Holy crap, I thought I was the only one! Okay, I have a couple of short stories for you, or anyone who wishes to read: I was like ten years old, and I was playing this Nascar game on the ps1, and during the car select screen, I turned the car upside down and I could see the flat grey bottom of it, for some reason I got so scared I ran out of the room, it took me like an hour to work up the courage to continue playing. And this one's relatively recent, I was playing Hat in Time, and I was doing just what this guy is doing, exploring out of bounds. I saw this giant Mafia head in the distance, and it was like scary, but I wanted to see it. It took twenty minutes to get over there, the whole time fighting this unexplainable fear I was getting, and for what? Just as I got close, it teleported me back to the actual play area.
Here is my reasoning for fear of out of bounds Video games are fun, even when they're scary. we all know that the horror is intentional, and we usually have an explanation for it. But going out of bounds in games, it's unintentional. It's something the developers didn't want you to do. but that's only a small part of it. when you are out of bounds. you are *alone.* When you are out of bounds, you are out of *existence.* you have broken the barrier to this game's reality. you have crossed into something known, yet unknown. another, empty, universe. a blank universe, a universe never meant to exist. it's like the darkness. you know nothing will jump out of it to get you, but when you are having a staring contest with a plain of infinite void, it's hard to remember everything is all right. sometimes going out of bounds can even give you an existential crisis. but hell is it still fun.
Elijah Hanson I think you're just really edgy. Going out of bound doesnt mean, "you are out of existence." It just shows how the developers use tricks to make the background look lively and complex.
When you stare into the void, does the void stare back? Jokes aside, that's hella edgy, man. I think you may need to come to realize that it's only a video game.
I have that same fear, I remember when I was about 7 I clipped out of bounds in a Lego marvel game, and I was just falling with a peach colored background, and I just got creeped out.
I had something similar to your OOB fear. I used to play Disney Infinity, and whenever you got close to the death plane (the bottom of the map), this creepy white haze would show up and this disturbing beeping noise. (it reminded me of those radio interruption tones that play when there's dangerous weather) It always scared me so much, and even worse- I can't find any trace of this online.
I feel like the out of bounds fear comes from the fear of being stranded. It may have something to do with how the music fades out and how things start to render out.
Really, please try it again when the invisible walls are removed or with a newer version of the mod or anything that make it possible to get closer!!!!!
I have that feeling too, it comes from knowing your doing something wrong (in-game wise) and a lack of music as the games response too, I guess it’s more a fear of like the game getting mad at you or something for it? It’s like staring into a mirror until you get uncomfortable. Nothing wrong with it, just doesn’t feels right
when I was like 9 I had a toy story 3 game on the wii and there was this train level I fell out of bounds in. It went white and I fell for like 3 minutes. Now at that point I was already scared shitless cause I was 9 but then it teleported me back up and I got literally stuck in an prop and it started to glitch out. It froze and just had the most ear piercing sound play, then my Wii couldn't read the disc. I have been terrified of out of bounds areas since.
I love going out of bounds probably one of my favorite things to do in video games. (Some times even more so than playing the game). It's like taking a look into the fabric of reality and seeing what's really behind video games and the illusions they use.
I also have that fear. I feel like I'm falling forever and it's a lot like the emptiness of space and stuff. (I know that this is poorly worded but you get the idea.)
toniseanandcarter toniseanandcarter To make the levels feel real. If there were no surroundings, it would look like floating islands (just like hat kingdom)
I have the same phobia. I think with me it's because there's nothing out of the boundaries and that sense of nothingness really can be unsettling. Topped with the level music fading out adds to the anxiety that this isn't right.
honestly subnautica's out of bounds or "dead zone/void" really scares me. it technically isn't out of bounds, but the ocean floor drops off and all you are left with is an infinite sea of nothing but micro organisms and giant glowing sea serpents.
I’d get scared to it’s like if I’m playing a game where my character is underwater like subnautica or sea of thieves, not scary but just makes you uneasy
That phobia is weird I have it bur if its a desolate open area my mind makes me think theres "something" out there like looking under a large expansive sea
I have it, but with the metro kingdom background, those skyscrapers, no one is there, just low poly cars, it fells so lonely, but specially the tallest skyscraper in the background causes me the keno phobia or something indescribable. I dreamed of going there and that it was solid ground
Yea I feel really uncomfortable when going out of bounds. Just the feeling that there's nothing out there, and you're not supposed to be there anyway 😂
Going out of bounds in Legend of Zelda Breath Of The Wild was cool as first, but then the nonsensical world I was in eventually got to me. It just felt empty.
Just found ur channel and I like this vid. I also have that phobia of going out of bounds in games for some reason, but I also have a phobia of the skyboxes in Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 because idk
I have out of bounds phobia or whatever its called too. It almost like im scared when a character is out of bounds, just relizing that everything actually does have a limit and is not as big as you thought.,
11:48 same bro. I use to have nightmares of me getting out of bounds somewhere and constantly falling through different objects because they’re not solid and it used to scare the crap out of me
Every kingdom: Yeah this one's gonna be real different from the rest were of them guys! It looks like there's nothing to explore, so let's move onto the next one. Oh no invisible walls! The music's stopped! Is it solid? It's not solid. I didn't expect it to be. So turns out that's a texture. In all seriousness great video!
I have a similar fear to you, except I only freak out when I'm not expecting to fall through the ground or otherwise, if i'm expecting it, and want to do it, I love going out of bounds
You have to admit though, the backgrounds in this game are really beautiful
True
I admit it
So true I admit
Gud

Well though out

When you stare into the void, does the void stare back?
Jokes aside, that's hella edgy, man. I think you may need to come to realize that it's only a video game.
I get that weird phobia when I almost die and go out of bounds. Its so uncomfortable😖. But this video is really cool!
I agree
I have that same fear, I remember when I was about 7 I clipped out of bounds in a Lego marvel game, and I was just falling with a peach colored background, and I just got creeped out.
The weird part about it is, I'm just fine watching someone else clip.
Both same

8:52 "there really isn't a whole lot to see out here" is the pun intended? See? Sea? Sea side kingdom and water? Coincidence? I think not! 😁
very punny lol
But that's just a theory
A GAME THEORY
I agree
when I go into the deep woods in the wooded kingdom I get anxiety
i get that fear of out-of-bounds in games too, i'd imagine it's something about being somewhere you clearly weren't supposed to get to
I have the opposite of that phobia. I love out of bounds stuff. When the distant mountains become a cardboard cutout and stuff. I love it
I do have that phobia I feel like something will come out of the darkness and eat me
I feel like the out of bounds fear comes from the fear of being stranded. It may have something to do with how the music fades out and how things start to render out.
yeah thats probably right
Yeah I have that kinda creepy feeling when I go outta bounds too lol
I agree
Out of bounds phobia? Totally. Makes my spine crawl...
Really, please try it again when the invisible walls are removed or with a newer version of the mod or anything that make it possible to get closer!!!!!
*cough*
*sneeze*
*breathe*
*burp*
*sniff*
ok
I also had that phobia, but more when I'm falling endlessly into the ocean, like in GTA 5
Yeahhhhh, thats so strange dude, i have this strange phobia that i cant go to gta 5 ocean, cause im scared
I agree
13:55 nah Bowser just farted

Great video! I liked the mushroom kingdom the most.

Is the Rock Solid? Let’s see, is it Solid?!!

Yes we saw the video
You don't have to change the file if you fall, just change to assist mode
I love going out of bounds probably one of my favorite things to do in video games. (Some times even more so than playing the game). It's like taking a look into the fabric of reality and seeing what's really behind video games and the illusions they use.
Same I didn't know someone had the same fear as me. BTW falling out of bounds in Mirrors Edge is terrifying
Aysa Garcia same
Yeah I'm afraid of OOB as well
I have that exact same fear, but I somewhat enjoy that fear. I can't help, but keep doing it, no matter how much it is scaring me.
you know there's a mod to remove those invisible walls eh?
I have the same phobia! Idk what it is about oob in games that’s so terrifying to me. Maybe it’s a fear of the unknown? Who knows
I have it too
Me 3...I think
Same...
Maybe its a fear of being stuck there
I have the same fear
Its weird idk why I'm scared of oob
I also have that fear. I feel like I'm falling forever and it's a lot like the emptiness of space and stuff. (I know that this is poorly worded but you get the idea.)
Yeah I had no idea what I was talking about. At least you're not hating. Thank you for being a good person.
OMG YES I HAVE THE SAME PHOBIA!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
SHUT THE FUCK UP ITS NOT A PHOBIA ITS AN IRRATIONAL FEAR WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK ITS A FUCKING PHOBIA
@@stereoreserve irrational fears... are phobias?? thats what a phobia is?? calm down
I always wanted to see this!
nas malik me 2
Imagine if there was a power moon all the way out there.

Mario: OOF
I agree
Thanks man- I've always wanted to know what was out there!
Metro kingdom is definitely the most intresting
Imagine jumping from cap kingdom to cascade kingdom
I agree
In version two of the mod it removes the invisible walls.
You can known if a platform is solid or not.
If its not, you cant see your shadow.
If it is, you see your shadow.
12:22
Sometimes objects without collision can have shadows
Wow, so you're telling me that all that stuff that we're not supposed to step on... AREN'T SOLID?
its a conspiracy
it makes since why would they take the time?
toniseanandcarter toniseanandcarter To make the levels feel real. If there were no surroundings, it would look like floating islands (just like hat kingdom)
6:10 The cheep cheep glitch breaks out of there
Yea I have that same sort of anxiety/fear when I go out of bounds. It’s cause there’s just endless nothing and it’s disturbing.
Yes I very much do. I was always terrified of running into the fabled out of bounds fairy in OOT
Try to make it to the spynx and car ships that you get moons from
I have the same phobia. I think with me it's because there's nothing out of the boundaries and that sense of nothingness really can be unsettling. Topped with the level music fading out adds to the anxiety that this isn't right.
Same
In the cap kingdom if you go to top hat tower you can see the cascade kingdom
Mario 8bit really? Thats awesome
Henry S yeah! Try it
There's already a no collision mod, right? Also, you can just change mode instead of reloading saves :p
kool

R/woooosh, Its the whole sense of the comment, i know he wont notice me, im just seeing who is actually so dumb to respond like that
I get scared about the same stuff man. It just creeps me out kinda
i actually have that fear of out of bounds,too, its really odd
Yes I have that out of bounds anxiety as well
honestly subnautica's out of bounds or "dead zone/void" really scares me. it technically isn't out of bounds, but the ocean floor drops off and all you are left with is an infinite sea of nothing but micro organisms and giant glowing sea serpents.
When you can see something from one side but not from the other it's called "back-faced culling"
I also have that weird phobia. And the scariest thing is falling through the ground.
8:52 Not a lot to “sea” out here
I’d get scared to it’s like if I’m playing a game where my character is underwater like subnautica or sea of thieves, not scary but just makes you uneasy
I agree
I thought I was the only one with that phobia! Glad im nof alone
i think i have that phobia too
Its weird. I have the same "fear' of going out of bounds. Just seeing the screen flicker black from out of bounds makes me shiver. it's so strange.
Rhodyn yeah me too... weird...
How does he run was fast
Me too...I guess I just don't like seeing such a beautiful and well-made game have those paper thin walls and whatnot.
Metro. Has. Collisions. one of the tiny buildings i saw someone land on it then fly right off it using the letter glitch.
Link?
I have a phobia of being out of bounds in videogames too
11:52 I KNOW RIGHT
It seems like I'm not the only one who feels unsafe everytime i go out of bounds
BoundPhobia
same i have that same phobia especially when u get outside the skybox and its just a solid color or pitch black
yooo I thought I was the only one with that fear
The invisible walls are what define out of bounds.....
The mod should be updated so the invisible walls could be removed and the moon jump could be controlled like the one in SM64.....
Explore moon cave dann!
Punchy Breloom yeah
Why isn't there a mod to exploit invisible walls.
Cinder Fall there is
Goblinlight104 so why doesn't he use it?
Cinder Fall on the last vid he did.
Cinder Fall it doesn’t work with old mods.
Yeah dude I have that same feeling! I thought I was the only one!
I have that out of bounds fear too I thought I was the only one
I both hate and love the ruined kingdom. It just screams lost potential.
That phobia is weird I have it bur if its a desolate open area my mind makes me think theres "something" out there like looking under a large expansive sea
you shouldve groundpounded in wooded to see if you wouldve gone to the deep woods
I have that same anxiety you speak of!!!! Thought I was the only ine
My favs kingdoms were actually the cloud and ruined kingdoms, they could have been a lot better than just battle arenas
Same here
Out of bounds and unfinished levels creep me out too
11:43 Actually the reason for that is you probably have kenophobia which is the fear of empty spaces or voids.
I have kenophbia too
whenever i see glitched textures or going out of bounds i swear my body just shakes for some reason and idk why
I have it, but with the metro kingdom background, those skyscrapers, no one is there, just low poly cars, it fells so lonely, but specially the tallest skyscraper in the background causes me the keno phobia or something indescribable. I dreamed of going there and that it was solid ground
Isn't there a newer version of the mod that removes invisible walls?

Yes, yes, yes,4hanks so much I asked so many times for this and now you made a video on it.I am so exited!!!!!!!
In the sand Kingdom you can use the flying guy and you don't have to use a mod I've done it so many times before it's really fun
8:53
there really anything to SEA out here
I do get a weird feeling when I'm oob

Jesus it seems like a ton of people in the comments have it
11:48 same bro. I use to have nightmares of me getting out of bounds somewhere and constantly falling through different objects because they’re not solid and it used to scare the crap out of me
Inkling Boy, Me too?!
Oh, wait wait wait, can you maybe try it out with the no collision mod again? That would be awesome, please do it!!!
Oh man thats gonna be interesting
In skyrim I get serious boundphobia
What if you go to the yoshi tree while in mushroom kingdom?
Omg same I get anxiety when I get out of bounds idk why but my heart literally drops
9:39 its a 3D model, b-
*too bad, it was a 3D model, now its WALUIIIII-*
i get so much anxiety from that XD idk why
I feel like the same when I get out of bounds.
Thanks so much for making this video!! You solved so many mysterious I had with the backgrounds in Super Mario Odyessy and stuff! Yay!
I HAVE THE SAME PHOBIA I have a fear of empty 3D space and I have to work with a bunch for 3D programs for my degree and its honestly horrible
Every kingdom:
Yeah this one's gonna be real different from the rest were of them guys!
It looks like there's nothing to explore, so let's move onto the next one.
Oh no invisible walls!
The music's stopped!
Is it solid? It's not solid. I didn't expect it to be.
So turns out that's a texture.

Metro Kingdom is pretty small and boring sometimes..if only the backround is also part of the map 💙
True
Glad to see I’m not the only one who uses Waluigi’s hat with the Crazy Cap outfit.
Either that or Wario’s. They really fit.
Hey dann I have an idea for your next episode. Try to jump to the moon and check if it will load up the kingdom or if it is just a texture
It is just a texture...
