"For some reason, this is basically the most popular video on my channel," Flamingo says less than half a minute into "IT LURKS.", pulling up his own upload list. He means "Roblox... it lurks...", posted in April 2020 and still one of his most watched videos. Albert has now gone back for a second playthrough.
He opens the way a horror revisit should: in the dark, his face lit by a phone flashlight, screaming the title. Then comes the reality check: "Now I am a full-grown adult." A minute later, the game's father announces he is going out for milk, and the old joke is back as if no time had passed.
The game, credited on screen to @terribleblox, starts in a child's bedroom and soon sends him to a basement mannequin. Albert gives it an edited-on face and muscles, then heads into long wooden hallways and a chase that ends in a nightmare wake-up. An emergency broadcast orders him to secure the house. Later, a tall creature drives him through a maze and, once, into a pit he did not expect the game to allow. By the third chapter, a voice on an observatory radio wants to play a game.
The video drew about 840,000 views since yesterday, and comments arrived more than twice as fast as on his usual first day. Many read like a game of spot-the-difference with 2020: the milk line, his nerves in the hallways, a reaction to footprints that viewers say he also had six years ago. Several admit they first took it for the old video. One says they are about to graduate from high school after watching him since elementary school.
This is his second return to his April 2020 catalog in ten days. "ROBLOX TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND is mean…" went up on October 18, following a Total Drama video he posted six days after the original It Lurks.
