• 01/06/2024 @c_x_3: Andrew has finally managed to truly, clearly, hear back from Chris. Call that a Christmas Miracle.
• 02/06/2024 @Nightengalenight: You mean a CHRISmas miracle On a side note I've been sobbing for the last 20 minutes
• 07/06/2024 @gattasara: ​ @Nightengalenight same 😭
• 08/06/2024 @copper1807: i want to cry
• 08/06/2024 @gattasara:  @Nightengalenight  yeah
• 10/30/2024 @nazmiadha1320: Yep and it only took him 28 episodes better than anime pacing 🙃
• 01/06/2024 @octoburr426: Dude, you did it. you’ve made an investing and emotionally impactful series. i hope this project has been fulfilling, and continues to be.
• 01/06/2024 @chopstick3555: YES!! hopefully!
• 01/06/2024 @TheSufferG: I don't know why, but I got really teary-eyed on this one... maybe over the thought of being able to reconnect with an old friend... that would be nice.
• 01/06/2024 @testerwulf3357: Same, It really felt like someone longing to reconnect to find out why their friend disappeared..and the friend wanting it just as much.
• 01/06/2024 @Tort_t0: I also don't know why I felt like crying because of this video. Although I don't know English well And I'm just a sensitive person And I like all the videos from this channel for their atmosphere, although I don't know half the words lol
• 02/06/2024 @rainocelot1349: same, I almost cried
• 04/06/2024 @mrsurge4789: Andrew feels confident that his encounter with the smiling entity has vindicated Chris even though there’s clearly been two entities this whole time: one without a face and one with a face. The faceless one seems to be Chris
• 08/06/2024 @erycastillo6196: The smile guy had the worst ending no wonder he’s mad because of what happened in his let’s play
• 02/06/2024 @baconlettucepotato69: 13:46 unrelated but when he says 'like' in a totally unrelated sentence, the like button still lights up. i find that funny in such an emotional moment.
• 11/05/2024 @sleepyrose69: guy at his last straw: and i’m like, at my fucking wit’s end, and i can’t fucking subscribe to this idea that this is fine, my youtube app: Hey What’s Up Fellas Do I Detect A Hashtag Party Monster Over Here
• 01/06/2024 @alatrom: Andrew continues his way down the path of hope, HE watches his pawn venture down further into his game of chess, And he who can merely spectate revives a friendship. Happy Holidays, everyone. Have a good one!🎉

• 01/06/2024 @sniclops15: HE, the dark specter, lures Andrew closer to his desired outcome Chris, the first victim, warns his friend of the threat, but knowing the stubbornness of Andrew, decides to help him in his journey and to not fall into temptations that HE desires. Andrew, weary and frightened, finds strength in the revelation that, although unseen, his friend is always one step ahead of him.
• 07/06/2024 @EngineerGamingBag: I think chris is the comepletely black guy, and the smile guy is well, the lost soul
• 02/06/2024 @pianovii3350: HE is 100% losing this. Andrew's overwhelming tenacity, combined with Chris being on the inside will be enough. Of this I am certain.

• 04/06/2024 @Insertnamehere684: ZA WARUDO
• 01/06/2024 @dre4mv: this one hits different. you see a new aspect of andrew and chris friendship. like their bonding is very strong, you can feel it. whatever HE actually wants from andrew and how gets strong the more he goes further into is still a mystery to me. i wanna say this series peeked my interest, im glad i had to watch it through like the others. i hope i have to see more. merry chistmas to andrew and chris. hope they found eachother.
• 01/06/2024 @calcifer6142: GRRRR IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE RIGHT i've been drawing so much art of these characters and the second i saw the slightly different skin and saw the different ways of speaking in the descriptions I KNEW there were two different fellas in there! grrr i made diff designs for them too that are symbolic of their role in the story (i can't draw humanoids so chris is a church grim with wings (it was believed that the first buried in a graveyard would be trapped there to watch over it so often a dog would be the first buried there) (chris is a guardian angel and there has been lots of bird symbolism related to him) the first (that's what i'm calling him bc he doesnt have a name right now) is cerberus because cerberus is the guardian of the underworld and whatever's going on in this minecraft world is something that is at the very least akin to the greek/roman underworld (lethe protocol= lethe is one of the rivers of the underworld along with styx). andrew is just an ordinary anthro yellow lab but over time as he gets sucked further and further into the game black spots start appearing on him as he starts to transform into one of the black figures. also by the third act he walks on all fours (transforming into something less human, more wild, more feral, less controlled). also theres a very obvious overarching theme about not letting the past consume you but thats very straightforward so i wont go into that. sorry for being autistic btw.
• 02/06/2024 @soapykat749: you and me are best friends noww just letting you knoww

• 11/05/2024 @sleepyrose69: me personally i don’t forgive him, if a supernatural entity who taunted me with images of my dead friend and mementos of the time i stopped communicating with him and made me feel guilty about his mysterious demise i would be suuuuuper chill about it … smh
• 01/06/2024 @lunitoons1904: This episode was quite an emotional one. You can tell they both wanna reconnect in some way but something stands in the way of that.
• 02/06/2024 @namebrandpeanutbutter: hmm… something about the fact that the chest was a TRAPPED chest and the only reason why it didn’t put out a signal is because he broke it? Maybe this was just for the color of the chest or something alike… but i don’t know, something about that is strange
• 01/06/2024 @canofraidantandroachspray8415: i love how you can just hear it in andrew's voice... not just that, you can feel it almost radiating... you can just tell through how andrew words their experiences that he and chris were such good friends. you can tell through his voice that he and chris spent so much time together. that he holds out so much hope to see chris, even just as a player model in his game. i started this thought on the point right as andrew jumped in that well at the end... and got teary-eyed myself. no matter what happens next, andrew, i hope you see your happy ending. sincerely, never give up hope. you will see him again, i'm sure of it.
• 01/06/2024 @LandonBurke-l1n: This was a really nice video. I don’t think I ever seen a Christmas Special being part of a Horror Series or to the certain extent one that is Canon. It was a nice emotional video. The feeling of reconnecting with an old friend even through signs is very powerful and that performance of letting you know how very strong this friendship is between certain people and why some motivations are for the ones we care for the most. I know I say this a lot in comments but I cannot stop loving the unique approach to this series, idk it just feels so natural with a bit of supernatural fantasy etch into it like with the Wells and the travelling between worlds. I also cannot get over the usage of Music in this series aswell. That song at the end was perfect, It was a fitting setting for this video as a Christmas Special. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone.
• 02/06/2024 @disc9225: Every time I watch another upload I can’t help but recall a song off of Mitski’s latest album, especially now that the series is coated in winter. The song is called The Frost, it’s a song about being left alone ( and feeling so ) in a world meant to be full of people, the song hitting its hardest quite towards the end with this lyric: “You’re my best friend, Now I have no one to tell How I lost my best friend” That’s all I really wanted to bring up, the feelings shared within both of them resonate strongly with me, overall, I think I’m gonna be thinking about this series for a long time❄️
• 01/06/2024 @rampantmold: this series is fantastic, no other thing will ever beat this, this is great
• 02/06/2024 @smileyyface_: i genuinely cried when chris started saying stuff like i miss you and thank you for being my friend 😭😭😭 i love this series
• 01/06/2024 @Pablo_gang: Imagine this was a random thought out ARG, but someone threw a random clueless guy into it for effect.
• 01/06/2024 @cosmologicalx: GAH I MISSED THE PREMIER BUT THIS WAS PROBABLY THE SWEETEST CHAPTER CANT WAIT FOR MORE <333
• 02/06/2024 @gachabender2743: Lore aside. Honestly that end scene was crisp. The nice calming music and showing the well. With the sign saying not from me. Is probably insinuating not to go into that well but make the well from the pool of water. But the music made is seem like jumping in is the right move when it probably is not.
• 01/06/2024 @mothxine: Damn. This one hit different. Great job, Andrew. You’ll find him soon.
• 01/06/2024 @AnslordMC: This is such a nostolgic series, brings back so many memories... I am happy that Chris is still there...
• 01/06/2024 @GMTGFlo: absolute master piece, who'd thought simple block game could hit so hard. I had a tie to this game I'll admit, cause i grew up with the original xbox 360 version as well. everyone video shoots me right back to those days. It's beautiful.
• 02/06/2024 @hayleyethridge5793: I’m not crying you are. Andrew your videos are so amazing and they really strike me every time. Thank you for making this. You’re doing amazing.
• 01/06/2024 @Amalga_Heart: Okay, I dont know if this is whatsoever related, but the capitalization of "HE" in referring to that creepy smiling thing makes me think of the game "I'mscared". For those who have never played it, the concept of the game involved a trek through an ever changing game world, where each new area came with new weirdness. And the big theme throughout all of it was the idea of some sort of entity that had somehow attached itself to the game's code (but wasnt restricted to just that, and dealing with the game's puzzles often meant doing things outside of it), and kept messing with things as you progressed. There were two separate entities in that: "Whiteface", the creepy smiling head that is most often associated with the game, but also a second one, the weird floaty girl who was always referred to as "SHE", always in all-caps like that. No other name for SHE, just that, always. I dont want to spoil any of the game's wild surprises (seriously, if you havent played it, it is so very worth it) but SHE was the closest thing the game had to an actual antagonist. Not exactly friendly, and always cryptic and creepy (well, the whole game is). Yeah, probably not actually related to this, but that's just something I thought of when seeing those signs. Aside from that, I just adore this series. I watch a lot of analog and digital horror, and when it comes to the second one, this is one of my two favorite series right now (the other being Rapid Eyes, which is also great). I've been having a really rough time lately, but a new entry from a favorite series as good as this, always makes my day that much better. Also the use of sound/music in this series is excellent. I dont know what that escalating track was in the sewer section, but I really liked that part.
• 02/06/2024 @ceedox6012: This was somehow the first time is years I've watched something that has made me cry
• 01/06/2024 @TheDukeDusk: CHRIStmas(I had to) He's present!!(I really had to) Edit after I watched: Dude that was so good I'm actually crying this series is so perfect The music at the end is SO good it literally topped it off. It should fr be on spotify I'd listen to it on repeat. I'm glad Andrew got what he wanted: No more cryptic messages. Not from Chris😭😭
• 02/06/2024 @LilythathappenstobeinaValley: holy shit. thank you for making the first piece of film that has made me fucking cry I am so very glad to have found your channel and I deeply thank you for creating this I- yeah I don't have any more words... I wish you only the best on your journey with Chris
• 04/06/2024 @BrUh-tu5nt: Here's my attempt at transcribing the song at the end, I didn't understand some parts so I would like it if you guys could tell me if you hear anything else. Face the past/facts (?) Nowhere we're/you're at when it's hard to see hard to see Take me/it back and untack (?) when it's hard to breathe/be It's hard to be You and me Far from free and everything everything ??? above grass(?) No one, just give me time any at all/destigmatize (?) it all it's out of reach, yeah
• 09/06/2024 @pimplexi4271: Face the facts You're where you're at And its hard to see Hard to see? (I personally hear loath to see) Take it back Ignore Attack? When its hard to breathe Its hard to be You and me far from free And everything Everything Is out ? glass No one testing the time to figure out? Its out of reach Yeah
• 01/06/2024 @lampionmancz: Merry Christmas everyone and good luck Andrew I hope you can pull through and even tho it might not be the easy way, I am sure it is the correct one.
• 09/06/2024 @someobscuremusicchannel: I'm watching this through for the first time. This one actually got me emotional. This series is so well made, it's crazy.
• 01/06/2024 @bungus8564: I could not have thought of a better way to end of not only this year, but also the episode, as it finally sets into motion that Chris was the signs all along only and was never the figure following him. A very honestly unexpected turn, and that Andrew has finally set his eyes upon what lies ahead of him, and how his journey must end, with only the most vile and relentless confrontation bound to happen in the future. Great work and I really hope that you put as much hard work and effort into the next episode. Cheers! -Your new subscriber :)
• 01/06/2024 @EgirlPoke: Remember, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back
• 01/06/2024 @Dazrune: I Hope you find Chris, you got this Andrew
• 02/06/2024 @TrickyTheClown1715: This series is so good I took a second to question if this was an ARG or if this guy is actually being haunted by his old friend in Minecraft.
• 05/06/2024 @443MoneyTrees: It’s an arg, go on his community posts
• 05/06/2024 @JerpyTH: well it definitely is missing the g part but it's still pretty good
• 03/06/2024 @sansforxbox1695: the christmas mashup pack was my childhood, i was already emotional when i saw it, perfect setup for this emotional episode
• 01/06/2024 @oddtomato1049: It's nice to know that even manmade horrors beyond our comprehension celebrate chistmas. I hope you enjoy my far fetched theory as a contribution to our collective thought clutter. (I apologize with how scattered it is, I know what I am trying to say but I am not organized in conveying it.) Let's assume a hypothetical, a really farfetched hypothetical. A hypothetical in which this is not only real, but actually paranomal. Like SCP Foundation types of paranomal. In that most fringe case scenario I have a theory about these Stalker entities and what they could be. I know that noone would reasonably want to jump to such extreme conclusions as to tear down the very fundamentals of our reality, but for the sake of the argument it is only fair that we explore every possibility even those we deem impossible to keep an open mind and maybe find a sensible middle between polar opposites. The reason why this entity gets stronger the further you go is because it is occupying a space in your mind. The entity I am referring to is the Smiling Shadow, which I deem separate from the Faceless Shade. For the Faceless Shade has been your most consistent stalker, but the Smiling Shadow has been silently observing you until you've come far enough. I believe it is the Smiling Shadow which lays out the trails that guide you, and it is the Faceless Shade which tries to discourage you. And here is why: The entities exist as Shadows of your consciousness, your mind is casting a faint light around the world you walk. The clearer your picture of what it is that you are pursuing the more "real" it becomes, the shadow gets less and less blurry. You are giving it a form and identity which grounds it in it's reality, and Minecraft reality is rather simple to comprehend. Which would explain the amnesia, the cryptic signs, the scares and chases. The attempts to drive you off. The Faceless Shade seeks to starve the entity of being known by anymore victims, and thus giving up is the best way of defeating it. I believe that the signs of encouragement might be deceptions to embolden your search, and that the dropped Minecart was a sabotage to prevent the Faceless Shade from getting ahead. The reason why the Faceless Shade is completely blank is because it has no skin texture, it is merely a vessel of code to hold a consciousness to keep the Smiling Shadow grounded within the digital world. While they exist across your entire device and possibly divided across multiple systems they can only effectively manifest within the medium that can realize their form. And this could explain why things happening in the digital world affect your ability to speak when observing it of it. Because they are casting a shadow from within your mind, since you are giving them a space to stay in. It is a parasitic relationship that feeds on our collective attention. If that is the case, then I believe would draw connections to a very similar entity Minecraft's history: Herobrine. Herobrine is a similary elusive stalker to the Smiling Shadow. As Herobrine's legend spreads around the internet an identity which it could attach and anchor itself formed through it's actions. If that is the case then it would make sense why Mojang removed Herobrine for many versions to come, because they had to remove it. It occupied the code through minds of those that believed in it. As Herobrine grew more and more people would fake the entity, associate it with things it had never done, and thus overriding the belief about it until all was replaced by lies. Mojang no longer had to remove Herobrine, because the community stopped giving it legitimacy within their minds. Even if you gave up, the only way to defeat such an entity would to be stop taking seriously and stop giving it legitimacy. Or it has to be simultaneously drowned in and starved of attention. To deny everything, regardless of how true or false the assumptions are. To not give it that space and to make whatever attention you bring to it a mockery of it's existence. Only then will it lose it's power over you. It is manifest in your device, but it is nutured in your mind. And by bringing to Youtube you are giving it more minds it can occupy to form a clearer shadow. It will gain more power the further you go... Though I wouldn't consider my comment as dangerous, for it is probably filled with copious amounts of false assumptions. And all these theories would clutter your mind possibilities that would hopefully make it harder for such an entity if it were to exist and ground itself through your perception of it. 'Merry Christmas-
• 06/06/2024 @doodle-boy: God the music has really been on point these last few episodes. Really an unsung pillar to the story telling in this series.
• 08/06/2024 @cytherexs: this is such a beautiful episode. it manages to tackle important themes in a mature way and above all it’s simply heartwarming. some of the things Chris said to Andrew really hit home for me. i cry every time i watch this episode. what a masterclass of storytelling.
• 10/06/2024 @alolangamer19: I want you to know that when watching this video I cried for like 3 minutes when I got to the part with Chris’s signs. I have been depressed most of my life and recently entered a very bad period where everything is just so bad and have considered Cought Jumping into the well Cought but when i watched that part in the video it made me remember that I have people that care about me and people i care about. It’s a small part of my journey to reach happiness but I still want you to know that you have helped me! Love the rest of the series too. Definitely my favorite Minecraft ARG.
• 11/04/2024 @gattasara: You can do it. I believe il you, stranger on the internet
• 01/06/2024 @starryskyesal: all these videos were so darn good that i didn't even notice i spent more than 12 hours watching everything from the old minecraft world showcase part 1 up to this 😭and honestly this episode made me more teary than others cause dang this just was so sweet :') with andrew seemingly now being able to reconnect more with chris and chris happily wanting to do the same just gives me such a nice indescribable feeling oml 😭❤ anyways, happy late merry christmas and happy new year!! thanks for making such an amazing series andrew, stay safe out there :D
• 01/06/2024 @martymcschmoo: Dude, this series is amazing and I just want to congratulate you on making something this good
• 09/06/2024 @ShiningStarStell: Seeing the Christmas mashup pack brought back good memories, love this series bro
• 02/06/2024 @a-friend-of-the-world: this is probably the best show/series i have ever watched, I'm not as old as you or the others but i always played on the Wii u witch stopped updating Minecraft, and when i was smaller i always use to play the mash up and tutorial. this made me cry not only from nostalgia and fear but the story itself i hope you se this and thank you for doing this, i think i speak for the whole audience when i say this was a master pace - a fan
• 08/06/2024 @blobblob861: bro this arg is divine

• 01/06/2024 @rainyday1927: Damn the audio design and music choice is on point Great job, man! Merry early Christmas
• 01/06/2024 @liminalityy_: Where is the audio design? The only audio that isn't music in this video are game sounds
• 01/06/2024 @imMoRTal0722:  @liminalityy_  u forrgot the 2 min or so at the end
• 01/06/2024 @ponfi0275: ​ @imMoRTal0722 Is that not music?
• 01/06/2024 @imMoRTal0722:  @ponfi0275  oh ye damm ur right tru some of the audio is staged tho (like the cave noise when he was riding the cart)
• 01/06/2024 @liminalityy_:  @imMoRTal0722  thats music, also im pretty sure he forgot to cut it off at the end, i doubt holding the video for 2 minutes on a black screen was on purpose
• 01/06/2024 @imMoRTal0722:  @liminalityy_  maby i found i perfect tho. rly made you think about the story i loved it.
• 09/06/2024 @inactive-r5w: Blistering snow engulfed the barren tundra. The wind howled and the snowflakes stormed, but no forest was in site to acknowledge its presence. The sky's darkness only made things more desolate. Hidden within this brutal wasteland were small stringed lights and colors that hung on a tree. Beneath it were presents, and other decorations dressed in green and red. On the edge of the small area housed a well made of bricks and oak-wooden pillars. More buildings told their own stories, but despite having all these human imprints, the place ran quiet and empt- Andrew heaves, focusing on his breathing to make sense of everything. He was wet, freezing, and panicked, having encountered an entity beyond his comprehension and after jumping out of a well. He knew that it was only the beginning though, so he decided to just trudge forward and follow the lamps laid out for him. . . . It didn't take long for Andrew to see the decorated tree, along with a brick bridge to accommodate the frozen river below. But the more Andrew looks into each decor, torch, and brick, the faster he realizes who once inhabited the area. It was his and his friend's. Andrew cracks a smile, a small but nice one. He of all people knows that type of smile; the smile of nostalgia, of longing for simpler times. But it was also that of a deep sadness, for what (and who) he lost along the way. Andrew notices a sign a few meters in front of him, crossing the bridge and examining it closer. "Andrew, you are in danger." The sign stated clear as day.
• 09/06/2024 @inactive-r5w: i made this like months ago idk why i did
