Thanks for exploring the liminal gallery! I finally had some time to watch this video, and was quite surprised, at how well you were able to interpret my creations, like the hard to explain feeling of being "alone together" and feeling of being lost in a gallery or cinema. This map would not have been made if i never found your channel and you have way more influence on the liminal spaces genre than you think you have. Also im working on a sequel to this map centered more around interacting with the "strange metal object" which for now remains nameless, hope to release it soon.
can the metal object be named daryl
@@bigboyskater-koi Or Nick.
@Calypso For the vine
Pround of you :3
I once got lost in an art gallery as a kid and it felt a bit like this.
I'm not sure what's worse to get lost in, A normal art gallery or a modern/abstract "art" gallery.
@@mariahmayers8869 A modern one
@@GodlyGaming96 In my opinion, probably an abstract "art" gallery, Even though modern and abstract "art" is basically the same shit.
@@mariahmayers8869 modern art is a money laundering scheme
I just realized that without finding your channel i don't think I would have seen any more gmod horror map content since years ago because most of it from what I remember was a group of people running into jumpscares but nothing intellectually provoking, not that a good jumpscare isn't fun now and then.
I bet you have seen the nextbot videos
@@yoshui the nextbots are a dumb trend it’ll die very fast.
@@RedHeavy- Yeah I hope so. Just from a horror game developer perspective nextbots are very unfair. They always know where you are and are hardly evadable in some situations.
@@yoshui yeah and it’s dumb lol
@@yoshui I'm sure deep game design concepts and fairness were what they had in mind when they decided to make a giant shitty MS paint sonic chase you around a map lol
41:17 On that note of AI generated architecture, there is this science fiction manga series named BLAME! where the setting is created by machines that has gone out of control and started to construct massive buildings placed haphazardly, connected by long walkways and corridors that serve no stretches on seemingly forever. Different parts of humanity are spread so far across this harsh and vast structure that they could never meet within their lifetimes. The main character is a non-human character who walks through this megastructure for years or even centuries on end, hoping to come accross what he is searching for.
If we someday get AI to generate 3D maps for us in the same manner, we would truly have a pure and infinite liminal space generator.
someone should make a blame! map in gmod.
@@GutsVod there was a two-part blame! map for the obsidian conflict mod
This is like a form of therapy almost. Idk why. I’m stuck inside with Covid so I’ve been binge watching your videos last few days since I can’t explore places myself rn
Hope you get better soon! This is exactly what I think about The Librarian when he documents the experience of each map, from which I really adore the approach.
feel exactly the same way tbh, I watch every video the second I see it all the way through
@@scopetag I’m pretty fine now. I just need to be tested again. But it sucked for the first few days. Like a bad head cold/ sinus infection
Get well soon!
Covid still a thing? I thought Putin put the switch on off.
Love this, it's very clearly inspired by Superliminal and the Stanley Parable
I’m so happy someone caught the superliminal parts, thanks mate!
i did like the part where they took the cloud thing straight from superliminal, and also the museum element from the stanley parable
The hot air balloon painting at 5:04 is often used in eye exams, I don’t know what the machine is used for but it’s interesting seeing the photo out of place as it caught me off guard
yeah it scared me shitless because on my last eye exam I saw that picture
The original jump scare that everyone with non-perfect eyes has had to experience. I am quite shocked that he did not comment about it when he saw it.
This map takes SO many cues from Portal 2, Superliminal, and the Stanley Parable, and I LOVE IT for that!! Those games always give me such a certain vibe, not quite liminal but it's something about the non-euclidean nature of them...
It sure does! Thanks for noticing the superliminal inspiration, not many people got that.
Gmod VR content is so entertaining.
13:16 Let's pull out our handy flashlight.
14:12 seems realistic
18:01 the council
I didn't know you'd call it a council too, lol
19:32 cursed mirror
19:55 spooky
20:34 I agree, once when I went out of the cinema after watching Sonic movie 2 I didn't believe it was daylight
21:05 One of the most useful doors on the universe
epic
and also
12:55
no i mean 20:55
Speaking of your influence on the genre, you certainly got me interested (I mean, more than I was) in the "creepy & comfy" and noted some very specific aspects of what makes a good, atmospheric space. It eventually drove me to make a Minecraft adventure map which explores these concepts. I'd love it if you played it some time on your channel (I did recommend it on Discord but I think it got drowned in milions of other requests).
I also like building liminal spaces in Minecraft.
I am 99.99% sure The Librarian has thalassophobia of some kind
Every single map with water in it, it just seems like The Librarian mentally ragdolls wading in the waters
Edit: i stand still correct at the end of the video
I am 99.99% sure that all humans must have some kind of thalassophobia to some degree. I maybe have this feeling only because of my phobia for sharks and the ocean when I was younger but... Oceans may not scare everybody but DEEP waters and also the Unknown. Imagine being the first to explore a new depth or area of an ocean, never explored before. It feels like its almost impossible for a human being not to be afraid of what they will find.
@@staffelgren4508 It could be equal parts fear of water and the unknown
But my theory is this; I think it’s less that humans fear the water itself, but more of unknown creatures in a place where air to survive is limited, and the fear of being trapped with who-knows-what while trying to swim up to breathe is the real terror of the deep
4:06 Quite literally. That water could just be a few hammer units deep and it'll still break the fall.
Turn it into Portal water and you have a death pit (:
8:16 is that the name button room from the stanley parable ultra deluxe
The layout of that room is exactly that. I expected a more clear reference to that game. But several areas seem to be inspired by Stanley Parable. It does have a lot of inspiration for liminal spaces after all.
hi there! would you like to sing my petition?
I Knew I wasn't the only one. This seems to be very inspired.
Shush on that. Regardless of how small, that's still spoilers.
@@Techhunter_Talon 1. It's been out for a long time and the hype has died down. if you haven't played it it's on you.
2. only people who have played this will even understand what that means.
3. Many people have 'spoiled' the first game by making references to easter eggs like the broom closet and nobody blinked an eye.
4. the comment only spoiled the room, not even the joke about the room, so there's literally no substance to the spoiler.
24:27
That is a vital element in spelunking: looking back at where you came from, frequently . . . for the return trip, although it will be upon the same path you took into the cave, the surroundings often look completely different when traversed in the opposite direction. Looking back frequently will provide you with the visuals as how each section should look upon your return.
Spaces like the one at 8:13 and the like have made me realize that the game Control relies pretty heavily on the concept of liminal spaces.
If not the empty, massive offices of the bureau, then the equally humungous atriums and other rooms all have this eerie liminal aesthetic. Well, when you're not shooting at possessed people and anomalous beings they do.
My one wish is to wipe my own memory and replay control again. I love that game for the exact reasons you’re talking about.
@@taylorschwarz241 Ikr? If I could go back and play it, but this time focus on the story and not get sidetracked with exploring every nook and cranny for notes, that would be epic.
Control levels would be a great fit for this channel, but they'd really annoying to record with constant spawns, sometimes back to back. Also the red cave from DLC with the astral plane white "sky".
@@Cockdonut I wouldn't mind a "Tour Mode" similar to what some of the Assassin's Creed games do, taking out enemies and letting players explore in more games.
The way you talk feels so satisfying for some reason, it feels like you only ever talk with purpose and oh boy do you have some purpose to spare
I've only played this map in the LIDAR gamemode with my friend and the big catwalk room that you spawned in was much weirder without being able to see the paintings, especially when it's your first and only experience with the map.
same with the hole at the end
5:29 This seems to be a Superliminal reference! It's a great game that while not being a horror game has some really creepy elements and interesting themes.
This is more like a collection of different Liminal Spaces being combined together. It's like you're stuck in such kind of Museum and you've kept seeing those paintings everywhere you go. I will thank to the creator for putting his effort to this map. I love the atmosphere and the design looks fitting which is the map is so realistic. As always keep doing your job Lib
I think the common thread of kid-targeted scary stories involving the kid going where they arent suppose to
I think that's more subtle propaganda from the grown ups than it is a thing that actually scares kids
It feels like Christmas ever time Mr. Library uploads Gmod maps
I love the part where Lib gets surprised when he sees his profile at the table. Keep doing your best Lib
Librarian, I've noticed something about you the more I watch your videos, me and you have a very similar perspective on things. for example at 30:30 when you mentioned the "everyone alone together" I absolutely love that interaction, especially with my girlfriend. and in general i can relate and easily comprehend all the ideas that come to your mind when you enter a room, or explain how a place makes you feel. I don't think ive felt that about another youtuber before. i very much enjoy the videos, and you have a subscriber for life
I was just scrolling through your channel looking for a video to listen to and take a nap to, and when I wake up, a new one has appeared!
just little comments like entering that principals office like area and saying "you wanted to see me sir?" make me crack up a bit, the sort of subtle humor like that in this type of a video is what makes me always come back for more content, also the commentary and spooked moments are just gold much like your humor
Oh i'm so glad you did this video!
I was one of the people that requested a video about this map, there is so much things and paths to explore on that.
Plus, I KNOW you would jumpscare at the cafeteria mirror, haha. And the dark void room, all mental preparation to dive into the unknown... just to realize that there is a invisible wall "protecting" you from that.
Now just after watching this video i had an epiphany that the strange scene at film set (12:00) reminds me of SCP-173 (all those lights and props oriented as if they were "watching" the weird object, as if one of they turns the back to it will be attacked).
Nothing other thing than a great video would be the result of this.
5:35 i find this fascinating, because the game 'superliminal' uses this exact trick multiple times, very unique and enjoyable game i will say!
16:40 Its ALMOST a really nice room if the door wasn't wide open and the only thing I could see if a pitch black void hallway. That took me right back into my childhood. Really should of went to the bathroom before 3am.
4:36 I remember the concept art museum from the King Kong video game. Highly recommend btw, very good game, cool extra museum.
I personally love the idea of game art galleries- the fact that with a game you can not only display the artwork but you can also allow the person to play through the artwork
a.e you can make a liminal space art gallery dedicated to photos of liminal spaces, or a non-euclidean building to display artwork themed on optical illusions.
I also love your pondering on realization that you are "The Scary Thing".
It would be cool if there was a story of an alien, like the typical gray, realizing that he is "The Creppy Thing" and trying to midigate that because he just wants to talk not make a person shit their pants
I can't wait until someone does an equivalent to those AI images at the start, but with 3D objects, and then spaces. Imagine you give that kind of AI every model of a regular suburban house you can find, amd then let it make its own.
This map gives me real SupraLiminal vibes.
God that water room made my heart sink a bit
>commenting great video as always before clicking play
I have to admit, when i saw the super high ceiling room, my first thought was the jim button
the librarian is oddly like an asmr channel it gives me the asmr tingles when i listen to him talking
The depiction of liminal spaces in 12:09 was so beautiful. You really are the king of explaining yourself or a feeling.
I have an index and you inspired me to redownload gmod to fulfill my urbex cravings while i can't irl, and something interesting is how you always talk about dreams/memories with these maps, i explored this map in vr just a weeks ago without knowing about this video (obviously as it wasn't released) yet as im watching this video now im remembering when i experienced it in vr as if i watched it as a video from you. Some things though like the painting of the hot air balloon above a road from hell (if you know, you know) i clearly remember it as if i was there.
Maybe i just watch too much youtube
Damn these maps are getting higher quality. It's incredible how atmospheric and intricate they are
Don't know why, but that 'beware of dog' moment with the melon had me ROLLING
I love how genuine you are with your commentary, like it doesn't feel like you're acting it up
"I prefer to have my own cozy little shoebox to sleep in."
The Librarian is definitely a cat. Guess that cat that worked at a library who outlasted the councilman who wanted them gone started a youtube channel.
I love watching you get bigger and bigger I’ve been a fan for a couple years now and I love the gmod vids 🕯
I love these exploration videos so much, keep up the amazing content!
If you genuinely want a proper Liminal Space gallery, old spaces is definitely a great map for you as it features most of the liminal pictures perfectly recreated there.
It really is a high quality map and works really well in VR.
As always, your content helps me to feel a bit better with my depression, thank you so much
i really like watching your vids, i don't necessarily focus on the whole video, but i can listen to it like music at night when i write. it's cool
Im so glad i found this channel because it got me through a lot of tough times at school and surprisingly i never stopped watching even after school, usually i get bored of a channel after a few weeks.
Love your stuff man...as stated before by another, I'd agree and say this is some type of therapy, a sense of calm and eas that also keeps me waiting for "that moment" to make me jump lol
I got so excited when you first posted this video since I love this map so much. I've been coming back to listen to the audio from this video during work ever since. Borderline asmr/ therapy
I always love watching your videos, very entertaining to watch
i found your channel while i was sick, i love how calming and interesting your videos are!
That room with the high ceiling is clearly taken/inspired from the Stanley parable (2)
Love your content, keep up the great work!
I use to watch your videos when i worked in nightshift. Your outloud kind of thinking got me through those lonely boring hours lol. Keep it up
Bring more videos exploring liminal spaces, i love to watch Them. Waiting for more, you r doin a good work bro
Librarian got me into gmod and I love how many maps I download have something in the description about being inspired by Librarian; love your vids man!
Since getting Gmod in 2015, I have only ever done a complete subscription wipe twice, and currently have over 1000 addons. The total size is about 50 GB. That's about 40 GB in addons alone.
I imagine being stuck in a scary location with the librarian is worse than being there alone. You see something kinda creepy and you think 'geez that's pretty spooky' and then he goes 'hey imagine if you just suddenly saw a head pop around the corner and disappear just before you could make out what it was' and you're like 'wow thanks'
I only just realised that I’ve been watching these videos everyday but I wasn’t even subscribed. I was wondering why I wasn’t being recommended your videos as much as other channels, definitely subscribed now!
I find it unsettling how the giant boardgame pin at 10:35 doesn't cast a shadow despite being directly lit from multiple bright lamps.
10:56 that was so heartwarming, I'd die for the Librarian
I really like these videos they are very comforting for some reason
I absolutely love how much you overthink things, how deep into your own head you go
Honey wake up!!! The Librarian released new liminal content! (Also I highly recommend trying out the map uncannyvalley. It gave me chills!)
It’s always librarian getting jumpscared that jump scares me
I really enjoy liminal space maps and videos… I’ve been on a really big backrooms kick recently. Love this kind of stuff.
I love your content I hope you continue to make amazing content! Also I love the commentary
9:29 And here we have our dear Librarian taking a massive amount of psychic damage.
The sculpture looks like one of the pegs you put into the cars in the board game The Game of Life.
i absolutely love the space theme / movie theatre one!
9:28
I wasn't expecting that moment of genuine panic
another great vr vid by the librarian!
Perfect timing! A big storm just hit where I live 😊
As someone who loves the idea of liminal spaces and large un purposeful rooms your vid’s are awesome also, I know you’ve probably been asked this before but it would be cool to see you use a heart monitor on a gmod horror map or a horror game :)
The "museum" section from Voudspaces was replicating spaces from Kane Pixels famous "Backrooms Found Footage" video!
This map is basically superliminal in gmod.
This is probably the best liminal map ive ever seen. very inspired.
1:34 hell yea man keep it up live your vids keep them comeing ❤❤❤❤❤
It feels like a field trip to a museum and departing from the group out of curiosity.
It's also strange when your deep in a building with no windows you seem to louse track of time.
35:30 For some reason, I half expected you to open that door and step out onto the 'film set' from around 10:36 - revealing that the metal object was the same one from before and that you had just been 'in' the set itself
3:16 the way ai and computers generate images is a fascinating thing, for some they do it just how you describe, they take in an obscene amount of data, and then kinda vomit out something based on a prompt, but for more advanced programs they actually are capable of generating entirely original images through some really complicated computer stuff I don’t really understand(they encode the image into data they can understand, think of it like our brains turning the signals from light into an image we can understand), but heavily simplified, these more advanced ais are capable of a kind of imagination where they can visualize a prompt and turn it into an image for us to see, stuff like dalle 2 and googles imagen can make incredibly cohesive images where the “intent” behind the image is clear to see, though they can struggle with smaller details
Librarian should really player Nipper's maps. Dude's the god of liminal space
16:52 I also jumped a bit when i saw my reflection back when i played this map.
Though the spook wasnt that much since i was using Megaman.EXE as my playermodel.
So imagine that door opening, but you're welcomed by a friendly boy smiling instead.
The room at 39:51 feels like the living room of your Mexican babysitter's house that you went to when you were around 4 years old.
6:33 Ah, mirrors! Gets 'em every time!
I'd like to recommend a map called "an_arcade". It's small, will only take about fifteen minutes to explore, is relatively obscure despite having 6,000 subscriptions. It's also one of the greatest and most absurd liminal space maps on the workshop.
Luv ya Librarian
The second I saw your logo on the table a few days ago I knew you’d play this immediately
Your channel is a gem
Honey, wake up. The Librarian posted another video
Him: (31:55) "I'm not playing House Flipper right now"
Me: literally playing House Flipper while this video plays. 🤯
14:40 Imagine coming across a wild librarian squatting in the corner lol
Imagine a map where you would go to sleep after a long days of work or something along those lines and wake up in a dream. Like a fever dream where you go to different liminal and bizarre places. Just seams like a map like that could have a lot of potential.
This is a nice video to watch as I'm sitting in a chair moments from falling asleep. Didn't fall asleep though! That was NOT my intention.
Love the usage of the Alan Wake model. Would honestly enjoy hearing your thoughts on that game and Control.
neat map, love the idea of a gallery like this.
the way you talk about dreams has been making me wonder, have you ever played the original yume nikki? if not, i think that'd be a fun video
Your voice is so calming
Hi there Librarian! This channel is a true discovery, congrats!!!! BTW, I wonder wich VR system should one purchase right now? Tkx!!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was subscriber number 17388. And all I want is to see Mr. Librarian succeed in everything he does. Hell, If he ever starts a video with a sponsorship statement for RAID Shadow Legends or male enlargement products I’ll probably buy it.
0:34 take a look at his fingers.
It only happens for like half second btw.
5:02 this painting reminds me of pictures used in eye doctor equipment, with the blue sky and green fields sandwiching a path that leads to a red object
so, it *is* the image?
