Damn that is a scary game, hopefully no one in real life would be dumb enough to go into the deeps with a makeshift submarine that's clearly not designed to go that deep.
And hopefully is won't run on an Xbox controller
@@avanagenda5840 The US military uses Xbox controllers so I really don't think that's the reason for the implosion
@@osmanmadfrfr They made the hull out of carbon fiber which is really prone to implosion
They literally predicted the future
@@osmanmadfrfr they use it to control the periscope and not the entire sub
The game was pretty good but it had no item shop filled with funny bright colored skins 6/10

@@itszitchy Uh, that's what was meant by "the real submersible"
@@SStupendous24:09 this sub was one which recently imploded with I believe six people in.
Ironic that the PNG he used at 24:05 was literally the same as the tour sub that just imploded trying to dive down to see the Titanic... That was controlled by a cheap logitech controller... Did Pyro just predict the future??
It was a long time coming
This aged like wine
Oof that aged
Bro
Bro I screamed when I saw it like how did lil bro know 😭😭
I also think that the name "Iron Lung" also says a lot, because have you ever seen an actual iron lung? It's a huge machine with the same type of windows as the one that the ship has. I think the ship "Iron Lung" refers to humanity breathing on it's last resort. With an Iron Lung. And it failed.
nice

Game Maker: In my game I invented the Iron lung as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Iron lung from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Iron Lung
it makes it even better that pyro used a pic of the exact sub that just went missing
never
I think the most interesting thing about this game is how many levels of doomed the protagonist is. He is trapped in a submarine, which is itself trapped in an ocean of blood on an alien moon, which is inside of a universe where every planet and star that contained life dissappeared.
I mean, I feel sort of bummed at the end when the convict is killed moments before completing his mission, but its not like him or anyone else is surviving for much longer anyway
eh I think it kills a lot of the tension since everything about the opening text crawl is a giant blaring klaxon that says "YOU'RE GONNA GET JUMPSCARED BY SOME BIG MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS"
they make it clear you're not gonna survive, so naturally you wonder what's gonna kill you and since it's a horror game it's probably some big jumpscare monster. behold a giant fish jpg
I personally find the concept of the quiet rapture infinitely more terrifying than any big fish in a blood ocean
The idea of a silent mass extinction across the universe that nobody even witnessed is incredibly terrifying.
Exactly. I would even understand people becoming suicidal left and right, it would be hard to even have a motivation to live a life that is so uncertain to have anything in store for you. And you don't even know why it's like that.
i've also heard the theory that the blood ocean/s might have been formed from the blood of those who disappeared due to the quiet rapture
Would make a sick Movie or video game franchise.
@@rudorot65 That's exactly what I was thinking about the blood ocean.
The part that was partially said here, about the "Frog" not being hostile might as well be true. It is curious of you, it follows you and doesn't attack you untill you do a picture of its eye. And since the pressure is to high for you to have a open sight window, it means that it is a deep water being, not used to light and by taking the picture, you effectively flash bang it right in the face. That's when it becomes hostile and attacks you.
I don't think the "frog" is the same creature
like Pyro said, the eye looks too big for it to be the case
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 it's definitely an alligator or crocodile eye
I never took a picture of it.
I wish he tried frog in the data console, unless he did and it didn't have anything
I played through it after watching like 5 mins of the video, and when I got the notification something was close, I didn't think to photograph it. I thought my radar was just busted as the whole sub was falling apart, so I just let it keep beeping. Froggy boy still murdered me :(
I think another terrifying thing about this game is that the “quiet rapture” isn’t necessarily sending those raptured to a better place. Its named that by people who are left, who have no idea whats happened. Also, the blood moons are full of human blood. Like, blood presumably from the vanished humans. I dont know what that means but its terrible
There was a comment I read one time that said that perhaps it was the opposite that happened, people in spaceships and moons disappeared
24:06 I know it's a coincidence but damn how did this happen?
1. Google "small submarine"
2. Try to find a picture of submarine with white background from side for easy photoshop job
3. OceanGate provided such pictures in their propagation materials.
@@NeedForMadnessSVKty
I love how Pyro's character wears a face obscuring mask, and the audio is mixed correctly so that it actually sounds like he's wearing one. Unlike the last time he did voice acting,
The aliens are coming we’ve been compromised
Oh Colonel, we're so fucked...
He wanted to have it done right for once I feel and he fully deserves it.
Also Schlatt voicing the grey haired guy is hilarious
We don't talk about that...
"The quiet rapture" is still one if the scariest description for an apocalypse yet. Its like everyone vanished so fast that no one could even scream or make a sound. From the sound of it, it happened fast and without warning. Now thats a haunting thought.
@LEO&LAMB me when I lie
@LEO&LAMB ah shit I'm de-
apololypse
God created like 10+ billion perfectly cut scream clips
The scariest thing about this is that it's played by a furry and child groomer.
Something about the stars slowly vanishing in the background as the ship slowly floats forward, probably dead and without engine power is so immensely depressing. It's a small detail, but one that really ups the immersion and really makes you feel the desperation and despair that the last humans would've felt, even though you, as an observer, know they're most likely hopeless.
24:03 bro saw the future
This would make the perfect VR game
-only have to walk around the sub and press the buttons
-would make it even more scary
-it’s short and can easily run on any current VR Platform
Yes
Guarantee it’s possible to mod it if it’s not done already
YESSSS, goddamn this could be a vr game that would never be forgotten
@@zzeroara9511 I agree, but they would have to change the graphics to be hyper-realistic (which wouldn't be hard, the Iron Lung is tiny, also they wouldn't need to change the outside since it's all being photographed in shitty quality in-universe).
While the PS2 appearance works here, if it were in VR it would hold the game back by creating a level of visual dissonance.
garry's mod, you can guarantee someone in gmod has already done it, and gmod has vr support so there you have it
What strikes me the most about Iron Lung is that in most horror games, there's at least the hope that'll make it out alive and return to normalcy, but in Iron Lung there is no normalcy to return to.
Yeah, in a way the ending is a good alternative than to go back to the stagnant and decaying universe that is the setting
Cosmic Horror it is.
It’s just so scary to think about what it must be like to live in that universe. No sign of life anywhere. Slowly running out of resources floating through space until everyone on the ship inevitably dies.
good thing iron lung is a fictional world
@@uwnbaw the setting and lore yes
24:06 The absolute unintentional irony
The meme of "random internet user trying to be funny ---- Apollo with the gift of prophecy" applies so well to this now
tumblr is actually the oracle
What I like about small horror games is that they compensate for their size by really pushing the creativity.
Limitations breed innovation, it's a beautiful thing
Exactly! Like it may be small but it’s got a great personality I’m sure.

@@tomatoheadfd Markiplier was off of CZcams for like a month saying he was making a movie and later posted a trailer revealing it would be about Iron Lung.

This'll sound weird but personally the big fish being called "Frog" in the game files just makes the blood moon more terrifying. When we think of a frog we think of something small, cute, something that only really feeds on small insects and poses next to no danger to any even remotely bigger life forms on Earth. So if this colossal fish that tore a hole in your submarine to eat you is what's considered a frog down here so just think of what kind of monsters would prey on it.
It's even more horrifying when you see that one of skeletons is named "whale" in game files and you realize that there are even bigger and worse creatures that lurk in this blood ocean, since it takes a lot to take down such huge being like a whale. For all we know, that whale was eaten whole, and creature was so huge that the devoured whale basically swam in its guts and the skeleton was shat out.
There's always a bigger fish - Qui-Gon Jinn
@@RebelWvlf is it worse to consider that nothing has eaten the bones? Usually in the deep sea there are creatures that consume bones too.
I think that the name frog actually isnt calling it a frog, but rather the nickname given to a certain species of anglerfish called frogfish. Which mind you, are smaller than the average frog.
@@tinyghoul6598 So the name or nickname may infer that it's one of the smaller animals in the blood ocean, terrifying..
24:04 Peak Foreshadowing
24:04 this aged horribly
The developer note is so funny to me "you can run this" Like with all the games needing different graphics cards or this this and that to run the developer is just like "no matter what you have this game will work" is hilarious to me
You can literally play it on a toaster since it can handle the Z axis, a level of technology surpassing the game needs 👀
instead of "can it run doom" "can it run iron lung"
Can a smartwatch run Iron Lung?
@@Trainboyz1. problobly...no it can
You gotta be funny to work with New Blood, just read the extra details for Ultrakill, Gloomwood, and Dusk
Honestly, for 6 USD the game carries its worth in gold. Szymanski deserves every penny Iron Lung gets on Steam.
Well ummmmm it's not worth 6 rn let's get this straight, not even an opinion but it's just not 6
nah this game is not worth 6 dollars, you can buy cruelty squad instead for that price rn
@@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413 I'd rather not have a stroke thanks
@@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413 Cruelty Squad is 13 dollars on steam
Too much for a game that can be finished in 1 hour, and it has no replay value.
With what’s going on with the Ocean Gate submersible, it must be just as terrifying as the the story in this game
i think so too
not even close, nah
No way you used that sub at 24:04 💀💀

@@jr9529 well there's still 2 more subs left. And plenty of questions that need answering.
This is such an incredible universe. The fact that the stars that are dead are still visible because of the speed of light is such a good symbol of the hopelessness that everyone seems to feel. It's so cool.

@@adend1233 But you can also take comfort in the fact that there are living stars and that new stars will form. In this universe, that comfort is no more.
@@Akispark The fact that there is nothing at all except a few humans and some moons with oceans filled with blood is pretty cool in my opinion.
No f. way you used THIS in 24:03! AHAHAHAHA
25:00 was a level of foreshadowing to recent events that I did not expect to see in this video
😭
I really do like that this video is more of an “extended narrative” video than an analysis video. The little animated parts are great and help add to the minimal, yet essential, story of iron lung
pyro always switchin it up, keepin it fresh
Eh, i thought it was a little cringey and didn't really add anything great. But i guess it's good that he is trying new things
@@goese868 I have to agree. Maybe if he had paid a couple voice actors and maybe a writer to handle it, it would have fit the tone better and not sounded like slightly improved Hunt Down the Freeman dialogue
I feel the opposite, but I see your point. Until the last part, I thought and didn’t like Pyro’s “creative skits” around the game, but it was still entertaining.
@@goese868 The voice acting could obviously be better since getting CZcamsrs to voice act isn’t really a fantastic idea ever, but I did think schlatt actually had the best line reading out of everyone despite him just talking, it just felt the most natural
28:25 This stood out to me, the fish in Iron lung is called the "Frog" and in real life, patients who are in an iron lung must use a method to regulate oxygen which is called “Frog Breathing”
dev gonna make a post saying "lmao it's an allegory for polio, get fucked"
Frog Breathing?

I really hope that the fish we got attacked by is just a small, puny, low-tier creature trying to survive and there is indeed something A LOT bigger and A LOT more dangerous
And that’s exactly the case. You can tell that the eye that you take a picture of is a lot bigger than that fish. Its whole eye takes up the camera, and it’s reptilian most likely. That is the predator of the blood ocean, at least that’s what my theory is.
Me too
the eye seems to be on the side which is common in most prey in the wild so something much more bigger swimming in the sea is very possible
@@beansinspace1243 i dont think that counts for fish, barely any fish have front facing eyes.
The fish from the fotography seems to have its big eyes on the side and scaly skin, but the fish that attacked us (wich can be seen in the map) seems to have smaller front facing eyes and a different type of skin. Wich makes me believe that there is not one but TWO monsters there, and the smallest one was the one that attacked us.
24:04 The fact he used a picture of the Titan 11 months before it went missing?
the use of the submersible image at 24:07 did not age well...

Iron Lung is a perfect example of being scared of what you DON'T see.
The game constantly reminds you that there is something lurking outside of your submarine, but it never let's you know what it's intentions are, where it is and almost never let's you see it.
You are forced to let your imagination fill out the blanks of what could be out there, where it is and what it's intentions are.
Whatever your imagination conjours is far more terrifying than anything the game could ever throw at you
But that just leaves me wanting more, and I need more lore, it’s how I get off.
@@theblackswordsman5039 i do understand that, but i personally don't want more context behind this game and it's lore.
The fact that you know so little about anything in this game, is what makes it so scary.
The more you understand, the less you're scared and i would rather be scared

I finished iron lung yesterday, literally perfect timing. When I finished it I didn’t really think it was anything special, but only after the fact while I was laying in bed at night, did I realize just how well crafted the atmosphere was
That was me when i finished monster and realized how good it is

Fun fact: The “Whale” as it’s called or the more scaly creature is actually presumably herbivore and just kinda bumps into your way damaging the iron lung, which is how the more predatory “frog” or “angler fish” bursts through to kill you, at least according to the Iron Lung fandom wiki.
Such an interesting world with such terrifying elements… I hope we get to see more someday, even on other moons. Who knows what’s out there from what we’ve seen.
Edit: We getting a MOVIE 🔥
Hang if it’s a herbivore than what does it eat?
@@kumaruatlas9632 Well that’s the question, looking at the other dead whales teeth we see it’s primarily herbivorous with no signs of canines. This could lead us to believe there are forms of flora we haven’t yet to observe. Either that or it’s so hard to come by due to all the blood that explains why the others have all perished.

Iron Lung is one scare stretched out exactly as long as a single scare can be stretched. It doesn't overstay its welcome. It builds and builds and builds, it gives you the scare, and then it bows out because it knows that trying to carry on would take far more work and undermine everything that just came before.
It is expertly crafted horror.
horror games are one genre where "it's too short" doesn't work as a criticism
its interesting because theres a similar thing in dusk when the enemy "horror" is first shown where the first 2-3 minutes of the level is just key hunting until you open a door to a spiral staircased where you get attacked by a disgusting creature with an elongated face and wild sparatic limbs that seem only barely attached to its body. its interesting that even when he isnt making a horror game david szymanski still understands build up and pay off
@@orbrat212 don’t think it was criticism, more so a strength
@@pasta1549 I think they were just expounding the point
Storytelling (or experiences, in games like this where there really is no story) is a question of buildup and payoff. The length of the game doesn't actually matter, all that matters is the payoff is worth the buildup. In this case, there were very few elements to work with, as an intrinsic part of the game. You're 100% right that the game was the perfect length, because it was just long enough to make the maximum possible buildup for the payoff it gave.
24:03 oh no bro...
Did pyro really use a pic of the Titan sub at 24:08? What a jinx man.
He fucking predicted it
I feel like one of the most important reasons why this game is so terrifying is because all the odds are stacked up against you from the beginning and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
it plays up that lingering bit of hope which humans innately have and retain even in the worst situations. You know you're gonna die, but that sense of hope hardwired into your brain prevents you from accepting it and finding peace.
some days ago there was an holocaust survivor talking at our uni, he said something that went like "the worst part wasn't the hunger, the beatings or the summary executions. It was the torture of being only able to think about the life all of this, knowing that there was a near 100% chance you weren't going to live it"
That’s true for alot of horror games. Dead space, Resident Evil and such are all huge odds pitted against you
Hmm.
Gee.
Look at the date.
@@navaryn2938it's always a holocaust survivor. That shits old and over used why not a Cambodian genocide survivor.
Prolly because universities only get the money from... you know
Kafkaesque
My brain saw the monster and immediately went "Angler Fish", triggering my memories of Finding Nemo and making the game 10x more scary than it already is.
damn that scene scared me as a child

Outer Wilds :)
Made me think of the angler from Soma
finding nemo is way scarier at parts than it has any right to be
24:06 the part your looking for.
No one was
24:10 is that the sub that imploded
Yeah
The idea that suddenly, everyone and everything on a celestial body just disappeared and there wasn't even a scream is terrifying.
It would be interesting if the planets, stars etc. got transported to a sort of hell of other realm where blood moons are a thing.
could also be a situation where everyone was destroyed and all the human remains appeared on these moons.
creepy AF anyways
My personal thoughts is not that the planets disappeared, but that the starships and spacestations were instead transported to some hellish dimension
@@japyap6129 oh, didn't think of that, even creepyier then, I wonder what will be shown in the next update or game
I was imagining the worlds suddenly without moons, all spaceships (and therefore majority of communications between planets) gone, tidal disaster across the board of any planet with water--they'll survive, but at what cost?
I always thought it seemed like they didn't get raptured but everyone in the game got taken to hell complete with blood oceans
@@japyap6129 That's kinda what i think. Imagine suddenly all the spaceships and the people on them just disappear. No warning for it. by the sound of it, the humans that were on the spaceships don't sound the best so maybe they were sent to some hell dimension. That's just has terrifying because the people of the ships think all the plants and stars disappeared, when only they did.
Anyways here's some secrets I saw from watching others play:
if you go take a picture of the humming monolith, the sub will be destroyed "strangely" - no fishy, but like you crashed, but there will be strange static before you're sent to the menu
Another secret is, when going into the narrow cave to get to the shiny, the walls have very faint humanoid face texture overlays
Wow I never know that
Wow I never know
Wow I never
Wow I
Wo
24:09 pyro is a clairvoyant.
24:04 The simulation is confirmed
Plus imagine how grungy and disgusting the spaceships must be. Like these things are made out of iron. All the oxygen and moisture from the people living on them means oxidisation would set in quickly and turn it all to rust, making it look like the iron lung itself. Imagine living on there, starving with no hope whatsoever, some freedom huh?
surprised the whole colony isn't dead from tetanus
the iron lung was said to have been made of scraps from the ship, so its very likely the ships are rusty.

this feels like the people who disappeared went to heaven or something, and the people left behind are like the people who would go to hell, but like, this IS hell, ya know?
That's be cool but it could also be something like a powerful black hole or space anomaly that quickly collected everyone else.
Like a star's gravitational force being so fast that everyone is gone in a vanish with the survivors just being lucky
Yeah my theory is that it's some kind of "exchange" between different universes with all of the people on the planets going into the foreign one and the blood moons coming from there. Whether the live forms from our universe arrived in the other one as whole, living organisms or as their own kind of blood moons is another question though..
@@Balotovi if thats true then the people that got swapped over to the blood moon’s original universe, they could been transported to a cosmic and Lovecraftian horror by now, meaning that the survivors in the original are the lucky ones

Incident reminded me of the game.
One of the best ways to tell horror: "LESS IS MORE!". Let the viewers imagination scare them!
That’s why for my horror game I will not make a horror game yes

24:05 pyro predicted titanic submarine, he used the titan subamrine model
DAWG WHAT 24:04
Actually, what they probably mean by "how it can maintain its liquid form" is the fact that blood is mostly just water, which would normally just freeze in space, on moons, as it's really cold out there, especially with all of the stars gone, incuding the system's main star(s), considering it even had any. Coagulation only begins when a certain protein in blood comes in contact with oxygen, which in space, is not a problem, since there just ain't any.
Good video though, I just felt the need to point out.
More creepy is the fact that from what I heard, it's made of HUMAN blood.
Perhaps it's just very salty water, in Antartica there is a waterfall of red water that is so salty it just won't freeze
Its a multi-fold issue.
It has to be warm enough to not freeze
Yet it also needs sufficient atmospheric density to not sublimate (phase change into vapor/gas).
And of course, coagulation.
@@heinzguderian628 I don't think that's the case. It is stated to be made of human blood, which in my oppinion means that it's composition is the same as human blood, which is not all that salty. Also, temperatures in space are very low, especially since stars aren't around anymore. Like, 0 Kelvin cold, which is way colder than Antarctica.
Pyro saw the open ended bits of the lore and went "Fine, I'll do it myself!"
And I love him for it. Those sections were great!
Same
I love the animated segments in this, it adds a lot to the atmosphere of the video too

I hope he never stops making these videos on obscure games. I'd never play it tbh, but its so damn interesting in video form.

I love how Pyro can explain the scariest part of the game and still throw a half second of a meme into it

You know, for a substance as thick and nontransparent as blood, the camera does a pretty good job of seeing what's in it
Probably uses sonar or some other low resolution but high intensity scanning. Showing things closer as brighter and further away as darker to create a seeable image. Light and visible radiation certainly isn't a factor.
Blood is not that thick, it's thicker than water but that's not saying much.

24:07 This video is almost a year old what did Pyro know
I for one thank Pyro (Very Rare). Need to see more sabotages like it by him
I think it’s also the fact that even tho it’s in a high fiction setting, it feels very real and close to home, the sea is made of blood, you’re put in something incredible unsafe and being sent on an expedition you’re completely unprepared for, and you control the submarine in a way that feels like you don’t actually control it at all, that alone feel scary
As an American getting incarcerated is very realistic
Wow, a horror game which isn't secretly in your mind and is just an analogy for depression?
How brave of you Pyro, stepping out of your regular content to bring us something new.

I remember pyro saying in a stream he was worried about the reaction to him doing animations and skits in his videos would have but this honestly made for the best pyro video yet, adding so much more to the video when theres only so much to talk about with a game like iron lung. Very nice.
It's not for me, but I respect the time, effort, and talent put into those sections.
It was confusing for me and a little bit cringy but it definitely isn't a bad thing and I like now how it adds more content.
I thought they were good, but I can see how some people may not like them…
don't know if its his best vid but the acting was a little over mid
The animated skits are better then fan fic comic dubs.
I love games that utilize "The Fear of the Unknown". And what better way of doing that. Then just not letting you see where to go XD

I can't let you stop the Orcas from killing the Billionaires, Miles... It's a canon event.
Returned to this a year later for “haha, titan expedition” but holy shit, Colossal and Schlatt are legitimately good voice actors. Even Pyro is doing a super fucking good job, between this and “the aliens are coming” it’s night and day. Surprisingly superb job to all the CZcamsrs cameoing in this.
viva pinata is a GREAT game.
I love how instead of just doing another analysis and breakdown of Iron Lung, you added your own unique elements to your video such as the animated and voice-acted parts. Every video is truly better than the last.
Yeah and jschlatt is in it
Jschlitty was in it
yes fr
this is the kind of quality content youtube was made for it literally was a blast watching this video :)
This whole game, the lore, the actual gameplay, and everything is such a great combination of creative horror elements. My favorite part has to be when you find the letter and you get near the end, you know it’s probably going to end badly for you but you still have to actively move your ship toward the last marker. You know it’s out there. You know it’s coming. You can’t just step away from the terminal and wait for it to get to you, you have to keep going closer…
It’s much more effective in building tension to the final jumpscare than a typical monster chase sequence.
It also kind of reminds me of the sequence in FMA:B where Ed and Ling get stuck in a void dimension with an endless sea of blood, especially with the ruins of buildings and the confirmation from the lore that the blood is definitely human. 10/10 nightmare fuel, the idea that something like this is humanity’s last hope for survival in a post-rapture universe is just fantastic.
Nice comment! I love FMA (both 03 and Brotherhood), and I like your thoughts on all of this. Take care :)
i am so glad im not the only one who thought of Ed and Ling being stuck inside of Gluttony when they saw this game
If you like that kind of experience, you should try "Darkwood"
