Jimmy is the embodiment of ''smart fella by day, fart smella by night.''
Lol
Why is this so true
"Inside of everyone is two wolves, one is a smart fella... and the other is a fart smella..."
he farted😨😩
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This got me. Well. Done.
I like imagining that Jimmy just strolls around after knocking you out, placing your items in random rooms while he waits for you to wake up.
i imagine it as him fiddling with the 9,000 pounds of stuff in your pockets while wandering around, and every time he gets bored he just yeets it into a random room and pulls something else out
Toying around with you a little before killing you
Jimmy doesn't murder Maya at all (even in the save friends level) cause he holds his Hugo Punch personality to do so. After we're knocked out by him and wake up, we can hear him crying in the background and shouting: "Why are you doing this?!".
And in the end, when we discover where Hugo Hall's body went to, he appears and says to us he doesn't want us to leave at all. Considering that he was reported for "roping one of the female guests", you can imagine which things he ACTUALLY wanted to do with Maya, and it's even scarier than death.
@@peachesandcream22 Yeah definitely, it’s amazing how this game goes a bit deeper with its theme, the fact that they don’t downright kill you, like your typical horror games do (not to say its remotely bad to make your horror game be like that), It gives more depth to who your dealing with. I also consider it a very unique attribute about this game. (also quick verification, by the time i wrote my reply i was still watching the entirety of the video, just to clarify that so you know at the time i wasnt fully speculating too much but either way, I like the way you describe the themes of the game)
“Hmmm, If I was Maya where would I not check? Aha! Room 123, wait no- nevermind that’s too obvious, maybe 212?”
Honestly impressive how she never messes up putting the keys in the keyhole. If I was being chased and hit on the head repeatedly, I would definitely fuck up putting the keys in the keyhole.
Heck I fuck up putting the keys in the keyhole even under normal conditions.
Plus, with it being kind of an old hotel, you'd think some of the locks might be stubborn to unlock
That would be abysmal to play with. Imagine being perfect in your reaction speed, and losing because of something out of your control.
technically you aren't actually ever hit on the head. The whole getting smacked isn't actually apart of the story technically.

Watch pinneapple fish sue all scientists that study the pinneaple fish
Just to clarify something that doesnt get well explained in the video. Jimmy does not have DID, he is posessed by his father's ghost i.e. Hugo Punch. The reason as to why spiff didn't come to that conclusion when he asked about the DID was because we don't allow spoilers and he had to find out the possession by himself. We told him what it wasn't and people said that Jimmy was just "insane" but not what the real reason was.
Hope this helps clarify some things
He did say that in the video tho…
@@CorgiShark in 1:17:42 (approximately) it gets brought up. Chat informs him that it says he doesn't in the menu.
(In reply to OP
I wanna say as a DIDOSDD system I'm super glad this game was written and, trusting chat with this one, let people know they aren't the same. I am so tired of the possesion = didosdd. I don't possess the body, I'm just part of that funny little malformed ego state thing I got from funny accidents in childhood LMAO
@@DarkRainbowSparkleAJ When this game first came out I was so worried it was going to go down that route to... or it wouldn't get super clarified and people would just go "Its DID" and the game would get added to the list of things that perpetuate that good alter, bad alter trope.
so I'm also so happy that this didn't happen and chat clarified it almost immediately when there was confusion.
@@karabelle617 DID?
Why does everyone bring this up when nobody cares it's a game we know it's not real get over it.
one thing i noticed during the end part is that the quicker the friends scream after you send them out, the closer Jimmy is to you. definitely helps with navigating across the floor afterwards.
Jimmy isn't killing her friends either, he's just scaring them (like you can hear him laughing and shit after they scream.) it's like he's so focused on Maya specifically that he doesn't care enough to actually deal with them.
oh no, they uh, they die
@@csgosh-tter They don't die
@@peachesandcream22IIRC when you beat the game but some of them are seen, the game says “3/5 friends escaped” or something similar. Even if they don’t die, I certainly don’t expect to see them in At Dead Of Night 2 lol
@@csgosh-tter But didn't it say all friends escaped in Astral's winning run, even though a few screamed?
@@damienearl8302 if they scream they are safe since they encountered Jimmy, not attacked by him, they can die if Jimmy is at the stairs when they get there(floor 3 is probably hell).

This game is one that Markiplier himself actually enjoyed so much he still remembers it to this day. I think At Dead of Night deserves way more attention, when I played the game it was terrifying, anxiety inducing, and all-around a fantastic experience!
Didn’t he also beat it half-backwards and make it way more complicated by accident lol I’m glad he enjoyed it
@@SlamDunkPyro he spent the entire game not realizing that the mechanic that gives you little hints as to what to do also tells jimmy where you are
Yesss!
@@destruktow5891 wait the mirror reveals your location? Or the ghost thingy?
@@destruktow5891 I've heard that that theory of the mechanic telling jimmy where you are in the game was a hoax.
The creators of this game have specifically said that Jimmy doesn't have DID, rather, he's being posessed by the spirit of Hugo
That is such a nice change of pace from the usual ableist lazy writing trash
More like influenced, because even without the haunting Jimmy is still a very troubled kid that pretty obviously cannot fit on
@@theshermantanker7043 maybe the trauma helped Hugo
Maybe they said that after they realised that having a character with DID be a sociopath wasn't a good idea. I don't see why they'd put a whole text in the menu talking about DID if that wasn't the initial concept
@@leafy_luca My guess would be since there is such a large stereotype of the 'evil alternate personality' with DID that they didn't want it to be associated with
Read an online guide. One of the survival techniques is to never turn around, always go forward unless you literally cannot get to your destination any other way (such as on floor three), or unless moving forward 1 more spot would bring you to Jimmy's current position. Remember, outside of bedroom Jimmy can only bonk you as a jump-scare. Even if he's literally right behind you, he will only bonk you if you turn around (though he might force you around if you stand still). Aside from getting bonked while hiding in a bathroom or wardrobe, he will only bonk you if you come to his position AND are facing in his direction. This also means that if you see him poke his head out ahead of you, as long as you have at least 1 forward movement you can make before reaching his position, he still can't hit you and you're safe to move forward one more time. This is particularly useful knowledge for the elevators, because if you see him poke his head out at the other end of the elevator room, as long as you just turn to the elevators and press the call button and do not turn back to the side, Jimmy won't bonk, though you will get the minor scare of him watching the elevator door close. This also works for the stairs, which shouldn't be neglected. Stair keys can be a useful secondary tool to give you a second escape route from a floor. Note that while Jimmy can't hide in the stairs nor enter them while Maya is inside of them, he CAN hide just outside of them and see you coming up the stairs.
He never even used the stairs in this video. Interesting that different strategies can be used for its most difficult mode and there isn't a meta.
@@skarloeythomas5172 Just watched a few more videos, and as it turns out, when you are in the hallway and Jimmy knows where you are, if there is a way he can circle around to get to you, he has a chance to do this instead, otherwise he will just wait for you to come to him. If you are at a dead end, this is literally all Jimmy can do. You can stare straight in the direction he's trying to come from and that will lock him in place. Your only option at this point is to hide in a room to evade him.
The reason why repeatedly turning and spinning around is so dangerous If Jimmy has seen you, every time you change which direction you look, Jimmy takes a movement opportunity to come one space closer to you. If he was only one space away, you will get bonked unless you only turned around once and immediately started running the opposite way.
To note, Jimmy is slower than Maya, so she will always be able to out-run him, even when it says, "Jimmy can be heard moving quickly." Typically when Jimmy is moving quickly, it's because he knows where Maya is and is trying to circle around to get to her rather than waiting in place.
@@indigothecat Yes I realise this too. I’ve seen the guy on CZcams testing interactions, like locking Jimmy in place. If he apparently circled around, like on the second floor, he should make a squeak or shuffle to signify his moving into your kill radius, and then he forces the camera to confront him.
That’s how the game works, it’s like chess, and Maya is the superior piece. Jimmy seems to recoil or withdraw around a corner at a two or three move distance, and now Maya is in his line of sight and not safe (red bars). But Maya can move toward him up to a one-move distance, since Jimmy does not attack if he does not occupy the same position as Maya, either by stepping into him, or his delayed forced confrontation.
Jimmy’s jump scares in the one-move radius seem to only ever be shadows from around the corner, and not his person. Sometimes there aren’t any jump scares, and he is simply hiding in the corner, and I fail to see how Jimmy can be detected when this happens, as he does not peek at a one-move distance.
His cue for being in a zero-move radius is the leather twist, shuffle or fabric scrunch noise, and Maya needs to not face him directly but move out of that radius to prevent the delayed confrontation from occurring. So Maya is a bishop and can escape rapidly from the single move Jimmy, but he’s not that slow or stupid.
He still has a good idea of the room to scrutinise, as in chasing Maya he is reestablishing lines of sight within the two to three move radius of corner peeking, allowing him to often see the room Maya escaped into, unless Maya really got far away and the environment was too confining.
Then, the sequence will play of Jimmy walking briskly past the spyglass, or slowly if Maya evaded him so well his threat level was completely minimised and his regular roaming behaviour returned.
So Harvey's story and Dr Bose's overlap, meaning that Jimmy was still pretty young. Like an early teenager or even tween perhaps, especially if he was collecting stories on teachers in his scrap book. So the fact that Harvey, a grown man, was beefing with a barely teenager is lowkey funny (in a twisted way)
At Dead Of Night is seriously a shining example of indie horror. Since we've been overwhelmed on Mascot Horror (specifically just Garten of Ban Ban), this game's style is refreshingly good, plus the scares are actually really good.
And it's based off an apparently massively obscure seaside/funfair puppet show, I'm usually the first one to point out how it's literally Punch and Judy.
I don't know of any other game that does that XD I've never even seen a game of P&J itself XD
It's probably only obvious to me because I'm Brit and I've seen this show multiple times throughout my life, and the signs are everywhere in the game. Jimmy's look, the picture in the background when he says 'Not tonight!' at the start is literally a Punch puppet, and 'That's the way to do it' is Punch's catchphrase.
It's a mascot horror game
Thr mascot is jimmy
@@Gracosef By that definition, Resident Evil 3 is mascot horror since Nemesis is the mascot of that game.
I keep hearing about this Garten of Ban Ban thing on Spiff's vids. What is it and why does everyone hate it?
@@JellyMyst It's a low effort horror series that consist of not scary characters, not fun game design, and devs are charging money after the first CHAPTER release, and even when the first chapter is free they instantly have a merch store.
I’m not a fan of jump scares for a cheap spook, but this game’s jumps from Jimmy always get me. Because while you can hear him sneaking around close by and catch glimpses of him behind corners, you still have a sense of unease when it comes to sneaky ole Jimmy. Definitely a underrated game.
the jump scare gets a bad rap from horror elitists, but it can be very effective if done correctly, like the ones in this game, the ones in The Thing, Alien, etc.
@@timob1681 I got really sick and tired of jump scares because of FNAF, so it’s very refreshing to see a game use them decently for once. Jump scares aren’t bad, they just need to be used in specific manners to be effective and not just annoying!
i think the jump scares are good because of how fast and visceral they are. a good jump scare is one that doesn't overstay it's welcome.
@@dragonhoffele1612 honestly I think fnaf 1's jump scares were great, and they got worse over the course of the series. though to be honest, that's kind of the case for everything in fnaf - great in the 1st game and much worse in every subsequent one
@@dragonhoffele1612 jumpscares do not work in latest FNAF games as intended because you already knew you will be scared in a second. Classic FNAF games were playing with your uncertainty.
To think the events of the game never would've happened if Maya had just said yes to seeing the entertainment
Well, I mean, the ghosts would still be there… But
Yeah, I'd rather be hunted down than see his "entertainment"
@@ButRedmanDoes Maya figuring everything out with them actually do anything though?? Like it doesn’t seem like she frees them or anything- just has a nice chat over a cup of tea.
All I know is that I’m never saying “no” to an entertainer ever again /j
I hope the creators of this game are aware of how amazing a game they’ve created here. It’s gimmick is insanely cool and the writing and acting are really good (at least compared to other horror games released in recent time)
The way the scenes are shot still makes it feel like everyone is animated despite being live-action, what a nice touch.
This game was actually cgi and is mostly green screened ;)
@@DDRKhat Still, what a nice touch. ;)
@@DDRKhat I think they were referring to specifically the actors, but, to be fair, the CGI is VERY realistic and believable.
It's very impressive how seamlessly they were able to combine filmed footage with CGI special effects models. FMV has truly finally reached peak potential with this game, in the year 2020. Massive kudos.

I swear the show he is talking about is young Justice when kid flash has to run a heart to a hospital. He feels under appreciated by his team because they’re all on a super cool awesome mission and he’s stuck running across the world with a box, but at the end it’s super feel good when he saves the girl. He also has an obsession with trophies and the episode opens showing kid flash’s trophy case.
OH I KNOW THAT EPISODE I REMEMBER WATCHING THAT! wow core memory unlocked
Late af but this was mentioned to him, it wasn't that episode
Am I the only one obsessed with how satisfying the usage of the keys are? Something of just the way it looks and sounds is so peaceful and cool
To my knowledge of the game, the reason for the screams, is because Jimmy was in the shortest route to the elevator for your friend. It's not him actually killing them, but he knows where they have come from, and heads towards you. It's as simple as that. Avoid letting Jimmy see them, and use the stairs to avoid Jimmy changing floors, and you have a hell of an easy time.
Idk why but i got a stroke reading this
Wait so Jimmy doesn't even care about killing Maya's friends and straight up to find and take down Maya? Cause I thought sending the friend and no scream can be heard was them survived by him..
Or I'm just having memory issues.
"Simple as that"
@@cx.ohnokiiii7501 That's cuz they used a crap ton of commas and spent too long over explaining.

that first jumpscare got me so bad, and I wasn't even playing. Genuinely one of the coolest horror games of recent times.
I like how for some of the earlier jumpscares, Spiff is so invested in the game that when Jimmy conks him over the head, it almost looks like Spiff reacts like he really was hit in the head.
Playing this game on extreme mode be like:
You've been hit by-

Getting jumpscared by a REAL MAN is scarier than any fictional monster.
For the friends screaming after you send them out, I heard that them screaming is actually to tell you how far away or how close Jimmy is to the room, not if Jimmy catches/kills them. It explains the VERY delayed scream at 1:50:00 and the IMMEDIATE scream at 1:49:02. At this point of the game, he's extremely focused on Maya and is only gunning for her so her friends escape safely, from what I heard.
That would also explain the lack of screams that occasionally happen, probably meaning Jimmy wasn't on that floor at the time
@@burnttoast3925 Yeah. I heard from another comment that after you send someone out and he scared them he GUNS to where you are, so it’s recommended to use the stairs since it delays Jimmy from moving to that floor (and they’re safe from Jimmy too if you need a moment).
Wow I’ve loved following content about this game for over 2 years and I never knew this was false all along, that’s cool though I was genuinely terrified for these fictional friends in every play through I watched
@@bonyeni Yeah, when I first watched a playthrough of this game I was very confused. Took 2 days of of dedicated watching to figure out that he wasn't just outright killing your friends. I was very relieved lmao.
As for the second part (Jimmy gunning to your area), I didn't know about that until I read a comment in this very comment section :) So We're still learning abt the game to this day~
Thank god I was sad thank you
Its not even the live action that makes it so scary, its the hallways, the sharp reliefs on every single corner purposefully designed to keep you at unease, the same unease we felt when the original FNAF came out.
Its masterful stuff and I hate it when things like this is considered "underrated" because its really well made!
It is underrated though, it is really well made and isn't getting the attention it deserves as a shining example of a walkabout horror
I don’t think you know what ‘underrated’ means if you think it’s a degrading term
Truee I full-body cringe just watching play throughs
underrated means that its good but people think its bad or that much people havent had impressions on the game and deserves more. Overrated is the oppisite of underrated.
I think what they meant by the “underrated” bit is that they are sad it’s considered underrated, because it deserves more recognition. That’s just how I interpreted their comment, so I could be wrong.
This game is even more amazing when u realise the game was made in java script using just a 3 hour long video that films all the movements and turns in game
1:05:27
Correct me if I’m wrong but the tutorial said that the ghosts can manifest physically in high energy levels or something, which is why it looks like Harvey was getting stabbed by thin air.
Because well, jimmy isn’t lining the coffins is he.
That is actually something I never thought about. Good thinking.

What's great about the scares in this game is that it messes with you psychologically, making you paranoid about whether Jimmy IS in that corner you're looking at. It doesn't have any ear rape loud=scary moments, it's a short and sudden "boo" that leaves you constantly weary and uneasy. Absolutely f a n t a s t i c.
It still makes the mistake of playing a scare chord every time an apparition shows. It doesn't give you that "Did I really see that?" ambiguity that can make horror elements even more effective.
Another thing it does good is the perspective, when you’re walking around it moves you unnaturally and you’re in positions where you can’t see much. So there’s this uneasy feeling about “is someone behind me?”
also the game animations and the small hallways gives some claustrophobia
and when we see jimmy the slow animations makes us paranoid about the feeling he could get us
"Gaah!" *bonk*
@@soupcangaming662 bro,... that scared me so much 😭😭
"I could have just made a bonking compilation and called it a day." Can we...can we still have that?
Hey Spiff, I know I'm a bit late but about the episode you described, I think it's from the Looney Toons show where they live normal lives. Daffy bought himself a trophy for winnin the marathon, then Speedy called him out, and Daffy raced with Porky. Daffy got exhausted on the race, Porky dragged him in, and in the hospital Porky got a trophy for it, but Daffy took it as his own
Genuinely a terrifying game. It's a case of you knowing that he's always near, but the fact you dont know it exactly resulting in it jumpscaring you when Jimmy comes from an angle you don't expect is masterclass misdirection

Remember how SB originally removed all save terminals post 6AM? They did that to make getting the true ending (Afton ending) a test of the player’s skill and having them use what they learned to win without dying. At Dead of Night does this so much better and is so much more satisfying to beat, while also not being so crazy long like in SB.
to be fair it was thematically a cool choice to disable saving after 6am because it's an inverse of what usually happens in fnaf. Once that bell chimes youre saved, but in SB youre absolutely fucked yet it too still manages to be the beginning of tomorrow as it's when you go to escape.
Ofc they fucked it up in actual practice, but again it's very cool on paper.
At Dead of Night also doesn’t have a bunch of extra collectibles, other alternate endings that require entirely different routes through the game world, and a boatload of sporadic glitches
Security Breach also was a technical mess, especially on release. Entirely possible for the game to just not work and force you to restart, making the experience all the more fun.
It also helps that here you're doing the same task on loop. Meanwhile Security Breach, you're doing a new task, be it fighting an animatronic, wandering new locations to get to fights, etc.
This video took me over a week to complete purely for just how scared I was. The whole time I was tense because I had no idea when Jimmy would show up, and everytime he did I literally jumped out of my skin

I originally thought this games gimmick would get old really quick, and the live action would look cheap but DAMN! This is actually really scary, and looks super smooth...the live action makes it look very theatric and vintage. I like the gameplay mechanic of the speaking to the spirits, it adds another layer of fun rather than just "escape the murderer and walk around" gameplay most indie horror games have!
The speaking mechanic is also a really refreshing way to learn the story as opposed to picking up notes. It does a much better job of adding to the atmosphere, too.
I'm 26 so FMV games are well before my time, but I am so fascinated by the concept of them. But they're so difficult to find a way to play these days, especially ones that are any good.
I had never seen Spiff get jumpscared, and actually jump from the scare.

At Dead Of Night is the only game I've ever been scared of while I was watching a youtuber play it(Markiplier), and I always recommend it when I can because the experience really stuck with me. Something about the narrow corridors and corners you can't see around creates such a perfect horror experience. Love this game.
Meanwhile legendary libraries scare me.... I mean who has doors that take minutes to unlock, especially while its flooding! At least there was popcorn.
The tension in the game is insane & makes my anxiety go ballistic, very good game.
Yeah, this game is pretty good. There was also a game called Madison that I thought was scary. The monster jumpscares aren't insane but the atmosphere of Madison was just plain creepy.
This game is one of the only horror games that can consistently scare me, the live action makes it feel so much more real
At Dead of Night is one of the coolest indie horror games I've seen in a long while! The live action and CGI is blended so well that I often can't tell what is real and what is CG. The whole game looks like real life at times, and that is impressive!

Just want to say, the captions for the slight sounds are a godsend. I rarely get to watch CZcams in a quiet environment, so I often miss things like that.
Agreed , i have problems with processing noise aswell as having hearing loss , so being able to have those captions that point out details like that is beneficial as hell .
It's always such a delight to find games that do closed captions right.
@@yasmineh.1333 The game was the one who did CC wrong. The video editor did it right. So, 2 months after the original post, let's all give applause to the editor for their great work.
I was surprised at how scary those jumpscares really were! I physically jumped in alarm SO MANY times during this video! Sliding around those blind corners, no spooky music or anything, just suddenly HYAAH! Never thought a regular as heck dude could be so scary.
Yeah the games AI and atmosphere are absolutely amazing for the scare factor it’s literally my favourite horror game because it is genuinely terrifying in that regard
That’s no “Regular as heck dude.”
he’s *bald.*
I think the regularity of the dude makes it even scarier. Same as whenever the killer of a kid is their own mother, or when the person sexually harassing someone is just a regular, maybe even physicaly attractive person.
It is a constant reminder that the danger can be hidden in seemingly safe things. Which adds to the disturbing nature of the whole game.
@@Ghostly3011 It's a bald cap. Jimmy probably has hair.

Being named Rose definitely made that chapter a lot more personal
a sequel must be in place, the ai and learning of movements and paths with jimmy has so much to be explored with
At Dead of Night is quite possibly the most phenomenal immersive horror game of the decade. You feel so involved. You feel the fear, the dread, the horror, the sadness, the joy, and more of Maya.
Oh yeah, and Maya is beautiful. It's the lttle things.
Dude, game came out in 2020 and we still have 7 more years in this decade, maybe wait a little more before calling it "most phenomenal immersive horror game of the decade".
@@thegamerfe8751 The decade of 2011 ended in 2020. There is no calendar year of 0, that decade ran from 1 to 10. We are in the next decade of 2021 to 2030.

True but it's underrated
Our man out here pumping out hour long videos for us. Guy hasn't even heard of a part 2 before and we love him for it
He basically only makes part 2 videos for failed challenges.
The only part 2 video from him I remember was the Subnautica videos
@@purplecat6578 Jr's and Sr's can be described a being split between a part 1 and 2. That and Subnautica are all I can think of, if you can even consider the former a two parter.
I think I remember him mentioning on twitter that part 2s drastically hurt the channel algorithmically, but I might be wrong
I love how this games pushes the story of a "murderer" on the edge. instead of straight up killing people with a knife or something, he makes their lives a living hell and enforcing them to kill themselves, keeping his hands clean, making everybody to basically commit... well you know....
The little Girl jump down the staircase intoxicated, Dr. Bose hung himself with the elevator, but when it came to Harvey, he hated him the most, the girl and Dr. Bose despised Jimmy but they knew he had an illness, but Harvey was going to great lengths to get jimmy to push over the edge or leave the hotel
words cannot describe how much i love stupidly long videos about games i never even heard of
I love the "huaaaah" jimmy does every time he smacks you always made me smile at the enthusiasm
And he's smiling in his jumpscare :D
Fun fact, one of the people that led the producing of this game was the legendary Tim Follin. If his name is familiar, that's cause he and his brother are known for pushing old game sounds chips to their limits with INSANE music compositions.
Quick update: minor spelling error
No fucking way Tim Follin was on this
@Pez Yep. I Googled it to make sure I was right and he's credited as the director for it
@@thomasmurrell9832 wild.
@@Peztllence not only was he on it, he's the man with the idea himself. He seems to be big into making FMV games nowadays. He also made another FMV game, Contradiction, that's also on Steam. its a murder mystery kinda thing.
Wow, what an unexpected connection!
Consider that Jimmy never outright kills you. He just knocks you out and deprives you of your means of escape.
I now want an alternate ending, where you can choose to attend Jimmy’s show, and absolutely nothing bad happens.
yeah! like the mock ending in we happy few where you can just take your joy in the beginning and the game ends there
17:01 is the literal best timed advertisement I have ever seen because I received an ad about body wash or something which distracted me and then the jumpscare caught me off guard.
I got an ad at the same time too
I genuinely love this game because of how realistic it is, also how straightforward yet well written the story is, glad you’re playing it.
I would say the death loop was his fault for choosing extreme for his first playthrough, but I have to remember that this is the casual way spigg plays games and I'm all here for it.
I think Jimmy having a bald cap is part of the "Hugo" thing, because at the end the other Jimmy didn't have it on. It being obvious that he's wearing a bald cap is intentional
Man I really hope this game gets a sequel, would honestly love to save Jimmy from his demented father, ever since I watched Markiplier play it I've been wishing for a follow up game ever since. And even if they don't make one for this game, I'm sure whatever they make will be phenomenal.
from what i heard/understood from the developers/developer, they actually are working on a sequel, and i quote from one of their comments “Yep - the next game is set a couple of years after the last game, but it's all about Jimmy's family backstory - it's a... presequel. Seprequel?” and there isn’t a set release date for it but if it’s being actively worked on even as little as a year ago then that’s gotta be great news, right? means we’ll get more backstory as well as maybe a chance to save jimmy from hugo(at least it’s a possibility!)
This actually seems so good, the live action, the scares are all so amazing
I played it after John Wolfe played it and LORD its so so good, even when you know what's happening the tension remains high and the jumpscares stay effective
Fr we need more FMV games in the modern day. Like technology is better than ever for it!!!
That Monster lawsuit is honestly ridiculous. I will not be buying any of their products if they're gonna be petty and unfair.
they're just full of shit, they aren't going to actually sue Pokémon lmao, it's all for attention
@@timob1681 I mean, they tried. They literally can't though because the Japanese court system immediately throws out their attempts to do that kind of stuff. They've tried to sue Japanese companies over having monster in the name of stuff before, and it always gets thrown out immediately.
@@frog1405 I feel like that's getting thrown out anywhere, not just Japan, but maybe I'm wrong
As someone who thoroughly enjoys both Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals and Pokemon, I was seriously outraged by the lawsuit, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t really drink soda of any kind AND isn’t easy to get frustrated.
It was 100% a publicity stunt to be put in the company spotlight but energy drinks suck anyways
i remember seeing this game when it came out and being shocked at how genuinely scary it is, the environment they built is so good, makes you scared to turn every corner.
Spiff telling his life story with the game unpaused scared the fuck out of me because I knew it was only a matter of time till jimmy popped up and "whack-a da face"
For someone who's beaten this game many times, I can say that there isn't much difference between standard and extreme mode. In extreme mode, the ghost box can spawn in different locations, Jimmy gets in the rooms more often, and he steals your items everytime you're caught, but for me I never really noticed much of a difference.
So there is a difference
Sounds like you literally just spend less time looking for items on normal
@aetherius6221 lol I played both difficulties several times and at the start I got every single item I could so I guess you're right
I can't watch gameplay of this game without tasting sweet potatoes cause when I was watching a playthrough of it for the first time, I was also on a huge sweet potato chip kick having only recently tried them and discovering my love for them. I was snacking on them the whole time I was watching the playthrough and the two experiences have become so linked in my brain that I can literally taste the chips when I look at this.
the human brain is crazy.
exact situation here but with chicken penne
@@haliee me with pizza😭😭
One time it was a pal's birthday and we were playing streets of rogue. I ended up drinking over 3/4s of a liter bottle of fireball whiskey. Got sick as expected. Whenever I look at that game I start feeling queasy now.
@@melonman2064 There was a flash game I played as a kid and I got sick and threw up while playing it. I remember I couldn't look at it after that cause it made me feel ill.
me with cheeto puffs and hermitcraft season 6
so I am SUPER glad this game hadn't come out yet when I traveled to the UK several years ago, because the hotel in this game bears an odd resemblance to the one I stayed in whilst in London (and kind of reminds me of the one I stayed at in Dublin)
both those hotels had this feeling of "this building was meant to be something else and it was converted into a hotel" and though the buildings were very atmospheric and definitely full of history, they also had a vibe of "murderers could be around any corner you turn" and made me just as uncomfortable as this one does
At Dead of Night is one of my, if not #1, favorite horror game.
It’s just so unique and especially if you love detective stuff and ghosts such as discovering stories behind dead ghosts.
I mainly discovered this game by 8-bit Ryan and ended up researching every ghost and their story, who jimmy is, etc etc.
This game was really impressive for what was made with just a video file of a bunch of scenes. Goes to show you can make games in many ways.

Thank you 👍
Great work.
been looking for this list thank you so much 🙏🏾
oh my god he dies so much
fun fact! tim follin, the person who made, for example, the soundtrack for the pictionary NES game, worked on this game!
absolutely love how ppl mock the intro of the game ends up getting scared the hell out of it from the immersion.
I saw John Wolfe's playthrough of this a while ago and loved it! The actor for Jimmy does a darn good job and his AI can lead to some crazy moments. Great to see you bringing it to the attention of more people!
I love John!!
@@kristanicole8123 Yeah, he's great! There was one moment in his playthrough where Jimmy got him that was really funny; it definitely stuck with me.
YES! A John Wolfe appreciation post! I grew up watching his vids every night for 9 or so years, I must've been around 10 or 11 years old when I first started watching him which makes me feel OLD. I remember falling in love with his videos when I came across them back in ye olde Harshly Critical days because he was honest and offered actual feedback in a time when a lot of youtubers were overdoing the jumpscare reactions (glad that trend seems to have died down now though)!
What makes it scarier for me is I've stayed in B&B's like this lol
Spooky ones too, from small narrow hallwayed B&B's with only the sound of rain for company to large victorian-esque incredibly old fashioned B&B's where every corner is incredibly dark and there's only field surrounding it, I love the aethstetic of this game.
I wanna stay in a place like this, as long as I had no reason to believe I was actually in danger this place is very cozy.
@@Vonias It is actually super like oooooh when you're not spooked, the maze-like atmosphere is real and although you'll look silly on the security cams they're quite fun to just walk around. And the ones in the country during the day are comfy, old people, tea, and cakes everywhere.
Did they also have a bald guy chasing you with a bat?
@@LlamaLlama213 I luckily avoided that part of the stay, maybe if I didn't opt for early checkout.
Jimmy: *Verbal abuse towards Rose*
*Meanwhile, in the real world*
Loaf: “I shall now S T A N D”
this game having genuine realistic shots and recording still fucks me up to this day, i keep forgetting its not some high quality 3d animation
I'm so glad this game is getting more appreciation, this is one of my favorite games which also manages to give you anxiety as you navigate the game.
17:01 chat: "I HEAR HIM WALKING!"
Jimmy: why yes you do, NYAH!
I will live, breathe, and die for this video. This is my favorite video of all time. I never understood the concept of comfort videos until I watched this video. I will never, ever insult anyone again because this video has taught me kindness. I will never, ever be in a state of anger, sadness, or negativity ever again, now that this video has entered my life. Astralspiff has been a frequent banger creator over the past year and a half, but I believe this is his second-best work yet. In all honesty, I think this video could solve many, if not all, the issues in this world. I've been tearing up for the last 8 days since this video released, and I've only watched it once. But every time I close my eyes, I see funny Canadian guy in the top-left corner reacting to incidents in this game. Personally, I'm not a big fan of horror, but my gully gosh does this fuckin' guy make it entertaining. I'm not exactly sure how I've made it through life without this video. I'm in awe of its pure mastery of the CZcams craft. This video has become my sanctuary, a source of solace and joy in a chaotic world. Its captivating content has the power to transport me to another realm. In a world often marred by division and strife, this video serves as a gentle reminder of the power of laughter and unity. It transcends cultural boundaries and brings people together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared enjoyment.
Can we just appreciate how much Spiff cares about us on CZcams. Some streamers just hand their channel off to some editor and never touch the thing but here's Spiff uploading a full two hour fully edited video for us.
Ninja, Ishowspeed and others are examples,
Full time streaming on twitch
I’ve never been prone to jumpscares, especially not in CZcams videos. But this game is so well made that it made me throw off my headphones out of fear so many times, and I don’t think I’ve seen Spigg jump that many times playing a horror game before. The atmosphere of the hotel, the narrow halls and blind spots, every corner could lead to your demise. It does an amazing job at keeping you on edge throughout the entire experience, I wish I was brave enough to play it myself ^^’
You are absolutely right for saying that it’s underrated. I remember watching people play this when it came out, and it was so much fun! It’s fun, original, interesting and absolutely terrifying
maya: who's there?
jimmy: is you'r refridgirator running?
maya: yes why?
jimmy: then you BETTER CATCH IT
Was honestly so stocked when I saw Spiff was streaming this game. Fell in love with the style of it when Markiplier played it and have been hunting for streamers, speedrunners, and youtubers to binge that play it. Even better when it's someone I already watch religiously
I don’t really like the guy’s streams but to each their own
@@A-Warthog-cc1wm In the nicest way possible, why are you making yourself watch this video then? :)
@@itslucyagain2085 i didn't watch the whole thing just a little bit to see i i like this dude's content or not.
@@A-Warthog-cc1wm Ah, fair enough. I really enjoy his content but I can imagine it's not for everyone
I don’t know exactly how long it took you to beat, but I am impressed that you were able to compress it into 2 hours while still keeping the stories and funny parts.
To me this game has the perfect horror setting because it's a weirdly laid out hotel like a lot of British Victorian hotels are and it has wallpaper and carpet and wood panelling from the 70s and details like real fire hazard signs that make it feel like somewhere I've been to before and it's like the Shining with the psychopath and the ballroom. I think the Sea View Hotel is based on the Grand Hotel in Scarborough North Yorkshire because it's where jimmy is from and I'm pretty sure the inside of it looks like that
So glad you turned this into a video! The moment I saw the upload, I HAD to go back and watch the full VOD(s), and it was really fun to watch you play through it :) Even with all the bonks along the way
Paying homage to those old 80's horror games where they use IRL sprites & scenes for realism. 👏
"Who are you running from"
this game is criminally underrated. i became obsessed with it when markiplier was playing it and really hoped it would get more popular
God this is one of the creepiest games I’ve ever seen. Just watching it gives me the shivers and the jumpscares, even when I knew they were coming, all gave me heart attacks
This is one of my most favourite games ever - the story, the suspense and the gameplay too. So happy you got around to playing this too!!!
Hearing about horrible things - in regards to the glass thing - has more of an effect because your mind then turns to 'what would that feel like if it happened to me' and goes down the path of ramifications of that happening. If you see it happening to someone else in the game or movie or whatever, your mind then equates it to them - still horrible, but no longer are you imagining yourself going through it.
33:07 spigg existential crisis
Spiff having a completely blank reaction to Amy Bell's dead body made me laugh way harder than it needed to
26:08 bros like a teacher , talking about their weekend instead of teaching
The way they filmed it like cutscenes from games with all the angles and movements
One of the things i Love the most about this game is that it isnt this overused Multiple personalieties and one is completely crazy, and instead it even points out that it is not DID (really feels good after countless of shit representation in media)
Yes!
Yes! it’s awesome that the developers put a statement about it in the menu to clear anything up!!
It so easily could have fallen into the typical “secret evil personality” trope that has done so much harm to those with DID but they didn’t and actively steer you away from any doubts it could be. I love that, it shows you can have a terrifying villain who appears one way and is actually another without making harmful tropes out of real disorders.
@@harm0ny_ yeah i hate these tropes and im so happy this game isn’t actively harming me. This trope makes me scared to tell my close friends and family about DID just because of what they think :)
@@_42gamii agreed
