Apologies to @HorsesOnYT - Hry
The real tragiedy of fear and hunger is the rusty nail
Fuck That Nail
MMMM😖
An enemy worse than crow mauler
Reminds me of that one time I stepped on a rusty nail when I was 5 and it got stuck pretty deep(for a 5 year old's sole) prolly like 1 - 2 cm
Perchance that was the catalyst for this mDness...
the real tragedy is not noticing a leaf trap in the deep woods and having to go through hours of gameplay again
When a 12 dollar game is more lore enriching than some AAA games
They need to play it safe with those AAA budgets, so all you get is an underdog overthrowing a fascist dictator, that would be 50$, thanks
I love how you can just tell that funger is a beloved one person project. It's not ethically washed out to complete plainness like big production projects.
If only there are teams production tho, that works in the technical support so that the update can be more faster@@CHNO-cm1rd
you know, this aaa games is not rpg maker shit. i hate most of aaa but if all you have to do is art style and lore then its not dat hard to be more enriched with lore
Maybe the real Fear and Hunger were the friend we killed along the way.
Gro-Goroth seems happy about it
*pocket cat approves* @@QuantemDeconstructor
Do you wanna know the real tragedy of Termina? Trying to save everyone in day 1 only to get cornered by Needles without saving after getting Salmonsnake rune from a crate. That shit made me scream to my pillow.
That's Rough Buddy
You’ll be alright mate. I’ve found salmonsnake rune in 4 of my 5 attempts so far. Just pray to lord All’mer and all will be well.
I too tried to save everybody on Day 1....only to completely forget that unless you play as O'saa, August will get killed by Le'garde on Day 1 🤦🏻♀️
You can save everyone on day 1 with someone besides Abella? I've only been able to do it with her 🤔
@@SpyralHaxthe only one who can do save everyone beside abella is with o'saa but only on day 1
Cahara getting the penance armor:
"fuck you, old guy! I stole your key!"
"wow! Cool armor! Mine!"
"... Shit."
And then he grunts everytime he moves a bit
Cahara would never use the penance armor, how could he get stinger'd by the guards with it on
*Sad Ma'habre music plays*
The real tragedy of fear and hunger is existing as anyone who isn't Enki or Nostramus
I mean enki cannonicaly got nearly crucified and nosramus lost all his friends and kept alone for at leats 700 years
Darkness and Fear can get to Enki just as much as to any other character. Ragnvaldr points out Enki‘s unwillingness to be honest about it when he is on low mind. Funnily enough, Ragnvaldr‘s friendly teasing of Enki gets him to stay in the party
@@ren_8181Enki was willingly sacrificing himself tho
enki willingly crucified himself pretty much just because he was bored of life i dont think hes having that great of a time either, he just got out of the bad times relatively unscathed
Buckman's group, after heavily going out your way to help them, and escaping is probably the most heartwarming event in funger, especially after going back to where Seymor is and reading their note.
Their quest always ending in failure since Rudimer is the crow mauler isn't completely a happy ending, but it's fear and hunger, I'll take what I can get.
Its very lisa the pointless sotws coded which is very rare
Also hi pudding, I see you all the time on the videos I watch
Hi Ren, good to see you too.
storytelling has to be one of my favorite things about the f&h series.
Such rich lore for something on the surface is a ‘shock jock’ videogame.
A big thing to do with it is the lack of being restricted, so much of this game couldn’t EVER pass in a game with focus groups scoping out any and all controversial themes, F&H would be a nightmare for a actual game studio, that’s why indie devs like this guy are needed now more then ever.
The real tragedy is that you didn't sneak in All-bones Jones or Frappolo for one of the voice overs. Excellent video, even without trolling your audience.
If I were gonna have someone read a segment of Tales of the Pocketcat, I know who I'd pick.
If I had to have someone narrate any of the skin bibles or esoteric texts, I know who I'd pick.
Perkele, Stiches, and Needles should start a band.
pretty sure Stitches is based on a musician, she literally looks and dresses like him
@@lorddervish212quinterosara6 their band name Gon be: The Disposable Teens
They are tho
I got Vietnam flashbacks hearing a deep voice saying "Darkest Dungeons"
I never knew the Woodsman could have that small moment of humanity come back, this was all very interesting! I fell out of my F&H hyperfixation for a lil bit but this sure has helped to reignite it, thank you!!:D
I'm pretty sure that the Penance armor is a reference to the Marvel comic book character and former hero called speedball, who was part of a group of heroes like the teen titans but suffered a terrible accident with a villain who used his powers to detonate himself and resulted in the death of 612 innocent people. When he was hit by the explosion, he fell into a coma and managed to survive due to his ability to absorb kinetic energy, but lost his power when he awoke from the coma. Because of his inconsequential actions, he was held responsible for the 612 lives that could have been saved. After some time in prison, his powers began to shine again, but in a different way: now he could transform any pain he felt into energy and was able to expel it in powerful explosions. Trying to redeem himself, he designed a suit of armor with 612 thorns inside, one for each life he failed to save, these thorns would pierce him constantly, as a reminder of his failure and an ignition for his powers. In this state he adopted the codename Penance and began his quest for redemption. If you research it, you'll see that both armors are not only conceptually similar, but also visually similar
Oh, that's cool! I just searched Miro's twitter and yeah, the Penance armour is a reference to that character
Fear And Hunger is a game that pretty much realigned my braincells, I'm not normally into overly dark games because I feel they often go in poor taste. but Fear And Hunger not only made me deeply sympathise with the characters, but made me actively want to save them, to the point I was consulting guides left and right to make sure I wasn't leaving anyone behind. it makes me sad that ultimately, we cannot save everyone still alive in either game, because someone has to die to ascend the Girl, or the future remains dark without her guidance. and Termina forces you to be unable to save them all, for example Henryk.
but it feels good, yknow, to help the knights in F+H1 and the ghosts in Termina. it feels like even though it may not improve anything in the long run, it still mattered. it was a story, and maybe there was kindness, maybe there was cruelty. but it happened either way.
This game did the opposite to me. Normally I would try to befriend and save everyone even if it's hard and tedious like in Fire Emblem for example. But F&H is so unfair and cruel that I wouldn't mind sacrificing a child or two to get a headstart in the game.(I even finished the whole Trortur side quest for shi- and giggles). Maybe the darkness of the dungeon get to me.
You can save everyone as osaa or the red head mechanic(forgot the name) in termina
It's funny that the pain from the penance armor is supposed to focus your mind, when I feel more like it would be incredibly distracting.
i think of it as a sort of twisted zen state, where the pain is so constant that you become numb to everything else
I wonder if the spirit who owns the cameo is one of the soldiers? The one who wrote to his sweetheart about having to wait in prehevil a little longer while the Kaiser came to town comes to mind. I think that note may have been found on a corpse unrelated to this spirit but still, gets my cogs turning.
Holy shit this was amazing, I love all of the stories across F&H and this was a great through-line across all of them. Can't wait for pt. 2 where shit gets deific.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
If a dude the size of a fourth grader with a kitchen knife happens to capture you for scientific experiments, it’s probably your own fault. Just think about how many fourth graders a knight can knock down like bowling pins with a single swift kick….
I can buy Trortur capturing Ludwig since he's a weenie, but he can capture you when you sleep too... Maybe he knows pressure points?
Lots of experience. You don't have to be strong if you are skillful and catch your prey unaware. My guess is these knights were proud of their prowess and so thought the small ruined man not a threat. Only the dungeon doesn't allow such arrogance. All it took was them being unaware during a battle or falling into a dark reverie during times of rest and that would be it. Once rendered unconscious their strength is of little use.
You guys are both making me rethink my comment, I'm thinking of regular fourth graders on a playground and not some abhorrence born of the cube of the depths in the dungeon of Fear and Hunger 😅
The penance knights are also weirdly a Marvel comics reference to a character who wore a masochistic costume with spikes that impaled him, constantly inflicting him with pain that allowed him to use his powers. His name was actually Penitence or something along the lines. It was a strange moment in the og Civil War storyline.
Love your video hope you do the story for F&H Termina as well
Wow, thank you very much! The next video will be about the Machine God, which will cover the story of the Festival and Termina, too
Concise and insightful video! This was a pleasurable watch~
So here's a weird thought that I had. How the hell did the radiating one manage to come into possession of the crow maulers freakin arm? The only logical thing I can come up with is when he went to go become a new god he found the maulers corpse and saw the club arm and thought "that looks useful" and hacked it off.
that's a really good question
I mean the radiating one went into the dungeon way after crow is dead, so he might have found his skeleton somewhere
Well, the Gull Maulers also have these weapons, so I think that it was either an existing weapon that Rudimer replaced his arm with, or it started being made after the events of 1590
@@cdru515Yeah, this is probably the right answer but I’m not gonna like it lol
Loved the vid and the storytelling! I swear these stories can be heart breaking like the child in the orphanage. It gets me angry that such a fate could befall people with no fault of their own. Whenever I play I take great pleasure removing the monsters that stalk the darkness because of this.
Thank you for making this I’ve been looking for someone who talks about the story . You did a good job in the voices
6:01 that “Darkest dungeons” was perfect.
The voice acting by Markus was such a cool addition to this video!
The real tragedy was fear and hunger we made along the way.
Excellent video. The new style of voiceover sounds more natural. I didn't know about the board stories. Pretty awesome.
well done dude I'm just swapping from 1 to termina and it's hard to pick up the lore when you're running for your life thanks man great video
Damn, props to the VA, his reading gave me chills
Amazing video and superb voice acting!
Always a fan of your F&H lore videos, this one was especially a treat!
Thank you for this video, it is so well made and thought out :)
The best fear and hunger content by far :) I love learning all the little details of this game
These videos salve my soul, thank you 🙏
I knew that it was legarde, all along. Only someone as evil as him would not only use, but wish torment upon others, for benefit of "humanity". This is all so miniscule and gigantic at the same time.
Wonderful video great commentary and editing
thank you very much!
Wow this is cool! I had no idea you could do that with the Trortu. Nicely done man!
I didnt know about the spirits, i find them to be one of the most interesting part of the town now. As cool as the gods are, personal stories have always interested me more. It gives such a good look into the world outside of the cults, goods and dungeons, how the life of everyday people might be like
Holy shit this was so good. I hope there's more!
Great stuff!
Great video!
Fantastic video
9:20 probably he witness the true form of the gods
The real Tragiedy of fear & hunger is the fucking discord.
Do you have a link to the official discord?
What happened there?
I thought the reddit was worse, at least on the discord they stay in topic and discuss a lot about the lore
I've always loved more than words can express that despite the setting changing the characters from the first game made it to the other in some way. expanded upon, even
You know, I've never played nor will I play F&H, but you, you make this game so interesting! Love the videos man!
great video friend, VA, script, editing is top notch
Thank you very much!
the real tragedy of funger is how this is going to get taken down for nudity 😔
Woodsman isn't naked 👌
"theres nightmare clowns that roam the streets" fucking great. i love nightmare clowns
The VaatiVidya of Fear and Hunger
Also a little shout out to you! Been a long time viewer and named the Pirate ship the Mauthe Doog after you in my F&H inspired DnD campaign I run!
A F&H inspired DnD dungeon? Now thats something else 😀
oh VERY excited for the le'garde video!!
I think the purpose of it all is pretty clear. It is men reaching out for divinity. Always before it was divinity that closed the gap...but this only made nightmares. Despite this the gods do want to close that gap. So the twisted things continue to be made. The only way it can end is if men are the ones who make the connection. And all that has happened has been the faltering steps of man slowly inching closer to the divine. Even ascended gods are not good enough. It involves a mortal closing the gap, yes, but how many can folliw that path? Not many I bet. For many reasons. What is needed is a path where humanity can walk forth in the realm of gods on their own merit without godly assistance. So we are seeing each step forward.
The deep lor of fear and hunger seams to always surprise me. Great material without it I wouldn’t even fink about this secrets like ouija board or the killer in the apartments!
Damn, loved the vid
THIS WAS BLOODY FUN
Yoooo he’s back
I recently found about fear and hunger and am now a massive fan of the series.
The real tragedy of fear and hunger 1 is that you can’t gain access to either of the best armours in the game while saving Buckman’s full party.
Luckily, you can steal Trortur's key during the fight! Imo Gaunt Armour is a little better but if that's off the table then yeah Penance is great
Apparently according to a comment on all bones jones’ gaunt knight video, there’s a bug tile you can walk on after you save him to start the fight again, letting you kill him and save him in the same play through. Idk about the validity of the claim though
@@MautheDoog
Oh btw, are you thinking of doing a lore video on your theory about how ending C is cannon instead of the S ending? I keep seeing people say that it’s definitively Cahara A, others S. And after listening on the new gods podcast, it would be interesting to see you guys stir the pot on what the community considers potentially cannon from fear and hunger 1 and give people new ideas
@@slysamuel5902 I've been thinking about doing a video about the endings of F&H1. The issue is there's still ambiguity in the exact canon, which I address a little in the Machine God video coming out next.
@@MautheDoog
Well yeah, but even if it’s ambiguous it would still probably be good to let more people know of it since right now most people assume 3 S endings + Cahara A ending to be the only possible conclusion.
Good stuff.
HE IS BACK WITH THE LORE!!!
I usually not comment but this video got me. Thx fot the awsome video
Glad you like it!
I liked the voice acting
On my first save of the first fear and hunger.
I got the Crow mauler message.
Paused my game.
Posted it on Reddit.
And listened to one comment telling me to stay still.
I wasn't the same after that.
I’m not easily disturbed but this game is the only one capable of making me feel intense dread and disgust, I love it.
funger? yippee
Yo dawg. Big ups. Just be Vaati for Funger, you're doing great so far.
The penance armor story is so dark man I’m obsessed with it
Penance Armour and the Knights are really cool. We almost got a playable Penance Knight for the first game as a fifth character, but it was repurposed into the armour which imo is a fair trade
this video is fucking amazing
Yo babe wake up! New Mauthe Doog vid just dropped!
The Penance Knights always reminds me of the Berserker armor
VA Markus reminds me of the ancestor of the Darkest Dungeon
That's one of of the best compliments a VA can get
could you do a video about pocket cat and daan? i get all my fear and hunger lore and analysis through videos but i love yours the most 🥺
Pocketcat video is in the works 👍
@@MautheDoog pissing my pants for the release fr
I know it's a popular theory that Woodsman's wife slept with with the goat Black Kalev, but I think there's more to the whole thing.
My personal head-canon is that she laid with Black Kalev in his human form, which understandably infuriated the Woodsman, who then used magic to seal Kalev into the farm goat. But his wife had already gone mad, so he beat her up and locked her inside the basement, where she tried to draw Rher's ritual circle so that she could reunite with Kalev after death.
I just think that'd be more interesting turn of events than just "hahaha his wife fucked a goat."
Funger game mentioned i stand up
Found out im a 2% duster listener today but its okay, you posted today Mauthe, so thank you. What was your wrapped?
I don't use spotify, I just look up music on youtube. If I did, it'd probably be a mixture of the albums American Idiot and Americana
duster fuckin bumps
@MautheDoog but what about big lez
@@MautheDoogThat is ironically pretty American taste
Gotta hand it to Markus in 6:02, I dig his voice. Makes me think of the Ancestor from Darkest Dungeons
Probably because it's closer to the Green Hue, which human minds can't really handle
Captain Rudimer sounds like the robo dude in Doom lol, which is pretty cool and badass
It seems like in Fear and Hunger there is a set of people born with certain Soul characteristics right? So what if the people who were sacrificed also had those Soul pieces that were needed to perform those rituals and US the group of players were the segregates to be the pieces for "Whom ever we made it too."
Yesss
Great. The only time I've ever seen my name in a video game and it's fucking stitches
YOU CAN USE ELIXIR OF MIND ON THE-
im shook.
missed Mauthedoog Pocketcat voiceover opportunity
Oh Mauthe got VA's now?
again an amazing video made by a terrific person that takes the time to understand, not just learn. I always love your videos.
thank you very much!
Man that almost sounds like Wayne June dang
God it’s games like this that make me wanna get my pc already I miss out from the indie community
11:43 Not *all* 3, just the one in the Temple.
this game is so metal bruh
You think doing ending A save the souls from the Sulfur Pits?
I suspect Logic is going to steal the power from Sulfur, but I also suspect that's a question that will never be truly answered
@@MautheDoogoh man hoooooold on... that's sumn to chew on
@@stinkystink9830fr
Marina's story is still my favorite
16:35 dint firget that daan parents try to pass the silvian gift to him. Whatever it means
Mau did you forget to blur…the woodsman.
Woodsman doesn't have a pp so it's ok 👌
surprised you didn't use the censor mod for either games, but i don't mind
Technically, nothing in this video needs to be censored 👌
I mean fair, I am just really used to creators doing that even for the woodsmen or the dead body's.
I have tendency of being drawn towards dark stories. I consider Little Nightmares and Hollow Knight as some of my favorite pieces of media. But that d*mned orphanage... The moment the music kicked in, I could FEEL the hopelessness. Nothing but pain and sorrow, with the only reminders being a noose, a skeleton, and the ghosts of those locked within the place they so hated.
The music is absolutely perfect in that place
Omg so excited for the next video already!!!
If anything. This video and the previous just hits home the point previously made.
The God of Sulfur subverted All-Mers sacrifice for humanity. The God of Sulfur is the King.
Fear and Hunger is what I consider borderline Grimdark Horror
It is, especially the first game. Seems like any games after Termina will be a different direction though!
This gives me VaatiVidya vibes in the best way.
15:30 why scarabs of first game looks a lot like those??
We're not sure. They're probably related to Sulfur somehow though
Woodsman is a Witch referebce.
yeah, along with Kalev. Lots of references in the games, especially Termina, and they're all 100% canon
