you in another hallway, and then waits for the right moment to scare you again.

The tiny chair blocking your path to make you backtrack then moving to block your backtracking immediately afterward is a hilarious gag. It's very out of place in a horror game, but I think that's honestly part of what makes it work so well.

That 13y/o is absolutely gonna go places, i hope he keeps at horror games as he has a good sense for bamboozling/cornering the player. Plus mark was second guessing the jumpscares nonstop, thats good suspense Edit: wow 1k, thank you kindly, all you beautiful folk!

0:48 something about the idea of this is really funny to me beyond it being a good scary idea. I just imagine pressing start game and it does a dramatic camera pan into the character pov, never getting that monster out of sight, and at that point the panic I can see overcoming the player is truly the best thing to imagine.

Mark scratching himself while maintaining intense eye contact for 5 seconds was the best laugh I had this year!

Nobody is talking about Mark’s really smart idea for a beginning of a game. Making the Home Screen a part of it? That sounds awesome and would want me to keep playing.

Yo, for a 13 year old, this game is mighty impressive

For being made by a 13 year old this game hints at a lo of psychological things. Obviously the spaces getting tighter but also the gurneys, which in a way remind people the inevitability of death. These things may be things that were just picked up from playing other horror games but it's still really cool.

16:25 the Gurney's aren't scary so much as the association, you really only see those when someone is near death whether it's from sickness or injury, or to transport bodies. Seeing a room full of Gurneys makes your brain immediately associate that with 'death happens here'

“i don’t know where your ass starts and your head ends” - markiplier 2023

Mark needs to storyboard for a AAA horror game. The time has come.

i love when mark gets scared even when he knows he’s about to, and he just sits and stares for a second

Mark actually made me look up what the hell a 'credenza' was.

The fact that not only is the creator of this 13, but that they also made this in only 2 weeks is crazy! They've got a bright future in game design ahead of them, and I'd love to see what they can do with a longer project. Maybe take on Mark's challenge of making the start menu screen how the game starts. I also just realized that this kid was born the same year I dropped out of my game design course in college, and is making games that are on par with any my friends were making for school at the time. Don't mind me, I'll just be over here having a mid-life crisis...

Mark- “There should be a monster on the main menu and when you press play your immediately in there” Lixian- coming up with ideas for his next horror game for mark “Write that down write that down”

Is Mark an 80 year old grandma?? I love that credenza is in his vocabulary 😂

2:48" i dont know were your ass starts and your head ends "

Mark predicting the scares but still falling for em is PEAK content

Honestly, the idea of starting the game immediately from the title screen with the monster sounds like a really good way to do a prologue, that way it's like right into a Chase and you get that initial fear of a monster and then you start the real story. I really like to see a game do that

16:10 I mean...same applies about the mandatory wheel chair in a horror game. Also hats off to this boy, its impressive he made something like this at such age.

I miss seeing Lixian pop up in Mark's vids. Doesn't seem to happen as much these days. Lixian, ur my fav and I big preesh you! :3

1:35 Narrow passages similar to this were quite common in old manors and wealthy estates. They were used to allow servants to move around the building and go to and from various rooms or areas without travelling down the main hallways. These passages were quite extensive, even including secret stairs behind the larger, grander staircases used by the wealthy lords and ladies. This was all done so that the servants could perform their duties, while at the same time being as out of the way and out of sight as much as possible.

Lixian commenting about what Mark is scratching violently below the camera to then yelling "TELEPORT" straight after killed me 😂

Thankyou Mark for being unapologetically yourself. I don't expect you to see this, but I hope one day you will. This year has been the hardest of my life. I have watched your content for many years. Your videos, along with your podcast with Bob and Wade has given me sparks of joy amongst a lot of sadness and despair, so I thankyou, from the bottom of my heart, please do not stop being you. Thankyou for bringing a smile to my face, even in my bleakest moments 💕

15:00 My heart freaking shot out my ass. Damn!.

Mark: "still clown esque but... not as clown" Monster: *"and i took that personally"*

Mark knowing the jumpscares are going to happen and still getting scared is such a mood

Dude I’m 28 now and iv been watching you since I was 15 it’s been awhile so I came to check on the channel and you still crack me up man. Appreciate all the long years of content and dedication you always know how to put a smile on my face

You know when somebody has no shame and is a man when he violently scratches his balls on camera and keeps it in the video. Mark is a fucking legend and so essential to youtube XD

Is it just me or does Mark seem so much more refreshed and energetic now than any video in the last year?

At first I thought "ah this game is kinda stinky" but now with the context that it was made in 2 weeks by a 13 year old it's genuinely very impressive I hope he keeps up and makes something truly great

I’ve had a similar idea to what mark mentioned at the beginning of the video. It’s just an idea, though. I’m not a game developer. Anyway, I thought about a wakeup sequence where you calmly sit up in bed. It’s day outside and the sunshine hitting the white curtains on your windows lights your room up nicely. You take the covers off of you and slide over to the edge of the bed. You look to your left and see a bottle of pills and are prompted to take them. You pick up the bottle and suddenly, an explosion shatters the silence and sends you tumbling outside of your home on and onto the street a story below. Your head is spinning, your vision is blurry, and you’re injured, but you manage to catch a brief glimpse of the monster that did this. You see they are preparing to attack again. You muster up the strength to get up and a chase sequence begins. You run through the streets, only now realizing that the world has gone to hell. Abandoned cars, dead bodies, and debris from destroyed buildings crowd the street and cut off some paths. You narrowly avoid attack after attack before finding shelter in some creepy abandoned place. Maybe a sewer or an abandoned building. From this point forward, a more or less traditional horror experience can begin. I just thought this would be a different intro to horror games. Most horror games start off slow and slowly build tension. There’s nothing wrong with that approach but I think it would be cool to see something like this in a horror game.

mark is so calm in this video, almost look like he's tired or something (maybe because of his film)... honestly it was very soothing to watch, i love mark's calm voice sm

18:10 “Skrrr, newrrm” is such an inspirational saying. I am extremely moved.

Markiplier never fails to fill my inside

props to lixian as always, i could barely tell that marks screams were edited.

20:29 - Nah he said "that was perfect" 😂😂

Someone needs to make a whole game for him with just gurneys

17:44- "I'm struggling to see the purpose of this room." What, don't you have a corpse-grinder room in your home? What do you do with all your corpses otherwise?

Am I the only one at 14:11 who got a flashback to mark playing fnaf sister location with his whole “duh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh…ballora!… duh Nuh Nuh Nuh…. Don’t kill me!” ?

really liked the fact that the jumpscares were a heart beat eariler or later than what you would expect, making them much scarier

an hour or markiplier a day keeps the depression away

Mark confusing east and west truly makes my day 😆

16:03 "I cast a fireball at the darkness!" I wonder how many people got that reference.

15:30 "I'm too lazy to do that" says the man who motion tracked a blood splatter on Marks face

A flashlight that actually looks like it works like an actual flashlight, amazing

I love when Mark makes eye contact with me while scratching his “leg” for half an hour

12:00 so glad I'm not the only one who mixes up east and west constantly lol

"A credenza is a dining room sideboard or display cabinet, usually made of burnished and polished wood and decorated with marquetry. The top would often be made of marble, or another decorative liquid and heat-resistant stone. The credenza started as a rough table with a cloth draped over it."

I love the lixian bits, the interactions between those 2 goofballs brighten my day

Markiplier's slowly but surely getting sick of the modern horror game tropes, and it rocks.

A wise man once said, "Rust and concrete is my aesthetic".

0:45 That is an amazingly good idea. The monster on screen seems to be dead, but when you press start, the camera suddenly pans out as it comes to life, telling you to run. You have an entire chase sequence running through doors, evading obstacles, until it catches you and kills your character. Cue intro cinematic and enter main character's dialogue of how he is about to enter haunted setting.

I love how every single indie horror game that mark plays is listed as Five Nights at Freddy’s

i absolutely love how every indie horror game Mark plays is just labeled by youtube as FNAF in the description 😭😭😭

For those who dont know (had to Google it) a credenza is a dining room sideboard or display cabinet, usually made of burning and polished wood and decorated with marquetry. The top would often be made of marble, or another decorative liquid- and heat-resistant stone.

A credenza is a wide, low to the ground, shallow dining room sideboard with several storage cabinets, typically with no legs, and a polished top which can be used as a buffet table. In the Middle Ages, it was customary for members of noble families to have a servant taste their food before it was served to ensure it didn't contain poison. The tasting was done at a dining room sideboard buffet table. This table would eventually be referred to as the credenza, which is Italian for "confidence", as they wanted to be confident that they weren't being poisoned by their enemies.

11:05 Oh no the inevitable passage of time! It is what scares me the most!

Did Mark seriously just straight up, in timestamp 16:20, unironically go "And what's the deal with gurneys!?" like a freaking stand up comedian in a late night show in a restaurant in some pub's basement?

15:52 Mark morphing into Johnny Bravo momentarily really caught me off guard 😅

The walls are breathing mark. THEY’RE BREATHING.

the face of disappointment 💀💀 12:50

4:48 Jumpscare (woah!) 5:38 Mark finds a wheel 7:34 Jumpscare 2 (Oh No!) 12:52 Mark gets a little angry (he couldn't solve a puzzle) 13:18 Goes down a big tunnel (becomes smaller) 13:47 Clown room (idk) 14:24 A Goodie (a key) 14:36 Tadaa (there was no tadaa) 15:00 Clown room 2 (idek atp) 15:15 Markiplier in denial 16:09 Mark loves his gurneys 16:12 Mark doesn't get the point of the gurneys (i thought you liked gurneys.) 17:34 Mark enters the meat grinder. 19:19 Lixian advices you not to know what Markiplier is scratching. 20:31 Friendly little spider! (totally) 21:48 End (The creator is 13 and made the game in 2 weeks?!?!?)

14:11 This reminded me a little too much of Ballora’s room from Sister Location

8:05 the voice fading 😅🤣 that's so like "and a lil something for Markyyy"

Mark and Lixian has to be the most funniest editor friendship ever😂😂😂

This game does mood and setting very well. Its plagued by marketplace assets and poorly animated monsters, but the solo dev behind it has talent! Its very impressive.

petition to have lixian put random jump scares in to try and scare the viewer that doesn’t relate to the game. i’ve always thought that would be awesome and funny as hell

I'm getting serious PT vibes from the map layout at the beginning. wakes up in blank grey room and proceeds through a basic door through a long hallway with a sharp right turn. plus the looping.

"good JOG NOOOO" that vase will be missed, RIP vase 😔 3:58

this is nice. i got my blanket, hot cocoa, slice of pumpkin pie, and watching mark on my phone. perfect way to spend a chilly October afternoon.

4:03 R.I.P. jug, always remembered, never forgotten. ✊😔

This is actually mad impressive for 13 yrs old, kids gonna be a big time dev if he stays in this profession

IT is officially spooky season when mark plays two horrors in a row 😂

4:47 I dont care how cliche it is or how overused and lazy it is. These types of jumpscares always get me the most.

No idea if this is a thing already, but it's something I would like to see implemented for Mark. Can we get a heartbeat monitor on mark and just the number maybe on the screen somehow. I would love to authentically see the response to some horror stuff. Especially after how many games he has played like this. I bet he can stay pretty damn calm.

15:50 honestly the biggest scare in the video for me

11:35 I love how mark was so sure in his puzzle solving skills

the 9:08 jumpscare got me so bad i hit the space bar and paused even before mark reacted LMAO. didn't even mean to and now i'm just here putting my heart back into my chest rq before i continue.

This feels like a kid threw in a bunch of scary assets and tried to make a horror maze just like how I used to do that when I was a kid... but in Minecraft with my friends (Redstone blood and all that xD). Edit: Oh wait it was actually made by a kid LMFAO GOOD FOR THEM! They're gonna go places once they get the horror formula done!

19:22 WHAAAA

Love how every start of his video is aggressive♥️

1:00 Man, if I had *any* video game development experience at all, I would do that, Mark.

That title screen idea is PERFECT.

Can I just say, having Mark interact with Lixian and Just whack him around line a hackysack is THE shit

I love that at 5:44 Markiplier uses the words "turnymabobs" and "portcullis" in the same sentence

The game had some good moments, reminded me of some other fun horror games, but the developer at the end saying he was 13 was the biggest surprise in the game. Keep up the great work, hopefully Mark will play more games from you in the future.

10:37 Mark’s interior-designer side is showing…

even watching out for that first jump scare and knowing it was around the corner... i still screamed like a little girl. sigh. i am not proud of it.
