  • In late 2019, a series named Gemini Home Entertainment was born. While initially appearing to harbor ordinary VHS tapes about various life activities, the content within them is much more ominous than it appears.

    I really love how in gemini, the giants are protecting the earth, just like in real life.
    Jupiter and Saturn have a magnetic field strong enough to where it shifts asteroids that would normally be heading straight for earth away.
    In Gemini, it somehow weakens Iris to where it cant destroy the Earth until it deals with the Giants.
    Our Celestial Siblings need more credit tbh.

      Saturn being the gateway makes a ton of sense, he was one loyal bro. Even our friend Jupiter once tried to eat us all during the formation of the solar system. Most star systems in the galaxy don't have a Saturn to pull back the gas giant from eating/ejecting everything in the inner system. Saturn's a real one.

    For this series, my favorite human has to be Jack. I love how, despite him never saying a single word for the entire series, I grew attached to him. He was the only human we'd seen record Woodcrawlers and Fake People, even getting a shot of the newly mutated Mary. He'd survived so many horrific attacks because, well, he's human. He prioritized his own life over others, seen when Mary "went down the stream" and in World's Weirdest Animals where, when the Fake Person rushes him down, he doesn't stand there and record it brutally converting or killing him. He turns and runs, not bothering to get a good shot. He advises on what to do to the best of one man's ability. He truly was one of the bravest analog horror protagonists I've ever known.

    It's worth noting that the game "sardines" in Games For Children is similar to the instruction to hide in the bunkers. We know, from Lethal Omen, that bunkers don't actually stop anything.

    fun little detail: "albedo" (as in the "albedo alarm" recommended for storms) typically refers to the amount of light reflected from a light source such as the sun on the surface of a planet or moon. to me, this implies a hidden function of the alarms being to signal the location of humans to the woodcrawlers, or just a reference to sort of turning the earth into a beacon of sorts

      I like to think that it was always after us, all the planets (and moons) affected were side effects but specifically neptune and uranus were just preparations to start the invasions on earth (edit-) because, if I remember correctly, in the solar system video, Neptune beams something over to earth. That gave me the idea that it's using Neptune as a breeding ground and then sending them (woodcrawlers, gardeners, so on) over to Earth.

    There is a certain satisfaction to how this series doesn't flash shocking images or burst loud noises at you suddenly, but instead presents all of its horrific imagery slowly, dimly, and in near dead silence, only amplifying the sound in a gradual crescendo to build up the dread. It's a much more personal type of horror that makes you internalize the haunting reality of the scene for yourself. Just the fact that Woodcrawlers make no noise at all is such a good detail that sets this up from the very beginning.

    A catch-22 isn't a dilemma or difficult decision, it's from the book Catch-22 where not wanting to be in combat was a sign of being rational, so if someone is crazy they need to be grounded, but to be grounded they have to ask for it, which is a sign of being rational so they can't be grounded. So it's a paradoxical situation where there is no way to get the desired outcome.

      If you wanted to stretch it you could argue that needing to know someone is not a fake person in order to try to save them but needing to try to save them in order to find out is kinda like that, but the way that idea was structured in the video does hurt this argument and I agree with you that the usage was inappropriate

An fungoid alien race from a planet near Neptune which takes over the bodies of their victims, on both cases "fake people" are the result, and they go about seeking more victims and spreading the alien propaganda.

    During the “fake” help screams, I noted something that many aren’t touching on. Perhaps there are 2 options happening here.
    1. The idea many have, Natures Mockery is forcing them to scream in order to bait other humans, or
    2. Natures Mockery leaves the victim conscious, and *allows* the victim to scream, not forcing them. Perhaps the screams are not fake, but people pleading for help that won’t, or rather, can’t, come.

      An understated element and something I think defines the genre of analog horror is immersion, which I think Gemini and Local 58 get down really well. You feel like you're watching a tape or broadcast on your own TV late at night. Walten Files, for example, struggles to keep that immersion however makes up for it with Martin's amazing art style, while Mandela Cat. boosts it's immersion value by having it's primary setting in something we're all familiar with: a dark household at night.

    During the solar system video, when it's on Saturn you can see...something moving into view just before it cuts away to Uranus. It looks sort of like Uranus, but if you pause you can clearly see it's something very different and very alien. What a neat little thing to add. The "gateway" is being actively used and it was caught on camera. I love how these analog horror creators really get into world building. You can tell they have fun making sure their vision is cohesive, and for the really good ones they make sure nothing is left out that could break the illusion.

    I have only one complaint for the whole video (because it’s fantastic) how did nexpo not pick up on the fact that in the true ending of omen, the person was transformed into a woodcrawler? We seem to sacrifice ourselves, and then afterwards we become different. We don’t have a gun, there’s strange noises, etc. We literally knock on a door, create creaking floorboards, and when we see a picture of a woodcrawler on the Tv, there’s no one in the room but us. Implying that we are the woodcrawler. I don’t think that the protagonist of the game is Jack, I think it’s someone working at the campsite (too lazy to look into all the names). Not only were we able to enter all of the cabins and employee buildings and rooms with ease, but we clearly became a woodcrawler at the end. But other than that, fantastic video

      I doubt it was an actual skinwalker, not the Native American type one. Remember in the wilderness survival guide video, with the bear suddenly sprouting woodcrawler appendages? Woodcrawlers and skinwalkers act very similarly to each other. They can both take the forms of humans and animals, so humans just call them skinwalkers because that’s the closest thing. They don’t understand that it isn’t a spirit, but an alien controlling the animals.
      Anyways yes you’re right, although I believe they weren’t sacrificing animals prior to this. The lights in the Sky event was most likely a front for the mass murder of campgoers coming to the event. No wonder they didn’t want to do it anymore.

    Something you failed to mention:
    The storm survival video also said the sounds on the radio were auditory hallucinations and not to listen.
    Here is my take on the different companies:
    Harbinge has been developing defenses and countermeasures to Iris, which seem to work, as the protagonist in the video game survives the "storm." However, it may have been infiltrated by Iris to some degree.
    Regnad is either conspiring with Iris or was infiltrated by its minions.
    Optica may have been the same as Regnad, a legitimate company that was infiltrated early on.
    Gyneva is likely working with Iris intentionally. The video about Crusader 5 had graphics that demonstrated an intimate knowledge of the entity. Additionally, the probe's name indicates a less-than-scientific intent. Instead of a bold or adventurous name, such as Pioneer, Voyager, or Spirit, the probe is named Crusader - one who crusades. A crusade is typically affiliated with religious conflict or a zealous spread of ideology. Gyneva may very well be an Iris cult.
    The company names are interesting as well.
    Harbinge, a variation on harbinger, a predictor of calamity.
    Regnad, danger spelled backwards.
    Optica, a variation on optical, related to the eye.
    Gyneva, speller "Gyn," as in gynecologist, possibly alluding to birth or the creation of new life.

      @AlastorAltruistGaming Pƙed 9 měsĂ­ci

      That now begs the question: We know that there were also the Crusades early on in this world’s history. The Knights Templar were a common force in the Crusade era to take back the Holy Land. The Knights Templar were accused of being Devil-worshippers or catalysts for the Illuminati, the New World Order. Since the Crusader probe was launched into space, it has become fascinated by the sights & ideas of the Iris planet. Which begs the theory AND question of, if Gyneva were part of the Illuminati as a task force to carry out the New World Order, a new world eventually controlled by the Iris planet. Like, that there was some secret government involvement in the Gemini Home Entertainment universe that we don’t know about.

      @drohit1207 Pƙed 8 měsĂ­ci +15

      Maybe it's just my interpretation, but I think Optica was founded by Iris followers (or rather, cult members) while I think Regnad has kinda fallen into insanity, a "they were so occupied with whether or not they can, that they didn't think whether they should" situation.
      (Edit-) Harbinge, I think, are also benevolent, but are unaware that their products don't work, at least as well as they think it works (I say this because the iris says "the harbinger guards but in vain" or something along those lines, in the second regnad artificial intelligence video). But it might also be that they're infiltrated by Iris, as you suggest, who are making the products less effective because, of course, it helps their cause.
      I also think Gyneva is a government funded organisation, similar to NAMAD, and are objectively researching the iris, which is why they have such in-depth knowledge of the interior of it. Crusader might simply be referring to a crusade _against_ the iris, instead of with it.
      But that's just my ideas.

    Whats interesting to me is that Gemini's logo appears to be Neptune itself, including the spot that it beams the storms or whatever from, and Gemini as a constellation is about a pair of twins.

      Since Gemini seems to be impartial to the whole Iris thing I'm thinking maybe Neptune is sentient just like the Iris but not necessarily a force of evil, perhaps it's dissapeared to avoid being detected by the Iris and is somehow trying to spread awareness about it to earth before it's too late.

So there’d be no reason to worry about what his face looked like for the actor. Theoretically however I’d assume that’s how it would look, the woodcrawler would have a straight calm face but be screaming bloody murder. The woodcrawler also does an occasionally twitch and doesn’t walk like a normal human and instead kind of hobbles like a zombie.

    It's so refreshing to experience a horror series that treats It's audience as intelligent individuals.

      @@potatoeskimos I don't think it's complicated. The story itself, while being sprinkled out throughout these uploads, is told clearly. There are the community posts, where some decently important information is, but with the audience of Gemini consisting of people who are used to way more hidden information in much more unlikely places in other horror series, it isn't that bad. The story itself isn't complicated either. There's a big space eye. It put spooky guys and plants and disease on planet. Takes over planet. Of course, maybe the way it's told isn't clear enough. If you want to get really specific, you have to dig deeper. But, again, you don't have to dig deep. The only time the series goes off youtube is with the video game, and the secrets there only referenced future uploads, so if you didn't play the game, you still got the info later on. I don't think it's trying "so hard" to be subtle. Especially about the woodcrawlers. They made it pretty clear where they came from (space) and what their goals are (to take over humanity.) enjoy the paragraph

      Coyotes are just freaky to begin with. It'll be quiet all night, and suddenly 2am you hear 1 coyote, then 2, then 10 all at once. And the closer they sound the freakier it is. All you can see is pitch blackness but somewhere close is a huge pack of animals that would have no problem tearing you apart in the dark. I don't go outside at night usually but when I do I at least have a handgun ready.
