In witchcraft and the occult, usually it's the cats that protect you from spiritual or ethereal threats, and the dogs protect you from physical and tangle ones. Though it makes some sense that if the dog is in the real where these entities exist in tangible form, then it could actually destroy them. Cats and witches go together for this reason. Nothing all that sinister about innocent cats. Specially black ones. In fact, for witches it's the opposite belief: black cats are good luck, well the rest of people tend to fear them and kill them on halloween -please protect them.

It's funny that the nun is named Lilith. My older sister once told me that Lilith is a demon who once lived in the garden of eden and was apparently Adam's first wife, but God then banned her from the garden (can't remember why) and as a punishment all of her children would die. She was so angry at God that to seek revenge she joined the dark side and disguised herself as the snake who tricked Eve into eating the apple. Perhaps someone knows the story better than I do 😂 sorry.

I love how the dog is always wagging its tail when it's not running. Even when he's practically going through Hell!

This sort of thing is pretty common in horror media. Something looks unassuming and happy, only so that it can be all the scarier for its actual horrors. It's like going in a hot tub before leaping into a cold pool, the sheer difference amplifies the shock. Not to mention, it both makes you put your guard down just a little bit, and it builds tension as you wait for the horror you know is approaching.

Wait what if it's like where John already died, and was already caught. He lives through what happened over and over as a external nightmare forever, as in whatever ending he gets he will "relive" the nightmare forever. Or he it's like how when he woke up from the running in the woods as if it was a nightmare, but in reality it was a faint memory from his past "life" when he was running from the graveyard. So no matter what happens, it will repeat FOREVER. Lol idk if that made sense😅

That dog is awesome. Going to hell just to save his owner and saving them both from a cult who look up to a demon. The dog is good so there for the demon couldn't do any thing to make him evil beacues all dogs go to heaven like in that John fulok movie which is a classic and is very good 👍 ❤ if you guys haven't seen it go watch it, you won't regret it.

"These videos are so chilly" *"Bro...are those...horror videos?"* "Yeah but the voice make it so relaxing"

I thought that the fly in a web thing was a metaphor of how the townsfolk didn't listen to Jon about Neil existing.

I loved your gameplay of this game and can't stop watching! Glad you covered this game with a story video.

You see, the reason why the dog was able to free his owner and defeat the demons is because he's a Good Boy. He's such a Good Boy that he holds the pure goodness that defeats evil.

I just realized that helltown has some similarities to Jonestown 1. Poisonous drinks 2. A cult town 3. Cult leader being the head of the town It's safe to say it's loosely based off of the Jonestown incident At least that's what I think

since you're playing small horror games, I have two games I recommend playing. first being Beholder 2, for how it has parallels to real life dictatorship. and bugsnax, most in the part to the fact that despite it's cute artstyle and gameplay, shockingly has some adult themes to it. I hope you would you enjoy playing them. and Also I love your story explained videos, keep up the good work:)

Boy, you’re busy this summer! I’m loving the indie titles you’ve been digging up lately. Thanks for the great content as always. 😊

Yeah I'm kind of curious if you go through the small town you'll notice there aren't any children now I know that Colts some of them well have you practice abstinence but for this cult it really doesn't make sense because the entity wants to devour as many Souls as it can but I do remember in Layla's Journal her talking about her eating a small boy that came across the cabin so I'm curious did the people in the town their children as a step of some kind of ritual or am I just overthinking it

I love the story explained videos! I found this channel a few years ago, and am so glad I did. I've found all kinds of cool games (like this one!) 😁💕

The statue reminds me of the Weeping Angels. Don't blink!

I noticed in ManlyBadassHero's playthrough that the graveyard is still open in the cabin ending. I wonder what would happen in you were to explore there.

I like how this game really holds its influences on its sleeve, and it makes me wonder what homages are there that I missed or didn't recognise So far you see allusions to The Shining, Silent Hill, Lovecraft, Amnesia/Penumbra, etc There's almost certainly more that I just don't recognise, but Stephen King works like The Shining and Silent Hill are the most obvious

Mike with his great work yet again!

Oh my God it's here! I honestly love explained videos lol

What an incredible video! Great theories as always, and happy to see there was an ending involving the doggo 🐶. Helltown is a genuinely creepy and disturbing game, on par with Madison and the Mortuary Assistant in my opinion.

I was kind of expecting the beginning to be some reference to the inferno as it starts out in a forest itself and Dante is chased as well until he finds a clearing

I love the dog, mad respect for that little fluff ball

hey man i just wanted to tell you that i love your videos, i been watching your videos for a long time and i still love them

Ok, but let me expain (as European you should recognize classic medieval arts). It is not nun painting, it is modification of one of medieval Eastern European Virgin Mary Icons, there is some mayor changes in this picture. You should know that in icons everything have matters: position, color, greek symbols, gesture ect. When we compare real icon with this one in game, you can see some not accidental changes: picture is fliped horizontaly, Mary have black dress and of coures instead of Jesus, there is some piece of meat (?). Ok, it is enought of history of art for today. Have a nice day / night :)

Wow I really appreciate this explanation, it cleared up a lot of stuff I couldn’t understand. Unless I missed something tho, there’s just one thing I don’t understand, why did that entity (the same kind it looked like the dog was scaring away) kill Niel, and why did the pastor, Lilith, The Dark Ones, etc. want that? I’d appreciate if someone could clear this up

Just wanted to say I love your videos - frankly, I wouldn't even have heard of a lot of decent Indy games without them.

Your videos are really really good Mike

This low polygon aesthetic that's been showing up a lot recently with indie games is probably so popular because it gives people a nostalgic feeling for games they played growing up.
