Honestly surprised Merg didn't realise the scream at the end was the Hollow Knight, but if he didn't know, now he does from this comment

It’s obvious the devs put a lot of work into this mod and I’m glad it’s getting the attention that it deserves

Despite my best efforts to not spoil myself, I've been seeing a lot of secrets being found already. Perfectly shows how much extra effort was put into this mod, and perfect for Merg to go sleuthin' em out!

Can we take a moment to say "Thank you" for DAgames being willing to turn his own song into something for an fnf mod?

I just noticed the difficulty that are shown in the Nightmare Songs' song select screen changes according to each songs' original game! Devils Gambit: Devilish Bad Time: Genocidal Despair: Demonic These little details are so cool!!

*"Every Kal meme is canon"* I love how Merg just drop a Omori reference outta of nowhere.

BF: *literally gets beaten to death* Merg:“ Heyyyyy, no bullying D:“

12:16 That was the radiance scream! It seems like a Hollow Knight character will be coming up next =) Edit: People, literally all the bosses that have been taken over by the radiance in Hollow Knight have the same scream sound effect

40:30 "Every Kal meme is canon" That caught me off guard lol, didn't expect an omori reference here XD

This is the best mod in fnf history. Change my mind✨ Also at 17:30 and so on, that song is "Build our Machine" from DAGames: one of the coolest video game songs ever made.

its great to see merg going back to mods and looking for more songs like he did in sonic.exe, it also really makes me proud and happy his determination makes him better than me in this game :)

Wow, those instakill notes with a neon-yellow outline during segments where *every single note is black with a neon outline* are just pure sadism Good of the devs to make those extra mechanics toggleable though, really shows they care

I like how boyfriend dies when his ego is hurt but when he’s fighting he’s like a walking tank 💀

I love how when you miss notes in the tutorial boyfriend dies, but when he gets absolutely mutilated by an ink monster he’s fine

29:24 I love how he immediately transports from panic to confusion

Can we just take a moment and appreciate that each animation has extra frames for the run and it is synced into a perfect running cycle in nightmare run? Edit: thank you for 160 likes. I have never had this amount of likes on a comment before Edit 2: wow 215 thank you guys so much!!!

Am I the only one who thinks that he is the calmest person ever?

I was literally just thinking about how Merg didn't complete it and here we are now.

Merg, you are one of the sweetest, most wholesome creators on KZfaq, and watching your videos always puts a happy smile on my face. I’ve been watching you for 3 years now and I don’t plan on ever stopping. Keep up the good work, we’ll be supporting you! ^^

I love how Merg never gives up no matter the difficulty of the song btw if you think about it, you should play the actual Bendy and the Ink Machine game and you’ll get to know more about it

Spoilers for Hollow Knight: I just realized, at the end of the credits, the scream heard is the scream of The Hollow Knight in the second to last fight in Hollow Knight, meaning the next part in Indie cross will most likely be Hollow Knight related, which I’m excited for!

During Nightmare Run, Boyfriend flips Bendy while running, and Bendy finds how it’s an insult and in Despair his red arrow like BF flips you off. It’s a funny attention to detail.

Merg's *dedication* to make he's videos, never stops to amaze me. Seriously tho, many would already *"give up"* and just make a single video for the mod. But not Merg. He still comeback to the mod to see what he missed in the last video, and with that, give us *more content* to watch from him. Of course, not always he beat all the songs, but at least he try *(and let's gonna be honest, some of these songs are pure insanity LOL).*

It was kinda obvious that Merg will release a part 2 at one point or another, but I'm very happy for this mod and this video anyway!

Wow what a great mod, how can it get any better- 12:17 Sounds like a giant moth with laser beams and swords approaching Oh crud. Edit: is it just me, or do I hear the smoke demon (from fnf soft) in ritual, hellclown and zavodila in nightmare run?

That mod is just everything good about fnf mods, with awesome cutscenes, interesting mechanics and crazy good songs all showing some of the best indie game characters of this era

12:16 Merg is gonna have some intense flashbacks once he realizes whose scream this is

When I first experienced Nightmare Bendy I questioned myself "am I fighting a dark souls boss?", defeated this without ghost tapping & defenitly my favorite out of the 3 nightmare levels...not for my eyes though.

one of these days theres gonna be a mod that is so well made that it puts this to shame (and this is already argueably the mest mod of all time, it's my favorite one rn)

4:20 (nice) Merg is about to say “Holy shit” and immediately corrects himself to “holy crap” this man is too good for social media.

The goose being a confirmed character begs the question; What would Goose's Nightmare form be like, and how much more deadly would it be than the normal goose?

I absolutely love how they got Build our Machine in this mod!

I love the fact that, the most iconic song of Bendy from DAGames is in this mod.

I hope that the fact that they used the Radiance’s screech at the end of the credits and nosk music during the Bendy week means that the “Indie Cross will return” was referring to a Hollow Knight week

He did not recognized that the next week will be hollow knight NOTE MY WORDS, I KNOW A RADIANCE GROWL WHEN I HEAR ONE 12:17

"Holy crap the bitches are going crazy" -Merg 2022

At the end of the credtis was the radiance scream, so I guess Hollowknight will be the next Indie game week Edit: Also between song 2 and 3 of week 3 the Nosk theme is used

That one part 2 that we didn't know was coming, but everyone needed, I love it! :D

Boyfriend: Beep Goose: Honk Nice conversation, have a great rest of the day.

Bendy's elbows are way stronger than any other part of his body.

Are you going to play the new Undertoad: Mission Luigi fangame? It’s “unofficial,” but it was overseen by the official comic team, so it’s accurate to canon, unlike the old Mario Sans Revolution game. There’s a no-hit mode, too.

Incase you want to play Bendy and the Ink Machine sometime in the future,i won't spoil anything,but... The song "Ritual" is where we fight against Sammy,one of Bendy's "followers". And the song "Freaky Machine" is a reference to popular songs called "Build our Machine" and "Instruments of Cyanide",made by DA Games,undoubtedly two of the most popular fanmade Bendy And The Ink Machine songs ever made. (The Red Eye Bendy is from "Gospel of Dismay",another Bendy song by DA Games.)

for anyone who doesnt know, freaky machine is actually to the tune of build our machine by dagames which makes sense as he helped make freaky machine as seen when you load up the level at least the beginning

you know its a good day when merg uploads

Merg's dedication to make he's videos, never stops to amaze me. Seriously tho, many would already "give up" and just make a single video for the mod. But not Merg. He still comeback to the mod to see what he missed in the last episode, and with that, give us more content to watch from him. As always, thanks Merg for being you! :)

it does seem like more weeks will be added. calling it now: Hollow Knight will be a week, since they used the Nosk music in one of the cutscenes. edit: and they used the scream from Hollow Knight at the end to make it really obvious. 😭 there's me thinking I was reading between the lines!

12:17 I think that scream is familiar. It’s obviously Hollow Knight (Infected vessel) scream, so this could predict a possible update with Hollow Knight?

this has to be one of the best made mods for friday night funkin. the music is great and so are the mechanics. but i completely understand you didnt even played the nightmare songs for a long time. wow they are difficult. Defenitely one of the best mods at the moment!

The scream of the Radiance at the end of the credits got me so hyped up!

omg, thank you, I was desperate for some quality content right now, bless this man

Yes! Merg is back with another amazing video! I love your videos! :D

Omg I was literally searching for the rest of this game and your notification popped up, awesome!

Merg sounds like a dad seeing there kid in the talent show when says “Wht a talented boy” 😆😆

No one gonna talk about the fact that Boyfriend while running was just: nope * middle finger at bendy *

Great job dude You didn’t have to do nightmare run, or any of the other songs, but you did, and that’s hella impressive! You did amazing! (The mechanics on nightmare run are quite crushing, so I totally understand turning them off!)

The Hollow Knight's cry at the end of the credits gave me chills and now I am excited to how they are going to add that game to this amazing mod

"That's it hello my friend! Get out of my face." - Merg 2022

What a good timing, i was just dying from boredom and you saved me :D

It's been a while I haven't commented on a video, feels good! The worst is that I have eye fatigue and can't stay in front of the video too long 😭 Probably gonna watch it by parts so my eyes don't die 😂 I know without watching the whole video that it's going to be amazing! *happy cherry noises* Also just wanted to say there's a game who just launched today, it's a mix between Celeste and Super Meat Boy! The title is "RUN: The World In-between". It's on Steam and on Switch, and when I saw it, I immediately thought about Merg, so yeah, I'm writing this here if anyone's interested. 😊😊

Absolutely love the determination Merg! Keep it up!! :D

When Merg struggling in something, he has a chance on making a no hit/no miss runs in those games. (Because Merg is the type of someone whould do it. And another reason is because he made no hits and no miss runs in games like Undertale, Fnf etc.)

the way merg makes his videos high quality just amazes me so much, im looking forward to more videos in the future like this, keep it up!

35:37 this is art, thanks sans

16:50 "they have sent you a letter to come back home to play but to your dismay this isn't your day for the happy fun time has begun to fade"

Fact: Freaky Machine was based of a Bendy made by DAgames. The first part is based off the song called Build our Machine. And the one with the red eye was inspired by Gospel Of Dismay.

man, now i really want merg to play bendy and the ink machine. After he plays fnaf sb maybe that's the next horror game to try out? btw, the song freaky machine is a remix of the song "build our machine", a fan made song for the game

Merg: doesn't want to do songs with insta kills because it takes too many attempts Also merg: no hit sans, no hit omega flowey, no hit jevil

Most FNF mod characters: try to defeat by just tap battling Bf Cuphead, Sans and Bendy: we don't do that here

I don't blame you for turning off the mechanics. One thing that bothers me about indie cross is how insane the mechanics are. And it doesn't really matter if mod makers want to make things hard but at some point the game stops being an actual rhythm game, and its just a matter of survival (i.e spam galore, or just being downright impossible to focus on the actual arrow tracks/anti-FC).

12:17 absolute radiance ptsd

I love the fact that Moro was on every nightmare song death screen.

Merg comes back with the ink notes on. What a chad

Since we know that Indie Cross V2 will Happen i Just want to add something: The Beginning Cutscene already teased all of the Future "Worlds", so Here are the ones that were Shown Shovel Knight Hollow Knight Untiteled Goose Game FnaF And also, the current Characters have the Colors Red, Blue and Yellow From those 3 Worlds (i'm gonnna exclude Goose since He already has a Song) all can fit those Colors Shovel Knight = Blue FnaF= Red (we saw Foxy for a Split Second) Hollow Knight = Yellow

The best mod of FNF has been conquered by our best Cherry! Good job Merg!

After 2 years of bad thingys i remembered your channel and i want to check it cuz why not and i learned this *You are Growing so FAST* When I came to the first channel, you only had 100K subscribers and I followed you, I didn't leave you, we needed to heal my foot so I couldn't watch you but now you're almost 1M proud of you :D (my english is a bit bad so the words may be wrong)

Use DFJK as the notes' keys and use X and N as attack and dodge Or do something like that, to make it more confortable for you so you don't miss notes, the attack or the dodge

If you are looking for fnf mods Merg I recommend the Mario's Madness mod. It is almost on par with quality of the Sonic.exe mod. Also isn't that the Hollow Knight scream at 12:19

a fun part about the whole blocked screen with the swinging butcher head is that bendys part is a mirror to yours so when your side is blocked its the same chart as bendys on your side

10:48 I can give some context on why Bendy is stunned for a bit by bf. If you notice, he is blind and is relying on his hearing. Boyfriend noticed when he was fighting the butcher gang. Hence he pulled a pro gamer move and screamed as loud as he could to at least buy him a split second to get to safety.

Ngl that final cutscene before BF teleported away from Bendy has to be one of the best. Maybe because I like darkness, but that was awesome. Congrats on beating it, tho! May the cherry gamer live on.

glad you covered it all!

A tip for the "dark" sections, as they are called in the files, focus on the colors of the notes rather than the notes themselves. Its what helped me get through the song.

Merg: This is Boyfriend bullying! Bendy: *Are you challenging me?* 10:19

This was posted on my birthday, but I wasn't able to see this as I was at school. Still a great video!

fun facts - yeah, there's still a LOT to go through Indie Cross' development - the shadow at the Nightmare game over screen is MORØ himself (or at least, rather his sona) - you were right about Despair being literally 5:20 minutes long - if you try to do something in the debug menu after pressing 7 in a Nightmare song, its respective character will try to jumpscare you and then crash your game

Hey Merg! Loved the video. I would really love to see you play Will you snail. It's an indie platformer where an AI tries to predict your movements and spawns traps in real time! I would say its a perfect pick for this channel but you should be the judge of that.

4:30 Merg : I don't know We in hell" Seeing the Ink Machine Bendy:huh... you don't say-

37:52 saness: /having a stroke/ merg: thats the coolest part!

That scream at the end of the credits is 100000000% Radiance from hollow knight

I noticed the confusion with the week 3 characters, they are from a game called "Bendy and the Ink Machine". It is an amazing game and I ended up returning to beat it after playing this wonderful mod. You should check out the game if you haven't!

I love seeing the notification of a new merg video, thank you

"Every Kal meme is canon" OH YEAHH it's in Merg's blood now

Just wanted to come back to say I finally beat Despair and honestly Merg you dodged a bullet. _It took me a week._

Alright heck yeah, time to Bend-y to the mod's will and finish out the story, then see what else it has to offer! 1:38 _The knee._ 2:27 Ooo neon dark mode. 3:43 Ascending the staircase! Boyfriend's climbing his way out of there! 3:54 Omg you can even see, despite the fact you barely see Bendy, they made different note positions for him still! 4:28 Yoo the ink machine in the background! And is the framing a Hotland CORE reference? 5:56 Ok going for it without mechanics. 7:52 Back to the beginning section, on a higher floor? 8:28 And neon mode again! 9:08 Heck yeah BF finally gets away! 9:17 :0 Projector head guy! 9:20 Oh hi again Sammy. 9:30 Yoo 3D turn effect. 9:49 Ohp and... back through. Does this ever end for BF? 9:53 Aaand the butcher gang is angry again. BF's last stand! 10:07 Uh oh he been grabbed. 10:13 Squishy face and mic slap lol. 10:17 Ow. 10:24 Bro that was a knockout punch. 10:37 Brooo BF's unlocked the determination scream!!! 10:53 Aaand he free. :D Also I just realized how much those portals look like the one that got Tricky in the Tricky mod. 11:08 And finally credits! But no funkin' answers on those portals... 11:14 Brooo gonna make me cry with this piano version of the menu theme. 11:37 I'm seein a big number there, 375? Secret code or milestone? Oh wait you're talking about Gose. 12:05 Yooo for more indie games? 12:15 Yooo Radiance scream!? Is Hollow Knight next? :0 13:05 Niice two Bendy songs. 13:18 Oh I was thinking- yeah ok it just unlocks after doing all the secret songs lol. 13:41 Ooo vs. Sammy! Oh no he tryna sacrifice BF. 14:07 Yeye the axe swinging pose is cool. 14:42 Oh but it didn't cover the notes. 15:41 Bro the dodge appeared on the left and it gave you like no warning. xD 16:03 Nice dodge, bro that was a cheap move at the end. 16:11 Oh yeah- he got that a bit ago game lol. 16:27 Waaaaaiiit a sec is that the percussion to Build Our Machine!? :0 16:40 It's vs. cartoon Bendy and heck yeah it is Build Our Machine omg that's such a nostalgia slap!!! :DDD 16:50 Woah Bendy's animations are so smooth- pretty fitting when you think about it lol. 17:12 Aw thanks Bendy. 17:22 "I am alive! Immortalized! You're the creator, you traitor! Hey! There's no vaccine, to cure our dirty needs! For now you must, BUILD UP OUT MACHINE YOU DIE TONIGHT!" 17:55 Ooo he's going cyanide mode- Yoo and the curtains open up AND IT SWITCHED TO INSTRUMENTS OF CYANIDE!!! Also just realized the stage setting and projector screen background is a reference to Gospel of Dismay WE GOT THE WHOLE TRILOGY HERE!!!!!!!! 18:14 Yeah you can't just do a cover of this song without including a chorus of voices lmao. 18:41 Heck yeah this song almost goes as hard as the original! 19:01 Pfft BF goes for the hoo haha scatting and Bendy calls it a low blow. 19:27 Oo the sexy bass dropping at the end. 19:52 Heck yeah Nightmare Songs unlocked! Wait Nightmare songs? Uh oh Merg this might be hard- 20:04 They lookin neon yooooo. Oooh and it's like the bonus songs in the middle are the portal teleporting you to Nightmare Mode! 20:21 Oh ho ho devilish difficulty, time to take the Devil's Gambit! 20:38 Ooo Nightmare loading screen. 20:44 hah, nice Lemon Demon callback, Devil's dead, time to take on Cuphead and he's fuming with hellfire! 20:50 He snappin already, can't miss a single parry! 20:55 Well that's a creepy game over screen, nothing like the charm of the main week just terrifying voice- almost like Everywhere at the End of Time. 21:14 Daaamn it's going hard already! 24:10 Yeah kinda close up Devil face? 24:20 Alright alright hearing Battle Against a True Hero there, and heck yeah Genocidal difficulty! 24:40 Sans has gone full telekinesis mode, he's even teleporting around in his poses! 24:56 Uh oh bone dodging is color coded now too! 25:00 Oh yeah the mystery man disappear sound effect. And But Nobody Came... 26:40 I mean I'd think so, the lack of icons is only to hide the designs. 27:02 Fall into Despair with demonic difficulty! 27:18 Oh hi Nightmare Bendy. 27:26 Hooooly crap the metal, the chorus, Bendy's grungy voice, this song goes as insane as possible! 28:42 Hey he's gotta pull out all the stops for this- also this is the farthest Merg's made it on one of these songs, and on the first try! 29:00 Lights on, the machine and revealed and the mechanics start flooding in like ink! 29:06 Here come the butcher gang... yeah this is where it ends. 29:48 Heh pal buddy chum home slice bread slice dawg. 30:50 Mmm Gose. 30:56 It is a lovely day to funk around... and you're facing a horrible little goose! Honk honk away! 31:09 Aw yeah, gose with the drip. 32:14 Pft you might be thinking of the Game Theory intro lol. 33:47 Ofc the game crashes why wouldn't it Merg? Gose has unlimited power. 34:32 Bro you got captured. 34:37 Yw Sans it was an honor. He repaying us with a secret song? 35:04 Oh that's a smart way to prevent it from being datamined. 35:34 SANESSSS!!! 35:39 Bro it really is just Sr. Pelo noises.

12:19 I may be late but I recognize that cry anywhere, that’s the sun boys.

ive come back watching merg after like 2 years and still a rlly good youtuber

This game is too good,even the mechanics im impressed

I LOVE this mod! I'm happy to see you do the little secrets and extras I can't play the mod because Idk how to get mods (I don't have much space on my computer xD) Anyways the "freaky machine" song kinda sounds like "Hey I am alive" song!

Merg being a master of arrow keys..Love your content..

the developers: do their best work to do an awesome mod literally everyone: OPTIONS
