Oh man you reminded me of some random bluescreen or some random hang I've got when playing single player games where you can only save in a predetermined places Kind of a nightmare if you ask me
What's funniest is that at a first glance this game looks like it was made in Unreal, which is an engine known for crashing every 10 minutes (i'd know, I use this thing almost daily) Granted, this game is made in Unity, which is not much better. Unity tends to crash more on the developer's side though.
@@FlooferLand idk where you get these statistics from, im playing games on both engines pretty often but i dont recall the last time i ever experienced a game crash, maybe recent AAA games have that tendency to crash but id rather just avoid buying them until they get a hundred patches in 2 years
Spoiler (i guess): When you're at a train station, the trains usually get announced "Destination A ➡ Destination B" When you manage to get on the train at the end of BABBDI the announcement goes "BABBDI ➡ BABBDI" You *cannot* leave 😳
46:47 Spanish speaker here, I thought it was cool to translate what the npc said, so here it is: "Gamba and the little one from my home are on vacation here at Babbdi" "I don't know when I'll be able to return to my home, but for the moment I like Babbdi" "Is very special (Babbdi)" "Are you crazy" "I like this music" "My father passed away..." "José Padilla... " (The name of His father)
there's so much potential in a spooky but calming/horror game about urban exploration, this and the long drive so far are the only ones I could find so far
there's infested buildings, abandoned freighters in space, and straight up creepy planets on No Man's Sky so there's that. Obviously, not all planets are that creepy. You can make your home base on a marshy one, build an exocraft to drive across the surface, and explore to hell and back.
Honestly i love how subversive this game is. Its not horror, its comforting. Unpolished and unsettling, yes. But not horror. Falling won't kill you. You can go anywhere you want. There's no urgency. You can take your time. Everything is okay.
The sewer oil thing is actually a real practice thats common in china. They call it gutter oil. People are payed to skim oil from grease traps, gutters and even from pots of broth that people just ate from so that it can be taken to a facility that makes the oil look clear and its then resold
30:41 you sneezing in real life right when you walked into the flies ingame was so perfect also, fun fact: the hole at 36:26 is called a bellmouth spillway, they exist in real life
exploring the entire map (and I mean everything) and getting all achievments took me 2.5 hours, it feels like such a short map and yet its so much bigger than big maps
Between the surreal atmosphere and the creaking, Banjo Kazooie-esque grunting NPCs make as they speak, this game reminds me of another freeware exploration game, Juice Galaxy, that I think would be a great fit for the channel.
you should try Lets Find Larry, its made by the same person who made Night of the Consumers. its about 30 minutes long. its like where's waldo if waldo resented the fact you were following him. the music is fun, too
played Peripeteia and this game for the fist time, the same night... the moment i realized, in both games, the real size of the map, and the freedom of exploration... it blew my mind... im still recovering from that...
What we think of the Eastern bloc, looking back after 50 years anyway. Same concept as thinking back to the US 1950s is a lot different than how it felt to live there at the time.
@@domenik8339 Eh, it did kinda feel like it back then. The dystopian part wasn't that bad but there definitely were taboo topics. And the whimsical? Both a mix of absurds resulting from working around rigid bureaucracy and various spontaneous acts of randomness as means to baffle powers-that-be and make life more colorful. Like, serious 'underground' would paint anti-communist slogans at night, police would come and paint them over leaving big white rectangles on buildings at random, then Orange Initiative would step in and paint orange gnomes on these rectangles.
Oh shit somebody suggested this one to me but I haven't gotten around to playing it, sweet! :D Now we need some Connor Sherlock games lol. EDIT: "Get in loser, we're escapin' Babbdi" is one of my favorite quotes now
You might check out Eldritch Reanimated; it's a voxel-based roguelike that desperately wants to be a Lovecraftian stealth game, and gives me a lot of the same vibes as this game.
Having you mention Fallout is awesome. I love exploring the map of FO4 just for the creepy buy comfy feeling. If you downloaded a mod to remove all NPCs and enemies it would be a truly haunting experience exploring
Such a bizarre game. Yet I'm compelled to watch and keep watching. 👍🏼😀 Don't know why, but I'm reminded of a movie called Brazil with Jonathan Price and Robert De Niro from about '86 or '87. Weird.
this game is great, after like the first half hour of playing the environment felt super heavy. Like i had a feeling that i needed to escape before something bad happened or something😂 it was super oppressing and depressing, great stuff.
I'm curious if the title is _supposed_ to say something sensical. Given the quirks of the menu text, we could assume that there's at least 1 extra letter in BABBDI somewhere (probably an extra B), and that the i at the end is supposed to be somewhere else in the word. Babid? Baibd? Bidab? I dunno.
46:52 What I managed to translate is: "Gamba and the little girl from my house are on vacation here but babbled." 47:02 "I don't know when I'll be able to return home but for the moment I like Babbdi." 47:03 "It's very special." 47:05 "You're crazy?" 47:07 "I like music." 47:09 "My father died." 47:11 "Jose Padillas..."
the man speaking spanish at 46:50 translates to this: "gamba and the little one from my house are on vacation here in babbdi" "I don't know when I will be able to return home but for the moment I like babbdi" "it's very special" "you're crazy? (or) are you crazy?" "I like music" "my father died..." (last one is just a name obv)
The guy "lying flat" under the stairs & the woman getting gutter oil seem like social commentary on China, while the contrete structures are lime commentary on Soviet era USSR. You found way more shit than I did. I completely forgot about the achievements.
this is the kind of game a person stuck in purgatory, that somehow got access to a PC with a game engine, would make for himself, to kill some time out of their eternity
For some reason this game reminds me of another game im a big fan of called Northern Journey. You should give it a look, its a longer game so not one you could finish in a single video but it might still be nice to see what you think of the first bit of it. Or maybe even a series if we're lucky
I read Spanish ok but didn't have time to get it all. Dancing Dude was saying that they were on vacation in Babbdi but weren't sure when they could get back home, that it's very special, and at one point he asked if you were crazy (estas loco?)
this place reminds me of Crucible in the Shivering Isles. definitely kept thinking of that guy who really REALLY wants you to kill him, because i always chose to push him off the ledge. i think one of the Dark Seducers makes a remarkk about how they need to put up a guardrail or something, or maybe i'm insane.
"Why would the game save if you can't die" Mister Librarian clearly living the best life having never experienced a crash in their life.
or like, a pwoer outage
or have to go do something or go somewhere in the middle of a session

7:25 'maybe we could use the elevator like some kind of elevator' is one of the best quotes!
did not even question it the first time, what....
ah yes, the room here is made out of room
For those who don't know this is free on steam right now
Grabbed it as soon as I read this, thanks for notifying!
FOR FREE?
@@acrj-alfasaus4825 yup
this is free in general. it's not on sale or anything.
Thank you!

"I like this music"
"My father passed away..."
"José Padilla... " (The name of His father)
thank you, it's not much but it's honest work, as they say
The developers of BABBDI are currently working on a shooter game, I'm hyped.
I believe “I’m laying flat” is a reference to a movement in China. It’s basically quiet quitting
there's so much potential in a spooky but calming/horror game about urban exploration, this and the long drive so far are the only ones I could find so far
Librarian's gmod map exploration playlist has SO many fantastic explorations that are exactly 'spooky but calming/horror game about urban exploration'
there's infested buildings, abandoned freighters in space, and straight up creepy planets on No Man's Sky so there's that. Obviously, not all planets are that creepy. You can make your home base on a marshy one, build an exocraft to drive across the surface, and explore to hell and back.

Was looking for a comment explaining this. Thanks.
Gross.
Real China moments
i've been waiting for you to play this for so long, brutalist architecture is so depressing yet so melancholic
30:41 you sneezing in real life right when you walked into the flies ingame was so perfect
also, fun fact: the hole at 36:26 is called a bellmouth spillway, they exist in real life
Bellmouth spillway? Yeah they used to call me that back in school
lovely voice, sounds like an actual librarian
I know right I love his voice it's soo soothing
@@muzummilkhan7713 I agree. :D
that conspicuous hole in the reservoir is actually a plug hole. not very common but pretty normal, they act like a drain so the water doesnt overflow

Honestly BABBDI was my GOTY for 2022. I love it!
“Maybe we can use the elevator like some sort of elevator” The Librarian 2023.
exploring the entire map (and I mean everything) and getting all achievments took me 2.5 hours, it feels like such a short map and yet its so much bigger than big maps
you seriously gotta play Who's Lila, suuuper underrated, it does the multiple endings mystery thing without ever dragging on, super intriguing
This game is my favorite brand of weird.
Hell yeah! This game is so friggin weird and unsettling and I love it.
Librarian is a type a guy that would say "Honey I'm home!" when he enters a house
and the “honey” in question has gotta be horrorbaby on that yucky mattress 😭😂
@@casecoded that was the corpse of Asker's wife
"get in loser, we're escaping Babbdi" 😂😂 LMAO !
Between the surreal atmosphere and the creaking, Banjo Kazooie-esque grunting NPCs make as they speak, this game reminds me of another freeware exploration game, Juice Galaxy, that I think would be a great fit for the channel.
Ah hell ya I love babbdi
hello person who i only know for the people playground iceberg
Girls Last Tour season 2 looks great!
,, Well maybe we can use the elevator as some kind of a elevator''

ah yes, the room here is made out of room
you should try Lets Find Larry, its made by the same person who made Night of the Consumers. its about 30 minutes long. its like where's waldo if waldo resented the fact you were following him. the music is fun, too
The Librarian exploring some weird city map with gray buildings - that's my kind of youtube content!
played Peripeteia and this game for the fist time, the same night... the moment i realized, in both games, the real size of the map, and the freedom of exploration...
it blew my mind... im still recovering from that...
Oh I've wanted to see a game like this because urban exploration is fascinating to me! Also, love your videos Librarian!
"Dystopian but whimsical", what a perfect description of the Eastern Bloc.
What we think of the Eastern bloc, looking back after 50 years anyway. Same concept as thinking back to the US 1950s is a lot different than how it felt to live there at the time.

@@sharpfangI think you're confusing art with reality. The orange initiative is not a real thing.
@@domenik8339 Sorry, I confused the name: Orange Alternative, not Initiative. It was totally a real thing, check the Wikipedia article.
17:58 the cut is perfect i laught out loud
Whoa, this looks amazing. gotta need some snacks, drinks and a cozy night for this one
You might like Bernband if you like urban exploration. It's a LOT shorter, but it's genuinely cool.
This
Ty for the reccomendation.
Oh shit somebody suggested this one to me but I haven't gotten around to playing it, sweet! :D
Now we need some Connor Sherlock games lol.
EDIT: "Get in loser, we're escapin' Babbdi" is one of my favorite quotes now
I played this game a while back, and it was so fun and satisfying to get all the achievements and items- it's great to see you trying this game too!
welcome to the beautiful city of milton keynes
The first area reminds me a lot of The Maze Runner with the pale dull concrete occasionally broken with green & rust brown. Amazing video Librarian!
You might check out Eldritch Reanimated; it's a voxel-based roguelike that desperately wants to be a Lovecraftian stealth game, and gives me a lot of the same vibes as this game.
woah i never figured you would play this, i was obsessed with it back in late july
you never miss with the banger videos
Getting ready for school, so excited to watch this whole thing when I get home
Update: Loved it
This game is so cool, i love the the brutalist architecture and it reminds me of the half life 2 beta citadel , which is epic
your voice makes everything sound so mysterious, like it!
Having you mention Fallout is awesome. I love exploring the map of FO4 just for the creepy buy comfy feeling. If you downloaded a mod to remove all NPCs and enemies it would be a truly haunting experience exploring
Fallout 3 is even better for exploration, but it is a more intensely dark game than 4.
Such a bizarre game. Yet I'm compelled to watch and keep watching. 👍🏼😀
Don't know why, but I'm reminded of a movie called Brazil with Jonathan Price and Robert De Niro from about '86 or '87. Weird.
This was really neat. Reminds me of girls last tour ngl
RIP flying machine. Tossed aside like a used can, left to sink in the rust mud of a brutalist dream scape.
babdi is so underrated, i'm glad you played it :)
such a cool video about this game from you.
I also played the game and I thought it was really good.
I really enjoyed your video.
the text is a really great example of how your brain just some words when you read like a form of autocorrect
Funny that you are playing this, this was uploaded right after i started playing like 2 hours ago
OMG I was expecting this video since BABBDI came out lol ❤
Amazing. Thank you, Librarian.
You just feel the oppression of it, not a horror on sight, its like seeing a tragic downfall.
im even surprised he progressed this fast as 20 minutes first when i struggle from dizziness for a month trying to solve this damn game T______T
Never thought you'd play this game!
48:03 Shows what is known in China as: "Spit Oil" or Gutter-Oil 🤢
this game is great, after like the first half hour of playing the environment felt super heavy. Like i had a feeling that i needed to escape before something bad happened or something😂 it was super oppressing and depressing, great stuff.
You just forgot that Cream could just blast in a straight line towards the real head in there and boom, gone, doesn’t exist anymore
i tried playing this myself a while ago but I'm a total coward - so I'm excited that youre playing for us :D
I'm curious if the title is _supposed_ to say something sensical. Given the quirks of the menu text, we could assume that there's at least 1 extra letter in BABBDI somewhere (probably an extra B), and that the i at the end is supposed to be somewhere else in the word. Babid? Baibd? Bidab? I dunno.
I usually like more polished graphics, but this was still pretty fun. Thanks!

Loved this game so much
thanks for playing this
this game is such a gem
ive been waiting for this day for so long.
The guy "lying flat" under the stairs & the woman getting gutter oil seem like social commentary on China, while the contrete structures are lime commentary on Soviet era USSR.
You found way more shit than I did. I completely forgot about the achievements.
Yessss. I had requested this so long ago
Nice you played it.

Babdi is inspired by Istanbul I think but game makes it seem much more colourful and habitable
Oh wow this has tales from off peak city vibes in the beginning
I read Spanish ok but didn't have time to get it all. Dancing Dude was saying that they were on vacation in Babbdi but weren't sure when they could get back home, that it's very special, and at one point he asked if you were crazy (estas loco?)
love u dude
Love this game
The best open world game of the decade
you should totally play cryptworlds, it's such a surreal experience with a lot of unnerving and comfy environments!
this place reminds me of Crucible in the Shivering Isles. definitely kept thinking of that guy who really REALLY wants you to kill him, because i always chose to push him off the ledge.
i think one of the Dark Seducers makes a remarkk about how they need to put up a guardrail or something, or maybe i'm insane.
I LOVE THIS GAME BASED LIBRARIAN
yessssssss I love this game
OMGGGG i love this game!!!!!! i nearly 100%'ed it in one session bc it was My Jam to a ludicrous degree
Librarian has finally plays babbdi games
44:16 is that... is that Macron ? babbdi takes place in france confirmed ?
Yeah, i recognized him too. Not many more people noticed, i guess no one knows or cares about him outside of france.
I played this before. I wish it had been a pitch demo to crowdfund a bigger more fleshed out game, because it was too short & left me wanting more.
Awesome
we are never leaving babbdi
*"HAI! :3"*
OH MY GOD HE PLAYED IT HE PLAYED BABDI
The "laying flat and gutteroil" characters refere to stuff happening in China/ Asia
You got any source for that happening outside of China? AFAIK it's only China, not anywhere else.
interesteeed
What’s funny is that the menu doesn’t actually say PLAME. That isn’t an M. It looks more like a crown.
Holy hell he actually played it
1:04:25 Roadside Picnic is quite the read. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Reminds me of Bernband.
Playing with a leaf blower? That's the most childish thing I've ever heard of!
If you enjoyed this game, I think you might like Sludge Life too!
