One of the best videogame plot twists? Possibly!

I thought maybe the woman had dementia and couldn't remember that the old man was her husband, and was fully prepared to be sad at the end...but that was pretty nice

9:02 the fact that Matt didn't see the strongest shape drawn by the cat is disappointing

I like how it took that woman FOUR days to paint four different colors on a painting she had already sketched out where to paint.

That JACK struggle towards the end gave me one of the loudest laughs I've had in a while.

I am always down for more "Matt with time story"

So the old man was Jack and she was the painting of his old love interest. Neat

"I'm one of those weirdos who only eat one food on their plate first" I caught a stray bullet

The start with the radio and cassette resonated with me so hard it's scary. I have a 9-year-old and just because I know she can't stand it I will start with "Back in my day" just for her reactions and every time it's worth it.

Imagine if it actually worked and I could for example think while scribbling and then the precise design or painting would appear.

Nothing better than coming home from a long day of engineering to watch RCE engineer the strongest shape 😌

This game would totally work with VR.

seeing the cassette tape just brought me back to my childhood 😄 and the irritation of when a friend (or your sibling) had borrowed one and didn't rewind it after 😂

”Ohh they’re coffee cups, not semicircles” had me wheezing

I used to think the same thing about writing as a child! I also thought that if you connected the lines that was cursive, so my parents have old “letters” from me in fancy “cursive” writing! 😂

what a beautiful story, wish it was actually animated or an actual film for how good it was

I fully thought and was prepared for the old man to have been her love but she died young, imortalized in the final painting he did of her. That things would become more abstract in the painting as he got dementia and that at the end, he'd add to the painting something like a door being opened behind her, then after the visual of his room changes since he died and maybe even someone new moved in, he'd appear in the painting at the open door so they'd be together again. But i like how the game turned out. It was a rollercoaster of emotion and understanding at the end

The epitome of elegance and art.

That description of you scribbling your thoughts down is pretty awesome. Lmao.

as an artist i can confirm that it is much more puzzling in real life

2:26 the springing Brit called. He wants his theme song back

played this - is gorgeous and has beautiful story

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Never disappoints love the videos always laughing and relatable. Edit: ur really good at story time and painting red yellow and green and your resume is really nice!!

Wow... this art felt right out of Studio Ghibli. Also, double Story Time? We are truly blessed.

The Wallace and gromit clip just brought back so many memories I forgot were there 🤯

Love how for the cassette tape you just overlaid Rule Britannia over the original music.

1:00 They need to get their minds out of the gutter. Clearly this is the "let me do it for yooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" dog.

That was a beautiful game, really enjoyed it

As an artist i can confirm that we all paint 3 lines on a painting and get distracted doing puzzles, making coffee and spying on people around us

I think the old man is Jack, and it’s the story of his love for Amber, the woman in the painting. It’s all of the memories and emotions that went into making the painting of Amber that were the puzzles.

4:07 you might have missed it, being British, but that is not how you make coffee. you put a filter in, then if you have ground coffee you pour that in the filter in the coffee machine, but in the game you had whole beans, so you would put the beans into a coffee grinder (or a blender if you don't have a coffee grinder, but it won't turn out as good) and grind the coffee, then pour the ground coffee into the filter in the coffee machine. you then close the filter compartment and fill the water reservoir with water, roughly the same amount as you want coffee (some will be lost to steam and such) then wait as the coffee is heated up and sent through the filter and into the container. this is important stuff for a struggling artist, since they will have to work as a barista until they make it big, which could take a few decades unless they know the right couches to sit on (if you get my drift).

14:55 B4 it was revealed to be mugs, I thought it could've been a lemon slice and a watermelon slice.

i like the new non clickbaity thumbnail, keep it up!

That was so wholesome. Also the art style reminds me of Studio Ghibli.

Radio bits might be my favorite part of the video

Matt's storytime probably explains more than we will ever know. Matt's personal growth at the end was special too!

Ooh love the art style of this game. Quite beautiful

The styling of this game is super nice, thanks for showing it to us. I might pick it up myself

2:20 expected Rick roll. I'm very disappointed

Its never a simple game of painting when Matt uses his strongest shapes and engineering knowledge. Love the matt with time stories

8:11 That really confused me ! I have his song as my ringtone and I thought I was getting a call 😅

This is gorgeous!

RCE if i didnt know better I'd say that shape you constantly draw is your favorite shape.

That was the most relaxing video from you for sure! Love this kind of thing once in a while, but can’t wait for more timberborn!

By writing JACK bacwards you signed the final painting from inside

I was expecting a MUCH darker twist, if I'm being completely honest. The lady being in a coma, or suffering from amnesia/alzheimer's, the old guy on the other building to be her lover and those being just memories he had from before she passed... I mean, I like the twist we got, it was wholesome and all, I was just unprepared.

Music that gives me energy in the morning: falschirmjager bass beats remix(don’t understand a single word of it, but the beats are great), kickstart my heart remixed by dance with the dead, disco panzer, danger zone, 99 red balloons, ride of the valkyries, general quarters alarm, nuclear fallout siren, and the sounds of stukas dive bombing me. Best way to wake up a sound sleeper is to scare the crap out of yourself and make you think shit has hit the fan and you are under attack. Go from sawing logs to fully awake and alert in 30 seconds. Don’t do this, this is a joke and if you have heart problems, you could give yourself a heart attack waking up. Also don’t do this to someone else, they might wake up swinging. So if you decide to be a dumbass and do this to yourself or others, what happens is your own damn fault.

I thought she's a stalker with dementia... that twist was way less creepy than i thought it would be.

That ending was mindblowing. I wished i played it myself.

that ending what twist I like that more than I thought I would

So Matt doesn't deliberately draw strongest shapes, it's just what he's thinking about while he's scribbling?

9:02 - I'm surprised Matt missed the very strong shape the cat prints took here.

Great puzzle game! I would like to play.

all the knobs is amazing

I was hoping some Timberborners would come onto the radio. Lol

well what did he pay the doctor?

I didnt expect rule britania that got me unexpected

so she is just a living painting in a museum that are destined to live in a repeating memory of a painter that lives in a small locked room forever without anyway to escape

Alright a real civil engineer drop now my day can begin

Interesting… love to see you playing other types of games. This one was beautiful… not as weird as Push to Play, but it had its weird moments for sure.

The "happy ending" we deserved after the massive amount of strongest shapes ;)

"How did it walk up the wall‽" Tell me you're not a cat person without telling me you're not a cat person.

0:57 what amazing art 😁😂🤣

Art style is the best in this game

I thought that the twist was going to be that the protagonist was actually an older, amnesiac version of herself, like a scene from The Notebook or w/e that movie is called.

i thought it was going to turn out that the lady had dementia and was trying to recollect her memories

So trippy. Great video. 😊

i love your vids hopefully you will reach 2 mil before the end of the year!

Gee who would have known the first thing RCE would paint when given a paintbrush was the strongest shape??

Thanks for reminding me about your song, I was having a bad day today then remembered that you uploaded a video and it made me feel better, thanks for your videos!! Always cheers me up 😁

I really enjoyed this game. Thank you!

In regards to the doctor from abroad, tourists tend to not know the value of things in foreign areas. Asking them to just pay 'whatever they think it's worth' generally ends up with a pretty big profit, especially if they're helping them.

On the cassete player I was made to feel extreamply old when my genZ friend who im only 2 years older than didnt know what a VCR was

"There's the bloomin' cat, kick it out the window!" -Matt the Real Civil Engineer, 2023

a masterpiece of a game that is

Actually, from an engineers point of view, coffee is really just bean tee. Just architects call it coffee.

This game had me reeling trying to figure out the story. Watching Matt just rip through it sprinkling knobs about, leaves me feeling a bit torn. It took me forever to figure out the door code!

The moment I saw the animation I knew it coming.

Loved this game. Will have to buy it for my friend

That was an incredibly pretty game.

Interesting take on the strongest shape, we rarely get to see matt draw one from a side perspective rather than top down.

He's starting to understand architecture

he is the only youtuber who did not cry in the last scene

I was considering playing this game after I once saw a trailer for it

RULE 1 Never give mat any sort of painting tool

Have I just seen... a paintception? :D Cheers for the high pitch!

This became a lot more Silent Hill than I expected, nice. But in a sweet way.

😂 ha the unabashed love of England with “Rule Britannia 🎵” love it. If RCE really wants to get his blood pumping in the morning He could play the Stars spangled banner 😁 such a glorious tune 🤣

Not gonna lie, that's some gorgeous looking game, specially the animated parts!!!

That game is so beautiful 😍

Wohaa.. didn't see that ending coming..

About your friends Delhi doctor, it’s not that you don’t go to the hospital and the doctor comes to you, it’s just an option where there are more doctors needed and less present, or it might be medical students getting their training( unlikely since their trainer wasn’t present ) or a new doctor who just got certified and is trying to get work. They might probably didn’t name the price because he knew the patient was an American who would assume the medical bill to be way higher than it should be and would overpay by a lot and in that way the doctor really isn’t scamming by naming a ridiculously high price.

That's why the name was backwards! It was the signature from the perspective of the painting!

23:04 looks like lavender fields

Wow, its so beautiful

Back in your day..? You are old..!! Wait, I am aswell. That explains my enjoyment of drawn knobs...

2:13 Either people older than me are dumb or I just know a lot of old stuff

I love how he's like oh I bet a lot of people don't know how this is or what this is and I'm just over here like it's a cassette player I was born in 2000 and I know what a cassette player is 3 take the little cassettes and you put it in there and then you have the little buttons and you press the buttons it's kind of similar to my CD player that I used to have but for cassette tapes I'm well-versed in the olden time

Oh the Delhi belly was bang on 😂😂😂😂
