UNCOVER THE SECRETS | Layers of Fear 2 - Part 3 

And then Layers of Fear 2 joined the list of games Jack never finished... R.I.P.

First thought: Oh god what now? Second thought(after seeing thumbnail): OH GOD WHAT NOW?!

Dude it’s been all most a week please don’t quit on a good series like you you quit on the observer

39:30 Jack: Am I safe? *loud roaring, bones crunching, fire* Jack: Nope. Apparently not.

Where’s the next episode jack please don’t give up on the series

i cringed how could he call the wizard of oz the chocolate factory?? -brain for the scarecrow -heart for the tin man -strength for the lion and he went through the emerald city T_T

I know I shouldn’t be surprised that jack is a fan of “roots, bloody roots”... *but somehow I am.*

he protecc he attacc but most importantly, he needs to know if you have 90 minutes for the jse tour how did we get here

Anti's Back Back again Anti's back KILL a friend

just throwing out ideas but I think that you Play as James grown up. The way I see it, Lily was saying how her brother would be a great actor(in her ramble saying he could set hearts on fire and make thousands cry) and I think in the beginning your character said he doesn't like ships in a letter but he couldn't give up the part. And seeing young Lily and James are memories of when they were stowaways. but that's just a theory.

Ok so I think the little boy, Jimmy, is the actor - and the character we play as. He was silent and imaginative as a kid and because Lily taught him to cope with trauma (by destroying one character to make way for another) it actually made him a great actor as an adult. I think they either ran away from their abusive father or caused his death somehow and stowed away on a ship. The game doubles down on the pirate imagery because it's both the fantasy they played as children and the movie he's filming as an adult. Any other ideas?

Lily, James, creepy hedge maze that closes in on you when you try to leave. Coincidence? I think not!

JACK IM HAPPY FOR YOU THAT YOU ARE MAKING THESE CLASSIC VIDEOS THEY ARE ALWAYS THE BEST ONES 🙂👌👍

Really didn't know about the seashell thing and now my day IS RUINED

Me: Sees thumbnail Also me: *ANTI?!!*

That’s thumbnail looks like jack is looking in to my soul😳

Ouch; the little boy calling himself weak, useless, and better if he was never there hurts. Poor kid. Don't want any child to ever feel that way.

"lord of the rings fellow ship!" lol - thought that too XD

38:33 when Jackie boy saw his Septic Eye conveniently placed on a rock!

I just realized Lily & James (Layers of fear 2) Lily & James (Harry Potter) 😱

The little boy sounds like Hugo off of A Plague Tale Innocence. You should definitely do a video of you playing it.

The like button has been punched less than 3 minutes in for a Berenstain Bears reference immediately followed by a Sepultura reference. This is why I stay subscribed 😂😂😂

Damn I want him to finish this so bad. Also love that Tony Todd is doing the voice of The Director in this

*Uploaded a minute ago* Me: IM LATE HNNNNNG

I think the thing of the game is Jimmy is hiding from his abusive father that got rid of his older sister. The voices he hears is the memories of his sisters. It’s just a theory, but it makes sense, kinda.

The fact that Jack knows Sepultura is fucking amazing. He makes all his metal fans proud.

I think those kids are stowaways because they’re searching for food and running away from different voices. The older sister is trying to protect the younger sibling from knowing their actual situation so instead she turned it into a little game with pirates where the officers are the enemy pirates trying to take their gold and capture them. And they’re searching for more food acting like it’s a mission / treasure hunt running from there father but soemthing happened to him to make him change. It sounded like he was the man in the chair(edit I think you’re playing at the younger sibling) (edit 2 I’m guessing as I watch the video but maybe the mother died giving birth to the younger sibling and the dad has hatred blaming him for her death )

I love you so much jack I've been subscribed since 10k

That thumbnail is terrifying

Have a nice day you all are nice people 🙂 ( small youtuber trying to grow )😊

6:55 Jack: "I just wanted to see if I could pet the dog." My relationship with animals 😢

Sean: "Think I'm about to head into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory." Me: "...A sepia farmhouse that leads to a yellow path, where you find a brain in a pile of straw, a beast's paw next to a timid mannequin, and a metal man's heart, on the way to a green cityscape... I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

Please finish the game! It's so good!

Hey Jacksepticeye just a quick game I think should check out in VR it's called Zero calliber VR

Thanks jacksepticeye I was in a sad mood and you made me feel better

Loving that Sepultura reference XD Anyone down here that can give me any more recommendations, btw?

SIR PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER PART I WAS ACTUALLY SO INTO THIS PLEASE YOU CANT LEAVE US HANGING 😭

That moon thing with the spaceship in it (31:46) reminds me of one of George Melies first short films (a trip to the moon) maybe he is the like the director?

This was for sure the best act so far.

i loved this episode! it made SO much more sense than the last 2

lots of scenes from classic black and white movies and stage plays peppered through out this game

Ok so I know this video has been out for a while now but did anyone else notice that the house in this episode (the one where the player keeps going back with different keys) is/is very alike the house where the first game takes place?

Let’s go bro part 4

Much sad. Very irate. Tears and longing

Well we now know that: •The children's father is the director. •They're a poor family •The boy probably isn't alive anymore •Their mom died when he was born or on his birthday later in his life •The ship most likely caught on fire Have I missed anything? Anymore that need to be added to the list?

2:33 i appreciate the lost reference

You go creepy projection shadows, you teach Jack waters not a thing to be wastin! XD

So far i think the actor we heard about is James. And he and his sister fled their abusive Father who couldn't forgive the boy for "killing" his mother. I have no idea who is the player yet. Maybe James ended up completely loosing himself and killed his sister? I am pretty sure they jump around the timeline.

0:03 Me and the boys at 2AM Looking for BEANS! Sorry I had to.

Jack: *turns on water taps all game just to be ornery* 35:30 Game: Payback's a bitch.

im excited for the next part

This game is so confusing, first he was playing an actor working for a crazy director, then it showed two stowaway orphan kids running from a scary monster. Now he's playing as the boy interacting with his sister, and they have a father. Meanwhile theres no more mention of the actor or director! And what the hell is going on with the monster?!

31:55 omg it’s a reference to Le Voyage Dans La Lune!!!

Lily and James... where the Potterheads at?

so my theory is the children ran away from their father on the boat to america, and the young boy was bullied and hated by his father for 'killing' his wife in childbirth, the young boy after playing with his sister a lot met an american man who became his mentor and the kid grew up to become a famous actor and director who was haunted by his past. (i havent played the game, im just guessing)

Little girl: creepy pome Jack: I wonder what creature this belongs to...na Na na

Guess who’s back Back again Anti’s back Tell a friend

Jack, I know you say that this is the most confusing act when it kinda makes the most sense. And you missed the Wizard of Oz reference with the soup part.

“I’m going down in a hatch this time, John Locke would be proud” Cue me having to pause the video with laughter 😅🙈

Happened on this [I'm bad at paying attention] in April of 2021 -- Jaaack please finish I have to know the ending!!

Super stoked for the rest of this game!!!!!

I wonder if the claw, brain, and heart are a reference to The Wizard of Oz? EDIT: The scene around 31:45 seems like it is based on a part from the 1902 french movie A Trip To The Moon, also the scene of the guy in the wheelchair around 44:20 reminds me of the guy in the wheelchair from The Hills Have Eyes

GHIDORAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! But in this case DADDORAAAAAAAAHHHHH! (The boss fight)

31:40 'Easter Egg' Reference to the films called 'Trip to the Moon' and 'The Impossible Voyage', silent films from early 20th century. Creepy as fuck!

3:11 is it just me or does the background music sound a bit like the hunger games whistle thing

WE SET SAIL INTO THE WILD SEAS CAPTAIN

I appreciate that Sepultura reference

I think that the dad was abusive and neglected the kids. So like, they couldn't leave the house to get food or else they'd get beat, the dad never fed them and the part where you shot Lilly, I think the dad killed her and she's just a ghost that Jimmy sees to make him feel better. I don't know.

Hey, I love your videos. But, when you were in the rocket ship, the sun had one eye. The girl also explained how his dad was mean and the dialogue between Lily and the dad showed he was a dream crusher. Long story short, the one-eyed sun represented the dad and the ship was the adventures of the two children. Hope that helps!

watching Jacksepticeye layers of fear part 2 since I couldn't watch it when it first came out then find this video haha

2:50 EHHH FUCCKKKKK I DONT HEAr THE “OCEAN” I JUST HEAR A FOOKIN BEE BESIDE ME SKSK

WHERE IS THE NEXT PART JACK?

From Jack's tumblr responding to why he didn't finish the game: "It really didn’t capture my interest sadly. Some cool visuals but super bad pacing and lacklustre scares. I couldn’t bring myself to record more of it. I feel like if I’m not into it then it’ll make for crappy videos and I don’t want to finish it just for the sake of it. I wanna record fun stuff that I’m excited about and people are really into." rip but fair I guess

I know Jack doesn't seem to be loving the game, but I hope we do get a part 4!

Jack: turns on radio Jack 20 secs later: WHO TURNED ON THE RADIO? SHUT UP

6:11 *hears girl speak a creepy poem* Jack: That's very poetic.

1st thumbnail: Emo Jackaboy 2nd thumbnail: Scared Jackaboy 3rd thumbnail: Monster Jackaboy

Jack: and the music is so.... Me: silent Hill esc. Jack: silent Hill esc. Me: *surprised Pikachu face*

Maybe you play as James, just grown up and reliving his memories of when he and his sister were stowaways on a ship

"I feel like I'm stepping inside willy Wonka's chocolate factory." Me: *Looking at green structure replica* uh, Jack, that's the emerald city of Oz

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack, why didnt you get the Wizard Of Oz refrence? lion claw, tin man, scarecrow, emerald city, yellow brick road! Edit: please finish this series jackaboy😢

"It's been a hard day, dying over and over again." Me too, Jack.

So James and Lily were stowaways on a boat , escaping from their abusive father, who hates James for the death of his wife and who suffers from PTSD, James becomes an actor. So far I get it.

Alright Lily and James are two kids whose father runs or is employed at some sort of theatre. he's in charge of putting the movies in the projector. the kids like to sneak out and watch the movies he's playing, that's where they get their vivid imaginations and all their pirate stories. The kid's mother died giving birth to james, and now his father hates him and calls him useless because he thinks james took his wife away and only brought him misery. Lily is protective of her brother, but she tells him he needs to show his worth, because she thinks her mother gave up her life for him. james feels an immense amount of pressure because of what his father and sister tell him. he sometimes feels it would have been better if he wasn't born. lily is into acting, and she's taken on the role of the captain thanks to one of the movies her father played. she has james playing mr hardy. they were both big dreamers, and dreamed of escaping to a better life. lily thinks her brother has a lot of potential. sometimes lily has to hide her brother from their father because i think he was abusive. she would hide him in the dark, and he didn't like it, so she tried to explain that it could be what he made it. i think their father gets money from a relative, maybe their uncle, and that person feels that they are getting nothing in return for their help. the father is waiting for some sort of "lucky break" but he gets into gambling because he needs more money. he tried to gamble away a necklace that belonged to the mother at one point, one that lily had told james to watch over, but lily makes james get it back from him somehow. there is also one instance of the anniversary of the mother's death, where the father used all his money to buy flowers for her grave instead of a present for james' birthday. one day their father has a particularly bad episode, and lily decided to run away with james. she told him they were going on an adventure as the captain and mr hardy, and became stowaways on a ship that didn't tolerate stowaways. they lived underneath, with the cargo and animals, sneaking around trying to find food. there were a couple of times where one of the security men saw them, but they were never able to catch them due to being too scared to be alone in the dark of the cargo hold for some unknown reason. instead they just reported the sighting. at some point, the ship ran out of food, and the food lily and james had saved either went bad or was eaten by mice, which james blamed himself for because lily had trusted him to take care of the food. they're left trying to look for scraps. once, james almost takes a dead rat to eat, and lily makes him leave it. in what seem to be his own journal entries, james talks about the characters of the captain and mr hardy, lily and himself, and states he is a little envious of how brave lily is. but he admires her, and lily has promised to protect him. i think that's everything i've been able to piece together by watching! i do wish jack took some more time to listen to the dialogues, because he keeps saying he's confused and has no idea what's going on when really the story's been very clear so far in the dialogue.

As soon as I saw the deformed living room, I understood it was from the first part. Surprised that Sean didn't notice...

Wishing whoever is reading this an amazing day today. Be well and stay in touch ❤️❤️ -Josh Otusanya

me: increases the volume to hear the narrator narrator: roots. jack: *ROOOOOOTTTTTSSSS*

Maybe, its just me who’s noticing this because Im a film buff, but each act is referencing to a different genre of movie. Act 1 - The holes in the wall that had the Hotel from the Shining in it. Referencing Horror Act 2 - The mannequins and the machine referencing a movie called Metropolis which is considered one if the very first sci-fi movies. Referencing Sci-Fi Act 3 - The emerald city walk through referencing the Wizard of Oz and the rocket ride and the moon that was referencing A Trip to the Moon (an old fantasy film that broke boundaries during its time). Referencing Fantasy Also every time the colors change from black and white to color is how you can tell how old the movie the act is referring to is.

that whole freaky mouth segment REALLY gave me the impression that the kids' mum died giving birth to the younger child. "she gave everything for you" "prove it was worth it" "prove you weren't a mistake." Edit: a few clues in this video seem to point to this game taking place at some point after WW2, with the children's story possibly taking place during WW2 clues I found: at 31:45, a torpedo hits the face of the "something vicious" Lilly describes. To me, especially with the mention of it "eclipsing" the sun, creates moon symbolism. Meaning, a rocket/torpedo hit the face of the moon. This seems like a reference to the Georges Melies film "a trip to the moon" (for anyone who doesn't know, a rocket hits the eye of the man in the moon in this film, and this especially fits with the film motif) (and yes, I'm a huge nerd) Lilly mentioning "darkness falling across town", and seeing the stars as "a thousand souls on fire". could be a reference to blackouts and air-raids. Still just a theory, but I'll be so happy if this turns out right!

Okay but I need you to finish this series...please and thank you
