Maybe this is a weird thing to mention but thank you so much for putting the time in to make the captions so accurate and easy to follow along. I have an audio processing disorder and need the captions to get all the information in a piece of media, but CZcams auto-captions are, more often than not, garbage. It doesn't go unnoticed when a content creator makes their videos accessible. Great video as always
Same here. Watching something without captions is often frustrating because a lot of spoken words sound like mush to me, and after attempting to write captions for another creator, I realized just how time consuming and tedious the work is, so thank you to the caption writer.
also i am a coward who can't have the entire video frame in my screen for these videos, so i usually scroll down to where i only see the captions
I love that nexpo always adds captions. English is not my first language and while I am fluent, sometimes is more comfortable to read while you listen so you know you are not missing any details
I have that too!! Yes !!! Itâs so epic !!!!
Yes! I love it when youtubers add captions to their videos, it makes them so much easier to understand and follow along the narrative
The glitch involving the torii gate may be a cultural reference. In Japan, a torii gate acts as a passage way through spiritual barriers, and that you must enter it and exit it by going through it, to go around or loop through it without properly exiting is seen as impolite. Based on the footage, the glitch is caused when you go through a torii gate, but do not exit it properly. I could be wrong, and I am not a programmer who can look through the code to see what triggers the glitch.

Imagine making a game in younger school days, full of random inside jokes and/or creative experimentation. then years later, people are freaking out about it.
Lol
I mean the one is made with rpg maker so that's kind of obvious.
That would be so funny Iâd love to have one of my projects end up like that
@@k9s622 its not sad tbh. We reached millions types of realisticness, so the uncanny valley must felt by us better than people in the past. Plus the how unmoderated and unpredictable the internet from the 90s seems amplifies the experience.
Imagine someone makes some online documentary about it decades later.
"...so then I tried to find that illusive [silly online name] to get more information about the deep and disturbing content. And I managed to make contact. At first they weren't interested in an interview, but after informing them of the widespread curiosity and following of the game, they agreed. Here is what happened:"
"So what was it that brought you to create it?"
"I was really into [random game or anime] at the time and thought I could make a game like that. Turns out I was really bad at making games"
"and what about the disturbing images?"
"dunno, I was bored and just searched up stupid photos"
"so the whole thing isn't some elaborate psychological ARG or report on a disturbing crime?"
"nah, it's just a bunch of lame jokes I had with my friends at school"
Thanks for the feature. That was definitely a moment.
yoooo
Holy shit it's the man himself

That definitely wasnt a glitch in the game, it was too specific. rogue/obscure Japanese horror games like to do this alot by bending the 4th wall. it wants to make you think that you are not really playing a game and mixes reality with fiction. This is to leave you guessing if you are playing a actual game made by a fan of horror or playing a game made by a actual murderer/psychopath and the game is just a diary to what he did with imagery to boot as he knows he will never be caught. Its similiar to that mario creepy pasta game. it just leaves you wondering. You will never know.
Nah, it was made by a edgy weeboo
Yeah, reminds me of Hong Kong 97 like Nexpo said but it seems very intentional.
Japanese horror preys more on the psyche and will drag things out super slow just to add suspense before dropping the shock.

Hey nexpo, probably gonna get lost in the sea of comments, but Q was an active worlds player when I was active as well (early 2012-16) and I've spoken with alot of the players to hear that Q was very much so a Nexalist type of creator, as he was a dev. From golden years that actively worked on worlds very long before I started playing, I've spoken to him as well and can confirm he is very cryptic on purpose to new players to entice them with the "creepy" aspects of dead/dying virtual chats.
I'm not sure if the servers are still up, as i do not have access to a computer, but I'm sure the few players would be able to help in the search, or better yet, he might be active there since traveler died in 2018
That's so cool
@Nexpo ? We should pin this or somthing
Another road that ends in 2018
another older worlds player (not anyone recognizable, but my older sibling was friends with stolz who afaik was fairly well known and i'd play with their group sometimes when i got bored, i'd assume in around 2012-2013) and i can def confirm this!! older players who still hang out find the newer surge of interest from content like this amusing, so they'll act cryptic / creepy on purpose to keep the rumour mill going. i hope the search goes well, it's real cool to see people still interested in the game & it's old community!

Okay, after seeing the "dead body" in this video, I did some more poking around, checked out some other pictures of it, and I have a theory to share. I read a lot of comments here from people in various medical fields comparing their personal experiences with corpses to whatever the hell was going on in this game. My immediate thoughts upon seeing the thing come from experience in a different field. A literal field. Farming, raising livestock, specifically dealing with deceased animals.
You can't really dig a grave for a cow or horse (or pig, I feel most people grossly underestimate how big pigs are) like it's your family dog or cat. Plus, this presents a risk of disease to other animals on the property. So what do you do? You ship them off to a place like this to be incinerated. I believe this explains the lack of hygiene and cleanliness others have pointed out when considering a medical or meat processing scenario. Also, the state of the, uh, "remains", could be because of a predator, scavengers, and/or simply being left in a field undiscovered or awaiting transportation. Footage of this wouldn't be problematic to have, unlike filming med school cadavers who might be identified, or a meat processing plant that could be sued for not being appropriately food safe.
My initial thought was that we are seeing part of a young cow, noticed what may have been a cloven hoof and it seemed to me definitively more cow than deer. Maybe my eyes are just picking out familiar shapes in shadows. At any rate, I am confident that these are the hinge-like leg joints of a quadruped and not the more articulate ball-and-socket joints of a human.
I swear I have never disposed of a human body.
Mhm sure..
Interesting enough input I suppose.
Valve put a genuine dead body in Half-Life 2 though, like the face for one of the corpse models is outright clipped from a scan from a medical textbook, showing a man with a burned off face. Someone just stumbled upon that textbook and flipped through it, and then realized "Hey, isn't that corpse_mdl01?" and sure enough it was a match, only whoever made it a texture copied the empty eyesocket onto the other, where there was this shrunken, deflated, and deformed remnant of his eyeball, presumably looking both too grim to keep and likely resolving away at the scaled down resolution.
Valve hasn't responded to or acknowledged this at all, and haven't gotten in trouble for it, presumably this wasn't even a known fact in the company. The asset dates back to early development and a lot of people went in an out of Valve's doors during Half-Life 2's creation, and it's speculated that one of the passing through artists provided that texture, possibly as a placeholder, but that nobody knew that it was one.

I think the reason why The Museum Of Everything Goes feels so lonely is because the other people there never really acknowledge you. They never look at you. Plus, everyone seems to know what they're doing there and what's going on, except for you, the player.

RPG Maker dev here! That second one is incredibly cool, and would be fairly simple to set up, even with minimal knowledge on how to use the program. Definitely an intentional and effective scare!
Going under the torii gates probably has a set chance of activating the "glitch". When the conditions are correct, it sets a timer to display the first image with the green text box, followed by a simple Message string showing up for the second (RPG Maker uses specific fonts/custom ones you can set, which explains why not having the keyboard region set to Japan would throw up garbage instead).
After that, it's as simple as having the screen flash 4 times and making the image pop up. Making it so you have to close the game to stop it is more than likely because it's set as an "Auto" event, which doesn't end unless you setup a way to end it or use "End Event Processing".
An easy way to verify this would be to go into the files for the game and see if you can find an image with the green text box in there!
Awesome stuff as always, Nexpo!
Yo... you smart
Thanks for explaining the technicals! most of the time I'm more interested behind how it happened than the mystery, photo, etc of video game like this
I always enjoy knowledgeable people giving their insight into stuff like this, thanks
thatâs so cool! thx for the mini lesson!
Do devs do this shit to scare people?
perhaps it's because my brain is broken, but the skeleton walking across the screen in the museum of anything goes is so funny to me especially because of the noises
The only thing that would make it funnier is if it would pull out a trumpet and start dooting spooky scary skeletons in a horrendous, horribly bad midi sample

Someone uploaded all the audio files for The Museum of Anything Goes and there are bits where co-creator Michael Markowski talks about himself. He is/was a school teacher in Chicago apparently and goes on a bitter and cynical talk about how the school system in the city is failing (and as many probably are aware, things haven't gotten better, worse in fact for Chicago's public education sector, and arguably the city itself, crime skyrocketing, poverty, etc.). There's a bit where he talks to various kids in elementary school and in a blunt and terse tone asks them questions about what they want to be when they grow up, how they hope to achieve that and so on. He never outright tells them "your dreams are hopeless, might as well give up and forget about it kid" but he does have a tone to his voice where barely hides his feelings of resignation toward anything good coming from the generation of kids he's teaching who want to be astronauts or whatever. I don't know, I don't remember what he said exactly, you can probably find the sound files on here and listen to the interviews yourself.
I imagine this game is some sort of outlet. I don't know about the co- developer but at the very least it would be fitting if the game was called "The Museum of Mike Markowski's Mind." It has the surface of an edutainment title befitting his role as a school teacher and is tonally all over the place. A mix of bad jokes and silly sight gags and sound effects with just weird meaningless, uh, stuff, some actual information about the Chicago area, and sad, more serious fare like a section of real "dead letters" from one of the World Wars (dead letters are letters, usually from a long time ago past when it would be relevant to the recipient or when they would even be alive, that were sent out but never made it to their destination).
There is some underlying nihilism to it all, like one of the creepy, looping tracks (the one Vinny said sounded like a Talking Heads parody) about how life is meaningless and all there is in the end is death. I don't remember the lyrics other than "You're here, then you're gone." A number of dire topics seem to be used as punchlines or setups for dark jokes. The thing with the video of the carcass after a funeral is just the most extreme example in the whole thing. A silly walking skeleton in front of that old photograph of a body in a casket is another.
Of course there's no information whatsoever to find about the game's creators. I don't know if they're even still alive. But in any case I see it as a product of an embittered public school teacher who has seen where the system had led his students, left him hopeless, and just piled on all those thoughts into an interactive edutainment CD-ROM title from the bygone days.
Seeing all the stuff in the game does make one wonder who the audience the game was intended for and it's probably nobody at all except for the people of the future right now who finds intrigue in these bizarre, old relics of the uncanny valley.
This is off subject but you are an amazing writer holy shi
It's a really interesting project honestly, I have a physical copy I won from eBay and was working on a retrospective/analysis thing but I wasn't able to find the guy either. From what I could find out, Markowski is an artist, he was a teacher at one point and there's a whole section in the game with those student interviews. He apparently also had/planned a second CD-ROM game/art thing that either didn't release or is so rare that nobody has uploaded it online. I almost thought I found the guy on Facebook and reached out but never got a reply. Huge shame because I really wanted to interview the dude and ask about everything.
How come CZcams didn't add a "read more" button and instead just displays your entire comment in full?
Whatâs the name of the video?
Thatâs very interesting. Do you possible have a source of the interview? Sounds like a far reach but I might use it for a paper of mine lol

I REALLY love the segment about Utahonotatari. You should do more videos about hidden stuff in these RPG maker horror games. If you need help with Japanese while researching, hmu!
Online mysteries honestly fascinate me more than real world ones, because the internet is a man-made, every mysterious or creepy thing on there HAS to come from someone. Which honestly terrifies me more
My uni's anthropology department had a project that kept a pig carcass to study the effects of decomposition, because it's very similar to the process in human bodies... so I don't blame Vinny for thinking he saw a dead person in that gameđ
Pig flesh is said to be the closest to human so yes this makes sense.
It's fascinating how media you know you've never heard of can invoke feelings of nostalgia. There's something about those types of games, shows, books, etc that can make you feel terrified to your core, yet at the same time safe, protected and at peace.
Or maybe that's just how I feel whenever I listen to Nexpo's narration.
No, I think youâre right. Sometimes these pieces if media can put out a vibe so eerily similar to old games that they trigger that sense of nostalgia and even deja vu, without actually having anything youâve seen before. So weird.
Man, internet and media history is just so fun and fascinating to learn about.
Iâve always wanted to create something like schnell ever since Iâve discovered unexplainable games. I wanna make something so obscure, creepy, unexplainable, and just absolutely batshit that people come back to it every few years. But I have no knowledge of coding or making games so I canât lmao. Maybe someday. :)
Nexpo: I'm a Brave boy!
*Strange Baloon Dog-Tortoise kidnaps children taking them where only God knows

You are very possibly right about the pig thing, but just throwing this out there, I used to work in the medical field. In training, we had to dissect cadavers a handful of times. The cadavers although preserved, weâre still heavily decayed and torn apart since they would be dissected multiple times. To me, at first glance, it looked like one of those dissected cadavers with decayed skin and flesh all cut up and hanging off, skeleton exposedâŠ. But really, it doesnât show enough to really tell for sure. If you think itâs a pig carcass, Iâm inclined to believe you.
I am a Surgeon, and this was my first thought when I saw that image, I even found the image on Google and still think that it's some kind of preserved carcass, not necessarily human tho.
I think it's an abstract kind of musing on a few ideas through juxtaposition:
We have reverence for our dead and yet our existence is based on using the corpses of other species.
In the right context, you perceive a body being disposed of and feel horror, whether pig or human the superficial appearance is similar enough to be confronting. Is it a crematorium or a garbage incinerator? Is there a difference? Is it horrifying only because you believed you were looking at the remains of a person, or is it innately a horrifying sight that we are inured to by the necessity of livestock?
It doesn't seem to be making any moral judgement, just like "y'know, it's kinda funny how-"
I don't even know if this was consciously intended or if I'm just reading too much into it, but I do think it's a really thought-provoking piece of media regardless.
You ever shadow at a medical examiners too? Iâm asking cause u said u use to be in the medical field . That shit was the craziest 3 month Iâve ever experienced .
@@TashaSalad No, never got to see that side. I was in the Army. Was a medic and surgical tech. So yeah, Iâve seen plenty, but never the coroner/autopsy/med-ex part. I was either outside the wire, or in the operating room. Glad I wasnât though. It was crazy enough where I was, I donât think I could have solely been on the death side of it. That would have seriously messed me up⊠well even worse than I was anyway lol.
Not to be nitpicky, but cadavers used for anatomical dissection do not rot or decay as they are preserved in fixative. However you are right in that they do desiccate, and by the end of the term they are understandably very cut up and in poor shape, especially as not all students are good at cutting. (Writing this from my experience having been through medical school; I am a neurologist - but all first year medical students must take gross anatomy with cadaveric dissection). It is worthwhile noting that at least in the US (and I imagine elsewhere too) in medical education it's not permitted to take pictures or videos of the cadavers or cadaveric parts. That said, as I noted above this does look to me like it could be the dissected and preserved leg of a human cadaver.
I definately like the idea of this becoming a series! Since most of use are or have been gamers the idea of running into eerie things in games is very relatable
This is one of those nights where I just want to turn all the lights off and curl up in a blanky with a heaping dose of Nexpo.
As an RPG Maker enthusiast - that is definitely not a glitch in The Haunting 2. My guess is that the creator created an event that runs on an âautoâ trigger without creating an out while spawning a picture, creating an intentional softlock.
It's not really a softlock, they just make you wait 10,000 seconds.
@@cool_bug_facts it should, that's what the events says it does. Never tried it myself.
Actually, that's Wolf RPG Editor. Yes, that kind of mechanic can happen too, it's a more flexible software. But instead of a picture, that one is a legit display of error screens (green rectangle and white text).
However, people in other comment said that it's probably from Japan's custom of "direspectful to walk around Torii", so perhaps the creator made a script where doing that will trigger the error box, which is easy to modify/recreate by in-software script.
IDEA: The "corpse photo" that pops up after activating that "glitch" might not be a photo at all, but a painting. I'm not the world's foremost expert on fine art, but highly detailed paintings of death and corpses were actually extremely common in the late Renaissance and well into the 19th century (and in many ways, these paintings are more unsettling than photographs.)
Rembrandt, Goya, Holbein, Caravaggio (OMG especially Caravaggio!) are well known for their eye-popping paintings of dead humans. Did you know that one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings is a still life of A REAL HUMAN SKELETON? Maybe the creator of the game used an image from a painting instead of a photo because a photo would be too much gore and not enough emotion. If so, then as far as the style of the possible painting is concerned, in my opinion the image reminds me of something that Paul Cezanne or Hans Holbein might have done.
EDIT: Something else just occurred to me, and I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner, but if using an actual photo of an actual human corpse could have created a legal problem for the developer than using a painting would make more sense. Most fine artworks aren't subject to copyright laws anyway, I don't think.
Interesting hopefully someday weâll get an update with a proper answer đ€
Bros the painting proffesor
Honestly, I thought of that too!
I honestly think its a real photo of a dead person from a mondo film. Weve already seen that happen with Hong Kong 97.
I think the only thing that makes it illegal is if you know beforehand that it's a dead body, don't quote me on that though.
That skeleton walking across with the sound effect had to be the most hilarious thing I've seen in one of these creppy videos

one obscure video game that really fascinates me is "puppet motel" by artist laurie anderson. not many people know about it, but there are full attempts at playthroughs here on youtube. the game has no real motive, and was designed to be a sort of exploratory journey through the subconscious mind via the computer. very odd and intriguing.

@@jenniferibarra3853 I was referring to Nexpo and the others, since they're the ones telling the stories and stuff in these videos. XD
@@KraziShadowbear ohhh okay that makes sense đ thanks for clarifying lol
What other channels. Whatâs mamamax about?
PLEASE make a part 2 or even a series for mysteries in old obscure video games. This video was the closest to perfect along with the drowned god video and WE NEED MOREEE!!! Much love.
I really hope this becomes a series like disturbing things on the internet. Love ya Nexpo!
Holy crap, this one really had me terrified lmfao. I did prepare myself by reading the comments before, but that didnât make a difference. Blessed to have early access, great job as always! đ€

Sir do you travel through time? According to your comment you do.
@@Tacoscorner I think they're a member of the channel, the paid for subscription. They all get videos a day early
@@SourPatchMoth well sir thank you. I did not know that
Saint is a mystery in itself. He rarely talks to anyone even on his streams and if he does he's talking nonsense. Probablyu the most elusive streamer ever. He's been around for a LONG while and he's affiliated with a group that makes very bizarre and completely unplayable at times freeware games the most popular of them being Revenge of The Sunfish which found its way onto youtube and Twitch. The other prominent figure was Kimberly Kubus most well known for his "Johnny" series who has been making his games since 2002 and committed suicide in 2014. If there's anything in the gaming world worth investigating it's them.
wdym by talking nonsense curious
As someone who has been following Saint for a while, they're interesting to say the least

I really like the bumpers between sections, gives a nice moment to reflect- hell I adore most everything this channel puts out! Fuels my addiction to internet mysteries and horror stuff :>
17:00 It's obviously an RPGmaker game, meaning that glitch isn't a glitch, but 100% intended. If there's not an event entity in that spot triggering this, it doesn't happen.
The creepy picture at the glitch in Haunting 2 looks like a distorted and shifted image from some medieval painting. The eyes looking of to a distant point, the possible headdress and colors of the clothing kind of look like a baroque painting (I'm not an art historian so don't quote me on that). Since the picture looks enlarged, as if it was in the background, shifted 90 degrees and darkened would make it very difficult to find in a Google or even visual search.
not an art historian either, but i can see what you mean
Exactly what I was thinking. I have an interest in that sort of art, and it brought to mind a number of religious paintings, specifically those featuring Mary or those in what can be described as a "religious ecstasy" upon being visited by an angel or Christ himself. I can't be sure what's on her head but the first thing that came to mind was that it looked a bit like a veil or habit like Mary herself would often be depicted in.
I can't help but feel like I've seen it before at some point.
it looks a lot like the girl and the earing painting
@@NightShade1218 Yes I had the same feeling that it's familiar
It's actually from the movie The Devil Inside
this was actually the most terrifying video you've put out in a while lol.
Wdym all of his video are creepy
Thatâs not what theyâre saying. Theyâre saying out of all the creepy videos that he has, this one stands out as being the most creepy to them.

Canât begin to express how much I love this channel. So eerie and interesting!
Japanese RPG games, specially horror ones, are like, an entire thing on their own. Not many make it past Japan though.
We do have some interesting eerie games on our side, you should take a look at the Dread X Collections.
I love the dread x collections, severely underrated
Dread X is creepy, to be sure (never played it myself, and still waiting for the group I watched play the first two - Jesse Cox's Scary Game Squad - to come back and play 3 and beyond(?), but even just watching conveys the creepy), but I don't think there's many, if any, mysteries worth spotlighting, and Nexpo doesn't do Let's Play videos, pretty sure.
Ao Oni is a good one.
yeah he should play the game where you can date the female Cthulhu lmfao
@@ochiai3 It's being made into a full game.

Hey Nexpo, just wanted to say how much I love your content, your dedication, and your style. I took a deep dive into this style of content about two years ago, and unfortunately I think it was influencing my mental health a bit. But I just want to say thank you for making awesome videos, and exploring the mysterious! Stay cool!
I get literal chills when I hear the first sound of the intro. You never disappoint Nexpo, keep up with the amazing work
The whole family now gathers with popcorn to watch your vids like itâs family movie night.
Also it seems more than half the imagery in the Museum of Anything Goes is of various places and objects in Chicago.

An Idea...
"Second Life" has been around for nearly 20 years. I'm sure in all that time, someone; somewhere, has to have made something odd worth investigating.
I always saw "Second Life" as an eerily-liminal digital purgatory.
just make sure not to tell players that it is in fact a "game". it really annoys them
@@MrLTiger If Gmod is a game, then so is Second Life as far as I'm concerned lol
There's definitely creepy shit I'm there, lots of people use it to express some pretty dark fantasies and identities, it can get real fucked up
@@MrLTiger itâll piss off dwight
There are things you wouldn't like to see in SL .
25:25 okay what the frick??? That's enough internet for today....
So I was watching CZcams on my TV before going to bed. I rolled over and fell asleep without turning off the TV. At 4:30am I wake up to this video at 17:11. Imagine being woken up in the middle of the night and turning around to see that. Point is Iâm not making that mistake again
Bro same thing just happened to me too scared the shit out of međđ
Vinny is the only person to stumble upon these things, and even potentially accidentally solve them.
I wish Nexpo would read the keysmashes in his creepy narration voice lmao

i actually got a little disappointed when he didnât
@@GhostiesWithTheMosties did u rly just say that
@@stmsin yes
Saint just plays weird games no one's heard of, that's his schtick. Been following him for a while.
whos that ?
I'd love to see this as a series, it's two of my favorite interests combined into one!
Also I'm glad to see that the Nobody outro is back, I love that song and I'll always associate it with Nexpo videos đđ
NGL, but your laugh at 12:32 made me jump. I love how your videos make me feel like some creepy face is going to rear its head around the corner of my room but I'm still watching and I can't stop.
It amazes me that to this day people genuinely believe in the whole anti piracy stuff.
Think about it: Why would a horror game shield itself against piracy by a very specific crash that occurs in the middle of the game out of the normal path that is combined with a creepy image? You came here for creepy images anyway.
If that image appeared constantly with crashes after the starting area it might have been more believable but like its now, its obvioulsy intentional.
I instantly had to look for this comment when I re-watched this and realized that person literally thought some random RPGmaker game had anti-piracy measures... That's Reddit I guess...
people who make mysterious things like this are people who are aware of mysterious ominous otherwordly things and scaring or making someone confused makes them feel high and mighty a sense of power and that they are above everyone else
You legit are the LGR of horror Iâve been seeking. 2:20 was an epic nostalgia trip. Tysm.
I'm genuinely impressed by the fact you held back from saying "but that's just a mystery, a game mystery" becuase you didn't want to break the suspense , but still left the connection for the viewer to make themselves.
MatPat reference
it was so unbelievably heart warming to suddenly hear Vinny's voice from this video
gosh please do more of these videos!! this was so fun to watch!
Love all these videos, I find them very fascinating. Nobody does them better. Keep âem comin
Hey just a small tid bit, that âcarcassâ and â14/??â game is actually made with RPG Maker 2003/2000! Yes, the same engine that was used to make Yume Nikki, Ib and OFF! I can really tell by the font and also the âNew Game, Load, Close Gameâ options on the title screen!
Edit: Haunting 2 and KanyeQuest were also made in RPG Maker! I think Haunting 2 was made in RPG Maker VX Ace or something? But I know KanyeQuest is made with RPG Maker MV!
Hearing all the talk around a maybe corpse, and weird characters and errors messages and then Nexpo mentions 'It's Reyn Time' and I burst out laughing
When was that, I didn't catch it.

AYOOO XENOBLADE REFRENCE
If Roy was a Wyvern he'd be so much better
Honestly I don't know what I'd do without nexpo this channel is just that great
Enjoying a rewatch, there are few content creators that I come back for rewatch (especially long videos) but this one was a gem. I wish this became a series, if there were enough obscure online games to go around.
And then there was Spelunx, a game for kids not meant to be creepy and yet it has a way of messing with you without meaning to. One expects a jump scare every screen change while navigating the halls. The sounds are rudimentary due to the hardware limitations of the time, but this only makes it more eerie. It is not a fun little kids program. It is psychological horror. Nothing ever comes out to scare you, but you cannot help but feel unsettled any time you play. This is especially true of the black and white version.
This moose loves it. He found a copy once in a box of old computer things a school was getting rid of. There were several good games in there, but that one stuck out to him. Mostly because he had nightmares about it later. It was great!
He finds it creepier than the Museum of Anything Goes because the museum has legitimately creepy things in it. Spelunx, meanwhile, simply teases you with fear, but nothing ever happens. Yet, no matter how many times you play it, you still feel like _something_ is bound to show up and terrify you at some point. Maybe if you click a certain pixel. Maybe if you turn around three times in the hallway. Maybe if you flip the switch in a specific pattern.
You just never know.
Iâll check this out đł
Another masterpiece. Always great to see a new take on familiar topics, and some new ones as well.

Love your channel nexpo! Keep up the good work man.
I found this channel py pure chance while searching for camping stories and then i clicked on a video of Nexpo that looked promising....This man's voice...the editing,the editing,atmosphere,lightning makes you so intrigued ...its enough to make a man sick....You won a subscriber just by your theme AND the quality of his videos and sources is top-notch....Keep up the good Nexpo
31:19 One thing to also note is that from what I've seen a fair amount of this game mentions or is surrounded by Chicago, one of the neighborhoods mentioned being Pilsen. For those who may not know, Pilsen and surrounding areas like Chinatown or the Back of The Yards were (and still somewhat are) major meatpacking and butcher hubs in the city, so it may be that the creators of the game had either previous experience or connections with work in that industry, potentially explaining the footage. That's the best sleuthing I can do for late night spooky video watching, so YMMV
It's 1 am, I'm here, I'm terrified and I'm LOVING it
Thank you Abs! Glad you're enjoying it :D

Great video, I just want to mention a couple of things about Haunting 2. I have spent an embarrassing number of years in the RPG Maker community working on games and I believe a few of the mysterious around that title are, quite frankly, easily solved by the limitations of RPG Maker.
I think you're spot on when you say the gate glitch is an Easter egg. RPG Maker's capabilities do not easily allow for an anti-cheat function. You can also successfully replicate it 100% of the time. It is very, very easy to crash out an RPG Maker game both intentionally and unintentionally, and it looks to me like the creator took some real RPG Maker error text and combined it with their own creepy text before giving the game a hard lock. In fact, I bet if you open up Haunting 2 in whatever version of RPG Maker it was made in and look at the map where the "glitch" occurs, you're either going to find an invisible tile, or a series of tiles (given a set amount of steps activate the glitch), or a local map routine that scans the game and says "if X action occurs, do Y" that then results in the "error" text and the image.
The image is also going to be hard, even impossible to search, because depending on the version of RPG Maker, it can only handle so many colors and bit depth. With older versions of the program, images could only be 256 colors, and could only have an 8-bit depth. Finagling with paint in the old days meant many frustrating save outs to bmp or png to preserve as much color information as you could. Not knowing what you're doing, or using a high information image, often results in importing a much lower quality version into the RPG Maker program, and lower quality means image searches then can't match it to the source. Given these limitations, I believe this means Haunting 2 was most likely created in either RPG Maker 2000 or RPG Maker 2003.
Dunno if any of this helps. Thanks again for the video.
Yeah, it's definitely the Easter egg. Also as a native Japanese speaker the error "text" is extremely... fake? or I should say it sounds like a script
@@rene1330 ya... I also felt it was fake. It read like a script.
the game was made in Wolf rpg, you can see the logo in the screenshots, is similar but is not RpgMaker
I love RPG maker...it's just so tedious. Lol. I'm too impatient for it.
@@A_Stereotypical_Guy RPGMaker is a goofy ass engine. I always laugh when I think of the Kanye Quest deal and how people thought it was tied to a real cult or that it would store your info lmao
RPGMaker horror/mystery/surreal games are fascinating, it's a shame there's so much that's been left untranslated. Yume Nikki is without a doubt a favorite of mine, though it's a lot less horror than other examples. Would love to see more attention brought to them in general.
I couldn't agree more. Some of my favorite games ever were made in that engine, and it inspired me to start learning it myself
Theres a channel called pikasprey that talks about the surrealist vibes yumi nikki gives off and why its one of their favorite games.
The same channel also uploads some pokemon softlocks that are pretty interesting to say the least. It involves a little leg work setting most of the scenarios up but the payoff is well worth it in the end.
Love me some Yume Nikki. I first watched Pewdie Pie play it đŹ.
True! About Yume Nikki, I'd say that some of the fangames are the ones more disturbing. If Nexpo researched about this to LCDEM and the creator's (Koronba) disappeareance, as well as songs that are trending these days that's inspire by them... it would be cool
