It's great to see nexpo and Nick create something that they're known for, but letting smaller channels take the reins of the deep dive and investigation
dude, ur insane. the quality of your videos keep getting better & better, wouldnt be surprised to see you hit 100k before the end of the year. keep the grind up!!! it'll pay off so so soon 🙏
Hey man, found your content a little while ago and I've been hooked. I don't comment much, it's never really been my thing. But I want to say how impressed I am by your quality and consistency. I look forward to seeing your account grow and seeing you gain a large fanbase. Keep up the amazing content:))
i think this could be really good but the fact it is called liminal land is a little too on the nose for me. like it removes all potential horror of the unknown, like the intentions of the park, etc. i’m taken out of the horror whenever i see them say liminal because it’s feels like it’s legit just pointing out exactly what the want to spook you, which doesn’t leave much to the imagination (where so much of the horror of liminal spaces comes from)
Funnily enough, I think if they called it Limen Land (like Sofia’s daughter misspelled), it would do better to feel like an actual place that could feasibly exist.
@@Gamegobazooka yeah that’s so true. like they could have done something less “look its liminal space horror” while still incorporating the word “liminal” by using some synonym to it
Personally I'm kinda tired of how souless the story feels at times. From anomalies to glitched faces, it gets pretty old quick. The concept of the people wanting to go into a ride and then constantly repeat it is interesting, but the rest of it feels very underwhelming.
@@StrangeStorylines It's very much a paint by numbers ARG. It doesn't feel like there's any heart to it - like they've pumped all recent ARGs into it and then ended up with this
@@StrangeStorylines 100% true. it all feels like someone got access to an ai image generator and just pumped out the images. at least other analog horror series have actual art or even props made by the creator… meaning some effort was put in.
when i found ur channel i was surprised that you didnt reach 100k already the quality alone speaks for how good ur content is. great work man i hope you nothing but success
Reminds me of the time I went to Lotte World, South Korea. There was a section that felt strange simply because there weren't a lot of people there aside from my family.
not sure how or where you got the information in the video but if it's one of the master docs made by folks looking into it. Depending on which one you used, the doc you used might have been the master doc I originally made a few years ago and let the fan-ran liminal land discord server manage since at the time I was still in community college and needed to focus on college to make sure I would pass.
Subbed, I love liminal and anolog horror anyway but I also like you're style and delivery. No point to this comment really just wanted to engage the algorithm as much as possible lol
I adore your work and I'm glad you put a video out on this. I didn't want to watch it because I can't support AI, so at least I can give someone else the views
I dunno why but I expected something better from Nexpo. It’s kinda meh. In your face with it all. Little subtlety. Hell the name is Liminal Land. Come on. Do better
It's a bunch of VERY old analogue horror tropes, wrapped around - wait for it... MOLOCH. Seriously - I guess the dev crew are HUGE fans of Alex Jones. Perhaps this is all around some "bohemian grove" BS...
what? These stories are buried all over the world with little to no explanation other than mythology. What does Alex Jones have to do with anything? The fact that you immediately go to some random person to discredit the lore of what’s being told here says a lot about you. You’re one of those people who just regurgitate what you’re told to say without ever actually reading anything or trying to understand why we have these mythical stories. “oh this is just right-wing craziness “ … like what?
@@blumrich1970 lol is that where you learned of moloch? Lol I get you know. You see moloch or ba’al worship and think of Alex Jones. Just enjoy the pretty sights and smile.
I've seen the Liminal Land series, and I don't think anyone's made this connection, but there's an avant-garde silent film from the 1920s called "Metropolis." It's very critical of capitalism and how it kills more people than it helps with the factory as the place setting. One of the most significant and disturbing scenes in the movie is when the factory is revealed to be an alter to Moloch, continuously fed victims of factory accidents in the name of profit. Moloch is portrayed as a god of success, prosperity, and human progress that requires human sacrifice in order to for the sacrificers to maintain that wealth. I don't know if Nick or Nexpo have seen the film and drew inspiration from it, but the parallels between the stories makes me believe they did.
I am _so here_ for the "Liminal Land is a modernized adaptation of Metropolis" idea! Also, thanks for the unintended reminder that I need to go watch Metropolis.
As a New Mexico native, I can say that putting the park in Lake Valley is so weird because to call it a "bump in the road town" would be putting it *mildly* to say the least. It's sat between Deming and Hillsboro and even then you'd have to be going *that specific route* to even pass it, since it's at least twenty to thirty minutes away from every other major road.
The AI generated photos aren't working in this ARG's favor. I think the person making them needs to practice precise prompts about things like better faces & not hiding arms so it can work in their favor instead of taking you out of the moment with how off they look.
I had no idea liminal land tied into the backrooms. And it does the backrooms right. There’s a very heavy sense of exploration and the fear of the unknown. It’s not “creepy party goer omg!!” It does everything in a very clever way. I also love your content man. Don’t ever stop you’ll have your huge break through soon enough I can feel it.
Places like this that have access to the public would have entire homeless cities inside just like the catacombs, and people would continue to live inside even after these sites being closed down.
Perfect amount of imagination vs. knowledge. Even w/o research, it is a wonderful idea of historical psychological horror...I've an abnormal obsession with history and psychology. Basically, I will enjoy this and spread the story...I am noticing it spread vey fast as it is!
I love creepy amusement parks but this feels more like imitation than inspiration. Each piece has a clear analogue (pun intended) to an existing project. I appreciate that so many references were chained together but it still feels off to copy so much. Thanks for covering it Virtual Carbon.
If anyone's getting too spooked to enjoy this and has decided to hide in the comments, just remember: "Charon" in its original Greek is pronounced along the lines of "Care-on", which sounds kind of like the name "Karen" but if it was for a robot. Pause, and take a moment to enjoy the absurd mental image of a robotic Karen complaining to some poor, underpaid Liminal Land staff member about overpriced amusement park popcorn that it can't even eat anyway because robots can't eat.
Naming the park "Liminal Land" and setting it in the 80s is a fascinating study on current trends and interests. Right now we love retro aesthetics (back in The Good Old Days when we maybe could have felt safe and happy) and oddly-familiar everyplaces full of deja vu (if we're going to feel weird we want to be able to do it on purpose). While philosophers and designers have been discussing "liminal" and "non" places for decades, it wasn't so much a popular interest in decades past. The pop culture of the 80s was more drawn to big, loud, or unapologetically weird adventures. Think "Action Park" (and for the purposes of this video, all its controversies). If Nexpo and Nick Crowley were aiming for period authenticity, they would have decided the park was named "The Everything Park" or something like that. By naming it "Liminal Land", it distinctly brands the park as a 21st century imagination set within the late 20th century. An incongruity. Something that feels just a little off. An alternate history that doesn't just ask "what if the past was different", it asks "what if we had the present but in the past". I could really get into that kind of a thing.
I love nicks channel, i love nexpo, and their channels brought me to your channel, and now I'm addicted. I don't have a problem tho, i can stop watching whenever i want. I just don't want to.
What completely uninspired garbage this is, liminal land I mean. Every single name is so incredibly on the nose and unsubtle, any kind of spookiness that exists is entirely generated by this so clearly AI generated art that any sense of immersion is just gone. The fact that this is made by two well-known horror RU-vidrs really shows that sometimes your skills just don't translate to entirely different parts of storytelling. Just because you're good at creating RU-vid videos about other people's art doesn't mean you can make good art, it's not that you can't it's just that there's no relationship in my mind between those two things. They like, many other creators, will have to go through the process of learning these entirely new skills. so I understand that it's a first effort and hopefully they will learn from this and make better projects in the future. Hopefully they hire real artists, especially when they have the financial means to do so and the connections to find really talented people. That's probably the most egregious part of this whole thing.
Do you believe videos like this? Do you find yourself loosing sleep over racing thoughts of evil? My name is Corey. I’ve developed a cure for anyone’s addiction to bullshit. I guarantee with my variety of interactive experiences, you will be able to watch videos, know how to break them down, do the leg work to yourself which is just one key part of getting to it feet grounded back on the ground. Together we will walk through the video, conductin fan basic research, and even go as far as to relicate and produce your own piece of creepy pasta. It’s what they are all already doing, but I’ve volunteered to stay a meme, believed to be a believer so I can assist those who believe and shouldn’t. Let me Shepard you back to reality.
I shouldn't have started watching this at 4:30am because it makes me scared of sleeping. I end up being afraid of the nightmares I could end up having.
Wow, this is so disappointing to learn that Nexpo and Nick Crowley support AI-generated images. Also some of the footage of the amusement park rides was stolen from another art project. Awful.
I think Nick and Ryan killed it with Liminal Land. It’s a whole site of new analog horror. It a beautiful price of work and I highly encourage everyone to go check it out!
