The fact that the game's structure is meant to make you fall for the same ruse the rest of the school did and hate Sam made me feel nauseous when it hit me. Brilliant.
Yes, the parallel is great when you realise that you cannot just blame those teenagers - because you too, yourself, also thought of Sam negatively initially. This is brilliant.
For a horror concept, that is amazing! There are several moments throughout history where people have been isolated or treated as less than because of a social stigma placed on them, even if the person may have less to do with the stigma than seen at first glance and it was all based on a rumor and fallacy (sometimes fundamental attribution error and cognitive dissonance can be the perfect ingredients to add to a psychological horror scenerio)...
ooof that's good
personally i knew as soon as i heard the breathing over the phone it wasnt a womans breathing and i knew something was up but at first i also thought it was a sam
@@drakewarrior1013 shunning, teasing and bullying someone is not the same as being annoyed at a stereotypical teenage diary entry.
For once I want to see a game that doesn't have a reflection in the mirror, but only because there is a plot twist of actually being a vampire.
Jamie Tiller Bud, You are going places...
Jamie Tiller haha yeah that would be neat
that moment when you think it's just lazy game design but then at the end it blows your mind. That would be cool, playing on the players expectation of laziness in indie games to drop major story hints right in front of their face.
Man that's very original
LightChashers469 idk if you’re being sarcastic but technically it would be since no one uses it lol
This game was so subtly clever.
When Sam mentioned Kyle creepily staring at her I automatically assumed it was because he was a gross pervert but it was so much different. Really well done.
Honestly I had an inkling it was because he was being protective over Brian but because that was his buddy, and he didnt want his best friend to get caught up in a relationship, leaving him in the dust. I was not expecting it in a romantic way. The devs did a really good job of keeping that hidden until the end
I'm sorry, I'm only at the beginning, but "My front door is locked? From the inside?" sounds like a Yahoo Answer question and I laughed out loud in real life.
@Night Owl the prananganant guy ? lmao
I love how when Kyle walks out of the closet John laughs
"Oh! I was in the closet."
>Brain processing own words...
"Ha!"
Clever and subtle
I don't think it was a vengeful ghost but drugged up hallucinations do to his regret. And the giggling monster was his inner demons laughing at him. That's why it appeared when he tore off the college poster.
What makes you say a vengeful, haunting spirit doesn’t come from inside you?
It could be that the main character had a psychosis or schizophrenia.
@@TheRavenflock It dosen't say anything about drugs.
@@TheRavenflock But yes you could get psychosis from drugs, but I think the main character just was mentally ill, but that's just nu opinion.
@@TheRavenflock Yeah but this was before, if you mix drugs with certain medications you could get a psychosis, but it's up to you how you wan't to se the story.
holy shit, the plot twist of actually being kyle, reading kyle's diary, and sam being innocent was great. at the start it just seemed like a standard stalker plot but this was good.
@gamewizard I the scariest thing was when Kyle found out B wasn't into D
.. sorry dude I had to because of your previous comments
Saved me an hour an a half thanks
Fuck. Really shouldn’t have read this bf watching the end. Goddam it
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 The golden rule is to never read the comments before the video ends :D
So she wasnt a stalker?
Fun little detail my girlfriend caught while we were watching:
She figured out that Kyle was writing the Diary after the part where it says “You’re trash.”
She noticed on the bed that there are men’s clothes on the bed. A nice little detail.
Brady Gearheart ._.
Nice to flex on everyone that you have a girlfriend.
I noticed the same small detail on my yacht to the Carribean
@@charon_lix "Flexing a girlfriend" lmao, if you think stating that you have a girlfriend is comparable to showing off a very expensive object that few people have, then you should go out more.
@@citric1420 The joke was that he stated something that was completly unnecessary, while also being something most people have. The humor is way over your head gay lord
@@charon_lix Except it was necessary for proper context? He certainly didn't say that. That would be like me talking about the deliveries I made for Amazon today. Oh wait. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is the one who works indirectly for Amazon.
Context. Matters.

Thats how i take my heroin
T03 0n3 straight into my phone
Alludes to how he quit school and became a heroin addict after guilt over his murder
john, trying to be relatable: yeah, transferring to another school was hard
john:
john: actually it wasn't
😂😂😂
The last bit of the story pieced this together a little bit for me, but after murdering Sam, Kyle drops out of school and becomes a heroin addict while trying to cope with his guilt. The trash imagery is him depicting his own self-loathing.
And also, I'm pretty sure Kylie was Homosexuall and had feelings for Brian but used Stacy as a sort of disguise.
@@spaceracelino8976 Yes I thought that too. 🤔
@@spaceracelino8976 Or he was bi
@@spaceracelino8976 Or he was just really possessive with a bad case of jealousy added to the mix.
@@TheHuskyGT Judging by how he writes about the "I'm never leaving B's side" and the stuff about "he makes my heart beat when I interact with him" and "I did it because I loved him" stuff he definitely seems to be more than just upset from jealousy.
Jokes on you!
Nothing is scarier than Episode: Choose your story
😂😂😭😭
Ew lol
To walk over the bullys you had to use *diamonds*
That's the true horror
By the way *Its 50 episodes long* .
Bruuhhhh
As a Kyle theres a distinct lack of monster energy cans placed around the room, the walls are also pristine and not punched in.
Haha

@@highhat5229 Which probably was shortened from dough-knot.
It is amazing how creepy a game can be when it is purely psychological
Exactly why psychological horror is the best kind of horror.
@sREUDIAN fLIP Don't forget Cry of Fear and SH2
I wouldnt say its the best horror as fear is subjective but those two horror games and the others like them are bad because they copied the same base dilemma and then copied the gameplay for the most part and sometimes outright tell you end before you get there. Hell, you dont even have to have an actual crime take place for one.
sREUDIAN fLIP layers of fear is one of my favorite games :D
Probably because on some level we can relate.
John: This game is actually good
Me: 👀
Lmfao yes
John is drunk.
@@CryingZombie666 I'm drunk
@Leviathan Nephilim77 You're always drunk.
Leviathan Nephilim77 dammit you're drunk again, you can't keep getting away with this. 😠
I saw this as more of a nightmare of guilt and selfishness that Kyle had been living with for 3 years, not so much a haunting.
and drugs, lotsa drugs
LeonDOGE yeap
And repressed sexuality
@@sbnewsom No such thing, you mean mental ill
40:00 Now THAT'S a jump scare
No overly sudden and loud noises, no delay for mental preparation, no colourful (over the top gore) visuals.
Just "Boo."
"oh! I was in the closet."
oh my god i cant believe they did that. kind of ruins the pacing but thats so funny
johns reaction was fucking CLASSIC too oh my god
Dog wait, what part was this at?
Dr Strangelove 1:21:15
I love John, don’t take this as hate against him but, I thought the character coming out of the closet wasn’t supposed to be seen that way. If it was, I thought it was kind of nice, the character coming to realization with himself. The only thing immersion breaking was the build up and having John laugh. Like, when he was reading the book and started going into his personal school life. And, John, if you’re reading this, don’t take this as hate and me saying, ‘God, your life is so boring, shut up,’. Lol. I’m probably just nitpicking.
cosmic child I think what made that moment funny was John catching himself. Seemed like he made that comment without realizing what it meant for a quick second. Then when he realized, he laughed. I’m sure he didn’t mean anything by it!
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
1:08:24
oh my god that's fantastic, the fact that this comment isn't in the top 10 is a travesty.
Underrated comment holy shit
you absolute genius
thats exactly what i thought haha
Wtf are you talking about
Man... I'm speechless. This is really good.
I'm so sorry for Sam. She didn't deserve any of this.
You feel sorry for nothing? It's a game bud don't get too involved
Ok edgelord
Shes a crazy bitch
@@sacr3 ok hitler
It's interesting seeing things through the eyes of the killer. You start to feel bad for them, then remember 'oh yeah. He's the asshole in all this.' It's like Paradise Lost, you get drawn in by the main character and start routing for him and hoping he somehow wins then you realize "Oh wait. This is written from Lucifer's point of view!"
It's great writing on the developer's part.
Finally someone does the 'It was you! You were the monster all along!' twist right.
After four years I've seen the error of my ways: spoiler alert!
you know this psychological atmospheric game is similiar to taiwanese horror games like the ones made by red candle games . they are called 1)detention and 2) devotion . They follow a similiar premise of " you did it". I recommend them
@@nashlabs saw them, though isn't one on indefinite hiatus?
Aaand spoiled it
@@coder928 what are you doing in the comments? This isn't even a top comment and it's been over a month so that's on you.
I definitely agree! The "It was you all along" thing can be done right, but I swear it's a psychological horror trope that can feel similar to how an overused jump-scare in general horror movies can be. A well-written and/or well-executed jump-scare or horror trope can be good, it just depends on the perspective and effort put into it! 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
When John says it's legit scary you know it's good
John answers the phone:”hey john, it’s guys”
OMG HAHAHAHAHHAHAH YOU MADE MY NIGHT
Underrated.
We need more Guys!
@@tyfyh622 but sadly Guys is dead, only the last chapter of Sallyface it's strong enough to bring him back
"John, where is Sally Face ???? "
I’m just gonna throw this out there since no one has directly stated it in the comments, spoilers
The ending appears to be Kyle waking up from a drug overdose in which he is being tormented by the ghost of Sam. The pounding on the door represents his heart beat and the “golf pencils” that where on the ground were all the needles from his crippling addiction he took on after killing Sam.
It’s honestly a great twist ending
This game absolutely destroyed my sense of security with the desk facing away from the door.
And also... the Kayako-like rattle.
@uwu owo mee too, if it's possible, I am moving stuff around and create a barricade out of my workspace. The only thing that's worse than a desk facing away from the door is your desk facing away from the door and a mirror wall in front of you D8
The death rattle was the only thing I didn’t like. Ju-on was the first horror movie in years to legitimately creep me out mostly due to that sound, but it’s become so overused now all it prompts is an eyeroll. For a game that defied so many tropes and stereotypes, it was disappointing to hear that tired old sound effect get trotted out again.
I have my desk facing away from my door, I know how that feels
MjrKime it annoyed the shit out of me kayako is the original shit and it gets annoying when games repeatedly copy it 💀😒
I had my desk right next to the door because I hate not facing it and also I could use my desk as a barricade. My brain works on high alert lol
"This is an eye i had my game on"
*John.exe working stopped*
31:59 "i now know why they say brian and kyle are more than buds"
👀
@@midblu5368 that's what i was wondering too! not sure!
there was also a part that said "brian used to have no interest in girls" or something, implying that he wasn't interested in dating but maybe he used to have interest in kyle then??
@gamewizard I i think Brian was freaked out when he found out about the horrible things Kyle did, not because he had feelings for him
@gamewizard I what does that even mean? I seriously don't understand what you said. I'm just saying if I was Brian and found out that my best friend Kyle has feelings for me and also created rumors and planned to ruined Sam's life I would be freaked out about the latter
@gamewizard I you pulled those "lines" out of..not the game for sure. There's no definitive proof Brian's completely straight (the only hint that he "doesn't like girls" according to MC points otherwise), nor that Kyle's is completely gay.
This was interesting because they really did capture 'cringe youth journal writing' quite well
In Korean superstition, writing anyone's name or just using red ink curses a person to death. I wonder if they are applying that myth here.
So, every signed document or contract means cursed? How do you manage anything; buying houses, getting married, getting a job, getting grades from school...? Oh well, I suppose everyone does eventually die so it's not really a curse, it's just fact :)
@@Mintylight uhh, what? Calm your shit...
Andy N that’s a joke? Damn bad one...
@@Mintylight he didn't say writing your own name. He implied writing someone else's name. Have you ever signed anything with someone else's name?
Mintylight You don’t sign things with red ink... like, dude, what planet do you live on?🙄😒
The part where John exited the closet and was immediately like "aha i get it" had me cracking up

Very accurate. except change monster energy with drugs and drywall punching with murder
Who knows, maybe the whole plot was set up by Chad as the grey eminence.
Lack of .exe and hyper-realistic blood 0/10
The scares were very well-placed. They’re jump scares, but they’re clever jump scares and they reinforce the atmosphere. I really liked the story and the way it was presented, too!
Even though they're the most generic meme-jumpscares ever (most of them), they're cleverly implemented and don't overstay their welcome

14:07 you know the Game is scary when john curls up like that. Not jumping but curling together like someone just stroked your neck with his cold finger
x'D
Hueee
When you nut but she keeps sucking
Honestly, I felt it was all just a nightmare instead of a haunting. The way it says at the end that it feels like he finally woke up really hints on that. That he was dreaming and imagining the shit that was happening due to his conscious. That's just my take on it though. The game is pretty open to interpretation for either way.
Yeah, I think it was all caused by his extreme guilt from killing Sam
@gamewizard I True!
Well yeah. If it was a ghost Kyle would have died.
He was allucinating, because he did drugs to scape from the guilt, he says it at the end and you also can see the needles
The scariest parts of this game are when John gleefully tells us how much he relates to the stalker.
Sad that the jock's name isn't Chad, 0/10.

John sharing his stories about his journal is so adorable

A goddamn poet
Good ol’ relatable John lol
wow. creepy, scary and sad. i love the dignity you play/discuss with, skipping over slurs when they come up, not falling into the easy route of mocking teen emotions. real things are always the scariest - having known someone who had a stalker, it terrifies me.
I know for a fact that journaling would have been good for me as a preteen/teen, and I had PLENTY of them given as gifts and whatnot, but I was terrible about keeping up with them. I was so bad about wanting my entries to sound/look perfect instead of writing what was really on my mind. I kind of want to start back up as an adult as a good way to deal with stress.
@gamewizard I That's actually funny
God forbid anyone read my high school dairy... yacks that was rough 😂😂
Noticed how the word "lies" changed at 9:25

My husband was attacked by John. 😂😂😂😂
This is hands-down the most underrated horror game of all time. I have no idea how on earth I've never heard of it, and despite bingeing John Wolfe's vids for months, it's only just now that CZcams finally thought it would recommend this video. This was legitimately one of the scariest games I've ever seen, even with John's commentary, and despite its total reliance on written notes (which are normally my least favorite part of any horror game), it is so compelling and well-written that I stayed along for the ride, and I'm glad I did. Horror games have been extremely same-y, unoriginal, and needlessly derivative for years now, and to see one attempt even a single genuinely creative/unique scare is actually really rare from what I've seen. This game had so many that I lost count. It's also very unpredictable, which is a crucial aspect of horror that is frequently overlooked. This developer feels like an excellent movie director- they know exactly what they want and how to achieve it, and they're not afraid to take risks and trust the player to figure out the game's plot and its twists without blatantly holding the player's hand. I can't wait to see what this developer comes out with next, because as far as I'm concerned, 'Love, Sam' is a masterpiece.
*John starts talking about his personal life*
Me: gets really interested and forgets about video 😂😭
Heh.... Guilty.

As someone who also has no contact with his father who is exactly like sams in the story, It felt extra sad to hear her talk about everyone finding out about it and mocking her
Ooh, I think John missed the pencil changing to a needle for a second at 25:42 since he didn't react to it.
This was a well written game and I couldn't imagine anyone better to guide us through it than the one and only John Wolfe.
I, too, have had my game on this eye.
Excellent game!!! Loved it! Aaaand no one was a Dad that killed his whole family after going “crazy”
I don't know why but your comment made me laugh😂😂

You need a thousand likes because everyone needs to be sick of trope and "supernatural psych ward" trope.
Holy shit. This was actually pretty good. I always have low expectations for horror games, but this was pretty good. Got me a few times and I also agree that when we thought Brian was the protag it felt creepier. I like how the game was vague and mysterious, but not too vague where you dont get what the fuck was happening.

i mean killing someone and hiding it for 3 years that must be tough unless you like killing people
I read that EXCUSE YOU? in John's voice lol
@@ThaVipaa oh I don't disagree with that, if it truly was an accident then the guilt and stress of hiding it would be unimaginable.
But it's his statement of how HE'S the victim and never once saying he's sorry about what he did to Sam both mentally and ultimately physically that makes his act very selfish motivation wise. He's not doing it to bring her family closure or because he thinks it's right (he still ultimately blames Sam for everything), he's doing it because he's tired of the stress it brings him to keep lying. It's good he's taking responsibility and facing consequences but in my mind that doesn't make him any less of an asshole and monster.

11:50 LUL John's the kind of guy that hits you with "Man, I know exactly what you're going through." "Aw thanks man, really?" "No."
So... Minor spoilers, and a bit of a personal story/reflection here.
... Being a gay-leaning/raised-in-the-South guy down in the comments, I feel like I could empathize, at least partially, where Kyle was coming from during his whole jealousy-fuelled "revenge" scheme, not saying he was _right_ in what he did, but at least I can sympathize with him on how he _felt_ regarding his feelings towards Brian, and what he ended up doing.
Since I had to go through a period where I was figuring myself out, I, in the process of doing so, I ended up latching onto one of my best friends, even to the point where I believed I was "in love" with him, or something equally sappy. But, unlike Kyle, while it was fairly painful to not confess those feelings and, in turn, not possibly have then reciprocated, and even moreso when my friend had his first girlfriend, I ended up working through my feelings enough to realize my own jealousy and self-hatred, enough that I ended up seeing that while the "love" I felt was _like_ such, it was more of a projection of what I was going through, and never needed to confess those feelings in the first place.
I also, somewhat indirectly, came out to said friend not long thereafter, thankfully, he was very accepting of me, and, while we've become busier in recent years, we're still pretty good friends.
Well, that was choppy, but that was my 2¢ on this game's story and what I got out of it, essentially.
I really liked this comment. Wholesome!
not to take your comment and make it about me but as a gay dude in a really similar situation growing up I FELT this comment holy shit
like, kyle's a shitty person for what he did, but I can't help but know where he's coming from. Not to justify what he did, of course, but as you said I can sympathize with how he felt.
@@AMERICANSQVIDIOT I just want to say thanks to you and OP for this perspective on the story, and Kyle's motivations. The game is so well written anyway, that I now wonder if there was a little bit of reality in Kyle on the part of the devs.
How many girls you accidentally killed in a fit of jealousy?
dont care whatsoever
*Hears the grudge girl noises* Nope nope nope nope. I'm out.
Haha, i glad someone recognized that sound.
Yes same here, mate
@Cakey Cakey can't vouch for that.
Cuz i never met a person with twisted neck making that noise.
But i do met people with normal neck making that noise 😂.
I legit almost couldn't watch this, I felt such a sense of dread, holy shit
same i’m constantly on the edge of my seat
yeah me too! this never really happens to me while watching a playthrough and it was horrifying. there were just so many creepy and deep elements. this game felt like it invoked my depersonalization :(
MissMasquerade228 really? I was just enjoying John read. But didn’t feel any anxiousness from the game whatsoever. I wish I would have because I love that feeling!
Please straights don’t think gays are all like this we may be obsessed with a straight guy we have a crush on in hs but we’re not stalkers/murderers PLEASE
@@riggamorrischan I don't think people were thinking that?
in the end, stacy the gossip bully girl becomes the hero. or more accurately, redeemed villain.
This game's central conflict kinda reminds me of how Steve Crain from The Haunting of Hill House TV series described ghosts as representations of unfinished business or emotional connections leftover for the living from when somebody dies, and not just as a superstitious representation of death. The MC in the game is definitely being haunted, but it's fascinating because there may or may not be an actual ghost involved, there's definitely his own guilt that perpetuates his own haunting...
I really enjoyed this. Different, done well, perfect run time.
The things on the ground were syringes. They were sitting on the desk for a while and then Kyle mentions having to take drugs to get over what he did at the end there.
Thanks for another awesome let's play!
40:05 John actually getting scared :o
"whoop!"
-john
Omg, thanks! Can't wait to get to that part. The other day I was telling my brother about John and how he never gets scared.
Soft warrior Sweet, adorable John. He must be protected at all costs!
I love it when a game actually manages to scare him xD
14:07 too, don't forget about that
I suggested this game to John in comments.
John says that his friends recommend this game to him.
John just called me his friend?
Gonna write about it in my diary...
Please don't kill John's real friend.
@@aliveslice Dear diary: Why does J keep holding out on me???
The storytelling and twist was executed amazingly. The scares weren’t necessarily my cup of tea but the way everything fit together, with the hearts as well (“finish what you started”) was really satisfying to look back on
just two bros being bros
a couple of good friends
Just Guys Being Dudes.....
Bros before hoes...
aww john wrote a diary guys XD
he was innocent and pure once lmao
reading my old diary is so embarrassing i had a new crush every 3 days
I just noticed at 25:42 the pencil turning into a needle. I'm assuming Kyle has a heroine addiction and that's why, which adds a whole 'nother level of hatred of himself and need to feel something to things.
When the shoulder tap is too strong: The Game
*touches shoulder* hey
i love how some of these horror games have mini puzzles as simple as gamified ads while in adventure games you build a factory just to obtain a nail
1:21:16 John catches his joke right before it’s too late. Good job.
There was no joke, he just saw what they did there.
Huh, I've heard that first page before. It's referencing an old anecdote called "The Shortest Horror Story Ever Written" - last person left alive on Earth, but then.... a knock.
Rather odd.
glad i'm not the only one who recognized that
Well yeah the short story has been shared around the internet so much it's kind of hard to not know it.
LoL... just got to the end where they say exactly that. What I get for jumping the gun.
@@thearchive792 Yeah ....but in my case, I'd heard about it loooong time before the net was around (ol' bat) ;)
@@raiukii I love those types of stories
I just finished watching and now I'm going back to rewatch knowing everything. What a fantastic game. I had to put down what I was doing so I could just focus on the video. So much care was put into the storytelling. I kept jumping back and forth as to what the diary meant and who was writing it. I love games that unfold slowly and keep you guessing. I had no idea what was coming, and that's a rare and beautiful thing to me.
"...They also said that there is a lot of reading..."
We still undersold it.
I don't usually like games with alot of reading but this was really enjoyable. It's really interesting and a good, original story
Gave me "the grudge" vibes. First time I heard sam gasping for air i wanted to click away 😂
So in 3 years, are we going to get "still legit scary?"
Between this, Episode, Life is Strange and others I'm probably forgetting about, John sure does have to talk about how much he loves super cute boys a lot.
Add “Oh-weee-gee board” to the list of words John pronounces like an alien
i thought he said luigi board
I love the way you read in character! It makes it much more entertaining!
