Actually abyssal plains are often very barren due to a lack of food, they’re essentially underwater deserts, that’s why whalefalls are such special events, and that’s why animals there get big, to move bigger distances with less energy
I understand its an abyss but this is like the only good ocean map on the workshop and i mean thay in the fact its the only one with stuff on the ocean floor so im wondering if you'll be able to add like more stuff so its not so barren like shipwrecks flora yk stuff like that
Man's in VR, wielding both a gun and a flashlight in the dark. In the fucking abyss. With blood everywhere with no corpses nor people around. Knowing there's a menace named "Charles the Cannonball" who is loose in the base. And you all wonder how he gets scared.
i knew you would play this map, actually was gonna suggest it to you few things to note: 1. the blinking blue lights in the angler station signifies the station is out of oxygen, you will need to go to the room with the O2 canisters to regenerate the oxygen 2. there's a lot of iron lung 'inspired' aspects, like the camera screen, the portal or "void" as it's called in the files, heck, most of the sounds are from it 3. i found a couple of things in the files, mainly the "chest" sound file that you found when entering the void, its sound file is named "timer", despite that i don't really think it does anything. in the angler station, you can find a security room, with a polaroid(?) photograph of what looks like an office with the caption "HOME SWEET HOME", its material name is insidejoke, funnily enough
i worked on some of the textures on the map and know the creator personally, the polaroid on the desk is a joke based on a thing that happened while testing. we didn't have the security office yet, so the guy roleplaying as the guard sprayed a picture of an office on a hallway wall and stared at it
24:27 once I actually got jumpscared by someone swimming outside a window while I was in the Odyssey submarine in Bali. About 10 years ago. He lingered around for a minute so I saw who he was, but that's the thing, you just don't expect anything to swim towards the window and actively looking in.
I've played this map just this day and it was so Eerie because the ambient sounds made me scare not to move around, i really used to have a phobia on water so everytime i swim i don't go much deeper and believe or not Underwater can be scary too not even haunted places outside the water. Really really scary map and thanks to the creator of the map also for reuploading it again
@@SellerOfFruit yea, pretty much, feels unsettling, fast heart beat, whenever I do the submarine mission, I have to go into first person, put in inside the submarine
I would absolutely love to see outer wilds on this channel! It's perfect game for vocalizing your thoughts and openly theorising, librarian would love it.
You should consider trying out a game called Soma if you haven’t yet. This map gives me the same feelings as that game and I think you’d enjoy it. I’d love to see more ocean related horror on your channel, listening to someone else talk about it is fascinating to me.
Sadly, Librarian said on his Discord that he still remembers SOMA from a playthrough he saw, and so replaying it won't have this much of an impact But, maybe
49:16 I always thought of that texture as the shadow that's left by a person after a nuclear blast that's why it would be on a wall instead of the floor
Librarian: This map has something hidden in the dark so we actually have to explore dark corners Also Librarian after swimming away 3 meters from Betsy: *WHERE IS MY CHILD WHERES MY BETSY WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER*
I had no idea how big this map was. When me and my friend were role-playing on it all we new was the main base and the submarine. I remember we were role-playing as apart of a crew with NPCs making up the rest. I had made this make shift sub that I had sent through the airlock but because of how poorly made it was it ended up getting stuck on the slope in front of the base. So I went out there decided to give my friend a good scare. Take in my friend has thalassophobia. I went out there and turned off the light on the sub to make up that I had lost it. I quickly then stopped talking after following the path. I then placed a corpse outside of the window in the upper room. He got a big scare from that then went out into the water himself to find me. I then placed a corpse with my player model and changed my player model to the corpse skin. I tied my corpse to the light just before the flickering one then moved to the one ahead of the flickering one. He was so scarred upon seeing the corpse and wouldn't continue forward, so I ran out of the dark at him and got a harpoon to the face.
Your commentary at 36:00, yeah, this is what I did & it is what I love about this map. I used a drone from the Drones Rewrite mod & used it as an auxilary exploration unit. It was a lot of fun bouncing between the main sub, the drone & my own navigation skills to uncover everything in this map. This map is like a game within a game thanks to the level of interactivity with it. Just let your imagination run wild.
Great video as always, Librarian! I wanted to leave a map request here. The name of the map in particular is gm_gmall, and it's basically a relatively large exploration map. Although it doesn't have much of a fear factor to it, it is chock full of easter-eggs, cozy shops, and what-not, which I think you'd greatly enjoy checking out in VR.
"[this map] is touching on a number of my greatest gaming phobias [...] takes place on several bases at the bottom of the ocean." By God, if you haven't already, you should do a Soma playthrough. Easily fits that criteria as well as being one of the finest horror/psychological horror games ever made. It's mostly about environmental storytelling and dialogue between characters, but there are some enemies. If you prefer, it has a mode where the enemies can't really hurt you, so you can just enjoy the environment and what's going on around you rather than dealing with run-and-hide-style gameplay mechanics that are (in my opinion) lackluster. If you haven't experienced the game, try to go into it totally blind.
@@KusunokiSG47 As much as I love Subnautica, it just isn’t the same experience. The environment in Soma is only half the fun. The rest is the deeply distressing story that slowly unfolds to give you a glimpse to just how … non ideal everything is. The plot is amazing. Subnautica mods can’t mimic that, I feel.
35:52 That reminds of Barotrauma, with it's different, specialized stations that the player and their crew can go visit for supplies, missions, and so forth!
32:22 I couldn't help but imagine someone standing motionless behind you while you were distracted an monologuing. Like if the cannibal had snuck onboard, and you'd have been none the wiser. Creeped me out more than the abyss.
yo my dude, i recommend playing a game called "scanner sombre" its exactly like the lidar gamemode, but instead you have to map out a cave since you don't have any lights, its really cool and i think you'd love it
It may be too complicated for the channel, and the game is more geared towards multi-player, but I'd like to see you play Barotrauma. It's a survival horror game where you play as a submarine crew in an alien ocean. It has a campaign mode for single player where you can swap between the different crew members.
Imagining yourself as the character in the game makes it a lot more terrifying. Playing anything in VR can make it more scary. Combining them both it truly the best way to play horror games
Hey Librarian, i'm just here to say that you are my inspiration to start posting videos on youtube. Thanks for everything, you are the best CZcamsr ever, your content is unique and special. Keep it up.
Mr. Librarian you really have a way of explaining depth precise perspectives on what you see in your own world, especially in g-mod and gaining especially, in this interesting. Fascination with the ideas of knowing the unknown Through understanding through knowledge, interknowledge and how you and your audience grasp it in your own way.
I adore how immersed you get in this old game with this amazing community content. keep up the amazing explorations!!! can't wait till I snag a vr headset just to scare myself shitless
Man this was freaking amazing I was on the edge of my seat I had goosebumps just waiting for something to pop out of the darkness through the window something like that I really hope that you do a part two on this map to see if there's anything else out there
The alarm was caused because in that station you need to keep pressing a button in a computer to replenish the oxygen on that base. dunno why the others doesnt have the same mechanic.
Probably because it'd be too much hassle to apply it to all four bases, or to do it on all four bases would exceed the Source Engine's entity limit for a map. Because the Source Engine does have an entity limit.
on the bit regarding the chest making strange noises: i threw the clip from around 46:00 to maybe 46:15 into audacity and did some fiddling with the spectrogram settings and slowing it on down and found strange blue, almost Morse Code characters (albeit blurry ones) above the main chunk of the sound, unfortunately i wasn't able to get very far but hopefully this opens the door for someone more talented to get to the bottom of it
I love marine biology and deep sea marine biology as a whole, I really want to go explore the depths. Seeing stuff like this makes me giddy instead of horrified.
As a person with thalassophobia I completely despise this video but still I am very intrigued by The Librarian's videos and so I just watched through the entire thing. Overall, one of the most conflicting videos I have ever seen on this channel.
The underwater base sections of this map remind me heavily of SOMA, which is one of my all time favorite games. I even think I recognized a few sound effects in the video from it! I love the game to death, and I whole heartedly recommend it if you haven’t played it already. It fits with a lot of what you said in the video, and I most certainly felt that “safety bubble” feeling in a few specific sections.
You've brought up multiple times your fearful love for the deep ocean, I think you'd enjoy Barotrauma, essentially, you and some buddies are a submarine crew beneath the ice of one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, with all manner of deep sea horrors to interact with
I can definetely tell that this was heavily inspired from Iron Lung: The sub, The ambience that uses Iron lung sounds and that one wormhole which used the Iron Lung sound too. But I don't know how to describe my feelings about this map. It was a strange and frightening adventure based on Submechanophobia and Thallasophobia (My 2 main phobias) And i kinda liked it
Hey if you want to play a terrifying space game then I'd suggest Outer Wilds, and subsequently the DLC (for no particular reason) i think it would fit beautifully. Not to be confused with the outer worlds
What I found also enjoyable is making things feel like home. For example I customized and furnished the submarine, putting some fellow crewmates inside for the journey ahead.
as someone who has spent all their life living on a boat, this kinda thing is deeply unsettling to me and i can't exactly put my finger on why, just something about the rusty blue bulky metal and the portholes leading to the abyss gives me a very specific feeling, almost nostalgia in a way, but the really creepy and eerie kind.
man, i cant wait till your channel gets popular and you start to get more subs and views each day, your channel deserves it with all the great hidden gems you make
Honestly this map gives me scp containment breach vibes just the feeling of being alone in this vast unknown building/buildings and not knowing what lies ahead is just eerie
my friend got me to download this map and i didnt even realise it was even remotely disturbing until i came across the cannibal easter egg i should've read the description
I really enjoy watching your content because of your very calm and love the background chat you give it is very easy to calm down and chill out and watch your videos, also forgot to add that your gmod videos are very entertaining because I really enjoy just exploring new things and they are very interesting
That vibe you got from the home base (personally) is from a game called don’t escape 3 i dont know if you’ve ever heard of it but this map definitely gives me don’t escape 3 vibes
When you pressed that button in the oxygen room, that didn’t deplete the O2, that refilled the tanks. The blue flashing light means the base is out of oxygen and you are rapidly losing health, meaning you have to run to the O2 room and refill the oxygen. Also, there’s a minor detail you missed in the security room. It has some weapons in there like a harpoon and crossbow, and the panel on the back wall allows you to activate several lockdown doors as well as locking yourself inside the security room
There are many things you've missed in here that I think are worth coming back to. For starters, the lab has this little hatch, right in front of the samples' containers, press the Use key on it and you can enter it. And then, in regards to that "Peculiar Chest" you find from the "Light-That-Teleports-You" (Yes, I'm typing names Lovecraft-like), when you get teleported back, so does the chest. With that chest, find this place that is also deep underwater, shaped like a cube. The chest will give another item from that cube, find the "Scary-Spike-That-Makes-Weird-Noise-And-Emits-Red-Light" and you'll figure out the rest. Oh and, if you have patience, please stay more than a hour or at least half in the Submarine itself, keep it moving. I noticed it had some random events going on in it.
I have a story for this map, this map takes place after the events of Iron Lung. The team have finally found a blood ocean shallow enough where people can dove down in and die, the sub on the map is an upgraded version of the SM13 with auto steering and a live camera to navigate. Once the team found the perfect blood ocean they started to build a base under the water, this was the place with the pillars and the mountain of bones, after the failure they moved east and build the 1st successful base where they did research and lived. But that was only the beginning.
when the o2 alarms went off i pulled out the subnautica ost, first i put on leviathan since its what plays when stuff goes down, then when he yelled abandon ship i put on, well, abandon ship. this was quite funny. and also thanks for making this video, i have been actively waiting for this, i have been actively engaging with this maps discoveris and i just really like this map, so thanks, thanks a lot : ) i would also like to share some thought: i love this channel you talk about comfy and creepy having a strong resemblence with each other and i think the way you just act in these vids really goes hand and hand.
This man within 14 minutes got attacked by “gulper” (what the community named it) three times. twice in the sub and then the first death..i wish he died to the border eater when he walked on the bones in all my tome of playing (i think 3-4 hours) ive never seen the gulper once..i also have yet to find the orb so im hoping with this video ill be able to (and thanks to me asking for a map there is as of writing this a partial but basically complete map in the theories page)
Seriously i would have died IRL multiple times at the start if i played that in VR and i appeared in the dark ocean like that. ESPECIALLY IF I SAW THE SUB MOVING AWAY AFTER I GO OUTSIDE!
We need a map that hates you. Or a game. It can be in subtle ways, blatant ways, minor and large ways but there is something in the game that despises you and will make you frustrated and uncomfortable and angry. Just the most mean tricks, cheap scares when you don’t expect and subtle scares in between, every expectation subverted to keep you completely on edge and paranoid for the whole experience. Whatever the entity is, it is the worst thing. Everything is caused by it, and in any direct confrontation it will cripple you. Chase scenes where it spots you, your screen goes red and wobbly as it scream hisses and pinballs towards you. Walls collapse and mold to push you in worse directions but eventually you reach it’s barrier and slam the door behind you. It will mock you when it catches you and when you think you’ve achieved something, hiding keys that open doors to pitfalls and shotgun traps. Overall just the dirtiest series of tricks and mockery as the entity becomes increasingly frustrated at your existence, culminating in a confrontation where it is tearing itself apart to get near you and ending with you feeling almost sorry for it, despite everything
i agree with the elementary, scared of just hearing about something terrifying maybe existing but then i remember my dumb ass believing my friend telling me about a vending machine in area 51 that sold real chucky dolls and that terrifying me
So, btw- both dolls make the jingle from SOMA. It's a reference to Katherine's bear you can find in crew headquarters. And shrine thing is the reference to breathing monolith from Iron Lung
this for some reason reminded me of this really good story driven horror game SOMA, old but really good with this kinda aesthetic except scaled up to oblivion
I've had a nightmare like this. I was being dragged by someone across a bridge to an oil refinery. I knew I was gonna die. I awoke at the oil refinery and moved around, knowing that at any point he could just be there ready to kill me.

i knew you would play this map, actually was gonna suggest it to you
few things to note:
1. the blinking blue lights in the angler station signifies the station is out of oxygen, you will need to go to the room with the O2 canisters to regenerate the oxygen
2. there's a lot of iron lung 'inspired' aspects, like the camera screen, the portal or "void" as it's called in the files, heck, most of the sounds are from it
3. i found a couple of things in the files, mainly the "chest" sound file that you found when entering the void, its sound file is named "timer", despite that i don't really think it does anything. in the angler station, you can find a security room, with a polaroid(?) photograph of what looks like an office with the caption "HOME SWEET HOME", its material name is insidejoke, funnily enough
i worked on some of the textures on the map and know the creator personally, the polaroid on the desk is a joke based on a thing that happened while testing.

man, i cant wait till your channel gets popular and you start to get more subs and views each day, your channel deserves it with all the great hidden gems you make
Honestly this map gives me scp containment breach vibes just the feeling of being alone in this vast unknown building/buildings and not knowing what lies ahead is just eerie
Submechanophobia :
The fear of sunken man made structures (examples: shipwrecks, the Titanic, buildings and statues)
This is one of my favorite multiplayer maps, it's funnier getting scared with friends i guess.
I have those exact thoughts with the submarine/base idea! When I was younger I used to pretend I was in a submarine to help me sleep.
my friend got me to download this map and i didnt even realise it was even remotely disturbing until i came across the cannibal easter egg
i should've read the description
I came in ther straped with a minigun
I'm really glad you played this map, an instant favorite
Facing your phobia is pretty terrifying
I am also sacred of deep waters, specifically if I can't see the bottom or I am at the bottom
I really enjoy watching your content because of your very calm and love the background chat you give it is very easy to calm down and chill out and watch your videos, also forgot to add that your gmod videos are very entertaining because I really enjoy just exploring new things and they are very interesting
This map gives off massive baurotrauma vibes with the underwater bases and submarine travel
Replace Charles with the clown and it'll be perfect 👌
That vibe you got from the home base (personally) is from a game called don’t escape 3 i dont know if you’ve ever heard of it but this map definitely gives me don’t escape 3 vibes
4:56 me beginning to go feral wanting Librarian to press the green button, when he turns around and heads for the ladder instead
it's weird how afraid of the ocean most people are. I love the ocean with all my heart, it's full of wonderful things like slugs and fish and whales.
When you pressed that button in the oxygen room, that didn’t deplete the O2, that refilled the tanks. The blue flashing light means the base is out of oxygen and you are rapidly losing health, meaning you have to run to the O2 room and refill the oxygen. Also, there’s a minor detail you missed in the security room. It has some weapons in there like a harpoon and crossbow, and the panel on the back wall allows you to activate several lockdown doors as well as locking yourself inside the security room
omg this so reminds me of soma which is the exact concept but different storyline and game play but overall this is a wonderful video nice work
There are many things you've missed in here that I think are worth coming back to.
For starters, the lab has this little hatch, right in front of the samples' containers, press the Use key on it and you can enter it.
And then, in regards to that "Peculiar Chest" you find from the "Light-That-Teleports-You" (Yes, I'm typing names Lovecraft-like), when you get teleported back, so does the chest. With that chest, find this place that is also deep underwater, shaped like a cube.
The chest will give another item from that cube, find the "Scary-Spike-That-Makes-Weird-Noise-And-Emits-Red-Light" and you'll figure out the rest.
Oh and, if you have patience, please stay more than a hour or at least half in the Submarine itself, keep it moving. I noticed it had some random events going on in it.
I have a story for this map, this map takes place after the events of Iron Lung. The team have finally found a blood ocean shallow enough where people can dove down in and die, the sub on the map is an upgraded version of the SM13 with auto steering and a live camera to navigate. Once the team found the perfect blood ocean they started to build a base under the water, this was the place with the pillars and the mountain of bones, after the failure they moved east and build the 1st successful base where they did research and lived. But that was only the beginning.
Its water though
i explored this yesterday and instantly wanted to watch a video of librarian exploring it,my wish came true.
when the o2 alarms went off i pulled out the subnautica ost, first i put on leviathan since its what plays when stuff goes down, then when he yelled abandon ship i put on, well, abandon ship. this was quite funny.
and also thanks for making this video, i have been actively waiting for this, i have been actively engaging with this maps discoveris and i just really like this map, so thanks, thanks a lot : )
i would also like to share some thought:
i love this channel you talk about comfy and creepy having a strong resemblence with each other and i think the way you just act in these vids really goes hand and hand.
I saw this on the workshop, played it, and immediately knew you'd check it out!
This man within 14 minutes got attacked by “gulper” (what the community named it) three times. twice in the sub and then the first death..i wish he died to the border eater when he walked on the bones in all my tome of playing (i think 3-4 hours) ive never seen the gulper once..i also have yet to find the orb so im hoping with this video ill be able to (and thanks to me asking for a map there is as of writing this a partial but basically complete map in the theories page)
The WHAT
The gulper is the official name for it i think
Funny how the ocean can be extremely terrifying, and beautiful at the same time, depending on what part of it you're in.
13:30 the bends got you
fog_enable_water_fog 0
This is a helpful command to let me see the map
Me with submechanophobia: Ah yes, pain for myself. Perfect to watch
Seriously i would have died IRL multiple times at the start if i played that in VR and i appeared in the dark ocean like that. ESPECIALLY IF I SAW THE SUB MOVING AWAY AFTER I GO OUTSIDE!
Liked the video right as you started talking about ksp
im ngl iv been constipated for many days and this video changed that. unfortunately i wasnt watching the video on the toilet
Okay, an Iron Lung loveletter made in Gmod.
This is wonderfully neat!
new DLC to 'Iron Lung' looks amazing
We need a map that hates you. Or a game. It can be in subtle ways, blatant ways, minor and large ways but there is something in the game that despises you and will make you frustrated and uncomfortable and angry. Just the most mean tricks, cheap scares when you don’t expect and subtle scares in between, every expectation subverted to keep you completely on edge and paranoid for the whole experience. Whatever the entity is, it is the worst thing. Everything is caused by it, and in any direct confrontation it will cripple you. Chase scenes where it spots you, your screen goes red and wobbly as it scream hisses and pinballs towards you. Walls collapse and mold to push you in worse directions but eventually you reach it’s barrier and slam the door behind you. It will mock you when it catches you and when you think you’ve achieved something, hiding keys that open doors to pitfalls and shotgun traps. Overall just the dirtiest series of tricks and mockery as the entity becomes increasingly frustrated at your existence, culminating in a confrontation where it is tearing itself apart to get near you and ending with you feeling almost sorry for it, despite everything
“An ocean without unnamed monsters would be like sleep without dreams.”
― John Steinbeck
I too noticed the Soma sounds and the similar vibe to the "omega sector" from that game.
i agree with the elementary, scared of just hearing about something terrifying maybe existing but then i remember my dumb ass believing my friend telling me about a vending machine in area 51 that sold real chucky dolls and that terrifying me
I don't know person that seems very scary
Immediately got SOMA vibes from this. Especially with the deep sea part of that game.
Ok, i just played this map with the lidar: more color addon, and its even scarier, somehow
So, btw- both dolls make the jingle from SOMA. It's a reference to Katherine's bear you can find in crew headquarters.
And shrine thing is the reference to breathing monolith from Iron Lung
this for some reason reminded me of this really good story driven horror game SOMA, old but really good with this kinda aesthetic except scaled up to oblivion
Looks like a fun map, what a neat idea in the same vein as iron lung.
We're all just gonna walk by the 'that's how I got kicked out of the Air Force'?
Charles the Cheaple
That's such a cool map
3:46 Flashbacks were happening in this mans eyes
27:07 SAFETY GLOCK WOOOO
I've had a nightmare like this. I was being dragged by someone across a bridge to an oil refinery. I knew I was gonna die. I awoke at the oil refinery and moved around, knowing that at any point he could just be there ready to kill me.
Iron Long and SOMA combined, both underwater game, and both if i ever play them will scare me into lifen't
OMG it's so awesome to encounter another KSP fan "in the wild," i.e. not via a KSP or space video ^^
that bang bang bang got me a pretty good laugh XD
15:30 Welcome aboard, captain. All systems online.
