Brighter Day (The Brightest Horror Game)

The symbol you saw under the window is the alchemical symbol for Bismuth and Rock Salt, as well as the zodiac sign for Taurus.

On the door, from the top, is:

The sun/sunday/the heart/gold.

Alchemical symbol for gold/the sun, the psychological symbol for the self and the ego, the spiritual symbol for enlightenment/the divine, and the astrological symbol for the earth.

Nothing like a Librarian video to make the day better

Lately i've been pondering the concept of "broad daylight horror" and ways that it could be done, or how to make the daylight equally or more terrifying than the night. Like even just being in the woods in the middle of the day, but everything is strangely quiet and the daylight just doesn't seem to offer you the comfort you would expect it to, and you can't explain why.

You should explore the Skate 3 map in Gmod VR if that is possible.

This is one of the few obscure games that stuck with me since I’ve first seen it. There’s nothing quite like it

first the oldest view/valley view mall and now THIS???
this game is so nostalgic to me, and I thought nobody remembered it at all

This is what it feels like to be in a psych ward

OMG i've been looking for this game for like 5 years after i saw markiplier and pewdiepie play it. i could never find their videos or remember what it was called 😭

Edit: 9 YEARS

Librarian, I really appreciate your channel. Just want to share that as much as possible. I love the trips down memory lane you take with us and sometimes show us new stuff we haven’t seen before. The vibe is always “creepy and comfy” and even when it’s entirely creepy you reel us back in to the comfort zone a bit lol. Thanks for existing

OH MY GOD you are playing this, absolutely awesome game and a huge blast from the past

oh damn, this game is a throwback

666th like yes finally

Markiplier never finished this one 😭

The ethereal sound effects for everything really remind me of Bard from League of Legends.

Is there going to be a playthrough of the first Managerie game; Exoptable Money?

These posters are giving me huge Night Vale vibes, especially the trance and pillar ones 🤭

This game, watched this played years ago I couldn't find it because the video was labeled something alonh the lines schizophrenia simulator or something, now i know it's actually name. Also I don't know who I watched, it was like 7 years ago.

Woah....the nostalgia is crazy

I'm gonna giggleshitter you librar

haha the pink sun
great call back

Yoooooo Brighter Day! I love this game! It's so mysterious and enigmatic, it was around before the whole 'liminal spaces' thing was a genre really, which I believe is partly why I was drawn to it so much.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH. MARKIPLIER PLAYED THIS YEARS AND YEARS AGO AND I THINK A SLEEPER THOUGHT JUST ACTIVATED

The concept of this game always intrigued me because the visual simplicity of the colors and symbols carry a huge sense in the story.
Things feel too sterile and minimalistic, yet deep down a lot of messed things must've happened for things to get to this situation.
And the sound work also has a huge impact because we don't hear typical sounds of physics. Things sound like musical notes or "alien noises" (like when doors don't open), as well as the eyes who has this haunting and loud sound whenever they're close. And this compensate for the lack of soundtrack, which also makes things heavier with the unbearable and suspicious silence.

This game is a work of art that deserves to be studied!

"Don't waste Ink" on an all black poster is pretty funny

You should play a horror game called “QT”!

I’ve been trying to remember the name of this game for years, I still remember watching pewdiepie play it. It left such a striking impact in my memory with all the obscure bright visuals and eerie silence. So hyped to see you uploaded this!

never thought id see a game use mickey mousing, but here it is

The graphics remind me somewhat of station.exe

This unlocked so many memories for me. I remember watching people play this as a kid. As soon as you started the game I immediately remembered the eyes and everything!! I think it made me feel kinda uneasy but I couldn’t look away

NO WAY it's this game again, I've been looking for it for soooo long.

Looks like it's been removed from everyone's brains simultaneously for years and years for it only to show up just now.

I know this is unrelated but can you play OMORI someday in the future? It's slightly inspired by Yume Nikki and I think it would be an interesting game for this channel!

I honestley think this is the best video ive ever watched - no joke. Keep it up! (Also i reccomend a game called the unfinished swan its really good, along with what remains of edith finch)

Very bright

I forgot the name of this game and couldn’t find it again for years, thank you for helping me rediscover it!

I guess you could say every day gets brighter

seems like something I’d play in a dream

I truly can't believe he's playing that game! I thought about it last week randomly, but I couldn't remember the name, only the menacing eyes floating in a silent hallway. Well, that saves me the effort of finding its name :)

wow i havent seen this since markiplier played this years ago

Can anyone explain the lore? Trying to piece things isn't working on my end.

I think I remember watching Markiplier play this game quite a few years ago. Don't think he ever finished it though.

Won't lie this game made me realize what type of horror I fear most (audio based) and it may have started the path down my irrational fear of large tube like areas and objects (large round caves, tubes and such freak me out.)

Surprised to see it resurface like this out of nowhere.

Idea: the main character is deaf. All the things that make noise ingame are things that could plausibly cause vibrations that would be felt. It would also explain why all the sounds are so different from what you'd expect

Oh my god I was just thinking about this the other day and trying to remember the name of it
I remember playing the demo back in like 2016 or something

always wanted someone i enjoy watching to give this game a go after mark never finished his playthrough

I was just thinking about this game a few days ago, it's such an interesting concept
