L is real 2401 technically wasn’t a hoax, it was a misreading of the nonsense text on a fountain which led to many theories. 24 years and 1 month after Mario 64s release, files have been leaked from the game which show scrapped luigi assets.
One correct on OneShot's original version - From what I understand, it wasn't that you had to finish the game in one sitting, but rather you had to find a bed to be able to safely close the game without getting locked out The modern version lets you close the game wherever without this penalty now, though Niko will still acknowledge if you didn't find a bed first when you open the game back up and say "hey maybe you _shouldn't_ do that?"
I remember that the game originally only let you get to the ending once, with the second version letting you do a bit of 4th wall breaking file stuff to see everything?
@@_-insertname-_ depends on what you consider the first version, in the original i think yeah but im not sure i've never seen it and as such i dont even know if it already had an ending. The steam version no. You could always do the fourth wall breaking stuff to replay, in an update it just added the so called "solstice" run.
BIG one shot fan here, in the original version there *were* beds, but they closed your game i think, also,, in the "new" version (if you can call it that anymore) If you close the game, Niko just says that "everything went black for a second". Now the beds only give some lore when you reopen the game.
As someone who used to read creepypastas constantly I believe the characters claiming they're god is inspired by a specific creepypasta titled The Expressionless. Which had the line "I AM GOD" be the scary punchline. As someone who has read creepypastas a lot, there is a lot of inspiration (plagiarism) that these mostly teenaged kids took to incorporate into their own stories.
I think Polybius might've been inspired by an old game called "Cube Quest", which made use of surreal video footage and neon-colored polygons in a shoot-em-up format. The video was rendered with a laserdisc, which was very prone to breaking, meaning that the mechanics would have to take away the machine for repairs, possibly explaining the "men in black".
I remember hearing that Petscop was actually a game being made by the creators of the webseries, but was/is being repurposed for the sake of their analog horror series/ARG. Though, as of yet, the game itself has yet to be released.
Not sure if some other info had come out, but as far as I know, it technically was a real game... Made specifically for creating footage for the series. It's been stated that it's janky and only really good for making said footage, so there haven't been any plans to release it.
This video covers my favourite aspect and I love it! So well edited, excellent humour and great explanation about non-existed games. The last segment about "Sad Satan", where you talked about "Petscop" reminded me about "Catastrophe crow" or how people call it, "Crow 64". It's an interesting ARG about a lost Nintendo 64 game, created by Adam Butcher. If you never heard or saw it, I totally recommend you to do so. I appreciate your videos and hope to see that channel grow with more amazing videos and tons of subscribers.
If you ever do a part 2, here are some that I can think of: Mad (Commodore 64): A bunch of .sid files from Adam Gilmore have been found, presumably for a game called "Mad". However, there's nothing known about the game aside from that as no ROMs of it are known to exist on the internet. JimsToy's Atari 2600 games: Apparently some developer that made several Atari 2600 games. Only one game from the developer is known to exist, which is a tank game where you shoot enemies that look like manjis, but flipped a bit to represent German tanks. Aim Software: A company that released several games on the Atari 8-Bit computers, some of which are not known to actually exist Die Hard Trilogy (Sega Genesis/Sega 32X): Only mentioned on Mega Machines, with no proof of having actually existed. Married... With Children (NES): A supposed cancelled game based on the popular 80s sitcom that would've been made by Sharedata(the parent company of American Video Entertainment) & released in 1990. Rumor has it that the game might've not gotten past the initial stage(which would be kinda bizarre considering the game WAS announced, but who knows?). Lucky Star (Atari Lynx): Not to be confused with the anime, this was presumably going to be some bizarro platformer of sorts... maybe? Madden Football (Intellivision): If this game DID exist, then had it been released it would've been HISTORICAL. Rap Attack (SNES): A supposed shoot-em-up that was listed on a Chip & Bits advertisement in a May 1992 Gamepro issue. It might've either never saw a release or was unlicensed. Or an inside joke. Shadows of the Wind (Game Boy/Game Gear/MS-DOS/Sega Genesis): An alleged 1990s game planned for those systems & likely unrelated to the novel from 2001. There is legit no proof that it exists at all online.
Holy hell ya kept me stuck to the screen for 13 minutes LOL Also, PLEASE talk about PetScop in one of the following videos, i used to be so intrigued with it but at the same time being in the state of mind of like "what in the actual fuck is happening", so it's definitely a more interesting thing that i think could keep people stuck to the screen :) p.s. BANGER video
Polybius scared me so much when I first heard of it in 4th grade and oh my god the amount of time it took me to get over this fear is something I’m not willing to admit. Funnily enough- I think it’s really cool now.
Another creepypasta I really like that I think is somewhat adjacent to this is the Ed Kann rumor that was, for a time, attached to Secret of Evermore, it’s a very interesting read.
To be fair, the L is real hoax DID actually become true, as luigi was found to originally be playable in SM64 in that Nintendo megaleak back in like 2020 or 2019
okay, so when you said "die from sound', I instantly recalled a strange thing. way back in time, there was a weird, overly descriptive section of a magazine, maybe gameinformer, going on about a chef game for the nes that was like mario, except with a billion ways to die, unique animations for each death, only 1 level, and supposedly killing the winner of said level. I can't find the article, which upsets me, because a lot of the ideas described were *fantastic* and would be realizable today. update SO, it turns out that the name of the chef game is hitlrr's revenge. no wonder I couldn't find this stupid thing for years on end. up 2 hoagie's revenge.
Misfortune was interesting to me, and still is since recently I've looked at sites like The Cutting Room Floor, and even watched Oddheader, which showed some interesting content that were either easter eggs or just flat out cut content. So in some way, it seems like it could be plausible, you know minus it actually causing harm, which is what I like from a good creepypasta, giving you just that little thought that maybe it could be true, even when you know it isn't.
There's a reasonable line linking Obscure Horror Corner as the person who made the game, as well as him possibly being arrested for certain stuff a couple years later. For some reason though, the mods for the Sad Satan subreddit don't want people talking about it as it 'has no evidence' or smthn. Iirc, what links them together are various accounts which go by sekebear or smthn. The person who posted the game to 4chan with the virus used this username. And then someone defending Obscure Horror Corner on reddit also used this username, conveniently going dead the same time Obscure Horror Corner did. Another account with the same name on youtube I believe uploaded a video years prior titled Sad Satan. There's some more information which indicates the person behind the yt channel sekebear(or whatever it was called) was arrested a couple years after Obscure Horror Corner went dead, which came from one of the videos the channel uploaded. The info in the virus game files indicated that Obscure Horror Corner made it, as they both used the same first name. And some more links I can't remember. For whatever reason, this and the Jeff the Killer image gives me chills.
As an additional thing that suggests OHC was the one who created the game: he did an interview with Kotaku at some point, which was then updated with a statement from him that he intentionally guided people away from downloading the game (something to do with providing a wrong web address) because of additional/worse content in the game that he cut out of his videos. Less than 20 minutes after the article was updated, the virus version was uploaded onto 4chan. The timing seems to point towards someone waiting for the article to be updated before posting it, and really only OHC and the Kotaku people would know about it being updated Edit: Oh, and another thing. There's currently a listing on Steam for Sad Satan, due to come out May this year, and the publisher is listed as Obscure Horror Corner.
@@shua_the_great the publisher, as I mentioned, is listed as Obscure Horror Corner, and the developer is listed as ZKloper. The latter has a RU-vid channel where they claim to be the creator of Sad Satan, and the only video on their channel is a trailer for the game (which I haven't watched so have no clue how similar it is to the version OHC uploaded videos about). The person who OHC claimed to have posted it on the Dark Web was someone who went by "ZK", so that'll be where that name comes from. When looking for a bit of further info, I cane across a thread on r/sadsatan, where the comments do believe it's someone simply trying to profit off the Sad Satan name
@@maxxie_the_queer Yeaah, I know who the person _claims_ to be, but I seriously doubt it's OHC. I just find it disturbing someone would try to profit off of smthn that awful, but that's some people ig. 🤷
@@shua_the_great yeah, it's super disturbing. and I agree it's incredibly unlikely to be OHC. Apparently (tho I'm not sure what the evidence for this is), ZK is in prison, and if OHC really is ZK, that means OHC is in prison, so there's no way it's him.
very nice seeing you cover creepy gaming type stuff. takes me back to the glory days of youtube edit: holyshit bro got the iced out brian griffin chain
Aw, no mention of Yeah Yeah Beebiss I? I guess it is about as insubstantial as Mario Galaxy 3... But I had never heard of most of these. Thanks for filling us in!
Little detail the copyright for polybius is 1981 sinneslöscher inc Sinneslöscher is german for "sense quencher" you know might be importand for the memory loss thing (Translation Tools were used)
12:22 on the contrary i Heard that was supposted be the original title vision of the game before was decided to made "for" as subtitle . And It was Heard was made by in house by the Nintendo Dev team Who made previously brawl. Probaly they saw an opportunity to collaborate with Namco to make the best experience for smash as to offer. And would meant have a lot cast of characters to be playable. Including Mew as example. Yeah It was strange hoax.
I feel like one of the biggest things that disproves Killswitch is that nobody ever copied the files from it after getting their hands on a copy of it. Especially if a game allegedly deletes itself when you die in it or finish playing it, you'd think someone would have tried copying the files for it to archive it as soon as they got their hands on a copy of it.
Seen most people playing the DX version of Misfortune (the RPG Maker one). Nobody mentioned the spot on version (with GB palettes). The game can be run on an GB emulator & pretends to be a Pokémon Red prototype
6:54 just rewatched an old German creepypasta video of this (by a youtuber called Kegy). At some point he talked about the music killing you and then immediately proceeded to play the music.
I love at 1:57 how i can see you have a Coraline also love the video it’s amazing just wanted to say I love your shirt That’s my favorite movie and that shirt brought back memories from childhood
I can make one argument for Polybius being plausible: Project MKUltra. That's a real thing that the US government did. If MKUltra could be a thing, so could Polybius... In theory.
Something about Misfortune is that I remember the story mentioning that since the game is hidden in others, it uses these games assets, explaininy why the devil from Sprout Adventure is there even tho i dont remember if that game was on the list the creepypasta said.
I feel like ive seen Killswitch. But I only remember the sprite of the girl and the floating eye/hand. I remember nothing else. Same with MisFortune, but I only remember the bat creature, the cliche creepypasta quote, and the room with four doors.
9:19 I had a friend a long time ago love this game and I was 9 at the time when I met them so I got curious and looked it up and yea…I now realize they are a little fucked up
The only reason i know about polybius (i thought it was pronounced poly-bliss tbh) is because of the game arcade spirits, i had no idea it was a "real" thing (as in, not just some idea made by the game devs)
I like your channel man, I definitely see the Scott The Woz influence, but I also like that you have your own spin and personality to your channel. I don't like that you play Roblox but I love your content. I'll just place my "I was here first" sign, take care and good luck with the uploads!
surprised you didnt talk about Luna Pálida. does it not count by your standards? cuz i dont remember the exact details or if it ever was a real game?? i think it was just a creepypasta.
Nee, polybius seems more plausible to me, based on the fact that its based on what happened with real games. Sad satar technically is real, since there is a version circulating on the internet, although as far as I know, it doesn't have all the weird pictures. That version is the one that may or may not exist.
