A muscular gay man is actually called a Bull. Bears have more fat and tend to be hairy. I'm a bear :eng101:

There's a whole shitton of categories and if you fail the pop quizzes about them that can show up at anytime (one time I was swimming in the forest and a lizard on the shore quizzed me), anywhere you lose your gay license and become straight.

I appreciate the gamma correction, but now I'm wondering how dark it is. Is it as bad as the other videos?

The other videos were also gamma corrected too, so no.

The darkness is worse than in the other videos.



EDIT: After uploading this video, youtube has one of "would you like us to improve your video?" warnings. This one says, "we've detected a problem with the lighting in your video." That seems appropriate.

Well, getting the power back on would help with some of the light issues, at least inside the facility and I thought I remembered some spot lights here and there outside. I notice that you've walked by the solution a few times already though so that might take a while.

Somehow this extremely legit criticism never crossed my mind while playing the game. Because yes, absolutely, there shouldn't be anything resembling an 8 hours of darkness + 16 hours of light day/night cycle going on here.

I like how you keeping saying 'we're making progress' as if that helps XD

But wait I thought there was a sneak button. Someone said sneaking option or something.

Also I love how Nina just keels over with one leg sticking up in the air. So elegant.

I know it's part of the game's charm, but it was kind of a dick move to have the grave at the other side of the compound.

Rabbi Raccoon posted:

THE PLOT THUS FAR:

Nina is trapped in a compound called Arctic Alive, which is a research facility in the arctic. The facility was researching "Artefacts" that they found here, and somehow using those artefacts allowed the scientists to turn people into deadly tar. Unfortunately, the deadly tar people are able to reproduce by neck-snapping and now everyone in the facility is a deadly tar person, except us, because we were kept in a cage. We were probably the cook, because we were left there with some food.

You'd think liquid people should have no problem going through a chain link fence, but you'd be wrong I guess.

Why scientists were doing this, how tar people actually get made, why Nina is here, or why there's a weird death field 30 meters from the compound that has seemingly trapped two bears in here with us, are all questions we do not know the answers to.

Yeah, the mistranslations are part of the fun, but they literally just gave us a different direction than the real goal for no reason.

Impractical practicality
I kinda like that this game has some literal survival aspects to a survival horror game like the eating and drinking, and needing to be warm ect. These might be pretty interesting in a resident evil game but can't work in a blender game.

I think the insane machine translation is a plus because otherwise this would just be another generic horror story.

Are there any other horror games that combine hardcore survival and horror? The closest thing I can think of is The Solus Project, though there the horror is mostly confined to the cave portions (especially when it introduces the smoke monsters).
The rest of the game is more about the general horror of leaving your overnight shelter and staring up the business end of a tornado.

So... is this the second or the third session? Do you figure out how to sneak before the next one? Something tells me you were really intended to be able to do that. Besides, line of sight clearly means nothing with these guys, they seem to react solely to sound and their detection radius is based solely on proximity, walls do nothing.

Also, are you sure hat the cannistet that's currently full of water can only be filled with water? Because it seems really weird that you still can't resore elecricity at this point. Maybe if you poured out all the water it could be filled with gas in the basement.

It can absolutely only be filled with water. Also, there are two more videos of session 2 remaining still. We haven't recorded or played this game since about a week before the thread has been up.

Y'know i could have sworn that there WAS a sneak button, cause Kamoc (tortoiseontour) did his streams of the game and in the second part said he liked it a lot better after he found out how to sneak? Not sure it even works on the bears though, cause he seemed to be mostly talking about the shadowmen.

What would constitute a 'hot place' because we're in the middle of the arctic, can't stop sneezing in certain places, and there is no oil/fuel. Even the stoves when making cooked leg are not warm.

Oh my god. Ok, I know they may not be as prevalent as they are in Finland, but surely there's a sauna around the complex somewhere. Clearly that's' where all the Hot Artefacts went.

Look for a building that says 'Banya' and watch the detector light up.

The Joey will have seen the things in the experimenting which are to be upset. Over the bears and the people of the liquid which is surprising more. When found, the ending damages the mind alters. It is suggested the cage.
