For the destroyed tank at 12:27, it feels more like it was picked apart by scavengers like you who were passing through after the town's abandonment by the military. The town itself isn't torn up by zombies, and the gate was in perfect condition, so it seems pretty unlikely that the tank was ripped apart by zombies. If it was left behind during the evacuation people that came across it later would be quick to scrap it for parts.

yeah i love how the glitching tree textures look more like writhing tentacles then trees actually blowing in the wind it adds a subtle cosmic horror vibe

Snow is also a common symbol to represent the idea of death and loneliness/abandonment.

Just wait until vr comes with some sort of vest to give you a physical shake or something along with jumpscares.

I love maps that utilize Left 4 Dead 1 and 2's assets. In those games, you book it through the game's levels and rarely do you get a chance to take a break and look around. Meanwhile, in Gmod, you are allowed that opportunity.

It's nice to see Death Toll with a new vibe, along with new places. Riverside being shrouded in snow is an oddly nice thing to see.

You have basically become the spooky inspector. Each time you do one of these maps it's almost like you're checking for how spooky each one is.

I dont know if this was ever your intent, or if the thought ever crossed your mind, but I discovered your channel about a year or so back when I was going through a rough insomnia spell, I was able to correct my schedule due in large part to your videos. Turning my phone screen off and closing my eyes, imagining in my head while listening to you explore and describe these places, hit a part of my brain that nothing really has since I used to drift off to adult swim when I was a kid. So, indirectly, you really helped me out, and I appreciate that, so thank you, and keep it up, because I still find myself checking your uploads from time to time when I need a little help drifting off

I love RP maps because they’re usually made with multiple players in mind so going in solo (with you) always feels extra lonely. Plus sometimes they’ll include places for specific roles for an RP server. Like the tunnel system in that one map, might have been RP_Downpour or something, which was probably put there with criminal/cop chases in mind, but just wandering through them, empty of all life but yourself, ugh it’s so good.

nowadays, not much gives me a smile like hearing that welcome to gary’s mod. happy to have a creator to watch that explores themes and maps very similar to me. allows me to almost peer review maps with my own views. really adds to the whole art of these maps.

I love how much different gmod maps feel in vr. When goofing around in flat screen i cant notice how much detail is there and how atmosferic these are

this map is based off of lfd. i was playing lfd the other day and went on a level that looked exactly like this. the very beginning with the church on the hill behind a smashed wall is what made me jump to this conclusion. edit: just found out the level is called, "death toll"

it is just riverside from l4d, specifically the alley part from the running crescendo in The Town chapter

Your airlock comment reminded me of a pair of games where the airlock is definitely a breather, Doom 3 and Quake 4. In Doom 3 the airlocks are used as reprieves from fighting demons and other horrors of the facility your safe in those moments. In Quake 4 the same can be said and whenever you enter the human ship your literally in a safe area.

I feel like different areas of town are different stages in time of events- love this map!

This video made me realise why I love your content so much. It reminds me of the war of the world audio book. A man following the hell of an alien invasion and describing the eireeness of it

He blew my mind about forts. I never thought of forts like that, Thank you. 23:17 - 23:23

There's a game that might suit your fancy, Generation Zero, although it's a first person shooter and can get pretty hectic at times, it's exploration potential and visual story telling is immense. They have recently kinda ruined the beginning of the game by adding NPCs and such so your not entirely alone like when I started playing but when your by yourself and not being torn apart by killer robots, putting the story together yourself and seeing the aftermath of a brutal and long fought battle is just fantastic

The Christmas tree in the church wasn't just a reminder of people waiting for Christmas and it never coming, but also the fact that it's winter in this map probably means that it didn't just not come, but it was expected years ago.

The creepy and the comfy is so well balanced in this map. I love the winter comfiness, the lighting, the wind, the snow fall -not too much and not too little. The glitches increase the exquisite dreaminess of it all.

I feel so understood listening to librarian's input to what hes seeing

Thanks for making these wonderful videos librarian!

"Oh, yes. Post-Event, the world would have been a different place if we'd managed to keep even some of the children alive."

That's it, I just ordered an electric lantern.

I feel like it could be some kind of phenomenon happened here, but it is more likely a heavy snow storm that wiped out everyone and causes them to evacuate. Ive experienced being alone in such place with lights on but no people around, but you might get that feeling of unsettling

you would love the long dark tbh

The monsters…that might kill you. The cold WILL kill you. -Jacob Geller, in a video about the fear of dying via freezing

It's great to come back from a stressful day at school to a Librarian upload

2:48 I believe those are UV lamps to help with sterilizing.

Love Your gmod exploration videos

Your observations on the concept of 'Comfy Horror' have been very insightful. I've been seeking experiences like this for quite some time but wasn't sure how to put it into words or even begin to find stuff like this. The idea of being safe and cozy inside, with only a wall separating me from the hostile environment and entities outside. I hope this genre you've coined becomes more common terminology so it is easier to find these types of games.

Its always nice to see modded or custom versions of l4d maps turned into something bigger. There needs to be more maps like this on the workshop.

Slowly losing my mind at you absentmindedly leaving all the doors open and letting all the warmth out.

Technically my second watch because I slept through the first. I love snowy maps, snowy locations are a definition of comfy and scary. My mom told me so many spooky irl stories in winter

15:50 same as Asheville but librarian verbally acknowledged it Also really glad you mentioned Norman Rockwell

You should do these ambience gameplay video's on Red Dead Redemption 2, it has a lot of dynamic and vast open world!

The comfy-cosy cabin appears to be heavily inspired by a bothie you encounter while playing "Dear Esther". //Rick

How to truly scare the Librarian? *_PANTS._*

I'm in love with your exploration series of creepy and comfy maps. Let alone the rest of your content I discovered around March of twenty twenty two. Bless you for this amazing content I hope your channel continues to grow

The idea of one day waking up in a zombie apocalypse, but all the zombies disappeared after a while… what do you do now.

40 seconds into the video and I can already tell they ripped this from death toll the left for dead map.

Perfect garry's mod map for a Librarian explore. Love these.

This feels like walking through an old town after zombies came through and killed the inhabitants... but the zombies have also died out by this point.

30:59 that house is rip Strate from postal 2

so this is like the aftermath of the murder drones invading earth

left 4 dead 1 map remixd

14:16 I've once literally had a dream I went to school and everything and it was just a normal day. Was so confused for 2 minutes if that really happened or not. Lol.

This map reminds me of the Death Toll campaign from Left 4 Dead. It looks like it was built off of it.

Good old $treesway making the trees act goofy.

reminds me of The Division

That L4D2?

I bet that, one day, The Librarian will upload a video about a gmod map and at the end he will say “so yeah I created this” It’s gonna be epic

Man i wish zomboid looked this good..or dayz.

I adore your gmod vr content it made me sleep

First comment and I love youre videos 😃

more of this please

POV: Your late to the evacuation

isn't this just a modified version of (i think) chapter 3 of death toll from left 4 dead?

This gave me big "The Division" vibes.

I love u bro and I wish u the best.

Rather more relevantly, airlocks being a breather was subverted in Half Life 2.

This map is totally an edited version of the one map that comes after the Church map in Left 4 Dead like that Church in the exact Church in the map and the exact placement also there is a store across from the Church with I am assuming an alleyway on the right of it yeah the Truck that usually is a little bit to the left of the opening in the stone wall is gone but also some stuff is changed a little bit like there is some more stuff in the Left 4 Dead Church like that extra room down the ladder but it is just an edited version of that map I mentioned and I like it the person that did this really did a wonderful job at making it feel like a version of the map that could be a custom campaign that basically is like an Encore version of it and no to those FNF fan's that see that word I do not mean that type of Encore I mean like a version of something that has not only a different feel to it but just longer and takes different route's and stuff if that makes sense

Perfect timing! I’m currently stuck at work while a snow storm rolls through! Gonna be a fun watch while in between customers!

I was more thinking it was after a war skirmish, like a bombing run or an enemy force passing the place, then the town left behind, the occupying force leaving.

I enjoyed the wood paneling inside the one room with the box of documents. I want to know what they are about as they seemed important to someone. I would love more limnal spaces with different historical period impressions (70s, 80s)

12:28 Maybe the zombie tank

Imagine combining Lindar with Gmod VR

There is no way there is a Apocalypse Who made that Snowman

Nice

What are the new mods librarian?

Librarian wich mod do you use to fix the VR grip?

Baller

30:00 Local 58 moment.

there’s a new version called rp_desolation

Can you do the Gmod map Nightmare house in VR, that used to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid, recently re played it and it still holds up today. Nightmare house is more of a linear story though.

I can tell this map is from left 4 dead death toll

yes more Librarian i like more Librarian!

Awesome video once again. Btw, how's the resolution look in glider vr for ya. Just tried it out for myself and it kinda sucks idk why. Couldn't find anything regarding fixing that online

I wish someone makes a Suburbs map

Im not really comfy in my house, you know why? its so Damn COLD all the time and since Heating everyroom would be like too much and it would also be too expensive 1:34

Do you have a video on the channel on how to play GMod in VR? I tried to set it up, but something went wrong... I already tried to look for such a video on channel, but I couldn't find it...

Wait... this is Riverside form L4D, ain't it?

Its a remade version of a l4d1 map

cool

Coolio I'm 30 seconds early

Heya

cam u play sindes

30:00 ad jumpscare

can u nplt gines

10:36 sirenhead

Speaking of PZ clothes affecting NPCs, it would be cool if you're wearing something like a military uniform and, while fighting raiders, they say things like, "holy S***, the military are still around?" or something similar. Taunts and comment based on clothing is what I'm thinking.

UwU

First

cN u mplay sinexs

This is just the map from left 4 dead…

why do i need a phone number to text in the sever...

caj iull nmub byes

Curious if the Librarian knows of: Rp_Darkvalley_la I recommend it

Nice
