"They're gone?" That wasn't a question.

Higher and FARTHER, not further

That's 109 yards

The snapjaw does not look at all like a shark.

I originally thought trying to take the spear was hurting the mermaid.

Why doesn't April swim?

You should've included the demo as a bonus video.

I think the fish orientation is intended. I noticed them when first entering the village, recognizing them as the game symbol.

I feel like this game starts off on the wrong foot if the goal was to introduce new players to the genre. Starting with Rosella's chapter first would have made a lot more sense because in Chapter 2 you have several NPCs to provide hints, one gives you a list of items, and there's no looping areas to get lost and die in. Valanice starts with no direction apart from FIND ROSELLA, which she doesn't do until the end of the game, and no sign posting apart from just wandering aimlessly. But the reason they had to force this as the first chapter is because they insisted on switching between the two characters and end with Rosella and her chapter is an even one.

Is your username from Escaflowne?

TAY HAS PTEROSAURS. I'm so happy

Kung Fu Panda vibes from the water puzzle...

I still can't figure out how Atrus expects to restore D'ni with an imprisoned wife, a psychotic father, and two burned son-books..... will he and Catherine have more children, then who will they ewwww lol.

Could we see that the drawbridge switch was a ratchet in the original game? This looks awesome, and nicely coded

In my playthrough I first approached the village from the side where the sub was, so I was able to go down the ladder and flip the switch to keep the heater on before the water ever closed. Once I finished the game and read though the guide, I was quite surprised that there was even a puzzle there. 😅 I was operating on puzzle game logic: the ladder and switch wouldn't have been there if you weren't supposed to flip it at some point, even if I didn't entirely realise what it was for at first.

i think, like how Rivenese water microbes do whatever they can to avoid heat, the Stranger does whatever they can to avoid getting wet. on another note, i had to stop watching before episode 5 (fitting) because i actually ended up being able to afford the game, started watching again after beating it myself, when you'd uploaded episode 11. loved it, and also loving watching your playthrough as well!

Just wanted to inform you, the magnifying glass will show a mark on the rotating domes for the correct symbol. Not easily discerned on my system, however, it is there :)

Shrek stole every idea from the KQ series.

I was so wanting you to give him salt water again the second time. Just so Valanice could get a sadistic chuckle out of it. She looks like she could use a good laugh.

I think Graham died because he feel those few feet on his neck/head, which would kill most people.

Omg, it showed Peter Falk as the narrator, but it's not actually Peter Falk? You made me excited and heartbroken in a single moment. I've been watching a lot of Columbo recently. :) Also, the animation is one of the big reasons I didn't buy this game when it came out. The cutesy Disney facade that works in snapshots, completely falls away after watching more than one frame at a time. I wasn't a huge fan of the Disney-wannabe aesthetic compared to the previous games, even before seeing the dreadful animation. It seriously reminds me of CD-i Zelda cutscenes every time I watch it. *Shudder* KQ6 is definitely the definitive KQ game, IMO. KQ3 had a really cool premise that led up to it. The sneaking element was really interesting in that too.

Hi Svehn! long time watcher and Myst fan. I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos all these years. I've been following since Uru days. When i started playing this series I had no one to talk to about it, even my other gamer friends didn't play this series, but I feel like you've been great company for all of us in this lonely, puzzling life. I'm looking forward to seeing you explore Tay in a later episode. It's been 27 long years, but the ending is not yet written!

I assumed that the first symbol you found in this video was some kind of jumping insect, but you're probably right that it's a butterfly. The cave with a door under the lake must have been patched at some point, as Josh George recounts in his review on how he drowned in one playthrough when the door opened and the water came rushing in to kill him.

Nelah probably knows Catherine by that name, else she'd have read that note, tilted her head, and asked her: "...why did you not sign this with your name?" Also, THANK YOU HODOR! (Wait . . . wrong universe.) Um, yes. The door. THE DOOR. The second I saw you uploaded Episode 1 of this series, my first thought was: "PLEASE let us be allowed to explore the tree." That was the one of the two major disappointments I had in this game (the second being the one I mentioned in the comments of the last episode). I'm so thrilled.

It would be pretty funny if they added a nonstandard Game Over if you stayed too long in the water hole. Like it closes up, you're underwater for five seconds, then you see a whark approaching (horrifying in VR) and then you get a reload screen.

Welcome back

44:03 I've always wondered if this was the same linking book to K'veer that Gehn left for Atrus, along with the Riven book in "The Book of Atrus" In which case the face on the cover could be Gehn's father Aitrus.

When I first got to this section of the game, I was genuinely worried we wouldn't get to see the inside of the big tree at all!

Catherine's journal is long. It took me half an hour to read through the whole thing. Reading out loud takes a lot longer than reading it to yourself.

I've just realized something, there hasn't been any tremors for a while, does that mean Atrus has resumed writing in the Riven book?

I've seemed to had a variety of thoughts while watching along this time, each their own separate thing. Really just things that I was pondering as I saw them coming by I guess. The first being on the fish swimming down question, it is quite strange and the only two branches of thought seem to make potential sense. Either the microorganisms in the water are for some reason moving upwards around this particular fish, but not the other fish types, but in any case in flowing so is forcing the fish to swim against this flow. Or perhaps they might be some kind of particularly specialized bottom feeding fish, and so they are always scanning the ground for food. Or rather they might have evolved to the point where this is simply their normal orientation then. I guess This could make some sense considering the traps for these fish are all being placed at the bottom facing upwards, so clearly aiming for a fish that swims down. Another thought of mine is back to your guess of that symbol on the tree representing a beetle, which now in hindsight seems far better then my guess it could actually be a tree. Especially now that I've see the symbols again in the underground room. It's hard to argue that they wouldn't all be representing animals on those pillars, especially as they all seem to have a mark for an eye. Ah well, so it goes while guessing with puzzles I guess. Also quite interesting that the Rivenese have a linking book hidden behind the water that seems to work with out needing a large power support system, though possibly it does need that crystal to work. If it does, I suppose one would speculate it filters or corrects for something. Or thinking about it more deeply, it seems a little unusual that you'd create a special channel for light from above in this cavern if there was no purpose, perhaps it filters that light for something to help the linking book work better. Lastly, I've been wondering this for quite awhile now, but where did all these extremely large tools come from? At least one seems like a Rivenese type weapon but ridiculously oversized. And it seems a bit dubious the Rivenese would have just stuck such an item there... though who knows for sure I guess. I suppose it is interesting that the Rivenese tool is on their main island and the Daggers are if I recall correctly on Gehn's islands. If that is the pattern I guess in some way it must be deliberate... though it seems like an odd things to do for either group. As in, I struggle to find a particular purpose to it beyond being particularly expensive way of marking. Still... no other purpose or reasonable origin for them has come to mind for me so far.

The hand symbol looks like the spell is coming from the pinky.

That's a moth, not a butterfly.

At least she didn't try to take it and say "Blast. I can't reach it. Hmm..."

The two guards were ready to ambush Gehn, instead they captured Svehn. :P OK, it’s a really silly comment, but the game Is beautiful and it speaks for itself. As someone already said, being able to traverse the two adjoining water holes was awesome.

2:32 Alexander 'stairs' with wonder

My favorite thing about this remake is that all the places you wanted to explore but couldn't...now you can.

Take the micro scopic for a reasonable reason why ecological changes have become more aware of the universe itself as a whole grouping of bacterial species that can manufacture different types of anomalies like portaling the body languages and potentially more complex diseases that can lead to bad or good things to happen like a virus or something else like a cure for cancer or something else otherwise they might just become a source of energy projecting the ability to sort out and assembling a new system of streaming energy the biometric gelatin is a computer that can easily send information to and frow for super position of communications vibrations and resonances of a tallow flow from the beginning of mankind's journey we've been leaving a signature of everything we created in the past history to the extent of the future of humanity ❤

April needs to gain some weight

The fish think you're walking upside down lol.

Just as Atrius was a puzzle man makeing different forms of clues to find out about the ages and finding the way out to other ages the antagonists could find themselves in a different story ancient times and the tallow flow of harmony's vibrations and resonances of the journeys ❤

At his first playthrough, my brother went to the defiled Ghen statue at 2am, and the Moiety voices freaked him out.

So that's a trompe?

Leaving the holes open give a good chance for the bad guys to find out the symbol so close everything that you open or may e someone else will show up and kill you or ha e to kill them ❤but maybe you should have used them by convincing them to help you out with the opening closing part

Mulled wine? That's what you want?

Wow, I can't wait to see the rest of Tay. I like the fact that they've allowed you to explore it in this version.

44:24 Huh, I never noticed that the crest on the cover actually depicted a face. Maybe it's supposed to be Ri'neref, whose face is also depicted on the floor of the chamber in K'veer?

I suggest making “on the frottom” an actual word! “Look at this spoiler on the frottom of your car!” “There’s something on the frottom of your shirt”. It has a nice ring to it

34:08 I wonder how it was engineered that the book could protrude like that and the skylight open at exactly the same time. I imagine it would require significant expertise to make that happens at exactly the right time and in such a dramatic way.

The "butterfly" symbol looks more like a katydid to me. Also, how on earth did someone paint all those symbols? I can understand the fish on the cliff walls, but the symbol in the chimney must have been a pain to paint.
