Thanks for the feature. That was definitely a moment.

Dead body: **is displayed** Nexpo: "let's dissect this"

"She brought a fucking demon back home with her" I laughed way harder than I should have at this line

I always feel like I can trust nexpo when watching these creepy videos but when he laughed I was like “ayoo?? 😶”

Imagine making a game in younger school days, full of random inside jokes and/or creative experimentation. then years later, people are freaking out about it.

The glitch involving the torii gate may be a cultural reference. In Japan, a torii gate acts as a passage way through spiritual barriers, and that you must enter it and exit it by going through it, to go around or loop through it without properly exiting is seen as impolite. Based on the footage, the glitch is caused when you go through a torii gate, but do not exit it properly. I could be wrong, and I am not a programmer who can look through the code to see what triggers the glitch.

That definitely wasnt a glitch in the game, it was too specific. rogue/obscure Japanese horror games like to do this alot by bending the 4th wall. it wants to make you think that you are not really playing a game and mixes reality with fiction. This is to leave you guessing if you are playing a actual game made by a fan of horror or playing a game made by a actual murderer/psychopath and the game is just a diary to what he did with imagery to boot as he knows he will never be caught. Its similiar to that mario creepy pasta game. it just leaves you wondering. You will never know.

nexpo's "i love you all, and good night" feels like a comforting hug

The constant struggle between wanting more nexpo content, but knowing that it takes time to make content this good. I really hope he knows how much we love his videos.

Hey nexpo, probably gonna get lost in the sea of comments, but Q was an active worlds player when I was active as well (early 2012-16) and I've spoken with alot of the players to hear that Q was very much so a Nexalist type of creator, as he was a dev. From golden years that actively worked on worlds very long before I started playing, I've spoken to him as well and can confirm he is very cryptic on purpose to new players to entice them with the "creepy" aspects of dead/dying virtual chats. I'm not sure if the servers are still up, as i do not have access to a computer, but I'm sure the few players would be able to help in the search, or better yet, he might be active there since traveler died in 2018

Okay, after seeing the "dead body" in this video, I did some more poking around, checked out some other pictures of it, and I have a theory to share. I read a lot of comments here from people in various medical fields comparing their personal experiences with corpses to whatever the hell was going on in this game. My immediate thoughts upon seeing the thing come from experience in a different field. A literal field. Farming, raising livestock, specifically dealing with deceased animals. You can't really dig a grave for a cow or horse (or pig, I feel most people grossly underestimate how big pigs are) like it's your family dog or cat. Plus, this presents a risk of disease to other animals on the property. So what do you do? You ship them off to a place like this to be incinerated. I believe this explains the lack of hygiene and cleanliness others have pointed out when considering a medical or meat processing scenario. Also, the state of the, uh, "remains", could be because of a predator, scavengers, and/or simply being left in a field undiscovered or awaiting transportation. Footage of this wouldn't be problematic to have, unlike filming med school cadavers who might be identified, or a meat processing plant that could be sued for not being appropriately food safe. My initial thought was that we are seeing part of a young cow, noticed what may have been a cloven hoof and it seemed to me definitively more cow than deer. Maybe my eyes are just picking out familiar shapes in shadows. At any rate, I am confident that these are the hinge-like leg joints of a quadruped and not the more articulate ball-and-socket joints of a human. I swear I have never disposed of a human body.

perhaps it's because my brain is broken, but the skeleton walking across the screen in the museum of anything goes is so funny to me especially because of the noises

i'm always thrown for a loop when nexpo is telling me about spooky shit and demons and hauntings and then uses a phrase like "shit begins to hit the fan"

hearing him laugh is probably the most eerie thing I’ve ever heard from nexpo

2:36 Schell Online 13:44 Haunting 2 - Utahonotatari 24:08 The Museum of Anything Goes

Nexpo is like batman, if he laughs or smiles it terrifies us viewers

Maybe this is a weird thing to mention but thank you so much for putting the time in to make the captions so accurate and easy to follow along. I have an audio processing disorder and need the captions to get all the information in a piece of media, but KZfaq auto-captions are, more often than not, garbage. It doesn't go unnoticed when a content creator makes their videos accessible. Great video as always

RPG Maker dev here! That second one is incredibly cool, and would be fairly simple to set up, even with minimal knowledge on how to use the program. Definitely an intentional and effective scare! Going under the torii gates probably has a set chance of activating the "glitch". When the conditions are correct, it sets a timer to display the first image with the green text box, followed by a simple Message string showing up for the second (RPG Maker uses specific fonts/custom ones you can set, which explains why not having the keyboard region set to Japan would throw up garbage instead). After that, it's as simple as having the screen flash 4 times and making the image pop up. Making it so you have to close the game to stop it is more than likely because it's set as an "Auto" event, which doesn't end unless you setup a way to end it or use "End Event Processing". An easy way to verify this would be to go into the files for the game and see if you can find an image with the green text box in there! Awesome stuff as always, Nexpo!

I think the reason why The Museum Of Everything Goes feels so lonely is because the other people there never really acknowledge you. They never look at you. Plus, everyone seems to know what they're doing there and what's going on, except for you, the player.

20:12 i was really hoping to hear nexpo reading addagsfugfyda out loud

As a fan of Vinesauce I'm very intrigued by these sorts of games and surprised how many of them Vinny has played

If I'm ever diagnosed with a terminal illness, I want Nexpo to be the one to deliver the news to me. He's the only person who can creep me out with content yet soothe my soul with his voice at the same time. Amazing content as always.

The fact that Q was being strange and eerie on purpose to entice people was somewhat hilarious lol

I am the "Q" mentioned here. My friend Dylan showed me this video and I'm so sorry to say this, but, I am useless in your search. I never knew Saint, nor did I ever play Schnell. I still have a major interest in dead MMOs and I'm semi active on FeralHeart Unleashed. I probably won't be active on YT due to personal stuff.

I remember back in my childhood where I used to think that Herobrine in Minecraft, Bigfoot in GTA and other video game creepypastas were real. Good times

*Guy disposing of a body* Nexpo: "Alright, let's dissect this..."

I nearly crapped my pants when Nexpo laughed. It's kinda unusual, never heard before

When I was around five years old, I found a copy of the Museum of Anything Goes in my grandparents' basement with their old PC. I was never the same after that.

Someone uploaded all the audio files for The Museum of Anything Goes and there are bits where co-creator Michael Markowski talks about himself. He is/was a school teacher in Chicago apparently and goes on a bitter and cynical talk about how the school system in the city is failing (and as many probably are aware, things haven't gotten better, worse in fact for Chicago's public education sector, and arguably the city itself, crime skyrocketing, poverty, etc.). There's a bit where he talks to various kids in elementary school and in a blunt and terse tone asks them questions about what they want to be when they grow up, how they hope to achieve that and so on. He never outright tells them "your dreams are hopeless, might as well give up and forget about it kid" but he does have a tone to his voice where barely hides his feelings of resignation toward anything good coming from the generation of kids he's teaching who want to be astronauts or whatever. I don't know, I don't remember what he said exactly, you can probably find the sound files on here and listen to the interviews yourself. I imagine this game is some sort of outlet. I don't know about the co- developer but at the very least it would be fitting if the game was called "The Museum of Mike Markowski's Mind." It has the surface of an edutainment title befitting his role as a school teacher and is tonally all over the place. A mix of bad jokes and silly sight gags and sound effects with just weird meaningless, uh, stuff, some actual information about the Chicago area, and sad, more serious fare like a section of real "dead letters" from one of the World Wars (dead letters are letters, usually from a long time ago past when it would be relevant to the recipient or when they would even be alive, that were sent out but never made it to their destination). There is some underlying nihilism to it all, like one of the creepy, looping tracks (the one Vinny said sounded like a Talking Heads parody) about how life is meaningless and all there is in the end is death. I don't remember the lyrics other than "You're here, then you're gone." A number of dire topics seem to be used as punchlines or setups for dark jokes. The thing with the video of the carcass after a funeral is just the most extreme example in the whole thing. A silly walking skeleton in front of that old photograph of a body in a casket is another. Of course there's no information whatsoever to find about the game's creators. I don't know if they're even still alive. But in any case I see it as a product of an embittered public school teacher who has seen where the system had led his students, left him hopeless, and just piled on all those thoughts into an interactive edutainment CD-ROM title from the bygone days. Seeing all the stuff in the game does make one wonder who the audience the game was intended for and it's probably nobody at all except for the people of the future right now who finds intrigue in these bizarre, old relics of the uncanny valley.

Nexpo’s laugh was the scariest thing of the video

I REALLY love the segment about Utahonotatari. You should do more videos about hidden stuff in these RPG maker horror games. If you need help with Japanese while researching, hmu!

This is one of those nights where I just want to turn all the lights off and curl up in a blanky with a heaping dose of Nexpo.

Nexpo: I'm a Brave boy! *Strange Baloon Dog-Tortoise kidnaps children taking them where only God knows Nexpo: Not a Brave enough boy for this!

This stuff is so unsettling.. but I can’t stop watching it lol

Online mysteries honestly fascinate me more than real world ones, because the internet is a man-made, every mysterious or creepy thing on there HAS to come from someone. Which honestly terrifies me more

I definately like the idea of this becoming a series! Since most of use are or have been gamers the idea of running into eerie things in games is very relatable

god that japanese rpg makes game would've been an absolute hit if translated. I can imagine people like markiplier losing their minds over it a few years ago. Sad it faded into obscurity

My uni's anthropology department had a project that kept a pig carcass to study the effects of decomposition, because it's very similar to the process in human bodies... so I don't blame Vinny for thinking he saw a dead person in that game😅

Man, internet and media history is just so fun and fascinating to learn about.

I’ve always wanted to create something like schnell ever since I’ve discovered unexplainable games. I wanna make something so obscure, creepy, unexplainable, and just absolutely batshit that people come back to it every few years. But I have no knowledge of coding or making games so I can’t lmao. Maybe someday. :)

Only Vinny and Joel are able to be magnetically attracted to the weirdest obscure shit

That skeleton walking across with the sound effect had to be the most hilarious thing I've seen in one of these creppy videos

That commercial break about “what if their art is___?” Is absolutely phenomenal. Extremely simple but extremely affective and if you came up with that one, props to you

It's fascinating how media you know you've never heard of can invoke feelings of nostalgia. There's something about those types of games, shows, books, etc that can make you feel terrified to your core, yet at the same time safe, protected and at peace. Or maybe that's just how I feel whenever I listen to Nexpo's narration.

IDEA: The "corpse photo" that pops up after activating that "glitch" might not be a photo at all, but a painting. I'm not the world's foremost expert on fine art, but highly detailed paintings of death and corpses were actually extremely common in the late Renaissance and well into the 19th century (and in many ways, these paintings are more unsettling than photographs.) Rembrandt, Goya, Holbein, Caravaggio (OMG especially Caravaggio!) are well known for their eye-popping paintings of dead humans. Did you know that one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings is a still life of A REAL HUMAN SKELETON? Maybe the creator of the game used an image from a painting instead of a photo because a photo would be too much gore and not enough emotion. If so, then as far as the style of the possible painting is concerned, in my opinion the image reminds me of something that Paul Cezanne or Hans Holbein might have done. EDIT: Something else just occurred to me, and I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner, but if using an actual photo of an actual human corpse could have created a legal problem for the developer than using a painting would make more sense. Most fine artworks aren't subject to copyright laws anyway, I don't think.

Truly can’t wait until your next video! Your quality recently has been through the roof- to the point where I could watch this a second time and enjoy it just as much as the first!

"Whatever you do...don't click on the grave." This would automatically trigger my natural rebellious side. I can't be alone. 🤣

You are very possibly right about the pig thing, but just throwing this out there, I used to work in the medical field. In training, we had to dissect cadavers a handful of times. The cadavers although preserved, we’re still heavily decayed and torn apart since they would be dissected multiple times. To me, at first glance, it looked like one of those dissected cadavers with decayed skin and flesh all cut up and hanging off, skeleton exposed…. But really, it doesn’t show enough to really tell for sure. If you think it’s a pig carcass, I’m inclined to believe you.

I really hope this becomes a series like disturbing things on the internet. Love ya Nexpo!

30:45 "Alright, let's dissect this." *Very poor choice of words...*

As an RPG Maker enthusiast - that is definitely not a glitch in The Haunting 2. My guess is that the creator created an event that runs on an “auto” trigger without creating an out while spawning a picture, creating an intentional softlock.

The museum of anything goes is my favourite piece of media in history Thank you for bringing it into the limelight 😌

What if Q is just like a vrchat player with full body tracking now, you just find them in random lobbys staring at the mirror lmao

I really appreciate how you incorporate found footage esque style into your videos, it makes me never lose the track

this was actually the most terrifying video you've put out in a while lol.

Of course it’s Vinny who finds weird shit. The only other guy who has that ability is Joel But fantastic video as always. I really enjoyed it

I get literal chills when I hear the first sound of the intro. You never disappoint Nexpo, keep up with the amazing work

I really like the bumpers between sections, gives a nice moment to reflect- hell I adore most everything this channel puts out! Fuels my addiction to internet mysteries and horror stuff :>

Despite how terrifying and dark Nexpo and other similar creators (MamaMax and the rest) tell these tales to be, there's always some form of comfort knowing there's people out looking for us and being our "friends" during these strange events and weird stories.

one obscure video game that really fascinates me is "puppet motel" by artist laurie anderson. not many people know about it, but there are full attempts at playthroughs here on youtube. the game has no real motive, and was designed to be a sort of exploratory journey through the subconscious mind via the computer. very odd and intriguing.

I love ur videos!! I’m on such a binge right now, watching almost every series. you’re so entertaining and your work in general is just amusing but also incredibly creepy and chilling at the same time. I cant get enough

Honestly I don't know what I'd do without nexpo this channel is just that great

NEXPO you should make a video on happy meat farms(this place is not happy), looks interesting

NGL, but your laugh at 12:32 made me jump. I love how your videos make me feel like some creepy face is going to rear its head around the corner of my room but I'm still watching and I can't stop.

Honestly the hearing Nexpo laugh was the scariest part of the video

Can’t begin to express how much I love this channel. So eerie and interesting!

Holy crap, this one really had me terrified lmfao. I did prepare myself by reading the comments before, but that didn’t make a difference. Blessed to have early access, great job as always! 🖤

I wish Nexpo would read the keysmashes in his creepy narration voice lmao

I'd love to see this as a series, it's two of my favorite interests combined into one! Also I'm glad to see that the Nobody outro is back, I love that song and I'll always associate it with Nexpo videos 💕💕

You legit are the LGR of horror I’ve been seeking. 2:20 was an epic nostalgia trip. Tysm.

Saint is a mystery in itself. He rarely talks to anyone even on his streams and if he does he's talking nonsense. Probablyu the most elusive streamer ever. He's been around for a LONG while and he's affiliated with a group that makes very bizarre and completely unplayable at times freeware games the most popular of them being Revenge of The Sunfish which found its way onto youtube and Twitch. The other prominent figure was Kimberly Kubus most well known for his "Johnny" series who has been making his games since 2002 and committed suicide in 2014. If there's anything in the gaming world worth investigating it's them.

The whole family now gathers with popcorn to watch your vids like it’s family movie night. Also it seems more than half the imagery in the Museum of Anything Goes is of various places and objects in Chicago.

I found this channel py pure chance while searching for camping stories and then i clicked on a video of Nexpo that looked promising....This man's voice...the editing,the editing,atmosphere,lightning makes you so intrigued ...its enough to make a man sick....You won a subscriber just by your theme AND the quality of his videos and sources is top-notch....Keep up the good Nexpo

The creepy picture at the glitch in Haunting 2 looks like a distorted and shifted image from some medieval painting. The eyes looking of to a distant point, the possible headdress and colors of the clothing kind of look like a baroque painting (I'm not an art historian so don't quote me on that). Since the picture looks enlarged, as if it was in the background, shifted 90 degrees and darkened would make it very difficult to find in a Google or even visual search.

It's 1 am, I'm here, I'm terrified and I'm LOVING it

Hey Nexpo, just wanted to say how much I love your content, your dedication, and your style. I took a deep dive into this style of content about two years ago, and unfortunately I think it was influencing my mental health a bit. But I just want to say thank you for making awesome videos, and exploring the mysterious! Stay cool!

So glad to find more people on KZfaq discussing Museum of Anything Goes, I literally ADORE that game. It's so weird and creepy! Anyway, I'll definitely be subbing, coolest channel I've found in ages!

it was so unbelievably heart warming to suddenly hear Vinny's voice from this video

I'm genuinely impressed by the fact you held back from saying "but that's just a mystery, a game mystery" becuase you didn't want to break the suspense , but still left the connection for the viewer to make themselves.

Saint just plays weird games no one's heard of, that's his schtick. Been following him for a while.

PLEASE make a part 2 or even a series for mysteries in old obscure video games. This video was the closest to perfect along with the drowned god video and WE NEED MOREEE!!! Much love.

Japanese RPG games, specially horror ones, are like, an entire thing on their own. Not many make it past Japan though. We do have some interesting eerie games on our side, you should take a look at the Dread X Collections.

12:37 When nexpo said my username while i was half paying attention, it definitely freaked me out

the sheer polish in your videos is always insane, they're so immersive and never fail to draw me in

Enjoying a rewatch, there are few content creators that I come back for rewatch (especially long videos) but this one was a gem. I wish this became a series, if there were enough obscure online games to go around.

An Idea... "Second Life" has been around for nearly 20 years. I'm sure in all that time, someone; somewhere, has to have made something odd worth investigating. I always saw "Second Life" as an eerily-liminal digital purgatory.

Vinny is the only person to stumble upon these things, and even potentially accidentally solve them.

gosh please do more of these videos!! this was so fun to watch!

thanks for making this week even better mr. nexpo 😩🥰

Please do more of these!! Seeing games that probably never seen the light of day really interested me and creep me the hell out!

There's something so eerie about being in an online video game by yourself, like that feeling of isolation online

Hearing all the talk around a maybe corpse, and weird characters and errors messages and then Nexpo mentions 'It's Reyn Time' and I burst out laughing

The fact Vinny looked at that is legendary in itself. If I didn't have such crap internet and low computer knowledge, I'd strive to be like/similar to Vinny or Joel. I love their content.

17:00 It's obviously an RPGmaker game, meaning that glitch isn't a glitch, but 100% intended. If there's not an event entity in that spot triggering this, it doesn't happen.

So crazy seeing Saint in a video. I’ve been following him for years because I love the era of games that he focuses on. His aesthetics are otherworldly. I had no idea Schnell had so much story surrounding it.

Great video, I just want to mention a couple of things about Haunting 2. I have spent an embarrassing number of years in the RPG Maker community working on games and I believe a few of the mysterious around that title are, quite frankly, easily solved by the limitations of RPG Maker. I think you're spot on when you say the gate glitch is an Easter egg. RPG Maker's capabilities do not easily allow for an anti-cheat function. You can also successfully replicate it 100% of the time. It is very, very easy to crash out an RPG Maker game both intentionally and unintentionally, and it looks to me like the creator took some real RPG Maker error text and combined it with their own creepy text before giving the game a hard lock. In fact, I bet if you open up Haunting 2 in whatever version of RPG Maker it was made in and look at the map where the "glitch" occurs, you're either going to find an invisible tile, or a series of tiles (given a set amount of steps activate the glitch), or a local map routine that scans the game and says "if X action occurs, do Y" that then results in the "error" text and the image. The image is also going to be hard, even impossible to search, because depending on the version of RPG Maker, it can only handle so many colors and bit depth. With older versions of the program, images could only be 256 colors, and could only have an 8-bit depth. Finagling with paint in the old days meant many frustrating save outs to bmp or png to preserve as much color information as you could. Not knowing what you're doing, or using a high information image, often results in importing a much lower quality version into the RPG Maker program, and lower quality means image searches then can't match it to the source. Given these limitations, I believe this means Haunting 2 was most likely created in either RPG Maker 2000 or RPG Maker 2003. Dunno if any of this helps. Thanks again for the video.

Honestly the way you were translating Haunting 2 is indeed "less than ideal" but the fact that it's even a possibility these days is such a huge leap from back in the day when your only hope really was to just wait until someone who knows Japanese to make a fan translation.

The only intros that I wouldn’t mind being over a minute are Nexpo’s. So good, and the content lives up to it too.

Another masterpiece. Always great to see a new take on familiar topics, and some new ones as well.
