Video summary

Press to jump

0:23SMii7Y introduces Fat Chance and praises indie developers over the big studios.
1:53The four players start chained to the walls of a tiled chamber, trying to reach escape keys.
3:51A spike ceiling descends on SMii7Y while his teammates work on a symbol puzzle; the outcome comes at 05:08.
7:42A Telepathy Potion lets SMii7Y hear his teammates' thoughts, then Dan takes a pill labeled "sugar."
10:06A tall, pale monster appears in a dark corridor.
13:40SMii7Y drinks a transformation potion and turns into a rat.

SMii7Y spends part of his latest upload as a rat, scurrying along narrow beams above teammates who have no idea he is there. It is one of the calmer moments in "Fat Chance We Survive This Game...", which drew about 920,000 views on SMii7Yplus in its first eight hours.

The video is edited from his Twitch livestream of the indie horror game's demo. He opens with a short tribute to small developers, who he feels are doing the inventive work that big studios are not. The Steam page he shows lists the studio Mewliks and a release date of October 29.

Then the game starts, and the four players find themselves chained to the walls of a tiled chamber, laughing at their round characters while reaching for keys. "I like how we're laughing, but we're in a very bad situation right now," SMii7Y says, accurately.

The situation gets worse in inventive ways. A ceiling of spikes lowers over SMii7Y while Scratty, daukey and Dan try to solve the symbol puzzle that could free him. A telepathy potion lets him hear his friends' sillier thoughts. Dan swallows a white pill labeled "sugar" and promptly announces that it has blinded him. A tall, pale creature waits in the dark corridors.

In the comments, viewers compare the clay-like look to the co-op game R.E.P.O., say they are happy to see Scratty more often, and point out that "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean exactly the same thing. Others noticed that SMii7Y's animated stand-in has gone from a milk carton to a milk bag.
