Rest in peace, Robert Brock. And thank you for creating such an impactful game.
Presentable Liberty is a horror game unlike any other. It relies on storytelling, and may have no exploration involved, but this game impacts you and alters your mind in the same way that DDLC, My Eyes Deceive, or Omori would. The story in this game holds up even stronger a decade later, especially after what happened in 2020 (game was made in 2014). So, if you are unaware of what this game is about, buckle up, because this game will rip apart your emotions in one fell swoop.

Welp, somehow, I had written in the script and recorded in the voiceover the alternate ending of the game, where you stay in your room instead of leaving. However, in my sleep deprived 4AM state, I completely forgot to edit it in. Whoops. My apologies. I'll paste the text/script below of what happens in the alternate ending.
"As I mentioned either, when your cell door was unlocked, you had the option to remain inside. If you chose to do so, Doctor Money does have the power restored eventually, and you are locked back in your cell. He writes you a few more letters, calling you an imbecile. He informs you that you were immune to the virus, as he had given you the only working antidote. He informs you that now, since you were immune to the virus, your organs were worth millions of dollars. He thanks you for your cooperation, and to please stand by. In the epilogue, we are told that over the next 12 days, we beat all the games that Mr. Smiley bought for us. After those 12 days, someone did come up to your cell, and while you thought they might have been a friend, the thought couldn’t even be completed before you were murdered. In this ending, Doctor Money had not only taken your friends' lives, but he had also taken yours."
Again, I'm really sorry I left it out. The good news though, is that due to getting rid of the Wednesday uploads, I won't ever have to speed-run the Sunday videos again! Unless it's the week of the ACT. Then y'all might not even get a video… (time will only tell). Have a good day!
Omg, can you also talk about Exoptable Money? That was such an awesome game too
That game is my #1 favorite game, one of my first videos of markiplier playing actually…. long live squirrel king
There’s another game, called Expotable Money, in the same universe; it would be a good follow-up video, I believe.
Thats it? I'm sorry but… I genuine dont get how thats sooo deep? It feels really forced.
man i forgot this game existed
hey man when you put up a viewer discretion, could you make mentions of maybe what is being talked about? that gives a little extra info if people wanna stick around or not. otherwise, great video. I remember this game when markiplier played it but only bits and pieces lol. i suggest a game called The Static Speaks My Name
I played this game years ago and it made me cry. Watching this video and just remembering how i was able to connect to people who i never saw and who are parts of a video game just affected me so much that i got teary eyed just remembering while watching this video.
I watched coryxkenshin play this when I was little. One of the first emotional narratives I enjoyed so much I had to go watch a bunch of other YouTubers play it to see how they felt.
You were right to use the saying, but you got the wording wrong.
The saying is actually; "The love of money is the root of all evil".
It still works though, because Doctor Money loved money so much, he was willing to do the most horrific things imaginable just to make more.
Thank you for mentioning the creator at the beginning. It's been almost 6 years since Robert died and I never even knew until now. I never knew the name of who made Presentable Liberty either, but the game left an impact on me. I bet Robert Brock would have gone on to make even more amazing things like this game. Regardless, he's left his mark on the world, and I appreciate what's here.
RAAHHH PRESENTABLE LIBERTY MENTION WHAT THE FUCK IS MONITORED INTERNET ACCESS!!! but in all seriousness this game changed my life. thank you for talking about it.
I watched multiple videos presentable liberty let’s plays over the years this is the first time I’ve ever heard that there were more than one ending.
I remember watching mark play this when i was like 14 and it fucked me up
I remember feeling so bad for the happy buddy. I really wanted him to get better.
Even as an 8 year old watching Markiplier’s gameplay shortly after its release, I could understand the message and the narrative this game was trying to tell and it definitely broke my heart. Maybe it foreshadowed my own depression that would inevitably befall me during my early teens that still plagues me now 5 years later. Who knows. What an amazing game, of the best indie games of the 2010s for sure. Rest in peace Robert 🙁
The Love Of Money Is The Route To All Evil
It was written by a depressed person
Sorry but it feels like this game was written by an AI. Couldn't help but roll my eyes when the main villain was named mr Money who caused a dissease to make more money and sold organs that didn't even work. I don't understand how this can be emotionally resonating with anyone but to each their own.
Can anyone the song at 16:35?
I love the use of simple names in tales like this one. Makes me remember old fairy tales from my childhood.
me already being sad at the ending: ˙◠˙
me after reading the alternative ending: °◠°
Markipliers original playthrough really got me
