I translated that newspaper, it's just a reference to slenderman MISSING CHILDREN Children have been missing in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for the third year in a row. The police do not find any clues. Eyewitnesses who claim to have seen the kidnapper describe him as follows: a white mask on his face, very tall - more than two meters and a straggly business black suit with a red tie. Kidnappings take place in villages and villages, the kidnapper did not appear in the city.

This is like a horror version of postal 2, in that game you can either do things totally normally and have near to no issues, like lining up in the queue in the convenience store to buy milk, or you can unleash absolute hell and kill everyone in that line, which turns into you battling jihads trying to suicide bomb you. Love that game.

Hello again Librarian, I'm really glad you enjoyed this map! You did miss a few things but I don't blame you, there's so much to find on this map. Some things to check out: -That drawn door you found does lead to something... Uh, well I think I'll let you find out on your own :p. Anyways you can access it by crouch jumping onto objects on the other side of the store, you may need to walk into it rather than interact with it. -In the alleyway before entering the garage, zoom into some of the windows overlooking the alley. -you can catch a glimpse of what's behind the counter of the store if you go to the far side of the building (same way to reach that drawn door) -That paper you found can be picked up if interacted with, there are seven others to find around the map. -if you stare into the bathroom mirror long enough something will happen. -if you go around your apartment complex and follow the stone path in the trees you'll find a bus stop, wait there for a few seconds. Once again I'm glad you played this map sir, always a pleasure to watch your content. That's all I can remember off the top of my head, if anyone else knows what else there is to find go ahead and comment them below!

Here's what you missed : > SCP-087 Ending in the basement. You go too deep down, put in a corridor and a monster appears and resets the map. > Backrooms. Next to the garage, there is a small opening in the concrete which TPs you to the backrooms. Idk if there is a ending there but it's there. Also at the train station is another hole you can fall through if I remember. > Dev Credit Room. Idk how to access it tbh. It's shown to be a room with flashing lights in the window. > Weeb Room, same as Dev Room. Just a small room with a bodypillow on a bed and anime memes. > Bus Station behind the building, has a car that drives by. > Slender Ending. Collect some pages around, I forgot what goes on tbh but 8 Pages audio plays during it.

"Hair of the dog" or "hair of the dog that bit me" is an alcoholic's euphemism for more alcohol after waking up hungover. The philosophy behind it is that you can't be hung over if you're still drunk. It was featured in Jack's first golden ballroom scene in The Shining.

Man is the embodiment of “ask and you shall receive”

Don't think anyone mentioned this, but at around 16:22 there's a QR code on the right side, on the container door - it leads to a VK (basically Russian Facebook) page for a GMOD map making group (I'd guess that the author of the map is a part of this group); it's a very neat little easter egg.

17:59 I can't believe The Librarian completely ignored the graffiti of the first level of the original Super Mario Bros even though he looked right at it.

The fact that there are people watching this video, who weren't even alive in 2001 and can't truely relate to this is making me feel really old

Hearing The Librarian say "BRUUUH" caught me off guard

The moment you see that carpet on the wall - you know it's somewhere on the post-Soviet territory :D For me as for somebody who grew up and lives in Russia, the map feels even more nostalgic. It may look similar to gm_russia but not because of references or inspiration, but because it's actually all the same in real life. Even the central streets of some cities look similar to others not to mention outskirts. Same building designs, same rows of garages (So-called "garage cooperatives"), same 24h grocery stores (nowadays getting replaced by huge supermarket networks). There is even a Soviet-era movie where a man without noticing goes to Leningrad instead of Moscow by accident and gets into the exact same building at the exact same address and even opens the apartment with his own key, then falls asleep among the furniture with the exact same design as in his own apartment only to be awakened by a stranger who actually lives there. Thank you for the video!

I feel like you're absolutely right with the centralization of the internet having a few more drawbacks than benefits. Yes, we're safer now. Yes, we're better educated. But we're also seeing, one, the internet get more and more sanitized for the sake of advertisers who don't want to touch "dirty" things, two, a decline on actually thinking and learning for oneself due to people thrusting information down your throat and expecting you not to do your own research, and three, an overall death of self-expression on one's own terms as they have to fit the sterile layouts of many sites....

5:52 oh my god this reminds me so much of my grandmothers apartment in Silesia, Its as if i can actually smell the place by just looking at it. For some reason i find Soviet style architecture very comforting

There's something about the low poly retro aesthetic that really seems very inviting to me and I think that particular style makes it great for horror styled games equally as good as ones that have an aesthetic to look like the Source games.

19:14 Missing children For the third year in a row children disappear in the Krasnoyarsk region. The police are clueless. Witnesses, who claim to have seen the kidnapper, describe him as a tall man - taller than 7 feet - wearing a black suit with a red tie and a white mask on his face. The abductions take place in villages. The kidnapper haven't been seen in cities so far. So basically a slender man reference Ah shit haven't noticed the pinned comment

7:33 the shop is called "Lilith" (Лилит). I guess it's an «Evangelion» reference, considering the poster in protagonist's flat. But I also think it's a little gag. It was (and still is in some places of Russia) pretty common to see convenience stores having titles that is a person's name (not the owner's name). Snezhana, Maksim, Yelena (Снежана, Максим, Елена) etc. It looks strange and funny today but it was common case in the past. 7:39 the radio plays «Sedaya noch'» by Yuriy Shatunov (Седая ночь - Юрий Шатунов) 7:47 there is "пиздец" written on the fridge. It is obscene word for extremely undesirable situation or bad thing. Could it be the answer to the question "where is the seller?"..

very good map, played it with my friend not knowing what it is and got really spooked from that old school atmosphere it creates. I remember falling into the backrooms in that map and not knowing what is going to happen, so i disconnect because how scary it was. I couldnt find that spot where i fell again, even after restarting it like 5 times.

I love this map, and how it recreates that early part of your childhood feeling or just a comfy feeling of familiarness thanks to the style of graphics and references of early 2000's era posters and set ups as well as the music the radio plays. It also does a good job at shifting to a more eerie feeling of being alone outside at midnight while someone follows you without any other entities placed in the map or jump scares, only doors slamming behind you, Almost felt as if I was playing an old multiplayer game alone in a empty server early in the morning on a school day because I got to skip school, The eerie emptiness and feeling of something Isn't quite right despite it being a normally lively game kind of feeling.

You need to play a map called *"The Accident"* it might be highly entertaining in VR. Though it might not work in VR properly. But I wanna see somebody actually complete it. The map is huge.

4:43 i'm glad i wasn't the only one who scared themselves on the mirror when playing this map

"Hair O' Dog" is a term used when talking about a "Cure for a Hangover". The bunker might be a fallout shelter of sorts.

Autumn 2001 is definitely one of the more accomplished horror maps on workshop.

5:33 - when you see a carpet on the wall, you can be sure it's Russia. The texture of the carpet also gives it away.

Did not expect to see this kind of map here, абсолютная классика

Watching this video got me so emotional. The almost wistful narration, the fact that it's set during the year I was born and resembles games I would have played as a kid, the fact that it's a horror map... It made me tear up, and that is absolutely a good thing. Nostalgic maps like this are my jam. Keep up the good work!

This old school Playstation art style is always something I dig. And I can confirm that in VR, it's almost uncanny.

I love what you said about the believability of horror stories back in the 2000's. Man.. It makes me love being a kid from the mid 2000's. Though we should keep the horror genre going in all media, we should try and get back at least some sort of mysterious believability for it. As hard as that is.. I just have a special place in my heart for the 2000's.

yeah you right on 19:12 that was newspaper about missing kids and a kidnapper in a white mask, black costume and red tie. Nothing special C: Thanks for the video

Librarian you are the content creator I have yearned to find so long and you know and feel the same way about nostalgia and the early 2000's aesthetic. Everything you say brings me back and is the closest I've come to finding someone else who understands and shares the same interest of the unknown

This map kind of reminds me of my small town in the night (I'm from a small slavic country). And it's just scary to think how abandoned it feels sometimes.

Only found you the other day, must have watched most of your videos already … great content and great voiceovers.

We need more VR footage, its so enjoyable and so interesting to watch, i can literally watch it for hours and hours and not get bored

Man, this is really cool! I like the little Evangelion references sprinkled throughout the map

Russian culture, french culture turkish culture all in my country romania, we have multiple cultures, some original, some borowed, but i love them, this house reminds of my childhood

Even though I didn't understand you at all and you had to guide me with the subtitles, I really liked your video, I hope you continue uploading videos like this ;)

THIS is my kind of ambiance. The subtle breeze. The contrast of the loudness of everything you touch breaks the silence. It’s wonderful. I forget which map librarian played recently but it had the most overwhelming ambiance ripped from amnesia. It was a shame because of how amazing the actual map was. You can ruin the mood or completely shift it with sound. You can turn a creepy comfy map into an on the edge of your seat adrenaline filled nightmare with the right audio. I genuinely love this maps vibe.

Finally! For a very long time, I wanted to see you go through this map. This time has come! I really like the way you explore liminal maps. I also really like researching maps with a post-Soviet style. I liked "GM_Russia" very much. Although you missed a couple of interesting moments on it, perhaps you are one of those who very well revealed its essence to your viewers. Now is the time for "Autumn 2001"! This map is remarkable not only for Easter eggs. It is primarily notable for its unique atmosphere of an autumn thriller. Quiet autumn evening. There is silence all around. You can go out into the yard and go to the store. Take a little walk ... And get acquainted with urban legends, from which the frost runs over the skin. Librarian, I also highly recommend that you familiarize yourself and your followers with the game that is on Steam (not Garri's Mod). The game is called (ШХД: ЗИМА / IT'S WINTER). It has a double name. A very atmospheric thing! And also mysterious.

I love watching your videos idk why but they’re so comforting

you are on fire, keep it up, loving these uploads.

Sooo glad I found your channel! So much good content I’ll probably be busy for a while lol

Thanks for playing this map, this is one of the first horror maps I played. There is an Easter egg if you look at the mirror in your house for long enough… There is also a sandbox version with night and day maps. I’m pretty sure the fake door in those leads to a room full of… anime women… not sure if it’s “you know what” though

I always love it when I get a notification that you uploaded a video about gmod map exploring or horror maps

The start of the vid makes me feel nostalgic like I lost something I never even had in the first place. I never had things of my own in 2001

The kitchen looks EXACTLY like my childhood home kitchen! I even had the bead things in the entrance but slightly different!

Love your videos! Keep up the great work guy.

As a slav, I completely lost it at the city being named "Mukhosransk"

Man, Alan Wake 2 is looking great! Kinda walking simulator-y tho

This reminds me a little bit of "Halloween HL2: Pumpkin Night". Ever play that? Pretty nostalgic and high on the creepy/comfy factor, though when I played it many years ago (it was a quite early HL2 mod) it had some bugs and performance issues. Seems a perfect thing for your channel though: You start out with a friend, going trick or treating and hellraising in your suburban neighborhood on halloween, then out to an abandoned farm... I remember enjoying it at the time despite the issues.

you really deserve much more attention and subs . keep doing what you do!

I don't know why, but I love how whenever you hear something in one these kinds of horror maps, and you turn around to check, you don't move an inch. I don't even see the slightest inch of movement when you turn around. (Almost like how a Deer reacts to the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.)

As a eastern european this feals so nostalgic , it has everything from the apartment block garages to thecorner shop and creepy basmemt , man so meany nostalgic things

Damn, bro you got a nice Desktop design, also the map you where playing feels like an uncomfortable feeling when you go outside and go at wrong destination and that would trigger more bad things to you

Thx for your video! Glad to see that my map is still popular and everyones likes it!

16:38 Looks like Drake was here drawing doors instead of cutting them

Cool map, thanks for sharing this video.

Librarina, you should try experimenting with turning off the draw HUD option because I couldn't actually tell this was gmod for a good bit until I looked down and saw the hp counter, might help with immersion for playing non-vr too. Great video btw!

“Hair of the dog that bit me” means drinking alcohol to take care of a hangover

Autumn 2001 looks cool!

Probably way too late for the party, but going to post it anyways. Check out the games "It's winter" and "Bright Lights of Svetlov". They are kinda going for the same vibes with different art styles. As for the map, even though despite being a russian, i've never lived in a proper khruschevka for any prolonged period of time, much less remember anything about the times before 2002-3 when i was 4-5yo respectively, i still massively appreciate and can fully immerse myself in those kinds of maps. While I don't necessarily love the art style or the basic story setup behind it, nor did i ever enjoy ending up in eerie/creepy and inherently dangerous places and situations, the atmosphere of maps/games like that brings up some warm and cozy memories some of which have been real and some have come from my imagination and desires based on my own experiences and stories told by other people. Huge props to both author for creating it and you for covering it in such detail.

what a nice word written on the ice cream freezer in that store

Nostalgia (n) Def: a feeling that you been in a familiar place before or a TV show or game.

Small correction: Jack Sparrow and the crew find the dead Kraken in the third movie, not the second🤣 Great video as always, love this channel, it's so addictive.

We used to have those beads in our house leading to the staircase. Thinking about it, our house is a weird mish-mash of decades. VHS tapes, record players, HD TVs, Xbox 1, a landline phone...

If this universe has continuity with our timeline, I would probably be glued to the picture tube TV watching the then ongoing news coverage of 9/11 since the autumn of 2001 immediately followed. I would have been bundled in my favorite baggy clothing and wrapped up in a Minky Couture electric blanket while eating borscht and pierogies while washing it down with a tall bottle of virgin kvass.

Great Content👍🏻

The first 4 minutes about the internet being a lot less centralized is very much so true, back then you could spend hours reading about a creepy pasta or the latest scp entry and maybe even some odd country folklore like the rake or something like that but now that we have all grown a bit and time has done what it usually does we no longer find these things as interesting since we have seen it before and grown up with it. And now with there being whole pages about these things we find the answers to things we had fun trying to find.

I like your content, its chill. ^-^

thank you for your vids librarian

That Steam profile caught me off-guard LOL

4:41 this moment really made me laugh a lot LMAO

at this point if i see gmod in the title I just click I don't even read it cause the videos always a banger.

Finally this map!!! I like this map very much, one of my favorite. But I still don't know how to get into the backrooms till today. (sorry for my poor English)

PS1 Filter addon would go amazing with this map

Underated af

I just realised that one of the ice cream fridges in the store says "пиздец"... And yeah, I couldn't agree more with that ice cream fridge.

2001 was a great year

This map is all about curiosity. Once you take the bait your in for a weird ride..

Interesting wallpaper

Russian 00's culture piece got western attention? Am I dreaming?

Very cool map

You're walking through literal horror in VR and an Alan Wake mirror reflection almost kills your heart?

If you also up for more Soviet/Eastern Europe stuff you can check out Hatch 18 mod for Hl2ep2 and Paranoia for hl. Since you now playing not just liminal and nostalgic stuff but also horror that probably would fit it. Those mentioned are definitely apotheosis of bunkerism.

oh yeah... that white lada you see when you first exit the building is a dead giveaway that you're in a former soviet state.

if anyone is interested, the music playing from the radio is "Виктор Цой - Спокойная ночь"

The writing on the newspaper says "missing children" on it. quite spooky

i remember playing team fortress with my firends at after school and the ps2 and ahh such good times

You should try playing Phasmophobia again it has even bigger maps to explore while the atmospheric sounds are playing

“Can’t say I’ve heard the expression before.” Lmao.

You missed a lot of details on this map. 1. There is a car driving on the highway behind the building 2. If you keep looking at the mirror in the bathroom, there will be a black figure moving towards you from your living room 3. If you take the newspaper it triggers a slenderman minigame, and if you find all the papers you can open the locekd door in the bedroom 4. You can take out the trash 5. There is a sitting figure in the brick building under construction 6. There can be a ghost face somewhere in the basement 7. if you enter the orange doodled door you get teleported to a pink room with carmelladansen playing and a lot of pictures of anime girls on the walls 8. there is a dev credit room at the top of the apartment building 9. There is a shop in the background with an anime girl face as a logo 10. You can turn on the computer in the living room 11. The convinence store has a room with a gaming computer with a hammer editor window of the map open and a poster with Half-Life 3 logo saying "I belive" Some of those are only accesible on the sandbox version of this map, go check it out.

Gotta love all the evangelion references

On what you said about people believing less these days. I think some people said the same thing when Newton explained what a rainbow really was. While they acknowledged he was almost certainly right, they lamented that he’d taken a bit of magic out of the world.

This map seems to be very similar to the enviorement in an old horror game i played some time ago, it's called Cry of Fear and it was released in 2012, it's set in a Swedish city but it totally nails the whole nostalgic feeling from the dark alleys and gloomy city atmosphere, it's also really scary so it would be a great little experience, it also has coop and it's free on steam! (IT'S REALLY SCARY!)

there's a map called "break in" and it looks a lot like this map and its a real good horror experience. I 100% recommend

You've never heard the phrase "hair of the dog?" It's a pretty common expression, short for "hair of the dog that bit me," basically the easiest way to treat a hangover is to keep drinking (which really just delays it)

10:31 You’re gonna get caught, everyone in Russia has camera in their cars because of widespread insurance theft

You should play the conspiracy maps, they arent exactly spooky but they are very interesting

16:38 "Drake? Where's the door hole?"

Man, I miss the 2000s

I was terrified

You should have tried to take the beer without paying
