Are there any other games like this?

Game seems to have a really strong premise,

not your typical high fantasy RPG adventure.

I'm rather glad and pleasantly surprised Ross did this one. It's one of those games I'd want to play, however at the same time, wouldn't want to go through the tedium of it all as well. This just makes me hungry for more videos though.

[Music] hey welcome to the game dungeon now if you're like me you can be a little let down once halloween is over because now it feels like it's just me that wants spooky stuff to continue pretty much year round and society no longer has my back on that even though they did last month yeah it's kind of a bummer well i've been wanting to make a post halloween episode for exactly this occasion we've got a game here that's honestly not that scary but it's got a mood to it and it's perfect for trailing off halloween and dropping us into november demonica i think that actually is how it's pronounced it's sort of an rpg but more of an adventure game one of those hybrids let's get going it's always the ones you least expect they appear silently and then disappear again into the dark the strangers no clues left behind human abominations listen to this sound effect but one trace this is where i shall search for it search for what okay let's go after a few miles the landscape had changed beyond recognition right the sky was overcast with heavily laden clouds from which every now and then blinding claws of light well this monologue goes on a little bit he's talking about how it's cold and raining but really he has no one to blame but himself i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure they had sleeves in the middle ages hey fashion can come at a cost also this game seems to be struggling with the fact that it's a game this is more like reading a book don't tell what you can show you know in fact in the menu if we click on story it's just all the written backstory this would have been perfect for a voiceover with image slides and sound effects oh well now you probably think we should follow the path right no well yeah you can do that but we need to look for herbs so let's hop to it i've played this game before and i don't remember a lot but i do remember we need herbs so while i'm digging them up what's going on here is this guy is nicholas fairpoint he goes around solving grizzly murders he uses unorthodox methods has all sorts of angst going on with his life says people don't like him it's not clear to me how he earns any money normally but we have an actual commission this time the mayor of this town has called for us this is basically going to be a medieval low fantasy version of the movie 7. okay i found some herbs let's get moving yeah kind of lame despite having a good voice actor for the monologues that's all we get no voice acting on any of the dialogue oh well we come inside and are greeted by the mayor who says to follow him we can't talk out here and that leads to everybody's favorite the follow the npc sequence yeah not a great start but i'm liking the look of this village you can tell they're kind of generic assets but i feel like the designer really made them work i think the lighting is what doesn't and i have no idea if i'm right or not but this has a torque engine look to me it's giving me that torque feel maybe someone can confirm or deny that and speaking of the engine i want you to know i tried to make this widescreen i busted out the hex editor and thought i found the right values and it did technically work but i wasn't able to adjust the aspect ratio or field of view that's above my pay grade so we're just gonna have to work with 1280 by 1024. back to the game we make it to our new house then the mayor gives us the skinny on what's going on he hired us to solve a couple disappearing but since he sent that message a girl has been murdered in a super heinous way stabbed all over cutting the skin off her back awful stuff but not to worry because her fiance was at the scene of the crime and had blood all over him and was out of his damn mind just muttering to himself couldn't communicate at all so that must be our culprit right well the mayor sure thinks so which is why he had him hung immediately next day even he fast tracked the whole process so that's all taken care of nothing we really need to do about that but hey that couple is still missing and if they were to turn up dead and we could tie it back to the guy we already hung that would be super convenient but hey just see what you can find okay bye yeah we get another well delivered monologue recap and back to the game well first things first now that we've been let inside the town it's earth picking time so i'll just be picking up every herb there is maybe i'll get lucky and run into a clue if this town has a healer or herbalist i'm their worst nightmare there's not gonna be a spare herb for miles once i'm done with this place hey an axe why i have my sword ah you too huh demonica well i talked to the blacksmith to see what he's up to the mayor is the biggest bastard on god's earth if he gives me the slightest motive he'll be a dead man and i won't care what happens next cool cool yeah it turns out the guy that the mayor hung the blacksmith here was training as an apprentice and apparently the mayor likes to sleep around too hey it's the mayor's wife wandering the woods at night cool cool the herbalist saw you coming in her dreams and warned me against you talk to her please it is important you discover your destiny aha so this town does have an herbalist sounds like she's a smart woman she knows i'm gonna put her out of business yeah she warned you about me huh well she was right what are you doing there in the bushes looking for herbs well you're wasting your time i already got him moving along we meet a fisherman he moved here because of his sister now she's dead and he hates it here and wants to leave he thinks the mayor is strange but don't tell him he said that or else he'll have him burned okay next we meet the mayor's wife's maid she hates it here and says the mayor doesn't like her but it's time to meet my nemesis the herbalist herself we'll see who's better at picking herbs darkness spreads around everywhere and a putrid ulcer seizes every clean thing its blood is black and its breath kills yeah she's talking about me since we're all doomed now she says she's not feeling the evil from me but it doesn't matter it's my fate to bring about the end times nothing i can do okay i know where this is coming from it's because he has tattoos nicholas doesn't hide them they're out in the open i'd say it's less common now but it used to be a lot of small town people would talk like this for example i'm a guy and i have long hair i could expect a similar reaction from people in a town like this long hair tattoos envoy of darkness bringing about the apocalypse it's all the same thing to people like this except nicholas has it even worse because at least people like her can tell me to cut my hair so i have a chance for redemption but he can't just take off his tattoos so that's it he's damned he's in league with the devil now nothing he can do okay grandma i'll just be on my way then and my way leads me to the landlord's son he's an arrogant prick who hates the people here he's studying to oxford but has to lay low here because the black death is in full force now moving on with our roster is the town doctor he mistakes me for someone else i get confused then he's like oh no shut up i thought you were somebody else never mind you didn't hear anything okay the mayor is a degenerate man i won't talk in details because i don't tell tales and as a doctor i should maintain confidentiality he says there's barely any fish left the fisherman should leave soon he also doesn't like the herbalist listen carefully it's just a matter of time before she poisons somebody and we'll be lucky if it's just one i heard she even pours that gunk of hers into the local wells oh boy well the doctor examined the body of the girl says he thinks it was a curved blade and there was gravel in the wounds we are all to blame for it sins everything that happens is god's will rotten plants choking mist animals behaving strangely all this for our sins what could be worse than god's punishment there's no point in defending ourselves we will all pay in the end local people don't need to cure their bodies but souls we are all sentenced to a slow death here the water is hardly drinkable and the bread made from local corn causes cramps there's nothing left here to protect we're all paying for our ancestors sins okay thanks for the diagnosis doc finishing up our roster of characters is the local landlord who's surprisingly nice i guess he inherited the land some crazy guy is screaming that voices are telling him where the treasure is and he has to defend it and finally the tavern owner who's just trying to save up enough to get out of here he would sell the place in a heartbeat but nobody would buy it so he's just gonna have to cut and run he's also the first person who actually believes that the guy who is hung is the one who murdered the girl so score one for the mayor anywho my tour of the town is complete so time to mix up some knockout drops so i can drug the guard and steal the body of the guy who was hung and take him back to my place back at my place now i need to mix up a special potion to kill myself oh yeah i forgot to mention the reason nicholas is so good at his job is he'll mix up a potion to kill himself then he goes through this special procedure to talk to the dead then hustle some demon to carry his soul back to his body before it turns cold so it's sort of like a medieval detective version of the movie flatliners and there's my potion yeah see i needed a bunch of herbs for that one now he also has to chain himself to the wall i didn't follow what that's all about that sounds like what you'd do if you were worried you were gonna turn into a werewolf he's drinking poison seems like you just lie down for that one don't drink poison kids when people talk about the socratic method this isn't what they mean plus you're not qualified see nick here has special training in the language of demons in order to boss them around while his spirit is drifting away it sounds like it might be middle eastern in origin well they do have that hell crater okay off to the land of the dead or somewhere eh i'm a little disappointed this is more like the foyer of the dead you have to choose the manner of death of the victim you want to talk to and after you do that then it gets complicated where you have to choose what motivated them in life the sign they were born under and the demon you want to talk to you get any of this wrong your toast the lesson here is just because you kill yourself that doesn't mean you get to escape bureaucracy sounds like hell to me and listen to all this spoken dialogue we're getting a demon tongue but can't be bothered to have the villagers speak and here's the real realm of the dead i guess just some wisp we talked to roger the dead guy but he says he's tormented wants you to leave him alone but nick says he wants to bring justice for his fiancee roger says he doesn't care about justice he's dead he's got other problems now so nick counters saying he has to protect the living from the murderer but roger's not buying it he says he doesn't care about the living he's dead are you thick yeah this isn't going so well then roger steps it up a notch and says hey fuzz i'm a ghost want to know exactly how and when you'll die how about i tell you that bet you want to hear that one huh oops too late yeah you're going to die by your own dagger i'll be seeing you again soon but nick keeps annoying him so roger gives in says he doesn't know who killed his fiance and doesn't care he mentions how time has no meaning here and said that there was a brooch at the crime scene but the mayor stole it and that's all he knows now leave me alone and surprise the game actually allowed you to screw yourself at this point because if you didn't lock your door beforehand the mayor and the guards burst in to hang you just to be safe but i'm giving this a pass because that only sets you back five minutes plus the game warns you multiple times to lock the door and really that's just common sense i mean who keeps dead bodies in their house and doesn't lock the door not me so nick comes back from the land of the dead and has an incredibly bad hangover it takes him an hour just to get back out of bed yeah i guess dying would do that to you worse really honestly i'd say the trip to the dead wasn't worth it the conversation with the ghost went about how i thought it might and he barely knew anything i guess we'll follow up on the one clue we have talk to the mayor about that brooch the mayor says blah blah blah quit bothering me this is going nowhere but if we explain the problem to the blacksmith he's more motivated that perverted bastard i'll be happy to give you a hand i'll talk to him and you can be sure he'll be more talkative afterwards indeed he is he threw it out somewhere near the crime scene you have disappointed me greatly mr fairpoint yeah well your face disappoints me greatly but that doesn't stop me from doing my job and yep there's the brooch we ask around and it belongs to the landlord's prick son yeah don't worry about it pops i'll return this one to him myself he denies it's his at first but i press him then bam we get a full confession that's convenient a lot of murder mysteries don't work out like that well he didn't actually murder her he found her dying in the grass tried to get her help from the mugs they didn't do anything so she died then he brought her back to her fiance's house to frame him he says she was stupid because he liked her but she liked her fiance instead of him yeah now it sounds reasonable when you put it like that then he changed his clothes and told the mayor he had screaming coming from roger's house and that was that so he's guilty but he's not the murderer more like conspiracy to commit murder of roger he didn't kill the girl then he says he only told me all this just to see the look on my face before he killed me on guard yeah that's a real smart plan kid threatening some out out-of-town drifter older than you with tattoos dressed in a leather medieval muscle shirt who has a sword on him at all times and the game switches to action combat i kind of wish i could block here i feel like this is another eternum problem where this is going to alienate people who don't want to have to deal with any arcade action at all but for action fans this is happening an hour or two into the game they're not going to make it this far to begin with thankfully i'm in both camps so on we go spare me please yeah whatever oh i can block with the space bar that's what i get for skipping the manual anyway this scene draws a big crowd which we don't get to see the truth comes out that the mayor hung the wrong guy then they haul off the landlord's son for some frontier justice and now the mayor's pissed at me says the guy he executed was crazy anyway the landlord's kid wasn't the real murderer and the people are starting to panic well he's not wrong then he says go find his wife in the swamp what the hell why didn't she have a guard next to her whatever along the way i bump into the wife of the crazy guy at the tavern she says she's forbidden from talking to strangers otherwise her husband will think they're after his imaginary treasure and beat her again well that makes sense so moving on there's his wife and look the guard is still there what's the problem here she says she doesn't want to go home and has a guard with her that's what i was saying this is pointless the mayor just wants to watch people run around i'm going to bed i got stabbed tonight nick has bad dreams he wakes up and there's blood all over the side of his house the fisherman's rod snapped in two and a scream off in the distance another day another dollar i look all over for him i can't find him but i do find some herbs the maids in love with him i'm not telling her he's probably dead and the crazy guy's wife is out looking for her husband he's missing too well i'll be sure to tell him he's crazy if i see him i may have to see him though it turns out he was stalking outside the doctor's office waiting for him to leave so he could steal some of his papers i guess i'll look for him since i have no more leads but just so you know this isn't really my job and in the middle of this we get a training mini game with the blacksmith to get better at sword combat this is another one of those situations where i can't tell if the game is bad or i am i'm blocking now but it feels completely random as to whether the enemy is going to swing block or just stand there we're both very fast at blocking so even if he's standing there or if i try to attack him immediately after i parry him that's no guarantee it will hit he can always block my attacks anytime he wants to it feels like a slot machine it is relatively forgiving if you play a lot of action games though but it's not if you only play graphic adventure games if you don't have arcade reflexes this could be a complete roadblock for you again this feels like such a small niche of players that they're targeting mixing the two genres like this i'm not complaining personally but it seems like you lose sales doing this or at least people who finish your game from here we start going off the rails a little bit because the herbalist says she'll find the missing crazy guy but she needs a special herb that is invisible to the naked eye but not to fear she has the solution of me drinking her own special brand of poison that will allow me to see the herb yeah this is mandatory i don't have a choice here she says to come back once i find the herb so she can get the poison out of my system wink wink down the hatch seems like we're drinking an awful lot of poison in this game yep there's the magic herb let's head back to the witch i mean herbalist yeah she doesn't have an antidote instead she just bleeds me to the brink where i'm literally starting to see a demon come to take my soul away but then eases off well i should have seen this coming nick may be the number one herb gatherer but that doesn't mean the local one's going down without a fight the herbs give her some vision that the guy's underground i think she just wanted to get high and she's making the rest of this up as she goes that means he's in the mines so we would head there but then some cultist shows up to stab us again i guess oh he's just a monk from the monastery yeah that would make sense he says they need to talk to us fine it's not like i know what i'm doing the abba there says one of their brothers is about to commit suicide and they need me to talk him down because there's some internal monk politics going on and it'll be better if a complete stranger does it okay i go and talk to him and he's having none of it all right some of you may want to avert your eyes for this next part it gets pretty graphic [Music] yeah this all feels like it's coming out of nowhere i go back and tell the abbott the monk's dead i guess the moral here is if you want a job done right you don't ask a complete stranger off the street well the ambit says aw shucks and ask if we can at least go get the body for him sure why not i at least know something about hauling bodies around plus as luck would have it he landed right next to the mine so this is on my way anyway as soon as i get down there some bandit has already looted the monk stole his robe and tied his naked body to a rock and dumped him in the pond this is a very proactive bandit i'm surprised he would see value in a dead guy's robe with blood on it especially when the black plague is roaming around but here we are oh and he wants to rob me too nope aha so we finally get to the mines and hey we find the missing guy from earlier before we got here not the new missing guys it turns out he's a zombie though flesh decaying black blood the full package though we can still use a weapon this is definitely going to complicate the investigation we fight but he just runs off that's not very zombie-like of him and the crazy missing guy is here too but he's just dead not a zombie so that leaves only two missing people the zombie's wife and the fisherman but i wouldn't hold my breath on either of them well you know the game wants us to take this body but dragging a body through the town gates is hard to explain so we dress him up in the monk's robe since i'm supposed to be hauling that body through town using the old noggin yeah so back in our place it's time for some more poison action and here we are in the land of the dead again fill out our forms and there's the crazy guy this conversation is even less helpful than the last one not only is he in denial that he's dead all he wants to know is where his money is yeah can you imagine dying coming to some light at the end of a tunnel and then the first thing you see is some guy saying where's my money actually i can't imagine that so the only thing of value he says is that somebody said they'd pay him money if they stole the doctor's papers that's not that helpful though yeah back to land of living you know i think nick is a little quick to jump to killing himself as an investigative technique so far the information we're getting from these ghosts is weak at best i feel like the risk versus reward ratio is just garbage here i mean i probably still wouldn't do it but if i were to head to death store just to ask a ghost some questions i'd want some pretty big answers like the location of atlantis or something after i can walk again i go tell the doctor what happened he tells me to get some sleep fine i will now you may have noticed this already but i have to say i really like the mood to this game i mean sometimes just walking around at night among the torchlights and hearing the crickets yeah it has something i like that i can't explain i've heard people say the same of stardew valley though that's not really my kind of game you know i actually don't remember how this game ends or who the murderer is but i totally remember this town vibe and the music the music there's not a lot of it but it's all good i guess the combat music is a little generic but it's mostly the town music that has this sinister but comforting vibe to it [Music] i love it plus i think i'm hearing some influences i mean this one sounds metroid-ish and tell me this doesn't sound like it could be straight out of gothic [Music] it's all great it's easily accessible too they're located in the game folder as high quality wma files yeah wow windows media audio wasn't one of the winners of the music format wars was it well off the bed more crazy dreams of the mayor's wife and the fisherman with snakes coming out of his mouth then bam bam bam somebody at the door hi i'm fabius but you can call me fabulous because look at me he's bidding me farewell because i'm leaving yeah i don't think so i'm not leaving while there's a body in my cellar bub i asked him why he came here he says i'm rude for asking him direct questions and says he doesn't want to waste any more time with me okay then he says i don't understand what's going on here twice and nothing i'm doing is helping but of course he's too busy to explain to me why he says i'm gonna die and thought i would be wiser and tell the doctor he's here i've dealt with people like this before going from friendly to passive aggressive to aggressive in the span of 30 seconds or so they get offended by direct questions that would cut through the [ __ ] and of course they have time to wake me up and argue with me but don't have time to explain why they think i'm wrong i guarantee you fabius's descendants are posting on an internet forum right now well welcome to murder town fabius you'll fit right in yeah the blacksmith doesn't like him either thinks he's dangerous man this guy should be mayor the real mayor has been spending his time literally staring at a wall according to the maid that's a good sign well we find him at the doctor's house and he says my services are no longer required he also wants to know where the doctor's lies about him are all sins of the past shall be burned not even a fly will land on his window if he doesn't permit it all shall honor him very soon well enjoy the megalomania i've still got a case to solve the witch reminds me i'm doomed again and is confused why i haven't killed her yet okay grandma remember to eat and apparently the doctor has run outside the town walls cool my missing persons list was getting a little low let's go find him instead i find a guy scared out of his mind hugging a tree but he's not reported as missing so uh carry on no problem here let's check the mines yep it's that damn zombie again can we just kill him this time don't pull a resident evil 3 on me i hate having to kill the same guy over and over again oh he can good and here's the doctor he came down here looking for his papers and now he's dying says the zombie poisoned him too i can offer him a healing potion i was actually saving this for myself but fine i'll pick some more herbs i guess i take him back to my place where he gets better until he says uh-oh i'm about to die again quick what month were you born in and there he goes i guess we're finishing this conversation later after i've had a nice tall glass of poison yeah yeah here are my papers there's the doc and i guess third time's the charm he tells me just about everything again we're missing out on not having a big cut scene here the super short version is there's an ancient demon that got imprisoned around these parts the catholic church knew about it and it was safely sealed for hundreds of years but it looks like he's trying to break free and that's what's causing all the problems around town in other words this is diablo this game is a prequel to diablo awesome okay not exactly but the plot is almost the same and they both have that great somber town music so the doctor's papers say how to unlock the demon i guess so i need to just take care of everything okay bye suddenly everything had begun to fit together like a jigsaw uh oh i checked the internet the jigsaw puzzle was invented in the 1700s now maybe it existed earlier but this is the 1300s we're flirting with anachronisms nick watch it back on the case the witch asked me to kill her again no grandma and now some of the monks are missing damn it fabius is in the church graveyard giving me more passive aggressive talk fabius if you go missing i'm not looking for you oh no the witch got killed we have to fight a demon thing and this is a demon not the demon we haul her back to our place because of course that's what we do do you really need to kill yourself again to talk to her nick she wasn't holding out on anything all she's gonna do is tell you you're doomed again and whoops there's the mayor's wife okay this is gonna be hard to explain she says i should have locked the door behind me yeah i guess so but he probably just wanted to set the body down first so congrats you got me in the one minute window i left the door unlocked she says she's in love with me even though we've literally only talked maybe twice in this game and it was just about where people are have you seen this boy yeah it was about like that but this is a small town and he has muscles and tattoos and is a loner with a lot of angst so sure this doesn't seem too far-fetched but unfortunately this creates a paradox because she doesn't care that you have a basement filled with bodies so that means it's going to be okay and you can be with her right well no because you don't wanna be with a woman who doesn't care that you have a basement secretly filled with bodies i think this is a no win scenario but they're making it out like he'll take her away from here after the case is over okay i just don't think this is going to work out oh good it's your now crazy husband just so we want to see hey i'm eloping with your wife that's cool right he tells her to head back home and says to meet him at his house he wants to talk to me yeah i bet he does so we come to his house he offers us some wine don't drink it nick he's crazy nick drinks the wine then the mayor tells us he's working for the demon and would offer us a position but he doesn't think it's going to work out because this is just a big stall tactic because he just poisoned our wine damn it nick oh also in the 30 seconds it took you to walk over here i went and drowned my wife can't run off with her now huh okay you're poisoned bye yeah this is mandatory you can't not drink the wine and i guess that's the game nick's an idiot okay wards time first award that's diablo prequel i like how the big twist was this was all more or less a build up to the events in diablo i didn't see that coming the first time i played it and i somehow forgot that the second time around i like diablo and i like the surprise prequel also second award great village at night vibe i'm not saying the best because others have probably done this better but this one's surprisingly good to pull this off with just simple assets and what's probably the torque engine is impressive i mean maybe i'm just brainwashed but i didn't get sick of the backtracking because i was enjoying the atmosphere on the contrary it made me really wish i could see the village from the ground level and not just the isometric view in fact drop me a line if you want to take a crack at that though i won't be any help at all on a tactical level also if you know of any other game villages with great night vibes let's hear them the one on melee island from the secret of monkey island is pretty great that would be close to the top of the list for me the one from vermintide would be good but that's mostly just screaming rat man all the time so that kind of takes away from the mood and the final award okay trick-or-treat he's not quite dead just sort of in between and he starts hearing his dead mentor slash ex-girlfriend i think you are very lucky he used poison to which you are partially accustomed yeah you know what i buy that nick here chugs so much poison i can believe he has a partial tolerance to whatever the mayor used anyway his dead ex-girlfriend says he's an idiot for poisoning himself so many times just to talk to ghost i kind of agree she also says she knows what he's thinking don't bring the mayor's wife back to life see in the foyer of the dead you pick the same demon each time but you can pick another demon to try to bring the person back to life but nobody's ever done that and lived so it says in his diary nobody attempts that because it might be suicide now his dead ex-girlfriend may not be an impartial judge here because she knows they want to hook up but i still think don't drink poison is good advice on her part well time to get up and kick some ass if we go back to nick's house all the bodies have been removed somebody did us a favor honestly it was gonna get rank in there if we wander around town demons are just starting to take over we saved the tavern owner from one and the landlord those are both optional actually but come on what's the point of playing a game called demonica if you're not going to step up to the plate the blacksmith is having a blast this is the most fun he's had in a long time again mayor material and we find helen the mayor's ex-wife now i guess this drowning seriously happened within 30 seconds of real time look here's your house here's the mayor's the time to walk in between those two is when he drowned her and you know nick he sees this and he's got to poison himself again he comments on how liberating it feels to not have to hide the fact that he's hauling bodies through town since everything's in chaos eh simple pleasures now i just saved my game here but i think the game might actually allow you to poison yourself twice in a row here because again you get to pick which demon to summon and if you just want to talk to her it gets weird she just starts talking about how amazing her blood is and it talks to her and she can learn a lot from it sounds a little vampirey to me yeah this would not have been a good relationship well what the game wants you to do is ignore your dead ex-girlfriend and go ahead and resurrect her so uh here we go well nick lives that's good but nothing happens she's still super dead so yeah this is getting anticlimactic it's probably just as well though i got the feeling she was going to technically come back to life but this is going to be more of a pet cemetery or re-animator situation things can always get worse guys well to spice things up the monks opened up a [ __ ] leading to a secret tunnel i got lost as to why they did that but whatever it's diablo inside the crips look who it is mr fabulous he starts lecturing us again jesus christ this guy and he says straight up he wants to liberate the demon but he's not all ha ha about it that would be better honestly instead he just keeps saying i don't understand i think he said that to me maybe 10 times by now yep see you know nothing there he did it again man this guy is getting on my nerves but he finally tries to explain himself saying that the past watchers of the demon were weak but he's better and don't worry he'll use the demon for good oh sure yeah that's totally something that's going to happen this next part is so on point it's painful he says the pope is being controlled by the queen of france and now the black death is rampant coincidence i think not so naturally we need to release an ancient imprisoned demon does that really make me the bad guy how can you not see it you fool ugh this is exactly how political discussions feel to me nowadays i mean this is 1300s politics but this is closer to home than i thought it would let's keep going there's another demon some puzzles a zombie begging me to kill him not a problem and this part is kind of cheap guess how we find one of the secret keys yeah we cut open this mattress this totally background junk prop looking mattress and this is after passing multiple other junk mattresses oh look a broken down desk this could be critical to no this is all garbage now this is hardly the worst from adventure games but it's still cheap well we make it to the inner chamber and there's the mayor he's all bummed and is speaking in the third person because he disappointed the demon surprise surprise uh oh cover your eyes [Music] okay this is it this is the showdown here's the demon and fabius being annoying and hey this game has multiple endings let's scratch them off the easiest is to just give in to fabius's delusions and let the demon possess him yeah go for it you stupid bastard and mixed feelings on this ending because we get a looping cgi video which looks nice but then the entire ending is just text on a screen apparently it would have killed them to have some art slides here portraying what's happening oh well it says the demon enters his body everything is completely normal fabius returns to rome then later we get a new pope and the crusades go into overdrive it sounds like the demon was playing the long game i'm pretty sure this is the wrong choice so let's rewind and fight him instead uh skip ahead a bit we kill fabius but then we enter this demonic circle of power here see i think we shouldn't have done that and the demon is super pissed we killed them but says our body will do instead see this is how we know fabius didn't know what he was talking about the demon wanted to possess him fabius was an idiot but look who it is helen is alive after all and appears to not be a zombie wow turns out she's the great granddaughter of some important guy who imprisoned the demon which gives her an edge i don't know i'm lost now so the demon possesses her and she's acting totally normal okay honey let's run away together like we talked about uh so this is a dilemma your options are to either kill her or run away together this is a problem because we're operating in the dark see this isn't the movie fallen where we have clear rules of how our demon hopping works if you kill her nick is even more angsty than he was and feels awful even though this was probably the best thing for humanity but was it really see if we're operating under fallen rules that means if he kills her all that would happen would mean the demon possesses him and that's no good either the only thing i'm sure of is he shouldn't have stepped in that glowing circle binding the demon what the hell nick you're bringing half of this on yourself so the only other option is to head off with helen which seems to work out though it's permanently in the back of his mind that she's possessed by a demon i've been there and he sleeps with a dagger under his pillow with her every night the end yeah yeah this is kind of a mess no matter how you slice it now admittingly possessing a commoner woman during the middle ages means it doesn't have much in the way of power to do too much damage but again i think this demon is playing the long game it's gonna be on the lookout for a better mark later on and we get to hear about what happened to some of the villagers depending on if you saved them from zombies or not which i did so more good than bad oh and it turns out the fishermen got zombified and hunted down still never found the monks or the wife of the missing couple now the wife of the crazy guy came out ahead since she said it was just a matter of time before he was going to beat her to death so that's something i don't think anybody really wins this game but diablo's ending was kind of crash and burned too it's like i said halloween's over so this game prepares you for november what we probably should have done is let fabius get possessed then as he's walking back shove him over the edge and run away then tell the monks to bury the entrance again i don't know awards yeah i've got one more rasputin approved okay he wasn't frozen or shot but he was stabbed and i counted nick got poisoned six times in this game with a possible option for seven and i'm not even counting how he may have shrugged off some poison from that zombie whose attacks poisoned the doctor i'm not seeing a character get poisoned this many times in a game and still live i'm not sure i've heard of this in anything and i don't mean some abstract poison status effect in an rpg where all it means is you take damage for 30 seconds or something no i mean it's in your bloodstream you're down for the count grim reaper is coming to take you away nick is the poison king this is insane and that's the post halloween episode stay tuned for the next one for a hollow wait wait no a first person shooter with great music and i'll have a bonus for you too it'll be good [Music] oh
