    I’ve heard multiple times House of Leaves was never adapted into a movie or TV show because the context and mystery would be lost in a medium change, this guy is just like, “Hold my beer, I’ll do it in Doom.”
  • @FrieBonx22
    The fact that this was FREE and the modder still hasn't revealed their identity, getting absolutely nothing from creating the mod is wild. The modder deserves a REWARD
  • @kingcho6969
    This is the game equivalent of “IM BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN”
  • Going to the backyard of that daycare and slowly turning around to see a humanoid figure just calmly walking towards you was genuinely terrifying and clashed so violently with the loneliness and quiet unease of the previous areas. The reveal that this figure is, in fact, Shrek did unexplainable things to my emotions
  • @DerekWritesPlays
    I love that this took the setup of a normal creepypasta game and instead of cliche "code glitches" it gave you a fully realized piece of interactive art dealing with loss and depression and acceptance
  • @fayah8865
    this went to "how did they manage to put a room ABOVE a room!?" to "how did they create a parallel universe and a mirroring status that persists between ENTIRE LEVELS while also causing different events!?" real quick.
  • @rowanlarson7807
    “Time to fight for your happy ending” is such a badass line especially followed by the huge fight. It gave me chills great video
  • @darkkinkitty
    I always feel like “I want pop” is way more referring to someone wanting their actual father than a soda can.
  • @logans.7932
    My fav part of the whole map: After you look at the S + A tree carving, the game KNOWS you’ll walk backwards while shooting when the enemy shows up, because luring enemies while strafing like that is how DOOM is played. Because you walk backwards like that, you end up at the beach. Master class in game design imo
  • @wheatloathe
    I couldn't imagine creating a magnum opus of a doom map and disguising it as a "My first doom mod" knowing full well my entire work could just go to waste if nobody bothers to dig deeper.
  • @evghb
    As someone who comes from a broken, abusive childhood home, this map was a tearjerker of nostalgia and conflicted feelings. Going through the tumult of the first run, only to turn around and see a “For Sale” sign had me in tears. The dichotomy between hate and longing is tough to reconcile. Bravo to the mapmaker, this is a modern work of art.
  • This mod feels like one of those very realistic and very intense , nightmares of my childhood.
  • @csgoyuri6413
    Everything: goes to shit, realities warping Doomguy: 🤨
  • @EliteEpicGamerz
    one of the most unsettling things about this mod is going into a new area and slowly realizing its just the house again
  • This entire level is a jaw dropping masterpiece. But that absolutely silent dark hallway where the door opens itself behind you is just pants-crapping terrifying.
  • Nobody is prob gonna see this, but because of this video, I just got House of Leaves for Christmas, really looking forward to reading it then watching this over again to see how much understanding the book adds to the mod
  • @S4KMANIA
    Man, this guy sure has an elaborate house setup. I bet his parents were crazy rich
  • @Zadamouse
    The "Happiness has to be fought for" followed by the massive battle was so impactful, this video is such a masterpiece
  • @arcadeoutpost
    Anyone interested in House of Leaves should check out the 2000 album Haunted by Poe who is the author's sister, it acts as a sort of musical companion piece and is woefully underappreciated
  • @-Seager
    The "Happiness has to be fought for." part of the video was absolutely amazing, engaging, a piece of art itself, and you gave a masterclass in storytelling in this video. One of the best gaming related videos I've ever seen and I've been around for a while.
