This Game Has The Best Story Ever 

The writers' strike has affected the gaming industry considerably

That opening monologue was some of the most well written, dreamy dialogue I’ve ever experienced

Charlie trying and failing to read the intro fast enough made me laugh so hard

I love how the level timer goes to the ten thousandth of a second just in case you wanted to be sure you had time

The amount of Narrative subtlety is paramount. The developer truly mastered the art of show don’t tell…

At 80 kg of pure muscle,Dr dan must've been an imposing 5'6. Truly a fearsome individual.

Dr Dan is my hero, he saved me on day I was hurt. His fitted muscles pulled me from bad place, truly great man!

This is a psychological-horror game, the real scary part is that you're playing an emotionless sociopath who is completely unresponsive to the death of a daughter

Thanks for streaming my game, it's a honor to have people making fun of this, the fact my game got attention no matter bad or good just motivates me to do better not to disappoint again, even I the dev of the game realised that at the end it did not come out as I had planned and hoped for players to turn a blind eye to it and just mess around with it for fun ❤

The text changing for every cutscene is a simple nod to the effort developers put into this game.

Dr. Dan had the best character arc. He gathered the courage to stop fearing his daughter. We should all take a lesson from his bravery.

9:01 "Bet he can't open doors." I genuinely got jumpscared by the fact that he reappeared as Charlie was looking around. I honestly didn't know what I was expecting at that point..

I'm convinced the man in the sewer at 15:17 was the Narrator, that's why his voice was reverbed and he cut himself off to say "Help!" This story is incredible

Dr. Dan's wife's note ending with a written "..." has the same energy as Monty Python and the writing in the cave in Holy Grail. "The legendary beast of ughhhhh" "why would he write ughhhhh?"

13:28 I lost it man, betty dying before giving the full code got me wheezing 😭

I love how the exposition had almost NO periods, just commas.

You know the game is going to be true horror when you can control the menu camera and they change the right click to pause to left click on the next screen.

At the end of the day, it's just a story. Masterpiece.

Dr Dan lost his PHD and regained it in the span of 3-4 sentences. That's gotta be some sort of record. Dr Dan is a Legend

Imagine putting the "Am Ready" button in the pause menu. Impeccable game design really.

My favorite thing about the notes is that she never actually finishes righting them instead she just ... and goes to the next note lol

Charile the type of dude to play a horror game for the comedy aspect

Finally, a worthy contender of The Last Hope for best narrative

10:45 I love how speechless Charlie was at the whale. All he could do was just shake his head

Dan had recently escaped an asylum, convincing himself that he himself is a doctor, and forever narrating himself in his own reality.

That entire opening narration was glorious. I haven't laughed that hard in ages. The inane story. The weird, almost mary-sue levels of describing Dr. Dan's appearance and mannerisms. The grammar mistakes. The fact that entire story boils down to a group of scientists bringing about the end of the world by bringing two "substances" together, just to be petty assholes to Dr. Dan who explicitly told them not to and the fact that Dr. Dan survived this whole thing because at some point before that, he injected himself with one of those dangerous substances and yet DIDN'T turn into a zombie himself. Truly a masterpiece of crap, I can't wait for part two.

I feel like this is what would happen if someone turned their dreams into a game

“She hit me with that Skibidi Toilet” made me actually laugh out loud

Mouse right click to pause is truly the scariest aspect of this game.

holy smokes this game is so unintentionally comedic

The story brought me to tears, it is undoubtedly the most astounding and rich piece of modern literature. If not that, then of all time.

Dr. Dan is such a complex character

This is like a nightmare that is trying it’s best to be a nightmare. As a new solo developer, this motivates me to be better.

The virgin "show don't tell" method: ❌ Boring ❌ Confusing ❌ Wastes time on "immersion" and "plot" (nerd mechanisms) ❌ Lame ❌ No one will know about your hero's fitted muscles The sigma "tell them everything" method: ✅ Better ✅ Easily understood and PLENTIFUL writing to generously aid the player ✅ Combines the video game and with reading (educational) ✅ Gets straight to killing vampires ✅ You have told them about the fitted muscles; they can now die happy.

there is no way im the only person that actually cried of laughter from this video lmfaoooo

I cried during this video. It was such a wave of emotions I even bust. Thank you, Its just a story - horror game.

Ok so people were mixing chemicals together which caused our dimension to collide with the cod zombies and other weird and mysterious dimensions. After regaining memories Dr Dan gives up all hope as he realized the world is doomed. But a badass character comes in and motivates him to continue living. So they get in a car and start driving but a meteorite strikes earth so the dr Dan must fight off the hordes of cod zombies, flying whales, and weird mysterious things from other dimensions. Truly a great story and I personally am hyped for part two

This game is like if Amnesia and Outlast had a child

Zombie said “sale” and I knew what time we were on lmao

16:30 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS KIDNAPPED ME LMFAO

thank god they explained dr dan had an 84kg body weight, fitted muscles, and a cold vibe. i thought this game was gonna be unplayable before they mentioned that.

The intro has the most extreme Neil Breen energy, I can't handle it. What a story.

18:30 there is so much to discuss 1. This springtrap thing holding a gun, what is that 2. right before the cutscene ended, the AI had a stroke for no reason 3. Charlie's reaction to all of this is so funny

The dan backstory slideshow made me remember my university lectures god damn my head hurts

The VA performances really sell this game in my opinion. The way they are completely immersed in their role is extremely impressive in all the best ways. I feel like they could make any game, story, or not just a story feel completely "true". They should be charging more for this game.

I love games that are made in English by people who clearly don't speak English. Because broken English is one of the funniest things to hear or see in a video game.

ChatGPT is getting so good that it's getting difficult to tell AI from someone with a language barrier using Google translate and text to speech

This story is phenomenal, truly one of the games of all time

15:07 I like to think the narrator is following the main character the whole way through the game telling the story lmao

Charlie saying "being chased by zombies, he got into a sewage system to avoid them" to mock the narrator cutting immediately to the narrator saying "he got into a sewage pipe to avoid them" was hilarious

This game is literally everything A book A survival horror A hide and seek A visual novel And maintenance man

with how long the opening exposition was i genuinely thought the game was JUST gonna be 1 zombie and then just an audiobook worth of lore

I’m convinced this is a comedy game and is pure satire. I lost it at 10:40 the whale just appears and moans

Dr. Dan being 185 pounds but still having "fitted muscles" is funny and odd at the same time.

Bro 🤣0:56 "left click to pause" is the most backwards game design idea I've ever seen

Some would call this "Steam dumpster-diving," but I would be more inclined on calling this "Picking up used gum off the side-walk to see if it has some flavour left in it." Not as catchy, sure, but describes these games a bit better. Charlie is such a hero for enduring all of this for our entertainment.

why they got a fully grown woman voice acting the daughter moaning and shit lmao

I am so happy we get more Bad Games Nights, i was tired of focusing only on the drama

11:39 "she hit me with that skibidi toilet, jesus this game is awesome" I DIED AHHAHSDHAUIKHASKDFJ

This was truly the most story of all time

Truly one of the stories I've listened to.

11:38 Hahahaha this HAS to be a comedy game cause wtf is this :D

You know it’s good when Charlie says it’s a good story.

Fun fact: the school you have to go in and save your daughter is the exact same school from another game in which you work as a night janitor while paranormal things happen, sadly i can't remember the name of that game.

This game was pure comedy when the swamp monster thing busted through the door i was laughing uncontrollably for a good 2 minutes

Charlie is type of person you want on a horror team

Kojima really outdid himself this time

This game would fall in the comedy category 😂

i find it so interesting that so many indie horror games cant find a font that would actually look good ingame

Not gonna lie, i can’t wait for part 2

Sick essay at the beginning. The plot twists many times within the same sentance, hollywood stuff.

Is part 2 out yet?!? This literally made me cry laughing all the time 🤣

This game is truly great, even good enough for district 8 hospital helper who single handidly carried the hunger games franchise on their back which is built like adonis the greek god, who if the said person was in a lat spread would look like a bat. Truly great.

Jesus that zombie jump scare through the door almost got me out of my chair

Explaining the note for the safe and how it’s safer that the daughter has it made a great deal of sense!

The opening monologue is amazing.

Ah yes the 1000 word essay being read by a TTS, my favourite part of any game

11:17 the burp was scarier than the whole game

8:48 Dude the glowing eyes are spooky and Damn the bug jumpscares.

3:58 truly appreciated the attention to detail with Mr./Dr. dan

Can't wait for part 2 of this masterpiece

Charlie trying and failing to read the text that was going too fast gave me so much anxiety lmao

This game feels like a device made by aliens in order to study the behaviors of those who play it, so then they can blend in and inflitrate mankind

She didn't just write those dots, she typed that message and printed it out. Even had a few sips of coffee before staging that note.

I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time, I had to go watch the twitch vod because this is so funny. Literally crying at this LMFAO

The whale just coming from the sky for a short moment with no context or relation to the game had me absolutely dead

The opening dialogue reads like what you get when you spam the next-word suggestions on your phone

The Room levels of writing and i love it

Such a beautiful story! Very well told, I will watch this again.

Easily one of the greatest works of horror in our generation, surpassing even the likes of Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft. An enigmatic and brilliant work from an even more brilliant creator.

I left to go grab some cereal during the monologue and forgot to pause the video and when I came back like 2 minutes later IT WAS STILL GOING

Charlie is my man dude, the fact that you're making an asmr vid themed with him blows my mind, it makes me happy

You know you are about to witness a masterpiece when game's called "It is just a story - horror game"

The fact Charlie mentions Harry Potter in most of his videos makes me feel like he’s a closeted Potter Head

The music playing during the exposition was fire

This is the greatest spooky game of all time

Charlie messing with the map reminds me of when you’d press on your eyes to see colours as a kid 😂😂😂

I love your content thank you for posting so often :)

“she hit me with that skibidi toilet” LMFAO

It feels like the whole game itself was AI generated.
