- Today, we strap on the Valve Index for the most immersive look at the maps Blackbrook Asylum and Gleb , by CWardee and Иисус☦Христос, respectively. All links are below! If you get motion sickness, try watching in windowed mode. If I sound different, it's because I'm using the Index's built-in mic.

Fun fact: There is a ghost in the overgrown asylum map! The sound you've heard is her despawning I believe, as you can't get too close to her. She stares at you down from the top floor when you spawn in, it's really hard to see her, but she is there, and if you free your camera you can get a good look without her going away.
oh god maximum nope
Wtf? Didn't even notice, I just spawn NPCs and kill em to watch them fall from the top of the stairs
@@a1ais315 tbh fair enough, I only know this since I've read the comments on the workshop, which led me to test what they claimed on my own and I can indeed confirm that there is a ghost present ^^
@@meridiasbeacon7669 A new hand touches the beacon!
@@thirdhandlv4231 Listen Hear me and obey a foul darkness has seeped into my temple a darkness that you will destroy Return my beacon to Mount Kilkreath And I will make you the instrument of my cleansing light
I have an Index, the best way I can describe playing most lower-fidelity VR games is that it DOES look real like you're really there, but it looks like the entire world is made of papercraft because of the simple geometry with textures painted on. So especially Garry's Mod levels which tend to run on potatoes can look a bit angular and papercrafty. Harsh razor sharp 90 degree angles stand out as more unrealistic than usual. I'm a developer and make VR games and I find I have to bevel pretty much everything.
Of course, games with high visual fidelity built for VR like Alyx are a totally different ball game. You walk into rooms in Alyx and feel like you're in a 100% real room.
Quick tip, drum your fingers along the Index controller any time you feel like the finger detection is off. Drumming multiple times on the controller makes it attempt to recalibrate.
Really, it can recalibreate? Is there any real proof, so I can be sure, it won't be just a placebo?
@@StCost it is real, it does it automatically after a while but by drumming fingers it does it quicker
@@StCost yep, just Google index controller calibration, it's on the official page.
I’ve had it for over a year and never knew I could calibrate.
Whats the index like? was thinking about selling my rift to get an index but am not sure
The map "Exploration Gone Wrong" is a great map to venture through! A very spooky map with no serious jpeg jumpscares. Lots of ambience and is designed around sound.
oh my god YES! I love that map, and it made me genuinely spooked. I think the Amnesia Lantern mod really works with the map as well, you get a decent orange glow that surrounds you but it has a short range so you don't know what may be in front of you, keeping you in suspense, I recommend you try the lantern on any good horror map.
You’re goddamn right
@@dennisthedarklord9856 Yup! Went through it with a lantern. I sometimes find myself replaying it from time to time.
@@DrunkenLuna last night after reading the initial comment, I reinstalled the map and even to this day it still makes hairs raise, though it could be a little lighter on the jumpscares, maybe have some built up tension.
and I'll be damned if the part where you need to crawl between the pipes didn't creep me out with the sound of heavy breathing in my ears.
it's also neat to hear custom sounds/sounds from other games like Cry of fear or SOMA... not sure where the crying sound came from, my guess would be... Silent Hills P.T.?
"I think I'm gonna keep the shotgun out for my own safety, I feel a lot safer with that being the case."
Me too, man. Me too.
i feel safe until i realize you probably wont kill ghosts with a shotgun
That’s the only way I can play some horror maps, with some kind of weapon in my hand
i sort of like the inclusion, without the weapon they are just walking through a place, but when he's holding a gun, it sort of implies there's a threat (a literal chekov's gun, why would they have a gun if it's not used?)
You should make a workshop playlist of these types of maps. I don’t really know what to look for when looking for maps with this sort of vibe
Blackbrook Asylum is the first map, just a note: There is actually a ghost in this map, not a jumpscare and you can't really see her if you don't look really carefully. I won't spoil it if you wanna look for her, but I'd just leave a hint: She's gone once you get too close, and leaves a sound cue that actually can be heard in this video.
Second map is gm_gleb and also has some ghosts, several, but those are easier to find.
Maybe Asheville would be nice to check out. It is absolutely giant, but it’s pretty scenic and incredibly detailed, especially for such a huge map.
Asheville is awesome :)
Working on a course for Ashville. Think I will be done tomorrow. Any Interests in playtesting?
Honestly i wasn't watching any Garry's mod content but your commentary makes it a good watch. Keep up the good work!
It actually kinda sent me on a Garry's mod kick lul now I'm watching other people's stuff.
I'd play the game myself but 10kb/s internet doesn't like downloading gigabytes worth of mods very much usually.
x2
@@partake7591 I recommend getting an drive external if you've got a laptop (if your laptop is your gaming pc, all the better), and downloading it over free wifi at any place that offers it.
Man the source engine will always give me a unnerving nostalgic feeling
It will and will always have that feeling
It's because of the HL2 assets which which a urban decay theme
You have a great voice and commentary style, and exploring these Gmod maps has been a treat to watch in bed before I sleep lol.
Also congrats on the Index! Probably still the best general VR experience right now.
Dunno if you've played it or not, but GM_KROT is a pretty good, detailed, and spooky map. Its really big and versatile in terms of playing it in pc, vr. And playing it to explore, to do a silly gamemode, or to use horror mods to make it a stupid scary map.
Highly reccommend it, and great video!
I'm so glad you got an Index. I've had mine for about a year now and I can't recommend it enough. Definitely go play Half Life Alyx. It's a fantastic game.
😶🤝😶
My man
The asylum map did have a 'ghost' but it's only in one area and very hard to catch. Otherwise, it's just an abandoned building you can explore or make scenes or animations in.
17:16 Shadow person says 'hello'. (It's standing just to the right side of the overhanging walkway.)
WOW, there's always an eagle eye in the comments. On screen for like two seconds, in the distance, and with my head flailing everywhere!
@@TheLibrarianYT I knew of that because of my own time exploring the map and reading its comments. That other shadow I didn't know about, however. That was a new one.
don’t forget the one at the top of the stair way
@@TheLibrarianYT I find it ironic that you mentioned you thought you saw somebody on the roof; but you were looking in the wrong spot originally. 😂
This is perhaps the BEST TheLibrarian video yet! The VR first person view and slow pace really lets his commentary shine. I hope he’s able to acclimate to VR controls fully, cause I wouldn’t mind more exploration videos like this!
I would feel so uncomfortable in gmod vr .
@@killerdoughnut7233 Gmod VR makes me nervous. It really gives you that true feeling of being alone, but being watched.
19:47 i love and hate this part so much. Just the mixture of the loud ass wind and the tall bridge that just seems to go on forever that is literaly there just to show us how far out in the middle of nowhere we are.
Gmod mappers have evolved so much, they add so many details nowadays and making the maps look more lively.
Gmod in VR adds way more to the creepy liminal space feel I love it
a tip to further immerse yourself in vr. exaggerate things you'd do in real life. touch the corner and poke your head out around it. grab railing on stairs and overhangs. etc.
doing a little role playing like that goes a long way for immersion
Thanks man. Will have to get a VR setup someday, it has always seemed like the best platform for immersive horror.
Well done Chris! He is my best friend IRL and a great guy. Tall, handsome, thick and great at his job
NO actually I saw him first he's mine!
reported both of you for griefing
No better way to spend late night than to watch you explore creepy Gmod maps
Man, I cant handle these maps on my best days, I'd shit a full brick house if I tried this in VR. Props. Hope you revisit gleb and do the Easter egg cause I sure don't have the balls to attempt it.
I recommend trying both normal construct and the haunted hotel liminal space you played, in VR, and a map called gm_boreas in VR. Lastly, try a left for dead map in VR.
I explored gm_boreas just a few days ago myself! I was super impressed with the level of detail and the vastness of the map. You could tell every prop and area was placed with purpose and function in mind.
Is there any info on how to complete the easter egg. I tried but I couldn't figure it out
there is something I find oddly comedic about him getting riled up about the chimney on the roof, and thinking it was a person, while completely missing the actual shadow man next to it 17:13
Can't get enough of your liminal space and horror playthroughs, please do more VR liminal space and horror stuff it's awesome man!
Playthroughs
35:08
There actually is a map based on The Thing called "Zs_TheThing" it's meant to be used for zombie survival but you can just explore it in sandbox as well. It's based on the movie, like for real. The sets and such ect, and basically just filling in the blanks in places the movie doesn't show.
Interesting map but might be boring to explore in a video. But I thought it was worth a mention.
Yey, there's a The Thing map!
I'll check it out thanks for the suggestion
Thank you for making a discord. I look forward to seeing more content and interacting more with the community!
At 17:15 on top of the right building is a black silhouette, which disappears shortly.
You scared me by 22:35 because you switched weapons in the moment you opened the cabinet. It looked like some black monster came out.
i saw the silhouette
what would be really scary is seeing you are safe in a corner, only to turn around and there is open darkness with the slightest, darkest smile that you can only see when you look hard and really concentrate.
I know you mostly cover stuff relating to liminal/creepy space type maps but I would suggest looking at some abstract maps like some of the stuff made by nipper as most his maps have been ported to gmod and I think they're interesting.
Your curiosity and ability to really immerse yourself in a game and explore the unknown REALLY makes me want to watch you play Outer Wilds. You should definitely give it a try!!!
i don't know why but you commentating is what gets me to sleep at night
MY God that rocket launcher in the closet in the seccond map made me jump at 22:38
lol, I am so glad I didn't notice in the moment that it looks like something crawling out of the closet. Luckily I only caught it in editing, otherwise I would have had a heart attack.
This should be an entire series
Another Fun Fact: I was coughing when you said "stop coughing." It worked sooo, thank you.
"Babe, wake up. The Librarian uploaded a new video."
Having lived in a number of rust-belt and old industrial cities through the 80s and 90s that second map felt like home in a way. This was really ramped up by the echoy distant sound of the train.
RP_Riverden is a really comfy map! It’s very well built and big, really good rendering tricks help it to have high frame rate on such a detailed and big map, almost everything you see can be opened and used.
I absolutely love your channel! Its one of the best for garrys mod i have ever found. I always felt that the creepy and desolate maps have had a special place in my heart. Keep making great videos!!!
17:15, caught a ghost (top right, on the roof) without noticing
nice :)
I really like this channel because you don’t yell or scream loud like other CZcamsrs, your actually scared and worried. Your movement feels as if you think there’s something behind all the time and I don’t blame you.
Alone with headphones watching this is awesome, like I’m right there with you. Helps that you are so friendly and calming!
Yo, i recently found out about your channel, I LOVE your gmod content, I think it'd be fun if you did some liminal space gmod maps in vr like liminal hotel!
I Don't know what magic they use to scare us when we play a map that isn't really meant to be scary like gm_contruct but once you have been alone for about an hour or more completely alone the magic starts to kick in.
I wish I was just being edgy, but after a hour or so of playing gm_construct I always feel like I'm being observed, in real life. This is how unsettling that liminal space is.
love your gmod vids
Librarian: "That's the most inconsiderate ghost"
LOL! Too cute!
Is it weird I found the second map relaxing? Something about the ongoing storm and the orange lighting makes the indoor sections put me at ease. Perhaps it's the idea of feeling safe from the rain, even inside a lonely virtual world. Watching these videos when it's foggy outside only makes the viewing experience more chill -w-
Thanks for showing me the comfort of horror. I’ve always wondered why it appealed to me until you pretty much explained it to me and the community. I look forward to more creep/comfy maps! Again Thanks bud much love from Northern Ireland brother
I love these types of GMod videos where people walk around in VR and wished there were more types of them, since you kind of get a sense of scale for once of these maps.
Gmod in VR is so much Better for the Experience
The most immersive thing in any kind of visual media is sound design, that's why playing vr with a really good pair of headphones improves your experience much more than just a better vr headset
You are too brave man
Visiting Nipper's Haunted Mansion map in VR should be fun. Besides it being a great disney ride, being alone and exploring it kind of gives a lonely but watched feeling at times, especially in the back rooms. In fact, anything by Nipper or Dr Boo, especially their abstract/halloween map-packs would be amazing in VR.
(just don't forget to reset/refresh the map via the server-admin menu for the soundscapes to be activated)
I just recently installed gm_Gleb and as a person who likes making scenes and just walking around maps listening to music, I can't help but think the track "Fate of The Damned" from the game Blood (1997) really fits, making you feel alone and yet watched by something unseen. though personally as a person who's played Garry's Mod for years alone I can't say many maps scare me, but there's a few out there that at least made me feel uneasy. oddly though Gleb makes me feel almost comfortable. ahh, the infinite joys of Garry's Mod, oh how much I love it so.
So, while watching this, I had some shit stuck in my throat, so I kept coughing. Then the Librarian, out of nowhere, goes "Stop coughing" right after one of my coughs. This was at around 6:35 in.
I'd love to see more VR Gmod from you. That was surprisingly entertaining!
Just found your channel a couple days ago. Glad to see your new upload!
I couldn't get VRMod to work for myself but this style of walking through maps is a really nice fit for VR!
Sometimes you have to start it manually while in-game. If you go into the console and type "vrmod", the menu will come up with a button that will start SteamVR. If that doesn't work, maybe mod conflict?
@@TheLibrarianYT I only tried it a couple months back so i forgot what was wrong. Thanks for the heads up though, i might end up giving it another try!
very cool that you got vr . You can play liminal hotel in vr now. The thing about VR is that you can experience the actual architecture of the environments (the architecture as an art), as opposed to seeing everything though a flat screen, which is more akin to seeing a painting or a photograph.
And if the noise the props make when dragged around scares you, better you stay away from half life alyx haha. Joking of course, you absolutely have to play hla.
It’s neat seeing you do VR Urban Ex. I can’t play VR for two reasons: motion sickness and I’m just not willing to drop big $$$ on technology that’s still in its infancy in regards to the home market.
I never got motion sickness and modern vr had been out for years, my reverb g2 has the fidelity of a 4k tv, it is expensive though
@@jeff-hd9og Well I can get motion sickness if I can't see my own body but can see movement (like in VR or in a car at night). I know VR has been out for years but I'm just not impressed enough with it. I'll stick to PC and Xbox. Oh Cod... I've become just like those old farts who think PC is still best gaming platform! Nooooooo!
@@austinhinton3944 i mean it is
6:39 I coughed few times before that and you just said it. At first I didn't think about this that much, but then something in my head clicked "What did you say?", kinda unnerved me to be honest.
I remember the first map scaring me so much when i was younger, I use to spawn creepy NPCS that would ''map themselves'' onto me and constantly know where i was at all times. Creepy map, but it's cool to come back to it! Keep up the great work
30:20 You missed a freaky jumpscare with the doll. If you interact with it, it will let out a loud high pitched scream, then if you shoot it, it will make another similar sound and turn into a pool of blood on the ground replacing the couch and then a skull missing its jaw will appear on the storage rack. I thought the map was semi-normal apart from the dark figure (which you also missed while your attention was focused on what seemed to be a figure, but was just a roof vent) on the roof so this caught me so off guard and scared the shit outta me. Realised how haunted the place really is. 0_o
Definitely gonna need more of this series this is a amazing concept.
i love how immersed you feel as if i'm watching a haunted buildings expedition but this time around it's not just a haunted house, it's a haunted factory in the middle of the baltic sea or something this is soo interesting!! i once tried vr and although i could only play a few of the early vr games and my eyes started watering too quick because of the dirtiness of the headset i still really really want to experience that feeling again, but i know it's not gonna be soon
Idk if you figured it out already. But the crowbar, you just gotta hover it over something, then press the trigger. There's no physics attached to it yet.
Oh and for that load in thing, it happens in Phasmophobia too. And Everytime we feel something load in, or the games frames drop just a tic, we all report it over radio.
To be honest, about the doors, which open and which not. I just go by a rule, if it's got a handle it opens (still can be locked though) if it doesn't have a handle it doesn't open most of the time.
Well said, "most of the time".
There are functional source doors that can be spawned locked, you van interact with the handle, it'll move but wont open.
You got me back into gmod purely for the reason of exploration. I didn't realize there was this much to explore in gmod. Id love to see more vr videos! Its such a neat perspective for gmod
You are super underrated, you are entertaining to watch
just recently got into your channel, love the way you word feelings about maps and that you take your time and make it an experience
all of your videos have me on edge I love it
Even just watching it as a 2D, normal video, it's so immersive... because of the hand movements, camera movements. Games usually have the weapons, tools, etc. fixed to the camera which is functional and nice, but watching that and watching this... such a very different experience.
these videos make me so happy and idk why
The Gmod community has so many creative people, those maps are incredible!
Listening to you talk while you experience maps in VR is super relaxing! You should def make more vids like this!
It was funny seeing you mistake a piece of roof for a person in Gleb when there was a person above it lmao
you'd be surprised, I've seen abandoned buildings in the same or worse shape then that building in the beginning that have power still.
6:20 The leaves and the camera rotation made me think it was a shadow turning the corner. Probably because I watched the other GMod videos right before.
Am sorry to tell, but there is already Cry of Fear content here. Playermodels, HUD, weapons, npc and even..Maps.
Awesome video though! loving them! keep it up! ^^
You have to hold trigger to use the default crowbar. You can think of it as a ranged hitscan gun with a very low range, because that is what it is. If you search the workshop, you can also find entries for VR Crowbars, which enable you to use it just by swinging it.
Keep up the good work. glad I subscribed.
Glad I found this channel. I love these types of videos.
great video man
I really want to get VR, mainly for a bunch of other games, but also because exploring in gmod could be really fun. I made a lot of Hl2 themed maps on gmod for myself and i feel they would be awesome in VR
Now this is content I subscribed for.
lmaooo your hand going up at 15:16 gave me a small heart attack
thought it was a headcrab or something jumping at you
the atmosphere in these levels makes me so tense
From exprience, it's seriously an odd feeling to be inside gmod maps in VR. It enhances the backrooms aspect quite a bit. Great video!
Ravenholm in VR would be terrifying
Yeah stuff loading in gmod is a thing all source engine things do, it could either be a custom sound, texture, or objects, usually its objects, because it takes more space, for some reason gmod doesn't have suport for pre-cache for addons, which would help the loading problem.
I really like how you take your time with these maps and explore. Lets the ambience build up and the viewers to get immersed. One suggestion is if maybe you could bump the sound up a little for the game. Really enjoying your channel so far.
You should definitely do this again, your commentary and how you explore the maps are so entertaining.
oh wonderful a new upload, always a treat
I’ve just discovered your channel recently and your commentary is comfy. I could listen to you talk about anything for hours.
Aw man source maps feel like a home to me. Love it so much, great content :)
Congrats, you have gotten me back into my gmod phase from 4 years ago lol
The entire gm_gleb exploration segment gave me Resident Evil/Doom 3 vibes. The way you got so immersed in it while doing it was awesome. Your slow movements and commentary really made the whole thing very immersive and spooky. I'd love to see more videos like this one. By the way, is your player model Alan Wake? It seemed like him when you looked at yourself in the mirror.
Thank you, and yes it is!
the Best way to play Gmod in VR is to get the VR version's of all the base weapon's which is easy to find I think all you have to look up in the weapon's section of the workshop is VR and I think you can find them they let you actually reload with your own hand's instead of automatically also melee also works cause of the special VR version of the Crowbar where you actually swing to hit thing's they are basically the most important mod's to use with the VR mod also amazing video
The first time when you found GMOD VR, YAY!
i have a headset, vr is on a whole new level
I really really love your commentary on these sorts of things.
Can’t wait for more VR explorative stuff!
i like that you dont really edit your videos cuz your commentary is great, you have a talent for describing your feelings and the things you see without preperation
I love these gmod vids
