Playing as an ALTERNATE Family!

Video summary

Press to jump

0:46Aphmau spots her baby being taken into a fortified human town.
1:10The family transforms into flying bugs to cross the wall.
2:30Human disguises and a house purchase provide cover, until Pierce complicates the plan.
9:45Aphmau hatches an insectoid babysitter to watch Aaron Jr.
14:35Acid spit helps Aphmau free Aaron before they enter the sewers.
18:10The search reaches an attic bedroom, where Katelyn has a revelation.

"We just want to buy your house!" is a perfectly ordinary introduction, unless the buyers are shape-shifting monsters on a rescue mission. In Aphmau's "Playing as an ALTERNATE Family!", moving into the neighborhood is cover for finding the family's kidnapped baby.

The scripted Minecraft adventure sends Aphmau and Aaron over a fortified wall in flying bug forms, then into human disguises. Keeping up appearances gets complicated when Pierce needs disguising too, and neighbor Zane turns out to trap Alternates. Even arranging a babysitter involves hatching a cocoon.

At roughly 745,000 views, it is the most-watched of Aphmau's six uploads this week. The comments have their own reunion agenda: viewers repeatedly point to Katelyn's return, remember the earlier Alternate stories and ask for another installment. Lizzy Hofe voices Katelyn, while Jason Bravura plays Aaron and Kestin Howard plays Zane.

Aaron also supplies the week's strongest ongoing momentum. "NO ONE can HIDE From AARON!" currently draws the most daily views among the channel's videos, followed by "RUN AARON, RUN!" The performance-and-punishment premise of "How to be a VOICE ACTOR in Minecraft!" adds a different kind of jeopardy, with Howard credited as Dante.

Across the channel, the week brought about 47 million views, while subscribers stayed level. Daily viewing is a little below its usual pace. Among nearby Minecraft channels, Maizen is having an above-usual viewing day, while PrestonPlayz is quieter than normal. Aphmau's own busiest viewing remains concentrated on those new Aaron adventures.
