I present to you THE ILLBLEED EXPERIENCE - DAY 1
A few years ago I streamed the 2001 Dreamcast game Illbleed and had no idea what to expect. The basic gist is that our hero, 18-year-old Eriko Christy, was subjected to dozens of "haunted house" attractions by her father. Her dad wanted to figure out the perfect scare or whatever. Anyway after giving a speech(?) about her experiences, her three idiot friends get tickets to a new horror park named Illbleed. They run off to visit the place because they heard there's a challenge: survive the park and get a million dollars! Eriko's friends never return, so she goes to Illbleed herself to rescue them. Uh, kinda??
Illbleed is simultaneously a theme park but also full of genuine murder and monsters but also each level is a movie. You have to figure out where the "scares" are and label them so you don't get scared. Because see, if you get scared, then your heart rate goes up and you eventually die....?????
The game's mechanics are very strange so I wandered around and died a lot, but a while back Zarla graciously made a supercut of the adventure. All of the beautiful madness, none of the boredom! I'll post more parts as the month goes on, but for now enjoy a baseball dungeon, missing horror monitors, JIMMY, the Hassy Hussy, MUMMY POPCORN DELICIOUS, worms, and the best ending to a level ever.
