Oh God the cringe is real.

Please tell me the third Halloween episode won't be another FMV game, Ross.

I laughed so hard that now my liver hurts.

 

P.S. the stock scream at 35:19 reminded me of Ross's Deathtrap Dungeon stream.

Alright everyone, you know the drill.

Who was the real master vampire?

What VM are you using, Ross?

I am really satisfied with the length of the episodes right now. 35 minutes was long for 2013 but nowadays its considered medium-short. I feel like if this episode and the last were 50 minutes instead, they would be ruined from being longer than they need. Hopefully the main event will be long, and warrant it too.

Look, I don't hate the format, but at this point you might as well change the name of the show from "game dungeon" to "haloween dungeon"...

I remember this one being not half bad, all things considered. Especially the final confrontation.

For being a trashy low-budget FMV game, I'm surprised at how open-ended this is. I think I agree with Ross that it's a philosophy you don't see a lot of anymore. Only in the 90s would you find it in a game like this.

This is legendary.

Is Ross going through Zomb's lair catalogue? It feels like most of the recent games are coming straight from there.

Maybe the developers liked Mac because it's the true Goth OS

That stinger at the end.  Zoom in. "Aaaaah!"  Zoom out.  Relax for a beat.  Run away.

 

Amazing acting.

My understanding is that the hero tried to drink that girl like a yet another blood vessel, hence the zoom in (which is how the game portrayed bloodsucking before), but failed to notice the plexiglass wall separating them and just hit his face against it instead. This happened to me a couple of times too (I mean hitting my face against a glass wall, not drinking blood).

"Last man standing gets to keep all the noise." OK, I think I missed something. Was that a code you were told to give or something?

 

Also, big slow clap for the developers for making the player character have the absolute worst voice acting of not just this game, but possibly of any game ever made. In fact, I kept waffling back and forth between thinking he must be, and couldn't possibly be, just a text-to-speech program. Are there credits? I really want to know if he has a credited voice actor. It wouldn't surprise me if the original plan was to just do what most games did back then and actually have the player pick from a list of lines, with no voice acting since the fact that you'd already read the one you're choosing would render it redundant... only to have the publisher demand voice acting at the last minute so they just fired up a text-to-speech program in lieu of having time and/or money left to hire and record somebody. But I also don't think they had text-to-speech programs that sophisticated in the '90s.
