This is the last bonus video for Pegasus Prime. Even though this isn't spoiling anything in Pegasus Prime, it involves commentary from a character who won't be joining the cast until Buried In Time. This was included as an easter egg, it can accompany the AI's commentary or take over from the AI completely. It was glitchy as hell though as the game crashed constantly, every time I reloaded the game it reset the AI chip to have both commentaries on at the same time. There are a couple of clips where I forgot to switch off the default AI after a reload but it shouldn't detract from anything.

Link: "Alternate AI commentary."

Your link is broken, delete the "video/" part. Also, I'm pretty sure all his commentary is just copied from the other 2 games; I recognize a lot of the lines.

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.

I've fixed it now, thank you for pointing it out to me. I did wonder why some of the lines were repeated throughout the playthrough, also in some areas the lines were randomised. I'm tempted to just delete the video, but at the same time, it doesn't hurt to have a video of random Arthur commentary up.

Let's Play: The Journeyman Project 2: Buried In Time



The first episode of Buried In Time. I'll be posting the second part to this over the weekend along with a companion video, which I will be recording soon. There's a lot of optional information to take in and most of it is reading material. I'll also make a post comprised only with thumbnailed screenshots of the relevant data, I'll try to label things correctly so you can pick and choose what you want to read about.

How is the volume level? There's no way to change the volume in-game, I had to reduce the game volume down to 20% from the taskbar and I feel like it could go down a couple of more notches.

The volume seemed a bit on the low end for me.
You should probably just make a screenshot post of all the reading material, no need to waste video bits on what's essentially text content.

Gage saves all of time yet he still can't afford a haircut.

Also I unironically enjoy the soundtracks for both games so far.

EDIT: I'm hoping this turns into an Ace Attorney sort of thing where Gage defends himself in court using time travel fuckery. I'll probably be disappointed. :v:

Here is part two of the apartment exploration. I will work on adjusting the volume levels for the next recording session later.

I think that nielsm was correct in saying about keeping it to screenshots for the news articles. After thinking about it, it did seem a bit silly making a video for a bunch of screenshots that I'll be uploading anyway. I think that I have all the screenshots, there's 134 of them so I better drat well do! After spending my morning taking screenshots and labelling them all into categories, titles and page numbers, imgur decided to randomise them after they uploaded which was very helpful! I think that I have them back in order, I will do a separate post on here with them all grouped and labelled properly later. It's going to take some time to put it together.

But yes a secretive person who purchased artworks at any price, from what just so happens to be the sites of our investigations? It may be related, perhaps even part of the plot.

I completely forgot about this, I thought the same thing at the time. Perhaps it's the Gage Blackwood from 2338 trying to mess with our head?

Two more episodes have been recorded. I'll probably work on some more tomorrow.

These days I'd probably marvel at this level of detail but combine it with the movement of these adventure games and I guess that's why you need 2 videos to show the very first room. And maybe its just me but compared to this first game this UI is kinda inelegant.

Is it altering history if you're altering history to stop history from being altered so you don't have to go back and alter history?

Buried in Time basically front loads almost all the world building in Future Gage's house, so if you really fancy yourself a detective, you could probably take a solid stab at solving the time crime right here. Of course, solving the crime isn't really the primary charm of this game.

In this episode, Gage visits Farnstein Station and meets a new friend. The next episode should be up in a few days. My last recording session kind of went to poo poo and I've decided to scrap it, I'll have some free time in a couple of days to record some more.

In this episode, we return to complete our objective at Farnstein Station and then we take a trip to Chichén Itzá. The video ends a little abruptly, this is due to my brain having a little meltdown while trying to perform some mental gymnastics. I'll explain it some more in the next update. I recorded the next episode last night, it went a lot smoother but there was a moment of panic while exploring an area which I missed out in the last recording session.

The Chichen Itza stuff is very educational.

In general it's pretty impressive how much dialogue there is for Arthur.

I've been pretty impressed so far and have enjoyed learning little tidbits from him. I've felt bad as I've cut him off two or three times during recording so far by being a little premature. I've also missed a couple of dialogue options down to blind panic. The next episode is in a new location and his dialogue really ramps up, I'll be uploading it tomorrow.

The second part of Chichén Itzá and the first part of Château Gaillard. We at least have a few clues of what we need to do when we return to Chichén Itzá, I didn't want to leave without fully exploring it first. Arthur has a lot to say during this episode, we don't walk very far but we certainly hear a lot from our friend.

This is the second and final part of Château Gaillard, it's also the first part of the Da Vinci Studios. For those wondering, they really did manage to get a cow up there...

I imagine that the secret compartment that has the outline of the key in the armoire is meant to be the place where the key would normally be kept hidden, in addition to being another hint that you will need a key somewhere.

I like that this Journeyman game is a bit milder on the jumping back and forth, like so far it feels like most of the time zones just require visiting one other first, heck, Chateau Guillard we didn't even need to jump back out of after visiting.

Feels a bit more user friendly.

JMP2 is slightly more friendly with the exploration than JMP1, but it still suffers from traversing into areas with a point of no return. There's no way to climb out of the window in the Château Gaillard keep after you find the clue about the key, granted though that it requires an item from another timeline to create it. There's a similar situation in the Da Vinci Studios, it's entirely feasible to reach the final area, after going through a point of no return, without picking up a required item to unlock it from the starting area.

I want to comment on JMP3 but my memories are very hazy. If I remember correctly you are able to access almost all of the main areas even though some take extra effort to get too.
