 What is up, my cranky crew? It's Ethan from CrankGameplays and today, we are in a game called The Complex. Found footage. It is found footage, I guess, Justin sent this to me and he said, you should play this. And I said, okay, September 2nd. I guess just, oh, this is cool. Do I do anything? What is that green light? This is sick looking. Magwave Research Institute. This is so cool. Can I, ooh. What the hell is going on? The Complex. Can I do anything yet? Ooh, please have the entire thing being 4-3. Yes. This is so cool. All the audio distorts when you sprint. This is really well done. Uh-oh. Okay, so what did it say that this place was called? The MagSafe Institute? What did it say? What is this place? Damn, I love the atmosphere of this. I love the glass overlay. Like there's smudges on the lens. The lighting is really good. The sound design is excellent. This is really, really cool, really immersive. Uh-oh. The character is all lethargic and weird. Can I crouch? Oh, I can't. What is this? I wish I could zoom or... I can. Kinda hate the zoom feature. Like it's awesome, but I also hate it. Damn. This shit, real cool. Okay, so let's go under here. And then we'll go over into this weird room. I don't know if we could get here from a different spot, we probably could. The wallpaper here is really unsettling. Oh. Oh, the way that it's out of focus. This is really excellent. Really, really excellent chemical storage. How is that, over there? Thought I saw something. I guess I didn't. I love the distortion of the sound with like the wind as you run. Dude, this is awesome. And it's like not even anything that's actually happened. I have a flashlight, that sucks. That means that I can go in the dark. Freshly frozen foods. There doesn't seem to be anything in here. Why do I sound like a horse? My footsteps are a little... I guess that's why they call it hoof in it. What is this place? See, there was like big science-y hallways and stuff like that. Where are those? Why am I just in like a giant maze? Am I a rat? Am I a rat with hooves? Is that why I sounded like that? Is this a big cheese maze? Where's the cheese? Where the hell is my cheese? Where's that beeping coming from? Excuse me about this beep. And back here isn't great. Ew, really gross. It's really cool how it gets a little more grainy when you go in the dark. Cause like, if you're trying to bump up the ISO on your camera or something, that's what would happen. Cause it would get more grainy. What is that beep coming from? You guys hear the beep, right? I'm not the only one hearing this beep. Oh, it's over here somewhere. Can I go around? Where's this goddamn beep? Who's beeping at me? Truly is a maze. Beeper? Bopper? Boopens. Back behind here. Ah, I found you, you silly, silly hoe. An elevator. An intercom system. Ugh. Wait, those closed. It was not nice. Ooh, we're loading gamers. Oh boy. We uh, we're doing swim lessons around here. What's going on? Oh my clogs. This is really their time to shine. So there's some like weird plants and stuff over here. Uh-oh, somebody's naked. Oh. Oh, this is not good. Oh boy. I love how little my flashlight does. Why am I actively choosing to trudge through the water? This is not ideal. This is not at all ideal. Hello? Anybody out here in the water? Ugh. Can I have a towel? I just, I'm a little wet now. Yeah, my socks are flooded. And the chlorine's gonna mess up the color. Cause my grandmother knit them and she used this wool that she dyed herself and so the chlorine's probably gonna mess it up. I don't imagine it'll ever be the same. Ha ha ha. Well, if this ain't a fucking liminal space. Yucky. Yucky. A bench here. Where are we? Isn't like a mall or something? Directory. It literally is like a mall. These floors are so shiny. What is this? Ugh. Oh, the chair pointing into the corner is super unsettling. Oh, it's a Coke machine. Did I have the proper license for that? Ugh. Ah! That's awful. Ooh. That's, yeah, that's not a great bathroom stall. I wouldn't want to poop in there. Somebody would try and get me for sure. What kind of experiments are they doing in this weird mall? It is literally a mall. Okay. Huh. What is that? Okay. Interesting. Oh, we've got Macy's, Dillard's, JCPenney. They've got it all here, gamers. I've been in a mall that's similar to this. There's a mall in Salem, Massachusetts. It didn't look like this, but if you guys are familiar with Salem Mass, that's where the Salem Witch Trials happened. But they have a mall there that it feels like it was made up of like an elementary school. And everything feels on, it's truly a liminal space. It's very uncomfortable to be in there. Ugh. All right, bye-bye mall. You were not great. All right, on to the next one. Dining hall. Oh. Yeah, that's not great. Why do I want to go around and see if I can get in there from the other side? This is, I don't want to be in the big yellow space again, though it was so confusing. I feel like I'm not supposed to be here this soon. Oh, that one little. What is the audio that's playing? Sounds French. It's going to be big bangs. Oh. So we'll just follow the arrows. I do not feel good about this. I feel like there is something behind every single corner in here. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Don't make us die. Oh, this sucks. Oh. Ooh wee. I don't even know if I'm going the right way at all. Like where were the arrows pointing me? I hear the, I hear the elevator. Which I think was right beyond here. I feel like I'm not going to get there. I feel like I am not going to get to this elevator. God, the feeling of being watched is ever so present. Am I supposed to be retrieving something? Not good. Not good. I don't even know if this is where I'm supposed to go. Is this real outside? God, this flashlight does all. This doesn't feel 35 miles an hour. This is a residential zone, baby. It's 25. One of these pink ass houses. What is happening? Yucky. Close please. Hey. Some nice hardwood floors here. I feel like I'm at someone's office. Is this the back rooms? Is this what this is? Somebody said that during a TikTok where I saw that, like something that looked like that. And they said that it looked like the back rooms. Is this the back rooms? Hello little plant. I hope you get enough sun. Oh, I feel like I'm going through the elevators quick, but I don't want to spend any more time than I need to in these places. God, it's unsettling. This is like the thing. Yeah, these for sure are real stars. We're definitely outside for real. We're definitely outside for real. That's it. That's all that's here. Just this house in the woods. Does not feel right. It does not feel right. Is he gonna tap on my elevator again? Yeah, that's not good. That was fucking cool. That was really, really, really well done. Holy shit. That was so, so, so well done. The overall tone and the feeling of just being watched and the eeriness of it all and the liminal spaces that it drives you through. I kind of want to go back and just explore more and see if you can even find out what that thing was, but I really, really loved that a lot. Like, obviously it's not a full game. I think this is actually considered a demo, I think it said. So if there's more to this game that's coming out, I cannot wait, but that was so well done. Really nailed the tone of what it was going for, for sure, and the feeling. And that was very, very well done. I feel like this kind of way of setting things up would be the perfect, obviously they couldn't probably do it at the time when SCP originally came out, but this is such a good like SCP type feel and obviously that's sort of what it's going for with the experiments and stuff like that, but I just wanted to know more. That was so cool. Damn. Well, I will leave the link in the description for this game if you want to check it out. But really, really well done. That was awesome. Sweet. Hope you enjoyed as well, that was creepy as hell, and I'll see you tomorrow. Let me know what you think. Ah! What is up my crazy crew? Thanks for watching guys!
