It's that time again. As foretold by the oracles of jank, as written in the sky on the dying stars of a thousand cursed systems, a video game of such unfathomable horror came into my possession. Its motives alien to me, I sought to not just capture it for study, but to understand the most important of questions... why? When Tesla said "you may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension" I thought maybe like one or two man-made horrors beyond my comprehension, but here I am with the second terrible eastern European shooter covered on this channel that don't do bullet time correctly. And has a story that could only make sense to a deranged madman, but not a deranged madman like me. 

I started recording footage of this game in late April and it has taken until now to unleash it upon the world. May god forgive me for what I've done here today. Love,

Thanks bud, you made monday much easier for some of us.

Steven Wilson

Eastjank, gonna be an interesting one

gill

we already live in hellworld, may as well unleash horrifying jank upon the masses 🤷

civvie11

No, I've just had a lot of other things dropped in my lap over the last few months

jacob paddison

Oh this is some primetime jank. I know Jarek has been covering all the Cauldron FPS games as of recent. Do you think you'll go deep into the janky subculture of mid 2000s sci-fi east european shooters? There are hundreds out there

civvie11

There's that many? Wow. I didn't realize Jarek was doing all of the Cauldron games, poor bastard. I exchanged a few DMs with him last week because he'd done the only Chaser review I found on YouTube. I thanked him for proving to me that I wasn't crazy and that the game was, in fact, like THAT.

I tried twice to beat that game. I reached after the Mars station level. It was too boring to keep playing. The plot looked like nonsense anyway.

Ilia Loukine

You dick, I worked nights and just was about to go to bed. I guess never mind, sleep sucks anyway.

jacob paddison

Yep, he just did a livestream for their game Gene Troopers (which I've played and personally think is actually pretty decent (I am a sucker for these kinds of games)).

jacob paddison

If you're looking for some recommendations for eastern European mid-2000s sci-fi shooters, I must recommend the works of Orion Games, the fellas behind Dusk-12 and Stalin Subway. They did a game back in 2008??? called Metathrone that to this day still lives in my head rent free. Barely any information on it as it's beyond obscure and did not leave Russia, from what I remember, it was billed as Half-Life meets Anime in a cool cyberpunk world, and tbh, it was half decent.

civvie11

Have you tried some talcum powder?

Kyron Meza

I actually played like 20% of this game (when I was a little kid)... It gave The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay vibes... tho the Riddick game is 100 times better. My memories are a bit distorted by now. Also, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay when Civvie?

skarjj1

the specular effects remind me of those from Neverwinter nights but those were reasonable.

doomchild

Man, I don't think anybody would believe how much I needed a new Civvie video today.

Dominic Briggs

Oh no. You’re playing the longest FPS of all time. I played through this. It was pain

Yarden

You're looser.

Sevengill

Those environments gave me an actual migraine. 10/10 Civvie your suffering nourishes us all.

Steven Raith

It's like.....it's like someone took Perfect Dark and Total Recall, threw them into a blender, then threw that running blender into an open sewer. Then shat on it.

Zachary Long

Jesus, I sometimes attribute super odd stories in Euro/Slav-jank games to translation issues, at least partially but uh.... this was something else entirely.

Hebonked

Oh my god it's Shawshank rawdemption

Caleb Neuhauser

In terms of just how bad Chaser is, how does it compare with the other bad games you have played?

Melon Head

I remember seeing this game for the first time back when Inside Gaming played it. I'm looking forward on seeing Civvie's take on this nightmare of a game.

bird fail the pale

Cancer mouse delivers the greatest plot twist I've ever seen!

JerkingTheGerk

God, I remember watching the old Inside Gaming guys play this game. As soon as the video started, I couldn't wait til you got to the water level lol.

Amon

Was worried there wouldn't be a Total Recall joke. Never shoulda doubted you.

Ikhompyutha

Am I hearing Mr. Hubbardium in the voice acting? For Chaser? That would be too troll if he voiced ANOTHER slav-jank sci-fi fps thriller.

Ikhompyutha

Ah.. Doesn't seem so, but it sounds just like him.

Paskudne

Civvie, you deserve to play a good game. Like Aliens vs Predator 2 from 2001 👉👈👉👈

"MARS ↓ PROPERTY" t-shirt merch when Civvie

Silentphil9

I'd buy a Cancer Mouse T-shirt in a heartbeat. I wish Civvie would put forth the minimal effort to get someone else to make merch for him. Easy money. For Blackjack and hookers!
