So this episode was way more scary than what I thought.
0:04
Cause last week you asked like,
0:06
oh, how are you feeling?
0:07
I'm like, oh, Outlast totally prepared me.
0:09
And I take those words back
0:11
because I screamed multiple times,
0:13
even though you warned me there was a jump scare.
0:16
I didn't know if your nerves of steel would last.
0:20
Things got crazy in this episode.
0:23
Speaking of, in this episode,
0:26
we hope that squirrels are nocturnal
0:28
cause we blame some creepy stuff on them.
0:31
I think we're starting to suspect
0:32
that the angry elk are behind everything.
0:36
And then things get a little dicey or they get diced.
0:41
Thank you for coming back for Replay Reviews,
0:44
Horror Month.
0:45
My name is Leah.
0:48
And my name is Cathy.
0:49
Ah!
0:51
We are two friends who are here to Replay Review
0:54
and analyze your favorite video games.
0:56
And since Cathy has never seen the games before,
0:59
it helps me view them through her fresh eyes.
1:02
Almost like I am discovering them again for the first time.
1:05
We're about to pay a similar experience for you.
1:08
Oh my God.
1:10
Do I sound like Dracula or just Italian?
1:14
He's not Italian.
1:17
All right, so we pick back up in chapter three, haunted.
1:21
It's now eight hours until dawn.
1:23
Chris, Ashley, and Josh use the spirit board.
1:27
And Chris says, Ashley, you're a recent convert.
1:30
Why don't you get us started?
1:33
And I'm thinking convert to what?
1:35
What has she converted to that makes it relevant
1:38
to operate a Ouija board?
1:40
I feel like anyone can do it.
1:43
I thought it was like, you just spit out a question
1:45
like anyone can ask a question.
1:48
Yeah, I don't understand the comment,
1:51
but the questions and answers we get in this session are,
1:54
is anyone there?
1:56
Help, how can we help you?
1:58
Warning, what are you warning us about?
2:01
Sister, who are we speaking to?
2:04
Hannah?
2:05
Yes.
2:06
And at this point, Chris says, if this is actually Hannah,
2:09
we can find out what happened that night.
2:12
And then when they ask who killed you,
2:13
it says the library.
2:15
Proof.
2:16
And then did you see the ghost in the background?
2:20
I thought I saw something,
2:21
but I wasn't sure what I was looking at.
2:24
Yeah, it's creepy.
2:26
It's like an anti-jump scare.
2:28
It's just kind of hanging out in the background.
2:31
But then the board shakes and jumps,
2:33
freaking them all out.
2:34
Josh gets pretty upset and walks off,
2:37
and then Chris and Ashley decide
2:38
that they should check the library.
2:41
I really don't understand why Josh isn't clarifying
2:44
what exactly they're sorry for.
2:47
I don't know.
2:48
I felt like Josh, his character fell flat right there.
2:51
Cause I don't think he knows
2:53
that his friends pulled the prank, right?
2:56
Oh, I thought he did know.
2:57
I assumed he knew.
2:59
I was assuming he's still in the dark about that.
3:03
And that's why he would be so open
3:04
to inviting all his friends back to the cabin.
3:07
And that's why I had my whole theory
3:08
about he's seeking revenge because maybe he knows
3:12
and he's pretending he doesn't know
3:13
and he's gonna see if his friends confess.
3:15
Okay.
3:17
But I don't know.
3:18
I don't see.
3:19
I will see.
3:21
Anything else on scene one?
3:23
I remember there was a jump scare.
3:24
Something got me.
3:26
It just screamed.
3:28
Not even six minutes in and you're screaming already.
3:33
So moving on to scene two,
3:34
we're back to Mike right where we left off
3:36
and he's looking for Jess.
3:38
Along the way he finds a danger totem
3:40
which shows a herd of elk.
3:44
I don't know what's with the elk in this game.
3:45
I don't know.
3:46
The elk for some reason also look like
3:48
there's some mystical creature,
3:50
like something from Harry Potter.
3:52
What is up?
3:53
Yeah, they're doing weird things to the elk in this game.
3:55
I don't know.
3:56
Yeah.
3:57
Yeah.
3:58
It's weird.
3:59
And this is only the,
4:00
I mean, we're gonna talk about elk a lot, I feel like,
4:02
in this episode.
4:03
Speaking of, not long after the danger totem,
4:07
Jess jumps out at Mike holding an elk head like a mask.
4:12
Where do you just find an elk head?
4:13
And how has she not creeped out that one is so readily
4:17
available to be holding up and scaring people with?
4:22
But also she filmed it,
4:23
so I guess that she learned nothing from last year.
4:26
She is going to get herself killed
4:28
if she keeps playing pranks like these.
4:30
It's gonna be the boy who cried while situation.
4:34
Mike says, if you send that to anyone,
4:36
I'm gonna kill you.
4:39
And she just ignores that comment.
4:42
It sounded a little too real.
4:44
That's what I thought.
4:45
And I think that that's why she's gonna get herself killed
4:48
if she doesn't realize that people are more dangerous
4:51
than what she thinks they are.
4:53
As they're walking away,
4:54
we see that they're being watched through that same vision
4:57
that we saw looking at Hannah and Beth.
4:59
So whatever was there a year ago is still here.
5:03
This is where we blame the squirrels,
5:05
even though it's the middle of the night.
5:07
They hear a weird noise, kind of like a screech, just as.
5:13
Was it someone screaming?
5:15
No, no, probably just a squirrel.
5:20
I don't know what kind of squirrels he's used to,
5:22
but squirrels for sure do not make that kind of noise
5:27
in the middle of the night that loud.
5:30
Absolutely not.
5:32
In a shed along the path, Mike finds an old mask,
5:35
which is a clue, and then scares Jess with it,
5:39
causing her to fall into the freezing creek.
5:42
The noise he makes when he scares her is so dumb.
5:47
It's like not, I'll pull it up.
5:50
I didn't think she would get scared
5:52
because it's such a dumb sound.
5:54
Ah!
5:56
There's something about the voice acting
5:59
or the writing in this game where,
6:01
like we had complaints about Detroit Become Human
6:03
because it seemed so bad,
6:05
but it's supposed to be bad in this game.
6:08
You know, just like campy horror, and it's delightful.
6:12
It helps enhance how stupid the characters are.
6:15
And how unserious they're being too.
6:19
So as they're walking through the snowy woods,
6:23
they hear the sound and it turns out to be an injured elk.
6:27
They could choose to either kill or comfort the elk,
6:30
and Mike chooses, or the wheel chooses Mike
6:33
to go and comfort the animal.
6:35
But then, randomly, something pulls the elk away,
6:40
or is it that the elk jumps away?
6:41
I can't even tell, but it happens so quickly.
6:44
I wrote, well, yeah, I wrote in my notes
6:47
that it gets swiftly yanked away.
6:51
That's a really good description.
6:53
Something pulls that thing.
6:55
Also, I need you to know that if you kill the elk,
6:59
he doesn't go about it as you would expect.
7:02
He grabs the antlers, and I guess because it's been slashed
7:08
so deeply, when he twists it, the head just comes off.
7:15
Oh my god, that's, so killing it,
7:17
I was thinking it would be like as a humane way
7:20
to let it stop suffering, not like yanking the head, what?
7:25
Not like, yeah, dismembering it,
7:27
which he doesn't expect it, but still.
7:30
But anyway, obviously they're terrified
7:32
and they start sprinting through the snow,
7:35
and we see the creepy vision again.
7:38
They do eventually make it into the cabin,
7:40
but of course Jess has to trip and fall.
7:42
And it takes her so long to get up,
7:45
but I'm glad the wheel maid might choose to grab the key,
7:49
because I mean, she could get up and walk in,
7:52
but she doesn't.
7:53
She's like, help me, but ma'am, just get up.
7:58
You have legs.
7:59
They do both, though, make it inside,
8:01
and they decide, you know, it must've just been a bear.
8:04
I'm sure it was just a bear.
8:06
They calm down a bit and start to settle in,
8:09
but Jess is pissed after being scared into the creek
8:12
and being left on the porch after tripping,
8:15
and the lack of power and heating in the cabin.
8:20
She's in a mood.
8:21
That's really nicely said about her.
8:23
I was like, when read the room,
8:28
that you almost got killed in this forest by God knows what,
8:34
and then you're complaining about
8:35
they're not being mood lighting.
8:38
But around the cabin, Mike finds a book
8:41
of Native American myths and legends,
8:43
and inside we see the same symbol
8:45
that we found in the mine.
8:47
And about it, the book says, it's a ward or spell
8:50
protecting against evil spirits.
8:52
I'm curious how much more we'll see it.
8:54
I hope it's not one of those things where it talks about it,
8:57
and then it never really gets incorporated
8:59
into the rest of the games.
9:01
He also finds a rifle that he points at Jess
9:04
before then looking down the barrel himself.
9:08
Their stupidity.
9:10
They're almost asking to be killed.
9:13
They are, and we find out later that that gun is loaded.
9:18
But then Jess soon realizes that she's lost her phone,
9:22
but they don't want to go out and looking for it
9:24
because they think that the bear is still out there.
9:29
After Mike is able to get the fire lit and all of Jess's
9:33
demands covered, he uses, she's still kind of pissed,
9:37
but he uses a line on her that's just bad
9:40
and says it's always worked before.
9:43
It's the same line that he used on Hannah
9:46
when they were pranking her.
9:48
He says, maybe we should start with a little, you know,
9:53
making out and see where it goes from there.
9:55
It's, he's a pig.
9:58
It's so bad, Kathy.
10:01
I feel like calling him a pig is insulting actual pigs
10:05
because he's terrible.
10:08
It's so bad.
10:09
And she was there too.
10:10
Like she, there's video proof of that's what he said.
10:13
Anyway, she's almost warmed up enough
10:15
but asks him to close the shutters.
10:18
And then you see the whatever mystery character
10:23
that has a red vision.
10:25
He just like sinks down.
10:26
So he hears things differently
10:28
and he also sees things differently.
10:30
And I don't know if it's a mask that he's wearing
10:33
or if he is some creature.
10:36
We don't know, but slowly that thing just sinks down
10:40
and why is it moving like that?
10:42
Yeah, I don't know.
10:43
We don't know what's going on
10:45
but something is definitely watching them.
10:48
And they're really unnatural looking makeout session
10:51
is interrupted by a crash in the cabin.
10:54
Upon investigation, they see that Jess's phone
10:57
has been thrown through the window.
10:59
The only person I can think of throwing the phone back in
11:02
is that red vision thing, but why throw it?
11:07
Like if you're scared,
11:08
like you could have chosen any other objects like a rock.
11:11
It didn't have to be your phone.
11:12
So is there a reason why you did that?
11:16
There's just something disturbing about something
11:18
like returning your lost object,
11:21
but in an aggressive way.
11:25
I don't know.
11:26
But Jess assumes that the gang is messing with them
11:30
and she's angry.
11:31
So storms outside to yell at them.
11:34
And we see that she is being watched.
11:36
And then she comes back inside
11:39
and is quickly snatched and pulled through the window.
11:42
I was shocked.
11:44
What do you think is happening?
11:46
I don't know.
11:47
That thing had hands, like with fingers.
11:50
And so unless it's just gloves
11:54
and just some prosthetic hand,
11:57
like it's not like it has elk paws or who's,
12:02
I don't know what that is.
12:04
It's one of those nocturnal squirrels.
12:06
Yeah.
12:07
I just don't know what to think that.
12:10
Yeah, she had it coming with attracting all that tension
12:13
like that when she was just screaming on the woods.
12:16
But still like the fact that it's so easily pulled her
12:20
through the windows, like that strength.
12:23
Yeah.
12:24
It's not a big window either.
12:25
Yeah.
12:27
Yeah.
12:28
Also at some point Mike says,
12:30
nothing is gonna come through that cabin door.
12:33
And he wasn't wrong, technically.
12:37
We're now back to Chris and Ashley
12:39
as they head to the library.
12:41
On the way Ashley notices a light coming from the basement
12:44
through a heat vent, which is a clue.
12:47
And Chris says the power's not even on.
12:50
Is there multiple sources of power
12:54
because you have nothing from like the top layer,
12:57
but then you have something from like the basement, I guess.
13:01
And then we also kind of coming from the guidance totem,
13:05
we know there's some kind of like an underground layer
13:08
with some water source near that water wheel.
13:11
So it almost feels like there's a whole other world
13:14
beneath the ground level that maybe that's where
13:16
that red vision creature thing is living.
13:21
In the library, books fly off the shelves at them,
13:23
revealing a hidden button.
13:25
And when pressed, a secret room opens up.
13:28
Inside they find a photo of Hannah and Beth
13:31
with a message on the back.
13:33
It says, I will take them and bleed them like pigs
13:36
and rip their soft white skin off.
13:39
16 years, 16 years I waited for pretty little Hannah and Beth.
13:44
Okay, what a creep.
13:45
So if they're 18 year olds when they died,
13:49
like around that age, because they're in high school,
13:51
that means this person has known them since they're two
13:54
and has been creeping on them.
13:56
And that is disturbing, A.
13:59
B is the way it contrasts between just wanting to kill them,
14:04
but then also describing their skin as like,
14:07
what did they call them?
14:08
Like pale white skin.
14:10
Soft.
14:12
And like a positive way, but then having such malicious
14:15
intentions for them is also really creepy.
14:20
And C, why is this person writing notes like that
14:24
on a picture and how did this get kept
14:27
from the Washington family?
14:29
And why is it in their library, in a secret room?
14:32
Yeah, how did they not know about this?
14:34
But I thought that this game came out in 2014,
14:36
but it's 2015, so they might be a little older, like 20.
14:41
Assuming they're in like not all the same exact age,
14:44
they're probably like 18 to 21.
14:47
Just correcting myself from last episode,
14:49
they could have another year or two on them.
14:52
Still too young to be creeping on them.
14:54
Oh yeah, well, shouldn't creep on anybody.
14:57
Yeah, that's true.
14:58
You definitely shouldn't want to rip their skin off
15:00
of anyone at any age.
15:04
They wisely decide that they need to go find Josh.
15:06
And as they're walking through the house,
15:08
doors open on their own, doors that were locked
15:11
are now unlocked.
15:12
But they decide to go through the door anyway.
15:14
They do find a letter from Melinda Washington
15:17
to the race and ethnicity department,
15:20
stating that she plans to make a donation.
15:22
And on the back is a handwritten note saying,
15:25
saw that crazy guy again, Thursday, 917 PM,
15:29
hanging around generator shed.
15:31
I'm gonna start keeping a record.
15:33
That might be our red vision, dude.
15:36
Our skin peeler.
15:38
That's so gross.
15:41
Our heavy breather.
15:43
What if the race and, what's it called?
15:47
The race and ethnicity department,
15:50
the people that they're representing said that,
15:53
oh, we need a sacrifice to smooth things out.
15:58
And they're like, just take our twin daughters.
16:00
Just an under the table sacrifice, off the record.
16:04
They chose that we will take a sacrifice of our choosing.
16:08
And that's your twin kids.
16:10
So as they're going further into the house
16:14
or to a different part of it,
16:15
they hear Josh behind closed doors.
16:18
And it sounds like he's screaming for help.
16:20
Ashley and Chris rush over,
16:23
only for Ashley to be pulled behind.
16:26
Yeah, she like opens it and peeks her head in
16:28
and then gets like yanked.
16:30
Yeah.
16:30
Yanked in and the door slams behind her.
16:32
And then Chris tries his best to break in.
16:35
And when he does, he is attacked by this clown thing.
16:40
Yeah.
16:41
I don't know.
16:42
We saw it in a totem at some point.
16:43
It's so freaky.
16:45
It's disturbing.
16:46
This is why people hate clowns.
16:48
One of many reasons why.
16:51
We see the creepy clown dragging Ashley away
16:53
and then lighting candles
16:55
and leaving balloons with arrows on them.
16:57
Clown has plans.
17:00
And why is it putting this whole theatric part of it?
17:03
Like if you want to kidnap Josh,
17:05
just chloroform him and then, right?
17:09
If you just want to kill them, just straight up kill them.
17:12
There's no need for all this.
17:14
Yeah.
17:15
But moving on to scene four,
17:17
quick session with Dr. Hill.
17:20
He says, I'm going to show you pictures
17:22
of people you've come to know.
17:24
Who is it that you most dislike?
17:26
And the wheel ends up choosing Chris.
17:29
How do you feel about that?
17:30
Do you agree is Chris,
17:31
your most disliked at this point?
17:33
For me personally, either Emily or Jess or Mike.
17:39
There's a video I forgot to pull up.
17:41
We missed the line.
17:43
It's so good if you pick Emily.
17:47
What Dr. Hill says in response is so funny.
17:49
So I need to find it.
17:51
A bit too bitchy for your taste.
17:54
They know Cathy.
17:56
They knew what they were doing.
17:59
They made her character like that.
18:00
She's so gonna hate on her.
18:02
But in this play through, obviously,
18:04
Chris is what we land on.
18:06
And Dr. Hill says,
18:08
I guess you think he's getting what he deserves.
18:10
You think the way you feel about him
18:11
justifies the terrible trauma that he will soon go through.
18:14
Now, why would you think that?
18:16
Kind of cryptic.
18:17
Yeah.
18:19
Also in Dr. Hill's office, I guess,
18:23
he has this weird creature looking thing
18:26
that just is standing there
18:27
and it looks like it's being strangled.
18:30
It's so creepy.
18:33
Keep tabs on it.
18:36
Chapter four, Malevolence, seven hours until dawn.
18:40
After Jess is snatched through the cabin window,
18:42
Mike grabs the rifle and a lantern and starts chasing her.
18:46
At one point, he uses a scope to spot Jess
18:49
and we see her crawling on her stomach
18:51
only to be dragged backwards by something
18:53
that Mike is not quick enough to scope.
18:55
At that point though,
18:56
if he knew something was dragging,
18:57
why not just move your scope a bit behind Jess
19:00
and just shoot?
19:01
Or at least get a look at whatever is attacking her.
19:05
He follows her screams to the mine
19:08
and eventually hears her phone still playing music.
19:11
Walking towards it, he soon finds Jess
19:13
when she falls down in front of him pretty clearly dead.
19:17
Do you agree?
19:18
Yeah, and it looks like her lower half of her face
19:20
has been ripped open.
19:22
Sure does.
19:24
The wheel wanted her dead so bad.
19:27
In order to save her,
19:27
you have to pick the quick options to get there
19:31
and the wheel chose the slow option every single time.
19:35
So it took like three times as long to get to her.
19:38
I wonder what her fate would be if you saved her.
19:41
Would she still be susceptible to death?
19:44
She falls down.
19:47
It's kind of left unknowing, like,
19:49
oh, did she survive or not?
19:50
She still falls, but her face isn't ripped off.
19:55
Mike reacts to something above him,
19:57
aims the rifle, and we see like a horizontal head.
20:01
And he takes a shot at it
20:03
and then for some reason climbs up after it.
20:06
And we see a man in a coat walking ahead of him.
20:09
What's going on?
20:11
But also, why is that guy so unafraid of being seen?
20:16
Like, if you killed someone, you would run away, right?
20:20
Yet he's so slow and confident
20:22
that nothing's gonna hurt him.
20:24
So why is he this confident?
20:26
It's kind of scary that he's that confident.
20:30
He continues to follow him anyway.
20:33
Outside the mines, Mike sees the man entering a huge building,
20:37
which I think we can assume at this point
20:39
is the sanatorium we've heard about.
20:42
I think it's a sanatorium, I agree with you.
20:44
I can't think of any other place.
20:47
Chris makes up on the floor.
20:49
Ashley's nowhere in sight, so he starts looking for her.
20:53
Along the way, he finds, and pause me
20:55
if there's any of this that you wanna talk about,
20:58
her coin purse, which is covered in blood,
21:01
blood spatters, and a crow.
21:04
More blood spatters, now outside,
21:06
and seemingly making a trail.
21:09
The jumpscare dummy, that one got you.
21:13
I think that was the one where, as soon as it happened,
21:15
I screamed, I hate you, Leah.
21:16
You're making me watch this.
21:19
See, I knew that that was a jumpscare,
21:21
but I thought it was something
21:22
that you had to press X to investigate.
21:25
So I wasn't expecting it either.
21:28
And then he finds a pig head, which that's a clue.
21:31
A death totem showing someone's legs flailing
21:34
while we hear odd screeching.
21:36
More blood trail, which leads to an outbuilding,
21:38
and we hear Ashley calling out for Chris.
21:40
I just am curious why Chris isn't dead right now.
21:46
I mean, they're all gonna die at some point, I assume.
21:50
But I'm wondering if, because we said
21:53
we disliked him the most at the Dr. Hill's office,
21:57
that's why we get to play him,
21:58
and he's not doing anything quite so dumb yet
22:01
to put himself into jeopardy.
22:04
Chris walks towards her voice to find her
22:05
and Josh tied up in another room.
22:08
There is a saw blade on a track,
22:11
and the track splits one to Josh and one to Ashley.
22:16
And then we hear the psycho's voice.
22:17
He tells Chris that he must decide who will live
22:20
and who will die, and at this point, the saw starts up.
22:23
I mean, here's the thing.
22:25
Until he makes a change to where the railroad tracks are,
22:29
saw blade isn't moving quite yet,
22:31
so he could've tried breaking in and saving both of them.
22:35
Yeah, I don't know if it does start moving eventually,
22:37
but I had the same thought.
22:39
Don't play this guy's game,
22:41
because then no matter who's left alive,
22:44
they can't blame you, you know?
22:47
Because you didn't make a choice.
22:48
So yeah, I think he should've been trying
22:49
to just find a way into the room, I agree.
22:53
The wheel chooses for him to save Josh,
22:55
but Chris pulls the lever the wrong way.
22:58
The instructions are unclear,
23:00
and he accidentally sends the saw to Josh,
23:03
who is cut in half.
23:05
If you chose to kill Josh,
23:06
would it accidentally go to Ashley?
23:10
Directions are unclear.
23:11
Okay.
23:12
That's what I'm gonna say.
23:16
How sick do you have to be to be totally okay
23:19
with creating something so gruesome
23:21
and putting it into a game, like sawing someone in half?
23:23
That's just, that's too much for me,
23:25
and I was saying that I'm fine with things not being gory,
23:29
and then this game takes a turn.
23:32
Little did you know.
23:34
And we're only part two into this game.
23:37
Okay, but their feet were not tied together,
23:40
and I feel like if they, you know,
23:41
had done a few more crunches in their life,
23:44
they maybe could've lifted their legs above the saw.
23:47
Might cut the bottom half of their cheeks, but.
23:52
Do your crunches.
23:54
Chris helps Ashley down,
23:55
and they start to walk back to the lodge
23:57
where they bump into Matt and Emily.
23:59
They get caught up on what's happened
24:01
and decide to find everyone and get some help.
24:05
I would never split apart at this point
24:07
if that's what happened.
24:09
I would be, my pants would be full of pee, full of poo.
24:13
I would've thrown up.
24:16
I'd be crying.
24:18
There would be no liquid left in my body within an hour.
24:21
First of all, I wouldn't even put myself
24:23
in this kind of position to be in the middle of nowhere.
24:26
I know.
24:27
I mean, it sounds fun.
24:28
If I had a friend whose parents owned an entire mountain,
24:31
I would definitely be up there.
24:33
But I would not play with the Ouija board.
24:37
And I wouldn't do it at night.
24:39
No.
24:40
The first thing that I would've said is,
24:41
let's get a fire going and the power on,
24:44
and let's make some drinks and some food.
24:48
Should we go back to Dr. Hill now?
24:49
That was a short chapter four.
24:52
So Dr. Hill asks,
24:54
is the night going the way that you hoped it would?
24:56
And our response is, it's going fine.
24:59
Dr. Hill says,
25:00
and do you think that these poor people
25:01
are getting what they deserve?
25:03
We say, who are you?
25:05
And he responds, I'm trying to help you.
25:08
I feel like Dr. Hill may be
25:12
like having a personality disorder,
25:14
and he is also the Red Vision person.
25:19
Like why is he alone in the middle of nowhere
25:21
with this practice?
25:22
His windows are boarded up.
25:24
Is he maybe practicing and like having this
25:28
whole therapy session at the sanatorium?
25:32
And then there's also that creature thing
25:33
that is now sitting around, I believe.
25:37
It's moved.
25:38
I think it has a saw blade in its head now.
25:41
Yeah, yeah.
25:42
It's, I don't trust this Dr. Hill.
25:46
I don't blame you.
25:48
He goes on to say,
25:49
this game you're playing, it's not good for you.
25:51
It's not good for anyone.
25:52
Do you intend to continue
25:54
with this elaborate self-indulgence?
25:56
I feel like because there's a hat,
26:00
he's talking to the Red Vision guy,
26:04
but I'm also wouldn't be surprised
26:08
if he's talking to another one of his personalities.
26:12
Okay, okay.
26:14
Speaking of, I guess, similar vein.
26:18
He says, do you even believe that I am real?
26:22
The heart of the problem.
26:23
Can you even tell the difference anymore?
26:26
I doubt it.
26:28
So whether he's talking to himself, someone else, us,
26:32
it's starting to get a little more complicated, unclear.
26:37
What's real, what's fake, we don't know.
26:39
I don't trust him.
26:42
Chapter five, Dread.
26:44
We now have six hours until dawn.
26:47
This guy has wolves.
26:49
Mike follows him anyway.
26:51
Inside, he finds that the man is living in the chapel,
26:55
but he needs a key card to get access to it.
26:58
He finds an administration note, which is a clue.
27:01
They're dated January 4th, 1952,
27:04
and talk about getting prepared for an influx of patients,
27:07
minors that are being rescued.
27:09
On the back, a handwritten note reads,
27:11
you'll need a nose peg, those guys smell awful.
27:15
And this note also confirms we're in the sanatorium.
27:18
Thoughts on this first clue in here?
27:20
It's pretty good.
27:21
Um.
27:23
But it sounds like the sanatorium
27:26
is there to serve the minors,
27:28
but I also don't know what other purpose there is.
27:33
It can't be just that generous
27:34
that they wanna take care of the people.
27:36
I feel like there's something nefarious going on.
27:40
And then we also find a plaque that says,
27:41
Blackwood Pine Sanatorium, open 1922.
27:45
And then I think it's Latin.
27:48
It says, Men's Santa Incorporate Sano.
27:52
I'm sure that I said that horribly wrong, but I don't care.
27:55
And that is a healthy mind and a healthy body.
27:59
Which is something no one has in this game.
28:03
Yeah, pretty standard for a sanatorium.
28:05
But yeah, elusive to all of us right now.
28:09
We also find a safe that contains 30 clocking in cards.
28:12
This is a clue.
28:14
Why are the time cards in a safety box?
28:17
Excellent question.
28:19
And why does a wooden stick
28:22
have enough leverage to open a safe?
28:24
It's a strong stick.
28:27
Especially with Mike's near frostbitten bare arms
28:31
at this point, there's no way he had the strength to do that.
28:34
He then finds a broken camera, which is also a clue.
28:38
And the Alberta Post from January 9th, 1952.
28:41
So pretty much same day as the note, it's pretty close.
28:45
And this discusses the assault of a reporter
28:47
at the sanatorium by security staff.
28:50
The article also mentions the minor rescue.
28:53
It sounds like they were trapped underground
28:54
for three weeks due to a collapse.
28:58
Any notes on this so far?
29:00
No, keep going.
29:02
Okay, a lot of information in this one.
29:04
We also learned that a man named Jefferson Bragg
29:07
is the sole proprietor of both the mining company
29:10
and the sanatorium, which I feel like
29:13
seems like a red flag a little bit.
29:15
Mm-hmm.
29:16
My theory at this point is what if,
29:19
because it's all owned by the same person
29:20
and that's fishy to me, they also were somehow involved
29:26
in the mining area and they knew something bad
29:29
was gonna happen, so they took all these miners
29:32
and moved them into their own facility
29:34
to pretty much discredit anything they say.
29:38
If they are normal, they're still gonna make it sound
29:40
like they're not, just because any truth that comes out
29:44
is going to backfire on them.
29:47
I agree, something feels fishy with this whole setup.
29:51
The next clue that we find is minor medical report.
29:54
The sanatorium had expected the miners to be starved,
29:57
but they had found emergency food supplies.
30:00
Mentally though, they're all worse off
30:02
and on the back of this, another handwritten note says,
30:05
one of those guys actually tried to bite me.
30:07
I'm gonna report it to Dr. Bowen.
30:09
I mean, what do you expect
30:11
when you pretty much trap them here?
30:13
I feel bad for the nurses.
30:15
Yeah.
30:17
They're getting bitten.
30:19
Random creeps just taking chunks out of them.
30:21
I said not ear licking.
30:24
Oh gosh, not Andrew Earlicker, I almost forgot about him.
30:30
And then he just pops right back up, okay.
30:33
So we also find a machete and a restraining chair,
30:36
which is a clue.
30:37
Carved into the wall, the words,
30:39
how many days will they keep us here?
30:41
We also find a note about keeping reporters away
30:44
written on the back of a telegram that was sent to brag
30:48
and mentions the miners and reporters interest in them.
30:52
It gives me outlast whistleblower vibes
30:55
to begin with, with this entire environment.
30:58
My question is, what was the reporter taking pictures of
31:04
that was so bad that they had to shut it down
31:07
and pretty much, I'm assuming like beat the crap
31:09
out of the reporter.
31:11
Like there must've been something that was not okay.
31:14
And this corporation doesn't want to let those images
31:17
go out there.
31:19
It gets weirder though.
31:21
He finds a dead arm on some kind of mechanism
31:25
that is moving it back and forth.
31:27
Oh God.
31:28
On said arm is a toe tag like thing.
31:31
So naturally Mike grabs it.
31:33
And when he does a bear trap clamps down
31:36
on two of his fingers.
31:39
Oh God.
31:39
What the hell is this?
31:41
Why is there a trap set up there?
31:45
So he's stuck in the bear trap.
31:46
We hear the wolves closing in on him.
31:49
We gotta make decisions,
31:51
but thankfully the wheel decides for us.
31:53
But it pretty much decides like,
31:55
I feel like one of the worst ways you could go,
31:57
which is try prying it open once
32:00
and then try chopping your fingers off.
32:03
I couldn't watch that.
32:04
I had to cover my eyes.
32:06
Talk about gore.
32:08
It's first of all, it's heavy rain again,
32:10
but at least you did all the cleaning for and sterilizing.
32:15
This one, if he doesn't die from whatever is out to get him,
32:18
he's gonna die from an infection.
32:20
Oh yeah.
32:21
He uses what has to be the nastiest gauze in existence
32:24
to wrap up his hand.
32:26
But it gets more disturbing
32:28
because we find ourselves in the morgue.
32:30
And not surprisingly, we find a dead person.
32:34
In his shirt is the chapel key card.
32:36
We also find a death certificate for Sarah Smith,
32:39
which is a clue from February 24th, 1952.
32:43
It mentions that she died
32:44
of severe lacerations on the abdomen.
32:47
The sections of her intestines and kidneys
32:50
were apparently eaten by the attacker.
32:52
The murder weapon was fingernails.
32:55
That's crazy.
32:56
So who's doing the eating?
32:58
Like, are they feeding it to the wolves
33:00
or is it the Red Vision psycho?
33:04
Verbatim, it says.
33:06
Body was not discovered until six to eight hours after death.
33:10
Sections of the intestines and kidneys
33:12
were apparently eaten by the attacker.
33:15
But as insane as this sounds,
33:17
it was signed off by Dr. Bowen.
33:20
Speaking of Dr. Bowen,
33:22
we find an emergency medical tag for Dr. Bowen.
33:26
He also died of lacerations, but to the throat.
33:28
And this time we get a note that says, attacked by inmate.
33:31
There's a door off of the morgue that leads to a hallway.
33:34
And in the hallway, he's chased by one of the wolves
33:37
until he makes it into the upper portion of the chapel
33:40
where he can lock it out.
33:42
At this point, he sees the mystery man
33:44
leaving the main chapel room.
33:47
And so he makes his way there.
33:50
I don't think that bone is animal bones.
33:54
Yeah, he chooses, well, the wheel chooses
33:57
to not punch the wolf.
33:58
And then he feeds it a bone from a trunk full of bones.
34:02
So we don't know where those bones came from,
34:04
but I would question it.
34:05
We also find a cigar in a cigar box, which is a clue.
34:09
And he says, Stokie stash exposed,
34:11
which is a hint that's the same cigar
34:13
that we found in the mine earlier with Jessica.
34:16
So is this the same guy that's been following them around?
34:19
Yes, but my other thought too is,
34:21
what if one of the miners got too powerful?
34:26
And I don't know how, this is where
34:28
the non-realistic elements play in,
34:31
is that he ate all his other roommates in the mine.
34:37
I don't know.
34:38
Roommates.
34:40
I mean, they're stuck there for three weeks.
34:42
They're stuck there for three weeks.
34:44
But anyways, he gets powerful enough
34:46
and then he overtakes them.
34:47
And then he becomes this crazy split personality.
34:51
And one of his personality is like CEO-ish
34:54
and smoking cigars.
34:55
And then he goes crazy and then he's like going full Traeger
34:59
and killing up people in the sanatorium.
35:02
I don't know.
35:03
I'm leaning into the multi-personality aspect
35:07
of this game or of the character.
35:11
Mike also finds a coat and a gun, so that's good.
35:14
And then a clippings wall, which is also a clue.
35:17
It includes topics of big foot sightings, missing persons,
35:21
footprints being found.
35:22
The word liars is written on a clipping that says,
35:25
local man found dead.
35:27
What the hell is this?
35:29
I don't know, but I feel like the person who wrote liar
35:32
is probably the missing person.
35:35
Mike leaves out the same door the mystery man went through
35:38
and continues exploring.
35:40
He finds a death totem, which shows him using a lighter
35:43
and then exploding.
35:45
And also a mine rescue photo, which says the miracle men.
35:49
The successful rescue of all 12 men
35:51
trapped in the disaster of January 5th, 1952.
35:55
I think that if Mike were to die,
35:58
it would be towards the end of the game
35:59
where he decides to sacrifice himself to kill
36:03
or possibly kill this red vision psycho,
36:08
which I'm calling him a psycho
36:09
because the subtitles call them that.
36:11
So it's not me naming names.
36:14
So I think that's what is going to happen.
36:15
He needs to kill himself to save the rest of his friends.
36:19
And you bring up a good point
36:20
because we have the psycho, we have the mystery man
36:23
and we have the red vision thing.
36:25
Are they all the same thing?
36:27
Are they all three different?
36:28
Are some of them the same?
36:29
You know, that's a good question.
36:31
I don't think the clown and the red vision guy
36:33
are the same people.
36:35
Unless that person changes personas between the clown
36:40
and this red vision thing.
36:43
There's a lot going on.
36:45
To close out this scene,
36:47
Mike ends up in some back rooms when a locked gate
36:50
blocks his path.
36:52
He then shoots the lock after he tossed a barrel
36:55
of flammable liquid.
36:57
So of course it erupts into flames
36:59
sending him flying backwards.
37:02
Tossing those not barrel wasn't even necessary
37:04
to what he was doing.
37:06
I know.
37:07
What are you doing, Mike?
37:08
Come on.
37:10
You don't look.
37:11
Everything is marked flammable.
37:13
Use your eyes, Mike.
37:14
So we see multiple screens including the same image
37:17
of the tub thing that we saw as Chris
37:19
at the start of the game in the cable car station.
37:22
Watching the monitors is the psycho.
37:25
He hits a bunch of buttons which appears
37:26
to lock a gate behind Matt.
37:30
And then we're quickly playing as Matt
37:31
who tries the gate and discovers that someone has locked it
37:35
even though it was just unlocked.
37:37
So this evil clown is able to control everything from afar.
37:42
I don't know where he's located,
37:43
but that's probably why there is lighting under the library
37:46
but no lighting above ground.
37:48
It seems like he's playing puppet master.
37:50
He can control lights.
37:52
He can control doors, locks.
37:55
He's got videos everywhere.
37:58
Right.
37:58
How did Noah know about him being able to do this?
38:01
Like is he maybe the groundskeeper?
38:04
At the very least, he has to have been there before.
38:08
Matt and Emily are near one of the cable car stations.
38:11
And Matt finds a can of red paint saying it's still fresh.
38:15
He also finds a death totem which
38:16
shows him falling to his death onto some snowy rocks.
38:21
Anything so far?
38:23
What was the paint used for?
38:26
Was it to paint like the words liar or not liar,
38:30
but what was it?
38:31
I think it was dye.
38:33
Dye?
38:33
Yeah.
38:34
I think so.
38:35
It looks like dyes painted over and over the walls
38:38
in the cable car station once they get there.
38:41
Once they get in there.
38:42
But they get in to the cable car station
38:44
using the axe, which we saw the empty axe holder before.
38:48
So now we know where it is.
38:50
Matt spots a fire tower on the map.
38:52
And Emily suggests they go there as it likely has a radio.
38:56
And Matt agrees.
38:58
And this is where Emily says, well, someone's
39:00
learning to play by the rules.
39:03
What?
39:04
What rules?
39:06
Rule number one, Emily is always right.
39:08
Rule number two, nothing else matters because Emily is always
39:11
right.
39:13
Matt's response, though, just uh-huh.
39:17
She's so annoying.
39:19
It's not the time for this.
39:22
Anything before they shimmy to the other side?
39:25
She acts like she's so confident,
39:27
but then when there's a chance of her dying,
39:28
she merely shoves Matt forward and says,
39:30
you need to protect me.
39:31
Yeah.
39:32
No, he doesn't.
39:33
It's just up to you to not slip and fall off of this ledge.
39:36
But once they do make it to the other side of the cable car
39:39
station, we find a guidance totem showing Emily
39:42
handing a flare gun to Matt.
39:45
And then farther on, while exploring,
39:47
Matt finds Beth's phone that we saw her drop in the prologue.
39:52
What information is on her phone that's important enough
39:55
to add it back to the game?
39:58
Matt and Emily end up on the same cliff as Hannah and Beth
40:01
and are soon surrounded by a herd of elk, again
40:04
with the elk.
40:05
I feel like the elk, they're not even that angry.
40:10
So if you wanted to freak them out,
40:11
I feel like a pack of wolves would have been better.
40:15
I don't understand the elk.
40:17
I don't know the theme that we're
40:19
supposed to be picking up from these elk.
40:21
I don't get it.
40:22
But should we move on to scene 10?
40:26
Sam is still in the bath.
40:29
She has got to be a prune by now.
40:31
Seriously.
40:33
How long has she been in there?
40:35
Well, it might have been one hour,
40:37
because the rest of the time was her just
40:39
lighting all the candles.
40:43
She might have stayed in there even longer,
40:45
because she's interrupted by her candles being blown out
40:48
when the door is slammed shut.
40:50
She's listening to music and doesn't
40:52
notice that the psycho is standing right
40:54
behind her in the bathroom.
40:56
She gets out and assumes that the gang is just
40:58
messing with her and gets even more convinced
41:01
when she realizes that all of her clothes have been taken.
41:04
I don't understand why this clown needed
41:07
to take her clothes from her.
41:10
They left her one sock.
41:12
She leaves the bathroom and her towel,
41:15
and she sees all of the candles and the directional balloons
41:19
that have been set up.
41:21
So she starts following them.
41:23
She eventually is led to the theater
41:25
and is quite irritated at this point,
41:27
still thinking that it's just her friends messing with her.
41:30
But then the doors close behind her,
41:32
and she hears the psycho's voice.
41:35
It first shows her a video of herself in the bath,
41:38
but then switches to Josh getting sawed in half.
41:41
That's too much.
41:42
She's getting thrown into the fire here.
41:46
At least it's not like a live stream
41:48
of her friends being killed.
41:50
When she's watching the video, she's like,
41:52
why are you showing me this?
41:53
And I have to say, I love the response
41:56
that she gets from the psycho.
41:58
Why are you watching?
41:59
Yeah.
42:02
He has a point.
42:03
He does.
42:05
And then we hear the psycho say, I'm
42:06
going to give you 10 seconds, and starts to count down.
42:10
At seven or maybe six, he bursts into the room,
42:13
and Sam makes a run for it.
42:14
That scared me.
42:16
It's scary.
42:17
And he's not an easy face to look at either.
42:21
He's so creepy that you can't even look towards him.
42:25
You have to look away, but then you
42:26
don't know what's going on.
42:28
And the eyes are all pupil.
42:30
It's creepy.
42:32
After some close calls, Sam ends up
42:34
running through the basement, ultimately finding herself
42:37
in the old hotel, where she hides in an elevator shaft,
42:40
and the psycho loses her.
42:43
I don't understand why he didn't see her.
42:46
It seems like he's a pretty good hunter.
42:49
I'm wondering if he purposely let her go.
42:52
I think we're back to Dr. Hill.
42:54
Are you ready for that?
42:55
Yeah.
42:55
Final scene.
42:57
He says, you think this mistake won't have repercussions?
43:02
What mistake do you think he means by that?
43:04
I feel like not finding Sam, because that just happened.
43:10
But it also gives him authority over the red vision,
43:17
or the clown, or whoever he's talking to.
43:21
It almost sounds like he is the puppet master.
43:24
While Dr. Hill lectures us, the psycho pops up
43:27
and jump scares Dr. Hill.
43:30
We learned a lot more about Dr. Hill in this episode.
43:32
We saw things change in his office.
43:36
And it now seems like he's talking to the psycho, maybe.
43:41
And he's also scared of the psycho.
43:44
What's going on with Dr. Hill?
43:45
Any further theories?
43:48
I feel like he maybe was someone who worked at the sanatorium
43:55
as a therapist.
43:57
And then he pretty much got locked in there.
44:01
He stayed in there and couldn't leave.
44:03
And that's why he's still in a room
44:06
where there's boarded up windows.
44:09
I just love the analyst sections.
44:12
I love how they don't stay consistent.
44:14
They sort of change with the story
44:17
and with the level of confusion we have as the player.
44:21
Also, there's a snake on his desk
44:23
now because we said that we are scared of snakes.
44:25
But so far, no zombie or thunder.
44:27
Which I feel like that's a lot of work on their end
44:32
to be tailoring our fears that we choose,
44:36
because there's so many different combinations
44:38
that we could have had.
44:40
Overall, how are you feeling about this game
44:43
now after two parts?
44:44
This game got me stressed.
44:46
I think after watching it, I needed a break.
44:50
The jump scares were a lot.
44:52
And I didn't even have my headphones.
44:54
Imagine if I had noise-canceling headphones
44:55
and then that stuff came at me.
44:59
You would have tipped over in your chair.
45:01
I probably would have.
45:03
So yeah, that was a lot to take in.
45:08
It was.
45:08
Just two more videos for you to watch.
45:11
And then you get a break from horror.
45:13
Thank goodness.
45:15
Is that it for this episode?
45:16
I think so.
45:17
I'm ready to count us off.
45:19
Adacity on one, three, two, one.
