There's something down there. WAY down there... [Iron Lung] 

the people in the comments didnt even realize

@@moca6655 do they know?

thanks for the game.

its so beautiful

@Alpha Cipher Did you watch 'Sphere'? Gives the same vibes. You should check it out if you haven't before! If being trapped all alone deep underwater is your kinda thing. 😊

@@c0pperdaem0n Is it a movie or a series of some kind?

@@TheJasmine172 A 1998 psychological thriller 😊

@HolgerDanske14 yeah, you right

i agree. i get creeped out with silence, guessing, extra creeped when you are trapped in one place and water makes me fell extra trapped.

Claustrophobia together with a really creepy, dark and lonely premise, with the unsettling nature of an ocean of blood, what is in there and why. It's perfect horror, the kind that creeps in and stays with you rather than a big sound and ooga booga.

ambience is key. for example, in STALKER: shadow of chernobyl, lab x-18 was pretty scary for my first time through. even with decent body armor, an assault rifle, armor piercing ammo, explosives, and plenty of healing items, i was terrified at the notion of navigating the place.

@@bungiecrimes7247 Two seconds? You must not understand the premise of slow-burning, psychological horror.

@@bungiecrimes7247 You play games to complete them not to enjoy them.

Also a very weird setting. An ocean of blood, on a moon, in a universe where all stars have vanished.

@@christopherkovalcheck3964 What I want to know is, has it been confirmed that it is actually blood and how? The properties of blood would indicate it had to come from a living being/living beings, and where are they? Why is their blood make up an ocean? There are so many questions.

@@kvl2420 maybe it's the blood of the people killed by the creature?

@@kvl2420 its red

@@sean3578 How do we know it's blood and not red-pigmented halobacteria? "In 1980, after one such rainy winter, the normally dark blue Dead Sea turned red. Researchers from Hebrew University of Jerusalem found the Dead Sea to be teeming with an alga called Dunaliella. Dunaliella in turn nourished carotenoid-containing (red-pigmented) halobacteria, whose presence caused the color change."

The fishy a lil shy 👉👈

ah, a lovecraftian ^^

Same. There are so many horrors that could be hiding inside both.

Same here, I enjoy ancient ruins and horrors being found in sandy/snowy deserts too !

It perfectly blends fear of the unknown with claustrophobia... and even more fear of the unknown.

@@eadbert1935 Yep! I also found out that Lovecraft made a lot of things in his syories sea-related due to not liking the ocean and REALLY hating the smell of rotting fish and fish in general that he thought it is the worst thing....I kinda agree with him.

Yo, that's super creepy!

Yeah I don't know if I verbalized it or not, but I remember thinking I saw something in the first photo that wasn't in the second. cool!

I honestly thought there was some kind of religious twist, with the rapture concept and what it looks like a mortuary. It reminded me a lot of Yames' "Water Womb World". The big monster was cool but kinda disappointing :D

How on earth did you catch that omg

hee hee hee

Your pfp lmao 😂

@@Slushiii6804 oh shit lol that's funny

Spoiled it for me unfortunately

@@20motu08 Don't read the comments before you watch the video next time, haha

@@hannag4768 It was that comment that RU-vid pins right under the video for me; it's kinda hard to avoid when you aren't thinking about/expecting it.

@@Nathan-ff3it Then you need to get into the habit of not scrolling down before you finish a video.

@@Lucifronz The comment is pinned such that it is always visible on mobile devices, Einstein.

And don't forget the fact that underwater there is limited space and little exits which makes you just run around stuck.. isolated

You should watch Leviathan, pretty good deep sea horror movie

The game prey on the claustrophobia, fear of the ocean because you know you’re just an expendable pawn so nothing is built to protect you from said threats.

so much that could go wrong and so little solutions to these problems. once something does go wrong, you're as good as dead

That and the fact that this game is very triggering for those who have either thalassophobia and/or claustrophobia

Heyyy love ya videos, Chris!

Loved your playthrough of this.

A prequel? Or a sequel maybeee.. Many convicts sent to their aquatic doom.

I'm glad I found your comment, your videos are great!!

Love your playthroughs, CJU! Been watching for a few years :)

"im dead 💀"

Nice catch!

Looking at the shape i THINK that was the giant fish at the end

Yeah creepy

Actually that was just a particle, there's no programmed face in thT building. But, that's the great thing about the camera being so blurry. It adds to the scare factor since you're seeing shapes where there are nonem

i've been debugging the game, theres no scripted function for a human face and i couldnt find anything in the files, creepy

With me, I was looking onto the panel, and I noticed the sub was getting brighter... Then I turn around and there was fire!

And when he tells the fire to “STOP IT. nooo stopp. NOOO DUDEE!” OMGG 😭😭

such a genuine reaction ahahhaha

@Mittens calling them monsters is a bit too much. They’re living creatures, just like you and I.

cang imagine how scary we would look to them. Fleshy creatures with long fingers and arms and weird faces lmao

@@roccoon9892 I think a lot of deep-sea creatures are cool, but they can definitely be pretty monstrous. I don't think they really mind what we call them either

It's mostly because they have to adapt to the high pressure and lack of light down there. There's a lot of really neat stuff down there though! Scientists discover new deep sea creatures every couple of years, and there's a lot of them we've known about for awhile yet still don't know too much about, like colossal squids and stuff.

There's no light down there, so looking pretty isn't a concern.

What else are you going to do all day?

what licorice said. they probably weren't expecting answers, they just wanted to look for...something. humans are obsessed with exploring and observing and documenting the universe. if it was dying, i'm sure the last thing humanity would do would be to ship some guy off to go check out the last crevices they could, more out of a stubborn undying habit to seek hope rather than out of any real belief that it would be found

Same. It's very intriguing. Part of me wants to know more, but also part of me wants it to be done right there. No answers, only questions. The mystery is a huge part of what makes it so exciting.

You should see the game "presentable liberty" it kinda gives the same vibes. In the game you are apparently stuck in a "prison cell" (much like the iron lung in this game) and all of humanity is dying slowely to a virus where people are dropping left and right, your only form of contact to the outside world are letters being sent to you by a few individuals of different situations.

Spoilers! We don’t get any answers.

@@astick5147 omg i remember that game! it was so well done

How the fuck did you put that little guy in your comment

There's a lot of parallels. An iron lung is just like the sub, you're trapped in, you can never leave. It's small, cramped, limited visibility. The entire game is an analogy to being stuck in an iron lung in an abandoned hospital, waiting for your oxygen to run out, wondering what happened to everyone. You start to hear noises, wondering what's going on around you. Maybe an animal wanders by, sniffing around but you can't see it because your head doesn't turn far enough to look down.

@@JoeTAC Except for the animal part, your comment actually makes perfect sense. This is a great explanation! The sea monster could also be death coming for you or something.

@@csongorkakuk5871 I'm imagining like this long abandoned hospital, where the glass doors are shattered and stray animals just wander in and out in search of shelter and food. Of course, the man in the iron lung can't know that, and can't turn to see the animals walking around near the floor, he can only hear them moving around the hospital or his iron lung. Kind of like John can hear something around the sub, but can never catch it on camera - until that one part.

@@JoeTAC I also think of it as symbolic of how the expeditions in search of hope are essentially mankind trying to forcibly survive in a universe that has died. All the life-giving sources of energy are gone, and like a body without lungs, our species is living on borrowed time.

You could also think of it as a reference to how lungs provide oxygen to blood cells during circulation, since blood does have iron in it.

Long time no see, Jon. Hope you're doing well! Much love.

I hope you are doing well bro

I'm assuming it was called the iron lung because it's essentially breathing (lung) under blood (blood containing iron)

@@TheR41ku The shape of the sub also resembles an actual iron lung machine.

i've extensively searched through the games code and could not find ANYTHING about a face being scripted to appear, or some kind of anomaly in the house. Creepy

i thought it was very telegraphed, but the scare worked on me anyway xD probably would've been worse if i hadn't expected it as much.

It seems to be the same thing that killed John at the end of the game as well if you compare the two

I often see your comments on this channel... You are such an incredibly sweet person... I wish there were more people in the world with such a friendly disposition. 💛💛

I think kimmy is annoying af

@@mmkorn22 Thank you :). I'm just very thankful that I found John's channel. I have a heavy depression and general anxiety/emetophobia, so I can't pay much attention to maaany stuff (I don't even watch cartoons anymore. Only animated movies and few ones) and John is the only one that makes me laugh and watch the entire video without having attention issues or lazyness. So when I'm feeling pretty down, I look for the funnier ones he has to cheer myself up or watch another channel I really love, about ragdoll cats. That's why I do it normally with the content creators I enjoy watching. Because they put so much effort and I would love for them to just receive sweet things for their hard work and make them feel as good as they make me feel ♥. Love out to your way too, hopefully! ❤️

It's not on earth tho.

Also it's not a sea, it's an ocean. The fourth one to appear.

@@smward87 I mean yeah but why is there an ocean of blood on some moon

@@goobermcnoober8140 That's why your character is sent there. To find out. Or to die. Either way it's a win. You're a prisoner so if you die, then execution successful. If you live and find something, then good job.

@@goobermcnoober8140 I get what you mean, why is there a ocean of red blood in an alien planet But then again, it's part of the fun of the mystery, maybe there's once a mass colony of humans lived there

Worse. Definitely worse. Not being able to see outside except in pictures is the worst part for me. Though, I'm not afraid of the ocean, exactly, I'm afraid of giant voids I can't pierce with my eyes. Because you can't see, you imagine so much worse out there. Just so happens there *is* something worse out there and you took a photo of its fucking eye and pissed it off.

I have it too and i just played it just to test myself lmao. I immediately came here to see if other people reacted to the experience in the same way i did and… they surprisingly did. This is such a creepy game that even people that don’t have thalassophobia get creeped out.

Someone went out of boundaries with this game and the monster does seem to not have skin (given, it looks goofy without the filter and the dev himself said he never thought of seeing the game like that, but who knows)

Moons have gravity as well.

@@Vulgarth1 I’m aware. My disbelief has more to do with the pool of *blood*

Update:. I just finished the game, scare the shit out of me. Worth it. Now I can watch the rest of the video.
