I am terrible at this game

Hello everyone, welcome, this is a game called Monsters and Memories, and I would like to take a look at it. So, we’re going to do this. I was just experimenting a little here. So this is the character creation screen, right? You can choose your race, like in most games. I chose the ogre. I chose shaman, you know, and I’m just looking at all the different possibilities here. You can distribute the characteristic points. So, I got 10 points. I can put them wherever I want. Quite an interesting mechanic. You see, the ogre starts with an extra four units of strength. The shaman has four more wisdom units, while the ogre starts with minus one wisdom unit. So I lose a little , but I also gain something. As you can see, wisdom seems important to this class. It’s very similar to EverQuest. Seriously, it’s a lot like EverQuest. I’m even surprised at how similar it is to EverQuest. But here you can choose different religions, which seems to only determine the starting locations, but they are all roughly the same. So we’ll just choose agnostic. We’ll look at other things later, but this guy was randomly generated. Then I removed my hair. I tried to make him look like me, but I didn’t bother with it too much . I do n’t even see how to change this one. Yeah, the eye patch won’t go away. Let me take a look. Where am I? Here, I found it. Two eyes. Yes, let’s go. Face. Yes, it looks pretty shabby. He must have seen a lot in his life. Okay, it looks good, right? So, I chose…these are traits that can be chosen. The main feature . I chose “wise” for more wisdom, right? 5% additional wisdom. That sounds interesting. And here, I haven’t chosen yet, but there is a fast metabolism, which gives you more endurance, but you eat faster. Foraging, infra-vision, which allows you to see a little better in the dark. Iron lungs, longer breathing underwater, skill. You get 5% to your trading skills and an additional spell slot. I do n’t even know what that means . Well, I think, I think there should be more information here, you know, an explanation of that slow, uh, metabolism where you eat less food but have less stamina. And for some reason I can’t choose the ultrastar here. But I’ll choose infrared vision because I heard it’s very dark in this game . Well, and then the secondary ones. I chose the shift because it looks like it will be our main skill—healing and other things. Well, I have no idea what other spells this class has. If we look at the shaman here, it just says, uh… well, you know, restorative magic , right? Well, well, we have what we have. And there is another feature here. Have my features faded? So I chose the alchemist. They’re all almost like bonuses to professions or some other buffs, like “survivalist.” It’s just different skills. You start with a small bonus. I settled on the alchemist. I don’t know. I think it will be interesting. Change. We choose her. And it looks like I’ll have to redo it all. Amazingly. But yes, it’s done . And then we’ll do this, uh…one. That’s all . Stamina increases maximum health. Health regeneration while sitting. Chance of blocking with a shield. That’s the percentage chance of being stunned. OK. Wisdom increases the maximum mana pool and its regeneration while sitting if the stat is higher than intelligence. Healing power and damage from offensive spells. Okay, now we’re going to tweak it a little. Eh, 25, 26, 27. Let’s pump that out to the max and put the rest into endurance. I think that’s reasonable. Okay, I’ll choose the place of appearance. Well, what do we have here? Night Harbor. Depths. You can’t start there. Of course. So, we have…El City. I can’t start there either. I can start in Night Harbor. Hmm, I thought there was another place. Different cities. This is very…Oh, here’s another one. Subdocks. The Net of Night Harbor. Right above…okay. Night Harbor. Let’s choose the subdocks. Why not? Well , let’s confirm this. Okay, let’s start in the subdocks, let’s create. And I…Vox. It looks like I have a small book in my bag. A small stick. OK. How…how do you play this? That’s all. So, this is a Unity game, and I’m probably going to complain a little , okay? Unity allows you to compile games for Windows, Mac, and Linux , right? But for some reason, when I downloaded the launcher, which is an appimage for Linux, there is actually a Windows version, and they advise using Proton. I was hoping this was a native Linux game. Although this is not the case. So for me, this is definitely a disappointment. That’s it . But, okay. We are underground. Mushroom picker . Do we have inventory? Oho. Stone. Oh my God. OK. The spirit of small treatment. Oh my God. Small spirit of healing. And oh my god, the icons even look like EverQuest. Berserker spirit. Well, oh my god, I have to use this little hint at the bottom. Well, nothing. Where is my spell panel? This, this is a little annoying. OK. And then, oh, it doesn’t even say what it’s doing. Um, or Oh, there it is. If I hold down the right mouse button long enough, it shows this. OK. Treatment will resume. It’s just a little treatment, right? Literally, it’s the same spell as a small cure. And what is this one? Increases your strength by two for 35 minutes. OK. Okay. Skills. Let’s put this on our panel at the bottom. Ogre’s blow. OK. Destroy nearby targets. Survival. Bonfire. Place the torch for initiation. OK. We do n’t have any. So, we have some water. We have buns. We have a moldy note. It is time to accept the gifts of the root or father of rot. Come to the Rotten Ravine to explore the ways of corruption and decay. Look for Roth- Gorm in the cave southwest of the citadel. Okay, let’s see if we can figure this out. Do we have a direction? Oh, no. OK. So, the skills of sense of direction. Yes, there it is . Sense of direction. You have no idea where you’re going. OK. I’ll talk to this bastard. Hello, friend. Can I move this chat window? Oh my God. Take the road to the right. OK. Is there a road here? No. It’s really quite dark. Oh, I won’t lie. It’s quite dark here. Let’s pave the way here. OK. To the southwest. No idea where you’re going. Oh, wait. Wait. Here is the sign. This may indicate where we are going. OK. Shade, shelter. OK. So, the citadel tunnel under the docks. OK. So let’s reread the note. Southwest of the citadel tunnel. OK. Wait. Dry docks. North Gate . OK. If it’s north there, let’s try this way . OK. There’s someone here named Pickles. Let ‘s go down here. I probably, well, maybe, feel sorry for that giant ogre. Okay, we have tunnel rats here. But I can select one of them and press C, right? Aha. Oh, now I’m running fast. I don’t know what happened. The speed of wildlife. Oh, I guess Pickles put “Wolf Spirit” on me. That’s pretty cool. OK. Oh my god, all these rats are attacking me. Oh, I’m in trouble. Undoubtedly. I’m done. I did n’t even notice they were fighting me. Okay, Deep River below. Okay, Citadel. This, well, it reminds me of the underwater zone, the Nirak underground zone, in EverQuest 2. Definitely. Oh my god. Look at this. Oh my God. Run away. Run away. Oh my God. Guard. Guard. Help. Help me. Guard. Lazy guards. No. Oh my God . Thank you. Thank you all . This, well, this is not what I was looking for. OK. Let’s heal a little here. OK. Well, I’m terrible at this. So, okay. It’s like an elevator going up. OK. But we, well, let’s look at our note. Uh, southwest of the citadel. OK. What the hell is this citadel, friends? Can you help me with this? What? OK. Okay. The citadel under the docks. OK. Elevator to Overreach. This is not where I’m headed. Is this, is this a bridge? This is not a bridge. OK. Need more, uh, signs. There is no map here. So, no. I still have no idea where I’m looking. What the hell. OK. Maybe we’ll find it. There is a boat there. Okay, let’s start. Uh, they keep telling me to come here. Okay, let’s continue our journey. I feel like I’ve been looking for a really long time, where, uh, my first, my first boyfriend was, you know? It feels like a very, very long time has passed. Okay, Citadel of the Outsiders . Okay, let’s begin. Uh-huh , let’s see. So, I have some human cards. Let’s just go through here. There is literally nothing in that room . Okay, what do we have here? There is literally nothing here . Okay, this game is in development, right? This is early access. No, no, uh, no need to hate on this, but okay, here we are. here. No idea where we’re looking. There was definitely a choice . Fishmonger. Okay, dog workers. And I think we’re back to where we started, right? What I mean is, I wish my sense of direction would finally work. Let’s read this again. Yes. Come to the Rotten Hollow, study the ways of corruption, find the Thunder Rot in the cave southwest of the Citadel. The only problem is that I don’t know where I’m looking. West. Good. Okay. We have a west. Good. So it’s either north or north. Wait. Depending on where we look, we need to figure out what direction it is. When we know , we can figure it out. Southeast. Southwest. Good. Look, guys. We figured it out. Uh, I mean, that’s good . This is not good. How do I get up? Am I drowning? Okay. Oh. Oh my God. Really? This is something. Good. So what do we have here ? Western District, Northern Gate. There is a cave there. This…He literally said there was a cave here. Okay, we need to find this cave. Oh, wait, wait. Here is the cave. It looks like a cave. Good. What the hell? This is No, this is where we started. What the hell? Okay. How the hell ? What? How the hell? How we got to Oh, man. How did we do it? How the hell did we do that? This is the northwest. Oh my God . I…I don’t even know what…Oh, another cave. Good. Oh my God. Okay, let’s move on. Yes . Okay, this looks… this looks promising. There is some greenery here. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes, it is green. This…this looks good . Good. What do we have here? It’s very dark here. Uh, I have a candle in my hand. Can it be used? Well, like, how do I use a candle ? Place a torch . I just want to hold my candle. This probably shouldn’t be so damn difficult. A painful swindle. I ca n’t even aim at it . So, that’s good. Okay, we have Grog here. Moss. Okay, I don’t like these guys . Let’s go up here . Oh, man. I’m terrible at this. Oh. Oh, wait, wait. There are still people behind here. OK. Who are you? Who are you, Honk? Cunning. frog-water madi. What? More painful injections? Okay, I don’t think this, I don’t think this is as promising as I thought. Okay, let’s keep looking. We, uh, we’ll figure it out. We will definitely deal with this . Oh, oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, feel the direction. I’m going east. OK. I was supposed to go southwest. So, I know I’m going in the wrong direction, but this is another cave. But it’s just a cave that leads around. This is not the cave that leads where I need to go. I’m still going east. Okay . These shipbuilders, they just make a bunch of boats. Okay, that does n’t look very promising. Let’s see. Can we feel the direction? How am I? Okay. So, oh, to go up. You need to pause for a second. Yes, that’s it. Okay, look here. That cave, that cave was actually very promising, man. Look here. Let’s go back here by land. It’s faster. Jumping seems faster. Okay, here it is. Okay , here’s the lumberjack who told us to go the wrong way . I wouldn’t blame him. It looked too promising. It’s definitely, uh, definitely dark. Okay, now we’re going west. Theoretically, we would now be where we started. So, oh, maybe right here. Uh, we haven’t gone there yet, so that might be an option. Yeah, we probably should have started in a different area. Now we are going north northwest, which is also not defined correctly. Uh, look here. Let’s go here . Okay, there are some dudes here, like, relaxing by the fire and What the hell is this? Oh, this must be some kind of beginner’s zone. Okay, so this is maybe where we ‘ll fight later. Perhaps. I don’t , I have no idea, to be honest . Okay, let’s read this note again. Come to the rotten hollow. and explore the paths southwest of the citadel. That’s where we started, I think. So, this is the citadel. Southwest of it should be somewhere around here, right? It is logical that this is exactly what it is. Is there another cave here? Oh, wait. This seems promising. It looks like some kind of cave . Just emptiness. Emptiness for the sake of emptiness. Oh, wait. Here is the owner of the inn . OK. Well, hello, ma’am, can you help me? Uh, okay. Right mouse button. No Caroline, no for sale ads. What are the sales announcements? I just, I just want to talk to her and tell her about my problems. Oh, wait. Here is the hole. No, not that hole. Okay, let’s feel it again. Northeast. We were walking in that direction. Oh my God . I’m definitely not in the mood today. Let’s go to the Citadel. What did you say? I don’t like this low frame rate. OK. Elevator to Overreach. Citadel Subdock. OK. Yes, we were here. We literally came here. OK. And we entered the Citadel. There’s nothing there, damn it , right? So it didn’t make any sense . Since we’re going southeast, let’s turn back a little here. Come on. I would like to do this automatically. South. Okay, we’ll figure it out, we’ll figure it out. Me, I’m here all night, but honestly, it’s a bit pointless. Okay, southwest. Okay, it looks like a hole in the wall, does n’t it? This is a cave. Maybe this is the cave we need to get into. It’s unlikely to be the same one , because it seems to me that we’ve already been there. So, come on, oh God. We won’t be able to get out of the water, right? Can we jump on this boat? No, we can’t. Don’t jump onto the pier either . At least I’ll improve my swimming skills? Yes, I’m improving my swimming. At least, at least that’s good. So, I hope you can walk on this wall, right? No, of course not. Why does she hate me? Why does this game hate me so much ? It was literally southwest. It looked like a cave, right? I don’t see any guy named Thunder. My God . Come on. Get out of there. Ai. No. Don’t drown. Jump . Jump, you idiot. Oh my God. Okay, I guess I’ll have to switch to first- person view. This is poorly done, to be honest . Oh, now we’re… now I’m in the ” flying [ __ ]” phase, right? Why can’t I jump out of the water onto the pier? I should just climb out there. Oh my God. Oh my God. OK. Oh my God. Am I stupid or what ? What am I doing wrong? Oh, wait. Wait. This looks slower. Maybe I can jump on that. Oh my God. Climb up, you fool. East. Oh my god, the boat has sailed. Okay, that feels a bit wrong. Let’s go back. I should just…here. I just swim straight up and then go underwater. What kind of nonsense is this? Is there some kind of jump timer that I’m not seeing that’s bothering me…Oh my god. OK. Absolutely…okay. This… this is the first warning. First warning. The first should have been…although not the second. The first was an installer for Linux that installs some crap through Wine. OK. This… this is the first… this is the first warning. The second warning is a completely ridiculous control scheme that doesn’t work at all. I should be able to jump onto the dock. That is, it is nonsense. I’m almost…I’m almost sure I’ve done this before. Okay, let’s see if we can get through this . So, this is a rock. This is a citadel. It’s the damn cave right there. Wait, wait, wait. Is this another cave? No, this is not another cave. Okay, so this is the cave southwest of there, right? If we head south, that’s close enough, right? Southwest. Okay, let’s take another look here . Maybe we were just completely blind and didn’t see what we were looking for. Okay, we have moss. We have a swamp. We have lids. We have nothing. There is nothing here. Congratulations. Rotten Father’s Blessing. Yes. Yes. Yes. Where the hell is this mouth? Oh, wait. Wait. OK. Press H to say hello. Yes. H. You have nothing for me . here. Why don’t these NPCs say something sensible, like give me a quest? Tell me where to find Rotten Father, because I don’t see this devilish guy. Oh, okay. Birkin, marsh food, madi, shrew, frog water. OK. I’m not…not really. Yeah, okay, I came here, and there’s nothing here. There is no boy here. There’s nothing else , except maybe another room. Which is simply impossible to see. OK. And what about you ? You are human. Gay. Oh, you’re not going to talk to me either. That’s a scumbag. Okay, let’s take a look here. I have…Let’s read the note. Yes. They seem to be saying ” blessings of the Rotater”. Rod of Gorm . Rod of Gorm. No. Wait , there’s this stupid bonfire right here. Hey, you little one. Devil. Yes. Where is Thunder? You son of a [ __ ]. You are an ogre. You are an ogre. Ogre. Ogre. Ogre. Ogre. Ogre. Yes. The same crude query characters. This… This is just some kind of snot . Oh my God. Okay, we still have these painful mushrooms to trample. Is there anything else here that I’m missing? No map to see where I am. Hey, you…do you have something to tell me? Oh, you ‘re going to kill me, right? I’ll put a spell on her when I heal you. Okay. I’m probably the worst player in the world at this game. Um, I don’t want to…I don’t want to google, okay? Like, I feel like I wouldn’t have to google to find the character. Like, I’m in some [ __ ] cave that says go into the cave, right? I, you know, am doing the job. I’m doing all this nonsense. And no, there is no dude named Gromp, unless there is another cave. Like, I don’t think she exists. But like…I mean, let’s keep looking here. I guess that’s right, uh, is there an upper level here? Is there a lower level? Wait, wait, wait. Who is this guy here? Who are you ? Can I press on you? I can’t even press you. There you are. Who are you? Who are you? Wait, he’s coming here. Oh my god, he doesn’t show what class he has. Consider him a friend. OK. Oh my god, is this a Russian game now? Is he doing the same crap as me? I can’t find this mother. Oh my God. OK. What are these things here? Indifferent to my presence. Okay, these are the same freaks as over there. There must be something else here. Spell correction. Steeply. I’m good at this. Okay . Maybe I’m kind of blind. Maybe it’s like one of those mushrooms. Oh, yes. He wrote to me. Yes. I’m looking for a shaman guild. What am I doing wrong? Tell me what I’m doing wrong, man. I’m so lost here. I would do it again . The most logical thing is a cave and no land. Yes. Of course. It’s not me. What is this, unfinished? I mean, that’s how it is, right? If, if I have a note in my bag, then I should be able to go to that place and hand over that damn note. Well, to hell with all that. This whole newbie note in the bag thing is very similar to EverQuest. So this is really strange. I think this definitely still needs some refinement. Okay, let’s go here. Maybe I There must be something else here. OK. Perhaps. Okay. What is in this room here? OK. It just takes me back. What is it? Oh, wait. Wait. maybe I found it. Oh, yes. Where are we going? It’s a dark, dark cave. Oh, we’re just going back to where we came from, to nowhere. Oh my god, I might just… Oh, I’m starting to feel tired. What? But you left. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything to get tired. He is an ogre. He ate. He’s fine. spend an hour looking for this damn new thing. There is nothing in all these rooms . Why do they even exist? I’m like Godzilla climbing a mountain here. Oh. Oh my god. We almost died. OK. Am I, am I really that stupid? I don’t know how to treat myself. Oh, now I’m being treated. What? I don’t know. Yes, Snabble is angry too. He can’t find it either. Apparently he’s out of the game. It seems. I will not give up. I will keep looking until I find it among all these empty houses. OK. What’s behind here? OK. Underdock Citadel Tunnel. Oh, yes. So, we went through this. We found a tunnel. And that’s why the rats attacked us. Okay. Now I know how I got to the other side. OK. North Gate, Dry Dock. No, we want, we don’t need the north gate. We want We want I think that’s all. It’s simple, it’s simple, it’s not there. OK. That’s where I’ll stop. I don’t think it’s there. I like it. This makes no sense. Here, let’s give you a guide for beginners. Maybe, maybe I’m not stupid. Oh, it opens a web page. OK. Say hello. I don’t want to talk to other people. Oh, wait, wait. Okay, wait. If I click this. Oh, I pressed. Oh, there it is. The beginner’s guide showed me how to use a torch. Okay, let’s get back to this stupid thing. Maybe I’m looking for something here. I can’t. Can I set it on fire ? Okay, that’s intuitive . Okay, to be honest , it’s really slow. I only have 4080, so it’s not that good. OK. Say, “Hey, boss. Where is Thunder? You are not friendly. “You’re not friendly at all.” Okay , let’s see. We are in a cave. Where would I be if I were a dude trying not to exist? It seems like it should be here or there. Wait, wait. Okay, let’s read this note again. It is time to accept the gifts of the father of rot. Come to the rotten ravine to learn the ways of decay and decay. Look for the Rot of Thunder or Gorm in the cave in the southwest. Oh, wait, wait. It says ” peaks” here. Piki M. Okay. Wow, wait a minute. Wait. Peaky. Peaky M. That’s all . Oh, hello. Oh, yes. Hello, Piki. Oh, my God. I think we’ve figured it out. I had some problems until I found worm rot . Please help me, man. Okay, I’m going to, I’m going to, I’m just going to try, I’m going to try to hand it to this dude. That’s all. No way. This, this is absolutely ridiculous. I just can’t read, that’s the problem. Okay, we did it. The father of rot is calling, and you are here . His blessing, your gift, is mercy. What? I can’t, I literally can’t read this. Too small. Let me see if I can enlarge it. Can I? Let’s see. Maybe the query allows you to just right-click. I’m sure I can just change the font size. Yes, of course, everything is exactly the same. Here it is. Give us a gun. What life is worth living without decay and death? You and I are connected by this fate. Carry this cloth in his honor. When you’re ready, there’s research to be done. Okay, I’m ready for your research. What do I need to do? I will help you. Oh, that’s it. The flora and fauna of the deep are connected in ways that are not easily understood. The Monaconians are of great interest to me, you see, they hold the key to spreading the joy of the rotator for further study even into the lower abyss. I need you to conduct an experiment. I will conduct an experiment. It’s You, little Me, literally just said that. I will do it. You son of a [ __ ]. You just say the same thing, no matter what I say, you’re just going to act like I’m going to do an experiment. I will do it. Yes, you are not. Okay , I will. Yes, please. Of course. Thank you. Oh my God. I will help you. I will conduct your experiment. OK. I I I can’t, I can’t do this anymore. I really can’t, like I played classic EverQuest, and it’s just, it’s just pointless. Uh, it does n’t make sense. Uh, I say all the phrases to do it. She doesn’t give me anything. I’m not, I’m really, like, it needs, it needs a little something, I can’t even see my damn face. I mean, like this . That’s it. Can I O, F10. F10 hides the interface. My God . I also copied the keys. This is, uh , what is a screenshot? I do n’t know. This is funny. Okay, but uh yeah. Um , I’ll let this game “cook” a little longer. This is early access. She could be fun, but I think she needs more time, because I’m not, I’m terrible. I’ll just say this. I’m terrible at this and I do n’t want to give a third strike, okay? Like, for me, if you’re going to have a bootloader for Linux, you need to install a native Linux client, right? This is number one. also. Um, it shouldn’t be telling me to find a mouth, a gro, a thunder rod, or whatever the hell it is, if in context it means to find this little damn gnome. Uh, I think the wording in that rookie note should be a little clearer. Uh, to find that person. Uh, the only reason I understood that is because I’m annoyed. Uh, you know, maybe it’s just not for me, right? But uh, here it is. This is Monsters and Memories. About an hour and 47 minutes passed and we handed in our rookie note. It’s definitely, well, you know, it’s very EverQuest-esque, but it’s missing something, something that I can’t quite figure out yet. I don’t want to give him a third strike. I’ll wait. I’ll subscribe and try again in a week or two and see if I can get past this place, okay? Maybe next week I’ll make another attempt and try to do everything right. I don’t want to look for textbooks. I don’t want to look for, you know, beginner’s guides. I don’t want to open a website to learn how to play. Seriously, when I clicked on that beginner’s guide, it revealed all this , all this crap should be in the game itself, right? I don’t understand why she’s not there. But yeah, thank you so much for watching and have a great day.
