after making one video about balls, the cursed judge cannot stop analyzing balls in every game he plays

Please turn this into a series! Exploring games blind! I enjoyed every second of this video, king

It's crazy to see the backrooms as the one relatively familiar and comfortable place in a sea of chaos and absurdity but here we are

The amount of effort you put into scanning the QR code speaks volumes about the type of person you are. I truly respect you Judge Senpai.

Yes, this game was clearly inspired on Osamu Sato's "LSD Dream emulator" There's even references for his art style Cool game, and amazing playthrough

This is my favorite kind of art. Just total unfiltered passion with no care of, or even active contempt for, widespread appeal.

The sphere got squashed because of a unity specific quirk when parenting an object to another object. If you make an object a child of a parent object that has a non regular scale (changed from 1,1,1 to like 1,2,1 for instance) it will also change the scale of child objects in bizarre ways. Everyone hates this useless unity feature.

When the stanley parable part began I almost screamed

For context, season 4 of The Expanse (a science fiction show that cares about the "science" part a whole lot) finds the characters on the first completely habitable alien planet ever discovered. A group of people is attempting to make a home there, but things go incredibly and increasingly wrong as alien tech underneath the surface causes a tsunami, people go blind from eye infections, and a whole lot of other things. I'm only halfway through this video so I don't know if that's significant, but I figured it must be so I brought it up.

You're a saint for putting a jumpscare warning + list.

I think the first game i explored fully and completely blind was probably hollow knight, and it was such a genuinely incredible experience that not only is HK still my favourite game, it made me want to go into every game i experience knowing as little as possible (whereas before I would be fine with watching trailers or chunks of letsplays). There's something so amazing about the feeling you get when stumbling onto something hidden in a game you know nothing about.

that games creator is a prolific artist wow!! its the cutting edge of surrealism! I am really grateful to you for making this video, it's really brought me this game I would have never ever experienced! thank you

I'm not remotely a fan of the game but the style of video was very entertaining, would be happy to see more!

Legend has it cursed Judge did so many gaming analysis videos he could beat games blindfolded

The Expanse is actually a very good series, 10/10

Your editing was super on point king. Might be a weird thing to focus on but your font when translating the symbols was strangely immersive and felt like it belonged within the game. Good work as always 🏄‍♂🏄‍♂🏄‍♂🏄‍♂🏄‍♂

This game wore me out just watching it, but I admire your resolve in going through it.

8:20 okay, now I'm convinced. these statues are clearly two humanoid beings in an embrace, reminissent of some hindou representations of sex 9:50 the vaporwave zone 16:35 okay, this HAS to be a lsd dream emulator reference 17:05 those things could also be a variation on LSD DE 18:27 dammit! Daisy IS a reference to 2001, isn't she? a love declaration to daisy by a non-emotional robot voice, said robot having some sort of mental breakdown... that makes too much sense 20:50 okay, yeah. textures overtaken by colorful japanese(?) characters, whoever made this must have been a pretty big fan of LSD DE 23:27 hi, shadowman! is that were you went after your role in (guess what) LSD DE? 24:10 aaaand now we're in stanley parable! I'm almost surprized we didn't hit this one sooner, oddly enough. 27:23 worn on its sleeves is right to say the least. I don't even think I came close to listing everything that poped in my head as I saw your video

Me thinking he was gonna play games with his eyes covered: 💀

I love the format. It doesn't feel like you're just playing a game, it's like you're telling a story. I think the weirdness of the game fits that really well Also the motion tracking when used was actually super clean and really immersive, especially at 11:33 Obviously a bunch of other thoughts that I didn't write down I LOVE THIS

As a musician, I get the same vibe here as I do hearing the stuff I recorded fifteen years ago. It is passionate, but without wanting to sound harsh, totally derivative- Same way the music I was writing back then did little more than rehash the bands I was influenced by. That's not always bad, per se, in fact sometimes it's the whole strength of a piece of art, providing a fresh spin on familiar territory - But not when the original artwork's main value was in novelty, as it was in games like LSD or the Stanley Parable. Trying to replicate something novel like that risks ending up as redundancy, which is a big shame in a medium as labour intensive as vidya. Sadly I think that's the case here. Hopefully though this is a promising start to a talented dev's career, who will go on to do unique and interesting things; rather than a case of ambition exceeding ability in the attempt to make their first real project into a modern art magnum opus.

When you said the sphere gets squashed when you pick it up I immediately knew this was in Unity. Don't ask, if you know, you know.

Was expecting the third "episode" to be The Indigo Diagonal You should definitely do more, this was fun and interesting to watch! I love b-games!

This is the most unique game I’ve ever seen, and hope to see it fully explored

Blind plays have almost always been my best experiences. It always gives an extra sense of true exploration, like not only is the game an exploration but finding it in the first place as well. Same can be said of films and TV shows as well.

I appreciate channels like yours that dig up weird little gems like this to offer a thoughtful gameplay summary. I don't have time to do that myself lately.

What a fantastic video for this little indie game! I made my own video on it, but yours totally blows it out of the water for the level of detail you've managed to include. Kudos! Also thank you so much for the shoutout!!!

watching one of my favorite KZfaqrs while eating one of my favorite foods (pork, dumplings, and sauerkraut) is a total vibe. love your videos!!

Halfway through and my favorite part so far was flying out into space to touch God, be warped to infinity, and be confronted with a philosophical question.

The first time I remember fully exploring a game blind as far as in these recent days where it is hard to not just know everything about something before going into it was when I randomly decided to play Hypnospace Outlaw. One of my favorite games now

This game seems to be a whole trip. It made me feel all sorts of things just watching and I can hardly imagine what it felt like playing it. That said, I kinda like the controlled atmosphere of insanity in the game and how your commentary provides small doses of sanity to keep things on track. I'd like to see more videos like this and kudos to the game creator for making the kind of art that forces you to feel things wether you're trying or not. That's not always easy.

The visuals remind me of LSD dream emulator. I wish there were more games that looked like this

not me watching every single your video craving for more and then you releasing it in the exact hour. thank you so much by keeping my depressed and procrastinating ass entertained. after the videos you always make me think about the topic and kind of encourage me to work a little more. love you and your content so much man.

this video just feels like a fever dream. please keep making these type of videos in the future

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and really love your style. This video was a fun little twist from what you normally do, and I think it's cool that you aren't trapped in a box of just doing the same thing over and over again. It's always sad when I see other creators fall into that trap...

3:35 HOLY GUACAMOLE nice background

Dawg decompiling the game textures in order to scan a QR code this is why I’m subscribed 💀

Excited to watch this video! It already feels like we are exploring the game together with you. Combination of narration, in game reactions and just gameplay are the perfect balance here. Keeping me from being confused but still needing to think to understand what is happening.

I rarely watch youtube with my eyes totally engaged but i couldn't tear them away from the screen for this! Fantastic job, I would love to see you explore other games like this

Just discovered your work few weeks ago while having my wrist broken. Gotta say I've watched everything the same days and I'm always happy to see a new one. You doing great videos bro they are incredibly interesting and well written !

This video was great! Your experience in making great video essays really showed it’s way in this video. It’s great!

I love this concept for a video/potential series. This was as captivating as your essay stuff but in a totally different way.

This video was great. I love games like this, between the seemingly endless sprawling exploration, the aesthetic and the story. Def checking this game out later.

Dude, I wish I could be new to so many games again. Such good times.

I remember following the dev on Tiktok while it was being made, so glad it's getting some attention.

When you said “going through the door on my left” I got Stanley parable ptsd edit: HOLY FUCKING SHIT I PREDICTED THE STANLEY PARABLE REFERENCE OVER HALFWAY IN THE VIDEO IM SO COOOLLLL

Amazing content as always man! you should make this into a series.

I love this, I wouldn't be mad to see more blind plays from you in the future. I've been trying to play games blind for a while now, avoiding spoilers, and putting on embargos. I started it with Fallen Order 3 years ago it was an amazing experience. Recently I've been trying to avoid Baldur's Gate 3 snippets, but it's nearly impossible. The last game I enjoyed playing blind was Elden Ring, one of the best gaming experiences I've ever felt.

Your dedication to finding the truth to the QR code was genuinely impressive. Thank you for sharing this oddity with us all

This was amazing. I hope you make more!

This is just like Gorbino's Quest. This is the Gorbino's Quest of life.

I thrive for walk throughs of games like this. Figuring out the story with the narrator is an experience that really is fun

This video is super interesting! I'm glad I watched it and I hope more like it might come someday. It just covered something I never expected.

thanks for this! Always a good day when you upload!

After i found this video I went through and binge watched a bunch of your other stuff. You have a very calming voice and your content makes me think, I like it.

cooking this pizza for over an hour, can’t wait to watch

Just found your channel Bing watching all videos great content keep it up my g

I really enjoy all the Videos and appreciate the effort you put into them! Keep it up man!

Wicked vid bro! Congrats on all the recent subs! You were on 287k the other day... Amazing to watch it going up like this 🔥👊🏻

This was actually fascinating. I love your cadence and editing. Please do this again in the future!

I would love to see more of these! Honestly, you make anything interesting

Great vid! You can't miss

I think this form is very welcome. Not as a replacement for your video essays, but as "once every now and then, if there's something really special". As long as it's not too mainstream, because I don't think there's a single new and original thing to say about stuff like Dark Souls etc. Sort of "I'm blind in my playthrough and so is my audience." type of thing.

I have never heard of this game but I have been avoiding watching this video that's been showing up in my recommendations for a while... because I thought the thumbnail was freaky. I'm glad I finally watched this because I think the Indigo Parallel is slowly becoming my favourite type of game. I love small indie games. I love weird games. I love games that feel like an art piece I will never fully understand the full scope of and being completely okay with that. I love seeing art that while it may not speak to me, you can feel how much it means to the person who created it and THAT sentiment does speak to me! I don't know what this game is but I love puzzles and mystery and weird stuff and layers and layers and layers of story and nuance and winding, branching paths and the passion all of this took to come together into one game. Thank you for sharing this game with us!!!

I love your content! This is new and I liked everything from this video especially when I can hear you live in-Game which was really entertaining, thank you for your work, also good Easter egg of your own video 20:33 "out of bounds" also a great video btw :D

This was something i really enjoy youtubers doing, and i would love to see you doing to here and there

this was genuinely cool and also you had a ton of patience to explore this game deeply

The first video game I played blindly and with no recommendation from anyone is AntiChamber and it hooked me a lot to the point that I was sitting for hours and hours trying to remember where the fake walls and stairs were, thinking what else I haven't done. It was a great experience. No walkthroughs. Just you.. figuring out what you can and supposed to do.

This video reminded me of 'Fatum Betula' and I would love to see you make another video like this or even a video essay on what Fatum Betula is. You still stick to your formula and I love it. Looking forward to the next upload

Would LOVE more vids like these. This is a great idea and really fun content!!!!

Love your videos. Keep up the good work. May you reach 1 mil subs in few months.

Damn that’s pretty cool, at around 3:25 when you find that whiteboard with codes: the language they made is Mandarin but altered in a way that it’s not Mandarin but it’s own language. Cool design and fun video!

I lived 10 mins away from cold spring MN growing up, so the bit at 5:58 made me feel at home again.

Cruelty Squad is a phenomenal masterpiece

i love games like this, idk why

no way heypeter on the cursed judge channel??? the judge cinematic universe is expanding.... also your a legend for scanning that qr code

Feels like a mix of LSD Dream Emulator and Stanley Parable edit: I just got to the part where you say this and I feel so smart lmao

I followed this guy on TikTok and played the game for a little while, but this video taught me more than Chris's TikTok and my experience playing the game. I'll have to pick it up again. Now I wonder if there will really be a sequel called The Indigo Perpendicular. LOL.

"the expanse" is a fantastic series of books and a very good show. Just in case you're not familiar with it. Definitely my favorite books of all time.

Amazing video as always..... Fuck man.. You're just too good on these video essays Not to mention your editing is also praiseworthy Keep it up man...

Seems like a very interesting experience. I would like to see more like this.

by far the best video you’ve ever put out please do more of these

This game feels like if LSD: Dream Simulator and the matrix (the in-universe simulation, not the movie itself) had a baby, and I am here for it

i think im one of three people who has played this, its awesome to see some content on it

Out of all this, I'm gonna leave a like and hit Subscribe, simply for the sheer amount of work you put into that QR code.

i love this! please make more of these

Thank you so much for including a jumpscare list. It's my number one issue when watching videos like these

thank you very fucking much with the jumpscare warning

You just became my favourite English gaming channel

I played legend of zelda: TOTK mostly blind and it was a great experience. Also, nice video! The quality has only increased

This is like the best KZfaqr ever ngl

Such a lovely romance story between the Twitch TTS and the Subnautica PDA.

Great video fella!

dude all your videos are amazing...seriously like my favorite channel at the moment. Whether you did an essay style video or one like this, they are all extremely well done. I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of these type of videos mixed in with your other ones. Either way, keep up the great work, your fans appreciate it!

I love this video, very cool

Loved this video!!

many of the scenes in this game reminded me of those 3d renders of landscapes, usually alien, from the 90s. The dev must've been heavily inspired by those as well.

This video was one of your best it's a shame it didn't get a lot of views

very enjoyable analysis, hoping you make another one

Thoughtful video. The irony of course is that this video takes away the experience of being able to play this game blind. I don't know that I would ever have played it on my own steam, but I am now curious as to what experiences I can build off of what I now know about the game.
