And, on top of that, the gameplay was limited: the premise of the game being that you were stuck in a cell somewhere high up, unable to escape, with the world around you slowly succumbing to a virus… (and yes, there are spooky parallels with today). Markiplier’s video was a one-hour playthrough of Presentable Liberty.Īt first, Markiplier was mocking. The clickbait video was for a game called Presentable Liberty, by an indie game developer known only as Wertpol. I clicked on it begrudgingly, expecting nothing remotely life-changing and a little annoyed at being caralled into investigating this, but unable to repress my human curiosity.īut, unbelievably, the title proved true, both for me and Markiplier himself. He put out a video that had a clickbait title: THIS GAME WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Anyway, you all know I’m an aficionado of games, so I don’t need to justify myself!Īt the time, I was subscribed to Markiplier, who is still one of the world’s biggest YouTubers and gamers. Of course, nowadays, many games are more like extended movies anyway, so there’s a lot story-wise to learn from and absorb. There is something fascinating about watching someone who is an expert take you through a game, especially if it’s a game you cannot get access to or have no intention of playing yourself.

However, back in those days, I was really into gamers and “let’s play” videos. I still am, in some ways, but my taste in channels has shifted, and I no longer binge like I used to. Around 2014, I was an avid consumer of YouTube videos.
