1:46:00 And that's how you do a Lovecraftian/eldritch horror story! Where no matter how triumphant it seems the human protagonist is, there are still forces beyond their comprehension achieving their own unknown goals.

Always makes me sad, when there's an absolutely brilliant game, that didn't get enough attention in it's day. Eternal Darkness is a hidden gem, that still stands out in many ways, even 20 years later, because there's nothing quite like it.I wouldn't call it a personal favourite, but it's still a game that has a very special place in my heart

I've noticed that you have two types of videos, lengthy series retrospectives and lengthy single game retrospectives. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy both styles of videos you make. Your writing voice lends itself to both styles and I thoroughly enjoy each of them.
I know I'll watch anything you make! You're doing wonderfully 💜

This game is so memorable, even though it doesn't have the best core mechanics, there's something in Eternal Darkness that I have never felt in another game. I don't really play many games anymore but I would drop everything for a successor or even a remake. Also the voice acting by Maximillian in the enemies section of the Tome is incredible

This game didn’t have as much of the “dude buy this game!” thing at the time. It was more like “I played this game and…you need to borrow it. Trust me!”. From my experience at the time, I think it clicked with people who were already passing around books and tapes, so one copy covered an entire friend group.

I remember being completely blown away by the real ending to Eternal Darkness, I wasn’t expecting it at all. I’m probably rare in this opinion, but I really enjoyed the linearity of the game. Yes, the lack of meaningful changes to levels does get old, it wasn’t enough to drain my 14 year old enjoyment. I was just playing for love of the game, and was rewarded with the true ending. I imagined what Eternal Darkness 2 could be, and I’m still wondering 20 years later.

I was honestly completely shocked at what became of silicon knights. I had no idea that there was even an eternal darkness spiritual successor on kickstarter.
I'm also surprised at how no other developer has tried implementing a similar sanity sort of mechanic into their game. Only one that comes to mind is Amnesia but that is more like, bugs covering the screen and that's about it.
Great video!

I'm pretty sure I'll never forget my greatest sanity effect that hit me playing it when I was a kid. I rented a lot of games and didn't want to buy a bunch of memory cards so instead I bought a thick $40 boy with a ton of space. So when the game told me it was deleting all memory card data I literally jumped out of my bean bag chair and yelled NO!

Mantarock pulling an I'm taking you with me is hilarious. Mantarock may not survive because its starving to death but they did screw over every other cosmic being as well. Saved humanity entirely out of "You didn't win!" levels of spite.
