My favorite theme in Yames' Games is how at peace or accepting the characters usually are about their circumstances. Most horror games are about running away from monsters, Yames makes you approach them yourself.

Yames is a very unique creator. His games are a work of art. I've also communicated with him, he's a pretty chill guy.

[haramsaddam]

I really hope Yames finishes discover our bodies. As small as it was, the first game was amazing and disturbed me in a way I hadn’t felt since the original dead space

[supertaoman]

The part about shedding your hands to "evolve" made me irrationally annoyed. Like, buddy, growing those things shot us up to the top of the food chain. Dont you DARE call them useless.

[BrokenFingerParadise]

Water Womb World looks really cool, very lovecraftian (I know that gets thrown around a lot with any water based horror but I think this more applies to religious themes that it being cthuluish or whatever)

Perhaps the knowledge Adam gained was his own individual thoughts, his own personality or soul if you want to call it that. It seems like those closer to the 'god' creature became part of a hive mind and pretty much unthinking hollow organisms or even appendages of the god. People say the eyes are the window to the soul, so maybe the lack of eyes is a reflection of this, like that part of them has been taken away. They lost their humanity and returned to god.

Even the angels showed life in their eyes in the little bit of animation we see and their more personal language, like they are more protectors of humanity creating a shield between them and this 'god' entity rather than being servants of it directly. A weird sort of middle ground, connected but apart. Guardian angels.

A lot of interesting ideas either way, great video, thank you for making us all aware of this game creator and his unique projects.

did you know? the zombie ant fungus actually doesn't have any psychoactive effects to the ants. the ants are fully awake while it happens

The biopunk-esque idea of humans completely rejecting their current form and merging into a fungal hivemind was always extremely interesting to me, but there's almost nothing to play/watch/read about this. Would really love to see more works of fiction that explore this topic... or just more body horror fiction in general.

I have a habit of rewatching YouTube videos I like over and over because the familiarity brings me comfort and this is no joke my new favorite video. Amazing work, dude!

[Bootleggies]

The concept of losing your individuality and consciousness/self awareness is terrifying to me. Hive minds are, for lack of a better word: Inhuman. Kudos to the game developer for exploring these concepts and giving me the heebie jeebies-

[averyspecificdragon]

Water Womb World is my favorite game by Yames, and I’m so glad you touched on it! It’s very esoteric in a way that scratches my brain very well. In many ways, in evolution, the ocean _is_ the womb, as the very first organisms that everything else evolved from were aquatic. _Everything_ came from the sea. Our ancestors crawled from it, gasping and lonely, onto the shore. Therefore the idea that Adam and Eve weren’t the humans we presume them to be, and that the image of God isn’t actually Homo sapiens seems to click right into place. The idea that the Fall corrupted our very beings and twisted us into an alternate form, and we have now become alien to our Creator and the Creator is alien to us. Even the ocean that was our home, our birthplace, we cannot tread. Deliciously esoteric. As someone who grew up Christian, it’s such a cool concept to ponder.

[ZorotheGallade]

The unsettling part of Yames' works is that they don't have a definite antagonist. Bodies, minds, souls, flesh...they just transition and mutate pushed by "forces", which are as helpful or dangerous as one makes them. It really sells the concept of inevitable change that you can either go along with, or uselessly resist.

19:01 "The underwater world inherently holds an undeniable beauty that is hard to deny" is such a banger of a quote

[MSOGameShow]

So I realized something about Water Womb World: Most of the time when a character is of a Christian denomination they'll just say he's Christian, but this time the protagonist specifically mentions he's Catholic. I think this might have been purposeful because of how Catholics understand Heaven compared to other Christian sects. Most people think Heaven is "We're standing here and God is over there, but we're in the same place" but Catholics view Heaven as being (hopefully I'm wording this right) "caught up" in the very essence of God due to how God wishes to "unite Himself" with His children. The ending shows the red "people" being physically connected to "God", and I think it's meant to mirror that Catholic understanding of Heaven. If not, then it's one hell of a coincidence.

Edit: I realized something else. Catholics have a ritual during Mass (Catholic church service) called "Holy Communion" (or Holy Eucharist). What happens is the priest takes and blesses bread wafers (specially made for the Communion ritual) and a chalice of wine and through this blessing the bread and wine go through transubstantiation - the conversion of the substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at consecration with only the appearances of bread and wine still remaining. This is done not only in remembrance of the Last supper (where Jesus said "Do this in memory of me") but also because of John 6:54-57.

"Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him."

When the protagonist studies the red coral, it says it has "neurons" and even says "womb of God". It's practically flesh. The protagonist eats it and slowly turns into one of the red humanoid creatures, and it's revealed God himself is made up of this red coral. He was eating the flesh of "God" and was transformed - abiding in "God" just as "God" was now abiding in him resulting in life everlasting. Yeah forget what I said in my original comment. There's no way in hell (or heaven?) all this is coincidence. XD Either way the creator did an awesome job making the game and I kinda wish it were longer.

The first game reminded me of a real event where a scientist was going to be beheaded by guillotine and told his assistant to count the amount of times he blinked afterwards. Like its morbid but theres some questions you won't get answers for unless the person themselves tell you how they feel.

[engelberthovel]

I will always hear the discover my body narration in Markiplier’s voice, complete with his horror and disgust as he reads each line, lmao. “Ah, you’ve discovered mY ROTTING BONES?!?!?!”

[Crystalsandchrome]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately knew you were going to talk about yames. His art is incredibly eye catching and recognizable and his games have left a lasting impression on me. I love horror, and the games they have made especially so, the concepts they use in their games are absolutely horrific, I Love it.

[Cat-mvil]

Yyames isn’t disturbed. He’s actually a really chill fella.

[ohnothimagen]

The zombie ants remind me of the "Paras" evolution line from Pokemon just how the fugui takes over its mind.

[ThePastaMiner]

i absolutely adore yames. there's really nobody else doing it out there like them. they're style is incredible and i haven't seen anything like it.

[fluffcake]

The atmospheric and somewhat nostalgic gameplay made me feel unnerved but also at home? It’s so alien yet also reminiscent of something I’d see in an old off brand video game. It’s very interesting.
