A Cyan game that involves traveling between worlds? How unusual! Get the game: www.gog.com/ga... Playlist: • Let's Play Firmament Facebook: / dilandau3000 X (Twitter): x.com/dilandau...
One of the things I love about your Let's Plays is your attention to detail. You're willing to explore nooks and crannies other LPers glance over or outright ignore.
@@StrimClocks I searched Art Deco after seeing your comment. I know basically nothing about it, except I recognize the name. However, the pictures I found don't really evoke the same sense to me. I can see some similarities, but I'm not sure it's the same style. However, I then found this: "Bioshock is built on the aesthetics of art deco." So, I dunno.
@@Mythraen I think that they are trying to be stylistically similar to art deco while not really copying it. It really comes in from the architecture of the place that gives me the feeling. There are no giant human doing something, but it still feels that way to me. It has that shiny metallic contrasted against the cool polish of the stone that I see in art deco. Your right it isn't exactly there, but still... I feel like it is hiding somewhere.
Love this series already! Eagerly waiting for new eposodes! I'll chime in the the other commenters and say that your presenting style is an absolute treasure!
I'm so glad u came back on yt I found about you BCS I was searching for a let's play of the longest journey. That game became my favourite story of all times and you my fav story teller!
This is the first time I am watching your videos as you make them as opposed to binge watching for days on end. Its delightful! Love the binging as well, though!
Awesome series, cant wait to see how this plays out, i've played all the Cyan games starting with Myst, but my old computer can't handle todays graphics
The camera movement is fast and choppy. That’s another reason why I prefer cyans pre-rendered games. And the lens flare makes it less immersive because you wouldn’t see that if you were there.
I try to be smooth with the mouse, but it's not always easy. Recording in 4K also didn't help, probably, since it does cause occasional stuttering. Lens flares will be turned off later (starting in part 6 or 7 I think).
Very curious about your thoughts on the game, which we'll hear later. No spoilers on impressions. I imagine, like most of us, you'll have plenty of things to say about it. Also, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that the narrator sounds like a female Esher.
This prepare for stuff , do one cryptic thing to prepare for another yet more cryptic thing (no spoilers, watch the video, everyone) really makes you long for a nuclear winter... Wait, no, wrong franchise. It really makes you wish you had proper documentation for once XD
Cool beansI had hoped that you would do a let's play of Firmament. (CZcams failed to notify me of part one.) I played this soon after its release (and wound up in the glitch realm several times as a result). I was captivated by the Art Nouveau-inspired architecture and decor, as well as the larger landscapes and storyline. However, I wish that the puzzles had been more challenging/logic-based. (Playing a Curievale version of "Where's Waldo" by finding virtually hidden heaters in ice doesn't count.) Moreover, I missed the choose-your-own ending typical of previous Cyan games.
30:46 When you look down the, uh, horn of the gramophone, you see that it dead-ends, so it's clearly fake. It's no wonder there's no records or interaction!

The big ball in the middle of the room looks like the mechanism in a planetarium used to project a facsimile of the sky onto the ceiling.
The Swan's design looks as if Cyan contacted the artists at Bioshock and asked, "Hey, wanna help us build a place?"
You could say that about Myst also.
Art Deco is just cool

I'm just happy to see another let's play from you. Thank you.

Now that I've seen the entire story, it is interesting to re-see it again. Most of what she says and what we see make sense now XD
Seeing the location named "Curievale" is giving me eerie vibes.
Great to see another LP series from you - appreciate the content, thank you.
If I heard these announcements over the PA at the mall I would leave and never come back! 😱
17:37 wooow cyan make some of the coolest rooms in games! 😮🤩
Its incredible that you're back after all this time. I thought you were gone for good.
Full disclosure is always the best policy, when it comes to the wife.
I fricken love Cyan and their imagination with games. I can’t wait until this gets released on PS5
This is the first time I am watching your videos as you make them as opposed to binge watching for days on end. Its delightful! Love the binging as well, though!
The mechanical crane trolley reminds me of the suspension system I saw on the Schwebebahn trains in Wuppertal.
Yeah, it's pretty similar now that you mention it. I've been to Wuppertal a few times, but I didn't make the connection while playing.
so excited to see what else we will discover !

Thank you very much for playing this. I have my curiosity piqued about this game, and you're the only person I'd want to watch play it.

Let's go! - The OG returns :)
Welcome back!
I completely missed the scrape marks from the sleep pod on the floor in my playthrough. I'm looking forward to seeing what else I didn't see.
In my playthrough I thought they just dragged our body and the marks were blood lol
I thought they were just muddy footprints.

Another let's play!!! Can't wait to watch the story unfold!!
I was hoping you would be back for this!!!

happy n7 day. every time i her the word keeprs i can't help but think of the citadel keepers and how well that went
thank you for the lets play !!!!!
Now that I've finished the game, I see how much I missed or didn't understand when I came thru here.
See the reason they don't want you to play around with the gramophone is to ensure that players in vr don't practice their record throwing skill.

Sven, I fell asleep twice watching your last video. Honestly my dude, you could make a career making ASMR videos! 🤣
I still fall asleep to the Riven play through sometimes
At first I thought this place was a mining facility to stock ice closets.

Wasn’t there something like “the swan” in Lost back in the day.
I just looked it up and in the TV series "Lost", the "hatch" which was buried in the early episodes is named "The Swan"
The founders? Crap are going to run into some shapshifters 😅
It took me forever to realize I could make a bridge with the ice block....
This is giving me Myst vibes for sure. ALso I saw the colour orange not red
Any plans to do some talos principle 1 and/or 2 gameplay? I bet it belongs to this kind of community!
Aahhh...i popped my opiates and relaxin' to part 2..
hype
edit: 4k hell yeah
Mouse movements are really janky, hmm... But other than that, it looks good.

Why do i think that a bahro is lurking about in this place?😅😅
