I don’t have any personal experiences of “being excited” for heaven myself, but just before my grandma passed away on hospice, she told us how she was excited to see her mommy and daddy again. Like a little kid who had just been away at camp for a week. It seems like a lot of people have this eerie calm and acceptance just before it happens and it’s honestly made me feel slightly better about it.

My mom was experiencing terrible stomach cancer and just days before she passed, she couldn't wait to die and go to heaven, Which is not something I ever heard my mom ever wanted or say but she is religious which makes sense. She believed in the afterlife in heaven, and while she was suffering through cancer which I can imagine has been a painful hell only exasperated the decision to leave even more. I personally not sure what will happen when we die. Maybe there is a heaven and a hell or maybe it's just a dark black void forever, or maybe there is another calming, drifting experience into the stars or some new life as a ghost/spirit, or perhaps reincarnation and return to life in another body and mind. It's scary, there is nothing certain and death in itself and the purpose of life is very mysterious. I only hope that when we die that it isn't scary or completely nothing. My currently belief for now is that when we do pass, it's all black and nothing. A permanent void of floating in nothing space to sleep forever. But I seriously hope that I am wrong on that.

@@nicklasvevaactually the Bible believe it or not (I’m agnostic) makes a lot of sense in philosophical and even spiritual level. If you read the Old Testament the ancient Israelites didn’t believe In hell or heaven. They believed in Sheol which is Hebrew for death or grave. In the original Hebrew Bible heaven as a paradise is never mentioned hell as a place of eternal punishment isn’t either. Sheol was then later translated to “hell” and “hades” in the Greek and KJV versions same with Latin. The book of Matthew’s in the New Testament was also first written in Hebrew until luke and Paul and I think Peter also translated it into Greek due to ancient Israel being heavily influenced by Hellenists under Roman occupation after the Macedonians conquered Israel. Jesus also never taught in the concept of heaven or hell. He was a first century Jew and like a first century Jew he didn’t believe in an afterlife. He believed once you died your dead. The Jews till this day are pretty vague and nihilist when it comes to the afterlife. Jesus also never went to “hell” and preached. He was in the grave “Sheol” until god resurrected him. So according to the Bible it’s pretty accurate on the afterlife. There isn’t one. Only death. It’s not when I’m the second coming of Jesus when everyone who died even those who drowned in the sea and were mutilated by beasts will be resurrected and judged and live in “paradise” here on earth for eternity.

There’s that depressing saying where you die twice. The first is your physical death, and the second death is when the ones that knew of you and remembered you speak your name for the final time.

I've found that the concept of death was a dark cliff side we're constantly walking toward, but backward. Once taking that plunge, the light fades, and yet it's the only fall that doesn't end in a crash. It doesn't end any way. The concept, the basic understanding of falling, darkness, life, and death become inaccessible. But in that placid darkness, fear also doesn't exist, no pain, agony, no stresses from your life can follow. No registration of anything, no ability to mourn, regret, hope, or wonder. In the last seconds of your ability to wonder, fear, love, and imagine, you'll be freer than you ever have been. What's it like? Much like going to sleep. You're not concisous of the moment you finally nod off. The world becomes undetected for the briefest of moments, and you aren't dreaming. There's no guarantee you'll wake, you may not, but that doesn't scare you. You're just going to sleep. What's beyond life? No one knows, no one can know. Anyone who says they know only hope they do, only hope it's true. It's a sleep, and perhaps, perchance, there are dreams to be had that are more than our material universe. The one thing we know, or can say for certain, that happens when we die is...the ones who love us...will miss us.

This is a great comment. Reminds me of the quote from Jacob's Ladder: "But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth" Also weirdly enough sometimes I do actually get scared right before sleep. Knowing I can't experience that transition into sleep, it's unknowable what it's like to fall asleep. How my brain probably has to do a bunch of complicated things to be able to get into sleep mode and then wake me up after a few hours. What if it fails? What if something goes wrong? But it never does, I always wake back up. It's kinda terrifying in a way, an unknowable experience that my life depends on. Yet I look forward to this rejuvenation every night. Maybe that's also what death is like. A rejuvenation and freedom from life.

I See death in a different way, but I still agree with you. How I see death is, everything we feel, see.. everything, is just chemical reactions in our brain reacting to make us feel emotions. There’s things in our body that make us alive. We are like animals biologically. When you die, those stop. Without those chemical reactions, you can’t think. I think death is just the absence of everything, your body is disconnected and everything goes blank. When a bug dies, the same thing happens. You don’t question where the bug goes when it’s dead, it’s just gone. You can’t think with the lack of a body and brain. I think this is comforting to me, even though it is the end, because with even with the lack of sense, the lack of everything after death, it doesn’t mean you can’t lead a meaningful life. It doesn’t mean you can’t change. It’s comforting because.. even when you’re gone you can still rest. Even with the lack of everything, there is peace.

I heard somewhere that since you can't experience non-existence you actually exist forever, assuming that the time and universe is in fact infinite. After an infinite amount of time all the atoms that you were made out off and of everything that ever was there have to at some point get back together, even if that moment will happen after an infinite amount of time. And since you can't experience not existing it's kinda lika a cut out section where you instantly get back to the existence again.

The second reason being that a Christian organization refused to give me a job because I was Baptist instead of Catholic. While I still love The Lord, I don’t go to Church, listen to pastors preach something I’ve already read cover to cover and I no longer give my money to charities since I know it isn’t going where it’s supposed to go.

The goal is to seek not just any kingdom, but the heavenly kingdom, and to make life here on Earth as it is in heaven. The moral is that through love, we can participate in the heavenly kingdom. It's not "behave so you go to heaven when you die", it's if we all could learn to love our neighbors and existence itself, then we would be in paradise.

Loved writing the music for this, Awkward Silence Games never misses. Link to the game is in the video description FYI.

I was the type of person that didn't really care about death or what happens after until I was 20. Then, I had some health problems and trauma that gave me panic attacks and thanatophobia. Since I was an atheist, I didn't have a God I could pray, but ironically, I was terribly afraid of non existing/the void.

I really remember when I realised that death was inevitable. I was 10, in the London tub, and I never had a day without an existential crisis since. I grew up in a Catholic family so I should have known there would be an heaven but I couldn't be sur and it was killing me. Once in the army I asked our priest about the possibility of no heaven or hell after death, what if there is nothing. He then told me that is probably what awaits us. I was speechless. He then told me that hell is living a life knowing it will end and that nothing will matter in the end. Heaven is enjoying life knowing it won't last eternally. So yeah, I don't know where they find their priests in the army but they are a special kind of wonderful people. Love each other, find joy in little things, pet your cat, take care of you and your loved one. It's hard to know it will end but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy the ride.

I grew up Christian as well and the first experience I remember was my mom telling me about not heaven specifically but the rapture to heaven, I feared it so much. I was around 5 and all I cared because I was 5 was my cat and my favorite TV shows. So I asked will my cat be in heaven? No. I can I watch my favorite TV show in heaven? No. I was terrified of it for years. And anything to do with the world ending (which is basically what the rapture is) absolutely petrified me. I only stopped worrying when I realized the world didn't end in 2012 and all this world ending was BS. But that took about 20 years to let that fear go.

I started uncontrollably shedding tears at the end. Not crying, just...tears coming out. Very weirdchamp, but I think it's because of the relatability with the story of this game. If life means nothing, why not there be love is kind of the motto I've, whether intentional or not, lived by almost my entire life. I'm selfless to a point of it negatively impacting my life because I know I'm not happy and haven't been in 15+ years, so why not make somebody else happy? This video was a weird experience but a welcome one, thanks for that Scare.

Games like these need more recognition. Such a beautiful and powerful message in this age of humanity.

I was told that heaven is "a paradise that lasts forever." It terrified the hell out of me and I'll never forget it. I was an 8 year old trying to reconcile with eternity. It didn't matter what the conditions were, the idea of forever was something I found unbearable to try and contemplate.

That last line really stood out to me. In a sense the game does have a point. There's no reason to be hateful unless something broke in you then I don't blame you for being the way they are. Sometime we're all dealt with bad cards and our first instinct is to hate back at the world for it but it doesn't always have to be this way. I believe that people can learn to put their indifferent aside and learn to make peace with our demons, I believe there are plenty of good, caring people but we never see them behind all the negativity. However deep down as childish as it sounds. I hope that someday someone can reunited those people into one collaborative community against the negativity in the world. That someday. I could be living among such a charitable and caring community. A thought like that is really comforting for me. As Bertrand Russell once said. "Love is wise and hatred is foolish."

The feeling is mutual haha

I grew up Catholic which pushed me away from religion. When I got to my teens I realized I am a very logical person. I grew very interested in science and the universe. I was convinced there was no afterlife and no God because I thought I knew enough about the universe and as a species we had outgrown religion. I later realized that the only reason I believed that was because of how little I knew about the bible. I believed what the world had told me that science and the bible could not coexist which is far from the truth. When I started to read the bible I was suprised to find out that everything we know about the world doesnt contradict anything the bible tells us. My biggest realization was that it takes much more faith to believe there is no creator. I used to have trouble sleeping I was only sleeping like 3 to 5 hours a day, constantly anxious, and stressed out all the time. My life has improved 100% by accepting Jesus and if anyone has the same issue I encourage you to look for the truth yourself. If you look for it with an honest heart you will find it!

Thanks for covering this unique and philosophical game scaretheatre I had my own existential crisis last year and I’m working on making meaning in my life

I don't usually write YT comments anymore since I tend to turn off my brain in this site haha, but this video does the opposite of that. It's kind of a creepy coincidence that you just happened to upload about this topic during a period of my life in which existential crises plague me daily, and I actually avoided this video until I was more mentally put together. About my thoughts on heaven, it was actually the opposite of yours, where instead of getting excited over the concept of eternal paradise, I dreaded it. I remember this was one of the early reasons to why I started distancing myself from religion, because for some reason child me disliked the concept of living forever. Whenever it be burning in hell or celebrating in the skies, it seemed exhausting. Even now I guess it's created a rift for my feelings on death, because on one hand I am comforted that one day I will be set free of everything, like a dreamless slumber, but on the other hand I am pretty bummed out that everything I've accomplished will eventually be forgotten.

Unfortunately, i can relate to most of what you said about struggling with this type of negative thoughts.. I would recommend reading Dr. Viktor Frankl's books and his concept of logotherapy.. helped me more than any antidepressant...

I never tought about "life after death" when i was younger, my household was not religious and there was never a debate about "Oh youll go to heaven", on best scenarios "someone died, theyre in a better place now". Now for me the idea of dying is terrifying, because since it was never taught to me how good heaven was, i now only believe there is nothing after death, and the idea or a paradise is too good to be true and im scared of just dissapearing into nothingness.

Another great video! and one I can relate to to a certain extend, I live with anxiety of dying without leaving any kind of positive impact in this world. Its terrifying but I like that this game gives you something to think about, I didn't know it existed so thanks for that.

This video made me cry not sure If it's because of the birds who needed help, or I'm just someone who is searching for meaning

I don’t need this game to give me an existential crisis, life already did that on its own

As long as you are around, death isn't, so there's no need to worry about it. You're literally not going to experience it because it's impossible to be dead and know you're dead

I like to imagine death like being under anesthesia. You are conscious one moment, then you are not. The gap between going under and waking up is how death is, but there is no waking up. Something about it is comforting. There is nothing, not even darkness. Edit: god i just realized how edgy that sounded.

Although Nietzsche was a hardcore nihilist, he still found the removal of religious values, purposes to be extremely problematic for society.

Ive been struggling a ton with my mortality lately, especially after being pregnant. I’m very afraid of death (which is ironic because i used to be very suicidal). I was also raised Christian and it actually scared me a lot when I was young. I didn’t understand heaven, how could so so many people be there? Did dead animals go? Plants? Bugs? What decides if something is alive enough to go? Did “bad” dogs go? I believe it really started my anxiety disorder. Hell scared me even more. As a kid I would have really horrid nightmares about satan torturing me, or my mother who was an addict.

"It felt like someone giving you a billion dollars... I was excited to die." Really hit the nail on the head with that one and brought back memories of my own on the subject, thank you.

Oh dang I remember this one! Nice! 9:00 Surprisingly, I had the opposite response at the same age. The concept of infinity is what terrified me. But oblivion also terrified me. Right now I don't have the mental capacity to wrangle with it while the world is on fire.

I'm 8 minutes in and this game kind of reminds me of Thomas was alone. You play as a variety of different shapes that are allegories of people. Each shape has its own ability/personality. The levels are all structured as puzzles and you have to bring all the shapes to the end point. Edit to add: 13:21 reminds me of a song I use to sing when I was younger. It was titled "Live Alone" by Japanese Artist Kokia. "澄み渡る青い空にただ一つ信じたい 愛は地球を救うのかな" (I believe in one thing and that's the clear blue sky I wonder if Love can save the earth).

This is Mario for redditors

When I was a kid, I never actually thought of loving or hating both heaven and hell concept. In fact, as long as I don't know what happens after death, I'm not afraid of what I don't know, and I don't care about the consequence of death. This was my thought on the concept of heaven and hell, my father once wanted me to fear hell, but as long as I'm sentient, I absolutely don't care about the consequence of death, ever since I was introduced to this concept as a kid.

I had a very similar experience when I was younger. I think I was in kindergarden, one of my classmates had suddenly died due to an illness and I was battling with the idea of death, I asked my dad where was my dead classmate and he began telling me about heaven, I think he was trying to help me not be scared because he started saying such silly things like that there was ice cream and baby lions to pet, I remember being soooo thrilled about this awesome place I told him I want to be dead so I can go there. He scolded me for saying that and I was so confused, like if it's such a magical and perfect place why wouldn't I want to go there already hahahaha

Yeah, i have existential Crisis like at least once a day and feel like im wasting my life away, and then the more i think the worse it gets and i get anxious. Is there a god? Is there literally nothing after we die? Is this a simulation? Will i live till humanity finds out what happens after death? Will something or someone tell me and comfort me that there is actually something after death? Is reincarnation a thing maybe? Are the choices i make good or bad? Does it matter at the end? ... And then i just start doing stuff, shrug it off saying "it is what it is" like i wasnt about to have an emotional breakdown thinking about it. So, how's your day been going?

I remember my mom telling me about heaven and how beautiful it is as well. It also made me not afraid to die as a young girl. Now I'm terrified of death! I grew up Christian too.

If nothing matters then don't worry about you ruining things in the long run, enjoy life as much as you want.

If nothing matters, everything matters equally.

I don’t know if this story will interest anyone but it was a pivotal moment in my life. I was raised in a split home. My fathers side severely catholic and my mothers side Christian. I don’t feel like getting into how much that messed with me as a kid but I can tell you that I believed in god. With my soul and heart I believe in god, even as a kid I was excited to die so I can meet him. When I started to get into my late teens I was taking classes about mythology and religion and I slowly started to question my faith, but it scared me due to consequences of this. So I shoved it down. My friends were outcast and we were all in that drug experimental phase. They were all atheist besides one was catholic, we would occasionally smoke weed and get into a discussion/argument about our beliefs and again I started to question it more. Around this time my grandma disowned my brother due to him coming out for being gay. This made me really question gods presence/love. It made me angry but again I stuffed it. Then I stuffed it again and again. Tell one night I tried LSD. I was having this mental/ego breakdown battling the concept of god. Then out of no where I turned to my friend and said “God isn’t real and if he is his love is tainted; it’s not real nor is it genuine. His love has guidelines and conditions. I’ve never felt unconditional love and he never gave that to us. I don’t want him in my life anymore” then I instantly bursted into tears. It was scary and hard for me to admit I lose faith and it was hard for me to realize religion failed me. As an adult now I don’t necessarily believe in god, I think there’s a possibility but I can promise you what I don’t believe in is religion. I had to find unconditional love for myself and it was the hardest thing for me to do and still is.

The thought of dying one day still terrifies me but the truth is that it’s inevitable and there is no point of stressing about something we can’t control. But We can change our perspective about it. The fact that everyone will be gone in 100 years has helped me with taking other peoples opinion of me so seriously and let go of stuff in the past.

Hell is a place we choose through disobedience and rebellion. We can avoid Hell by Repenting from Evil and staying in prayer. We repent because we cut ourselves from things that displease God. And these same things that displease God also either mentally or physically harm you. God does not want you to harm yourself. It can happen with Gluttony, Lust, Drunkenness, Sloth, Gossip and more. All these concepts have throughout history negatively affected the human. The fear of Hell becomes less, the more obedient and self-controlled you are. God bless you!

Death is something I struggle with a lot being my mother and father had passed away before I was 21 and the whole idea of god wasn’t my thing but my mother was so strongly in her faith, mind you she was fine with me being who I am she never judged me for any thing, her faith and passing brought me to wanna spread that faith for her and I feel that gave me faith. I miss her a ton same with my father they shaped me to be who I am today and it’s been nearly 7 years for my dad and 5 for my mother without them and it still seems hard to not wanna just drop the ball on everything and lose it ya know I’m almost 25 now and I’m celebrating 7 years without my father on the 30th of this month its hard to think about for real I remember the first person I told about it all wasn’t sympathetic at all, he was just a dickhead about it and it kinda had me put up this wall from it all and I held those feelings back too long and now learning how to cope has me thriving with the emotions. Remember love those around you and don’t be afraid to hug them you never know when it’s gonna be your last time

Honestly, in Synagogue I was taught that it's more important to live a good life while you're on Earth. No threat of punishment, and since the afterlife is for everyone, it's more an inevitability than a reward to devote your life to. I kind of vibe with the game's third ending, where you work to do good for others' sake. (Tikkun Olam, baybee) (There's also a tiered ranking system for good deeds, based on the effort and intention behind your actions, which always fascinated me as a concept.) TL;DR, this feels like yet another horror thing that hinges on a cultural background I don't have. Like, there's an alarming amount of horror rooted in Christian trauma.

Great video but something I feel that this game doesn't touch upon is how you can have both good endings. If there's an afterlife that people believe in, good things can be done and people can go to heaven. If there isn't an afterlife but people believe in one, you can still do good things and create a better future for the world. Not all the worms have to go to the god nor the hatchlings

More...... More.... MORE......... MOOOOORRREE!

I personally think, it doesn’t matter what way we go heaven or hell. We shouldn’t try to please a god, if we end up just hurting ourselves at the end. We should be ourselves, we should live to the fullest so that way we can pass away with happiness.

I wasn't raised religious (in fact my parents were really against me learning about religion, which was kinda weird), but in a Christian dominant society you can't really escape it. I remember learning about heaven and finding it both a pretty idea but utterly horrifying. I didn't know why it distressed me so much, and while I have ideas about it now, I don't know if I'm applying my current state on my younger self or whether I found the idea of selective reward for a life lived uncomfortable even then.
