Hello and welcome.
0:08
Hey doers, welcome back to Dopey Does and welcome to Something Sunday. And in
0:15
today's video, this is a demo to an upcoming game called The Wellmons Case.
0:23
It's a firstp person psychological horror game set in 1993 in northern Maine. I play a private
0:31
detective who explore an abandoned Wellmon farm where I have to search for
0:36
clues, photographs, unsettling evidence, and uncover the truth behind a family's
0:41
unexplained disappearance. And as you can see in the top left
0:48
window, there is something strange a foot. Something is not quite right, as
0:55
you can tell. And I'm sure I will uncover a lot more than just the family's unexplained disappearance.
1:04
Please let me know what you think about this demo in the comments below. And yeah, hope you enjoy the game. Let's
1:13
do this.
1:22
[Music] The Wilmont family, Henry, Abigail, and
1:30
their 10-year-old son, Ethan, vanished without a trace from their farm.
1:35
After months of in of investigation, the case was officially closed as unsolved
1:40
by the police. More than 10 years, Henry's brother
1:46
refuses to accept the silence.
1:51
He has hired private detective Frank Hollis to uncover the truth.
1:56
And here I am. People get lost for different reasons, but it rarely happens that an entire
2:02
family disappears without a trace. Reading the files, I had a feeling that
2:08
this case would be different. H okay.
2:14
Oh, and now I'm in control of the car. Cool.
2:20
Nice. Okay. Hopefully I'll make it there in one
2:26
piece so I can investigate.
2:32
Try and keep it steady. Nice and steady. You know what I mean? Actually, the
2:37
driving's not too bad. Oh, I say that as I go around the corner. Oh god.
2:45
Yeah, spoke too soon.
2:51
Well, it it was fine until it got bumpy and then I got all over the place. Aha,
2:56
here we go. [Music] The Wellmont family farm.
3:06
They left, or so they say.
3:12
Well, that's what I'm here to do, I suppose. Isn't it? Investigate.
3:19
[Music]
3:26
Boom. Okay. And here we are in control.
3:33
Woo. All right. H. Do I have anything to take with me
3:40
from the trunk? Huh? Can I do the smart thing and leave? No, I can't do that. All right. Okay.
3:47
Let's go through here. It's really dark out here. Let's see if I can get the lights on.
3:54
Yeah. Well, I've got the headlights on the car,
4:00
but obviously I'll need more than that. So, here we go. Let's see if this
4:08
is in working order. What's that? Here we go. We have power. Let there be
4:15
light. Oh yeah, baby. Nice. That's a good start.
4:23
Okay, so we will quite a big uh place this farm.
4:30
Okay, so where am I going to look first?
4:37
What is this? Like the staples? Yeah, looks like it. Oh, I thought that was two people
4:45
standing up there for a second. Although, hang on. I thought this was uh meant to be empty, but it's not. It's a
4:52
uh Yeah, it's a tractor type thing.
4:59
H Can I go in any of these stores here?
5:04
What's the one? Okay, R2. All right. Oh, yes, I am playing this on the PlayStation.
5:12
This is the the demo.
5:19
All right, let's get through this quite quickly. Oh, I can open these. Nice. Okay, can
5:26
open this one. Yeah. Awesome.
5:31
I can't seem to pick up anything that I need. Not from the top ones. What about the bottom ones?
5:38
Can I crouch? Ah, okay. Squares crouch.
5:48
Can't seem to pick anything up. What about this spade? I have to dig up some
5:53
dead bodies. I mean, maybe. I am investigating the place. You never know.
6:01
Uh, what's that? Nothing. of interest.
6:10
I guess whoever was here didn't finish the paint job.
6:16
There's still plenty of paint cans lying about. [Music]
6:22
Nothing of interest in here. No. Okay.
6:33
How about outside? Anything of anything of interest?
6:38
Don't think so. There's no prompt or task that I have to
6:44
do. At least not yet. So, oh, there's a ladder here. That's
6:51
what I was looking for. Can I climb the ladder? No.
6:56
No. Guess I'm not going up then. Good. That's one less thing to worry about.
7:03
Ah, can I go in the what is this? Greenhouse. Can I go in here?
7:11
No. Well, at least not yet. I mean, this is the demo. Maybe I can in the four game or at least
7:19
um maybe have to do certain things first.
7:24
All right, let's uh let's investigate the house then, shall we?
7:31
Or was there anything else over here? I need to look at first.
7:36
No, that doubt won't be able to go up there. So, let's go in the house then, shall we? This looks to be padlocked.
7:44
I need to find something to get this open.
7:49
Oh, I do have to I do have objectives. Okay, wait.
7:55
Go in the barn. Look for something to pry open. The barn could have what you need. Ah.
8:02
Okay, so I got to go get back in the barn. Maybe that shovel I that I uh saw.
8:10
Hello, Skeo. You don't scare me. Wait, can I pick up
8:16
that shovel? No. Okay. Okay, let's get back in here then.
8:23
What can we find in here? I looked everywhere though, surely.
8:30
Oh, just Ah, here we go. I I tried this a minute ago. Lockpick. Ah,
8:38
okay. I swear I looked in there before and I did not highlight anything.
8:46
Okay, so let's uh let's investigate then, shall we? Let's
8:53
pick this lock. I've got no stamina meter, so that's good.
9:00
Okay, let's uh investigate the house. I did see in the in the um title screen
9:06
that there was someone standing in that top left window. So, that doesn't bode well.
9:13
Um yeah. All right. I suppose let's go in.
9:21
And just like that, I pick the lock. No miniame type of thing. No, just open the
9:27
door and I'm in. All right, cool. Can I shut this this door back up? No. But
9:35
mind you, that's a good thing because I might need to run. I might need to run.
9:42
Oh dear. Well, this looks a bit dreary, doesn't it?
9:48
I can close this. That's good. That is good. That is good. Okay.
9:56
No one peeking outside. No. Good. Can I use the facilities?
10:02
No. Can't do that. Uh oh. Oh, I say
10:09
that's a bit grubby, isn't it? H. Well, nothing like a lick of paint won't
10:15
do. I mean, we've got plenty in the barn. Uh, I'm a vampire. Can't see me my
10:21
reflection. Uhhuh. Okay. Nothing in here of note
10:26
anyway. Uh, okay. What's that? Oh,
10:33
yeah. Still can't see my reflection. All right, then. Uh, oh, looks like I won't be going upstairs anytime soon. Maybe in
10:40
the full game, maybe. Uh, so what is my objective? Search the house for personal photos.
10:47
Document anything that might reveal more about the people who once lived here.
10:53
All right. Yes. So, I am a private detective. Uh, anything on this clothing? No.
11:03
Well, before I go into doors, let's just uh look around this.
11:10
Sorry, that's my cat if you heard that. Oh, can I go in this drawer? I can,
11:17
but I can't pick up anything. For a second, I thought it was a Ouija
11:23
board. uh thing, but it's not. Thank God for that. All right. Oh, I
11:30
thought there was more drawers to it, but there wasn't. Nothing. No one looking outside.
11:37
Good, good, good. Um. Oh, photos. Yes. Aha.
11:45
So, I take a pictures of pictures. All right. Cool.
11:50
Oh, wait. Was
11:56
that already open? I didn't notice it was open. Oh, god.
12:06
Maybe it was and I missed it, but Oh, okay. Oh, I just had a bit of a shiver
12:12
down my spine there. Don't know why. Can I pick this up? No. Okay. Anything in
12:19
here? Uh oh. What was that? That just
12:25
disappeared. It's a magic trick. Can't see that. Wait. What? Can I not
12:32
look at that drawing? That might be of importance. No, I guess not. All right.
12:39
Nothing in here. How about up here? Oh, well
12:46
this bookcase unit thing has uh seen a bit better days.
12:53
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing in here on the floor.
12:58
The wild theory. H.
13:04
What is the theory of this place? I guess I've not had I've not got one anymore. Not got one yet. Oh, I missed
13:11
that picture. Is that of note? What is that?
13:17
Don't know. Oh, I see a picture here. Here we go.
13:23
Oh. Oh, that's Oh, that's creepy.
13:30
Can I zoom in? No.
13:36
Okay. Um, nothing in there. Nothing on there.
13:42
And I'm going to take a stab. Nothing in here. No. That is creepy.
13:53
Okay. Okay. Nothing of note.
14:01
No. How about this drawer here? Uh, again, maybe I could I can pick
14:07
these up in the main game, but like I said, this is the demo.
14:13
Okay, now I'm I'm expecting to see somebody standing outside. I don't know
14:19
why. Just got that vibe. Just got that feeling. Uh,
14:28
I mean, first impressions so far, it's uh pretty cool. Pretty good. Um
14:36
yeah. Uh bit of a slow burner.
14:42
Is that Oh, that was a key, but it's not. Uh nothing down there.
14:47
No, but this mirror. Oh, there's nothing in the reflection.
14:55
Spooky, is there? Kind of kind of looks like there will be. Oh, that looks Yeah.
15:03
Huh. Have to keep an eye on that. Continue on.
15:10
Wait. I mean, it might be the rain. Or it
15:16
might be because it's an old uh abandoned place. But lots of creaking
15:23
going on. Maybe there's someone upstairs or I don't know. Sounds like it.
15:30
I'm expecting something. I'm expecting something
15:36
to happen in this demo. At least at least one thing. Can I open this door? No, that's not
15:43
okay. Anything worth eating in the fridge? I don't know how long um this

15:54
note. Aha. Oh, wrong button. There's a note. Handwritten paper. Ethan, I know

Nice. Sounds delicious. Plenty of tomatoes.
17:19
Plenty of Yeah. Is someone uh

17:31
Let's check in this dining room bit. Oh,

28:39
Okay. Nothing in here as of yet.
28:44
I say flashlight makes it difficult to see the prompt. Oh, what's this? A small
28:51
plant with cloverl like leaves often grown as a decorative house plant known
28:56
for its delicate and symmetrical foliage. All right. Okay. Can I rotate it? Oh,
29:07
hello. is part of the
29:15
passcode. All right. So, that is a two.
29:21
Okay. So, are these all under plants? All right. Didn't even know you could
29:27
look at these. Um, okay. There's another one. That's a five.
29:33
Didn't see this ones on top here. I'm too busy crouched down. Aha. That one is an eight.
29:41
Let's write that down. I'm going to assume they're all at the bottom. Aha.
29:47
Bingo was his nameo. And that is a four.
29:54
Cool. Right. Let's go. Let's do this.
29:59
Let's get this done and open. So, I am looking at 5842.
30:11
5 8
30:19
4 two and it's open. Uhoh. What's inside?
30:26
A key. A key for what? A locked secret. The key you found feels
30:34
important. return to the house and see what it might reveal. Oh god.
30:41
Do I have to? I mean, so let's finish what we came here to do.
30:47
Even though I won't because this is just a demo, but still. Is this open now?
30:53
Oh, that's definitely definitely chain shut. All right, down the stairs we go.
31:01
Back the way we came, I suppose. Okay. What the?
31:09
Holy moly. What the?
31:14
All right, then. It's just a faulty lamp. Faulty light, I
31:19
should say. Okay. Well, let's have a flashlight now for this house. So, that's good. That's one
31:26
good thing. This one here, the basement.
31:32
Yep. Yeah, of course. Of course it's the damn basement.
31:38
Cuz of course it would be.
31:45
Okay, down we go.
31:50
Well, I don't think we'll die because this is just a demo
31:56
and basically it's just the start of the game. So, we're not going to die.
32:03
Unless we play as other characters.
32:09
H. Okay. Now I'm not so confident now. Now I'm
32:15
not so confident in things. All right. Okay. Um, so I suppose we start on this door.
32:24
It's locked. Okay. That Thank God for that. All right. Is
32:30
this open? No, it's not. All right. So, the only room in the house we can go is
32:36
here. All right. First things first, let's look at some pictures.
32:42
If we can find any pictures, photos to take a picture of. No, nothing
32:50
in here. God,
32:55
something's going to happen. I can feel it. I can feel it in my bones.
33:01
Oh, the player. Okay, before I do that, let's just see if I
33:07
need to take any pictures of some things of anything of a chair.
33:13
No. Okay. Nobody over there. No. Good. All right. I think this must be the last
33:19
thing to do then. Let's open this up. Oh, okay. That wasn't there a minute ago. Hear it.
33:27
Oh god. Here we go. Let's plug this bad boy in. Wait, what?
33:34
Plug it in.
33:40
Can I not plug it in? Is that telling me to find a a cable?
33:46
Should it not? Oh, find the cable. Okay. The gramophone
33:54
won't work without the power cable. Search the basement for one. Oh, so it's in here then. Okay. Looked in there.
34:02
A key. A key. Did I not look in there? So, it's not that one. It's going to be
34:10
this one. Yep. Definitely that one. Okay.
34:16
God. Creepy as. Creepy as. Right. Cable. I
34:24
did see I did see a cable. Is that a cable? Come on. Come on. No, it's
34:29
broken. Okay, there's a cable, but not the right one. Ah, is that is that what
34:36
I need? No,
34:41
apparently not. Oh, come on. Ah. Oh, wait. There's the cable. All
34:49

34:54

35:03
Oh boy. Whoa. Father, help me, father. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh no. No. No.
35:11
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Stop it. Stop it.
35:17
Oh great. No. No. No. There. What? No money. Nobody's there.
35:24
Ah. What the What's going on?
35:31
New objective. The house went dark after the gramophone played to find out what's going on. I'm good. Thanks. I'm I'm
35:39
good. Just chilling here. I'm good. I'm fine. Thank you.
35:47
Great. Great. Great. Great. Um.
35:54
Oh, great. Whispers. Oh, at least I don't have to go in there.
36:01
Oh. Oh, that's not good.
36:07
That is not very nice at all. You can see the shadow, right? Tell me
36:13
you can see the shadow. Mhm. God, it's not behind me, is it? No.
36:21
Oh god. Oh no. No. No. Don't do anything. Don't do anything. Don't do anything.
36:27
What the hell? What the hell indeed? Yeah. Oh god. It's your fault, Teddy.
36:40
All right. Does that mean I can leave? Does that mean I can leave? Oh, Jesus.
36:47
Good.
36:54
Thank you for playing the demo. Thank you for giving me a heart attack.
37:03
Why did I jump out my skin there? Cuz I was I was expecting something.
37:08
I was expecting something. Damn it. Well, there you go. That was the demo to
37:16
an upcoming game called The Wellmon's case. Yes, a slow burner. Or maybe I just took
37:23
too much time. I do not know. Uh but yeah, I thought it was pretty good. Creep the atmosphere.
37:30
Um yeah, a bit annoying that I couldn't use I could not use my flashlight while I
37:36
was inside when the lights went out, but as soon as I got outside where there was light, I could use my flashlight. Yeah.
37:44
I know it's meant to add to the tension and the atmosphere, but I found that a
37:49
bit weird. But luckily, I could use the flashlight all the way through the rest of the game. So, yeah. Well, at least
37:54
the demo. So, that was something just a little minor little gripe that I had,
38:00
but again, it did add to the tension. I still had fun. Still a great little
38:06
game. Uh, a great little demo. And yeah, please let me know what you thought
38:11
about this game in the comments below. With that being said, thank you so much
38:16
for watching and I hope to see you in the next video. This has been Dopey
38:22
Does. Please stay safe out there and whatever you do, do it right.
38:32
