sponsoring anyway where were we new game

like any good ethereal story it starts

in the waiting room of nowhere where we

have to answer our cordless telephone

Hello yo it's me Joel I'm going on a

trip with Mike here to join oh I'm smart

enough to know how to answer this no

great I'll pick you up tomorrow okay

well great talk and here we have the

symbolic representation of our pregnant

wife or maybe we're just married to a

pregnant mannequin I don't know the

important thing is that oh God what is

happening did you feel it no no I did

not wonderful isn't it it sure is uh-oh

Sarah hold on there's a diarama

unfolding behind me and then we get to

see the uncomfortable truth that wolves

now have a taste for mannequin Blood

also why do you have such realistic feet

was that really necessary that's okay

I'll take care of this by feeding it my

face which thankfully knocks us back

into reality where the first thing we

get to see is our dreamy friend's face

oh I see you just Charmed me into coming

on this trip just keep the radio on I'll

tell you what to do don't listen to

anything you say got it now our friend

wants us to climb over these Vines over

here cuz you know the game is trying to

teach us how to play but why do that

when we can just try to go up this

actual slippery slope here goes nothing

okay it is pretty slippery but I think

we you're going the wrong way yeah Joel

we'll see about that but I've learned

that if you combine a bunch of jumping

and crouching at the same time you can

kind of dry hump your way up this

mountain side we did it yeah you have

fun down there I'm going to go over here

and just do I don't know whatever well I

was going to say we should take our new

found ability and climb this mountain

here but something tells me we won't be

doing that on the account that there's a

big split in the earth which let's see

how far this goes and I get the sense

that we could actually just meet up with

the tutorial since it's right there but

why do that when we can walk on the very

edge of the Earth like this you never

know maybe we'll find some exciting

Secrets strike that maybe not we've

reached the corner of the earth and if

we jump down here let's see what happens

well I'm sure we all could have seen

that coming don't you hate it when you

go on a nice winter trip and it ends up

like this or you just find yourself

falling to the ends of the Earth such a

drag on my weekend skiing plans how far

can this go anyway okay we're at 10,000

m a little bit

after oh the game crashed well now we

know don't worry though there's more

stuff we can look at like this

incredibly steep drop off let's see if

we can't find our way over to this

unfortunately we can't dry our away all

the way up this mountain so we'll just

have to go over here and just climb it

like a normal person but then nothing's

going to stop us from getting over here

hey Joel don't worry about me I think I

found my own way home uh-oh it's getting

dark what's happening now this looks

like a dead end but it turns out if you

shove yourself into this snow Tada

secret hiding place where there's still

all the space for hiding and wo what is

this what's in here Treasures surely if

they didn't want me snooping around here

it wouldn't glow like that right okay

let's see if we can shimmy off the edge

and find a way in ah fiddles sticks

we'll get it on the next go hey Joel

it's me again oh wow you look a little

different did the frostbite take out

your eyebrows oh no they're still there

you just have to walk up to see him

anyway where was I you need to go back

doubtful very doubtful okay take two

let's see if we can do this come on let

me

in well still don't know what that thing

was but I don't know if I can even get

in instead let's just wander around and

see if we can find anything else that's

interesting like this confusion I just

came across hey it's our dreamy

companion also why are you just standing

out here and what are we looking at what

do you see Joel I just want you to be

the first to know first chance I get I'm

peeing in your water bottle and I took a

look around in the area around here and

obviously there's nothing but I am glad

that for whatever reason he just stands

out here I guess that's better than

where he was as expected though there's

not that much out here except for this

spot over here which the closer you get

the more it becomes a flashbang but if

you kind of just persevere past it it

goes away wait a minute a pathway I

think we found ourselves back in the

tutorial well shall we looks like this

is where we're supposed to go and there

we go Quest finished and this part's a

little uneventful but I'll walk you

through it first we learn we have a

canteen which we then proceed to dump

all over our left arm great it's empty

yeah what have you done then we go over

to This Little Pond and fill it up

before wouldn't you know someone's

approaching and it's just Joel's so

let's welcome them by dumping water on

them too then he puts his bag down which

it allows us to access so we're going to

take literally everything before getting

ready to make a campfire which goodness

knows I want to build right on top of

his face but the game won't let me so

we'll just go ahead and do uh something

normal and you can tell that Joel over

there is really hungry because if you go

over here and start the fire the first

thing he says is me and then if you go

ahead and extinguish it and then light

it up again me he's just being

considerate he doesn't want you to

forget meat thanks eyebrows I'll get

right on that and then as we let the

meat cook we hear something

exciting and then I look up to get a

good look and what do I see but Joel

hiding behind some stalagmites are you

telling me that there's a bear all go

investigate let's see well I don't know

I'm not seeing a bear around here Joel

what are you doing buddy too tight in

here find a different spot you know I

have a better idea instead of hiding how

about I go ahead and just look at this

campfire and wait for the time to run

out I mean if the time runs out maybe

the bear won't show up okay there we go

the fire is out hey Joel I think it's

going to be okay the fire's out I don't

think the bear is coming Joel are you

listening are you okay you come out here

right now now what the game wants me to

do is crawl into this little hidey hole

and then at that point I think the bear

comes in but I do that when we can do

something else so let's see we'll jump

up on this climb onto the backside

instead of go inside here and then let's

see can we just Escape that sure would

be nice wouldn't it easy easy okay and

we're up here sorry Joel we're getting

out of here okay let's see what does the

outside of this place look like besides

blinding okay so we'll just kind of

wander back over to the front or

wherever this is unfortunately as you'd

expect there's not really many places

for me to go unless I can just walk over

here which I cannot ah well this is ill

faded all right let's try this again

Joel is coming in and this time I'm

going to try and block him oh he just

passed right through me and is now

sitting incorrectly wow I am really

impressed with how you can do squats you

must work out well whatever bye Joel I'm

leaving you again but sadly I'm pretty

sure there's nowhere for us to go I've

been trying to figure out a way through

all these rocks but it's a lot of dead

ends that caus me to fall to my death

but because we're in the tutorial still

it just respawns me back in the cave oh

where am I now oh I guess I found my way

back cuz I'm back here at the beginning

well looks like we can make the campfire

here so we're going to do that 192 M

from where we're supposed to ah done and

done okay let's Light It Up can star

fires in bad weather oh well this is

embarrassing well that's unfortunate but

I think I know a place where we can

build it okay let's see if this works it

doesn't seem to want to let us put it on

the structure but we can't tuck it away

off to the side where I feel like

there's less wind fingers crossed still

can't start it well fiddle sticks well

the hell with this at least I have my

sleeping bag that I can for some reason

place out here well good night and that

what happens next I probably need to

kind of explain because we were supposed

to go to sleep in that bear cave after

encountering a bear but we skipped all

that but the story's continuing anyway

as if we did so I guess we're running

from a bear and then we lost our stuff

and wait a minute I think I know where

our gear is it's right up there and

doing a quick glance all around me it's

pretty obvious the game wants me to go

this way especially cuz there's a sign

and everything o do some hot springs

which are a natural source of heat yeah

that's probably important but you know

what's more important seeing if if we

can't climb up all this crap to get our

stuff so I think I have a pretty good

plan for how we're going to get this we

have to find a way to get all the way up

there by crawling through the Mist to

all these rocks over here the first

part's actually really easy because

there's this fallen tree right here so

that's already getting us some of the

way now all we need to do is find our

way across all of this and I don't think

that should be that hard and then we'll

go around this thing and climb on top

right here and then I get the sense that

to get up here we can probably take this

little outcropping right here so we'll

just jump over to the edge like this see

if we can grab onto this little spot

right here okay we got on that and now

just another jump and jump another

obstacle down okay I feel like we're

almost there the only thing we need to

do is cross this so let's see I think we

can probably just drop down here all

right and now let's jump ah we made it

well this was shockingly easy give me

your backpack I promise I'll never lose

you again wait did I get my stuff back

well it turns out no I didn't get any of

my stuff back but I did get my backpack

so I guess that's good now as mentioned

the game wants me to go all the way over

there because Beyond those barriers is a

hot springs that it wants us to look at

but why do that when we can explore all

this I mean we did get up here fair and

square besides why can't we use this one

there's a Hot Springs right here why go

122 M when we can go one and also look

at this thing can my soft human flesh

handle this ah so relaxing okay let's

see what else is around here uh-oh it's

finally happened we found an adversary

that's okay I came prepared be gone with

the oh I don't think he liked that very

much that's okay it looks like he's

giving up and going back to to his perch

which we will disturb once again now I

realize it looks like I'm the bad guy

here oh really that's all it took let's

just go with it sleeping oh my goodness

and what's this a bridge well that could

look better I don't know it seems okay

overall I mean surely I can just go out

here and oh no well I guess this is to

be expected I bet though we can get

around this all the same same way we do

anything else climb on things we're

probably not supposed to yeah I'm sure

this will work just fine easy easy good

thing I have a crazy sense of balance oh

but apparently not that good maybe I

need to go along the left side yeah this

seems better a lot more stable and look

at this look how much progress we're

making we're really ah crap we're going

to do this I'm not giving up oh here we

go it's happening okay and we're across

let's see what do we have over here so

far I'm not seeing a lot of anything

actually I'm starting to get this weird

feeling that maybe I'm not supposed to

be over here something about this tree

sticking out of the ground it just has

me wondering oh and we can just run

right through this and now if feels like

I'm on an alien planet endless fields

and colors and just when I think I've

hit the end it's just the beginning

leading to an even more complex series

of things I'm clipping through I guess

we're just going to need to see how far

out we can run now still going now 12200

M away but you know there's always more

stuff for us to go under oh well this is

new all of the ground textures are

giving way to streaks of Madness and

everything's just a bunch of rocks did

we finally hit the end oh this looks

like a slippery

slope okay well now we know what happens

when we go out that far this Bridge

though I think we'll just wait maybe see

if something comes of it later I did

find and pick up a lot of rocks though

and there's a lot of wolves out here so

I've been going around taking care of

them all and then when it comes at me I

just hit it in the Paw and they take an

air quote nap and so that's pretty much

what I've been doing grabbing everything

not nailed down including stuff like

this snow mountain garlic which

excitingly we can immediately eat M Down

the Hatch and it gives us plus five to

hunger I mean you can see down here that

we don't actually have hunger unlocked

yet oh you might be wondering what this

weird brain thing is it's for some kind

of Sanity system you don't need to worry

about it I don't suspect it's going to

alter our Gameplay at all I think this

one's happy do you see how it's flapping

its paws before it completely expires

and occasionally we even see a deer

which I can also hit with rocks and it

just goes like no

stop oh well I guess it probably doesn't

care anymore and then I just wandered

around for a while we do come across

random things like this extraordinarily

helpful sign and there's also things

like this which are probably a lot more

interesting if we had a reason to be up

here but there's not a lot we can do

with these cuz the game still wants us

to go to a hot spring so fine we'll

finally do that and I'm not going to let

any of these wolves stop me face my

rock oh my God what was that did that

wolf just try to do a spin kick

surviving in Winter sure is rough and

here we are at long last at the correct

Hot Springs yes go ahead and warm up and

ignore the fact that you've Got That

Rock in your hands uh-oh wolves now the

game wants me to run for my life but why

would I do that when I have the power of

rocks on my side watch out I'm so scared

of this pack of wolves whatever will I

do clearly I need to fight for my life

hopefully I don't succumb to their

fierceness and there we go crisis

averted and now even though all the

wolves are resting the game still says

run for your life surely what it means

is run for your life to the most

comfortable Hot Springs you can imagine

ah yes I would like to hold to drink M

scolding hot water does the body good

and isn't destroying my health at all

well just like before I guess there's no

harm in looking around but like before

most of it is just crap that I can't do

anything with well it looks like we're

supposed to use this path to run for our

lives and go over this tree branch but I

couldn't help but notice it looks a

little broken on the end so instead

we're going to take this larger thicker

one I mean why wouldn't we take this one

if it's here I mean they all seem to go

to the same place which is this cabin

right here hello hello is anybody home

I'm just going to do a quick spray and

prey to make sure okay seems secure well

it looks like a psychopath lives here

because who sleeps on a bare mattress

when you could be sleeping on a nice

blank at a rock see there we go that's

much better the bed of our dreams anyway

the weirdo that lives here also has toy

trains I'll be taking that and dumping

that outside only serious survivalists

live here now my God another train some

people are just obsessed anyway let's

see what else we have here what the hell

ah a leg stabilizer why is it glowing is

this a quest item apparently because now

the quest is trying to tell me to use it

okay if you say so used to treat ankle

sprains which if I check out my status

first off I'm not just looking good good

I'm looking MMA fighter ready and

discounting my trauma being at 100% I'm

not seeing any kind of sprained ankle so

I'm going to have to assume that was

supposed to happen during my running

from the Wolves so we'll just use this

anyway much better yes much better okay

excellent let's get out of here don't be

stupid you're too exhausted to go out oh

am I all right so be it I guess the game

wants me to finish out the tutorial

which involves starting a fire and now

the game wants us to go to sleep I

thought you'd never ask well good night

time to sleep the sleep of

Kings terrible night what do you mean

terrible night we slept just fine I'll

freeze to death if I don't dry my

clothes quickly oh I see my clothes are

soaked for some reason and the game

wants me to put them on this drying line

well if you say so we'll go ahead and

just hang all of our stuff to dry even

some of these things that aren't even

wet there we go everything's looking

great and even though we're not wearing

anything but our headlamp it's time to

go outside oh my goodness daytime at

last it only took us like 16 minutes

into the video to get here wow wouldn't

you know it's actually really pretty out

here I would have never guessed

considering all the nightmares we've

seen anyway the next objective is to

retrieve our gear which I have kind of

an idea as to what I think is about to

happen there you are yes there it is the

spot where my backpack should be but it

isn't cuz I already have it and because

of that there's nothing we can do to

clear this marker well that'll teach me

I guess I did notice in the brightness

of day I can see that there's this weird

looking Rock here which if we jump on

over to it we can actually attach a rope

to it and it turns out we can make rope

by grabbing some of this tall all grass

and once we have enough of it we can

start making some rope so let's give it

a

shot oh well that was easy well down we

go oh yeah I bet that feels really good

on our hands just a constant rope burn

also we've really got to talk about your

nails if you survive this okay and here

we are and down here we find some fresh

batteries of course as well as a

walkie-talkie hello Hello Joel it's me

whatever my name is can you hear me hey

dumbass you're in a Chasm of course Joel

can't hear you who is this this is you

recognize your own voice now turn this

thing off you're running the battery

down jeez fine what a jerk and right

over here looks like we have a cave that

we can scrape our naked body on and it

contains some ever fashionable human

remains and look they too have a leg

stabilizer that was probably the cause

of death I knew I shouldn't have used

that thing and there's a convenient rope

out and as we hop out of the cave we get

to see our sensual legs okay and now

that we're out here in the open maybe

now this thing will work still basically

no reception huh well should we try to

go up even higher like where that thing

is let let's do it as far as I know it

shouldn't be that hard and of course

there's going to be obstacles along the

way but nothing we can't handle whoops I

missed ah oh okay we got them never mind

everything's fine I just now noticed by

the way that the reason I have all these

empty circles I think you're supposed to

unlock all that stuff back in the cave

with Joel because normally you start a

fire for warmth and then eat something

because you're hungry but since I didn't

do those things that's probably why I

can walk around naked in the cold and

also my guy never seems hungry I'm so

happy about that and on my way there I

did notice we have an obstacle all of

this is ice which obviously for the

common person this would be a problem

where if I try to just run up it it just

slides me back down but luckily we

already know how to deal with this time

to crouch up and down and gyate our way

all the way up there and made it it's so

close now and sure we could try it

around all these broken ones but where's

the fun in that let's wait till we get

to the big one I appreciate that the

game laid out a tree trunk for me to

walk over even though I'm just going to

take this perfectly good dock and make

my guy walk through the freezing cold

water it's probably good for him way his

bare feet are so numb he's not even

going to feel the pain he probably feels

walking on these train tracks I'm going

to assume that we should walk to the

right because that's where the antenna

is but hey let's check out whatever this

is and see if it can help us out

Direction sign for demo Harbor and

swinia Village well I don't know what

any of that means but I'm sure it has

absolutely nothing to do with the game

being in Early Access okay it looks like

this is end of the line which is okay

because we're here and it looks like

there is stuff on the other side of this

so obviously we should try to get in

there okay let's see to get up there I

bet all we have to do is find a nice

spot where we can just kind of crawl our

way up yep there we go okay let's see if

we can find our way in here now so far

it seems locked up tight what if I just

try to fall and swoop in okay I guess

not but more on that in a second because

I found this and now I have questions

what internation is this cage for is it

for this wolf right here is this wolf

friendly hello oh not friendly not

friendly oh God hey I can climb on top

of this thing maybe it means the wolf

can't get to me wait a minute movable

box okay I see now that I'm technically

activating the Box not only can I move

it while I'm on top of it but in

addition to that I think I can get the

wolf involved come here buddy see that's

the spirit whoa whoa whoa uh-oh no stop

that stop what are you doing stop oh god

well this got interesting quick didn't

it thank God it gets bored so quick and

wanders off I love the fact that I can

just move the Box while I'm on top of it

all I have to do is pick a spot hit use

and now I can just walk and move the box

at the same time I mean it is easier to

just push it from the side but it

doesn't feel nearly besides being on top

protects me from wolves and also I

realized that what we're probably

supposed to do is use that box to get up

here to where this eyeball is and also

this shovel but honestly I don't see the

point we don't have a shovel and we

can't really do anything with this space

right now so I guess that just leaves me

the wolf in this box right wo wo wo wo

stop stop

stop well this was certainly one way to

get around this wall except for the

dying part okay hold on I'm getting

ideas now so let's take this box and

let's take it with us you can see that

the antenna we need to get to is
