24:06 scissors color pencils ah yes boom yeah I'm good at gaming now Lynx I don't know if you know this but a lot has changed for me and I'm Tip Top book the history of witch hunts dates back to ancient times the earliest records of bands on magical practices and penalties for witchcraft can be traced to Antiquity however it wasn't until the mid 15th century that a flourishing period of witch hunting practices emerged this was when Pope Nicholas I in a letter to hug Li Li The Inquisitor for France granted the Inquisition the authority to deal with all cases of magical practices and Witchcraft even those not overtly associated with heresy the prevailing document prior to this was the much milder Canon episcopi written in 19 906 in 906 Mia has been behaving strangely lately she locks herself in her room she doesn't speak doesn't eat I did start the fire you fool oh I got to place all the wood okay I'm the fool I suppose okay what

57:58 stuck on the stairs interesting I know that's them like why can't I get out come on man got to throw a toilet at the ghost okay let me go grab a toilet oh throughout the Middle Ages many innocent individuals were burned at the stake however Legend has it that in 1492 a young woman began screaming in an unknown language and casting curses while being burned suddenly everyone gathered around started everyone gathered around started hearing terrifying Whispers The Woman partially burned emerged from the Blazing p and everyone fled according to the legend in the following weeks the residents were afflicted by a strange epidemic as they began to go insane and their skin turned Ashen as if they had been burned not much else is known because the Inquisition deemed eyewitnesses of the event who claimed that the witch had cursed them as Heretics and sentenced them accordingly classic Inquisition have to jump out a dag on

59:40 window all right let's grab the toilet no didn't work didn't work starn what am I missing maybe it's CU I hadn't read that yet that maybe I can go outside now try oh I didn't blow that out I don't think

1:00:37 no no find red flowers oh flashlight there we go there we go I didn't know screaming in a different language sounded different than just screaming yeah I guess if you're just like babbling stuff how many flowers do I need just one now I got to go into Yonder Woods I'm guessing I have to follow that path that I saw the witchy lady lady on what's that over there this way she was over here so I'm going to go this way no it's as far as I can go that way yeah if you're just uh babbling and screaming how's anyone going to know if you're speaking a real language or not should I just go straight into the woods all right this is pointing me straight that way should I just go let's do it let's go oh okay never mind this way I guess follow the forest path I guess this is the forest path yo if you're in the woods and you heard this oh man it'd be so sick to go to like a Halloween like horror walkthrough thingy

1:02:34 and there's just a part where you're walking through the woods like completely black no light at all and you're just hearing that okay we got the grave light the candles read this as Dawn breaks and shadows flee the curse transfers set both Souls free this seems like it's not going to end well for me okay I can't put the flowers there more candles another note to lift the curse from One Soul two must make a pledge one giving life the other the curse the Hedge yeah this is not going to end well for

1:03:34 me I don't feel well where do I look ah my skin I feel like it's burning what's happening pitch black loading screen oh oh no oh God okay let's read this to lift a curse from One Soul two must make a pledge one give I already read this uh written vow to Aid with desire fulfilled one minute spent at night in the cursebound house chilled as Dawn breaks and shadows flee the curse transfer transfers set both Souls free Soul given a soul embraced in the dance of Fate curses intertwin like night and day intertwin like fate okay I see the Rhythm they're going for with the rhyming one word with the same word the which Bears witness As Time flows like verse When The Magic Ritual fulfills and the curse dissipates in the hands gentle Traverse I agreed to lift the curse only if I receive two souls in exchange for one for the first I demanded a sacrifice of Life Mia's father committed suicide I can't say that that word I

1:05:26 accepted the sacrifice however the second person must take on the curse there's a written contract on the table which you signed yourself you sealed it by spending the night in the same house as the cursed person and fulfilling one of their wishes so I'm dumb I'm I I'm a big old dummy as undersigned I affirm my willingness to Aid Mia her challenges pose no difficulty to me I am equipped to manage them and assume responsibility I knew it I am to receive compensation what my compensation I accept this Sacrifice from now on your soul is mine you become cursed you will never die but your body is slowly turned into ashes and dust you will experience slowly throughout eternity what I experienced when I was burned at the stake as a young witch in 1492 that is very cool that's why her skin was slowly burning that's awesome that's such a good idea uh I wish I could steal that that's such a great

1:06:23 idea like you probably guessed I agreed to lift Mia's curse and Mia returned to being a normal girl her mom just left with her congratulations on your courage and sacrifice young man is that who took my

1:06:45 car oh boy oh no the end oh a terrible fate for yours truly wow that was awesome that was so good I wonder if I got all the secrets and stuff I look 16 or are you guys talking are you guys yucking it up in there that was so good uh befriended curse is the game befriended curse what else they make let's see if this uh developer made anything else I know you can't see this but that's just the way it's going to be greed stays home is the other game greed stays home when this is oh it's not out yet nice January looks sort of similar another strange title but I'm guessing they're not uh English as a first language yeah that was awesome so what what can I say about that I mean I so I've talked about this with friends before and uh I feel like the the idea of witches as like a scary thing comes and goes but mostly people think of witches as like Hocus Pocus and stuff but they're basically demon-possessed

1:08:39 creatures you could do a lot with them they can they can like behave like a ghost like they did in this game you know the the actual function of them in your movie or game or whatever story they don't have to just be like someone like stirring a big pot and like saying Rhymes and stuff stuff um saying curses they can you know be a ghoul and have weird teeth and be super spooky like The Blair Witch and uh I feel like that's an underrated thing perhaps uh in movies especially say the Blair Witch does it well who else has done that maybe like uh Drag Me to Hell anyway that was great that was such a good game let's move on to a game called Father's Day

1:09:33 I look 16 wow I'll take that I did just get a haircut so maybe that's it I have no idea how long this game is but I'm trying to just play like scare my the poop out of me games right now no fun stuff just scary I play them so you don't have to The Wizard of Oz yeah like that's that's kind of like are you saying The Wizard of Oz kind of like made witches what they are in the public Consciousness cuz I would say that is accurate if that's what you're saying uh um but yeah witches are witches can be very scary there's a scene in Sleepy Hollow the Tim Burton film with a witch that's like actually terrifying of course there's the film The Witch the Robert Edgar film but um that's a little different take on it cuz our main charact okay we're just walking towards the cabin Evil Dead Vibes I'm in also a lot of the same Vibes as the last game which that's cool I love this also Insidious also doors analog horror on

1:11:13 YouTube check it out yeah no oh my God only scary no fun stuff just scary what makes people go back to the past why can't they let him go and move on okay I think uh it there there are two language options one was Russian one was English so we might have some weird sentences Parental Home first date family picnic going to the city fair with a child these are warm memories but only if you are happy now and if not then these memories tear your soul apart and do not let go you want to go back there and be happy again but you can't what this is going to be a depressing game about regret how to fix one fatal mistake that changed your world I forget where I found this game from but I think it was from the same source as befriended curse pH you have to am i Phil see the deal with see the deal with bad memories from your past is you got to turn them into a ghost and exercise them from your mind P the past cannot be changed free

1:54:28 oh Creator I want to hear the truth the golden egg is that my time machine the golden egg is a virtual world created for the from the memories and actions of certain person and we also analyze what he is afraid of in order to use it in the future the next stage is putting a person's mind into a virtual world EX excuse me so he thinks that everything he sees around him is real then we connect to the consciousness of the person and try to find out what Secrets he keeps in our egg we have created a space for a maniac so that he will not be able to distinguish distinguish reality from the virtual R world and will think that it is his life there where uh while he is distracted our task is to dig into his memories of this case to do this we will connect a person who will explore his world and record evidence for us together with the district police we are launching the system oh sorry about the

1:55:42 yawn okay so I'm guessing I'm the crazy person who mind they're exploring that's probably going to be the twist communication with Henry has been interrupted he no longer gets in touch oh man Henry got beyond the golden egg only a maniac knows where he is now we need a person who has already been to this place in reality he himself will not will not get out of this world interesting it's kind of like that movie demonic from a couple years ago we're calling Jonathan

1:56:33 wait be careful evil knows where to look at this one has a lot more convoluted of a plot and I can't follow it I'll be honest but as long as scary stuff happens that's cool Jonathan showed me how it was but don't go beyond the boundaries of the world it's dangerous oh am I no okay I was in this place 20 years ago it's like it was yesterday okay okay no flashlight all right let's go uh I need my video camera oh okay take nice Outlast what's that what is
