#IGP - Hry
Hey everybody and IGP! Ryan here, the solo developer of the game. As always, It's an honor that you play my game and I am always looking forward to your video! Thank you so much, you're amazing as always. I just love the style of all your videos and I really really appreciate it that I am included in that. Thank you, really from my heart - just means so much to me man! ❤
The game is still in early access - I understand there is some issues (Grammer, etc) and some other which I will be fixing in a patch soon altogether but if anyone have any suggestions or feedback regarding the game do let me know. I currently have some plans for it before it fully release, and I love involving the community! I will try to do my best to improve it so every little bit helps a lot! I really do appreciate everything. Thank you so much everybody for all your comments and thank you all for your support! You are all amazing people 💙
P.S: The part where there was "Where we are going, you won't need eyes to see" underneath it will say "IGP" haha :(
Thanks again for everything and have a good day! 💙
Dope game great work
@@Nox_Eternal Thank you so much!! Appreciate it :)
Typically horror games - though I enjoy them immensely - don't really scare me, but there is something so essentially terrifying about not being able to fully rely on your sense of sight that makes the overall experience so unnerving. You've taken the "LIDAR horror" concept to another level, and done a fantastic job of crafting a truly visceral and eerie experience.
I usually hate the horror game tropes and clichés but I think you pull them off very well for a damn solo Dev! I won't play but I'll get it anyways haha
Keep up the amazing work @Steelkrill Studio
Best of luck and stuff ❤
P.s if you ever for some reason port this to vr I think it would kill indie pretty well haha
i want to run a theory by you. When using the lidar, the character isn't physically seeing the room through their eyes, it's an image sent to the display on their helmet visor, correct?
I love hearing IGP adapt ungodly amounts of fear when playing a video game
its like his soal leaves his body every 12 seconds
Like when he plays a non horror game and gets spooked
@@CallumMcNabb And his soul too.
He is exaggerating a bit tho, for entertainment purposes
Idk how adapt would be the word you use considering it means to overcome or get used to
I love IGP muttering "there's way more kids than normal" as if ANY number of kids is normal.
“The strongest and oldest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear… is the fear of the unknown” -H.P Lovecraft. This game is a void, and like most voids it’s filled with mystery and darkness, where the only thing that can kill you is yourself or the void.
Fear is the only emotion that has kept this race alive for centuries
@@TheRealGimynus1 Eh it also is the main thing that keeps us back. If we relied only on fear we would never have ventured out from puny plain in the Rift Valley when our numbers as a species was reduced to a handful. We absolutely would not have been alive. Bravery is what finds new edible plants and animals, novel lifeways that allow us to survive tough conditions. Bravery has allowed us to prosper and survive the likes of which fear never could allow.
@@mergenocide I know, Humans are curious creatures if we didn't have that Curiosity and need for knowledge we wouldn't have had all this technology
"When in hiding, if enemy is near it can hear your microphone. Don't Breathe."
IGP: WHAT?!?
Dude Steelkrill is an absolute god at making horror games, I hope he keeps making more they're so good
Also visage
May the real God deliver you. Cause no human on this earth other than Jesus should ever be referred to as a God.
@The JL It doesn't matter what it is. There is still only one God and he takes those things seriously. Far to many people say these sorts of things and I don't want anyone to suffer hell for it. If you don't believe that's your choice and I respect that. Just please respect my choice to be obediant to the God I serve. .... Also ... how does the casing of the letter G even matter in this situation? It's still the same word and same meaning.
@@Guardian-of-Light137 fella this is a CZcams comment section. Gods name can and will be used as a common slang term regardless whether it be christianity, judaism or Islam no one is going to care. Either just accept that people are going to use that word for a long time as a slang term or take you fragile religious ideals and bugger off.
We came here to watch IGP and to compliment the creator of the this great horror game not to get petty over misuse of the religious word god. Additionally you brought up this issue with the word god you didn’t need to. You could have carried on and ignored it. Take Mark 7:5 it’s basically what you’ve done.
This is coming from someone who left the religion as I found it useless and brought me only more problems
@@guywithbread7873 I have accepted it and moved on countless times over the years i've been on here. And I have regretted saying nothing every time. I'm sick of saying nothing. We have a right to stand up for our beliefs. I'm sorry you feel the way you do considering the lord gives me joy in my heart I could never know in these times without his constant care and help.
Idk what happened during your time with him but I feel like you never got to know the true love of God. Just know there's always time for a change of heart. Is risking your soul eternally burning in hell really worth it? Not to me. And I don't want anyone else to suffer that fate either.
Also. Mark 7:5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?” A quote said by hypocritical Pharisees and scribes that were following their own man made laws rather than the actual laws of God. I'm sorry but I fail to see how this has anything to do with what I said? I'm telling someone to not use the lord's name in vain. Not such a bad request I should think.
I made a stand for God because i'm tired of saying nothing. If you don't like it you are all free to ignore me. I however am going to do as my lord commands. Everywhere I go on the internet it is constant blasphemous talk of God in all ways you can think of. One day. The tribulation will come for this world. I pray i'm not here. How about you? Cause it's gonna be bad. You think what this world is dealing with now is bad? Hahaha we don't even KNOW what bad times are. Sure things suck now. But it is going to get sooooo much worse. And if what I say can keep even ONE person from going through that mess or worse eternal hell? Then I can leave this life one day knowing I have done well. Now good day.
Okay so the visions of the house Francesca had were just the watchers convincing her to get home and spread the virus? Or perhaps a vision of what would happen when she gets home, trying to lock a creature in a room.
There's no way you did this in one sitting without walking away or taking a break. This is terrifying but next level.
I mean jacksepticeye did it
They're probably pretty desensitized to horror games, seeing as it's their job and all.
Eh, doesn’t really terrify me. Most horror games nowadays don’t, really.
@@nickter745thebold8 Neat.
@@nickter745thebold8 did you play it?
edit: asking because at least for me there's a huge difference in scares when I watch and when I actually play and experience the game, idk if it applies to you though.
Wooooah, I was not expecting that ending! Good game!! 😮
New contender for the beatbox battle soon?
pretty standard horror genre ending, IMO. "Just when you think you won, 'surprise!' you never had any hope all along."
@@adamsmall5598 doesn't make it less well written.
It's just like when you look at a The Rock movie you know he will win because it's in his contract he can't lose but you still appreciate the movie.
@@Diffool fair. Glad you appreciated it. I do think this is the most well done lidar themed game I've seen so far.
@@Diffool Wrong. Just go watch the 2005 Doom movie.
So at the end...
...the recording mentions "the ones that stand there and watch, and observe" as opposed to attacking like the red enemies. I'm guessing that whenever your scanner revealed the shadow of a person but an actual red enemy never appeared, that's what was happening. There was a "watcher" standing there, watching you. Creepy.
ohhh like the blue mannequins? Thats a good theory.
IGP: *Yells at the protagonist for talking*
Also IGP: *Squeals in terror right after the game tells him the monster can hear his mic*
Friday night and an hour worth of horror content from IGP! NOICE!
Was just about to say the same thing, an hour of this is great!
Cheers to that
I imagine the game’s basic theme is sensory deprivation, or rather, the extensive limitation of the visual sense, adds to the tension. The fact that the only manner to obtain some form of visual coherence is through the lidar range finder, it definitely made me feel so uncomfortable, anticipating a visual anomaly that may or may not happen. And the the use of sound definitely terrified me, tbh I find it to be eerily comforting, and its absence just makes one’s heart sink. Absolutely loved it. A film with the same concept would be very badass.
Bird Box does something similar
This game’s atmosphere is freaking terrifying, I love it. ❤
This developer makes some pretty amazing games, I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s next after this.
love the nod to the name of the player character that, when shortened in a professional manner, Francesca Lee turns into F. Lee or flee
So IGP's surprise at being able to see previously scanned areas through walls made me think people might like an explanation about this technology. It's pretty common for LiDAR games to use the metaphor "painting the environment" to describe gameplay, but your character isn't physically marking anything.
LiDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging. The scanner shoots a laser and measures how long it takes to reflect back. Because light has a fixed speed, how long it takes to come back tells you exactly how far away the point it hit was. Shoot the laser at a bunch of different points and you can build a point cloud!
Each point has an x, y and z value (basically forwards/backwards, left/right and up/down relative to a fixed point). If you want a DEM (digital elevation model) of the countryside, you mount a LiDAR scanner underneath a plane, fly it at back and forth while scanning the ground, and each point it captures has latitude, longitude and height above sea level recorded. If you want a 3D model of a room, you use a handheld scanner (such as a newer iphone) and the device's accelerometer keeps track of how you're moving it, so that each point's xyz values are consistent relative to each other.
Then you feed this point cloud into visualisation software, which maps out all those points according to their xyz values, building your 3D model. The character in the game is basically walking around in a VR headset displaying that 3D model in realtime! If the in-game scanner can't see part of a wall, like when IGP hasn't gone fully around the corner, then it doesn't have any points recorded to block his view of a different part of the 3D model once he moves further. We can intuitively tell there's probably a solid wall there, but the visualisation software isn't trying to look real, it's just showing us all the points.
Something nifty about this game is that it makes in-game sense that Francesca can see the point cloud generated by the handheld scanner - she's already wearing a spacesuit, and given the specialised mission they were on, of course their helmets would have the necessary VR tech already built in. I'm not sure what kind of onboard processing power you'd need for a handheld scanner and VR headset to be able to map the point cloud instantaneously, but given the scanning isn't particularly dense this honestly seems pretty realistic. The dimension where lasers work but flashlights don't notwithstanding 😉
Sad the audio is not synced makes this unwatchable
The thing that gets me is stuff like tables disappearing, if you're surface mapping then stationary points would presumably just stay there, unless set to remove certain points- but if a world is completely dark, all that having an algorithm to remove stuff like tables from the scan would do is cause injury. No insurance would cover an expedition with designers that stupid- and it thus wouldn't happen.
@@buffcode things disappearing at different rates bothered me too, but I can see the value in having a set lifespan for points in general. Since things in the environment can move, you need some way to refresh the data to reflect changes but the lack of density in scanning makes it difficult to algorithmically decide which points to remove on rescan. Plus just generally I'd expect humans to be more likely to rescan an area that's gone blank than to rescan an area that still looks "solid." The way it could tell different solids apart was pretty unrealistic but probably made for better gameplay.
@@tigressjinx You can actually tell solids' types apart rather well by how they react to lasers, so I'll let that slide since it's far-future hubaloo (see: Raman spectroscopy). But on the point of lifespan for points, generally the safest bet for a truly all dark environment would be to update them only as the room was rescanned. Would also allow caching your results on local storage and using them again, which would save you time and memory processing power, like with rendering anything that uses references in cache. Not to mention the benefits of being able to see changes as they're recorded by having the cache keep old files and only update when changes occur, rather than needing notes or word of mouth. Could always have a passive always-on "area" scanner to make things even safer, even now those are available so the handheld scanner gun and turret is kind of eh. Not anything we'd ever need in super future tech land. But alas, tos the curse of sci fi horror - they either under, or over, estimate the tech.
@Nic Parker ah that's very interesting about Raman spectroscopy! I only deal with geospatial data (just tangentially, I'm no expert) so I didn't realise we could do something like that! You make a good point about passive scanning, I suppose I'm trying a little too hard to rationalise the game 😋
"When in hiding, If enemy is near it can hear your microphone. Dont breathe"
Me: *rips microphone from my audio port*
just finished watching Manlybadasshero playing, now it's time for IGP. Two completly different styles of playthrough
Took me a minute but once I checked him out, I became a fan of Manly’s for sure. I think John Wolfe “introduced” me to him. I dig his style, and like you said, he’s got a different approach and way of being. Bunch of cool folks out there to watch!
That's where I'm headed after this. If my study buddy doesn't catch me slacking
I'm always amazed at how the Indy developers create the most intense games with the most unique mechanics. Honestly these people deserve all the credit and really should gain so much more recognition for the amazing games they create and I'm so glad channels like this bring the spotlight they truly earn
I've said it before, and in this video you can BARELY hear it, but adding the echo to your voice adds so much immersion
54:40 The random voices in the background remind me of the background noise on Eros after it was infected in _The Expanse._ I was waiting for, "Can't catch the Razorback..."
15:35 That, In VR, would be absolutely insane 😆
A 1 hour video from the legend himself?! What a good day it is
Certainly not April 1st!
I hope you continue your Sons of the forest series, the open world/ semi nonlinear flow of the game truly made your lets play unique and enjoyable, reminding me of your OG subnautica videos.
kept asking why we put structures and statues on that planet, and never once considered that it's an alien planet they recently discovered. They didn't build that stuff, something else did. How are you going to build in an environment you can't even see light in?
Voidness is so good, it had me on the edge of my seat when I first saw it from another person. Keep making horror content!
Did that person happen to be ManlyBadAssHero?
@@WrathOfWater5931 no, it was jacksepticeye
sorry IGP, don't think I can finish this one. You have a fear of the deep ocean, I have one of not being able to see my surroundings. Being stuck in a pitch-black environment with only a tool for a piss-poor replication of sight, while a hostile enemy is lurking around, is too much. I just can't.
Trenches was an amazing game. Skilly live and an IGP video. Utter heaven.
13:44 "Don't breath".
Best videogame advice ever. xD
Love the gameplay truly but on god I can feel just pure unadulterated TERROR during the hiding portions and I swear I almost had a mini heart attack at some points! 10/10 would watch again!
So this game looks nightmare inducing and absolutely fantastic as well I'm really interested in this the concept of the void having to use your scanner to light the way it's just so amazing I don't think I've ever seen another game like this. Cheers for the upload IGP
Scanner Sombre i think its called, jack did a great video a few years ago on it, lidar.exe and enter and survey its called i believe, ive always liked this type of mechanic as well.
Definitely not a new idea, but this is the first one I've seen turn it into a complete game experience and not something more akin to a tech demo or proof of concept.
@@ledumpsterfire6474 yeah no i just wanted you to know of other games like this cuz you said you were interested :)
Alex Furness, what a beast of a voice actress. Love Steelkrill and the stories they weave, cannot wait for their next one!
Imagine this dark planet is in reality a future post apocaliptic Earth, and you dont travel in space, you just travel in time
Wow i was partially right😂 i wrote this before the end of the video haha
Oh man as soon as I heard the male voice at the end I was like "Professor Bryan?" At first I thought he was still alive and left behind but when he said don't leave I realised what it actually was. That was awesome, the lidar navigation is such a cool concept just giving you stationary images that you have to keep on refreshing when stuff is moving. Really fantastic game.
Steelkrill doesn't create games. Steelkrill creates nightmares.

IGP's kid: *writes a kind and loving letter*
IGP after reading the whole thing: "ok"
i really enjoy how u change the mic audio to match the environment ur in at the time. pretty ingenious
A very cool style of horror game, definitely sent chills down my spine, something very few horror games can do when watching them.
1:03:04 it says Enter "Returnal" Pod....umm I don't think we going back home boys and girls!
The professor was probably insane enough to send his own workers out into the void like HE DOESN’T CARE!!!
I mean you call them terrifying monsters. But in the dark you can’t really tell. What if you’re running around terrified. And it’s just Steve from Minecraft mining in the caves
8:47 that hello reply was a nice touch i admit.
21:43 lol is this some sort of religion thing? Faz clan? XD
32:23 lol
Oh nice a horror game with a good ending final....
Hears professor dailogue
and I spoke too soon, bitter sweet endings a trend for 2023 horror games it seems.
i have no idea why i love watching hour long videos from igp. i dont feel this type of way to other content creators who have very long videos exculding caddicarus.
I will never get sick of watching IGP play games
I'm not done watching the video yet, but seriously, this chick is doing some of the absolute best female voice acting I've heard in a long time. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good job madam
I was impressed with how she managed to put so much emotion in while working around all the weird typos and awkward sentences.
She sounds like Sigourney Weaver.
I really enjoy the indie scene gems that you find and share on this channel; so many cool games out there that I'd never had known about otherwise!
I love that you can tell igp loves his kids and wife even thru just some of his videos sometimes
its such a simple thing but I do appreciate how for these games where there is an audible echo in portions the effort is made to add the appropriate amount of echo to help with the immersive experience while watching the video. as far as I have ever been able to tell you are the only person I have seen actually give that much effort to something like that.
This game is absolutely amazing. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time and my heart was pounding so much. Also loved the scream of shy guy at the beginning when she was listening to the recording what a great touch
I watched another playthrough of this a few days or so ago, but it's always exciting when you upload! Your videos have a uniquely spooky atmosphere :)
5:50 Love how you were so dedicated to mocking THAT Sons of the Forests questline that you kept trying to up until the scare. But yeah, screwdrivers get a pass
what a cool concept for a game! I'm digging these longer form videos too
I absolutely love the lengthy upload! Insomnia sucks, but this is my favorite way to distract myself from watching the minutes just tick by. Awesome game and you handled it like a champ! ✌️🤟🤘
Gotta love our boy Indie, whenever he tries to be a smartass, he always has instant karma like at 6:41
I love this channel, can´t say im a recurrent viewer but everytime i tune in is special! It´s like watching Peppino Spaghetti gaming at times :D
What a playthrough! I was on the edge of my seat! You really do a great job of bringing these games to life with the fear and emotion you show! Wow!
Holly sh$t mate that was FRKIN INTENSE!!! , absolutely love the concept of this game,, had my butt clinched so many times lol,, cheers IGP..
6:20
I know someone who has fingernails thick and strong enough that he can remove screws and bolts with them.
The moment I saw that this uses Mic, and read how you described it with sheer terror in the title, I instantly knew it was steelkrill. Hats off for being able to get your name associated with top notice Mic utilizing horror. And MY GOODNESS, LIDAR!?!? INSTANTLY BETTER; LIDAR HORROR HAS TO GET BIGGER!
Ehh, I don't know if bigger is better in this case. It's a really awesome gimmick, but one that can only go so far before it'll wear out its welcome.
This looks epic
When you were chasing "her son" upstairs in the house, that part of the 2nd story is the exact layout of 9 child street 2nd story, where you find that undead boy that hands you the tablet to check the cameras
I have been wanting an extended one of these for a while, this is cool.
…this freaks me out just the thought of being lost deep in space… in a black void where Time and space seem nonexistent with some higher intelligence messing with you… this is vary creative and so scary
i gather from the fact that the void was consuming base 2 and the hints from the statues and many other things that the world itself wasnt always coverd in darkness
id love to see the map of this world unshaded because there is so much potential foe easter eggs in this
infact i have no doubt in my mind there are already many easter eggs hidden all over the place
This was amazing from start to finish! The twist at the end was awesome and not at all what I was expecting!
Igp: you can't remove screwn w. Your fingers
Me a mechanic : maybe not a screw but definitely nuts&bolts
My day is 100x better when IGP uploads ❤
Finally finished watching this playthrough, god what a trip this has been.. equal parts intriguing and horrifying, and with a cool twist i might add!
You’re content and editing skills are amazing. Love this channel.
hey IGP been a fan since I first watch your playthrough of witch hunt. as always you bring joy to my day whenever you upload a video.
YES! I love your videos and it's even better when they're long videos
so kinda like The Martian, A Quiet Place, and Alien put together but hella tweaked. how very interesting
You are so entertaining to watch / listen too. Glad I found you a few years ago !
Depends on how loose the screw is, if its really in there, no you can't use your finger. But if it's loose enough, which surprisingly it doesn't need to be as loose as you might expect, personally i've uncrewed many screws with my fingers.
13:44 "when in hiding the enemy near can hear your microphone, don't breath." IGP proceeds to scream and start talking
What an absolutely stunning ending!! I seriously wasn't expecting it at all!
That was great. Thank you for leaving it as a single long adventure.
8:45 IGP:Hello?
Something responds back saying the same word hello. This is a great game
Great idea . And that scan view was amazing 🔥
This is amazing, I love the sounds
Great work love the video as always
Awesome to see an hour long video IGP!
I already know its going to be good when the video is an hour long, i love the hour long vids
An hour long with IGP! Awesome!!!
I love these longer IGP vids!!
Such a great concept of a game props to the dev amazing work
Its definitely very creative. I wonder if there are actual textures to the environment if it was lit up or if this was a smart way to intertwine making a game while saving time and budget on modeling the environment and characters, since each encounter can be scripted to be like the archaic version of quick time events. If so applause to the developer for the creativity (even if some may think lack thereof) in this game. Its definitely different and I dont ever recall seeing lidar used like this in a game. Its pretty damn cool when you think about how efficient this game is.
I like how you have to use a tool to see the map it makes you curious of what lies on it
Hot damn I didn't even realize I was just here for an entire hour with how captivated this game and your commentary had me.
This game HIGHTLY made me think of Scanner Sombre if anyone heard of it. It's the same mechanic where you use a gadget to scan your surrending who is pitch black but instead of beeing in the void you're in a cave.
Yeah, fantastic game! I actually thought it was another part of Scanner Sombre 😀
I loved this!! All of his games have been awesome!
Loved every minute!!! I really enjoy these longer vids. This kept me on the edge of my seat!! Great start to the weekend!!! 💯🔥💋🌹
Listening to the final recording in the end had me holding my breath. Beautiful game.
Wow! Just WOW! These kinds of games I love to watch.
I already know this is gonna be good, your vids always are
So happy to be so early to this! It’s already hella awesome keep it up man💜
Would love to see some kind of sequel of this game this is amazing
Watching this is really tiring, bcs it kept me on the edge all the time. I had to pause and take a break every now and then. This game is so well done, im lost for words
POV: when IGP is playing a game where the monster can hear his mic him: sings some weird ass song
Always a good day when IGP posts
