I love how almost 12 years later after Amnesia: The Dark Descent, one of the scariest encounters in video games is still "what if something is in the water and you have to hop on boxes?"

What I like about the "Do you want to listen to my music?" moment is that, whenever games punish you over a Yes/No option, it's usually because you picked the "Mean" option rather than the "Nice" option. Here, you basically screw yourself over by choosing the option that violates your own common sense.

hearing pastra scream “YOU BASTARD!!” over and over again will forever be the peak of comedy to me

Pastra : *literally about die* His fans : "yo this guy is so expressive!" Lankmann : :)

12:38 I love that Clyde holds that pose for a uncomfortable amount of time basically saying "the video isn't over yet please keep watching"

Goofiness is deceptively perfect for horror. Horror monsters tend to stay strongest when it doesn't look like they were manufactured by man to be purposefully frightening, rather they just kinda... HAPPEN to be horrific. Adding some unpredictable lunacy grants you a nice juxtaposition, AND it just makes the design far more memorable. I mean, we're fascinated by the unpredictability of both horror and absurdity, they're meant to be together.

5:05 The idea of a hoard of mannequins coming to life to jump you and kick the crap out of you is both hilarious and terrifying.

genuinely I would die for Clyde, Clyde is absolutely so friend shaped for such a spooky design

I nearly choked when he started playing his music for you. The bass shaking the whole room and leading to your character's demise is funny and horrific.

Lankmann probably won’t like me saying this but I like Clyde’s redesign. His emotions feel I bit more genuine

The group of mannequins bum rushing and just wailing on the dude running for it had me laughing because of how it subverted the mannequins disappearing from the store trope

finally, pastra can cross his arms like every good youtube avatar

Levity is an absurdly powerful tool in horror. Being as gross and horrifying as possible constantly can get boring. "Even a monster at the door can become a familiar comfort." Letting your player feel safe, or even outright making them laugh, can give them a high, which will make the next valley of horror so much worse.

I love how one second the mannequins are just chillin, and the next they are kicking the shit out of you, 10/10. Also, loving Clyde’s updated design, his new expressions are great! Hope somebody doesn’t get too jealous~

I just now realized Zeekers was behind Lethal Company too bro is just a banger MACHINE

11:42 “wants to see other games, and is very interested ” zeekers makes most popular game right now, Lethal Company

Another aspect of the frantic feeling is definitely the animations Everything in this game is immensely fast. Like every normal animation has been speed up by x2. That means YOU instinctively try to move, think, and act faster, I love it.

Clyde’s new design is so expressive, and I Iove seeing games I’ve never heard of before that look so enjoyable. I love your channel!

12:28 Pastra: Goodbye for now. Also Pastra: *has Clyde hold that pose for 13 seconds.*

I love how even when being kidnapped by his own creation pastra is still one of the most entertaining horror youtubers I've ever watched (Thiught I'd mention this as well since it's quite funny when I tried to type pastra my autocorrect decided to turn pastra into pastrami)

Lankmanns voice always catches me off guard. Every time I see him I expect some sort of deep raspy voice but he starts talking in that somewhat high pitched voice and feels very out of place. Somehow that feels more fitting though

2 things. 1: I like Clyde's redeisgn it makes him look more emotional and a bit less derpy. 2: I'm now interested in the game despite not being a person who really plays horror games and I also like Ick's design as well.

The success of Zeekers is really something I appreciate more than anything. They've got their own whole type of silly horror, and it really works in their favor by making a both VERY fun and VERY scary experience

Okay but can I just say that Clyde's glow up is fantastic! The zipper is a small change but it's size gives an extravagant feel, and every expression feels so real despite Clyde's unrealistic anatomy, with the eyes and mouth narrowing and shifting and the arms and tail twisting and curling. Really cool I'm not generally a fan of horror games, watching content about them is more my speed, but I might just check this out. Great job Pastra!

I like the new design for Clyde. Can't wait for pastra's jumpscare compilation.

I love how everyone is talking about Clyde's new design and not the fact that pastra is literally crying out for help 😂

"I really want zeekers to get the support he deserves for making such great games" And then he did

I think something that adds to the chaos of the game is that there are no frames between when the mannequins are still and when they start moving after you. They don’t have any wake up animation or anything. It’s like one second things are calm and literally a second later there are a bunch of mannequins attacking you

pls keep finding strange, hidden, and unique horror games to share with us, ur becoming one of my go-to channels

I really love how pastra just has the perfect amount of detail in their reviews without really spoiling anything

"it's just a prank bro" The prank: 10:12

Ick's smile being a pulse is jus such good character design, using the spikes of the heartbeat as fangs

Love the new changes to Clyde! The oversized zipper fits really well. Also, the way Clyde looks semi-sleep deprived is a really good touch given the Lankman ARG

Honestly just adding the zipper to Clyde's design makes me like it a lot more and I have no idea why

Theory about pastra lore: The zip means that someone can get in Clyde, I believe that lankmann added the zip to stalk what types of videos we will fully watch, Hence why this video was made because the video about it steals was well liked

the way Lankkman is shown, from the design to the poses (specifically when you see the very human looking eyes), are incredible, and Lankkman actually gives me the chills (I felt a chill run through me). Incredible job!

This game is so incredibly goofy, I can’t wait to play it myself!

Clyde having a zipper has so much character potential

The creater just released a multiplayer game called Lethal Company that reminded me so much of this game

I had seen this video and the It Steals video in the past and I'm just now realizing that this is the same person who made Lethal Company, this is why I enjoy it so much

Not even a second and I'm in love with Clyde's new design!!!

I like the new design for Clyde. The zipper makes him look really different

I didn't even know it, but seeing gameplay of the new horror (and really funny) game "Lethal Company" and seeing all those goofy and chaotic animations, the simple graphic and texture and most importantly, the sprinting animation, it reminded me of The Upturned running animation, so I checked it, and yup, Zeekerss made one hell of a new horror, chaotic and funny MULTIPLAYER game, he'll gain even more notoriety with that, hope he will continue on that path, and I really wish you will make a Lethal Company video with some compilation of you playing it with some friends of yours!

I love the “throw anything” mechanic. It was also used in a roguelike called “going under”

Lanky I have a question for you: What's YOUR favorite horror game that Pastra has covered?

Clyde's redesigned postures look awesome, the old design has a place in my heart but this one is overall more expressive and I love it! also H̴I̷ L̵A̵N̴K̴M̸A̵N̴N̴

Even the player animation adds to both the comedy and the horror- in the lower stakes moments the cycle looks goofy and fun, but it quickly becomes very panicked looking during enemy encounters and higher stakes

Clyde seems more uncanny, yet more grounded, which I love. The out of place eyes, the windier poses, and the even less recognizable expressions take my favorite things about Clyde's old design and cranks them up. My big problem with Clyde before was that, as chaotic as his design was, it just felt too empty. There wasn't anything that piqued my interest or tied him to reality in a twisted way. His freakish nature wore off by the third video I saw him in, which was kind of disappointing since when I first saw him, I felt a pit in my stomach and the design was so sickening it made it legitimately hard to watch the video (which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it). But that zipper, oooh boy, that zipper. That gets the gears turning. He's got something that binds him a bit more to reality, making his unrealistic qualities far more impactful. What happens if you open the zipper? Is there something inside? Is Clyde just a suit? It's such a dominant feature now and makes him go from a stupid orange gremlin to some fucked up otherworldly being that mocks our understanding of how things are supposed to work.

I love Clyde’s new more detailed design! Definitely gonna stay updated on your art on insta because it’s genuinely so cool and unique

Just the way the player character moves with the rapid flailing fills me with stress on its own *without* even considering the monsters that move similarly rapidly.

As someone who considers themselves part of the writer's community, HOLY SHIT. Combining comedy and horror- those are two genres that just don't like each other. They repel like magnets facing the same pole. This game is an example of flying too close to the sun and *succeeding* and I cannot express in words how impressive that is.

I love Clyde's new expressions! His smile is scarier than ever, terrifying, also I love his sad-like expression at 1:40. (sorry for misspelling any word) Edit: (more feedback that no one asked for!) At 2:58 he looks absolutely... grumpy and disgusted, Again, he's so expressive now. 3:09 Him having a circle-like pupil but then having the funny stick pupil is so terrifying, I absolutely love your artstyle. 4:32 looks like my face after my friends say "What's ligma?" 9:27, He looks way more twisted looking than ever "I absolutely adore" his new expressions *stock laughter* Also, nice claws.

First off, I am loving Clyde's new design. Second, even though I am terrified of what might happen, I'm really excited for Lankman's game! Also this game seems like so much fun, I found the part with the "Fat pj man" at 6:00 to be really fun but also panic causing. The upside down room around 3:48 and 3:51 also seem really fun!

Lankmann: **hates Clyde** All of Pastra's viewers: let's pretend we didn't hear that

I love Ick's desire so much, its simple, but has a few of details that separate it, namely the teeth and how they form a wave similar to a heart monitor. Its really cute and clever.

Zeekers has recently made a original Resident Evil like game that from what I’ve played it’s pretty good. On a side note? Your voice acting at the end of this video was spot on man!

I was thinking that clyde was too simple and since it was based on your own thoughts most new fans wouldn't get it but now that it's more detailed I think any fans new/old would love it Good job!

YES, a youtuber that makes actually unique content. keep this series going, talking about video games and such, it's really fun to watch.

It's great that Zeekers is getting some recognition now with Lethal Company (though some antifurs are kinda fucking with his personal life) and people are even going back and playing this game because of LC's influence!

I took a look around Zeeker's Twitter, and I absolutely fell in love with their fursona, and their artstyle.

New design looks sick. Your art style is so unique! I love how you can see more emotions coming from Clyde. Keep up the good work! (Also, do you have a Discord server?)

The goofiness of a horror game can leave you scrambling to hold on to said goofiness and dreading when the game goes back to horror. One of my favorite pieces of fnaf 6 was when I noticed, not unlike many others who played it, that I was desperately holding onto those tokens in the day section and trying to avoid the night section. It just works

i love how pastra broke a window to get a medkit and then didnt use it or take it

Random fun fact: pastra confirmed that Winfrey would taste like toffee 😀

Okay, I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I've never commented. I absolutely adore your art style, it's a perfect amount of uncanny to still be very charming, and I like the somewhat recent addition of the other character you're now playing with. Keep up the great content, I'll be watching for a long time!

Fun fact about Zeekerss. He originally started off making really well-made experimental horror games on Roblox before he moved onto creating the games he is known for today like It Steals, The Upturned, and Lethal Company.

3:22 when he threw the door, I lost my fucking shit

I cannot put into words how much I LOVE the new avatar. It's much more expressive, but it's also much more stationary, so it's intriguing, but still easy to focus on. Also, the eye movements were a much-needed addition.

Love the new Clyde drawings, he looks hella awesome! I don’t really know what’s happening with this Lankmann situation but I hope it works out well.

Now, EVERYONE knows the guy, it's so funny how I only found this game because Zeekerrs became popular.

Pastra: idk why I love this character. Character: silhouette, yellow eyes, huge grim. Pastra, this character is one orange hoodie away from being Clyde's brother.

Clyde's new design looks great in the emotes!! Also, i see Pastra and I share a hatred for mannequins in horror games, love to see it

10:20 Well that went from 0 to 100.

there's not enough comedy horror games in the world change my mind

I love how The Upturned seems like it's being played in fast foward the whole time lol Great video! By the way, I found your "It Steals" video thanks to KZfaq Recommends, and enjoyed it a ton. I'm def going to keep watching your vids from now on.

Love the new talking sprites Pastra! Hope you get out of your situation eventually!

After watching his first episode of "Dreams of an Insomniac", it's fair to say, Clyde is inherintly scarier than when I last saw him.

there are just so many things I love about this. I may have to check the game out when it's not nightmare-inducing-o-clock. On another note, even with my awful attention span, your videos are some of the only ones I find myself always fully captured in. I love the way you lay them out and explain the gameplay combined with clips of you playing. I love your videos dude

The water slug reminds me of the terror I had to go through playing the early water level in amnesia. both had the same mechanic of a monster waiting for you to dip into the water.

I love the idea of having two different plots going on at once throughout a video, the great reviews and content paired with a spooky little side story goes great together! Ps. I love the new design! So much more emotion and personality than before

Dang Lankmann still in control YOU MUST FIGHT BACK PASTRA

If there's something I like in the genre of horror is comedy. Sometimes the genre of general horror gets stale but comedy is a nice takeaway from the general game. Great video as always.

I love this creators design, it’s very Nightmare Before Christmasy and is really engaging! Great work on the video.

the captions being disabled was genius, lankmann doesnt want pastra to leave secrets in the subtitles

Zeekers is such a good creator! I remember when I was a little, zeekers would make incredible games on roblox. And you’d better believe I played them. “Silent dark”, my favorite of his, had such a creepy atmosphere with interesting lore that I didn’t understand at the time. I don’t know if you can but it’s really worth checking out.

Ok, first things first, HOW did you manage to make Clyde look even better?! From what I see, the poses are exactly the same as before, but the expressions and exaggerations of the art style are just PHENOMENAL!!! And the fact that you showed off a more silly game makes me very happy as you were still able to analyze the quality and detail that went into it which is just so freaking wholesome but also shows your talent in this field. I would REALLY love to see footage of you playing it as the scene of you just hysterically giggling while going "No you bastard!" was just so funny and relatable for when a character screws you over in a game. (Unless you're too busy of course! Remember to take breaks!) However and this might just be the stylization... am I the only one who thinks Clyde is starting to look more like Lankmann? Again it might just be the shape of the face and I'm looking too deep into it but still something interesting nonetheless!

Crazy to think that the dude who made The Upturned would go on to make Lethal Company

Dude im so happy seeing her new designs and how active and lively he is and how you've learned how the character is not always needed its wonderful to watch him stretch and smile like a maniac while st the same time simply shifting his gaze sometimes when a exaggerated movement would be odd, wonderful to see you grow as a content creator

1:37 - Pastra goes full Tom the cat

I like how the mannequins just kick you lmao I was expecting something awful and horrifying when you got swarmed by them but then they just started booting you in the face lol

Clyde is absolutely incredible! I’m always a sucker for nonhuman characters with a whimsical and perhaps chaotic vibe to them! Your voice is also super nice to listen to and I enjoyed the entire video, the way you articulate your thoughts is charming, so I’m absolutely subscribing!

Dude that punishment for saying no has me in tears. It's so perfect for the character *and* the encounter

I love how Clyde looks so much like a monsters inc character

The fact that the character can just throw a couch with low effort is was does it for me 😂

Started playing lethal company and realized he put majority of the misfits from this game and ima try this game now

Welp, your prediction was correct, zeekers made lethal company, and you know what happened next

With such characters that look so alive, i can't wait for Halloween and what you've got for us in stocks.

OMGGGG!!! That's why the mannequin's donkey kick reminded me of Lethal Company's Nutcracker.

Fun fact: the slug in the first water level is named Patricia. :)

Can't even really call upturn a horror game, I love it so much
