Hey guys, first-time poster here. I have been looking for a place to share this for years, but I just didn't quite know where to post it until I found this sub.

Long story short, I remember when I was younger finding a crazy glitch by complete accident while playing. Once you unlock the Hydra Tank, you can connect two controllers and have one player sit in the gunner seat. Then, you get the other player to destroy the tank, which sends the player in the gunner seat under the map for some reason.

Now, usually, you would just fall into a void until the game corrects itself and teleports you back onto the map. But if you glitch through the map as a character that can fly, you can catch yourself mid-air and fly around under the map. The invisible walls don't exist down there, so you can fly underneath and come out in the low-poly, muddy-textured city across the water that you usually can't access.

That’s not all, though. If you keep going, the city eventually disappears and you enter this kind of flat-land area. The weird thing is, if you fly through it for about 30 minutes to an hour just going straight forward, you'll reach an area where the flat lands turn kind of hilly—but not jagged or mountainous. The best way I can describe it is looking like you're flying over sand dunes in a desert. If you keep going through that for a solid two hours, you'll eventually reach this area where the sand dunes spiral into what looks like a whirlpool of sand that descends further than you can see.

I tried to fly into it because it was so visually different from the constant, repeating hills and flat lands—just one big hole. It ended up just teleporting me back to the map, though. I never attempted to go anywhere near that far again because, as a kid, three hours feels like three days, and it was honestly kind of unnerving for me. But the land still extended far past the hole; I could see that much. Who knows what else is out there in that void of strange textures, shapes, and silence?

Maybe it sounds stupid, but I'm nearing my mid-twenties now, and to this day no moment in a video game has made me feel so intrigued yet uneasy. There was no music, nothing to interact with—just the ambient sound of your character flying for hours on end in silence. It felt like I was seeing something I shouldn't see, and I suppose that's because I really wasn't supposed to. Looking back, it genuinely felt like something out of a creepypasta or a horror movie, like the build-up before a jump scare or something else bad happens.

Has anyone else ever come across this glitch when playing, and if so, how far did you go? I recently purchased the game again on Xbox with the sole intent of exploring this void more. If I find anything else strange, I'll be sure to make a follow-up post because I've never heard of anyone else going this far out in the game. Most people just seem to stop at the low-poly city, and I can't even find any pictures of anything beyond that. The closest I got was Google AI confirming that this is, in fact, all in the game and explaining how and why it happens like how the first level of the game involves fighting sand man and so the default terrain texture generated is sand but well, you know how AI can be.

It’s been about 3 months since this gane dropped and I kinda wanna see where everyone lies??

For me?? It gave me just about exactly what I expected…it gave off the same creepy vibes that LN did but WORSE. It looks amazing, sounded amazing, and had a really great story! I would have liked it if it was a little longer but it as a whole? Damn good time

But how about you?? Did REANIMAL live up to hype for you??

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to track down the source of a video from before 2009, but I’m not 100% sure it’s from a game... it could also be an independent CGI short film or something similar.

• Likely pre-2009 (possibly early 2000s)
• About 4 minutes long
• First-person / POV camera moving through a dark forest at night
• Full moon, blue-ish lighting, lots of fog
• Bare trees, vines, and leaves drifting in front of the camera
• The camera moves slowly forward like walking through the woods
• The vines/branches start to move and form the shape of a horse (side view)

Here's the actual video:

It doesn't look like anyone's shared this here yet, so I wanted to show a hidden level in the original gex that creeped me out as a kid.

In the game's Hidden UFO world, one of the levels is called "The Project". The level itself is quite odd - no enemies, power ups, checkpoints - just a big maze with golden flies to collect in it.

But i you get to a certain area you can find a room with a realistic looking human walking around, and when you hit him, he throws up. If you hit him enough times, his head splits open and bleeds everywhere when he dies. I found this pretty disturbing in a game that's otherwise so cartoony.
