I only saw around 3 other chatters notice it, but just after 1:48:00 when Vinny zooms out you can see the wall lights were temporarily off for a second. I thought this was a rendering thing but if you pause it you can see they aren't even off, they're opened like panels with statues peering at you from inside. Such a nice creepy little moment, and (presumably) only occurring because he took a sec to zoom. Stuff like that is a lovely little subtle touch but it makes me wonder what all got missed if details can be this minimal.

I would be scared if it was vinny

I used to work as security in the largest hospital in my province, doing both day and night shifts. And walking through that place genuinely felt like I was playing one of these games. Especially when you go through some of the lesser occupied levels, where there're corridors that sometimes feel like they go on forever. There was a morgue down on those lower levels as well, which did add to the off-putting feeling of being there, especially at like 3-4 am in pitch darkness. Another section of the hospital was entirely emptied out at the time, however it still held all of the radiology equipment, so sometimes I'd have to go in through an utterly massive, completely vacant, multi-story building, wherein some rooms were perfectly lit, and others didn't have working lighting at all and just devolved into these abrupt swaths of complete shadow you had to navigate through, all to do checks on a bunch of rooms labeled with "radioactive" signs everywhere. Of all of the things I had to do working there, just patrolling through these massive, dimly lit, liminal-looking places, is still the thing I remember most. Some of the other guards even admitted that going through the children's hospital levels in the late hours of the night was off-putting to them. TL;DR: These types of liminal-space games feel like they completely emulate the feeling of working my old job.

This DOES invoke the feeling of doing rounds at a hospital! I used to go night shift pharmacy deliveries, had a whole album of "disturbing hospital pics at night". Something about knowing many people died there while you walk in the dark, silent halls was so striking.

1:21:20 replacing "granola bar" with "granyolemar" in my vocabulary from now until forever

This guy fucking gets it ( the developer). They managed to make this feel so fucking unnerving just with the vibes of the environments alone.

39:30 Vinny talking to himself (aka chat) while Mario 64 water level music reverberates through the pool rooms is a vibe I wasn't expecting but its greatly appreciated.

If you showed this to someone in 1988, you'd definitely have them saying it's an art project, some kind of spooky abstract adventure game about the pool, a tech demo, or they'd probably call you a nerd and tell you to go to the mall instead of playing with weird haunted kids toys.

a lot of people point out that this one doesn't have a Liminal Man chasing you which i do appreciate, but i also very much enjoy that it doesn't try to contextualize the place or what's happening. i feel like when a game tries to explain that this is some mysterious facility, they're sending you in to investigate, etc it loses some of the appeal for me personally. i like it when the poolrooms/backrooms are in a vacuum and have no explanation.

Unless I'm mistaken and misremembered/am OotL, Mystery Flesh Pit isn't an ARG. ARGs are interactive and involve things like scavenger-hunt puzzle solving. People actively need to investigate and participate in ARGs. "Real fake" things like MFP are _unfiction,_ but they're not always ARGs.

Imagine a game like this with Online Multiplayer & proximity chat. Large liminal space (maybe some procedural area generation) no monsters, some spooks. Doesn’t have to be the pool rooms just some large maze-like liminal space You and your friends start in different locations and have to find each other & maybe solve some puzzles before finding the exit.

I was thinking about this as well. There's hints to the place being alive, the painting at 1:43:50 and the flesh spine at 1:45:27. In my opinion building itself is more benign, guiding the player along, always allowing a way out (i.e. the floor closing so Vinny could walk to the ladder at 1:46:32). The statues however, feel more malicious as time goes on, always watching the player, (light flicker at 1:48:02, pause to see them pull back the lights to stare) playing chess with other statues, simply mocking the player by getting to places, or blocking off paths entirely.

I've always envisioned the backrooms/poolrooms/liminal space universe as sort of a limbo where you never get hungry or sick or thirsty or even tired. you might be able to get hurt but you wouldn't suffer any actual physical damage, just the amount of pain correlated to the injury

~if you haven't watched yet, don't skip ahead to this. 18:29 I am so, so glad chat managed to see that thing and get Vinnys attention to go back. I know I certainly didn't see it when watching this live, and I desperately wanted to know wtf chat saw. I don't know what it is about it, but that thing he nearly missed had to have been the scariest/creepiest moment in the game for me. Maybe it's because it was the first sign of this place not being completely empty? I also kept expecting a jumpscare, as these games are unfortunately known to do. To have it NOT happen... But goddamn that creeped me tf out, actually had me exclaiming out loud.

So, anyone else not a fan of the question "what's the point of this game"? Because sometimes the "point" is just enjoying the ambiance of a weird situation!

There are no outflows or inlets in any of these pools, that's some stagnant-ass water.

31:09 If I had access to my own personal pool rooms dimension that I can come and go freely, I'd definitely go there nakey. No one else is there, the water isn't cold, it'd be comfy as fuck.

Once in a blue moon, I'll have dreams similar to this, only there's a lot more types of showers, communal toilet rooms where the stalls are like chest high with saloon doors. All kinds of different water-based toilets through time and probably alien toilets too, some water fountains and slides. The pools are almost secondary to the toilet parts but still present. Everything is indoors and the whole thing is like a labyrinth. But it feels a museum almost, like it's a very special place to be and everyonethere treats it like a water park or a temple.

I also have had a few dreams with environments like the poolrooms, but more with an emphasis on strange toilet varieties. Hell, I had one just a couple nights ago where I navigated some dimly-lit school bathroom labyrinth to get to a stall that was at the top of a very wide, short staircase, and inside the stall was a port-o-potty. Lots of weird angles and corners in the labyrinth, and totally not a functional design. I distinctly remember a dream I had maybe 10 years ago where I was in a multi-story mall-like building that had an open atrium with toilets (no stalls, they were just out there) against walls on every floor. I remember a lot of people (myself included) doing some incredible pee gymnastics, like peeing into a toilet on the 5th floor from the 3rd floor or vice versa. I should point out I always have these toilet-focused dreams when I need to pee really bad.

As a kid, I was always unnerved by the pool lights. You know, the lights inside of the pool that actually light it up. I guess they're not as weird now since they're LEDs but the light they used to emit kind of freaked me out. I always felt the same way about flood lights but I can't quite explain why. It's just a weird kind of isolated lighting.

1:42:36 In Roubaix, France, the old city swimming-pool has been transformed into a museum called "La Piscine" (litterally in French "The Swimming-Pool").

It's nice seeing how clean the floors are.. no used bandaids, clumps of hair or any other garbage.. Shoutout to all the janitorial staff who take great care of their facilities. You are cherished by many.

I kinda think that would be an intersting premise for a poolrooms type game. Less focused on the liminal stuff, more focused on being subtly gross

I love liminal space oriented exploring games like this... I wouldn't personally play it, but I enjoy watching Vin play it. And whoever suggested the reverb... Thank you, it really adds a lot :P

I work in a print-shop/warehouse which used to be a multi-functional building where it was a daycare on one end, church in the middle, and offices (which I assume were for the church since that would make the most sense) on the other end. When I first started working there it was a really weird space, because they knocked down a lot of the walls to open up the space for lines and shelves, but because of the high ceilings in the church part they didn't bother taking down a lot of the decor so there is just a big crucifix with a very dusty Jesus hanging on it between 2 stained glass windows on the far wall from the entrance, but it's otherwise a normal warehouse. The former daycare section is where they keep the old machines they hold on to for spare parts, and since that's not used very often they didn't bother to repaint and keep the lights off most of the time. I went in there once on break just to check it out and the contrast of all the half-disassembled industrial printers with the baby blue and bright yellow walls that are occasionally interrupted by a rough spot where they took out a wall was jarring. Particularly there's one wall with a bunch of handprints with names under them and a little jungle painting around it. The office side of the building is still offices, so that's all pretty mundane. It's one of those places that makes sense if you have the explanation, but being alone or having to navigate by flashlight, would make it really spooky.

Would you legally be allowed to take pictures and share them online? Because this all sounds very fascinating.

I wonder how many times Vinny has made a "New (blank) dropped" and the developers that watch go " *Gasp...* he noticed.."

PEEPOOL

Im still amazed vinny plays at 1080p with his rig

My parents once took me to a hotel where there was a passageway leading between indoor and outdoor pools and I thought it was the coolest thing ever at 8 or 9 or 12 or however old I was. Just a small tunnel, but somehow in my imagination it gets stretched out to something like this game.

i think i like tiles and fucked up architecture too much to be unnerved. this is all too interesting and artistically inspiring for me

Despite me loving VR and not really being into the threadmill idea, I think this is probably the actual best application for a threadmill for VR. You naturally do some exercise while slowly, actually walking through these absurd locations. Dread rises and weight lowers, everyone wins

That would actually be awesome, I would totally do that even though I already run a lot lol

I used to know a guy who was skinny as hell and he even managed to break one of those plastic chairs just from trying to move it forward while sitting in it. For that reason alone my fat ass won't go anywhere near them. Also the 'here's a little something to tickle your taint'... does Vinny listen to the band Ghost?

call me a baby but i had to switch to a different vid after seeing the escape hatch guy since i’m tryna go to sleep without nightmares

spoiler that's the only spoop in the game ok there's some weird statues later on but nothing on that level

Nice to see a horror game that runs off of slow-burning vibes instead of standard spooky monster stuff for once. It's a surprisingly under-utilized approach.

Why was this video so unintentionally relaxing? Maybe I'm weird cause I find water relaxing and don't have a fear of drowning but I legit fell asleep to this last night. The only part that was scary to me was the diving parts. But seriously I loved this. It's going in to my playlist to help me go to sleep.

I get why it may be boring however it’s beautiful and so cool!

this is about to be so cozy

I dont know why this made me think of it but we're probably at the point with AI where there could be chatmembers in anyone's stream that are AI and no one would be able to tell the difference for the most part. that's disconcerting

Awe man I am forever watching your old content and catching up ( I started with getting recommended your corruption videos) but your quality is so good I didn’t even notice this video was so recent. You fit the perfect vibe of someone you wanna watch late at night, walking around and just talking; you’re so chill :D

I'd love a game that uses this same concept, but with dream toilets.

This has little to do with this game- but its ambiance reminded me of something. There is a cold war era NATO airfield close to where I live, that is no longer in use. There are many closed off bunkers still on that site, and a steep hill which houses a storage bunker for the jet fuel. The fuel storage facility and the surrounding area have been sanitized, but the buildings remain. The main storage facility/ pumphouse has the same look as this, as it is all white, shiny tiles on the inside. More dusty though. And certainly not as big. Due to the airfilters on top being removed/ stolen, rain could just get in, and there was some green disgusting standing water in some places. (The puddles actually housed a lot of salamanders, they must have fallen in via the filter pipes and survived on mosquito larvae or something.) The main tanks were sealed off, and most of the pumps and plumbing was gone or were at least partly dismantled. There is an acrylic dome on top of the main pumproom, which is the only lightsource inside. The lower parts of the building were completely flooded, and I didn't go too deep anyway- more than likely the air would be dangerously low in oxygen/ high in methane and other waste gases, didn't feel like dying in there..Outside there still is a closed system landline telephone from the 60's. It has long been disconnected. I'd live there if I were offered the chance...

This is the best one yet, perfect ambience! I love that this is a full genere now, every new pool game makes me happy! Its amazing that soo many people are fans of this aesthetic. These pool games are the only thing that genuinely makes me excited for raytracing and hyperrealism.

52:16 the last stall there looked like it continued on around a corner and now we never know. maybe the big secret hide there and now we never know. thanks sauce-o.

23:48 the other playthrough i watched of this also started talking about rich people and owning indoor pools at this part too

I thoroughly enjoyed this stream for whatever reason, it was just really nice vibes and the game is perfect for what it does and tries to do. Just stellar all around

Just came back to say that this has been one of my favourite Vinesauce streams in a long time. Something about the vibe here, Vinny adding reverb to his voice and how the nature of this game invites speculating about ways of surviving there or getting out. I enjoyed it very much. Would love to see more games like this streamed in the future. Liminal and a little unsettling goes hand in hand and feels nice. I'm glad when a game like this avoids the usual scary monsters roaming the hallways trope. It's overdone and gets old quickly.

Ok, the room at 26:13 really made me uncomfortable somehow. Like I don't want to go barefoot on this neither close these walls.
