The Callisto Protocol

WEBVTT

00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.660
Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Other Castle.

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.120
The Other Castle, I'm Andrea.

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:22.100
And my name is Tom.

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:27.500
And here we cover video games, and we cover them from start to finish with the plot, lore and more.

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:34.440
And that includes the development, the creation, the writing, the acting, the performing, all the way up to the actual plot of the game.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.500
If this is your first time, you can check us out over our website, theothercastlepodcast.com.

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:40.520

Get connected.

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:57.640
But for now, we are gonna get into the plot, lore and more of The Callisto Protocol.

00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:59.060
The Callisto Protocol.

00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:00.500
That's a relatively new game.

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:01.280
It is.

00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:05.540
And while you say it's new, it has roots in a much deeper, older game.

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.560
And as a prerequisite to this, I would suggest listening to season four, episode seven of this very show where we cover Dead Space.

00:01:12.820 --> 00:01:14.020
Dead Space, wonderful.

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.600
So it's a sister sequel to that.

00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:19.640
This is a complete sister spiritual sequel to the legacy of Dead Space.

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.660
And that core lineage really begins with the creator, Glen Schofield.

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:34.300
Glen Schofield is largely regarded in the industry as one of the most innovative game creators in the game because of his work on 2008 Dead Space and then later The Call of Duty franchise.

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:35.160
Oh, that's right.

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.200
He did do The Call of Duties.

00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:47.660
So in 2008, Dead Space was widely just praised critically and commercially became a complete cult classic for horror fans and mature gamers because it's super fucking scary and very fucking cool.

00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:48.680
I mean, they had to remake it.

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:49.220
It was so good.

00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:49.760
Yeah.

00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:53.920
Following Dead Space in 2008, Schofield was on a roll.

00:01:54.060 --> 00:02:00.100
In 2009, he was named one of the hot 100 game developers in Edge Magazine, which sounds really cool.

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:00.740
Awesome.

00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:01.260
Good for him.

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:12.660
And then the franchise of Dead Space would continue on where Glenn would end up under the Activision umbrella where he oversaw Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, and Call of Duty World War II.

00:02:12.820 --> 00:02:14.080
I didn't actually play any of those games.

00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:14.900
Now that I think about it.

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:24.660
Well, I know you're familiar with the impact of at least one of these because in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, you get the Press F to Pay Respects meme.

00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:25.780
Oh, that's where that comes from?

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:26.380
Yes.

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.200
Okay, so that comes from Glen Schofield.

00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:30.720
Which is like, it's one of the most iconic things.

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:31.740
Oh, super iconic.

00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:36.300
But you know, through doing all this warshit, he missed the spooky, scary space stuff.

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:38.500
He's a huge horror fan.

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.460
Like if you see any of his artwork outside of the video game industry, it's a lot of monsters and shit.

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:44.280
It's really cool.

00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:45.580
Yeah, it's very consistent.

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:46.640
Very much so.

00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:57.700
So he's just like, man, I'm having a good time knocking these big ass games out, but I want to do something where I can like push the envelope and figure things out on my own rather than working within this box, right?

00:02:57.920 --> 00:02:59.060
Cut some body parts off.

00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.600
Yeah.

00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:05.560
So by June of 2019, Schofield had left Activision and joined a production studio called Crafton.

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.640
He was hired based on just his incredibly impressive resume and ability to work on it all angles of a game.

00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:16.800
Like he came up as an artist that kind of grew into other pieces to get into directing and writing.

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:17.860
He really worked his way up.

00:03:17.880 --> 00:03:20.220
So he knows a lot about the process, start to finish.

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:28.240
And he of course has that legendary history of having gotten that award from Sony for delivering Dead Space two weeks early, fully debugged.

00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:28.560
Right.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:31.420
That letter is framed in his house, I'm sure.

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:39.760
So within the Crafton umbrella, he was named the CEO of a very specific team within Crafton called Striking Distance Studios.

00:03:40.660 --> 00:03:47.980
In December of 2020, during the game awards, they announced the Striking Distance Studio's first title, The Callisto Protocol.

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:53.100
Now, originally, The Callisto Protocol was pitched to be a part of the PUBG universe.

00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:54.160
Really?

00:03:54.220 --> 00:03:59.400
Yeah, that's Player's Unknown Battleground, which is primarily a Battle Royale style.

00:03:59.420 --> 00:04:00.200
I think it's 100.

00:04:00.220 --> 00:04:02.400
I mean, it's one of the OG ones anyway.

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.560
Right, people take it very seriously.

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.880
But The Callisto Protocol did break off to be its own property throughout the process of creation.

00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:23.040
The game was considered a PUBG game between December of 2020 through May of 2022, which feels like a long time to have this game be a part of this specific universe.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.300
That sounds like the majority of the production process.

00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:28.120
At least the marketing cycle after it was announced.

00:04:28.140 --> 00:04:28.600
Yeah.

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:32.840
And yeah, certainly the production process as they're building up before they announce it and stuff.

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.360
But in May of 2022, Glen's Go Field went on Twitter and was like, it's its own thing now.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.120
For context, PUBG is this cash cow battle royale game that's owned by Crafton.

00:04:45.140 --> 00:04:48.340
So it kind of makes sense that it's in the same world.

00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:52.740
Although ironically, that's kind of what Go Field left the Call of Duty teams to do.

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:54.640
As we look at this narrative, it's fine.

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:55.340
It's all fine.

00:04:57.020 --> 00:04:57.680
I saw that.

00:04:57.700 --> 00:05:00.500
I don't know if anyone else saw that in the moment, but it bummed me out.

00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:06.980
One thing about PUBG is that, because it's a battle royale game, they are focused on getting the lone survivor.

00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:09.740
That's like the core basis of battle royale games.

00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:12.460
It's like kill everyone to be the last man standing.

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:15.460
PUBG specifically is very gritty.

00:05:15.460 --> 00:05:16.320
It's gnarly.

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:23.300
And again, it's like that violent take on being the last man standing, where Fortnite can be a little more fun of like, ha, I got you, you're out, you know?

00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:24.240
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:35.180
Anyway, Scoville just said that of the 150 employees in Team Striking Distance Studios, he had worked with about 25 to 30 of them during the run of Dead Space.

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:36.500
Oh, that's awesome.

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:44.140
And there is also one that was around from the behind the scenes of Dead Space, Nicole, his daughter.

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.240
Oh, right.

00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:48.820
Nicole Scofield is an environmental artist on The Callisto Protocol.

00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:49.660
Really?

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:50.780
Isn't that sweet?

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.340
So she grew up to go work with dad.

00:05:52.580 --> 00:05:59.480
And to drop some lore, the girlfriend of Isaac Clark is named Nicole in Dead Space as an homage to his daughter.

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:01.580
So to have her come back around.

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:03.080
Yeah, that's really great.

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.740
Isn't that, that made me happy.

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.160
We have a few stories of kids going on to work on their dad's games.

00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:09.660
That's right, that came up in Spyro.

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:10.560
I forgot about that.

00:06:10.580 --> 00:06:10.800
Yeah.

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:16.900
And sticking with one of the more innovative elements of Dead Space at the time, there is no HUD at all.

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:17.580
Again.

00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:24.260
Yeah, the player is immediately immersed behind our hero who sports a health bar on the back of their neck, just like Dead Space.

00:06:24.260 --> 00:06:26.500
Yeah, that sounds very familiar to anybody who's played Dead Space.

00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:35.620
There's also a slew of different sized evolutions of monsters, and there might be a secret evolution called, who's to say?

00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:42.160
This is also why I'm just like, have Dead Space in mind as we walk forward down this road.

00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:45.680
The fact that it came out so close to the remake of Dead Space 2.

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:47.560
Oh, I know.

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:56.320
The Callisto Protocol came out on December 2nd, 2022, and the Dead Space remake came out on January 27th, 2023.

00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.580
Oh my God, weeks apart.

00:06:58.720 --> 00:06:59.540
Absolutely.

00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:08.380
Seven months after The Callisto Protocol was announced, the remake of Dead Space was announced by Motive Studio, which is obviously not the same studio.

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:10.280
That was under the EA umbrella.

00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:11.680
It was a whole different group.

00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:15.660
And Glenn Schofield has said, not involved.

00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:17.380
Not even a little bit.

00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:18.160
Not even a little bit.

00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:21.800
They have added some side missions, I believe.

00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:24.320
I'm not sure if they're actually connected to the main mission.

00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:26.360
It just seemed like it was a side mission, from what I saw.

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:41.400
And they hired Gunner Wright, who voiced Isaac Clarke in Dead Space 2 and 3, to come back and reprise his role for one in the remake, to kind of keep it in world, but still an evolution of what was originally established in 2008, which is really cool.

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:46.440
But yeah, Glenn Schofield was working very hard on The Callisto Protocol during all of this.

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.820
He was also very kind about it, I think.

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:56.780
He did take a stance of gratitude, saying publicly, to all of you who worked on the original, thank you for your contributions to an amazing game.

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:59.740
It has withstood the test of time, obviously.

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:04.260
And to Motive, thank you for your care in remaking the game faithfully.

00:08:04.380 --> 00:08:05.360
Congratulations.

00:08:05.820 --> 00:08:07.080
That's very graceful of him.

00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:10.240
I think it is, because you never know what goes on behind the scenes.

00:08:10.260 --> 00:08:17.260
You don't know what was extended, what may or may not have been said, but publicly he took a stance of being appreciative and saying like, this is an honor.

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:17.800
Thank you.

00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:19.200
Yeah, the rest of you took a job.

00:08:19.320 --> 00:08:20.380
I totally respect that.

00:08:22.140 --> 00:08:24.060
He's like, get the bag, whatever.

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:34.000
So one thing that The Callisto Protocol did have a leg up on the Dead Space remake was some of the crossover talent from Hollywood brightening up the scenes.

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.720
The Callisto Protocol stars Josh Duhamel of All Fucking People.

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:39.680
Really?

00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:42.760
Yeah, he was Captain Lennox in the Transformers movies.

00:08:42.780 --> 00:08:43.240
Yeah.

00:08:43.380 --> 00:08:45.800
He's Coach Cole in the new Mighty Ducks.

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.880
Hell yeah, he is.

00:08:46.900 --> 00:08:52.240
I'm sorry, I'm probably like one of 12 people that are enjoying that Mighty Ducks reboot on Disney Plus right now.

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.120
It's weirdly good.

00:08:53.160 --> 00:08:53.680
I like it.

00:08:54.400 --> 00:08:54.820
You know.

00:08:54.900 --> 00:08:55.800
And he was great in it.

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:57.120
Not for me, but good for you.

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:57.480
Yeah.

00:08:57.640 --> 00:08:59.780
No, I thought he was wonderful in it as like the new coach.

00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:04.440
If you're in the Romcoms, he's goddamn Todd Hamilton from When to Date with Todd Hamilton.

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.020
He also did these crazy ass Taco Bell commercials.

00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:09.800
Have you seen these?

00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:10.540
No.

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:15.900
He plays a conspiracy theorist about like the burger people coming to infiltrate your homes.

00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:18.360
How do I not remember those Taco Bell commercials?

00:09:18.380 --> 00:09:18.860
Holy shit.

00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:19.840
They're not that old.

00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:21.060
They're fucking weird.

00:09:21.520 --> 00:09:24.040
I'll find them and drop them in the discord so we could laugh about them.

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.400
Okay.

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:25.480
Now, Mr.

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:26.580
Duhamel, Mr.

00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:29.200
X Fergie plays Jacob.

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:34.640
My favorite thing is that he was married to Fergie for 10 years, and he still loves her so much.

00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:35.800
He's like, she's my best friend.

00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:37.320
We co-parent, we trust each other.

00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:38.380
Like, good for you.

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:42.940
So Josh Duhamel plays Jacob Lee, who is a pilot in The Callisto Protocol.

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.900
And this is gonna be the first of, we're gonna do like, let's do a Dead Space sit up every time this comes up.

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.640
We're gonna turn this into a nice positive thing outside of the drinking game we usually have in this show.

00:09:53.780 --> 00:09:54.620
Yeah, let's do that.

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:58.480
Okay, so anytime Dead Space kinda just shows up out of nowhere, pop a squat.

00:09:59.320 --> 00:09:59.880
Do a sit up.

00:09:59.900 --> 00:10:00.540
Do a sit up.

00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:06.060
Jacob is named Jacob, because Jacob in the Bible is the son of Isaac.

00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:06.800
That's true.

00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:09.980
The protagonist of Dead Space is named Isaac.

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.600
Oh shit, that's good.

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.700
As in the forefather to Jacob.

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:20.120
And people have asked Gonskoeville about this, and he's always given like a wink and a nod of like, very good, that's clever.

00:10:20.140 --> 00:10:21.480
I'm glad you made that connection.

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:23.240
You know, so we're like, oh, okay, I see you.

00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:24.760
Good for him.

00:10:25.400 --> 00:10:29.140
Other top build talent is someone I have a personal crush on.

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:30.860
Kieran Fukuhara.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.920
Oh my God.

00:10:32.060 --> 00:10:32.600
Really?

00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:33.980
I love her so much.

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:34.660
You really do.

00:10:34.780 --> 00:10:36.200
She only plays bad bitches.

00:10:36.260 --> 00:10:38.640
She's in The Boys, she's the woman who doesn't speak.

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:39.220
Yeah.

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.400
I think they have called her Kimiko and she's dating Frenchie.

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:43.720
She's the coolest bitch.

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.740
Oh, love her on that.

00:10:44.900 --> 00:10:53.540
Also in Bullet Train, which I believe is still on Netflix right now, she plays the cute little train cart girl, the only person who doesn't get fucked up in the movie.

00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:58.800
Her eyes are better actors than some whole ass bodies.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.780
Seriously though.

00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:02.380
She is proof that there is good in the world.

00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:07.960
So these two, along with obviously the rest of the cast, recorded their parts with full mocap.

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:11.380
Karen Fukahara said it was a super weird experience for her.

00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:13.740
Like I believe this was probably her first mocap job.

00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:15.340
She's usually just a screen performer.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:15.780
Yeah.

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.520
And she was like, it felt like I had to learn how to walk again.

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:21.780
Well, I had that whole fucking suit on me.

00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:26.240
You hear that from so many people that do this kind of acting, especially in video games.

00:11:26.260 --> 00:11:26.660
Yeah.

00:11:26.760 --> 00:11:38.260
Especially the people like the Roger Clarks and stuff like that, where they're just like, you didn't realize what acting was until you had to put one of those things on and really like notice every movement your body makes.

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:44.400
Fucking mocap and video game performers are so like violently underrated.

00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:44.980
Entirely.

00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:48.620
Their mindset of having to perform in this specific way is wild.

00:11:48.780 --> 00:11:52.420
Yeah, it's stage performers and video game performers have to think the same way.

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:53.180
Yeah.

00:11:53.760 --> 00:12:04.620
Now Striking Distance actually built in an in-office mocap studio for everyone to come through so they could grab anything they needed and have people in-house to be like, okay, to that point, you moved your knee a little weird.

00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:05.760
Fucking run that shit again.

00:12:05.780 --> 00:12:06.600
Oh wow.

00:12:07.540 --> 00:12:12.480
One incredible element that stood out is how detailed that mocap and rendering of the performers is.

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:17.860
Like you're not just looking at Jacob, a pilot, you're looking at a whole ass just straight up Josh Duhamel.

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:24.920
The pores in his face are visible, and you can see sweat form and bead down his brow.

00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:26.240
It's fucking beautiful.

00:12:26.260 --> 00:12:29.200
It's an absolute marvel of what we can do with technology now.

00:12:29.420 --> 00:12:30.360
Oh, that's so great.

00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:36.180
The devs worked closely with the art team to see their environments and get really into the scene.

00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:39.560
Now the scenes were built gory as fuck too.

00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:46.480
Just like the original intent with Dead Space, Glenn Scofield said he wanted to create one of the scariest games of all time.

00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:51.140
And he already did it once, like nobody was needing you to come back and do it again.

00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:55.540
It's that thing of when you get the high score and you're like the only person that can take my crown is me.

00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:55.860
Yeah.

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.800
Let me see if I can though.

00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:04.960
He did specifically say that he wanted The Callisto Protocol to be one of the scariest games on the current console generation.

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:07.500
So we can kind of give him a break there, I guess.

00:13:07.860 --> 00:13:11.220
Yeah, I guess that makes sense to just want to do it for this generation of gamers.

00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:18.240
This was only furthered by having coding access to haptic feedback on the controllers, so you really get into it.

00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:21.060
And I played on a PS5.

00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:22.820
It totally works.

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:23.820
It felt so good.

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:31.640
It's things where when you punch someone, you can feel it reverberate through your hand a little, and you're like, hell yeah, that was fucking me.

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.400
Fuck you.

00:13:32.640 --> 00:13:38.120
It blows my mind to see the transition of the rumbling controller over the years.

00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:43.700
It went from this add-on that you needed to purchase separately on the Nintendo 64.

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:44.820
Really?

00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:45.400
Yeah.

00:13:45.420 --> 00:13:46.620
The Rumble Pack, is that what it's called?

00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:48.100
The Rumble Pack, yeah, it was called the Rumble Pack.

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.520
And, oh my goodness, that whole thing, all it did was just shake it a little bit.

00:13:52.540 --> 00:13:53.360
It just rattled it.

00:13:53.860 --> 00:14:00.600
And then, you know, it's been kind of standard ever since to have a controller that shakes and rattles and stuff, but the haptic that is going on now?

00:14:01.400 --> 00:14:03.240
Holy shit, this is a whole new level.

00:14:03.260 --> 00:14:12.560
I mean, I was still a little blown away that a game from 10 years ago, 2013's Grand Theft Auto V, has cell phone features that genuinely feel like your phone's going off in your hand.

00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:13.400
That's true too.

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:16.780
That still kind of fucks me up, and that's from 10 years ago.

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:19.000
I had a ball playing this shit.

00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:20.280
This shit came out recently.

00:14:20.640 --> 00:14:24.520
Yeah, I'm sure they incorporated into the jump scares and all that stuff.

00:14:24.540 --> 00:14:25.540
Oh, it was fucking terrible.

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:26.000
I loved it.

00:14:27.140 --> 00:14:33.460
The team was out there talking about how much love went into this game and also reflecting on Glenn Schofield's incredible career, right?

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.740
Because this is really a culmination of a lot of games coming together.

00:14:37.520 --> 00:14:44.420
In May of 2022, the Academy of Art University awarded him an honorary doctorate in arts and video games.

00:14:44.420 --> 00:14:45.700
Holy shit, good for him.

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:51.280
That's the same school Nicole Schofield attended to learn how to create art for The Callisto Protocol.

00:14:51.380 --> 00:14:52.360
Oh my goodness.

00:14:52.380 --> 00:14:54.980
This just all keeps coming back around for him and his daughter.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.640
Are you gonna cry?

00:14:57.400 --> 00:15:00.540
I think it's very tender and it feels very like it comes all around.

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:03.240
So from now on, we will only refer to this man as Dr.

00:15:03.260 --> 00:15:03.680
Schofield.

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:09.160
A few months after being crowned a doctor, in September of 2022, Dr.

00:15:09.180 --> 00:15:11.860
Glenn Schofield tweeted, Hell yeah, gaming is hard as fuck.

00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:16.040
We work six, seven days a week, 12, 15 hour days, but this is gaming.

00:15:16.260 --> 00:15:17.600
You do it cause you love it.

00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:18.820
Oh no.

00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:20.640
And the internet went, What?

00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:23.400
Oh shit, dude.

00:15:23.420 --> 00:15:29.900
Didn't you learn anything from the Housers when they opened their dumb mouths during Red Dead Redemption 2?

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:31.840
Oh, it just...

00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:34.600
And it was unprompted, which was wild.

00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:35.280
Yeah.

00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.240
Like he just kind of went, Hey, man, I haven't seen my family in weeks.

00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:40.820
I love video games.

00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.800
And he went, Wait, what?

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.760
That's not healthy.

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.880
So he like hardcore as fuck admits to crunch culture, like with his chest.

00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:55.080
And then following that, the team scrambled and he deleted the tweet and issued an apology being like, I'm sorry.

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:59.240
I'm very passionate and our team has boundaries, but crunch is wrong.

00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:00.440
I'm sorry.

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.600
Oh my God.

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:03.380
So it was like not really an apology.

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:06.500
I don't know that he wrote every word of his own volition.

00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.700
I don't know that a PR manager said, give me your fucking password.

00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:13.620
You're not allowed to have internet anymore.

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:16.560
I don't know if he was like, you know what?

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:17.260
I was wrong.

00:16:17.280 --> 00:16:18.340
That was kind of fucked up.

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.280
I need to be more reflective and support positive change in this culture that I contribute to.

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:22.840
Yeah.

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.800
Let's just hope for the best in this situation.

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.180
Yeah.

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.260
It's between that spectrum, but we can hope a certain way.

00:16:29.140 --> 00:16:32.720
That whole thing didn't really slow anything down though, because you know, they're crunching.

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.380
Yeah, right.

00:16:33.660 --> 00:16:37.180
And marketing came to a head in the last month leading up to the game's release.

00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:43.080
The team released a prequel podcast called The Callisto Protocol Helix Station.

00:16:43.660 --> 00:16:49.020
It was a narrative podcast with Gwendolyn Christie, who's Captain Phasma in the later Star Wars years.

00:16:49.180 --> 00:16:49.560
Oh, okay.

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:50.940
She's in Game of Thrones as well.

00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:55.360
And Michael Ironside, who's in fucking everything.

00:16:55.380 --> 00:16:55.800
Really?

00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.580
I looked just for, if you can't place him, he's agent Sam Fisher in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.940
I know that doesn't help with your face, but maybe you get the reference.

00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:10.080
There's like 280 IMDB credits on his page.

00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:11.440
You've seen him.

00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.040
Character actor in everything.

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.600
Yes.

00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:19.080
And the podcast was six episodes that included encounters with strange creatures.

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:19.680
Ooh.

00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:20.720
Spooky.

00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:25.400
You have so many things that are linking back to other episodes that you've done just this season.

00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:31.420
There was a podcast that came out with a quarry that was also six episodes and had like in-game talent and stuff.

00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:31.940
If you're right.

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:37.260
And I was thinking again with Spyro with the voice actors and how the second one had a different voice actor.

00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:42.320
And then in the remake, they're like, all right, so we're going to use the new voice actor and replace the old one and that kind of stuff.

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:44.400
I know, I know, it's great.

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.940
You know, time is a flat circle more than anything.

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:51.080
Nothing is really special.

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:51.540
Right.

00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:55.660
Now, when the game came out, it was like, woo, okay.

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.300
Admittedly, it was not perfect on release.

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:09.680
So there were complaints about it crashing, bugs, black screen of death, and even there were areas where people were like, the AI is so fucking aggressive and violent.

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:11.060
This has to be wrong.

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:11.980
Really?

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.680
Yeah, which is fucking wild saying like, okay, did you just tell on yourself?

00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:16.420
Like, whatever.

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:31.080
I remember you were really disappointed when these reports were coming out, just because of how the first dead space game came out so early, and it was like debugged, and he just was, you know, known for delivering a quality product on release, and then didn't.

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.320
And then didn't.

00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:34.600
Yeah, and I was rooting for this.

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:39.860
I want to see Glenn Scofield do really well, because I think he is a good creator in the game space.

00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:46.740
I think he brings a lot of value to the table, and I think he constantly works hard to push gaming to be better.

00:18:47.520 --> 00:18:53.320
Honestly, the remake of Dead Space probably pressured them to get that release date, especially though.

00:18:53.620 --> 00:18:54.700
Just to be the first one out.

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.020
To get the first one out the door and stuff like that.

00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:59.640
And it might have just resulted in, you know, what we saw.

00:19:00.040 --> 00:19:01.520
I feel you.

00:19:01.580 --> 00:19:06.300
And to everyone's credit, these mostly across the board have been fixed.

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:07.560
Okay, and that was quick then.

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:09.800
Yeah, they were like, fuck, we're going back in.

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:13.360
This is not cyberpunk level of wait two years to fix everything.

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:15.960
Yeah, wait for the sequel for the first one to be playable.

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:18.660
No, this is not a Phantom Liberty situation.

00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.020
They did act very quickly.

00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:20.800
They patched things.

00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:22.400
They were like, shit, are bad.

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.380
This is a $60, $70 game.

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:25.560
We're so sorry.

00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.580
Yeah, we were hoping you wouldn't notice, but I guess you did, so.

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:36.940
Yeah, it just, it sucks for the launch story to come out, be so excited, and then have it not work, which is why you never pre-order.

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:38.180
Never fucking pre-order.

00:19:38.260 --> 00:19:41.720
I was trying to find a way to drop that in, so I'm glad it came up organically.

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.020
Yeah.

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:54.680
Now, maybe it was the timing with Dead Space on the way, but for the most part, people said it was okay, but it didn't capture the magic that Dead Space brought in 2008, which kind of fucking sucks to hear.

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.580
It does, but is that because their expectations were to have the same game?

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:05.460
Yeah, I mean, a lot of the marketing from the team was based on Glenn Schofield, and the biggest fucking title he has is Dead Space.

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:12.440
And you go, well, this is another spooky space game, and it's horror, and it's supposed to be like this game we all loved, and it's not.

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.240
Okay.

00:20:13.260 --> 00:20:19.880
And he's like, well, wait six fucking weeks, and that game will be out over there, but I'm trying to create something new.

00:20:20.040 --> 00:20:22.160
And they went, but it's not Dead Space.

00:20:22.260 --> 00:20:23.740
You know, and I think that sucks.

00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:28.580
It's like when you see a performer who's pigeonholed in a role, and you're like, I want you to have fun.

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.380
Yeah, right.

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.240
Come on, man.

00:20:30.260 --> 00:20:34.100
I just, I feel for this team a lot.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:44.420
The studio had originally hoped to move 5 million copies of the game, but as of the end of June of 2023, they've only moved about 2 million copies.

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.180
Oh, that's not a terrible number.

00:20:47.520 --> 00:20:51.600
It's not, for a first game out of a studio, it's not bad at all.

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:54.740
But it's not the 5 million you were expecting.

00:20:55.020 --> 00:20:59.120
Yeah, and I think the team just set their sights really high because they were standing on Dr.

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:12.560
Glenn Schofield's shoulders, but they needed to adjust their expectations because as a gamer, in that cycle of time, you're like, I can play Callisto Protocol, which is new, or I can play Dead Space, which is remade, remastered, fucking beautiful from the ground up.

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.740
I know I like it.

00:21:13.760 --> 00:21:14.560
And I know I like it.

00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:16.300
Yeah, the timing sucked.

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.400
Yeah.

00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:24.720
It's like when Hollywood puts out the same two movies within like a month of each other, and you're like, why are you like this?

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.220
Armageddon and Deep Impact.

00:21:26.780 --> 00:21:29.680
Just Friends and Friends with Benefits, I think is one.

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.440
Yeah, that kind of shit.

00:21:31.780 --> 00:21:37.760
In early of August, 2023, Striking Distance Studio laid off 32 full-time employees.

00:21:38.060 --> 00:21:39.460
Oh, hate to hear it.

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.260
I know.

00:21:40.280 --> 00:21:43.160
It just keeps happening in gaming right now, it sucks.

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:45.500
But it's happening across all industries, honestly.

00:21:45.760 --> 00:21:48.960
Yeah, but there is a lot of talent floating around in gaming, especially.

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:51.280
And I hope this comment really dates this episode.

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:51.880
Yeah.

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.940
On September 20th, 2023, Bloomberg reported that Dr.

00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:05.880
Glenn Schofield, along with the Striking Distance COO and CFO, voluntarily left the team to pursue new opportunities.

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:06.940
Oh, damn.

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:14.860
With this departure, the sitting Chief Development Officer, who worked on the team for Dead Space 2, will step in as CEO.

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.680
Okay.

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:17.540
And then here we are.

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:26.800
That leads us up to today, with the game out for just under a year, but heads rolling for it for missing, and nearly impossibly high mark, frankly.

00:22:26.820 --> 00:22:27.280
Yeah.

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:53.420
For a brand new IP that was attached and then unattached, but still has some gentle ties, it's wild, and it's a game that was lost in the shuffle of its spiritual origin materials being remade for current consoles, along with its first outing, and it's released way too far into the holiday season to be gifted, frankly, being like so late in December, and there was a lot that could have helped this game that didn't happen.

00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:57.180
And also the Dead Space remake was really well-received.

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.460
It was, people really enjoyed it.

00:23:00.340 --> 00:23:10.000
But right now, I believe it is still on PlayStation Plus as of October of 2023, so if you want to check it out, you can, and if you are still hesitant, just stick around.

00:23:10.020 --> 00:23:12.040
I'll tell you every single thing that happens in the game.

00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:12.660
Yeah, right?

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:13.320
Spoilers.

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.920
Now, let me ask ahead of time.

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.900
Did you enjoy it?

00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:17.300
I loved this game.

00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:18.080
You loved it.

00:23:18.300 --> 00:23:23.520
I had a great fucking time, and as soon as I finished it, I was tempted to open New Game Plus.

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:24.160
Wow.

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:28.640
Genuinely, and I haven't had that since the Spider-Man Miles Morales games.

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:34.180
Yeah, and like, you are our horror queen on the show, but you also aren't that big into horror games.

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:38.680
I don't, I love the lore in classic horror.

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:39.800
We were just talking about this the other day.

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:42.240
Like, I don't love gore for the sake of gore.

00:23:42.280 --> 00:23:42.600
Right.

00:23:42.620 --> 00:23:44.120
Like, I'm not a hostile girly.

00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:50.060
I like Scream, I like Final Destination, I like slasheries, I like things that aren't too paranormal.

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.480
Right.

00:23:50.820 --> 00:23:51.680
I don't like ghosts.

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.500
I don't believe in them.

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:54.940
I'm like, nah, he dead.

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.580
He don't give a shit.

00:23:55.600 --> 00:23:56.520
He's like a flower now.

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.120
Who gives a fuck?

00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:58.220
Oxenfree notwithstanding.

00:23:58.300 --> 00:24:02.920
Yeah, Oxenfree is fun, but between Oxenfree and this, I would absolutely play this again.

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.820
The combat was fun.

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:12.100
And anyway, everything aside, this game was still nominated for a Dice Award for Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction.

00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:13.360
Excellent.

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:14.040
Good job.

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:20.180
The game's timing had everything stacked against it, and the fatigue may have kicked in before the race even began.

00:24:20.760 --> 00:24:21.300
But you know what?

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:22.700
This game was goddamn fun.

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:24.320
And we're gonna get into it today.

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.940
This is The Callisto Protocol.

00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:34.300
Here in the year 2320, Callisto is home to a prison called Black Iron.

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.520
And if you're a little bit of a nerd, Black Iron Prison is a nod to a Philip K.

00:24:38.540 --> 00:24:41.420
Dick book Valles, which came out in 1981.

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.400
Yep, not even remotely on my radar.

00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:45.900
I'm just throwing it out there.

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:52.900
Callisto is one of the moons of Jupiter and is known as a dead moon, perhaps because it's the coldest one.

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:59.400
There was some speculation at some time that Callisto could be habitable because there was evidence of water.

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:03.300
Near Callisto is another of Jupiter's moons, Europa.

00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:06.900
On Europa, we see a busy city street at night.

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:10.540
There's shops, there's restaurants, there's a Margaritaville.

00:25:13.540 --> 00:25:17.040
And the guy from Fort Solace is there just having a cocktail finally.

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:18.560
He's earned it.

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:22.940
We see a young woman cautiously navigate a street littered with bodies.

00:25:23.760 --> 00:25:30.860
Countless bodies are strewn across the streets with their faces and skin distorted as if they were poisoned, even at Margaritaville.

00:25:31.020 --> 00:25:31.500
Jesus.

00:25:31.860 --> 00:25:36.640
The street is quieted by death and the camera lands on a small glowing purple box.

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:42.840
The camera moves from a cinematic to security footage camera of the same woman walking through the bodies.

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:44.980
Someone is watching.

00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:49.400
The view moves back to cinematic and the woman is attacked by a man.

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:55.320
His veins are blue and dark against his pale skin and his eyes are changing color to stark white.

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:58.840
There's blood pouring from his eyes and his mouth.

00:25:59.380 --> 00:26:02.420
He screams and attacks her aggressively, but the woman knocks him back.

00:26:03.260 --> 00:26:09.620
Our perspective moves back to security camera footage and that footage is revealed to be on a news report on the local news.

00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:15.660
It shows the woman's face from the security cam footage and reveal she is Dani Nakamura.

00:26:15.780 --> 00:26:20.040
Okay, so they can actually identify people with their security camera footage in 2330?

00:26:20.260 --> 00:26:21.360
Yeah, it takes that long.

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:21.660
Okay.

00:26:22.300 --> 00:26:26.620
In 300 years, maybe we'll be able to get some decent security cam footage.

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:28.060
But don't hold your breath.

00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:28.640
This is fiction.

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:29.080
Right.

00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:33.260
Dani Nakamura is played by actual angel-on-earth Karen Fukuhara.

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:38.340
Dani is 20 and she is 5'2, so she's not necessarily a big dog in the fight.

00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:41.980
But what she lacks in brawn, she makes up for in balls.

00:26:42.620 --> 00:26:46.900
She's a Europa local who is involved with a rebellion group called The Outer Way.

00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:49.700
The Outer Way is kind of like anonymous.

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:52.680
They're out here in secret, but they pull a lot of strings.

00:26:53.520 --> 00:27:00.000
They've been targeting a massive corporation that runs privatized prisons lately, called the United Jupiter Company.

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.440
Fuck, those are still around?

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:01.980
Yeah.

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.260
They're not going away.

00:27:04.280 --> 00:27:08.940
The UJC sucks, and The Outer Way wants to expose them.

00:27:09.260 --> 00:27:09.760
Hell yeah.

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:17.940
The news footage pulls back to showcase their coverage of The Outer Way and what just happened on Europa, whatever fucking massacre just occurred.

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.620
Yeah.

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:25.700
The anchor goes on to describe the scene as a terrorist attack executed by The Outer Way, which she deems a terrorist group.

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.280
Uh-oh.

00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:29.800
They name Dani as the notorious leader of this group.

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:30.680
Oh shit.

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.360
She's 5'2, how the fuck did she kill 30 people?

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:33.780
Right.

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:43.140
The security footage of Dani's face is moved to split screen, and the other half of the TV shows the footage of the small glowing purple box.

00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:50.580
We pull out further and we're in the cockpit of a spacecraft and the news is on the TV being watched by Max.

00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:54.540
Max is a pilot and he's in the cockpit of the ship with Jacob.

00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:56.360
You know, Josh Duhamel.

00:27:56.580 --> 00:27:56.880
Right.

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.300
Josh Duhamel tells him to turn off the news.

00:27:59.340 --> 00:28:00.420
We have a job to do.

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:02.280
We have to save the Transformers.

00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:05.380
I haven't seen the Transformers movies.

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:09.980
Now, something I want to ask, is this a full on cut scene during all this?

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.340
Yes.

00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:13.360
So that's something that they didn't do in Dead Space with cut scenes.

00:28:13.580 --> 00:28:14.080
You're right.

00:28:14.100 --> 00:28:21.500
In Dead Space, there's like a part of a cut scene that seamlessly blends in a game play, and then you're just over the shoulder the whole fucking time.

00:28:21.560 --> 00:28:26.260
And even in cut scenes, you can move around and like walk back and forth and change your perspective.

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.460
Here there are absolutely cut scenes.

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.460
Okay, so no Bioshot on this one, guys.

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:31.680
No, no, sit up, nothing.

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.340
Max and Jacob are space couriers who are leaving Callisto to go to Europa.

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:44.160
They've been working together moving medical supplies back and forth for a while now, and it's been incredibly lucrative for them.

00:28:44.560 --> 00:28:51.940
Like this is actually their last run, and after today, when that final wire goes through, neither of them will ever have to work again.

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:53.000
One last job.

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:53.960
Exactly.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:00.620
Max is anxious, and he's like, this whole thing's been so weird, and the security on those runs is ridiculous.

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.160
Like, man, this sucks.

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:09.220
Jacob's like, yeah, well, Callisto is a prison moon, so security's gonna be tight, like, because of the crimes.

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.760
Max is like, yeah, but what about the outer way?

00:29:12.780 --> 00:29:14.020
Like, that's fucking crazy.

00:29:14.020 --> 00:29:21.200
And Jacob goes, that's a whole separate ass event that has nothing to do with us postmating shit across the galaxy.

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.540
Right.

00:29:21.800 --> 00:29:22.400
Get over it.

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:30.440
Max gets an alert of something weird going on in the cargo hold, and while it's probably nothing, we send Jacob out to go check up on it.

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:35.040
As the player, we take control of Jacob Lee, our space postmate.

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:43.960
He's a tall and confident Josh Duhamel, just the kind of confidence you get from being 50 years old and having spent 20% of that time married to Fergie.

00:29:45.520 --> 00:29:47.080
I did so much fucking research.

00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:55.600
We get the first section title card, Cargo.

00:29:55.760 --> 00:30:04.080
And before you ask, I wasn't going to, but now that you said it, the chapter titles do not lead into a puzzle to solve.

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:05.120
That's too bad.

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:07.080
I mean, especially coming from Glenn Schofield.

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:14.920
You almost expect it, but it's like, does every Ken Levine game have to have a fucking like mind control twist?

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:15.560
Right.

00:30:16.460 --> 00:30:18.580
Sometimes you can just let a thing be a thing.

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:23.100
His daughter's like, Dad, I suffered my entire life because of Nicole in Dead Space.

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:23.700
Can we not?

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:25.420
Suffered.

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:27.740
Nicole in Dead Space put Nicole through school.

00:30:27.760 --> 00:30:32.520
I sound like such a dad right now.

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:38.880
We are in the first of eight game sections for what it's worth, but that is also not a clue.

00:30:38.900 --> 00:30:40.400
I'm just saying that so you can follow along.

00:30:41.540 --> 00:30:47.460
Jacob heads to the back of the ship to check on the alert that they got and starts making his way through like all the corridors.

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:48.860
This is a huge fucking ship.

00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:53.540
His ship is dark and spooky, even though we're not even in the scary part of the game.

00:30:54.840 --> 00:30:58.480
He discovers and relays to Max that they are indeed in trouble.

00:30:59.260 --> 00:31:06.480
Way in the back of the ship, there's alarms going off, and it looks like a small explosion happened through some fogs of like clouds of smoke and shit.

00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:13.940
There's patches of fires going off all around what looks like an entry port area, which I've heard is bad for spaceships.

00:31:15.800 --> 00:31:17.780
Jacob tells Max we've been boarded.

00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:20.500
Max goes, Oh, my God, is it the Outer Way?

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:30.640
Jacob is like, I mean, maybe, yeah, actually, the Outer Way has been hitting a lot of UJC stations, including like Callisto is one of those.

00:31:31.100 --> 00:31:33.660
We're probably in the crosshairs, so this kind of sucks.

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:39.240
Max is like, Well, that fucking does suck head back here and we will figure it out.

00:31:39.340 --> 00:31:39.680
Right.

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.240
Jacob heads back and runs into some of the Outer Way members.

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:47.780
He's hiding behind cargo boxes, but he hears a woman's voice say to search everything.

00:31:47.860 --> 00:31:49.000
It's got to be here somewhere.

00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:57.560
There's a few groups of Outer Way warriors on the ship, and they're all strapped with guns and helmets, like straight up battle year because they expected a fight.

00:31:58.360 --> 00:32:03.360
As Jacob gets closer to the cockpit, some of the Outer Way spot Jacob and run for him.

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.740
Jacob is able to yell out at Max, and he's like, Oh, they're coming.

00:32:06.760 --> 00:32:07.540
Close the bridge.

00:32:07.560 --> 00:32:08.220
Fuck my life.

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:08.780
Right.

00:32:09.100 --> 00:32:13.700
Jacob gets past an airlock door with Max, like they're both in the cockpit behind an airlock.

00:32:13.760 --> 00:32:18.660
And we see our old friend, Dani Nakamura, yelling from the other side to open up the door.

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:23.060
She's got a gun in her hand, and she's slamming it up against the fucking screen.

00:32:23.080 --> 00:32:23.640
Oh, shit.

00:32:24.300 --> 00:32:27.160
Max is like, Hey, Jacob, what are we going to do?

00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:29.420
And Jacob says, Whatever I have to.

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.840
He's so fucking cool off the bat.

00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:39.300
Jacob then opens the back of the ship open, revealing that they've already taken off and are in space right now.

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:40.000
Oh, shit.

00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:47.340
So as the back of the spaceship opens up, space as an entity starts to suck everything out of the ship.

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.200
Oh, damn.

00:32:48.260 --> 00:32:49.880
Including the outer way members.

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:50.800
Oh, shit.

00:32:51.280 --> 00:33:02.340
Dani knocks on the door one more time with her gun, and then as she's being sucked up and out into space, she grabs onto a hand railing and shoots at the door at Jacob.

00:33:02.860 --> 00:33:06.900
Naturally, she misses him, but she does manage to puncture the airlock door.

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.680
Oh, damn.

00:33:08.260 --> 00:33:11.580
This bitch had a split second and made the coolest decision.

00:33:11.580 --> 00:33:11.940
Right.

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:18.900
As space starts to creep into the cockpit of the ship, Max immediately starts losing control.

00:33:19.340 --> 00:33:27.300
Jacob crawls and climbs his way up towards the cockpit so Max and he can take over and figure out how to fly this fucking thing.

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.760
Yeah.

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:35.600
As Jacob slides into his pilot's chair, he's met with a wall of fire coming up at him through the ship's windshield.

00:33:35.820 --> 00:33:36.360
Jesus.

00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:39.340
Jacob hops on comms and yells, Mayday, mayday.

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.820
The ship isn't too far from Callisto and he just left.

00:33:42.840 --> 00:33:44.860
So he's like, I'm swinging around.

00:33:45.020 --> 00:33:46.280
I'm crashing right now.

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:49.760
He's like, I just give me emergency clearance and we're good.

00:33:50.040 --> 00:33:52.280
And Callisto is like, absolutely not.

00:33:53.080 --> 00:33:53.560
Negative.

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.440
Do not crash on our planet.

00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:02.660
Because they're in the cockpit, Jacob is out right in the front of the ship and the planet of Callisto is hurling towards Jacob.

00:34:03.060 --> 00:34:03.720
It's dark.

00:34:03.860 --> 00:34:04.420
It's gray.

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:08.780
And it's a dead moon, so it's covered in frost and ice.

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.520
He's like, we don't have this option.

00:34:11.220 --> 00:34:15.940
Aside from these frost and ice areas, there are structures of the prison and they're massive.

00:34:16.200 --> 00:34:16.960
They're dark.

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:18.160
They're poorly lit.

00:34:18.180 --> 00:34:19.360
It's fucking terrifying.

00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:21.960
And Callisto again is like, negative.

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.380
You are not authorized for reentry.

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:26.640
And Jacob is like, I have no choice.

00:34:26.660 --> 00:34:27.200
Yeah.

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:28.540
My ship is crashing.

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:34.180
Jacob hangs on to the controls for as long as he can, but the inevitable happens.

00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:37.740
The ship crashes hard into rocky snow.

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:41.880
This knocks Jacob out, but at least doesn't kill him somehow.

00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:42.620
Yeah.

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:50.180
Sometime later, he wakes up in his cockpit with it like sparking and steaming with smoke, all this shit.

00:34:51.060 --> 00:34:55.300
Jacob gasps for air in his empty lungs and then goes over to check on Max.

00:34:55.900 --> 00:35:06.880
As he turns Max's body over to face him, we see that the fire had eaten half of Max and one side of his face is completely burned through and off.

00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:07.960
Shit.

00:35:08.040 --> 00:35:11.180
It's fully Two-Face from The Dark Knight.

00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:12.200
Oh, no.

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:19.760
Through his swinging, unattached jaw, Max says, Jacob, why didn't you listen?

00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.360
And then he dies in his arms.

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.200
Oh, I was hoping it was like a horror moment of like him picturing him talking.

00:35:28.220 --> 00:35:30.000
No, he actually talked at the end.

00:35:30.020 --> 00:35:34.120
You thought it was like a final destination, like ghost moment of like, oh, it's trauma.

00:35:34.140 --> 00:35:37.540
No, that was his last beating heart moment.

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:38.760
Oh, fuck.

00:35:39.200 --> 00:35:46.140
Jacob is double traumatized now, and he looks forward, and he's like, oh, my God, what's happening over there?

00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:50.480
The door to the cockpit is being cut open from the outside.

00:35:50.660 --> 00:35:51.400
What the hell?

00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:52.700
You just crashed here.

00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:53.880
Uh-oh.

00:35:54.420 --> 00:35:59.860
So the door is cut off and then thrown aside by an eight-foot tall security unit robot.

00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:02.980
It's big and it looks like an evil iron giant.

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.340
It's like if Iron Giant went through a goth phase.

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:15.220
The security unit comes in, detects one life force in the area, which is Jacob because Max is dead as fuck, and continues a search for survivors.

00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:21.840
Then just a regular ass man comes in and introduces himself as Black Iron Security.

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.620
So he obviously works for the prison.

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.280
He gives Jacob a face mask because we're on a dead ice moon of space.

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.760
And he's like, all right, let's get you out of here.

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:35.100
Very like, just structured of like, all right, we're doing this, let's fucking go.

00:36:36.040 --> 00:36:41.000
This guy is Captain Leon Ferris, and he's a senior security man for Black Iron.

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:49.200
Captain Ferris checks his shit and sees that Jacob was running things out of Callisto's hangar and makes a comment about not getting a lot of freelancers out here.

00:36:50.200 --> 00:36:58.580
Jacob is exhausted and sad and fully fucking traumatized after a massive crash and seeing his fucking co-worker die.

00:36:58.580 --> 00:36:58.980
Right.

00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.900
And he's like, I'm just doing my job, man.

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:09.760
Jacob starts telling Ferris that it was the first ship he's ever lost, which really adds to this too, and that they were just leaving and then they were boarded by...

00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.740
And as Jacob steps out of the wreckage, we see a security unit robot holding Dani by the arm.

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:16.620
Oh shit.

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:23.400
She's telling it to let go of her, and she looks so tiny next to this giant, evil iron giant-ass fucking robot.

00:37:23.740 --> 00:37:26.480
I figured she was going to survive somehow because of Karen Fukuhara.

00:37:26.580 --> 00:37:27.000
Avi.

00:37:27.020 --> 00:37:30.200
But like also, how the fuck did she survive that shit?

00:37:30.260 --> 00:37:31.380
Well, she was hanging on.

00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.600
Maybe she stayed in the front part near the cockpit and held on through the crash.

00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:36.400
Oh my goodness.

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:36.680
I don't know.

00:37:36.700 --> 00:37:39.900
I mean, to not be strapped in during the crash and to survive it.

00:37:40.200 --> 00:37:40.960
Oh, ridiculous.

00:37:41.100 --> 00:37:42.680
Max was strapped in and still died.

00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:43.080
Right.

00:37:43.420 --> 00:37:45.400
Jacob sees Dani and goes, Her!

00:37:45.620 --> 00:37:46.820
She's the one who...

00:37:47.220 --> 00:37:50.240
And then Captain Ferris tells him to cool it and calm down.

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:53.440
Don't ever tell someone who's upset to calm down.

00:37:53.520 --> 00:37:53.860
Right.

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.920
Never a good idea.

00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:56.560
That's a bad thing.

00:37:57.100 --> 00:37:57.900
It's just mean.

00:37:58.060 --> 00:37:58.420
It is.

00:37:58.420 --> 00:37:59.620
It's mean-spirited.

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:02.300
Ferris is like, You're doing your job.

00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:03.260
Let me do mine.

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:04.140
Calm down.

00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:08.780
Ferris then gets a message on his earpiece from a supervisor.

00:38:09.100 --> 00:38:10.180
And he's like, Yes, sir.

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:10.780
Yes, sir.

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:12.120
There's a pause.

00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:18.300
And then Ferris gets some updated instructions, looks over at Jacob and says, Whatever you say.

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.240
Ferris tells the security robot to take him too, and points at Jacob.

00:38:22.700 --> 00:38:28.600
The security robot grabs Jacob and escorts him alongside Dani's security robot and Captain Ferris.

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.860
Jacob is put off and is like, I can fucking walk.

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.780
I don't need the robot.

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:34.460
What's happening?

00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:34.920
Yeah.

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:42.320
The group walks towards the prison campus, and the camera tilts up, and we see the title card, The Callisto Protocol.

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:52.860
In a new scene, we reunite with Jacob, who's sitting in a transport vehicle across from Dani, and we get a new section of the game called Outbreak.

00:38:53.920 --> 00:39:00.120
The cabin of the vehicle opens up, and Captain Ferris comes in, and he's being a prick just off the bat immediately.

00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:07.140
He barks at both Dani and Jacob that inmates cannot speak unless spoken to, which is just shut the fuck up.

00:39:07.580 --> 00:39:08.480
Are we inmates?

00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:12.000
Jacob, to your point, is like, hey man, I'm a pilot.

00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:14.100
I drive airplanes and spaceships.

00:39:14.460 --> 00:39:17.140
I'm not an inmate because that's a legal thing to do.

00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:17.640
Right.

00:39:17.660 --> 00:39:19.900
Like, I didn't commit a goddamn crime.

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:23.000
There are invoices that show why I'm here and everything.

00:39:23.020 --> 00:39:24.040
You know, there's a paper trail.

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:32.500
Captain Ferris interrupts him and says, you are inmate 532-521, and you will address me as Captain Ferris.

00:39:33.020 --> 00:39:37.380
To his point, he didn't have permission to crash on Callisto, so now he's a prisoner.

00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:39.460
He could have been dead or in prison.

00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:48.860
And so Captain Ferris is played by Sam Witwer, and he has a lot of animation and voiceover work, especially in the Star Wars world.

00:39:49.540 --> 00:39:54.280
He was Darth Maul in The Clone Wars, and the actor is also in Riverdale.

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:55.480
He's in Smallville.

00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:56.940
He's in Battlestar Galactica.

00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:58.340
He probably does a lot of conventions.

00:39:58.360 --> 00:39:59.520
He's in a lot of nerd shit.

00:39:59.540 --> 00:40:00.920
Another great character actor.

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.880
He is so good that every single actor that worked with him was like, he's on another level.

00:40:07.700 --> 00:40:11.300
And I genuinely think it's just kind of the energy he brings to nerd shit.

00:40:11.300 --> 00:40:13.080
I think he's like, hell yeah, I'm a geek.

00:40:13.100 --> 00:40:14.540
God, let's fucking do this.

00:40:15.120 --> 00:40:17.980
But Josh Duhamel was like, he is fucking crazy.

00:40:18.380 --> 00:40:22.660
He is too fucking much.

00:40:22.680 --> 00:40:23.740
He is on one.

00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:27.020
Yeah, Josh Duhamel took a project that happened to be a video game.

00:40:27.080 --> 00:40:29.860
And then Sam Witwer was like, no, I got a dream job.

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:31.040
I get to do a video game.

00:40:31.060 --> 00:40:32.860
Yeah, it's pretty good.

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:50.980
And there are some like nerd shit nods to him because under the character information of Captain Ferris in your HUD, when you can kind of go through like your weapon wheel and all the other pieces of artifacts you collect along the way, it says that his hometown is from Rimohad on the moon Io.

00:40:51.120 --> 00:40:56.520
And that is, of course, Dathomir spelled backwards, which is Darth Maul's place of origin.

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.380
Really?

00:40:57.620 --> 00:41:00.440
And I will not take any questions about my pronunciation.

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:03.300
But that's really like a deep cut.

00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:12.180
Yeah, so they found like a very hyper specific nod to Darth Maul's origins, lining up with Captain Ferris in a weird mirror universe, which I thought was very clever.

00:41:12.200 --> 00:41:16.040
But truly his performance in this is fucking balls to the wall.

00:41:16.260 --> 00:41:16.680
Awesome.

00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:20.540
So Jacob is like, I am a fucking pilot.

00:41:20.620 --> 00:41:22.440
I didn't do goddamn shit wrong.

00:41:22.600 --> 00:41:23.820
She's from the Outer Way.

00:41:24.040 --> 00:41:26.340
She boarded my ship and crashed it.

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:29.440
I did everything I could just to not fucking die.

00:41:29.600 --> 00:41:31.160
She killed my co-pilot.

00:41:31.180 --> 00:41:31.980
Like, what the fuck?

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:33.960
Ferris could not care less.

00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:36.060
Ferris is like, you are an inmate.

00:41:36.200 --> 00:41:38.020
5, 2, 1, shut up.

00:41:38.240 --> 00:41:39.800
Warden's direct orders.

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:47.060
And as he says this, the Warden of Black Iron, Warden Cole, appears in the middle of the vehicle as a hologram.

00:41:47.600 --> 00:41:51.820
Now, this hologram appears to be a welcome to prison onboarding video.

00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:53.860
Is this a welcome to prison video?

00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:54.380
Holy shit.

00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:58.840
I was thinking it in my head as a joke, and then you led with that it actually is.

00:41:58.860 --> 00:41:59.480
That's great.

00:41:59.680 --> 00:42:04.000
It's dead-ass prison orientation.

00:42:04.240 --> 00:42:09.680
He's talking about choices and choices leading you here and finding your purpose in life.

00:42:11.540 --> 00:42:13.860
It's the first day of school for prison.

00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:22.140
Now, Warden Cole is played by James Mathis III, who also did some additional voices for the Dead Space remake.

00:42:22.860 --> 00:42:25.940
He got checks from both sides, bitch.

00:42:26.340 --> 00:42:31.940
And he's also an incredibly well-storied performer with lots of really cool projects under his belt, especially animation.

00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:39.520
Now, this weird-as-fuck inspirational speech from Warden Cole ends with him being like, together, we will find your purpose.

00:42:39.900 --> 00:42:41.720
Welcome to prison.

00:42:44.220 --> 00:42:46.200
Not quite the welcome to rapture moment.

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.000
I was thinking like, welcome to Jurassic Park.

00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:53.760
But instead of the dinosaurs coming out, it's just a bunch of people being imprisoned.

00:42:55.080 --> 00:43:01.520
Captain Ferris says he loves the onboarding video, which is also just a deranged line.

00:43:01.540 --> 00:43:02.720
I love that video.

00:43:02.740 --> 00:43:04.280
I fucking love day one.

00:43:05.180 --> 00:43:10.440
The transport arrives at Black Iron, and Jacob continues to tell Captain Ferris he doesn't belong here.

00:43:10.900 --> 00:43:13.040
And Ferris continues to not give a shit.

00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:15.880
He tells Jacob, like, hey, you know what?

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:18.660
You would have been dead if I didn't come fish you out of the crashed ship.

00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:20.000
So you know what?

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:26.380
It's time you moved on because as far as anyone else in the entire fucking world is concerned, you are dead.

00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:30.600
He tells Jacob that he is crossed over into Ferris' kingdom.

00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:31.660
Oh my god.

00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:33.280
So immediately terrifying.

00:43:34.160 --> 00:43:41.600
Ferris tells him to let go of his old life because his new life, his prison life, is entirely in Ferris' hands.

00:43:42.540 --> 00:43:49.140
And with that, Ferris grabs Jacob and walks him into prison, followed by Dani being walked in by a security robot.

00:43:49.580 --> 00:44:01.040
Jacob is walked into prison into the new inmate processing where he immediately gets just raw dogged fucking surgery to get an implant put in the back of his neck.

00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:05.640
No anesthesia, no cleaning the skin before they cut in, nothing.

00:44:06.060 --> 00:44:06.780
God damn.

00:44:07.580 --> 00:44:09.000
A female doctor, Dr.

00:44:09.020 --> 00:44:16.320
Mahler, confirms his inmate number and then informs him that she's implanting a core device into him per the prison's rules.

00:44:17.040 --> 00:44:21.780
Her assistant says that Jacob isn't even in the system, but she's like, who gives a shit, just prep the device.

00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:33.200
Jacob gets held down in a chair with straps facing down towards the ground, kind of like a massage chair, but in the worst way, just so you can't see what's happening.

00:44:33.240 --> 00:44:43.160
And he's screaming, fuck you, as a robot comes down from the ceiling and cuts his neck open and implants this huge health device in the back of his neck.

00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:48.280
This device, for practical purposes, functions as the player's health bar.

00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:48.700
Right.

00:44:49.140 --> 00:44:56.640
In the same vein as Dead Space, there's no traditional HUD, so you just get a little bar on the back of the neck, so do your fucking sit-up or whatever.

00:44:56.980 --> 00:45:01.480
It's really good for immersive horror atmosphere, though, just not having a bunch of shit on the screen.

00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:02.220
Yeah, totally.

00:45:03.200 --> 00:45:12.760
Jacob gets this wildly painful neck implant done, screaming the entire way through, and after the doctor steps away, he begins to flatline.

00:45:13.160 --> 00:45:15.820
We hear the long beep, and then Dr.

00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.480
Mahler injects something green and goopy into Jacob's neck.

00:45:20.820 --> 00:45:26.400
We see his implant go from one red chiclet bar to a fully lit-up green battery bar.

00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:29.900
He is alive, and now we have a tutorial on how health works.

00:45:31.580 --> 00:45:39.280
I was going to ask you, too, just because you said that the practical reason for it is so that we can see our health bar, what is the in-world reason for this?

00:45:40.240 --> 00:45:41.900
It's tracking the prisoners.

00:45:42.160 --> 00:45:42.500
Okay.

00:45:42.540 --> 00:45:44.700
So you can be like, oh, here's all this shit.

00:45:44.720 --> 00:45:49.420
There is some weight to it being able to have access in different places.

00:45:49.640 --> 00:45:53.600
Security guys have their core devices set up to open doors and shit.

00:45:54.220 --> 00:45:56.820
But it's a tracking thing for this prison.

00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:57.200
Got it.

00:45:58.300 --> 00:46:06.820
Jacob passes the fuck out, and he has this dream where he's in his street clothes, no neck implant, but he's in a prison cell.

00:46:07.340 --> 00:46:10.360
At the base of his cell is a small glowing purple box.

00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:13.660
It's the same one from the Europa attack that we saw on TV.

00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:21.320
Before he can touch the box, he has a vision of Max burnt up halfway dead as he lay dying, grabbing at him.

00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:26.960
Jacob actually wakes up from this horrific nightmare to the actual horrific nightmare he's living.

00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.640
He's in his green orange jumpsuit in his prison cell.

00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.400
His health bar implant glows green against the nearly pitch black cell.

00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:42.920
And in the middle of the room, a hologram of Warden Cole alerts everyone that security needs to report to the main block.

00:46:43.160 --> 00:46:44.200
This is not a drill.

00:46:44.820 --> 00:46:51.060
An alarm is ringing out, and Jacob looks through his prison bars and says, what the hell, something's not right.

00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:53.380
He's a pilot, not a detective.

00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:56.780
I've been here for one day, but this seems wrong.

00:46:57.260 --> 00:47:00.400
As he puts his hands through the bars, the door pops open.

00:47:01.020 --> 00:47:06.020
Jacob just walks out of his cell and sees fires popping up everywhere.

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:09.340
Clearly, he's not the only prisoner who was able to get out of their cell.

00:47:09.420 --> 00:47:09.820
Yeah.

00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:16.060
The prison is several stories up and below, and the cells are all in this big circle facing inward.

00:47:16.620 --> 00:47:19.820
In the middle of the circles of cells is a big watchtower.

00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:26.000
Jacob starts navigating through the chaos, and while he's running over, he's called by a prisoner who's stuck in their cell.

00:47:26.520 --> 00:47:30.920
This is where Jacob meets Elias, played by video game veteran Zeke Anton.

00:47:31.300 --> 00:47:35.400
He's in Ratchet and Clank, he's in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, done a ton of shit.

00:47:35.420 --> 00:47:36.280
He's a great performer.

00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:37.580
I really like his performance.

00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:42.020
And Elias is like a little street British kid.

00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.680
It's not cockney, but it's almost cockney.

00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.380
He keeps calling Jacob like, hey, bruv.

00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:49.320
All right.

00:47:49.580 --> 00:47:53.960
And the fucking subtitles say B-R-U-V, like, just to make it clear.

00:47:54.140 --> 00:48:00.240
Also, how do these accents survive, you know, interplanetary fucking communities and shit, you know?

00:48:00.300 --> 00:48:02.240
Yeah, you know, we're past continents here.

00:48:02.260 --> 00:48:04.200
We're talking about whole ass planets.

00:48:04.220 --> 00:48:04.620
Yeah.

00:48:04.820 --> 00:48:07.680
How the fuck does Josh Duhamel sound like he's from LA?

00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.700
And this guy sounds like he's from fucking Dover.

00:48:11.160 --> 00:48:16.640
Jacob is like, I was working and my ship crashed, and now I'm here and I don't know what to do, and I'm fucking scared.

00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:19.160
Elias is like, okay, you're new.

00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:21.440
I've been in this prison for half my life.

00:48:21.640 --> 00:48:25.920
I can navigate the entire compound and get us out of here, but I need your help first.

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:27.840
I need you to get me out of the cell.

00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:30.860
I'll get us to a ship and you can fly us out of here.

00:48:31.620 --> 00:48:39.200
And then he does the coolest shit imaginable, and he pulls out a full wrench with one side shaved down all the way to a shiv.

00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:40.080
Oh shit.

00:48:40.260 --> 00:48:43.300
It's the coolest prison fucking shiv I've ever seen.

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:44.760
He really has been here a long time.

00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.060
He tells Jacob to go to the control room and unlock his cell.

00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:53.020
Jacob has no other prospects, so he's like, yeah, absolutely.

00:48:53.020 --> 00:48:53.720
I got you.

00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:55.120
You've given me a weapon.

00:48:55.540 --> 00:48:56.260
I could use it.

00:48:56.260 --> 00:48:56.640
Yeah.

00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.800
As Jacob makes his way to the control room, he encounters the first fight of the game.

00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:06.540
Inside the control room, there's two gang members beating up someone we can't really see.

00:49:07.120 --> 00:49:11.020
Jacob sneaks in quietly, but then a third gang member grabs him and jumps him.

00:49:11.600 --> 00:49:19.660
Jacob gets caught in a full fight tutorial, and by the time he's done with that, the two gang members who are jumping someone else are laid the fuck out on the floor.

00:49:19.680 --> 00:49:20.200
Hell yeah.

00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.540
And then Jacob sees who they were fighting.

00:49:22.560 --> 00:49:25.520
Or I guess what they were fighting.

00:49:25.740 --> 00:49:26.300
Ooh.

00:49:26.520 --> 00:49:30.740
We see what used to be a man, and is now a mutated mess.

00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:31.860
Used to be a man.

00:49:32.600 --> 00:49:37.800
This guy's hair and skin are starting to rot off his body, and his eyes are glassy.

00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:42.940
Most often these mutated grunts have pants on, which is great because I wouldn't want to imagine.

00:49:43.080 --> 00:49:43.440
Right.

00:49:43.720 --> 00:49:52.620
But these guys are fucking everywhere, and they seem to be former inmates, and they're turning into whatever the fuck is happening here.

00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:57.520
Jacob manages to grab a hammer as a melee weapon, and we're off to the goddamn races.

00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:03.200
Fighting with the infected is truly so much fun, and that's what I really enjoyed about this game.

00:50:03.660 --> 00:50:04.900
It's unrelenting.

00:50:05.180 --> 00:50:08.820
And of course, get ready to do your Dead Space sit-up.

00:50:09.700 --> 00:50:10.860
You can dismember them.

00:50:11.040 --> 00:50:11.720
All right.

00:50:11.740 --> 00:50:13.240
That's a signature Schofield move.

00:50:13.240 --> 00:50:13.680
Yeah.

00:50:14.700 --> 00:50:21.300
After clearing out the control room, Jacob kickstarts a measure to open up the cells in prison, because Elias, we're coming for you.

00:50:22.200 --> 00:50:25.480
When Jacob gets to Elias' cell, he sees Elias is still trapped in it.

00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.000
The console shorted out with the fires, and he's like, well, I'm still fucking stuck in here.

00:50:30.860 --> 00:50:33.120
Jacob's like, honestly, that's probably safer.

00:50:33.140 --> 00:50:34.620
There's something crazy going on.

00:50:34.620 --> 00:50:35.040
Right.

00:50:35.180 --> 00:50:36.380
And it's not human.

00:50:37.040 --> 00:50:42.520
So Elias is like, no, this place can mess with your head, but focus, buddy, you're with me.

00:50:42.540 --> 00:50:42.900
Come on.

00:50:43.120 --> 00:50:45.940
If you're scared, that's just more motivation to get the fuck out of here.

00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.160
So he's a little skeptical just off the bat.

00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:53.240
Elias tells Jacob to meet him in the center watchtower, and he'll find his way there.

00:50:53.260 --> 00:50:55.380
He's like, I'll fucking crawl out of this or something.

00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:55.740
Okay.

00:50:56.400 --> 00:51:02.700
Looks like some walls have collapsed in the chaos, so Elias can kind of figure out how to get through the other way and meet up with Jacob later.

00:51:03.520 --> 00:51:07.920
This area brings more of those infested fucks, and some are bigger and angrier.

00:51:08.660 --> 00:51:12.200
One major thing we see in these fuckers is that they're incredibly agile.

00:51:12.460 --> 00:51:17.720
They'll pop out of goddamn nowhere, fall from the ceiling, climb at you through the floorboards.

00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:19.500
These fuckers come out of nowhere.

00:51:19.580 --> 00:51:21.260
So they're just like living in the walls.

00:51:21.260 --> 00:51:22.040
Yeah.

00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:23.440
Real rat people.

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.820
As Jacob gets to an elevator to get up to the watchtower, Elias pops up in his head.

00:51:30.180 --> 00:51:34.480
Elias says he turned on two-way comms with Jacob via the core devices in their neck.

00:51:34.980 --> 00:51:36.340
So a couple purposes there.

00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:39.780
He cites that he's been here for so fucking long.

00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:41.740
He's learned how to do some crazy shit.

00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:47.840
Elias is in Jacob's ear to help him navigate through the prison while Jacob encounters more and more infected.

00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:55.720
So I guess you can take a bio shot, because you're alone fighting in an unknown world with some stranger with an accent in your ear.

00:51:55.780 --> 00:51:56.180
Right.

00:51:56.820 --> 00:51:57.940
Ah, it's fine.

00:51:57.960 --> 00:51:59.200
It's fine.

00:51:59.200 --> 00:51:59.680
I'm fine.

00:52:02.260 --> 00:52:10.440
So the fighting includes Jacob stomping on the corpses of some, and when you stomp on a corpse, that's how you loot the body to get all the fun shit out.

00:52:10.520 --> 00:52:10.960
Nice.

00:52:11.060 --> 00:52:15.640
And it's also just very satisfying to stomp motherfuckers out and is a signature Schofield move.

00:52:15.680 --> 00:52:17.600
Well, it's like the Gears of War curb stomp, too.

00:52:17.620 --> 00:52:25.820
Yeah, I guess it is just kind of a signature move of like aggressive dude games, but it's still very fun.

00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:26.580
I don't give a shit.

00:52:26.600 --> 00:52:28.260
I think I fuck with dude stuff.

00:52:29.680 --> 00:52:40.400
So for Jacob to get to the watchtower, there's this really long way to like navigate through the prison appropriately to get in there, but Elias is in your ear and he's like, I got you.

00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:47.020
But you do have to go through a place that has a lot of crazy people and it's called Solitary Confinement.

00:52:47.160 --> 00:52:47.760
Oh shit.

00:52:47.860 --> 00:52:48.760
Is that okay?

00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:51.460
And you're like, I don't have a fucking choice, buddy.

00:52:51.720 --> 00:52:53.400
Yeah, there's a reason they're in Solitary.

00:52:53.540 --> 00:52:54.880
Yeah, of Space Prison?

00:52:55.900 --> 00:52:58.520
Solitary looks like the insides of a mine.

00:52:58.560 --> 00:52:59.820
There's rock walls.

00:52:59.820 --> 00:53:02.200
It's incredibly dark and scary and damp down here.

00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:09.000
The cells look more like cages, and the infected are coming up fast and angry as shit.

00:53:10.200 --> 00:53:17.520
Elias radios down to Jacob and is like, hey, so I just ran into one of my longtime friends here, but it wasn't him.

00:53:17.540 --> 00:53:22.520
He was like, he was changing into one of those things, and he attacked me, and I had to kill him.

00:53:22.540 --> 00:53:24.360
Like, some crazy shit is going on.

00:53:24.380 --> 00:53:25.300
What the fuck?

00:53:26.460 --> 00:53:29.120
Jacob is sympathetic, but with an air of like, you know what?

00:53:29.120 --> 00:53:30.440
I'm not supposed to be here today.

00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:32.340
This is my clerks.

00:53:34.340 --> 00:53:37.060
Jacob finds the elevator up, and we're like, OK, cool.

00:53:37.080 --> 00:53:38.040
We're back on the road.

00:53:38.620 --> 00:53:44.640
You're actually close to an armory, so you can gear up before you face some of these more like really fucked up motherfuckers.

00:53:45.220 --> 00:53:51.740
And you have to be careful, because these security robots are back online, and Elias is like, hey, be careful.

00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:52.840
They're real bloodthirsty.

00:53:55.340 --> 00:54:01.420
Jacob looks over from behind a box and sees a security robot scan a prisoner who isn't infected.

00:54:01.700 --> 00:54:07.220
The robot then says, lethal force authorized, and then shoots his fucking face off.

00:54:07.260 --> 00:54:08.020
Oh, shit.

00:54:08.420 --> 00:54:15.620
This kicks off a stealth section that kind of reminded me of Stray's like hide from the cameras and robots section if it was directed by Eli Roth.

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:19.680
These robots are crazy violent.

00:54:19.740 --> 00:54:22.000
Jacob can get dismembered by them.

00:54:22.020 --> 00:54:24.220
He can get his head squished by them.

00:54:24.240 --> 00:54:25.860
He can get shot down by them.

00:54:26.300 --> 00:54:30.060
They programmed so many sick as fuck grotesque deaths into this.

00:54:30.120 --> 00:54:31.460
It's honestly a marvel.

00:54:32.900 --> 00:54:39.820
Jacob can find a box here that in most cases has some loot like health or Callisto credits, which is the in-game currency.

00:54:40.260 --> 00:54:48.960
But in this loot box, Jacob opens it, and whatever the game's equivalent of a facehugger jumps out and attaches to his face.

00:54:48.980 --> 00:54:50.320
Now there's facehuggers?

00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:51.720
Yeah.

00:54:51.740 --> 00:54:52.100
Oh, shit.

00:54:54.320 --> 00:55:03.120
These things are gross, possum-sized worm creatures, and they're hiding all over the game map, and it sucks every single fucking time.

00:55:03.740 --> 00:55:04.260
I hate them.

00:55:06.340 --> 00:55:08.560
Is this the jumpscares that you were telling me about?

00:55:08.580 --> 00:55:10.500
Yeah, a couple of these got me.

00:55:10.520 --> 00:55:11.880
I'm not gonna lie.

00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:21.900
Jacob takes his shiv and stabs blindly at the meat, eating his own face to break free, which is also just a study in trusting your own stabbing ability.

00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:32.400
The fun of the game is finding where these motherfuckers are coming from and why this is happening, so I will get into more of the lore, but just don't jump ahead.

00:55:32.420 --> 00:55:33.160
We're gonna get there.

00:55:33.180 --> 00:55:35.360
There is reason for all this crazy shit.

00:55:35.420 --> 00:55:36.700
I would hope the fuck so.

00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:43.920
So as we're going through, I'm not gonna describe every single scary encounter because, like, holy shit, that would be just bad.

00:55:44.300 --> 00:55:48.780
So I'm gonna kind of describe senses of them, so I'm giving you a little bit of a lore dump right now.

00:55:48.920 --> 00:55:53.800
We're gonna get into why there's different ones and all the crazy shit, so just hang with me.

00:55:54.240 --> 00:56:00.280
Be scared and just know these motherfuckers are coming out of every goddamn corner, and it's great every single time.

00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:13.260
It fascinates me to no end that so many video games, like, throughout history, like, all the way back to, like, Dragon's Lair, where they focus on different deaths and, like, different animations for different ways that you can die in a game.

00:56:13.260 --> 00:56:14.460
Yeah, it's great.

00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:16.020
I love that.

00:56:16.740 --> 00:56:17.660
You know what I also love?

00:56:18.100 --> 00:56:20.100
Taking a bio shot, baby!

00:56:20.120 --> 00:56:21.120
Oh, no, what's happening?

00:56:21.140 --> 00:56:25.000
Because we're going to start seeing audio files all over the game map.

00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:31.920
These files are from the staff at Black Iron Prison and just give context into what's happening so we can start painting a picture.

00:56:32.240 --> 00:56:36.680
And also, I'm not going to call every single one out, but I am going to culminate them into the story.

00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:43.760
I'm saying that mostly for any hundo chasers that are like, you forgot about the fucking facehugger in this level.

00:56:44.020 --> 00:56:48.060
Hey, if they have that much to say, they can come to our Discord and talk to us in our I'm actually channel.

00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:50.400
That was smooth.

00:56:50.420 --> 00:56:51.220
I ain't gonna lie.

00:56:52.380 --> 00:56:58.000
When Jacob finally makes it to the weapons lockup, he sees it's already been raided, which completely makes sense.

00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:04.440
But he is able to get an electric baton, and now his melee weapon is an electric baton.

00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:05.100
Hell yeah.

00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:09.860
It's kind of those in the real world here, like they're cattle prods, something they're called.

00:57:10.380 --> 00:57:16.740
It's the same kind that the guards would use on the prisoners here at Black Iron, so you know it's like a real fucked up version of that.

00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:22.860
Elias tells Jacob he's really close to the watchtower, so they should be able to reconnect real soon.

00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:25.140
Jacob's like, sick, this fucking sucks.

00:57:26.120 --> 00:57:31.800
Jacob gets to the watchtower first and overhears chatter about the guards getting overwhelmed with everything happening.

00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:37.260
Captain Ferris is in front of dozens of security screens barking orders at his units.

00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:44.180
Jacob starts to sneak past fuck-faced Ferris as he's breaking out of a door, and then Ferris catches him.

00:57:44.520 --> 00:57:45.700
Aw, fuck-faced Ferris.

00:57:46.380 --> 00:57:58.920
We see a wave of energy come over Jacob and hold him in place, and then as we see Ferris kind of enter the fucking scene, he flicks his wrist and Jacob is pulled up to meet him.

00:57:59.780 --> 00:58:05.220
Ferris is wearing a glove called a Gravity Resistance Projector, a GRP, a grip.

00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:07.640
That's literally just a telekinesis glove.

00:58:07.780 --> 00:58:08.680
It's the gravity gun.

00:58:08.820 --> 00:58:20.620
Yeah, it's sick and there's also a version of this in Dead Space, but it's like for stasis, so you could hold the alien or the Necromorphs, excuse me, actually it's a Necromorph, in place to dismember them.

00:58:21.740 --> 00:58:24.620
Here, it's just to pick shit up and throw it, which is very fun.

00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:28.980
I respect that there can be calls of this being derivative.

00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:30.080
Is it derivative?

00:58:30.100 --> 00:58:31.340
It's still fucking fun.

00:58:31.620 --> 00:58:36.720
No, if you can make it like original, even if you're like using it from something else, that's okay.

00:58:37.160 --> 00:58:42.280
Yeah, it's very fun and it's very cool to see because Jacob is like, what the fuck?

00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:43.400
I'm floating.

00:58:45.140 --> 00:58:50.000
So, Ferris pulls Jacob face to face with him and is like, how the fuck did you get in here?

00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:51.760
Ferris is like, you know what?

00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:52.800
I don't have time for this.

00:58:52.820 --> 00:58:56.860
And before Jacob can say anything, Ferris throws Jacob across the room.

00:58:56.900 --> 00:58:57.400
Oh shit.

00:58:57.700 --> 00:59:04.760
And then suddenly, Ferris does have time for this shit and decides to recap the game up until this point.

00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:08.540
So you're probably wondering how he got here.

00:59:08.540 --> 00:59:23.780
He's a little campy, which I really appreciate, because he is truly like one notch a little over the top from the other performances that feel very grounded and like truly people navigating a unique circumstance that is scary and unknown to them.

00:59:24.080 --> 00:59:27.120
And Ferris is just like, I hate everything.

00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:28.740
I love killing things.

00:59:29.160 --> 00:59:33.160
Well, the only way that works is if they are still in the same game as everybody else.

00:59:33.240 --> 00:59:35.940
Yeah, they're certainly in the same game, but he's on another level.

00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:36.620
Okay, good.

00:59:37.140 --> 00:59:39.040
Ferris goes, I'm gonna recap the game.

00:59:39.460 --> 00:59:40.780
Let me get this shit straight.

00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:42.580
Your ship crashes here.

00:59:43.140 --> 00:59:44.880
Everything burns to the ground.

00:59:45.420 --> 00:59:46.880
And what's up with that?

00:59:47.020 --> 00:59:48.940
It all started when you came back down here.

00:59:49.500 --> 00:59:52.680
Why are you so special, 521?

00:59:52.740 --> 00:59:53.840
What's going on with you?

00:59:55.020 --> 00:59:59.860
He picks up Jacob again with his glove and suspends him in the air and gets really close to him.

01:00:00.660 --> 01:00:03.940
Ferris says, why did the warden want you alive?

01:00:04.640 --> 01:00:05.480
That's a good question.

01:00:05.640 --> 01:00:06.940
He doesn't wait for an answer.

01:00:07.180 --> 01:00:12.880
Ferris throws Jacob again and Jacob lands near a door, crawling with infected on the other side.

01:00:13.340 --> 01:00:16.580
Ferris says, I told you, this is my kingdom.

01:00:16.980 --> 01:00:20.280
And he whips out his electric baton to beat the shit out of Jacob.

01:00:20.900 --> 01:00:22.840
And Jacob says, it's all yours.

01:00:23.140 --> 01:00:24.700
And he whips open the door.

01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:30.480
He pulls the door open and is standing in a corner, so he actually gets protected holding the door against him in the corner.

01:00:30.500 --> 01:00:31.060
Hell yeah.

01:00:32.560 --> 01:00:39.940
They infected pour in and start attacking Ferris while Jacob hides behind this door and just watches as they overtake him.

01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:54.000
Ferris can kind of shoot a couple, but then one body slams Ferris through the glass and out of the watchtower down into the depths of the prison, which again, stories and stories and stories down into the depths of this Jupiter moon.

01:00:54.200 --> 01:00:54.900
Bye, Ferris.

01:00:56.900 --> 01:01:02.220
Jacob waits for all this to calm down and then messages Elias and is like, I'm here, Ferris is dead.

01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:05.460
Elias is like, oh, shit, that's awesome.

01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:06.960
All right, I'm not far.

01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:07.980
I'll see you soon.

01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:13.320
Jacob continues through the watchtower and we enter the section Aftermath.

01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.820
In the guts of the prison, Jacob pushes on and he meets up with Elias.

01:01:18.560 --> 01:01:23.760
As he does, he triggers one of the many hologram messages from Warden Cole that appear throughout the game.

01:01:24.460 --> 01:01:30.180
It's a speech to the team about how he's the new warden, but he's not a regular warden, he's a cool warden.

01:01:30.220 --> 01:01:31.260
Oh my god, really?

01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:32.300
Basically.

01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:38.500
He's willing to do anything necessary to do the right thing for his team and for mankind.

01:01:38.640 --> 01:01:40.100
You can have one shift beer.

01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:48.720
It's very much like swooping statements to make to the team on your first day as space jail warden.

01:01:49.660 --> 01:01:52.320
I know that you guys had a different warden, but I'm not like him.

01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:56.560
I'm here for the fucking good of the prison, which is an oxymoron anyway.

01:01:57.780 --> 01:02:02.280
The watchtower is crawling with infected, and Jacob is swinging away at most of them.

01:02:02.780 --> 01:02:06.060
A lot of them are rotting out of their prison issued uniforms.

01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:11.520
Elias spots Jacob and ushers him into an area and then hides him away from the infected hordes.

01:02:12.180 --> 01:02:17.580
Elias has gotten he and Jacob to a safe locked area, and the two can finally catch their breath.

01:02:18.240 --> 01:02:20.180
Jacob is like, what the fuck was that?

01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:23.140
And Elias is like, bruv, it doesn't matter.

01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:25.160
We have to get the fuck, I'm not going to do the accent.

01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:26.520
It doesn't matter.

01:02:26.540 --> 01:02:28.400
We have to get the fuck out of here right now.

01:02:29.020 --> 01:02:33.120
They're in a security room, but all the guards have been killed, so they're completely alone.

01:02:33.140 --> 01:02:37.500
Elias pulls a gun off of a dead guard and hands it to Jacob to use.

01:02:38.100 --> 01:02:49.100
He introduces the gun wheel to you and then the upgrade system, which is like actually kind of a cool thing because the upgrade system is a 3D printer built into the walls of the prison.

01:02:49.780 --> 01:02:50.220
Nice.

01:02:50.240 --> 01:02:54.280
And you use your Callisto fucking credit bucks to pay for upgrades.

01:02:54.860 --> 01:03:00.600
It's also like, to your point, I have done another space game where a boy was very excited about a 3D printer.

01:03:00.620 --> 01:03:00.920
Yeah.

01:03:01.140 --> 01:03:03.000
3D printers are clearly the future.

01:03:04.100 --> 01:03:10.540
While Jacob's dicking around with his 3D printer, Elias is dicking around with the security, and they're looking for the best route of escape.

01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:17.780
Jacob catches back up, and then Elias explains that they need to be able to get a ship that Jacob can fly to get them out of here.

01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:20.200
Jacob is like, I will fly fucking anything.

01:03:20.220 --> 01:03:21.660
I'll figure it out, okay?

01:03:21.900 --> 01:03:23.700
Just get me something with wheels.

01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:31.980
To get a ship, they need someone with hacker skills because all the ships are actually floating in orbit around the moon.

01:03:32.160 --> 01:03:33.660
There's nothing like on the ground.

01:03:33.680 --> 01:03:37.080
They have to be able to pull a ship down from the space parking lot.

01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:39.040
Which is kind of cool.

01:03:39.100 --> 01:03:39.900
Like the docks?

01:03:41.260 --> 01:03:44.060
So he's like, all right, I need to find a hacker going through the files.

01:03:44.080 --> 01:03:47.540
There's one hacker here that I know can pull it off better than anyone else.

01:03:48.160 --> 01:03:50.380
So we need to get that person.

01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:58.880
The only thing you're not going to like is that they are in the shoe, which is the most maximum security part of the prison.

01:03:59.000 --> 01:03:59.540
Yeah.

01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:02.000
It's hard to get in and it's hard to get out.

01:04:02.520 --> 01:04:03.180
For a reason.

01:04:03.500 --> 01:04:03.860
Yeah.

01:04:03.860 --> 01:04:08.800
And again, Elias knows everything about this prison because he said he had nothing but time.

01:04:09.300 --> 01:04:13.080
And this hacker was so dangerous, they put them in the shoe.

01:04:13.300 --> 01:04:13.940
Yeah.

01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:14.740
They're a hacker.

01:04:15.380 --> 01:04:17.460
So, you know, I can get the ship fucking parked.

01:04:17.640 --> 01:04:18.140
Yeah.

01:04:18.160 --> 01:04:20.400
They can valet the fucking boats and shit.

01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:21.040
All right.

01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:29.220
So Elias is going to stay here and open doors and navigate Jacob through because Elias actually knows how to uncode the security doors while Jacob doesn't.

01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:31.840
So it's a way to separate them.

01:04:31.980 --> 01:04:34.360
Well, as he said a thousand times, he's been here a long time.

01:04:34.380 --> 01:04:34.660
Yeah.

01:04:35.240 --> 01:04:36.540
That's kind of his whole deal.

01:04:37.700 --> 01:04:44.580
Naturally, Jacob starts his descent, and then he runs into even more infected and varying levels of mutation.

01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:47.200
Some of these motherfuckers are starting to get bigger.

01:04:47.820 --> 01:04:50.440
Some of these motherfuckers weren't even inmates.

01:04:51.120 --> 01:04:54.120
Some of these motherfuckers are still in their security uniforms.

01:04:54.220 --> 01:04:55.040
Oh, shit.

01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:56.880
So it's not just the prisoners.

01:04:57.500 --> 01:05:05.460
And then Jacob is talking to Elias and he's like, look, it looks like they can infect any human or whatever's happening because it's not just the prisoners.

01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:07.940
Like, I'm seeing dudes a little like cops.

01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:13.180
Well, yeah, because I mean, my initial thing was like, OK, so they were experimenting on prisoners that got out.

01:05:13.200 --> 01:05:14.600
And now it's like affecting things.

01:05:14.620 --> 01:05:17.300
But no, there's security guards also.

01:05:17.560 --> 01:05:18.200
Yeah.

01:05:18.220 --> 01:05:19.280
This is something else entirely.

01:05:19.300 --> 01:05:20.340
I clocked that same thing.

01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:22.080
I was like, OK, so it's not in like the food.

01:05:22.220 --> 01:05:22.640
Yeah.

01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:24.820
It's not in like their clothes.

01:05:25.600 --> 01:05:30.200
It's here where we also start to see bulbous, infected pores through the map.

01:05:30.540 --> 01:05:33.600
There's these like it's very less of it.

01:05:33.620 --> 01:05:36.400
It's very Xerxes and stray.

01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:41.220
OK, there's kind of just these bulbous blisters growing into the walls.

01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:41.960
Got it.

01:05:42.140 --> 01:05:43.940
It's fucking gross.

01:05:44.380 --> 01:05:47.500
But Jacob can stomp them out, and that is very satisfying.

01:05:47.700 --> 01:05:48.080
Oh, good.

01:05:48.140 --> 01:05:53.320
I've definitely been like, I don't want to move on from this section yet, so I'm just going to stop shit and see if I unlock something.

01:05:53.680 --> 01:05:54.160
I didn't.

01:05:55.120 --> 01:06:01.100
Jacob is also very quickly confronted by a form of infected that throw acid balls at you.

01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:02.080
Acid balls.

01:06:02.240 --> 01:06:03.480
It gets so gnarly.

01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:09.060
A lot of these are cliches of like video game bad guys, but an acid ball is always a big fuck you.

01:06:09.180 --> 01:06:10.000
Oh, it's great.

01:06:10.940 --> 01:06:17.360
Between these and searching corpses of guards to get the right kind of clearance, it's messy as fuck as we make our way to the shoe.

01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:27.800
By the way, when Jacob finds security guards, Elias has him shiv the guard's core device out of his neck to get Jacob the right security access levels, which is kind of what we talked about.

01:06:27.900 --> 01:06:28.700
It's really gross.

01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:30.060
Yeah, but still.

01:06:30.680 --> 01:06:42.400
But I appreciate that they take what is typically a very straightforward game device, like get the security guard off this corpse, and they make it as gory as fucking possible with shivving something out of the neck.

01:06:42.420 --> 01:06:43.380
Out of the neck.

01:06:43.560 --> 01:06:46.300
Yeah, in Fort Solace, it was pick up a card.

01:06:46.460 --> 01:06:46.820
Right.

01:06:47.600 --> 01:06:49.540
It is the same size as a credit card.

01:06:49.540 --> 01:06:50.200
It's fine.

01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:51.460
And that's all you need.

01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:53.180
With this one, they're like, you have to cut it out.

01:06:53.220 --> 01:06:54.200
It's a saw trap.

01:06:54.240 --> 01:06:54.660
Right.

01:06:55.460 --> 01:07:01.800
Through this and some other findables in the world, you can hear some of the security guard chatter from when the prison started going to shit.

01:07:02.500 --> 01:07:09.240
It includes Warden Cole staying calm through others' panic and he's saying he's watching it all go down from his tower.

01:07:10.100 --> 01:07:17.020
When one security officer asks him what's happening, Warden Cole responds, the end of a long journey.

01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:19.600
And that's the end of that piece of audio.

01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:22.200
It just fucking cuts after he says that.

01:07:23.460 --> 01:07:35.760
On the road, while Jacob makes his way through the laundry area, he sees an elevator just fly by, completely unhinged and untethered, which feels like the most classic elevator scare moment in any game.

01:07:35.780 --> 01:07:36.100
Yeah.

01:07:37.260 --> 01:07:41.840
Speaking of scares, down here is where you can run into the first secret room.

01:07:42.660 --> 01:07:45.500
This room is totally optional, but it is interesting.

01:07:45.980 --> 01:07:49.400
It's a large conference room with tables set up for meetings.

01:07:50.020 --> 01:07:59.280
On the wall, there are what's possibly the most heavy-handed thing I've seen in a game, big red flags.

01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:02.920
Literally red flags, which I know is an aesthetic choice.

01:08:02.940 --> 01:08:09.300
Red is a beautiful color, and against this very dark backdrop, it makes this morbid yet secretive kind of group.

01:08:09.700 --> 01:08:11.160
It's a literal red flag, though.

01:08:11.180 --> 01:08:12.360
And the color pops.

01:08:12.680 --> 01:08:15.600
Oh yeah, and it has a big gold symbol on them.

01:08:16.380 --> 01:08:20.680
There's one interesting thing you can find, an audio log from Warden Cole.

01:08:21.160 --> 01:08:28.840
He says that the tower renovations are almost complete and that the program has been reactivated under the watch of Dr.

01:08:28.860 --> 01:08:29.360
Moller.

01:08:30.260 --> 01:08:30.840
Now, Dr.

01:08:30.860 --> 01:08:35.220
Moller is the same doctor who put the core device in Jacob.

01:08:36.200 --> 01:08:36.460
Oh.

01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:43.020
In the audio log, someone asks what Warden Cole wants to achieve.

01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:47.460
And Warden Cole says, Evolution doesn't happen in a lab.

01:08:47.480 --> 01:08:49.360
It happens in the wild.

01:08:49.380 --> 01:08:51.940
I mean, that's true.

01:08:53.240 --> 01:08:56.380
But it's also now, it's like, okay, yep, so they were experimenting.

01:08:56.680 --> 01:08:57.720
Yeah.

01:08:58.220 --> 01:08:59.500
Laura confirmed.

01:09:00.440 --> 01:09:11.980
Pass that area through the medical bay, Jacob finds an audio log of someone in the medical ward treating an outbreak of something violent that they cannot contain and that they need to find Dr.

01:09:11.980 --> 01:09:12.540
Moller.

01:09:13.260 --> 01:09:15.980
This bitch, she's up to some shit.

01:09:17.320 --> 01:09:21.060
A little further down, and Jacob finds a GRP glove of his own.

01:09:21.320 --> 01:09:27.220
So now you get my favorite fucking thing where you can move everything, including boxes and baddies.

01:09:27.400 --> 01:09:27.820
Nice.

01:09:28.180 --> 01:09:28.880
Some baddies.

01:09:29.180 --> 01:09:31.560
Not everyone you can pick up and throw, but it's a good idea.

01:09:32.500 --> 01:09:43.380
Picking up a motherfucker and throwing him into spikes or into the darkness or into the nothingness is fun to do and fun to watch and very good gameplay, and I appreciated it.

01:09:44.240 --> 01:09:44.820
I'm glad.

01:09:45.440 --> 01:09:52.460
More files show prisoners who appear to actively be mutating and security trying to subdue them and that not going well.

01:09:53.040 --> 01:09:53.720
It's a bummer.

01:09:54.740 --> 01:10:01.760
In a section of one wing, there's bodies of security officers torn in half, hanging by their entrails.

01:10:02.460 --> 01:10:05.060
They've been here long enough that flies have started swarming.

01:10:05.780 --> 01:10:08.220
Where are flies coming from on another fucking planet?

01:10:08.240 --> 01:10:08.640
Jesus.

01:10:09.060 --> 01:10:10.060
That's a great question.

01:10:11.360 --> 01:10:12.620
I didn't question that at all.

01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:14.380
I'm just like, hell yeah, that's what happens.

01:10:14.400 --> 01:10:16.360
That's the one thing I make sure doesn't make it.

01:10:16.380 --> 01:10:20.060
You're like, we do not need any of the flying bugs except for bees.

01:10:20.440 --> 01:10:22.880
I appreciate that bees have a lot of good qualities.

01:10:22.900 --> 01:10:23.840
I enjoy honey.

01:10:23.860 --> 01:10:25.620
I don't enjoy horse flies.

01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:35.340
The elevator Jacob needs to use is busted, but Elias says he can drive it up and down for Jacob if he can just hop on, which is like, what a good guy in the chair.

01:10:36.240 --> 01:10:49.560
Elias says he's going to let him down nice and easy, which obviously means the elevator just starts freefalling as Jacob is like, hey, the brakes aren't working and I'm definitely going to die.

01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:59.300
The elevator shorts out and Elias can't control it anymore, so Jacob throws a pipe into the threading of the elevator to jam it the fuck up.

01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:05.000
This doesn't work, so Jacob ends up kicking the elevator brakes until they stop.

01:11:05.980 --> 01:11:07.360
Whatever works, I mean, God.

01:11:08.460 --> 01:11:12.500
With the system shorting out, Elias tells Jacob to get through to another elevator.

01:11:13.260 --> 01:11:18.600
Deep down here, stories and stories below, the rot of the infection is getting really thick.

01:11:19.200 --> 01:11:26.140
The basement you're in is mostly storage, so there's some fun, like, maze set pieces to go through, but still, it's getting really gross.

01:11:26.980 --> 01:11:30.820
Jacob comes up to an elevator that he takes up finally to the shoe.

01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:36.520
The whole prison is like a donut with the watchtower being at the top part of the donut hole.

01:11:37.100 --> 01:11:41.720
Now, deep in the bottom of the donut, there's another hole, and that hole is the shoe.

01:11:42.620 --> 01:11:48.160
The shoe sits in the very middle of the prison, suspended by wires to float out by itself.

01:11:48.820 --> 01:11:51.240
It is an in-world Alcatraz.

01:11:51.260 --> 01:11:54.640
There is no hope of sneaking out when this was operating.

01:11:55.700 --> 01:12:02.580
When Jacob is up at the right level as the shoe, he steps out and sees Elias there, waiting for him, fiddling with some security panel.

01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:03.600
Actually there, though?

01:12:03.620 --> 01:12:03.940
Yes.

01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:04.400
Nice.

01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:07.000
Not a Dead Space situation.

01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:07.680
Yeah.

01:12:08.440 --> 01:12:14.100
Elias says that with the power out, he has to do a manual override to get the gondola to run, which like how fun.

01:12:14.120 --> 01:12:15.000
I love a gondola.

01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:15.380
Yeah.

01:12:15.820 --> 01:12:18.500
So only Jacob can go into the shoe to extract the hacker.

01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:26.740
Naturally, your gondola ride is interrupted by acid hurling infected just as a nice precursor for what's to come in the shoe.

01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:32.500
You would think that it being so isolated, you wouldn't run into them.

01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:36.300
No, they're everywhere.

01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:37.720
That's the whole thing.

01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:43.520
The shoe is immediately completely blacked out and on lockdown.

01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:45.740
So Jacob has to get the power started.

01:12:46.660 --> 01:12:47.260
Don't say it.

01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.780
Because it's just a dance of moving fuses and flipping switches.

01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:53.220
But there's always a goddamn generator.

01:12:53.240 --> 01:12:54.580
No, it's not in this case.

01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:56.280
It's just flipping switches.

01:12:57.820 --> 01:13:04.340
Anyway, as you're turning it on, waves and waves of infected are flooding you while the power is being restored.

01:13:04.900 --> 01:13:09.180
Huge gears and machinery clank on and give away your location.

01:13:09.200 --> 01:13:10.920
So everyone just rolls up on you.

01:13:10.940 --> 01:13:11.700
It's gnarly.

01:13:11.740 --> 01:13:12.600
It's very fun.

01:13:13.780 --> 01:13:19.480
With the power on, Elias tells Jacob, would you kindly get to the control room so we can access the cell?

01:13:20.060 --> 01:13:20.700
Take a shot.

01:13:21.540 --> 01:13:26.780
There's a lot of killing as Jacob gets through the shoe to the control room to access the right cell.

01:13:27.340 --> 01:13:30.020
He pulls up the hacker cell and Elias is like, perfect.

01:13:30.040 --> 01:13:30.760
I'll be right there.

01:13:32.440 --> 01:13:36.580
Jacob cautiously opens the cell and doesn't immediately see anyone in there.

01:13:37.240 --> 01:13:38.920
He's like, is this the right one?

01:13:38.940 --> 01:13:42.460
Because I opened the one you told me to and no one's fucking here.

01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:46.980
And then Jacob is jumped by the hacker inmate who was hiding in the corner.

01:13:48.020 --> 01:13:49.260
Nice to see you again, Dani.

01:13:50.500 --> 01:14:01.080
Dani knocks Jacob on his fucking ass long enough for her to maneuver out of the cell and lock the door on her way out, trapping Jacob in her shoe cell.

01:14:01.160 --> 01:14:01.760
I'm sorry.

01:14:01.780 --> 01:14:04.480
So she has been here for 15 minutes.

01:14:04.580 --> 01:14:04.960
Yes.

01:14:05.260 --> 01:14:09.520
And got thrown into the most maximum security prison available.

01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:10.940
She's a wanted terrorist.

01:14:11.180 --> 01:14:11.760
It's true.

01:14:11.780 --> 01:14:12.860
She's a wanted terrorist.

01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:16.380
But still, like, she must have given them some serious shit.

01:14:16.460 --> 01:14:16.880
Oh, yeah.

01:14:16.900 --> 01:14:17.720
She's mouthy.

01:14:18.140 --> 01:14:19.140
She don't give a fuck.

01:14:19.420 --> 01:14:21.780
And the fact that she was the hacker, I never saw that coming.

01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:22.200
I don't know why.

01:14:23.400 --> 01:14:27.480
You didn't know anything about her other than she's very angry and she's very small.

01:14:27.500 --> 01:14:30.400
Well, you described her as, like, being, like, anonymous earlier, so...

01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:31.140
Yeah.

01:14:31.860 --> 01:14:35.680
Jacob immediately recognizes Dani and is reasonably upset.

01:14:35.700 --> 01:14:36.040
Yeah.

01:14:36.140 --> 01:14:38.680
Elias comes in and is like, Hey, guys, see, you've met.

01:14:38.820 --> 01:14:39.600
What's going on?

01:14:39.700 --> 01:14:40.620
Why is he trapped?

01:14:41.580 --> 01:14:44.160
Jacob is like, all right, first of all, fuck you.

01:14:44.180 --> 01:14:47.120
You made me release the leader of a terrorist group.

01:14:47.360 --> 01:14:48.480
The Outer Way bitch.

01:14:48.500 --> 01:14:49.320
Are you kidding me?

01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:51.980
And Elias is like, hey, get over it.

01:14:52.220 --> 01:14:59.260
She is the only person in the system that hasn't turned into a monster and has the skills to call down a ship.

01:14:59.280 --> 01:15:00.860
So everyone shut the fuck up.

01:15:01.160 --> 01:15:03.120
We're going to work together and we're going to get out of here.

01:15:03.360 --> 01:15:03.900
Yeah, that's fair.

01:15:04.280 --> 01:15:06.080
Dani says, why would I help you?

01:15:07.140 --> 01:15:08.700
Elias is like, so we can leave.

01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:09.520
What the fuck?

01:15:09.540 --> 01:15:10.440
Are you kidding me?

01:15:10.820 --> 01:15:11.640
Look around.

01:15:11.940 --> 01:15:14.180
You hack, he fly, I navigate.

01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:15.560
Get your shit together.

01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:16.120
We go.

01:15:16.700 --> 01:15:18.300
Dani is like, I'm not interested.

01:15:18.620 --> 01:15:21.800
And as she's leaving, she tells Elias not to trust Jacob.

01:15:22.480 --> 01:15:24.100
She tells Elias not to trust you?

01:15:24.180 --> 01:15:24.640
Yes.

01:15:26.120 --> 01:15:30.340
And again, Jacob's like, I'm not even supposed to be here today.

01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.480
She leaves and then the security system kicks back on.

01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:35.900
An auto lock procedure is in place.

01:15:35.900 --> 01:15:39.280
And now Jacob's cell is completely covered by steel.

01:15:39.300 --> 01:15:41.740
So he's in a full just box with no vision.

01:15:42.380 --> 01:15:45.460
He calls out to Elias as his cell is clearly being moved.

01:15:46.380 --> 01:15:49.860
Elias is like, OK, I swear I didn't know who she was.

01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:54.820
I just went through the fucking hacking charges and figured this person can get us a plane.

01:15:55.340 --> 01:15:57.220
I also don't know what's going on with you two.

01:15:57.240 --> 01:15:58.500
What the fuck is going on there?

01:15:59.620 --> 01:16:02.400
Anyway, because of the lockdown, Elias has to leave.

01:16:02.440 --> 01:16:03.900
Otherwise, he'll get trapped in the shoe.

01:16:04.140 --> 01:16:07.860
But he says he'll talk Jacob through making his way back so they can reconnect.

01:16:08.380 --> 01:16:09.620
He's like, I still got you.

01:16:10.740 --> 01:16:13.340
Just one thing, you're not going to like it.

01:16:13.780 --> 01:16:15.580
You do have to go through waste management.

01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:17.780
Anyway, after that, we can leave.

01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:19.840
He has to shashank himself out of there?

01:16:19.860 --> 01:16:20.960
Oh, bitch.

01:16:21.340 --> 01:16:22.500
Oh, no.

01:16:24.200 --> 01:16:28.460
Once his cell docks, Jacob is able to break through the door, through a poster.

01:16:28.480 --> 01:16:28.940
I'm kidding.

01:16:30.380 --> 01:16:34.300
He's able to break through the door of the cell and navigate through the guts of the shoe.

01:16:35.280 --> 01:16:45.840
It is dingy, it is dirty, and it is so gross, and of course, wildly claustrophobic and crawling just so deep with infected and security robots.

01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:55.080
As Jacob gets close to leaving, Elias warns him, Oh, by the way, there is a trap that the prison built to keep people from escaping the shoe.

01:16:55.480 --> 01:16:56.060
Heads up.

01:16:56.460 --> 01:16:58.380
And Jacob is just like, copy that.

01:16:59.160 --> 01:17:02.640
Doesn't have questions about anything or asking what the trap is.

01:17:02.660 --> 01:17:04.480
I was going to say, just vague, a trap?

01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:04.940
Yeah.

01:17:05.360 --> 01:17:14.620
Now Jacob comes up on the trap that Elias warned him about, and this trap is a narrow hallway with an occasional small alcove to hide in.

01:17:15.020 --> 01:17:23.280
But the second you step foot in the hallway, two vertical cylinders of spikes come spinning and roaring up and down the hallway.

01:17:23.400 --> 01:17:26.880
What the fuck kind of security measure is this?

01:17:27.140 --> 01:17:30.800
It is some like haunted house at the fair kind of shit.

01:17:32.060 --> 01:17:36.140
Wait, if this was Styrofoam, I'd be able to run through this like a child, you know?

01:17:36.300 --> 01:17:39.740
Honestly, this is a video game security measure.

01:17:40.980 --> 01:17:41.700
Exactly, bitch.

01:17:41.720 --> 01:17:46.120
I know we're playing one, but like to build one in real life is ridiculous.

01:17:46.900 --> 01:17:51.000
I appreciate how much you've bought into the reality of Black Iron Prison.

01:17:51.120 --> 01:17:52.420
You're like, this is real.

01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:57.140
It's similar also to that sequence in Galaxy Quest.

01:17:57.160 --> 01:18:00.320
Yeah, like whoever wrote this episode should be shocked.

01:18:00.340 --> 01:18:02.880
Yeah, exactly.

01:18:02.900 --> 01:18:07.240
So without any secondary question, Jacob's like, cool, this must be the trap.

01:18:08.180 --> 01:18:17.580
There are infected jumping out, and the best thing in the world is to jump into the alcove, wait for it to go by, push the infected and watch them get eaten by the fucking spikes and shit.

01:18:17.660 --> 01:18:18.480
Oh, it's so fun.

01:18:18.500 --> 01:18:21.200
I mean, I'm sure it is, just still ridiculous.

01:18:21.340 --> 01:18:22.660
But it's so fun.

01:18:23.140 --> 01:18:26.180
And like people don't talk about how fun the gameplay is.

01:18:26.200 --> 01:18:28.200
Like that is a cool fucking set piece.

01:18:28.420 --> 01:18:30.940
It's a little campy, but all horror should be.

01:18:31.100 --> 01:18:31.420
Right.

01:18:31.420 --> 01:18:34.580
Without the camp, you get into this really dry horror.

01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:35.780
I like juicy horror.

01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:39.880
I like horror that has dedicated lore, but can't take itself too seriously.

01:18:40.460 --> 01:18:45.980
And this is one of these moments of glory levity that bring me joy.

01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:50.200
I apologize if that sounds like I'm waxing poetic too hard, but I really enjoy it.

01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:58.580
After he gets through the trap, Jacob finds himself way the fuck deep in the guts with a window to the surface of Callisto.

01:18:59.280 --> 01:19:05.660
There's a flurry of storm raging on the ground, and the sky is completely, deeply dark.

01:19:06.440 --> 01:19:09.500
Elias tells Jacob to go to the window and describe what he sees.

01:19:10.380 --> 01:19:13.480
Together from wherever he is, the boys look out at the view together.

01:19:13.500 --> 01:19:19.640
Elias warns Jacob about the storm and that he doesn't want either to get caught up, especially with how bad the weather is.

01:19:20.140 --> 01:19:22.820
You know those space storms, real fucking bad.

01:19:23.220 --> 01:19:27.480
Elias has eyes on the hanger where Jacob could easily pilot both of them out of there.

01:19:28.040 --> 01:19:31.960
Jacob is like, oh, the hanger, I used to work out of there before I was a prisoner.

01:19:31.980 --> 01:19:33.960
That was like a million years ago.

01:19:33.980 --> 01:19:36.020
And Elias is like, that was six hours ago.

01:19:38.220 --> 01:19:39.640
But he's like, I understand.

01:19:40.120 --> 01:19:44.220
I will help you get back to your old life if you work with me and pile us out of here.

01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:46.200
We have to work together, buddy.

01:19:46.220 --> 01:19:47.360
I promise you.

01:19:47.460 --> 01:19:49.540
I've just heard these promises so many times.

01:19:50.300 --> 01:19:53.360
You don't have trust issues from dating, you have trust issues from video games.

01:19:53.400 --> 01:19:53.800
Right?

01:19:55.400 --> 01:20:01.360
Elias tells Jacob he needs to get to the dome, and he looks out, there's this beautiful big dome out there.

01:20:01.780 --> 01:20:03.840
And you're like, yeah, Jacob sees it.

01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:05.520
He's like, that's far, but I got you.

01:20:06.320 --> 01:20:10.080
Elias is like, look, buddy, I know this won't be easy, but I have your back.

01:20:10.780 --> 01:20:12.020
Jacob is like, wait, no.

01:20:12.780 --> 01:20:13.520
What does that mean?

01:20:14.040 --> 01:20:15.800
Why are you reassuring me right now?

01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:16.280
Yeah.

01:20:16.500 --> 01:20:17.640
Elias says, it's cool.

01:20:17.780 --> 01:20:23.180
My core in your car, I connected, so I'm going to send you files that will appear from my research and time here.

01:20:23.740 --> 01:20:25.800
And Jacob is like, why can't you just tell me?

01:20:25.820 --> 01:20:33.100
And he says, well, because you're going underground and you're going to lose comms, and you will not be able to talk to me while you're underground.

01:20:33.320 --> 01:20:34.280
Well, shit.

01:20:34.620 --> 01:20:37.500
And Jacob is like, that fucking sucks, dude.

01:20:38.160 --> 01:20:42.900
But it turns into those ghost holograms that like Warden Cole had for like prison onboarding.

01:20:43.700 --> 01:20:49.540
Elias doing his prison jobs throughout the prison and saying like, okay, looks like we can get out through here.

01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:51.420
Are we going to get more training videos?

01:20:52.280 --> 01:20:54.480
There's no more like onboarding videos.

01:20:54.780 --> 01:20:59.280
It's mostly Elias being like, I think if I follow this pipe, it will lead to this next room.

01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:00.340
That kind of thing.

01:21:00.360 --> 01:21:06.520
I was thinking he's going to be watching like training videos and like in watching those, he'll see like, oh, there is a little escape route this way.

01:21:06.540 --> 01:21:09.620
Oh, here's the emergency escape route.

01:21:10.060 --> 01:21:12.640
What a nightmare to have to film and produce those for prison.

01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:17.320
Anyway, Elias is like, look, once you get through, I'll meet you at the dome.

01:21:17.360 --> 01:21:18.240
I'll have a tram.

01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:19.380
You'll be there.

01:21:19.400 --> 01:21:20.840
It'll be easy peasy.

01:21:20.860 --> 01:21:24.020
Just roll with not hearing me for a while.

01:21:24.060 --> 01:21:26.360
And Jacob is like, I have no choice.

01:21:27.300 --> 01:21:28.040
Poor Jacob.

01:21:28.060 --> 01:21:29.920
He really is just thrown into the shit.

01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:30.500
Yeah.

01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:34.260
And with that, we get into the fourth section of the game, Habitat.

01:21:35.420 --> 01:21:41.300
Jacob goes down way the fuck into the depths of this area and finds himself in like the guts.

01:21:41.620 --> 01:21:46.180
There's tubes and machinery, and Jacob triggers the first hologram from Elias.

01:21:47.300 --> 01:21:52.100
In the center of the room, hologram Elias is like, well, finally transferred into waste processing.

01:21:52.220 --> 01:21:53.480
This place is a shithole.

01:21:54.740 --> 01:21:56.500
And yeah, it processes poopies.

01:21:56.580 --> 01:21:57.040
Yeah.

01:21:57.540 --> 01:22:02.240
The hologram is helpful though because it shows Elias calling out which pipes follow to get out of here.

01:22:02.740 --> 01:22:03.800
Jacob follows the pipe.

01:22:03.980 --> 01:22:05.480
It leads right into a waste tunnel.

01:22:06.020 --> 01:22:07.780
Like, he lands in a waste tunnel.

01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:09.360
It's so gross.

01:22:10.100 --> 01:22:14.400
And like the sick little freaks that they are, there's a bunch of infected down here.

01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:20.620
Jacob visibly looks more upset in this section of the game than in anywhere else.

01:22:21.100 --> 01:22:27.620
I think it's the nuances that got me because like the waste starts to cake on his clothes.

01:22:27.640 --> 01:22:29.960
He's clearly upset about being there.

01:22:29.980 --> 01:22:31.480
He just looks more angry.

01:22:32.020 --> 01:22:37.300
And I appreciated that because obviously, the poop tubes are disgusting.

01:22:37.320 --> 01:22:43.480
They're crawling with infected, super bulbous, goopy fucking infected shit is on the walls.

01:22:43.480 --> 01:22:48.060
It's disgusting, and I hate it, and I feel like I could smell it smelling bad from home.

01:22:48.620 --> 01:22:53.260
I mean, that's a very good graphical representation if you feel like you could smell it.

01:22:53.280 --> 01:22:54.100
I hated it.

01:22:54.420 --> 01:22:55.800
The art in this is incredible.

01:22:56.700 --> 01:22:59.320
Art should move you, and this moved me to being upset.

01:23:00.900 --> 01:23:05.160
A hologram of Elias shows the way out of waste management and into the dome.

01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:06.820
And he's like, perfect.

01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:13.020
The only way to do this is to drain the tubes, which is perfect because like ideal situation, get less tube goop.

01:23:13.200 --> 01:23:13.580
Right.

01:23:14.180 --> 01:23:17.060
Down here is Jacob makes his way to the controls of waste management.

01:23:17.340 --> 01:23:20.520
He runs into another Schofield signature move.

01:23:21.440 --> 01:23:24.400
Disembodied instructions written on the wall in blood.

01:23:24.420 --> 01:23:26.260
Oh wow, this is pretty late too though.

01:23:26.280 --> 01:23:28.400
Yeah, get your dead space sit up in.

01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:36.120
Down here, the infected have mutated, and the tentacles have started bursting from their stomachs after you attack them.

01:23:36.160 --> 01:23:36.820
Tentacles.

01:23:37.100 --> 01:23:40.500
Sometimes you're fighting an infected, you don't even realize they have tentacles.

01:23:41.040 --> 01:23:52.220
Until you fight them down to a point where they should die, and then the tentacles come out and revitalize them, and they mutate into a bigger, more powerful form of infected.

01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:53.400
Round two.

01:23:53.620 --> 01:23:55.200
Holy shit.

01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:56.200
Jesus.

01:23:56.300 --> 01:24:01.540
So, as you can imagine, on the wall in blood, it says, shoot the tentacles.

01:24:03.160 --> 01:24:04.980
Thank you, mystery blood author.

01:24:06.060 --> 01:24:10.400
Jacob makes it to the control center and starts the purge cycle to make his way through the dome.

01:24:10.780 --> 01:24:14.520
And he's also relieved, which is the wrong thing to be in a horror game.

01:24:14.540 --> 01:24:14.860
Right.

01:24:14.940 --> 01:24:21.820
Because as soon as he gets the cycle moving, a spider-like mutant creature appears out of the corner of his eye.

01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:24.420
It's fucking huge.

01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:26.660
It crawls around on its arms and legs.

01:24:26.820 --> 01:24:27.480
It's fast.

01:24:27.500 --> 01:24:28.860
It can go on the fucking ceiling.

01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:30.200
It can go under the fucking ground.

01:24:30.480 --> 01:24:33.100
It sucks, and I hate it, and it's a fucking great enemy.

01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:35.340
Pure horror.

01:24:35.500 --> 01:24:38.620
I balance this out with being like, yeah, this sucks.

01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:39.940
This is a difficult enemy.

01:24:39.960 --> 01:24:44.380
This is a terrifying design to being like, and that's what I enjoy about this.

01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:50.380
I need to play like Animal Crossing and just calm my fucking brain because now I'm wired for weird shit.

01:24:50.420 --> 01:24:52.120
Yeah, you sound like a Soulsborne player.

01:24:54.700 --> 01:24:59.900
After that fully realized nightmare, Jacob soldiers on and heads through the tubes to the dome.

01:25:00.260 --> 01:25:06.020
The tubes are pitch dark, and even Jacob takes a minute to be like, God, it smells so fucking bad down here.

01:25:06.040 --> 01:25:07.380
I hate this.

01:25:08.360 --> 01:25:13.180
As he makes his way down, the automated voice comes on and says, Pressure check complete.

01:25:13.500 --> 01:25:14.860
Releasing gate valve.

01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:22.640
Upon realizing he mistook purge cycle for drain, the fluids are released into the tubes Jacob is now into.

01:25:23.100 --> 01:25:23.320
Oh.

01:25:25.760 --> 01:25:31.100
A flood of fluids come rushing down and sweeps Jacob off his feet.

01:25:31.900 --> 01:25:34.720
You have to use fluids, because otherwise it's a river of shit.

01:25:36.240 --> 01:25:43.700
And not to sound too on the nose, but this section plays like a video game, like an old video game, not like one of these.

01:25:43.700 --> 01:25:51.000
But Jacob is flying down broken tubes and equipment and machinery, and it has to dodge them as they come flying up at him.

01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:59.740
It's like if you're doing Guitar Hero, but instead of hitting notes on the guitar, it's a guy wrongfully imprisoned, hiding from shit monsters.

01:26:01.360 --> 01:26:06.380
It looks cool, and playing it feels fun, and there's a sequence in Spider-Man 2 that also feels like that.

01:26:06.400 --> 01:26:08.340
I know you know what I'm talking about.

01:26:08.740 --> 01:26:10.180
But it's fucking great.

01:26:10.460 --> 01:26:17.920
Eventually, though, the tubes start to lead down to the end of the tubes, which means full waste management, where all the shit tubes lead to.

01:26:18.840 --> 01:26:29.380
It appears the waste management tubes feed into an endless pit of the moon, but there was a loose leaf chain that Jacob manages to grab on to before he falls into the endless pit, which is good.

01:26:29.420 --> 01:26:32.160
So it just goes into a bottomless pit of shit?

01:26:32.940 --> 01:26:33.640
It's a moon.

01:26:33.660 --> 01:26:34.520
It's not even a planet.

01:26:34.840 --> 01:26:36.160
Ugh, but still.

01:26:36.200 --> 01:26:37.280
It's so gross.

01:26:37.820 --> 01:26:42.800
An infected spider monster does immediately leap onto you while you're swinging, but it's fine.

01:26:44.020 --> 01:26:50.980
Jacob climbs the loose chain all the way up to a maintenance platform, climbs on, and catches his breath because holy shit.

01:26:52.580 --> 01:26:58.260
Shortly after, there's a door right to the dome, and as Jacob opens it, he's overwhelmed with light.

01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:02.500
This being a moon, he has a full gorgeous view of Jupiter.

01:27:03.260 --> 01:27:10.260
It's almost overwhelming and gives Jacob a moment of reverence in otherwise the biggest nightmare he's ever imagined happening at him.

01:27:11.320 --> 01:27:16.100
He lets Elias know he's at the dome, and Elias is like, Oh, thank God, I assumed you died.

01:27:17.240 --> 01:27:18.200
I'm so grateful.

01:27:18.320 --> 01:27:19.060
I'm nearby.

01:27:19.260 --> 01:27:19.900
See you soon.

01:27:20.360 --> 01:27:24.020
The boys decide they'll meet at the tram station, and it's not too far from where we are now.

01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:32.860
There's obviously some drama with unlocking security measures, but what's really interesting in the dome is that there's trees and plant life here.

01:27:33.860 --> 01:27:37.220
We know from other games that a chief botanist is always behind the weird shit.

01:27:38.060 --> 01:27:42.520
It's still just so jarring to see nature in a sci-fi game.

01:27:42.660 --> 01:27:49.580
So this adds some really great aesthetic dimension to an otherwise pretty singular toned horror atmosphere.

01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:52.860
So he's going to get an opportunity to walk through the park, but not take a shower.

01:27:53.260 --> 01:27:53.540
Yeah.

01:27:55.620 --> 01:27:55.960
Yes.

01:27:56.380 --> 01:27:57.220
Oh, poor guy.

01:27:58.020 --> 01:28:02.720
Jacob lifts the security issues, and Elias parks his tram, waiting to pick up Jacob.

01:28:03.360 --> 01:28:08.260
The walkway to the tram is broken, so Jacob has to take this fuck-ass route to get to Elias.

01:28:09.120 --> 01:28:16.220
It does at least take you back through some of the treeline, which is, you know, a welcome surprise again in a sci-fi prison setting.

01:28:16.660 --> 01:28:19.100
Just seeing trees in space, it's good.

01:28:20.060 --> 01:28:23.880
Jacob does make it to Elias, and Elias is like, wow, you look like shit.

01:28:23.900 --> 01:28:27.800
And Jacob goes, yeah, I smell like it too, and you know why.

01:28:28.820 --> 01:28:29.880
This is your fault.

01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:35.840
The boys get some terrifying nightmare monsters chasing them, so they run off into the tram station.

01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:44.360
In the station, Elias is like, hey, sorry, heads up, we do have to go outside to get to the tram itself, so here's a spacesuit.

01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:45.980
We're going on foot, buddy.

01:28:47.460 --> 01:28:51.780
Poor Jacob is like, I have one friend and I fucking hate him.

01:28:53.120 --> 01:28:57.860
As they suit up, Jacob finally has that magical prison conversation.

01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:00.500
So what are you in for?

01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:02.840
Elias is like, murder.

01:29:03.080 --> 01:29:04.080
I murdered someone.

01:29:04.200 --> 01:29:05.860
You're helping a murderer escape.

01:29:06.120 --> 01:29:06.980
Of course you are.

01:29:07.420 --> 01:29:09.700
But in my defense, it was a long time ago.

01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:12.820
I was defending myself and I was young and dumb.

01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:13.920
It was a different time.

01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:16.500
Jacob honestly is impressed.

01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:17.380
He's like, you know what?

01:29:17.400 --> 01:29:19.020
You were probably dealt a shitty hand.

01:29:19.540 --> 01:29:20.220
Shit happens.

01:29:21.340 --> 01:29:22.240
Elias goes, no, no, no.

01:29:22.260 --> 01:29:23.640
I have to take responsibility.

01:29:23.660 --> 01:29:24.540
That was on me.

01:29:25.160 --> 01:29:27.520
You can't outrun your past, Jacob.

01:29:27.540 --> 01:29:28.840
Uh-oh.

01:29:28.860 --> 01:29:29.580
Jacob.

01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:30.440
Oh, no.

01:29:31.100 --> 01:29:32.780
Jacob looks at Elias and nods.

01:29:33.620 --> 01:29:38.480
As he leaves frame, we see Captain Ferris standing on the other side of the airlock.

01:29:39.040 --> 01:29:40.140
Captain Ferris?

01:29:40.380 --> 01:29:43.040
He's not dead and he's not looking good.

01:29:43.500 --> 01:29:44.460
Oh, shit.

01:29:44.480 --> 01:29:46.540
Did he use his glove to make himself float?

01:29:47.540 --> 01:29:50.780
I don't think they can go that far into the depths of the moon.

01:29:50.800 --> 01:29:51.380
Yeah.

01:29:51.700 --> 01:29:54.860
He screams through the door that there's always a price to pay.

01:29:55.400 --> 01:30:01.860
His voice is guttural and his skin is pale, showing big dark veins pulsing across his body.

01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:08.600
Ferris hits the airlock and the door swings open with Elias and Jacob flying out into the storm.

01:30:08.900 --> 01:30:09.440
Oh, shit.

01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:14.980
Jacob lets go and falls into the snow, and we start section five, lost.

01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:20.540
Jacob is surrounded by storm on the surface of Callisto, and his helmet starts to malfunction.

01:30:21.220 --> 01:30:24.440
It's unable to seal, and he starts choking on lack of air.

01:30:25.040 --> 01:30:36.440
He ends up punching his helmet, and it doesn't work, so he takes out his shiv and starts blindly stabbing the top of his helmet to get the airlock to seal over his face, and somehow this works.

01:30:37.280 --> 01:30:40.140
Well, good, but still, I didn't think hitting it was going to make it work.

01:30:40.460 --> 01:30:44.820
It's kind of like you hit the side of the TV when it didn't work back in the 90s.

01:30:44.920 --> 01:30:52.400
But when you're fucking with an airlocked helmet that will protect you from space air, I don't know, look for a button.

01:30:52.500 --> 01:30:52.860
Yeah.

01:30:54.080 --> 01:30:59.480
Jacob gets his bearings and starts calling out for Elias, but he hears nothing, because, you know, you're in space.

01:31:00.300 --> 01:31:04.180
It's dark, except for the minimal lighting from the prison compound lighting the way.

01:31:04.780 --> 01:31:07.400
Jacob has no choice but to trudge ahead in the snow.

01:31:08.240 --> 01:31:17.400
Through the desolate snow, some of the silence is broken when snowmen break free and are secretly mutant, infected fucks waiting to strike.

01:31:17.420 --> 01:31:20.260
I was going to say, I'm sorry, did you say snowmen start attacking you?

01:31:20.420 --> 01:31:24.640
It's the scene in the office where all the snowmen.

01:31:25.180 --> 01:31:27.660
So it's not Frosty the Snowman.

01:31:27.700 --> 01:31:28.320
Obviously.

01:31:28.340 --> 01:31:30.020
I was using some flowery language.

01:31:30.040 --> 01:31:33.160
It is, guys, frozen in place on the surface.

01:31:33.220 --> 01:31:33.760
Oh, shit.

01:31:33.780 --> 01:31:36.840
So you walk by and some are truly dead and some are not.

01:31:37.160 --> 01:31:42.820
And honestly, this was such a great fucking set piece for some to not be dead and some to be dead.

01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:43.200
Yeah.

01:31:43.200 --> 01:31:44.840
Because then you end up hitting everyone.

01:31:44.860 --> 01:31:45.960
The paranoia is real.

01:31:46.180 --> 01:31:48.580
You see a line of them and you're like, fuck my life.

01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:52.560
It's that exact moment in the office where he's hitting all the snowmen.

01:31:52.580 --> 01:31:53.640
It's so fucking good.

01:31:53.660 --> 01:31:54.800
I really enjoyed this.

01:31:54.820 --> 01:31:57.020
I think this was such a clever set piece.

01:31:57.080 --> 01:31:58.720
And you can fully understand the fear.

01:31:59.020 --> 01:31:59.640
Yeah.

01:31:59.660 --> 01:32:02.200
You're like, there's some of these will try to kill me.

01:32:02.660 --> 01:32:05.140
I know that for a fact, I don't know which ones though.

01:32:05.780 --> 01:32:06.700
Oh, it's so good.

01:32:07.260 --> 01:32:12.280
Jacob finally hears from Elias, who probably just regained consciousness after toppling out.

01:32:12.780 --> 01:32:15.960
He tells Jacob his suits running out of power and he needs help.

01:32:16.660 --> 01:32:20.840
Jacob is like, I need you to activate your emergency beacon so I can run straight for you.

01:32:21.120 --> 01:32:23.180
And then Jacob is like, I'm coming, buddy.

01:32:24.420 --> 01:32:27.920
Jacob finds Elias just outside of a gate with his beacon going off.

01:32:28.420 --> 01:32:34.140
Elias' face mask is broken and we're in space and he was concussed from flying out of an airlock.

01:32:34.300 --> 01:32:34.820
Oh no.

01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:35.920
So he's real fucked up.

01:32:36.380 --> 01:32:41.980
Jacob picks up Elias and starts walking him to cover and Elias slumps limp in his arms.

01:32:42.780 --> 01:32:46.120
Elias eventually is like, nah, bruv, and falls to the ground.

01:32:46.580 --> 01:32:47.000
Shit.

01:32:47.220 --> 01:32:51.020
He thanks Jacob and says, because of you, I got out.

01:32:51.560 --> 01:32:59.080
Jacob holds Elias in his final moments as the storm seeps under his skin and twists his organs until his body stops working.

01:33:00.420 --> 01:33:02.940
Jacob says, I'll see you on the other side, buddy.

01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:06.740
This was one of the biggest shocks that Elias wasn't trying to kill me.

01:33:07.180 --> 01:33:07.780
Yeah.

01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:08.580
I'm not going to lie.

01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:11.200
I was like, oh, it's a buyer shock.

01:33:11.380 --> 01:33:12.180
He's in my ear.

01:33:12.200 --> 01:33:13.560
He's telling me what to do.

01:33:13.580 --> 01:33:15.960
He's like fully guiding this experience.

01:33:16.060 --> 01:33:18.400
No, he was genuine the entire time.

01:33:18.840 --> 01:33:19.640
Shit.

01:33:20.160 --> 01:33:21.820
It really does kind of remind me of Dead Space.

01:33:21.840 --> 01:33:26.620
There was the one character that I kept going back and forth on whether they were good or bad, and they ended up fucking dying.

01:33:26.640 --> 01:33:29.200
And I was like, oh, I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore.

01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:33.500
Yeah, because the other girl's like, I don't trust him.

01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:36.080
He's just like, I just want to get off the fucking ship.

01:33:36.580 --> 01:33:37.520
And then he dies.

01:33:37.540 --> 01:33:40.900
And you're like, oh, his intentions don't matter now.

01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:41.640
No, it didn't.

01:33:41.700 --> 01:33:42.940
And same with Elias.

01:33:43.120 --> 01:33:43.560
Yeah.

01:33:44.940 --> 01:33:49.300
Behind Jacob, a vehicle comes nearby and parks just a few feet away from him.

01:33:50.520 --> 01:33:55.660
Jacob pulls a gun to get ready for a fight, and out comes Dani in a space suit.

01:33:56.000 --> 01:33:56.920
Of course it's her.

01:33:57.300 --> 01:34:02.940
She's alone, and she walks to Jacob and Elias, sees Elias and says, I told him not to trust you.

01:34:03.440 --> 01:34:04.300
Oh my god.

01:34:05.940 --> 01:34:07.520
Kind of a fucked up thing to say.

01:34:07.840 --> 01:34:10.480
Damn, just immediately blames you for his death.

01:34:11.040 --> 01:34:14.300
She saw the emergency beacon and pulled over to see what was going on.

01:34:15.060 --> 01:34:18.500
Dani goes over to Elias' body and pulls out his core.

01:34:19.500 --> 01:34:24.240
She says he knew Black Iron like the back of his hand, and now she does too.

01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:31.120
She pulled the core to get all of his intel because the core holds all of your memories, all of your bearings, everything.

01:34:31.260 --> 01:34:32.400
Of course it does.

01:34:32.580 --> 01:34:39.780
And you can upload it to your core so you can like backdate all of your data with their data and then you know everything that went on in their head.

01:34:40.700 --> 01:34:44.280
Jacob is like, oh my god, he's not even fucking cold.

01:34:44.300 --> 01:34:45.260
He just died.

01:34:45.280 --> 01:34:46.840
This is his final resting place.

01:34:47.180 --> 01:34:49.620
And she's like, yep, but now I know where the doors are.

01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:50.700
Yeah, and he's out in the snow.

01:34:50.720 --> 01:34:51.400
He's probably cold.

01:34:51.920 --> 01:34:56.220
Dani heads back into her vehicle and Jacob is like, okay, but wait, what the fuck?

01:34:57.060 --> 01:34:59.600
Dani turns, gun pointed at Jacob.

01:35:00.080 --> 01:35:01.760
He says, look, I'm a pilot.

01:35:02.040 --> 01:35:03.640
You need me to get off the planet.

01:35:03.960 --> 01:35:06.280
And she says, well, the hangar's that way.

01:35:06.300 --> 01:35:07.440
Better start walking.

01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:10.880
She closes the door of her vehicle and she just fucks off.

01:35:12.180 --> 01:35:14.660
As she drives off, Jacob goes, oh, come on.

01:35:15.400 --> 01:35:19.180
So basically she's like, well, I'll meet you fucking there then.

01:35:19.200 --> 01:35:20.320
I'm not hanging out with you though.

01:35:20.340 --> 01:35:21.760
She's like, good luck, dick.

01:35:22.680 --> 01:35:28.140
Now fully alone, Jacob's like, okay, I guess I'm going to go to the hangar and maybe meet her there.

01:35:28.160 --> 01:35:28.960
I don't know.

01:35:29.940 --> 01:35:37.560
Here in one of those weirdest fuck areas, Jacob finds evidence that there were teams prior to the prison who were terraforming Callisto.

01:35:38.420 --> 01:35:48.340
Terraforming means going off planet and making it habitable for humans, which is probably why there was a botanical garden and kind of like other shit and labs buried deep in the prison.

01:35:48.800 --> 01:35:50.220
This was a terraforming colony.

01:35:50.740 --> 01:36:02.060
And specifically botanical gardens because when you're terraforming, you focus on botany to make sure that there are ways to harvest crops, ways to generate appropriate oxygen for humans.

01:36:02.280 --> 01:36:04.080
That's really like a good starting point.

01:36:04.200 --> 01:36:07.540
Yeah, fun fact about terraforming, not a scientific term.

01:36:08.080 --> 01:36:08.560
Really?

01:36:08.580 --> 01:36:10.000
Yep, it was invented for fiction.

01:36:10.540 --> 01:36:11.320
It's a sci-fi term?

01:36:11.440 --> 01:36:12.580
It's a sci-fi term, yeah.

01:36:12.780 --> 01:36:15.220
They have adopted it to being a scientific term at this point.

01:36:16.140 --> 01:36:17.700
So NASA was like, that was good.

01:36:17.940 --> 01:36:20.640
Yeah, but it was never coined by the scientific community.

01:36:20.660 --> 01:36:22.440
It was coined by fiction writer.

01:36:22.620 --> 01:36:23.200
I love that.

01:36:24.100 --> 01:36:29.280
So anyway, we're like, well, that's interesting that that closed down.

01:36:29.360 --> 01:36:30.420
Why is it a prison now?

01:36:30.500 --> 01:36:31.840
Is it for space taxes?

01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:32.520
You don't know.

01:36:33.740 --> 01:36:38.220
Anyway, Jacob navigates the abandoned terraforming stations on the surface of Callisto.

01:36:38.640 --> 01:36:45.120
Because this encampment has been abandoned for a while, the moon took it over, and it's largely snowed through and frozen.

01:36:45.860 --> 01:36:48.480
Hidden in the frost are so many infected.

01:36:48.720 --> 01:36:49.260
It's great.

01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:54.780
The storm is cruel, and so are the surface conditions that Jacob is navigating on his way to the hangar.

01:36:55.400 --> 01:37:03.840
There's one great set piece where you're swarmed by infected while a non-infected employee is behind a wall begging you for help.

01:37:04.460 --> 01:37:10.460
And the entire time, no matter what you do, you cannot help him before he's eaten by a scary thing.

01:37:10.480 --> 01:37:11.880
It's very half-life.

01:37:12.060 --> 01:37:13.800
Yeah, he's like, Help me, help me, man.

01:37:13.820 --> 01:37:14.720
You need to open the door.

01:37:14.740 --> 01:37:18.320
And then by the time you get through enough infected to help, it's too late.

01:37:18.340 --> 01:37:18.840
It's good.

01:37:20.280 --> 01:37:22.500
Through a voice memo, we see that Dr.

01:37:22.520 --> 01:37:27.580
Mahler, you know, the prison doctor, was down here working on the terraforming team.

01:37:28.240 --> 01:37:32.440
She found some matter that would spontaneously combust and is like, Interesting.

01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:33.840
What can we do with this?

01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:34.800
Is this something?

01:37:34.820 --> 01:37:35.520
Is this terraforming?

01:37:35.900 --> 01:37:36.860
Am I terraforming it?

01:37:37.980 --> 01:37:46.020
Here in the terraforming campus, there's infected that crawl around and explode in acid, which is disgusting and very cool.

01:37:47.660 --> 01:37:51.980
Jacob makes his way through the hangar and actually runs back into Dani.

01:37:52.520 --> 01:37:56.520
So she took the fast way, but still got to the same place as Jacob, thank God.

01:37:57.120 --> 01:38:01.300
She's able to pop into his core so they can connect with each other and stay in communication.

01:38:02.380 --> 01:38:07.400
When they run into each other, Jacob's like, hey, you left me for dead, and that was fucking rude.

01:38:08.240 --> 01:38:13.260
And Dani is like, well, you tried to kill me on your ship, and I thought that was fucking rude, so we're even.

01:38:14.200 --> 01:38:20.860
Jacob shrugs that off and is like, look, we don't need to be friends, but we do need each other to get out of here, so we have to work together.

01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:21.800
Elias was right.

01:38:21.880 --> 01:38:22.340
Yeah.

01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:23.580
Dani is like, you know what?

01:38:23.740 --> 01:38:27.180
Fine, okay, you go to the controls and do some space shit.

01:38:27.260 --> 01:38:30.060
I'm going to work on fixing some shit, and that'll get us to the hangar.

01:38:30.280 --> 01:38:33.820
So we should split up for the game's sake.

01:38:34.340 --> 01:38:35.240
We should split up.

01:38:36.020 --> 01:38:37.200
Jacob is like, you know what?

01:38:37.300 --> 01:38:38.120
Can I trust you?

01:38:38.140 --> 01:38:40.260
Like, are you just going to fucking leave me here again?

01:38:40.880 --> 01:38:48.840
And Dani hands him a gun and says to watch yourself, which, you know, someone hands you a gun, they at least trust you enough to not immediately shoot them.

01:38:48.920 --> 01:38:49.280
Right.

01:38:50.080 --> 01:38:57.700
So Jacob fucks off to go find the controls and open up the gates to get to the hangar, and Dani stays behind to fix some equipment to get them out of here.

01:38:58.100 --> 01:38:58.500
Win-win.

01:38:59.540 --> 01:39:02.440
They do their little prison escape chores and meet back up.

01:39:03.140 --> 01:39:08.040
Dani has her snow vehicle up and running again, and Jacob opened the doors, so we hop in.

01:39:08.280 --> 01:39:15.600
And in the vehicle, on the way to the hangar, Jacob tries to make some conversation with Dani, but she tells him not to fucking talk to her.

01:39:16.580 --> 01:39:17.660
Jacob is like, you know what?

01:39:17.720 --> 01:39:18.880
What's your fucking problem?

01:39:19.360 --> 01:39:20.760
Dani says, it doesn't matter.

01:39:20.780 --> 01:39:22.960
We're almost there, which is not an answer.

01:39:23.160 --> 01:39:23.540
Right.

01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:29.420
Dani is hauling ass, and Jacob is like, hey, I can see the hanger and it's the other way.

01:39:29.600 --> 01:39:31.520
Where are you taking me, space bitch?

01:39:32.380 --> 01:39:34.180
She's like, hold up, I'll be right back.

01:39:34.420 --> 01:39:35.940
The best thing to say in a horror game.

01:39:37.520 --> 01:39:41.280
Jacob looks around and realizes they're at the crash site of his ship.

01:39:41.860 --> 01:39:43.980
We're back to where it all began, baby.

01:39:44.540 --> 01:39:47.620
When Jacob sees his ship, he jumps out and follows Dani.

01:39:48.080 --> 01:39:52.340
He asks her why we're here, and she says, I gotta see it with my own eyes.

01:39:52.780 --> 01:39:56.440
And then she sprints unnaturally fucking fast to the ship.

01:39:56.620 --> 01:40:02.440
Like, it's just a follow part, but they programmed her to haul ass so fucking fast.

01:40:02.460 --> 01:40:07.840
She's deadass sprinting Usain Bolt style up through space.

01:40:07.860 --> 01:40:08.540
It's amazing.

01:40:08.800 --> 01:40:09.740
Gravity's different here.

01:40:11.300 --> 01:40:15.540
Even though this happened recently, the ship is already starting to freeze over on the surface.

01:40:16.200 --> 01:40:21.360
Jacob walks through his former livelihood and sees Dani breaking open a storage container.

01:40:22.020 --> 01:40:26.200
It's one of the secret shipments between Callisto and Europa from the UJC.

01:40:26.960 --> 01:40:28.260
He's like, hey, can you not?

01:40:28.700 --> 01:40:29.420
What the fuck?

01:40:30.040 --> 01:40:31.160
Dani goes, what's in it?

01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:37.460
Jacob looks at the branding and says, well, the box says medical supplies, so I bet medical supplies.

01:40:38.280 --> 01:40:41.840
Dani calls bullshit and demands Jacob open up the box.

01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:47.040
As he does, the box opens, and Dani's face frowns heavily.

01:40:47.620 --> 01:40:51.960
She sees regular, schmegular ass medical equipment and is immediately angry.

01:40:52.040 --> 01:40:53.460
It was exactly what it said it was going to be.

01:40:53.640 --> 01:40:57.780
Yeah, she says, no, no, no, the manifest says you made several drops before the incident.

01:40:58.220 --> 01:40:59.320
I know you're involved.

01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:03.620
Jacob says he had nothing to do with what happened on Europa.

01:41:04.260 --> 01:41:05.760
Dani's upset, but she's like, you know what?

01:41:06.120 --> 01:41:07.340
Whatever, we have to get out of here.

01:41:07.640 --> 01:41:08.900
Jacob, get your shit together.

01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:10.120
I need you to fly us.

01:41:10.820 --> 01:41:13.160
And Jacob's like, yeah, I'm fine with that.

01:41:13.180 --> 01:41:13.840
Can we go now?

01:41:13.860 --> 01:41:14.480
This is weird.

01:41:14.620 --> 01:41:15.540
That was my plan.

01:41:15.620 --> 01:41:18.020
Yeah, Dani is like, I invented this idea.

01:41:19.820 --> 01:41:23.560
They head down to the hangar, and Jacob asks what Dani thought she was going to find.

01:41:24.100 --> 01:41:29.220
And she tells him she was expecting a bioweapon being built by the same corporation who runs the prison.

01:41:30.140 --> 01:41:35.260
She traced what happened on Europa to this bioweapon, and to this prison, and to Jacob.

01:41:36.100 --> 01:41:41.900
She boarded Jacob's ship to intercept the bioweapon and prevent other areas from what happened on Europa.

01:41:42.360 --> 01:41:44.820
Whatever it is, it killed all of those people.

01:41:46.240 --> 01:41:49.380
On the way, Jacob asks Dani why she cut Elias' corps out.

01:41:50.160 --> 01:41:51.640
She was like, look, I'm in a hurry.

01:41:51.700 --> 01:41:59.320
I need as much information as possible, especially when it gets to coming out of here, and that dude would not shut the fuck up about knowing everything about the prison.

01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:05.300
Dani gets behind the controls of a panel and has a ship in mind that's parked in orbit.

01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:08.580
She starts calling it down to the hangar so they can get the fuck out of here.

01:42:09.540 --> 01:42:14.020
Through the hangar, they see even more bodies, and Dani figures they're covering something up here.

01:42:14.500 --> 01:42:16.020
She's not paranoid, you're paranoid.

01:42:17.220 --> 01:42:21.380
The ship starts to land, and Dani and Jacob go out to board it on the hangar platform.

01:42:22.020 --> 01:42:24.460
Jacob is like, man, you're super chill.

01:42:24.480 --> 01:42:26.260
You're not even phased by this shit, Dani.

01:42:26.280 --> 01:42:27.920
This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:31.400
Dani's like, yeah, I saw something like this on Europa.

01:42:32.200 --> 01:42:38.260
Jacob is like, I saw that on the news, and the news said you were responsible for it and that you're like a crazy terrorist.

01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:41.320
She goes, hey, have you ever heard of propaganda?

01:42:41.840 --> 01:42:43.560
Like the concept of propaganda?

01:42:44.140 --> 01:42:45.900
Things are not always what they seem.

01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:51.140
Anyway, it seems like the ship is coming down and Jacob is like, fuck yeah, there's the ship.

01:42:51.160 --> 01:42:52.300
I could absolutely fly that.

01:42:52.320 --> 01:42:53.340
Let's get the fuck out of here.

01:42:54.160 --> 01:42:57.860
Dani says the ship needs two minutes to dock and then we're golden.

01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:01.020
And then the ship stops descending.

01:43:01.320 --> 01:43:02.060
Oh shit.

01:43:02.540 --> 01:43:10.500
A hologram of Warden Cole comes on and he starts pontificating about how one must learn to accept what they cannot control.

01:43:11.380 --> 01:43:13.620
He says he's impressed the two of you came this far.

01:43:14.280 --> 01:43:18.560
He says he's got too much at stake here and the protocol cannot be broken.

01:43:19.620 --> 01:43:25.340
And as he says this, a cannon from the hangar pops up and is aimed at the ship.

01:43:25.700 --> 01:43:26.200
Damn it.

01:43:26.400 --> 01:43:31.320
He says to them, your story ends here, but please know you have my respect.

01:43:32.440 --> 01:43:35.820
The cannons fire and their escape ship is destroyed.

01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:44.920
The ship being on its way to land comes crashing down violently on the hangar, completely obliterating it.

01:43:45.080 --> 01:43:45.820
Oh shit.

01:43:45.820 --> 01:43:50.880
It obliterates it and the last chance Dani and Jacob had at leaving Callisto.

01:43:52.680 --> 01:44:01.580
As the hangar collapses, we see that Dani has grabbed something to hang on to, but Jacob flies and free falls down through space and the darkness of the prison.

01:44:02.280 --> 01:44:09.100
As this part of the compound collapses into the depths of the moon, Jacob free falls through debris and damage.

01:44:09.560 --> 01:44:22.740
This is similar to that earlier pipe scene, but bigger and through like fucking prison space where Jacob has to navigate sliding down through this destroyed hangar and like stories and stories deep into the prison.

01:44:22.920 --> 01:44:26.420
So even in repeating a mechanic, they still like it original to that moment.

01:44:26.460 --> 01:44:27.400
They made it bigger.

01:44:27.420 --> 01:44:28.480
They made it more violent.

01:44:28.500 --> 01:44:34.040
They made the stakes higher than like, oh, he can knock his head in a pole to like, oh, he's gonna get crushed by rubble.

01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:36.280
It's so fucking fun.

01:44:36.320 --> 01:44:37.500
The escalation's good then.

01:44:37.680 --> 01:44:39.440
I love the escalation on this.

01:44:39.540 --> 01:44:39.940
Awesome.

01:44:40.780 --> 01:44:46.940
Jacob manages to hang on to some scaffolding and gets into a structure and passes out reasonably.

01:44:48.120 --> 01:44:50.580
In his dreams, Jacob wakes up on Europa.

01:44:51.240 --> 01:44:55.940
He sees bodies on the ground, mutated like the infected he's been seeing in Black Iron Prison.

01:44:56.900 --> 01:44:58.280
In his dream, he sees Dani.

01:44:58.780 --> 01:45:01.440
She's standing over a small glowing purple box.

01:45:01.960 --> 01:45:04.040
She's facing the box away from Jacob.

01:45:04.780 --> 01:45:10.480
As Jacob walks to Dani, she turns, and all we see is Matt's mangled dead face.

01:45:11.320 --> 01:45:13.420
And here we start the section below.

01:45:14.600 --> 01:45:20.440
After that fun fucking moment, Jacob is woken up to the sound of Dani in his comms yelling for him.

01:45:21.320 --> 01:45:25.000
Jacob opens his eyes, and Dani isn't far, and she's telling him to stand up.

01:45:25.040 --> 01:45:26.060
They have to get out of here.

01:45:26.560 --> 01:45:28.540
Wherever they are, it's actively collapsing.

01:45:29.540 --> 01:45:34.780
They run through rubble, and Dani is furiously messing with some controls and security panels and shit.

01:45:35.420 --> 01:45:38.220
Jacob takes a second to take his helmet off and catch his breath.

01:45:38.960 --> 01:45:43.940
Dani is concerned and says they're on Arcus, and she looks terrified.

01:45:44.820 --> 01:45:46.500
Jacob is like, what is Arcus?

01:45:47.380 --> 01:45:55.560
Dani explains Arcus was the original colony here, the one that the prison was built on top of after it was abandoned.

01:45:56.600 --> 01:46:00.740
Dani finds a map and routes away through the colony and back into Black Iron.

01:46:01.160 --> 01:46:04.580
Jacob is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no more Black Iron.

01:46:05.200 --> 01:46:06.680
Bad shit happens there.

01:46:06.860 --> 01:46:08.020
We're not going.

01:46:08.940 --> 01:46:10.920
She says, it's not about escape anymore.

01:46:10.940 --> 01:46:12.160
The hangar is fucking gone.

01:46:12.660 --> 01:46:14.520
We can still expose the truth.

01:46:15.160 --> 01:46:18.760
Why did the warden just shoot down one of his ships and destroy his hangar?

01:46:19.660 --> 01:46:21.460
What happened for real at Europa?

01:46:21.900 --> 01:46:23.780
It's all connected, man.

01:46:24.680 --> 01:46:29.740
Jacob is like, look, this was my last day of work before retirement.

01:46:30.860 --> 01:46:31.940
Of course it was.

01:46:33.300 --> 01:46:35.800
Is he a fucking cop in an 80s movie?

01:46:35.820 --> 01:46:37.240
With a bum ticker?

01:46:39.460 --> 01:46:42.600
Dani has one brief moment of sympathy and goes, look, I get it.

01:46:43.080 --> 01:46:44.160
But it is what it is now.

01:46:44.940 --> 01:46:48.480
They have a moment together, they rally, and then they head deep into the colony.

01:46:49.640 --> 01:46:53.840
They hear the hangar continue to collapse stories above while they make their way through.

01:46:53.860 --> 01:47:01.020
To get them separated for game purposes, the colony structure begins to collapse, leaving Jacob on one side and Dani on the other.

01:47:01.040 --> 01:47:04.520
They'll have to make their way up and back to each other eventually.

01:47:05.680 --> 01:47:08.340
It's quite quiet down here at least, which is nice.

01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:12.660
They get to a point where they almost reconnect, but again, the colony collapses more.

01:47:13.080 --> 01:47:18.960
Jacob falls deeper into the colony, and I mean that like literally he's hanging off of a surface.

01:47:18.960 --> 01:47:24.300
Dani tries to pull him up and can't lift him up all the way, so he just free falls into the colony.

01:47:24.320 --> 01:47:24.920
Oh damn.

01:47:26.340 --> 01:47:28.860
Jacob wakes up in an irregular way.

01:47:29.000 --> 01:47:30.800
This dude gets knocked out too many times.

01:47:30.820 --> 01:47:32.320
Yeah, he's fully concussed.

01:47:33.320 --> 01:47:36.960
But when he wakes up here, he is upside down hanging by his feet.

01:47:37.840 --> 01:47:43.160
He opens his eyes and sees something unfortunately familiar, the infection rot.

01:47:43.520 --> 01:47:44.560
It's on the floors.

01:47:44.860 --> 01:47:46.160
It's coating the walls.

01:47:46.180 --> 01:47:47.160
It's on the ceiling.

01:47:47.220 --> 01:47:48.680
It's all he can see.

01:47:48.940 --> 01:47:50.180
He is in the middle of it.

01:47:51.080 --> 01:48:00.080
Through a pillar of infected spores and rot, a mutant breaks off of a clump of fucking pus and walks by Jacob.

01:48:00.340 --> 01:48:00.600
Oh.

01:48:01.140 --> 01:48:13.860
These have mutated and rotted through their entire body so thick that they are blinded and moving away that shows they have some like echolocation abilities, which is giving some serious Last of Us vibes.

01:48:13.900 --> 01:48:14.700
Entirely.

01:48:14.720 --> 01:48:19.300
Just coming out of the wall, I was thinking Last of Us, but then you said blind and echolocation.

01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:21.060
Some people just call them clickers.

01:48:21.080 --> 01:48:21.480
Yeah.

01:48:22.660 --> 01:48:30.760
Once this clicker goes by, Jacob cuts himself down and finds himself with more infected, clearly suffering from something similar to Black Iron.

01:48:31.180 --> 01:48:32.980
These for sure used to be real people.

01:48:33.960 --> 01:48:40.440
In some audio logs, Jacob can hear about how the prison came on this land about 75 years after it was abandoned.

01:48:41.440 --> 01:48:43.080
It really shows in the infected.

01:48:43.100 --> 01:48:43.940
They are huge.

01:48:43.960 --> 01:48:46.240
They're nearly rotted straight to the bone.

01:48:47.120 --> 01:48:51.820
When the prison came in and the terraformers came in, they discovered these infected in the colony.

01:48:52.440 --> 01:48:58.060
They had been down in the dark just rotting for years, and they were not happy about it.

01:48:58.860 --> 01:49:03.620
And when they first kind of met them after starting to build a prison, Dr.

01:49:03.640 --> 01:49:08.440
Mahler was the first person alerted during the first contact with this set of infected.

01:49:09.180 --> 01:49:15.120
Jacob finds a transport hub that should get him backed up to the part of the colony that Dani was navigating to.

01:49:15.440 --> 01:49:17.160
He's hoping he can catch back up with her.

01:49:17.600 --> 01:49:21.440
He just needs to do one quick thing that Tom loves doing in video games.

01:49:21.960 --> 01:49:22.360
Oh, no.

01:49:22.380 --> 01:49:23.260
Is there a goddamn generator?

01:49:23.280 --> 01:49:25.000
And there's a goddamn generator.

01:49:25.020 --> 01:49:27.220
There's always a goddamn generator.

01:49:27.960 --> 01:49:32.520
On your generator fetch quest, there is the possibility to find another secret room.

01:49:33.060 --> 01:49:40.000
This is the second one, similar to that first one we saw, which means it's a conference room with big ass red flags.

01:49:41.740 --> 01:49:47.420
There's an audio log in this room from Yannick Sage, an administrator from the Arcus colony.

01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:53.560
He says that Paramo was the sign that pointed the way, and the proof is here on Callisto.

01:49:54.040 --> 01:49:58.620
And now PUBG fans will recognize Paramo as a PUBG map.

01:49:59.020 --> 01:49:59.240
Oh.

01:50:00.440 --> 01:50:01.860
He says we have to dig deeper.

01:50:02.000 --> 01:50:03.300
We have to find the source.

01:50:03.960 --> 01:50:04.620
That's his deal.

01:50:04.640 --> 01:50:07.580
It's not what Jacob's about, so let's get back on track and get out of here.

01:50:07.600 --> 01:50:07.860
Yeah.

01:50:08.420 --> 01:50:13.000
When Jacob gets the power back on to get through the transport, he gets a message from Dani.

01:50:13.520 --> 01:50:15.380
She's like, please let that be you.

01:50:15.400 --> 01:50:19.800
The power just came on here, and if it's not you, I'm really fucked.

01:50:20.060 --> 01:50:21.780
But if it is you, I feel better.

01:50:22.860 --> 01:50:27.240
She said that with the power on, she was able to boost the comm signal, so that's why Jacob can hear her.

01:50:27.740 --> 01:50:28.720
Jacob's like, I'm here.

01:50:28.780 --> 01:50:29.240
It's me.

01:50:29.260 --> 01:50:29.820
Don't worry.

01:50:30.520 --> 01:50:37.540
I'm surrounded by infected, so I can't talk right now, but I'm heading back up to base colony, and I will ping you when I'm there.

01:50:38.640 --> 01:50:40.260
It's very like, can't talk right now.

01:50:40.280 --> 01:50:41.240
I'm doing hot girl shit.

01:50:43.120 --> 01:50:46.420
Jacob gets back up to the transport hub and gets it up and running.

01:50:46.860 --> 01:50:51.080
And as he revs her up, the sound attracts and awakens a lot of infected.

01:50:51.780 --> 01:50:57.240
Jacob's on this platform, and more and more infected crawl onto the battleground and come at him.

01:50:57.520 --> 01:51:01.680
And this is where, this is the first place I got stuck in the game, if you remember that.

01:51:01.820 --> 01:51:03.480
I do remember you getting stuck here.

01:51:03.500 --> 01:51:06.340
I was losing my mind on this fucking platform.

01:51:06.960 --> 01:51:11.260
And this is where we get our first mini boss, and his name is Two Head.

01:51:12.060 --> 01:51:15.200
Two Head is exactly what he sounds like and then some.

01:51:15.420 --> 01:51:25.000
He is two infected mutated bodies fused together through rot and infection to make one Rat King monster of an infected lunatic.

01:51:25.020 --> 01:51:26.260
I'm so glad you said Rat King.

01:51:26.280 --> 01:51:27.360
I was like, oh, okay, the Rat King.

01:51:27.400 --> 01:51:28.940
Yeah, he fucking sucks.

01:51:29.080 --> 01:51:35.640
I spent an embarrassingly long time on this fight, just managing the waves of infected before Two Head came in.

01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:37.640
And that really kicked the shit out of me.

01:51:37.660 --> 01:51:40.620
I just remember hearing you go, give me some fucking ammo.

01:51:41.260 --> 01:51:43.140
Just screaming for ammo downstairs.

01:51:44.740 --> 01:51:45.660
Fuck Two Head.

01:51:46.460 --> 01:51:52.500
In many Schofield games, there are functions to stomp a motherfucker out, like I mentioned that is here.

01:51:52.780 --> 01:51:58.560
And in this game, I stomped this motherfucker out for so long, the game was like, you have to move on.

01:51:59.780 --> 01:52:04.620
The game was like alerting me like, hey, get the fuck off the platform and stop stomping him.

01:52:04.920 --> 01:52:05.760
I hate Two Head.

01:52:05.780 --> 01:52:06.500
Fuck Two Head.

01:52:07.760 --> 01:52:08.360
And you know what?

01:52:08.360 --> 01:52:09.420
Fuck being down here.

01:52:09.860 --> 01:52:13.080
We're going to start section seven called Colony.

01:52:14.180 --> 01:52:20.040
Once you land on the Colony's transport hub, Jacob and Dani make plans to meet up at the old Colony area.

01:52:20.440 --> 01:52:25.520
Jacob starts in a service tunnel and does get to explore these little tiny towns in the colonies.

01:52:25.700 --> 01:52:27.900
You know, the ones that were abandoned 75 years ago.

01:52:28.500 --> 01:52:37.920
There's a lot of miners working on terraforming the area way back when, and some mention working overtime for the UJC, the same corporation who would later run Black Iron Prison.

01:52:38.760 --> 01:52:43.800
And these little tiny towns in the miners live in, they're kind of like the stacks in Ready Player One.

01:52:44.100 --> 01:52:48.680
They're like shipping containers that were like stacked on top of each other to make tiny homes.

01:52:49.500 --> 01:52:52.600
The former residents of this tiny town were not tiny.

01:52:52.840 --> 01:52:57.460
They're fucking gigantic now, and they're rotted through their mutation, so it's a whole ass thing.

01:52:57.500 --> 01:52:57.980
Oh damn.

01:52:58.080 --> 01:52:59.800
It's gross and it's awesome.

01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:04.000
Jacob unlocks his way through security to get reconnected with Dani.

01:53:04.400 --> 01:53:10.080
Dani's really excited to reconnect because she said she found something, but of course she won't specify what.

01:53:10.700 --> 01:53:16.960
There's another audio log here from our friend Yannick Sage, that Arcus administrator who's in the secret fucking room.

01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:19.520
He said, I had no choice.

01:53:19.640 --> 01:53:20.980
I couldn't let it spread.

01:53:21.500 --> 01:53:22.640
They were all disposable.

01:53:23.560 --> 01:53:25.860
But what I found could be the key to everything.

01:53:26.280 --> 01:53:27.780
I must contact The Circle.

01:53:28.620 --> 01:53:31.960
It's just vague enough, but you're like, they were all disposable.

01:53:32.280 --> 01:53:33.440
Oh, it's so Icky.

01:53:33.460 --> 01:53:34.980
Because you know they're talking about prisoners.

01:53:35.080 --> 01:53:36.720
Yeah, they're talking about the people that got mutated.

01:53:37.340 --> 01:53:38.920
And at this point, these aren't prisoners.

01:53:38.940 --> 01:53:40.040
These are just miners.

01:53:40.120 --> 01:53:40.840
That's right.

01:53:42.860 --> 01:53:48.520
Jacob drops in on Dani while she has her net core device connected to the core of a corpse down here.

01:53:49.220 --> 01:53:51.260
Jacob calls out to her, but she's in a trance.

01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:53.800
So he goes to Dani and yanks out the cord.

01:53:54.100 --> 01:53:58.360
Dani's eyes were white, and she gasped for air now that she's disconnected.

01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:00.180
She yells, I won't go.

01:54:00.200 --> 01:54:01.260
You can't make me.

01:54:01.500 --> 01:54:03.560
And then she throws Jacob up at a wall.

01:54:04.220 --> 01:54:06.280
She's screaming, You killed them all.

01:54:07.340 --> 01:54:11.120
Jacob respectfully shoves her, and then the building starts to collapse.

01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:14.620
It's a bunch of rotting storage units, so like go figure.

01:54:15.180 --> 01:54:21.880
They both tumble and topple, and Jacob gets knocked out, which I think is what, the fourth or fifth time he gets his ass knocked the fuck out?

01:54:21.900 --> 01:54:22.500
Yeah, easily.

01:54:22.920 --> 01:54:33.780
When Jacob wakes up, he rolls over and comes up on a scene of people who had died in the colony, rotting where they stood, frozen forever in their last moments of their lives.

01:54:34.740 --> 01:54:38.340
Dani runs up to one corpse on the ground and says, No, I'm sorry.

01:54:38.360 --> 01:54:39.400
I tried to protect you.

01:54:40.200 --> 01:54:46.560
Jacob tries to comfort her because everyone needs to get their shit together, and Dani screams, Get away from me.

01:54:47.620 --> 01:54:51.620
That knocks her back into reality, or out of her concussion, it's unclear.

01:54:51.960 --> 01:54:53.520
And she's like, Oh shit, my bad.

01:54:54.180 --> 01:54:55.000
I'm good.

01:54:55.060 --> 01:54:55.500
I'm fine.

01:54:56.020 --> 01:54:57.540
And Jacob goes, Are you sure?

01:54:57.560 --> 01:54:59.340
Because you do not seem okay.

01:54:59.360 --> 01:55:00.700
You don't sound fine.

01:55:01.060 --> 01:55:03.940
Dani says, I plugged in and I was seeing their memories.

01:55:04.960 --> 01:55:11.780
She says, 75 years ago when this colony was abandoned, there was an outbreak, just like how it's happening upstairs at Black Iron Prison.

01:55:12.460 --> 01:55:14.640
To contain it, they killed everyone.

01:55:15.800 --> 01:55:16.880
She says, it's a pattern.

01:55:17.040 --> 01:55:19.000
Arcus, Black Iron, Europa.

01:55:19.300 --> 01:55:22.960
These outbreaks and then death suppression, it's all connected.

01:55:24.000 --> 01:55:33.880
Just as Dani is present and coherent and lucid, a two-head comes up, grabs her, throws her 12 feet at a steel wall, and then starts coming for Jacob.

01:55:33.940 --> 01:55:35.480
Another two-head, though.

01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:37.880
I fucking hated it so goddamn much.

01:55:38.160 --> 01:55:41.600
I was like, this was like the good, like what, two third point boss.

01:55:41.760 --> 01:55:42.560
Fuck my life.

01:55:42.740 --> 01:55:44.360
And now they're like, and now it's a mini boss.

01:55:44.440 --> 01:55:44.860
Fuck you.

01:55:44.880 --> 01:55:45.860
It's just gonna show up.

01:55:46.640 --> 01:55:53.620
But also, just through a cynical lens, this would be very funny for Dani to be like, I'm fucking figuring it out.

01:55:53.640 --> 01:55:56.320
And then to get all sense knocked out for immediately after.

01:55:56.340 --> 01:55:57.340
Just get tossed.

01:55:57.500 --> 01:55:58.080
Fully.

01:55:59.240 --> 01:56:04.060
Naturally, this fight attracts more and more infected to come out and join the battle as well.

01:56:04.080 --> 01:56:06.540
So just like, truly fuck you, two-head.

01:56:06.540 --> 01:56:07.640
I hate you, two-head.

01:56:08.100 --> 01:56:08.960
Fuck you, two-head.

01:56:08.980 --> 01:56:10.200
All my homies hate two-head.

01:56:10.200 --> 01:56:10.680
Facts.

01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:15.060
Once the battle is over, Jacob rushes to check up on Dani.

01:56:15.360 --> 01:56:18.000
Dani's like, I'm fine, he just got the drop on me.

01:56:18.400 --> 01:56:21.160
And she is such a fucking trooper for this shit, to be real.

01:56:22.280 --> 01:56:29.660
Because Dani mentally linked with that body that she found through the core devices, she knows a way up to the surface through the colony now.

01:56:30.220 --> 01:56:34.840
And because she is tasked with impossible knowledge, she is deeply depressed.

01:56:35.780 --> 01:56:41.640
Dani feels like she's being two people at once, and they're not always going to be as charismatic as Johnny Silverhand.

01:56:42.140 --> 01:56:44.680
I was going to say, she got Johnny Silverhanded?

01:56:44.700 --> 01:56:45.560
A little, yeah.

01:56:45.600 --> 01:56:46.520
Oh, no.

01:56:46.920 --> 01:56:53.840
Dani sadly leads Jacob through more of the rusted, claustrophobic colony until a rotting walkway separates them.

01:56:54.600 --> 01:57:02.100
Jacob falls several stories for the fourth, fifth time and has to work his way back to reuniting with depressed ass Dani.

01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:06.180
They reconnect, they get to an area with a huge dome.

01:57:06.560 --> 01:57:10.940
It's probably three or four stories high, super wide, and it's glowing.

01:57:11.400 --> 01:57:14.420
You can't see in, but there's something happening in there for sure.

01:57:14.440 --> 01:57:15.760
So like, let's fucking cruise up.

01:57:16.600 --> 01:57:22.920
Dani says, from the memories of the miners, this whole dome thing, this used to be a mine shaft up to the surface.

01:57:23.540 --> 01:57:24.540
Why would this be new?

01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:27.040
They closed this all 75 years ago and like sealed it.

01:57:27.820 --> 01:57:30.120
This whole area was fucking abandoned.

01:57:30.740 --> 01:57:32.500
Why would they cover it with a dome?

01:57:33.300 --> 01:57:35.800
Jacob's like, I don't know, let's just get the fuck in there.

01:57:35.820 --> 01:57:37.500
And he runs inside.

01:57:38.340 --> 01:57:42.260
As they walk in, they're greeted by a hologram of Dr.

01:57:42.280 --> 01:57:42.720
Mahler.

01:57:43.440 --> 01:57:48.980
She says she's excited to show you her findings, and it's a culmination of decades of research.

01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:52.060
Jacob says, who is this fucking for?

01:57:52.600 --> 01:57:53.760
What's the audience here?

01:57:53.780 --> 01:57:55.480
I was actually going to ask you the same thing.

01:57:55.500 --> 01:57:58.320
Like, was this a live hologram or was this just...

01:57:58.600 --> 01:58:00.040
This is a pre-recorded hologram.

01:58:00.060 --> 01:58:02.420
A pre-recorded hologram, another welcome video.

01:58:02.420 --> 01:58:11.320
Yeah, so we are established, to your point, there are orientation videos that are pre-recorded and are triggered when you walk through a certain area or just like when there's bodies in a certain room.

01:58:11.700 --> 01:58:16.320
And then there are some live ones, like Warden Cole being like, ha ha, fuck you too, I'm going to blow up the hangar.

01:58:16.320 --> 01:58:17.840
Yeah, exactly, that's why I was asking.

01:58:18.100 --> 01:58:19.640
Certainly, this one is pre-recorded.

01:58:20.480 --> 01:58:26.760
Dani is like, I'm going to sit here and download as much information as I can, and I'll meet you further in the dome later.

01:58:26.920 --> 01:58:28.920
Have fun walking in the Lore Garden.

01:58:29.480 --> 01:58:30.520
And that's exactly what it is.

01:58:30.540 --> 01:58:31.440
The Lore Garden.

01:58:32.420 --> 01:58:34.600
Jacob enters the dome and it's a laboratory.

01:58:35.380 --> 01:58:40.840
There are test plants and mutation formations in these huge tubes of stasis.

01:58:41.600 --> 01:58:42.040
Dr.

01:58:42.060 --> 01:58:47.040
Mahler's hologram continues that it all began with a distress call on Callisto.

01:58:47.620 --> 01:58:49.960
There was a mysterious contagion spreading.

01:58:50.500 --> 01:58:55.580
She believed it was a form of accelerated evolution similar to what they saw on Paramo.

01:58:55.960 --> 01:58:58.780
Again, that PUBG map that we heard about earlier.

01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:00.920
It was talked about by the Secret Society.

01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:08.520
She says that if they could understand the disease more, they could re-engineer it to unlock the secret of the Paramo effect.

01:59:09.520 --> 01:59:12.520
After the site was secured, a lab was constructed.

01:59:12.820 --> 01:59:15.140
Then a prison built surrounding the lab.

01:59:15.660 --> 01:59:19.840
A research base with a readily available pool of test subjects.

01:59:20.680 --> 01:59:23.240
And here we move from dead space to Outlast.

01:59:24.860 --> 01:59:29.020
It's a goddamn corporate prison using prisoners to test crazy shit on.

01:59:29.040 --> 01:59:30.400
No way.

01:59:30.420 --> 01:59:33.220
I never would have guessed that.

01:59:33.260 --> 01:59:37.820
We don't get a lot of things that are rooted in Outlast because people are like, I'm not touching that shit.

01:59:38.740 --> 01:59:40.420
But if it's horror, that's too dark.

01:59:40.440 --> 01:59:44.160
But Callisto Protocol was like, honestly, great idea.

01:59:45.500 --> 01:59:47.780
Towards the back of the lore museum, Dr.

01:59:47.800 --> 01:59:53.840
Mahler says that after decades of searching, the prize is finally within our grasp.

01:59:54.240 --> 01:59:54.940
The source?

01:59:55.460 --> 01:59:56.340
Where it all began.

01:59:56.840 --> 01:59:59.760
A bold new chapter for our project.

02:00:01.120 --> 02:00:02.420
Vir, Sola Terrace.

02:00:03.460 --> 02:00:07.220
At the end of the museum, there's a staircase that goes down through a rock tunnel.

02:00:07.800 --> 02:00:10.240
Jacob goes down the staircase and looks up.

02:00:11.440 --> 02:00:21.380
And up and up and up, because here he stands at the base of a 50 foot monster that looks like teeth wearing a hat.

02:00:21.720 --> 02:00:22.380
Monster.

02:00:22.640 --> 02:00:31.160
It's got rows and rows and rows of rotting sharp teeth, multiple glazed over eyes and burnt skin that's rotting across itself.

02:00:31.620 --> 02:00:35.160
And now in a meta moment, I'm gonna show it to you because I would love your take on it.

02:00:35.580 --> 02:00:36.640
I have the same reaction.

02:00:36.660 --> 02:00:42.080
The screen grab Andrea's showing me right now has a caption from him saying, my God, what is that?

02:00:42.860 --> 02:00:44.500
And that's about best I can say.

02:00:44.500 --> 02:00:46.860
It looks like a giant potato with teeth and eyes.

02:00:46.880 --> 02:00:52.260
Yeah, like a rotting potato if you've left it in the cabinet too long and like the spores start to come out.

02:00:52.380 --> 02:00:52.900
Yeah.

02:00:52.900 --> 02:00:53.500
I see that.

02:00:53.560 --> 02:00:54.880
Anyway, it's 50 feet tall.

02:00:54.900 --> 02:00:55.920
Yeah, oh fuck.

02:00:56.500 --> 02:01:00.180
So to that point, Jacob goes, my God, what is that?

02:01:00.780 --> 02:01:01.940
And hologram Dr.

02:01:01.960 --> 02:01:03.160
Mahler rejoins us.

02:01:03.300 --> 02:01:11.160
She says, an alien life form released by the miners when they broke through to Callisto's subsurface ocean.

02:01:11.500 --> 02:01:13.240
That water we were talking about at the beginning.

02:01:13.260 --> 02:01:13.700
Yeah.

02:01:13.960 --> 02:01:17.500
It was dead by the time we arrived, killed by security forces.

02:01:18.340 --> 02:01:21.640
But inside the carcass, they found thousands of larvae.

02:01:22.180 --> 02:01:26.480
She says their primary disease vectors for the biophage pathogen.

02:01:27.060 --> 02:01:31.660
They collected specimen and transported them to their central lab on Europa.

02:01:32.300 --> 02:01:40.900
Jacob finds some of the exact storage units he moved for the UJC from Callisto to Europa so many times before.

02:01:41.960 --> 02:01:44.320
It's packaged as medical equipment.

02:01:45.120 --> 02:01:45.520
Dr.

02:01:45.540 --> 02:01:55.700
Mahler continues that the pathogen acted as an evolutionary accelerant, mutating the colonists into little more than mindless brutes, which is kind of what we're seeing.

02:01:55.720 --> 02:01:59.520
These dudes are just crazy violent and swinging at everything.

02:01:59.640 --> 02:02:00.060
Right.

02:02:00.580 --> 02:02:05.120
Except for one, she continues, so-called Subject Zero.

02:02:06.020 --> 02:02:20.360
Somehow, Subject Zero was able to reap the benefits of the contagion, greater strength, endurance, longevity, that agility that we talked about, while persevering their intelligence and humanity, which feels like a tongue-in-cheek thing to say humanity.

02:02:20.420 --> 02:02:20.800
Right.

02:02:22.200 --> 02:02:22.420
As Dr.

02:02:22.440 --> 02:02:31.880
Mahler continues, Jacob notices a trick latch on the side of the storage unit, just like every storage unit he has moved from Callisto to Europa.

02:02:32.580 --> 02:02:46.460
The case of what he thought was all medical equipment pops up, and that reveals a hidden section under a false top, and that section is holding tubes of preserved larva from the alien.

02:02:46.660 --> 02:02:47.640
Oh, damn.

02:02:48.400 --> 02:02:57.620
Jacob has been transporting the larva for the UJC with their intention being unleashing it on people to further their study on evolution.

02:02:58.020 --> 02:02:59.300
What the fuck?

02:02:59.460 --> 02:03:01.620
So just like fuck an entire planet over.

02:03:02.020 --> 02:03:04.400
Yeah, and that's what happened on Europa.

02:03:04.800 --> 02:03:12.180
It was released to the population on Europa, and they had to kill everyone in that area because no one was triggered like subject zero.

02:03:12.600 --> 02:03:15.500
They all just turned into mindless brutes, so they're like, that was a waste.

02:03:15.900 --> 02:03:16.420
Kill them.

02:03:17.120 --> 02:03:19.640
And that's what's happening now at Black Iron.

02:03:20.320 --> 02:03:20.720
Dr.

02:03:20.740 --> 02:03:31.400
Mahler says that subject zero was killed by security forces during the outbreak, but his body was transported back to the Black Iron Lab, forming the bias of the original research program.

02:03:32.680 --> 02:03:40.780
Jacob is having a fucking meltdown, realizing he truly is directly responsible for the deaths and destruction on Europa.

02:03:40.880 --> 02:03:41.300
Yeah.

02:03:41.320 --> 02:03:42.940
That Dani was fucking right.

02:03:43.000 --> 02:03:53.120
He was completely complicit in moving a biohazardous chemical weapon and killing so many people when he thought he was just a fucking postmate.

02:03:53.200 --> 02:03:54.440
He's the fucking terrorist.

02:03:55.160 --> 02:04:00.680
And while he's having this horrible moment, he's interrupted by fucking Ferris.

02:04:01.240 --> 02:04:03.000
God damn Ferris.

02:04:03.260 --> 02:04:05.420
I still need to know how he survived that fucking fall.

02:04:05.920 --> 02:04:08.980
Ferris yells, 5-2-1 at Jacob.

02:04:10.500 --> 02:04:12.900
He says, you and me got unfinished business.

02:04:13.280 --> 02:04:19.400
And I will address how he survives because Ferris does not look like himself or Sam Witwer anymore.

02:04:19.900 --> 02:04:24.460
His skin has rotted off like Deadpool, but he looks buffer and taller.

02:04:25.200 --> 02:04:29.760
His veins are popping off his body and are deep and dark against his gray skin.

02:04:30.460 --> 02:04:33.280
He is evolving with the biophage.

02:04:33.780 --> 02:04:34.940
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

02:04:35.540 --> 02:04:38.700
Somehow Ferris became the next prodigy.

02:04:39.380 --> 02:04:40.900
So he's the new subject Zero.

02:04:41.260 --> 02:04:41.520
Yep.

02:04:42.020 --> 02:04:45.920
Jacob shoots at Ferris and Ferris is completely unbothered by this.

02:04:46.540 --> 02:04:49.640
He says, as you can see, things have changed.

02:04:50.760 --> 02:04:56.060
Dani is in your ear saying she found the surface access door and she's going to work on getting through to it.

02:04:56.340 --> 02:04:58.700
She has to do her hacker magic, so she's not involved.

02:04:58.780 --> 02:04:59.080
Right.

02:04:59.560 --> 02:05:07.200
Now you fight a souped up, infected and mutated Ferris who is truly at the peak of evolution of mankind.

02:05:08.580 --> 02:05:10.140
It's fucking sucks and I loved it.

02:05:10.460 --> 02:05:13.000
He's lost his hair and his temper.

02:05:13.760 --> 02:05:18.220
The battleground here is tight and it's relentless and it's gnarly and I loved it.

02:05:18.240 --> 02:05:20.220
This was a fucking great boss battle.

02:05:20.240 --> 02:05:20.720
Oh, good.

02:05:21.540 --> 02:05:25.220
Instead of beating him, Dani actually gives you an out and you take it.

02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:29.100
She has an elevator and she's like, Jacob, get the fuck in here, we're leaving.

02:05:29.720 --> 02:05:32.540
Ferris says, no one escapes me, no one.

02:05:32.720 --> 02:05:34.580
And as he says this, Jacob escapes him.

02:05:36.120 --> 02:05:42.960
The elevator door closes and Ferris looks on at you through that fucking panel and he's like, I can't get through, god damn it.

02:05:43.240 --> 02:05:47.040
But then he looks past Jacob and says, looks like it's too late.

02:05:47.960 --> 02:05:54.100
Jacob turns around in the elevator to see one of those little crab worm guys sucking Dani's face off.

02:05:57.140 --> 02:06:00.360
She's on her back screaming and kicking and can't get it off of her.

02:06:00.880 --> 02:06:04.820
Jacob runs over and peels it off her face and throws it across the room.

02:06:05.740 --> 02:06:10.060
Ferris says, she was just trying to help you and now she's gonna be one of us.

02:06:10.600 --> 02:06:10.940
What?

02:06:11.820 --> 02:06:14.760
The elevator starts moving and Dani says, she's fine.

02:06:15.100 --> 02:06:16.460
They'll just have to keep moving.

02:06:17.420 --> 02:06:21.080
They make it to a platform that Dani says will take them up to the surface.

02:06:21.700 --> 02:06:26.240
And as they board this platform and Jacob starts getting it moving, Dani collapses.

02:06:27.300 --> 02:06:29.700
She turns and she is infected.

02:06:30.280 --> 02:06:36.900
The biophage pumping through her blood is making her skin pale, her veins dark and her eyes sunken.

02:06:37.220 --> 02:06:38.240
Damn it, Dani.

02:06:39.260 --> 02:06:41.760
Jacob props her up and tells her she's gonna be okay.

02:06:42.020 --> 02:06:44.760
Dani tells herself, this isn't fair.

02:06:45.540 --> 02:06:47.520
She says, I promised I would stop this.

02:06:47.540 --> 02:06:49.380
I can't turn into one of those things.

02:06:50.480 --> 02:06:54.000
Dani reaches for her firearm and Jacob snatches it out of her hands.

02:06:54.400 --> 02:06:56.460
He says, no, we're not doing that.

02:06:56.840 --> 02:06:57.960
We're gonna fix this.

02:06:58.500 --> 02:07:00.740
And Dani reasonably says, how?

02:07:01.660 --> 02:07:03.120
Jacob says, we stick to the plan.

02:07:03.460 --> 02:07:04.820
We go to the warden's tower.

02:07:04.980 --> 02:07:06.140
We find an antidote.

02:07:06.760 --> 02:07:09.240
Dani says, you don't know that there is an antidote.

02:07:09.420 --> 02:07:11.060
You don't know if we can reverse this.

02:07:12.100 --> 02:07:16.280
Jacob admits, you're right, I don't, but I'm not gonna fucking give up now.

02:07:16.900 --> 02:07:19.400
This isn't the point where I say, all right, kill me, Ferris.

02:07:20.460 --> 02:07:22.760
He promises, they're gonna finish this thing together.

02:07:23.900 --> 02:07:27.880
What's left of decaying Dani agrees and gets up to complete the mission.

02:07:28.760 --> 02:07:32.880
The platform arrives and nothing in Dani's memory base knows where they are.

02:07:33.520 --> 02:07:40.100
You can find an audio file here of Warden Cole calling, what happened on Europa, a revelation.

02:07:41.200 --> 02:07:49.180
He's just really excited to report to his eternal life cult that they could potentially evolve into these mutant infected things if they stop beefing the test subjects.

02:07:49.840 --> 02:07:50.240
Sucks.

02:07:50.920 --> 02:07:57.440
The walls do say Black Iron, so they know that they made it out of the colony and they're back, at least on the surface near the prison.

02:07:57.540 --> 02:07:57.920
Yeah.

02:07:58.240 --> 02:08:02.120
Dani sees a control panel and runs to it while Jacob looks for a way to get out of here.

02:08:02.820 --> 02:08:05.720
Dani sees the shoe completely crawling in infection.

02:08:06.420 --> 02:08:10.560
She's like, well, the warden's signal is in the tower, so we should go there.

02:08:11.460 --> 02:08:13.280
That's probably where the shit is.

02:08:13.340 --> 02:08:13.980
Let's do that.

02:08:15.640 --> 02:08:21.700
Dani opens the door from her panel, and as she does, Jacob is grabbed by a security robot.

02:08:22.200 --> 02:08:29.280
The robot says, inmates, return to your cell, as it holds him still and punches him hard in the face.

02:08:29.520 --> 02:08:29.780
Oh.

02:08:30.420 --> 02:08:35.360
As Jacob falls, we see another security robot in the background doing the exact same thing to Dani.

02:08:36.240 --> 02:08:39.700
And so begins the last section of the game, tower.

02:08:39.960 --> 02:08:40.900
Were you knocked out again?

02:08:40.980 --> 02:08:41.300
Yeah.

02:08:41.520 --> 02:08:42.060
Oh, Jesus Christ.

02:08:42.120 --> 02:08:42.380
Jesus Christ.

02:08:42.960 --> 02:08:44.300
Where's our concussion counter?

02:08:45.040 --> 02:08:48.560
Maybe we should have done like a drinking game to the concussions or something.

02:08:48.940 --> 02:08:51.180
Because Jacob's brain is fully rattled.

02:08:51.200 --> 02:08:52.880
Yeah, it is mush.

02:08:52.980 --> 02:08:54.360
He is seeing yellow.

02:08:54.380 --> 02:08:56.960
He is like, I can't make the colors out.

02:08:57.480 --> 02:09:00.020
When you had a concussion, you said you only saw yellow, right?

02:09:00.040 --> 02:09:00.660
Correct, yeah.

02:09:00.680 --> 02:09:01.460
That's wild.

02:09:02.060 --> 02:09:02.940
I had one concussion.

02:09:02.960 --> 02:09:04.180
I really don't remember much of it.

02:09:04.200 --> 02:09:04.980
That's the point.

02:09:05.060 --> 02:09:06.300
Probably because I had a concussion.

02:09:06.320 --> 02:09:07.740
Oh no, I've been concussed twice.

02:09:08.340 --> 02:09:11.420
I think after like three or four, that's when it's like a flag, right?

02:09:11.480 --> 02:09:11.780
Yep.

02:09:11.980 --> 02:09:13.800
Okay, so I got one more in me before.

02:09:13.820 --> 02:09:14.620
We got one more left.

02:09:15.380 --> 02:09:16.860
My punch card's almost done.

02:09:18.480 --> 02:09:23.080
Jacob wakes up as a security robot is throwing him into a cell like a bag of rice.

02:09:23.760 --> 02:09:27.140
He is back in the same cell he started the game in.

02:09:28.300 --> 02:09:31.440
Jacob tries to talk to Dani on comms, but she's not answering.

02:09:31.920 --> 02:09:33.760
He's like, fuck, I don't know what to do.

02:09:34.680 --> 02:09:38.640
And then he hears a woman's voice, but it's not Dani.

02:09:38.980 --> 02:09:39.300
Shit.

02:09:39.760 --> 02:09:40.420
It's Dr.

02:09:40.440 --> 02:09:40.840
Mallard.

02:09:40.860 --> 02:09:41.520
I was gonna say.

02:09:41.980 --> 02:09:43.860
There's only one other woman.

02:09:44.540 --> 02:09:46.020
She tells Jacob to find her.

02:09:46.300 --> 02:09:47.660
He's like, are you Dr.

02:09:47.680 --> 02:09:51.180
Mallard from the surgery I didn't consent to and all the holograms?

02:09:52.020 --> 02:09:57.940
And she says, look, there's not much time, but I have Dani and I can help you get out of your cell, but you need to come to me.

02:09:59.920 --> 02:10:01.400
Jacob asks where Dani is.

02:10:01.580 --> 02:10:05.340
Mallard tells Jacob she's in the Black Iron Lab, but that's not important.

02:10:05.380 --> 02:10:06.500
You just have to be fast.

02:10:06.520 --> 02:10:08.140
Like stop asking questions and run.

02:10:08.880 --> 02:10:12.540
I can cure Dani, but I need your help, and I can also get you the warden.

02:10:12.580 --> 02:10:14.660
I can help out across the board.

02:10:14.880 --> 02:10:15.900
Just please trust me.

02:10:16.960 --> 02:10:21.560
Jacob is like, well, you were a dick, and you gave me surgery against my will.

02:10:22.000 --> 02:10:23.640
Why do you feel like helping me now?

02:10:24.060 --> 02:10:26.920
And she says, stop asking goddamn questions.

02:10:27.580 --> 02:10:28.660
I will see you soon.

02:10:28.680 --> 02:10:30.260
Now because Dr.

02:10:30.280 --> 02:10:35.680
Mallard is a man in the chair, she unlocks the doors and passageways, and Jacob is like, all right, fine.

02:10:36.040 --> 02:10:39.560
So he just has to follow the linear path that she's knocking down for us.

02:10:40.740 --> 02:10:45.960
Along the way, we have another claustrophobic beat down with that fuckface two head.

02:10:46.480 --> 02:10:47.560
There's so many of them.

02:10:47.900 --> 02:10:49.020
Another two head.

02:10:49.040 --> 02:10:50.560
There's so many two heads.

02:10:51.300 --> 02:10:56.400
It's in this smoky server room, so it's super tiny and narrow and horrible to run through.

02:10:56.400 --> 02:10:57.140
I loved it.

02:10:57.520 --> 02:11:02.280
One thing that they're doing is even though they're recycling a boss, it's a different playground.

02:11:02.300 --> 02:11:07.120
So the first time it's this very specific platform with a couple boxes, there's not a lot of cover.

02:11:07.380 --> 02:11:10.240
And then you're in kind of a different arena, and this one's really tight.

02:11:10.260 --> 02:11:15.880
So while you know how to battle them, you adapt to battling them in different environments.

02:11:16.040 --> 02:11:17.380
Okay, so it changes it up enough.

02:11:17.440 --> 02:11:19.360
Yeah, so it doesn't feel dry.

02:11:19.380 --> 02:11:21.200
It just feels like, god damn it.

02:11:21.420 --> 02:11:22.100
That's really cool.

02:11:22.980 --> 02:11:30.960
Following the smoky server room two-head encounter, we get through to the psych ward, because now it's just actually goddamn Outlast.

02:11:31.800 --> 02:11:35.840
But you have guns, so it's even more violent than Outlast, so hell yeah.

02:11:36.700 --> 02:11:40.560
Jacob says that the psych ward looks older than the rest of the prison.

02:11:41.140 --> 02:11:47.140
The infected down here are like super rotting and infected too, so it's kind of extra shitty to be down here.

02:11:48.040 --> 02:11:51.380
Deeper in the rotting psych ward, there's observation rooms.

02:11:51.800 --> 02:11:55.380
Rooms where prisoners were held and studied through big clear doors.

02:11:56.420 --> 02:11:56.800
Dr.

02:11:56.820 --> 02:12:01.300
Mahler pops on comms and is like, you're doing great, sweetie, but you need to go faster.

02:12:01.460 --> 02:12:03.740
Dani is looking worse, like, get it together, man.

02:12:03.760 --> 02:12:04.380
Do it for Dani.

02:12:05.220 --> 02:12:09.720
In this psych ward, Jacob finds a medical wing, complete with some testing labs.

02:12:10.440 --> 02:12:17.800
Here in the psych ward's test lab, we have our final confrontation with goddamn two-headed fuck face, two ass, two head.

02:12:17.960 --> 02:12:18.540
Jesus.

02:12:18.640 --> 02:12:19.900
God, I hate two head.

02:12:19.920 --> 02:12:21.120
He's so goddamn good.

02:12:22.580 --> 02:12:27.440
He's also not alone because there's a ton of rotted test subjects here as well.

02:12:27.460 --> 02:12:28.320
It's fucking great.

02:12:28.340 --> 02:12:30.340
And this one's especially dark.

02:12:30.380 --> 02:12:33.900
Like, it's nearly pitch black, so they're really rolling up on you.

02:12:33.920 --> 02:12:34.840
It's fucking awesome.

02:12:35.660 --> 02:12:36.720
I sound deranged.

02:12:39.040 --> 02:12:40.720
You sound like you're really enjoying the horror.

02:12:40.740 --> 02:12:42.680
I think I'm a horror girlie.

02:12:42.900 --> 02:12:44.540
Just now is when I'm realizing it.

02:12:44.560 --> 02:12:45.440
You're just realizing it.

02:12:45.960 --> 02:12:50.720
After that whole fun thing, Jacob follows a trail of unlocked doors to Dr.

02:12:50.740 --> 02:12:51.720
Mahler and Dani.

02:12:52.260 --> 02:12:55.640
The door trail takes Jacob through a more modernized lab, actually.

02:12:56.060 --> 02:12:58.920
Way nicer than the rot hell hole of the psych ward.

02:12:59.260 --> 02:13:06.360
This is all like titanium and gorgeous and has huge test subject tubes big enough to suspend infected bodies and stasis.

02:13:07.660 --> 02:13:12.200
Along the walls, there are cells similar to the ones in the psych ward with infected prisoners in them.

02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:18.060
Jacob says to himself, at the lab, at the heart of the prison, experimenting on prisoners.

02:13:18.300 --> 02:13:21.360
That figure's like, yeah, Jacob, that's what's happening.

02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:22.900
He's a pilot.

02:13:22.920 --> 02:13:24.060
He's not a detective.

02:13:25.420 --> 02:13:29.540
There's a bunch of actively live infected at different stages being studied.

02:13:30.040 --> 02:13:34.600
He says, it looks like they were trying to see how long it takes to turn after being infected.

02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:37.840
Through the back of the lab, Jacob opens a door.

02:13:38.480 --> 02:13:41.060
The door opens to a wider, darker lab.

02:13:41.080 --> 02:13:48.720
And the first thing we see is an infected body, opened and splayed out, suspended by wires.

02:13:49.240 --> 02:13:55.140
The skin is being held up by cords and cables, and all of the insides are on display.

02:13:55.520 --> 02:13:58.880
It's fucking horrifying.

02:13:59.220 --> 02:14:03.160
If you've seen Midsommar, it's that scene in Midsommar.

02:14:03.460 --> 02:14:05.240
It's fucking gnarly.

02:14:06.260 --> 02:14:09.160
And this is all Jacob can see, and then sees Dr.

02:14:09.180 --> 02:14:11.400
Mahler standing over Dani's body.

02:14:11.840 --> 02:14:13.480
Dani is out cold, and Dr.

02:14:13.500 --> 02:14:17.360
Mahler is administering an inhibitor to slow her infection.

02:14:18.020 --> 02:14:22.480
Jacob runs up and holds a knife to her neck and demands to know if Dr.

02:14:22.500 --> 02:14:24.720
Mahler can really cure Dani.

02:14:24.740 --> 02:14:24.800
Dr.

02:14:24.820 --> 02:14:31.560
Mahler is strangely calm as Jacob holds a knife to her neck, and she says, I can, but I need your help.

02:14:32.240 --> 02:14:33.980
And she needs him to trust her.

02:14:34.540 --> 02:14:39.480
She tells Jacob he's wasting time with this bullshit, and Dani doesn't have much time left.

02:14:40.760 --> 02:14:42.660
Jacob puts his knife down, and Dr.

02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:45.040
Mahler assures Jacob it'll all make sense soon.

02:14:45.660 --> 02:14:53.180
Jacob asks about this, and he dramatically whips out one of the tubes of the alien larva he's been transporting for God knows how long.

02:14:54.180 --> 02:14:55.240
Unflappable, Dr.

02:14:55.260 --> 02:14:58.240
Mahler is like, yeah, well, you saw the recordings on Europa.

02:14:59.200 --> 02:15:02.120
And Jacob is like, yeah, but I don't know what happened.

02:15:02.140 --> 02:15:03.100
I wasn't there.

02:15:03.260 --> 02:15:04.020
Dani was.

02:15:04.080 --> 02:15:07.500
I saw this on the news, and now everything I know is a lie.

02:15:08.100 --> 02:15:11.080
So can you give me like a crumb of context?

02:15:12.080 --> 02:15:12.420
Dr.

02:15:12.440 --> 02:15:17.460
Mahler is like, yeah, you weren't there, but she was there while she gestures to Dani.

02:15:17.940 --> 02:15:20.580
She confirms, are you sure you want to know what happened?

02:15:20.600 --> 02:15:23.620
And Jacob goes, yes, of course I do.

02:15:23.640 --> 02:15:24.580
I've been saying that.

02:15:25.060 --> 02:15:25.440
Dr.

02:15:25.460 --> 02:15:33.140
Mahler says, as you wish, and then explains that soon all of Dani's brain, her memories and mind will be linked with Jacob's.

02:15:33.780 --> 02:15:36.800
Once the sync is complete, they'll know everything about each other.

02:15:37.580 --> 02:15:41.040
She says Dani's memories will give Jacob the answers he seeks.

02:15:41.440 --> 02:15:43.420
Jacob's like, okay, my head hurts.

02:15:43.540 --> 02:15:46.260
I have a migraine, probably from the core connection.

02:15:46.400 --> 02:15:46.800
Yeah.

02:15:46.840 --> 02:15:47.960
But how do I save her?

02:15:48.740 --> 02:15:48.900
Dr.

02:15:48.920 --> 02:15:51.140
Mahler hands a medical injector to Jacob.

02:15:51.640 --> 02:15:57.780
She says, you can use this to synthesize an antidote, but you'll need to extract a sample from the warden's alpha.

02:15:58.420 --> 02:15:59.880
Jacob says, his what?

02:16:00.940 --> 02:16:01.300
Dr.

02:16:01.320 --> 02:16:05.300
Mahler says, his goal in all this, his reason for the protocol.

02:16:06.200 --> 02:16:17.120
Then she lore dumps that during the original outbreak in the Arcus colony, a colonist known as Subject Zero demonstrated the unique ability to synthesize the biophage and control it.

02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:23.340
That's how they were able to get all those great pieces of like getting strong and agile and still maintaining their mind.

02:16:23.940 --> 02:16:27.600
She walks Jacob over to the body that splayed up in the air in the lab.

02:16:28.380 --> 02:16:28.780
Dr.

02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:34.660
Mahler introduces Jacob to, in her words, the next phase of human evolution.

02:16:35.680 --> 02:16:39.280
Unfortunately, he was killed during the Arcus sterilization.

02:16:40.100 --> 02:16:40.460
Dr.

02:16:40.480 --> 02:16:49.700
Mahler continues, and now the warden seeks to replicate the conditions of the original outbreak, hoping to recreate Subject Zero as Subject Alpha.

02:16:50.500 --> 02:16:53.220
Jacob is like, by releasing it in a prison?

02:16:53.500 --> 02:16:54.460
What the fuck?

02:16:55.300 --> 02:16:55.680
Dr.

02:16:55.700 --> 02:17:01.820
Mahler quotes Warden Cole himself, and she says, as he says, evolution doesn't happen in a lab.

02:17:02.100 --> 02:17:03.540
It happens in the wild.

02:17:04.600 --> 02:17:17.360
The Callisto Protocol itself was to release the infection in the prison in hopes of spawning something, becoming infected, and being able to maintain their intelligence and mind through the infection process and truly evolve.

02:17:17.960 --> 02:17:19.700
Like biological terraforming?

02:17:20.740 --> 02:17:22.460
Jacob is like, how could he do this?

02:17:22.480 --> 02:17:24.300
This is way too much to cover up.

02:17:24.320 --> 02:17:25.600
It's a fucking prison.

02:17:25.620 --> 02:17:26.020
Yeah.

02:17:26.400 --> 02:17:26.800
Dr.

02:17:26.820 --> 02:17:30.120
Mahler tells Jacob that Warden Cole is not acting alone.

02:17:30.640 --> 02:17:33.420
He's part of a group that dates back centuries.

02:17:33.920 --> 02:17:37.440
They're a group dedicated to guiding the process of human.

02:17:37.440 --> 02:17:38.760
Oh my God, Dani is waking up.

02:17:38.780 --> 02:17:43.300
Hey, Dani, so you know those secret rooms with the red flags?

02:17:44.160 --> 02:17:45.120
Red flags.

02:17:45.800 --> 02:17:46.200
Dr.

02:17:46.220 --> 02:17:49.880
Mahler runs to Dani's side, and on the way tells Jacob to be careful.

02:17:50.480 --> 02:17:57.420
Not because he could die, but because once synthesized, the antidote will contain the pure essence of the Warden's alpha.

02:17:58.060 --> 02:18:00.100
The Warden will want it more than anything.

02:18:00.780 --> 02:18:03.820
It's the genetic key to everything Warden Cole wants.

02:18:04.860 --> 02:18:06.820
Jacob says, all right, well, what about you?

02:18:08.160 --> 02:18:08.300
Dr.

02:18:08.320 --> 02:18:11.040
Moller turns and says, I played my part in this.

02:18:11.960 --> 02:18:13.680
I belong here in Black Iron.

02:18:14.480 --> 02:18:16.080
She turns and leaves into the lab.

02:18:17.280 --> 02:18:21.080
Jacob walks up to Dani, who's sitting up now, and the two set off to finish this.

02:18:21.700 --> 02:18:24.840
Dani says, it feels like there's something in her head trying to take over.

02:18:25.700 --> 02:18:26.940
Jacob tells her to hold on.

02:18:26.960 --> 02:18:27.920
They're almost at the end.

02:18:28.260 --> 02:18:30.080
And that's also a promise to you if you're listening.

02:18:31.200 --> 02:18:33.920
Jacob and Dani head to the Warden in his tower.

02:18:34.580 --> 02:18:39.340
Going up to the Warden's office, it's clean, it's white, it's bright, and there's no infected.

02:18:39.740 --> 02:18:42.140
There's actually some like artifacts and shit on display.

02:18:42.160 --> 02:18:42.940
It's kind of douchey.

02:18:44.020 --> 02:18:49.560
As Jacob gets closer and opens a door, he hears a notice in his head that the data transfer is complete.

02:18:50.500 --> 02:19:00.020
As Jacob turns his head, he finds himself no longer in the Warden's tower, but in Europa, in what's essentially a brain dance of Dani's memory of the Europa incident.

02:19:01.160 --> 02:19:01.300
Dr.

02:19:01.320 --> 02:19:10.880
Mahler's voice comes on in his head and tells him that the Europa incident was a result of a diluted test sample being released from their lab.

02:19:11.420 --> 02:19:16.520
She calls it the tragedy that inspired Warden Cole to use Black Iron as a test.

02:19:17.760 --> 02:19:23.960
In this memory, Jacob walks around to a small glowing purple box, the same one we've seen over and over again.

02:19:24.700 --> 02:19:30.360
As he gets closer, he sees the body of Max, and Max attacks him, knocking him to the ground.

02:19:30.520 --> 02:19:31.880
No, two-faced Max.

02:19:32.440 --> 02:19:33.020
Exactly.

02:19:33.720 --> 02:19:39.860
Max holds Jacob's head and screams, look at it, and holds Jacob's head towards the ground.

02:19:40.440 --> 02:19:44.040
Jacob looks and all he sees is a small glowing purple box.

02:19:44.720 --> 02:19:46.400
Max screams, do you see?

02:19:46.420 --> 02:19:47.580
Do you see?

02:19:48.880 --> 02:19:55.680
When Jacob reaches out for the small glowing purple box in his hand, the box transforms into the sample tube of the larva.

02:19:56.320 --> 02:20:03.000
It flickers back and forth between the box and being the larva sample, and then the memory shifts to one of Jacob's.

02:20:04.000 --> 02:20:08.480
Jacob sees Max come into his ship storage area and asks Jacob what he's got there.

02:20:09.260 --> 02:20:19.020
Jacob has opened a UJC storage box that they were commissioned to move, and he's looked under the first layer of medical supplies to see what he was really transporting.

02:20:19.900 --> 02:20:23.660
He's found one of the test tubes, and up until now, he's pretending he didn't.

02:20:24.000 --> 02:20:24.720
Oh, shit.

02:20:24.920 --> 02:20:31.140
Now, he doesn't necessarily know exactly what this is, but he knows it's not the medical supplies he was signed up to transport.

02:20:32.340 --> 02:20:39.440
He then thinks about how this job is paying him enough to comfortably retire, and he tells Max that what we've got here is none of our business.

02:20:40.520 --> 02:20:49.280
We flash back to Dani's memory on Europa, and Jacob watches as Dani walks the city streets, stunned silent by the devastation and the death.

02:20:49.920 --> 02:20:53.580
She sees one woman's body lying on the ground and runs to her.

02:20:54.000 --> 02:20:56.640
Dani is frantic and says, no.

02:20:57.860 --> 02:21:06.380
She hugs her sister's limp dead body for the last time and cries that she tried to protect her, that her sister didn't deserve this.

02:21:06.980 --> 02:21:17.560
Jacob puts it together that Europa was never a terrorist attack, that the footage was all doctored to blame Dani, but it was actually a test run of what Warren Cole was gonna do at Black Iron.

02:21:18.720 --> 02:21:20.260
He says he could have stopped it.

02:21:20.700 --> 02:21:24.000
He could have prevented this, but he didn't, he wanted the money.

02:21:25.060 --> 02:21:26.760
Jacob settles on making it right.

02:21:27.360 --> 02:21:35.340
We cut back to real time and on the way up through the tower, Dani collapses in pain and Jacob promises he'll be back with the cure.

02:21:36.520 --> 02:21:40.640
Through more doors and hallways, Jacob makes it to Warren Cole's office.

02:21:41.480 --> 02:21:44.400
Warden is on a Zoom call with a masked council.

02:21:44.980 --> 02:21:49.100
As Jacob enters the room, Warren Cole says, there he is, right on time.

02:21:49.740 --> 02:21:51.880
He calls Jacob the Survivor.

02:21:52.960 --> 02:21:54.040
The council agrees.

02:21:54.280 --> 02:21:57.460
They say, the Survivor, Ver Solo Terrace.

02:21:57.880 --> 02:22:05.840
Ver Solo Terrace means soul survivor or kind of last man standing in Latin, which is the concept of a battle royale game.

02:22:05.860 --> 02:22:07.040
I was going to say of PUBG.

02:22:07.860 --> 02:22:12.700
So that's, you know, that and the Paramo elements are pretty much the PUBG illusions.

02:22:12.720 --> 02:22:20.280
There's one PUBG helmet that you can find at one point in the game, but they were pretty good about making this its own thing with just some light Easter eggs.

02:22:22.420 --> 02:22:26.920
Jacob doesn't care that he's their fucking survivor and raises his gun to Warden Cole.

02:22:27.320 --> 02:22:29.220
He says he needs the goddamn antidote.

02:22:29.420 --> 02:22:30.860
He's not going to let her die.

02:22:31.880 --> 02:22:33.600
Warden Cole is like, what, your friend?

02:22:34.020 --> 02:22:36.260
I've been watching you two through this whole thing.

02:22:36.960 --> 02:22:39.940
Jacob is like, why are you letting people fucking die?

02:22:40.940 --> 02:22:43.560
Warden Cole says the protocol isn't about death.

02:22:44.200 --> 02:22:45.020
It's about life.

02:22:45.760 --> 02:22:47.400
Humans weren't meant for space.

02:22:47.480 --> 02:22:49.340
We have to evolve to survive.

02:22:50.400 --> 02:22:54.660
Warden Cole then says there's one more contest to determine the true survivor.

02:22:55.200 --> 02:22:59.220
Humanity being Jacob, or evolution is Alpha.

02:23:00.040 --> 02:23:07.480
He gestures to a door which opens to reveal a fully evolved or perhaps infected Captain Ferris.

02:23:07.920 --> 02:23:08.940
God damn it.

02:23:10.680 --> 02:23:19.600
Of course, Captain Ferris was the only one that was infected and able to optimize the biophage infection and mutate while retaining his god damn brain.

02:23:21.300 --> 02:23:26.380
Captain fuck face Ferris says, well, well, well, 521.

02:23:27.380 --> 02:23:30.300
What is he got in god damnly miserable?

02:23:30.360 --> 02:23:31.260
I was thinking Mr.

02:23:31.300 --> 02:23:32.760
Anderson, like he's in The Matrix.

02:23:34.600 --> 02:23:38.980
He says at first he thought this was a curse, but then he realized it was a gift.

02:23:39.720 --> 02:23:45.300
Ferris says the warden has shown him his purpose, and now he's gonna show you, Jacob.

02:23:46.740 --> 02:23:50.960
In this fight against Captain Ferris, he is immediately more aggressive than last time.

02:23:51.260 --> 02:23:55.160
He is swiping and sprinting after you, and he is completely relentless.

02:23:55.800 --> 02:24:01.620
Captain Ferris gets the better of Jacob and stands on top of him saying, I'm superior, I beat everyone.

02:24:02.280 --> 02:24:05.660
And then he starts feeling pain, pulse through his mutated body.

02:24:06.500 --> 02:24:09.180
Out loud, Ferris says, what's happening?

02:24:09.700 --> 02:24:15.360
And your boss battle goes from a regular boss battle and evolves into a larger boss battle.

02:24:15.840 --> 02:24:16.340
Oh shit.

02:24:16.880 --> 02:24:18.600
Captain Ferris mutates further.

02:24:18.880 --> 02:24:22.620
His skin peels and splits the way the skin of a tangerine does.

02:24:23.160 --> 02:24:28.820
Through his body, bloated muscles burst out and he reaches a new form of high revolution.

02:24:29.360 --> 02:24:33.560
He becomes huge, nine or 10 feet tall and looking more monster than man.

02:24:34.340 --> 02:24:39.340
His body glows like embers and his jaw hangs open as he pants like a dog.

02:24:39.840 --> 02:24:44.340
Crazy ass mutated Ferris says, there's always a price to pay.

02:24:45.400 --> 02:24:49.720
His mutated flesh is rotten hard and is better shielding than we've ever seen.

02:24:50.100 --> 02:24:52.260
He's bulky, but he's incredibly fast.

02:24:52.520 --> 02:24:58.160
He throws acid spit and if he gets too close, he will 100% one hit kill Jacob.

02:24:58.260 --> 02:24:58.820
Oh shit.

02:24:58.900 --> 02:25:02.960
The lights start to flicker and lower and then eventually go completely out.

02:25:03.280 --> 02:25:10.440
So not only are you being hunted in this arena, you're being hunted in the dark by someone who's slightly faster than you.

02:25:10.460 --> 02:25:11.160
Oh shit.

02:25:11.400 --> 02:25:17.780
Acidic infected can come up through the woodwork and pop and throw acid at you and explode at you.

02:25:18.040 --> 02:25:19.540
It is so fucking gnarly.

02:25:19.560 --> 02:25:23.120
It's so difficult and it was awesome and felt so good to finish.

02:25:24.020 --> 02:25:25.340
It sounds like a real barrage.

02:25:27.080 --> 02:25:33.340
Truly like the escalation of all the battles in this are worthy and they make you feel so good.

02:25:34.500 --> 02:25:39.560
After a very long battle, Captain Ferris falls to his knees and stops moving.

02:25:40.320 --> 02:25:48.360
Jacob catches his breath and then plunges the antidote device into Captain Ferris' eyeball and pulls the plunger.

02:25:49.000 --> 02:25:58.880
The DNA of the Alpha who is able to evolve alongside the infection is now mixing with the antidote and will work on Dani to make her overcome her infection.

02:25:59.720 --> 02:26:01.900
Jacob says to himself, hold on, Dani.

02:26:02.540 --> 02:26:04.720
Beside Jacob now is Warden Cole.

02:26:05.180 --> 02:26:10.040
He says the Ferris was weak in an imperfect vessel, immediately talking shit.

02:26:10.340 --> 02:26:16.540
But what's in that vessel is the key to unlocking a centuries old dream, and it belongs to him.

02:26:17.500 --> 02:26:18.500
Jacob says, no.

02:26:19.460 --> 02:26:21.520
Warden Cole says, shut up and gimme that.

02:26:21.940 --> 02:26:23.440
Leave the sample and walk away.

02:26:23.740 --> 02:26:25.540
There's an escape pod right there.

02:26:26.000 --> 02:26:27.620
You can go home back to your life.

02:26:28.140 --> 02:26:29.840
We both get everything we want.

02:26:30.560 --> 02:26:31.520
So tell me, Mr.

02:26:31.540 --> 02:26:33.600
Lee, tell me what you want.

02:26:34.660 --> 02:26:36.480
Dani enters, gun drawn.

02:26:36.720 --> 02:26:38.620
She says, I'll tell you what I want.

02:26:38.960 --> 02:26:40.620
I want my sister back, fuck her.

02:26:40.920 --> 02:26:41.780
And she shoots.

02:26:41.980 --> 02:26:47.820
She unloads an entire fucking clip into Warden Cole, and then falls to her knees.

02:26:47.980 --> 02:26:49.440
Fuck yeah.

02:26:49.460 --> 02:26:52.880
That is a serious, like, the Princess Bride moment.

02:26:53.620 --> 02:26:59.340
Each shot goes straight through Warden Cole as we see his hologram flicker through the bullets.

02:26:59.780 --> 02:27:00.860
He was never there.

02:27:00.980 --> 02:27:03.440
Jesus, fuck no.

02:27:03.460 --> 02:27:05.340
I'm so sorry for the whiplash.

02:27:06.300 --> 02:27:07.560
Oh shit.

02:27:07.900 --> 02:27:10.180
I was so excited for that moment.

02:27:10.340 --> 02:27:11.460
That's how it feels.

02:27:11.560 --> 02:27:14.440
Cause you're like, fuck yeah, Dani, you're the baddest bitch.

02:27:14.460 --> 02:27:16.940
And then she collapses out of all this exhaustion.

02:27:17.240 --> 02:27:21.600
And you look up and he's just like flickering, like, all right, fucking what's up?

02:27:21.620 --> 02:27:22.400
I'm Princess Leia.

02:27:22.420 --> 02:27:23.200
That was useless.

02:27:23.300 --> 02:27:29.340
Yeah, he tells her it was a valiant effort, but you know by now that I never lose.

02:27:30.780 --> 02:27:33.720
Dani is collapsed and Jacob runs to her with the antidote.

02:27:34.080 --> 02:27:36.820
Jacob says, no, this time you do.

02:27:37.540 --> 02:27:39.860
He shoots the antidote into Dani's neck.

02:27:40.400 --> 02:27:46.360
As the vial is unleashed into Dani's veins, she opens her eyes and catches her breath in deep inhales.

02:27:47.240 --> 02:27:48.960
Warden Cole heckles them.

02:27:49.380 --> 02:27:51.560
What a waste, all this to save one life.

02:27:52.020 --> 02:27:53.220
Don't think you've stopped us.

02:27:53.520 --> 02:27:57.140
The data gathered here will carry the protocol to the next phase.

02:27:57.920 --> 02:28:03.960
As for you, the security voice comes over and says the self-destruct sequence has been initiated.

02:28:04.020 --> 02:28:06.300
There's always a self-destruct sequence.

02:28:07.140 --> 02:28:10.620
Warden Cole hit the button to burn all of Callisto to the ground.

02:28:11.940 --> 02:28:15.880
Warden Cole's hologram walks out of the room after saying a cryptic goodbye.

02:28:16.500 --> 02:28:17.240
Goodbye, Ms.

02:28:17.260 --> 02:28:17.840
Nakamura.

02:28:18.620 --> 02:28:18.780
Mr.

02:28:18.800 --> 02:28:21.660
Lee, I hope you enjoyed your stay at Black Iron.

02:28:21.940 --> 02:28:23.000
What the fuck, man?

02:28:23.100 --> 02:28:24.100
Like it's a hotel?

02:28:24.160 --> 02:28:26.100
Yeah, leave me five stars.

02:28:26.600 --> 02:28:31.320
Jacob leads Dani to the escape pod that Warden Cole mentioned, hoping it wasn't a lie.

02:28:32.020 --> 02:28:37.380
Dani and Jacob hurry down a long hallway and only find one escape pod.

02:28:38.020 --> 02:28:40.140
Jacob says, there's only one.

02:28:41.020 --> 02:28:48.220
He takes a beat, and then in one motion, Jacob opens the door, grabs Dani by the shoulders, and shoves her inside the escape pod.

02:28:48.880 --> 02:28:55.480
The pod automatically locks Dani into a safety harness guard, and she is confused at what all is happening so fucking quick.

02:28:56.100 --> 02:28:59.320
Dani yells out, what, you don't know what you're doing, which is true.

02:29:00.740 --> 02:29:07.200
Jacob says, he didn't, but now he knows he's responsible, and he can't keep running from what he's done.

02:29:08.100 --> 02:29:10.840
He looks Dani in her eyes, and he says, he belongs here.

02:29:12.040 --> 02:29:18.520
Dani knows she can't change this, as her escape pod is already starting the takeoff sequence, but she says, no, Jacob.

02:29:19.080 --> 02:29:21.920
And she yells for him as her pod takes off into space.

02:29:22.940 --> 02:29:27.580
Jacob breaks eye contact with her first, as he is approached by a horde of infected.

02:29:28.700 --> 02:29:33.900
Dani shoots up in the sky, and soon she's far, far, far above Black Iron Prison.

02:29:34.620 --> 02:29:36.900
And for the first time, it's quiet.

02:29:38.060 --> 02:29:40.880
Dani's core says that her data transfer is complete.

02:29:41.860 --> 02:29:46.400
Now, just like Jacob has all of her memories, she has all of Jacob's as well.

02:29:46.520 --> 02:29:47.160
Oh, shit.

02:29:48.000 --> 02:29:52.320
As she ascends, she realized Jacob had slipped her of sample vial of the larva.

02:29:52.960 --> 02:29:54.900
She holds it in her hands and looks down.

02:29:56.140 --> 02:30:01.860
She realizes also that Jacob is gonna die on Black Iron, but he gave her enough to tell the truth.

02:30:02.880 --> 02:30:06.420
She wonders if this is an attempt at redemption, but whatever.

02:30:07.080 --> 02:30:08.600
She just hopes he found some peace.

02:30:10.200 --> 02:30:16.100
Back on Callisto, Jacob has slain every infected that came to him after sending Dani off in that escape pod.

02:30:16.820 --> 02:30:19.120
He catches his breath and a hologram of Dr.

02:30:19.140 --> 02:30:19.860
Mahler appears.

02:30:20.520 --> 02:30:24.720
She says, Jacob, there might be a way out of this after all, but I'm gonna need your help.

02:30:26.000 --> 02:30:26.520
The Dr.

02:30:26.540 --> 02:30:32.640
Mahler hologram is interrupted as Captain Ferris steps through her screaming in Jacob's face.

02:30:33.900 --> 02:30:36.040
And that's how The Callisto Protocol ends.

02:30:36.400 --> 02:30:38.380
What the fuck, really?

02:30:39.920 --> 02:30:42.380
That's not like one of 12 endings?

02:30:42.600 --> 02:30:43.940
Okay, yeah, there's one ending.

02:30:44.180 --> 02:30:45.360
There's one ending.

02:30:45.600 --> 02:30:46.900
Okay, but there is DLC.

02:30:47.160 --> 02:30:48.140
Okay, good.

02:30:48.340 --> 02:30:53.980
In June of 2023, the DLC, The Callisto Protocol Final Transmission was released.

02:30:54.040 --> 02:30:57.580
And this DLC ties everything up and is seen as the true ending.

02:30:58.720 --> 02:31:05.080
And now in October of 2023, The Callisto Protocol is available on PlayStation Plus for spooky season.

02:31:05.500 --> 02:31:07.180
It's nearly a year after release.

02:31:07.260 --> 02:31:12.880
It works, it runs, and the whole last story, including the DLC, is available to play in one sitting if you want.

02:31:13.120 --> 02:31:13.660
Wonderful.

02:31:15.000 --> 02:31:16.560
So that is the game.

02:31:16.620 --> 02:31:18.880
And I haven't gotten to the DLC yet.

02:31:18.900 --> 02:31:21.260
I'm actually a little backed up on games that I'm playing right now.

02:31:21.280 --> 02:31:26.480
But if you guys are curious or you wanna talk to me about it on the Discord, I'd be happy to, and I could run through it if you want.

02:31:26.900 --> 02:31:30.140
But yeah, that is The Callisto Protocol.

02:31:30.420 --> 02:31:34.560
God damn, that is a sudden, jarring ending too.

02:31:34.840 --> 02:31:42.240
Oh, I mean, when you think about the ending of Dead Space, it's Isaac Clarke leaving and being like, holy shit, and then being attacked by a ghost, Nicole.

02:31:42.340 --> 02:31:42.720
True.

02:31:42.900 --> 02:31:52.300
So there's the parallel in that, there's that last parallel in the very last moment of like, maybe a moment of hope or serenity being interrupted by something screaming at you.

02:31:52.420 --> 02:31:52.800
Right.

02:31:53.540 --> 02:31:58.180
Oh, it's a fucking ride, and it got knocked a lot, but you know what?

02:31:58.200 --> 02:31:59.400
I kind of stand for it.

02:32:00.040 --> 02:32:00.720
Well, that's good.

02:32:00.740 --> 02:32:02.180
I hope a lot of people get to play it now.

02:32:02.620 --> 02:32:05.900
I do too, you know, now being on PlayStation Plus, this opens doors.

02:32:05.920 --> 02:32:07.020
It's so fucking great.

02:32:07.060 --> 02:32:10.260
And you know, I don't know where Dr.

02:32:10.360 --> 02:32:19.720
Glenn Schofield will go after this, but I'm excited to see what he has next, because I think this is an important creator, especially in horror gaming, that doesn't rely on jump scares.

02:32:19.740 --> 02:32:22.480
It doesn't rely on like, ooh, creepy pasta.

02:32:22.500 --> 02:32:28.000
It's an interesting story where it builds on itself, and his game design is incredible.

02:32:28.100 --> 02:32:30.880
He's a legend for a reason, and I want to see what happens next.

02:32:31.520 --> 02:32:38.820
I am always fascinated by so many sci-fi stories being about something terrible happened somewhere, and we have to keep it quiet.

02:32:40.440 --> 02:32:43.660
A lot of political notes in sci-fi, huh?

02:32:43.680 --> 02:32:45.560
Yeah.

02:32:45.580 --> 02:32:48.900
So this is my last one of this season.

02:32:48.920 --> 02:32:51.260
You have our season finale coming up next week.

02:32:51.320 --> 02:32:54.960
And nobody on the Discord has even remotely guessed it yet.

02:32:55.080 --> 02:32:55.880
Oh, that's true.

02:32:55.900 --> 02:32:56.740
It's an old game.

02:32:56.920 --> 02:32:59.500
It is the oldest game I think we might cover ever.

02:32:59.520 --> 02:33:00.420
But it's a classic.

02:33:00.500 --> 02:33:01.000
It is.

02:33:01.800 --> 02:33:06.760
But with this being my last game of the season, I just wanted to leave all my friends here on a note.

02:33:07.040 --> 02:33:10.860
Just remember, you can't control the storm, but you can control the sails.

02:33:11.260 --> 02:33:12.920
Thank you all so much for your support.

02:33:12.940 --> 02:33:19.540
And just know that even though you can't see me, I'm giving you a big auditory hug every episode, and I'm so grateful for all of you.

02:33:19.760 --> 02:33:22.500
And I'm proud to be someone that you choose to spend your time with.

02:33:22.600 --> 02:33:22.920
Yes.

02:33:22.940 --> 02:33:26.360
Thank you so much for choosing to listen to us, honestly.

02:33:26.480 --> 02:33:28.240
You are all so much greater than you realize.

02:33:28.760 --> 02:33:32.420
And I think about how much I adore anyone who listens to this every day.

02:33:32.640 --> 02:33:34.740
Truly, thank you for making my life better.

02:33:35.460 --> 02:33:36.900
Thank you for spending time with me.

02:33:37.200 --> 02:33:46.740
Yeah, honestly, this eccentric, weird hobby that we started just for ourselves, the fact that there are now people listening to us and giving a shit about it is pretty amazing.

02:33:46.740 --> 02:33:49.180
And honestly, we couldn't be more grateful if we tried.

02:33:49.440 --> 02:33:59.740
Yeah, and if that made you happy or brought you some joy, I'd appreciate if you'd throw us a like or a subscribe and just know that we will be here for you no matter how weird it gets.

02:33:59.880 --> 02:34:01.160
Yeah, definitely.

02:34:01.180 --> 02:34:05.880
But we still do have one more episode, so make sure you go to our website, theothercastlepodcast.com.

02:34:05.880 --> 02:34:07.760
That's theothercastlepodcast.com.

02:34:07.940 --> 02:34:12.620
Over there, you can definitely make sure that you subscribe to us on whatever platform you'd like to listen to us on.

02:34:12.940 --> 02:34:16.240
You can also sign up for our Patreon, where it's just $2 a month.

02:34:16.460 --> 02:34:22.100
We will be airing monthly episodes during the off season, so you can still listen to The Other Castle all year long.

02:34:22.200 --> 02:34:28.300
Yeah, and if you are subscribed, you'll get an automatic update when the next season starts, so stay tuned and we'll come back when we're ready.

02:34:28.440 --> 02:34:33.040
But until then, I'd love to especially thank the people that helped produce this episode.

02:34:33.460 --> 02:34:36.080
That'd be Paul, Omar, Aaron.

02:34:36.540 --> 02:34:38.740
Cyrus, Trevor, Molly.

02:34:38.880 --> 02:34:40.640
Krisha, Molly Mock, Jackie.

02:34:40.900 --> 02:34:42.340
Ellen and Tijen.

02:34:42.360 --> 02:34:44.160
Thank you all so, so much.

02:34:44.340 --> 02:34:47.160
I had a blast this season, and I'm so grateful for all of you.

02:34:47.420 --> 02:34:48.660
Yes, thank you so much.

02:34:48.680 --> 02:34:52.160
We'll see you over on Discord, see you over on Instagram.

02:34:52.500 --> 02:34:55.820
Thank you so much, Goombas, for being here, and we appreciate you listening.

02:34:56.260 --> 02:34:58.540
And in the meantime, this is Tom and Andrea reminding you.

02:34:59.000 --> 02:35:01.640
Don't take the weird job just because it pays a little better.

02:35:01.660 --> 02:35:03.320
Think about your mental and physical health.

02:35:03.640 --> 02:35:05.000
And don't skip the cutscenes.

02:35:05.180 --> 02:35:05.800
Also that.

02:35:06.420 --> 02:35:07.300
Thanks, everyone.

02:35:07.900 --> 02:35:08.460
Bye!
