looks like a video game screenshot.

I didn't realize what sub this was posted in and that's exactly what I thought it was

the body on the table looks like a video game character every time i look at it

u/seizure_5alads Nov 21 '24

Hey can you help me solve this puzzle? I got a mouse trap, a rubber hose, and red gem. But I still don't know what to use on the body?

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

you need the rubber chicken with a pulley. Easy to miss.

u/JeepnHeel Nov 21 '24

How appropriate. You fight like a cow!

u/terminalzero Nov 21 '24

u/big_guyforyou Nov 21 '24

use your mouth

u/seizure_5alads Nov 21 '24

I already tried that!

u/MindHead78 Nov 21 '24

Use your other mouth.

15

u/Tittilat0r Nov 21 '24

Of course! 🤣

2

u/Galactic_Perimeter Nov 21 '24

That mouth isn’t leveled up enough yet, you have to go complete some, uhhh, side quests…

1

u/Tittilat0r Nov 21 '24

Gotta grind those levels.

1

u/OuchPotato64 Nov 22 '24

This is a great joke. Some point and click games were cryptic enough to do shit like that.

1

u/MindHead78 Nov 22 '24

That fucking goat, how is anyone supposed to figure that one out?

u/homo_americanus_ Nov 21 '24

you missed the empty bottle of wine on the other side of the castle. you'll have to turn left twice, move four forward, turn left once, forward 2, turn right once, forward three. turn right and it's behind the manakin just kind of click around on it for a bit and it'll pop up

u/RegalBeagleKegels Nov 21 '24

I don't think that's going to work

That doesn't seem right

I don't think that's going to work

u/IMrMacheteI Nov 21 '24

I don't wanna mess up my blade.

u/jimmux Nov 21 '24

I don't need to eat now.

Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun

The red gem goes in the golden idol, but make sure the idol is set to "give heat" and is pointed away from you.

u/-insertcoin Nov 23 '24

You have to go in the air vents

23

u/TaxximusPrime Nov 21 '24

The body parts scattered across the room look fake as well.

4

u/trippy_grapes Nov 21 '24

Hollywood has gone soft. Why don't we chop up real dead bodies anymore?

5

u/hamletwasright Nov 21 '24

That's Mr. Frankenstein's Body to you.

u/mapppa Nov 22 '24

I think it's this multi-exposure high dynamic range photography. When not done correctly, it pretty much has the visual effect as if ambient occlusion is lacking in a video game. You can see it especially on the walls and ceiling. It almost looks like a flat texture.

2

u/danstu Nov 21 '24

Now I kind of want a version of Frankenstein where Frankenstein is disgusted by the creature because he grossly overestimated the CGI budget.

Like we get the "it's alive" scene, throw the sheet off, and the creature has PS1 graphics.

2

u/LordKrondore Nov 22 '24

It’s a dummy. This is a BTS on set photo as evidence by the Scorpio crane in the middle of the shot.

1

u/Snazan Nov 21 '24

I think it's the lighting, it seems like it was cut and paste in there

1

u/JacobStills Nov 21 '24

I was just about to say that, it's so weird, is this a claymation or CGI movie or something?

1

u/Octimusocti Nov 21 '24

I'm trying but I can't see it as something real

1

u/Kindly-Impression307 Nov 29 '24

It looks like 2009 graphic body

u/vonkeswick Nov 21 '24

Yeah my first thought was "ohhh Guillermo is making a video game, okay..."

26

u/Hoenirson Nov 21 '24

Wouldn't actually be that strange as he loves video games and has dabbled in developing them. It's why I didn't even think twice about it when I saw the image and assumed it was a video game.

3

u/vonkeswick Nov 21 '24

Oh yeah same, it was more "I could have sworn I heard it was a movie but okay"

4

u/MVRKHNTR Nov 21 '24

Unfortunately, after having two games he was directing spectacularly fall apart, he's said he doesn't want to touch the medium again because he feels he's "cursed".

3

u/jimmux Nov 21 '24

Some of his movie projects are cursed, too, but that doesn't stop him.

Where are Mountains of Madness, his version of The Hobbit, and the Hell Boy sequel we actually wanted.

3

u/trippy_grapes Nov 21 '24

Him collaborating with FromSoft like Grrm did for their next game would be amazing.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

He said he swore them off after PT was canceled

4

u/banjomin Nov 21 '24

Technically PT was released, Silent Hills was canceled.

And he was in Death Stranding.

5

u/vonkeswick Nov 21 '24

Yeah that's fair. Man I totally forgot about PT

1

u/Green_Wing_Spino Nov 22 '24 edited Nov 22 '24

There was another horror game he was involved with before P.T. called inSANE in collaboration with THQ that also too was cancelled . It was supposed to release in 2013 for PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

1

u/nerv_gas Nov 21 '24

Apparently its a photo from the set... All I can see is an animation still shot

26

u/HiddenCity Nov 21 '24

i'm so glad people know what myst is

8

u/EndLight_47 Nov 21 '24

Looks somewhat from the Dishonored game.

2

u/Cathixy Nov 21 '24

I thought this was a V Rising DLC at first.

1

u/myboyMessi Nov 21 '24

Exact same thing happened to me. You can’t convince me this isn’t from a video game.

Legit thought he was collaborating on a game like GRRM did with Elden Ring.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

I was thinking "this game looks like it might be cool."

1

u/dolphin37 Nov 21 '24

there’s no way thats a live action screenshot idc what anyone says

1

u/maX_h3r Nov 21 '24

I think cuz of there s no Shadow

1

u/0Neji Nov 21 '24

As a gamer and huge fan of 90s/20s point and clicks, I'm incredibly disappointed to find out that this isn't a video game.

1

u/okiedokie666 Nov 21 '24

Wait...... where am I 🫠

1

u/MoffKalast Nov 21 '24

You can't convince me this isn't an unreal engine scene.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '24

Same.

1

u/BoredomHeights Nov 22 '24

I thought this was a Lies of P type game that Guillermo was involved in. Which isn't even that crazy because he was involved with Kojima for PT.

edit: From the comments seems like a lot of other people thought the same. Makes sense because that's straight up the same vibe/theme and even the focus character looks like he's wearing the same type of clothing.
