Librarian: "That was a really good scare"
Me: "Very subtle, too"
Librarian: "Very subtle, too"
that guy running down the hallway around 22:00 made me Literally jump out of my chair, squeeze my whole face shut, and give my Entire body tingles. saving it for so late in the map was a Masterful move
I read this, knew it was coming, but thought it meant a guy running across a hallway he was going to enter
Boy was I wrong.
and the best part is that the part earlier where you hid from the light ( 15:25 ) already trains you to associate those discordant electronic buzzer/alarm-like noises with DANGER.
So your tension levels skyrocket, and half a second later there's a shadow monster man running at you in a dead sprint out of the darkness.
Utterly incredible.
Oooh, poor soul... :(
Yeah I knew it was coming too, and I still had a heart attack lol
lmao I nearly tossed my computer out of my lap it scared me so bad. XD
This map would really benefit from less ambient noise. Maybe a very subtle wind tunnel effect but this amnesia audio is very overwhelming.
This map was so spooky, I's had to eat my own shite of my underpants, because I have school tomorrow and the washing machine broke, so I's can consider meself as washing machine. :D Don't you even ax!
well Amnesia had lots of time to build it's tension, the soundtrack didn't always play.
This man needs to play the Silent Hill: Condo/Alchemilla maps in VR. Talk about tension.
Alchemilla is masterful
OMG
20:41 From a mod I had when playing this map it made that guy in the corner actually run towards me and was like "Oh my god, gordan freeman!" I think seeing the man run from the darkness towards me was more scary than that.
9:50 I love the use of the I'M SCARED ambience, if only we could see white face or HER somewhere in the dark
I was definelty expecting White Face to pass by on the other side of the pitch black door
The ball of light in the hallway at 15:28 gave me strong Metro vibes. it was very similar to the anomalies, except that little ball wasn’t crackling with electricity.
It was basically ripped straight from Metro. A moving, floating ball of light that doesn't bother you if you don't bother it?
I used to think it was exaggerated when horror characters did the whole fading away huffing like 21:59, but I guess people actually do that!
Also I got so upset with that final room. I spent something like 15-20 minutes just checking EVERY SINGLE ROOM thinking that there'd be something or an exit, and the only way down there to my knowledge is that one top room. Really soured the experience, glad you found the exit in good time.
Nearly flew out of the chair when i saw that
The Amnesia soundtrack creeps me out... it always will give me chill.
Just like the xfiles theme
The Dark Descent will always be a classic and an example of how to do horror. That shit is psychological, not just cheap scares. From the soundtrack, to the environment and ambiance, grade A
@@Thfoxpz Yeah... that's where Outlast failed at me... too many jump scares, too many places where I didn't really felt the threat but it was there and died again and again and again... Yes, dying is part of the games and I definitely was bad at Outlast. But I couldn't really get immersed. I felt I had to mention that game.
Amnesia is a masterpiece with its setting, sound design, music, simple gameplay mechanics. Physics added a lot to it too.
It was a very easy game. It gave you the clue all the time if you are in danger. But also when you weren't. It gave such false sense of danger many times. It sucked me in so easily. Checked every corners, every places because I wasn't sure if it's safe. When it was obvious something is lurking, it was always dangerous but avoidable. I died twice on my first playthrough of The Dark Descent. Once by a monster, the other time was falling from height. But that's how the game felt right. Starting from beginning to end, not going back because of dying. I might sound like I like easy games. The opposite. But Amnesia was difficult because of overcoming fear. Not because it was easy to die. It felt like a seamless journey. A story unfolding, while trying to survive, solve puzzles, etc...
I wish more horror games chose that way of story telling and gameplay. SOMA was fantastic too. Less scary but damn, so immersive and what an emotional rollercoaster.
@ Well said, I only finished Outlast when I played it because I wanted to see the character finally escape and I was kinda hooked into the whole Walrider Project thing, but we all know the ending, and the documents leave more questions than answers sometimes. In my opinion the DLC did way better in terms of creepiness.
As for SOMA, it felt like Frictional wanted to try to raise moral questions for the players but went way overboard with it. And left the "horror" part just to sell the game to people. I still enjoyed it nonetheless, but for different reasons. Amnesia Rebirth was a way more good example of 50/50'ing a game with half horror, half moral dillemas.
Yeah
Man, the map was spooky from the start.
I'm solidly convinced and have been for quite some time that audio may actually be more important than visuals (just slightly) for making a scary atmosphere real.
I mean thats objectively true
I've been tossing around the idea of horror games employing "ghost" NPCs. Not in-universe ghosts, but rather NPCs that are invisible and intangible, but still make noises the player can hear. Have them walk around near the player making noises, but go silent if they get too close, or the player gets line of sight on them. You could make them use unique sounds, making the player feel like some... *thing* is present, that they never actually see or interact with. And the NPC's random AI would mean they'd never hear it in quite the same position, each playthrough.
Or the NPC could use the same sounds as actual enemies, making the player think an enemy is present, and even nearby, when it isn't. Or even let actual enemies shift in and out of this ghost mode randomly, but never attack while ghosted. So the player is never sure where the enemies actually are, or if they're even a threat right now.
Oh, and maybe let these ghosts interact with physics objects somehow. Nothing special - maybe once or twice every few minutes, they apply a little force to a random object within a radius. Enough to make it topple over, or make a noise. Which would confuse the player even more, when they hear something fall off a table in another room, that they thought for sure was empty.
A lot of these sounds are roalty free spooky sounds or overused sounds from other games, really threw me out of it most of the time when I heard something. Wasn't impressed with this map. I prefer silent maps he expored before more
It definitely is. What you can't see but have to imagine will always be scarier than what you can. Especially in games. Once you see the jankiness of the NPC coming towards you, the fear is gone.
@@tbotalpha8133 That's a fucking BRILLIANT idea, my man :)
Dude, I Think You Should Leave is one of the most underrated sketch shows out there. I didn’t get the reference till you said it lol
It's a good show that won't fly out the window while I driving.
i really like how you can immediately elaborate on any irrational fear you get while playing a game, often using a great deal of imagination to describe scenarios that your brain must be trying to protect you from on a primal level.
not sure if you do it in this video because i havent watched it yet but you did it in asheville and some other ones, it's really unique
I Think the best part of his videos, is the fact that the scared reactions are yours, it really sounds better when it's a real person, rather than an acted character..... That's whi I think horror games should always be played VR..... To get real emotions.... Even if there are clichés....
Doesn't really matter if it's in VR or not. A good horror game leaves room for you to scream, not have you sit behind the semi-protection of the main character's multiple curse words.
Comparing authenticity to acting is self explanatory tbh.....
@@RocketPillow what I meant is hard to explain, but I'll try to make it simple..... Immagine yourself not knowing you're playing a vr game..... (i know, hard to belive, but still...) the sense of dread and the fear you feel is more real than the one you get by staring at a screen.... Primarily because you are experiencing the situation yourself....
Ngl thought you were memeing the way librarian sounds😂
Yeah it doesn't matter if it's VR. I'd wager that since this is Gmod which has a lot of crawling sections in most maps the way your supposed to play it is not VR. It's just not what the game was made for you know?
This map seems like an inbetween type of map, where the mapmakers skills are improving (quite well actually) but they still have some growing pains to get over, still this was really good despite some of the cheesy Jpeg "scares".
Hope the map maker keeps evolving their craft.
Dude you NEED to make your own horror map. WIth all your knowledge of this kind of stuff you'd make one of the most frightening maps to date
As cliche as that distant scream at 3:49 was, it definitely gave me chills and made me tear up a little bit. Definitely bone chilling and eerie as hell.
Voice: "Psst"
Librarbrian: "Stop."
That whisper-in-your-ear stuff is what gets me.
You may or may not relate to this; none of the spooky stuff in the movie "Jacob's Ladder" got me like that one moment when everything seems alright, like he's woken up from a nightmare and it's all going to be okay... *"Dream on!"* ... The way the sound was mixed, all the sounds of the scene are in front of you, which feels natural watching - but then the voice, barely above a raspy whisper, completely drowns-out all the other sounds - right behind you, in your ear.
Fuggin' CHILLS mah dood
And the late-game paranormal stuff! I didn't pay enough attention when I rented "Devil's Advocate" and thought the title wasn't literal and just a cheeky jab at lawyers. Like a solid hour in and WHOA THAT BOOB HAS STABBY TEETH WHY NO NO NO
Amnesia really did hit us with the scariest goddamn soundtrack ever composed tho
I can safely bet that this will be a awesome video.
I do wish music was more scarce in these maps though.
and the ambient music in this map is straight out of amnesia the dark descent
didn't think i'd find you here vac
@@roth8332 yes
Honestly, just the regular aspects of source ambience can do a whole lot on their own.
If there wasn't any music in this map, it would be better as an horror map, it would be more realistic
You should play Phasmophobia for a Halloween video. I'm sure you've heard of it, but in case you haven't, you play as a ghost hunter with various tools gadgets. It has VR support. Although its best played with friends, there are some small maps which are manageable in singleplayer.
YES. Alone too lol
3:42
“Use its own tension and atmosphere to build itself up by its own merits a little more-“
The map: *”I’m bout to end this man’s whole career”*
Love this type of videos I would love to do the same(if I had a vr headset) I would recommend you the maps, gm_boreas and rp_southside they are pretty big and detailed places to explore
If you wanna be ghetto with it - you can kinda use your phone as a VR Headset for your PC. Maybe use a controller suck as Xbox or playstation to control things - it's not full on VR but at least it's a step above a normal monitor as far as immersion goes.
There's some stuff you gotta install but you can do it, and free too :-)
@@bogartwilley thanks for the tips but I already tried multiple times and my phone is to small and cracked up for a cardboard box I can't go more ghetto than already I am
@@varothes2315 lol dam bro
21:57 I was reading the comments and this got me so good it was terrifying!
14:10 I am pretty sure that something like that tunnel was in "GM_Paranormal" as well.
There was also red glowing eyes in the deep darkness.
The scream that sounds from when the wood on the door breaks is actually from a creature from the game SOMA, made by the same people who made Amnesia.
the multiple mentions of "(being the) horror movie white guy" really makes this funnier
That is the fastest I’ve ever seen someone turn😂
Fastest turn in the abandoned west
Librarian, what can I say about your GMOD VR vids? It's just unbelievable how immersive it is by just watching all this stuff, but I can't even imagine how scary it would be to actually play it in VR. You do a great job for entertaining us, thank you!
the doors plank breaking followed with a unidentifiable screech and quick running is scary
I must say, running thru this map so far has me chilled. There are several areas where your supposed to die from apparently. (I've toggled god mode in my instance since I find dying in a map to be distracting and immersion breaking.) But uh... The black dude that just flies at you down the one tunnel... That made my entire body have the shivers as soon as I heard and saw it coming towards me.
As someone who doesn't play horror games, I really appreciate the commentary about design and atmosphere on these maps!
You know what I would love to see in a map like this with the audio? When you're inside a dark hallway with limited light, play a running sound toward the player and have it be out of left field. Would scare someone in VR so good. (Too good even? 😆)
Awesome video anyway.
that ambient music is from the amnesia the dark descent game! you should totally play the frictional games collection! you wont regret it.
IMO I'd stick to Dark Descent and Soma. The two Amnesia sequels, especially the second one, were pretty boring.
Considering Cry of Fear is known for having lifted a lot of sound effects from Half Life 2, it's funny that's where you know them from
Completely forget this game is almost 2 decades old sometimes
I love that they used audio from SOMA. Truly some of the scariest sounds in any situation.
When I hear a baby cry in a horror game, it reminds me of an episode of MTV's Aeon Flux, where she relives a day over & over & keeps dying. Honestly would make a good game.
I feel like maybe that corny beginning was there to disarm you lull you into a false sense of security or even slight annoyance so that when things actually take a creepy turn it lands better. If you've let your guard down a bit because you're prepared for a PNG screamer fest and then you hear a very realistic whisper in your here it feels super real because it doesn't seem like something the game would do based on what you already know and then when you realize it's completely unpredictable after you had a sense of understanding it that adds another layer of unease
The start is very dying light feeling, anyone who’s played that game and the part about getting to old town understand what I’m saying.
Its a very good game
As a person who did many playthroughs of this map, there seem to be a few things you missed
(spoilers?)
In one of the bathroom stalls you get transported into a narrow hallway with a crouched rebel model leading to another loud jumps are. In one of the rooms with the fuel tank, if you approach the tank, you hear banging from inside, and in the room with the windows to another room, there's a pair of glowing eyes but since you're in front you might have triggered them to disappear early.
As for some explanations for a few things, the wood dragging noise is because of a plank was basically clipped into the ground with physics enabled onto it. Apparently the map is supposed to be an asylum where patients were mistreated. A lot of the ambience/soundtracks were mostly from Amnesia, I think a few from Cry of Fear and Maybe one from SOMA. As for the two entrances to the lower maze, I did some noclipping because why not and found out the room with the locked door in the first maze was just the same as the unlocked one, hole and all. I think I've probably missed some things as well, I'm no dev of the map or anything, just someone who spends too much time on this map and Gmod in general. I wish I was able to make maps for Gmod because I would definitely takes some notes on this.
Man, at this point I'd really like to see a T-shirt with a Glock on it that simply says "Safety Glock".
I’m probably reaching but I remember playing this map for the first time and getting super scared when I heard chains and crying going downstairs like somebody was going upstairs This map is pretty immersive and puts noises in the right places it made me feel like there was real ghosts lost here
This dudes a legend I'm probs his biggest fan and have watched almost all of his videos, he is so brave and he has the audacity to play these
games. I don't even have the nerve to play.
That old stock horror music… so nostalgic for me, and the screaming/wailing sounds right out of cry of fear brought me right back to that time period.
I’d like to think that there are two devs on this map, one who understands the intricacies of the flashlight as well as placing sound ques just beyond the players line of sight, and the other who thinks the only way to
scare the player is with a loud noise accompanying a jpeg of Jeff the killer.
Im convinced the first part of the map was an attempted to subvert expectation and put you in a false sense of security
I watch your vr horror vids like a TV show. Keep them coming. :)
Though I really like Amnesia's soundtrack, I don't think it worked amazingly well here. It can be a tad overwhelming in several areas of the map, as well as kinda feel like like it doesn't really 'match' the feel the map wants to give. Amnesia's ambience and soundtrack is much more suited for gothic horror, and when you put it up against certain environments in this map, it kinda clashes I guess?
Other than that, the map could've probably been much creepier with little to no ambient sound, just silence.
Though if you haven't listened to Amnesia's OST, I strongly recommend it! A lot of it is very atmospheric and at times even a little cozy, in a strange way.
the random woman crying was coming from inside the broken cabinet its pretty realistic and is actually scary when you realize it can jump out at any second
great content, brother! love to have your insights on horror in general because it feels like more than just a let's play.
8:25 I get so happy when people use Cry of Fear assets (or assets used in Cry of Fear) in games and maps and stuff. The scream you hear at this moment in the distance is the scream that plays before the first jumpscare in Cry of Fear.
Edit: At 9:08 the monster sounds used are also Cry of Fear sounds and at 10:07 the sound used is the Afraid of Monsters Axe wall hit sound effect and 11:23 is, like he said, a Cry of Fear ambient sound.
Edit 2:I'm just going to make a straight list:
14:48 and 23:33: Cry of Fear ambient sound
18:33 and 23:30: Cry of Fear Crazyrunner alert sound
19:19: Cry of Fear Scream that is heard when encountering Crazyrunner in a house
20:46: Cry of Fear Dreamer Scream
33:30: I'm pretty sure this is the sobbing sound of The Face or Facehead (same thing) in Cry of Fear
And that is *EVERY* Cry of Fear sound in this map.
In half life 2, that Huffing and panting sound affect might have played in RavenHolm for their there are all sorts of horror noises and creepy sounds. Most of the Valve Horror sounds come from that one Chapter of HL2.
Also If i am correct, Cry of fear was made using something to do with Valve so those sound affects may have been heard in COF, but may have originated from HL.
In the middle video an ad popped up and this scared me more than everything else
This video/map has some great examples of how various rooms can strike different kinds of fears in our hearts, *_and I love it!_*
3:33, my man turned into flash, also you made me fucking die man 💀
The scary part in your videos is when your walking in a dark abandon place then you just stop talking and point your flashlight everywhere and we don’t know what’s going on
Watched the first minute or so of this video, then decided to go explore it in VR with my friend. Best decision I've ever made. No horror map made me feel as much fear as this one did. And only ONE jpeg scare. Impressive.
Oh the good old Amnesia ambience, brings back some fine memories! Keep doing what your doing my dude!
While watching this I thought "Damn he might enjoy Lost in Vivo" and then I saw that one of the suggested games was Lost in Vivo from your video yesterday
I hope I was right
When I first played this map I was absolutely TERRIFIED
Love these kinds of videos! Keep up the awesome work bro!
7:34 scared the absolute shit right out of me goodness
The spund around 9:50 iz actually from the game Imscared! It's actually the sound of the spectre inhabiting the game trying to hum the main theme of the game
i love these kind of videos, keep it up
You got the full Roblox horror game experience with this one
For a map recommendation, I'd give the map Runaway : 911 a try in VR if you haven't played it already, it's a very well made horror map with puzzle elements in it and I think it'd make a good video.
I gotta say, he really does do a good job of mentioning everything you're thinking about...
"That sounded like some rattling bones" that sounded like a lightbulb dying. Which it was :P
I like the SOMA proxy sounds that is used. Scary as hell dude.
love the content man! keep it up!
Yey
I was waiting for this
I really love this channel
22:00
I can not imagine how terrifying that would be in VR.
Love you video, keep it up!
The fact that you probably missed many jumpscares and only heard them is what made the map feel even scarier
im entertained by the content this man makes
I think i just found the perfect youtuber because your voice is not annoying, your gameplay is amazing and the reactions are genuine
I love maps that just suggest that they MIGHT do something, like when you are in a hallway/maze and you can just barely make out footsteps coming up behind you, but you aren't 100% sure they are footsteps.
When lost in VEVO is too scary so to take a break you go to GMod but then it gets even worse ☠️ 😨 😱
Aside from those few cheap jump scares this was a solidly-made horror map. Kudos to the creator!
I think the part with the man facing the wall would have been more effective if the man instead just de-spawned as the player rounds the corner to get a better look at him, or just keep it as-is except replace the scream with something more subtle, like a whisper or a noise from somewhere else.
Amazing as always
keep it up man. love the content
good video!
also thanks for putting the links in description, unlike some people.
it's he second video i watch from him and he is my number 1 youtuber
I love your videos so much!
13:52
Yeah, steam tunnels. They all look fairly similar for the most part.
These maps are so well crafted. Especially the liminal space ones. They have me getting scared by CZcams premium ads 😂
10:20 isn't that Amnesia music? :) nice video btw
Loving your content!
I just crapped myself at 21:58 my I feel u dude
this dude is really underrated his content is so good i love watching these videos they are so entertaining keep up the good work man :)
Love the amnesia ambience.
That thing at 6:48 really gave me the jumps.. Even though The Librarian didn't see it. But it was just so creepy to see something staring from the dark doorway.
I don't see it...?
@@adammezza5362 I was just seeing how many people would rewind it, nothing was there :)
I think you should play Monstrum :D the monster is so freaky and has good atmosphere too
hi librarian. i had an idea. next time you go on another irl exploration of abandoned stuff, bring a detailed dummy to leave behind, best place to leave it would probably be facing a corner. that way the next explorers get a laugh. or a fright.
damn i love your channel
Love the video man
I was chillin watching and i heard safety Glock and i started dying
i played this map along with your video and it felt like you were there with me, so it was more calming
Most of the sounds on this map are from Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Really good though.
Damn right you need to wear a respirator IRL when exploring dank places. Dan Bell wasn't kidding about how awful Toxic Mold Poisoning is. First you get symptoms similar to food poisoning, then a month of Bronchitis.
alright
i have to admit
this is entertaining
