==Video Overview==
Kurt welcomes people back to the game, and shows that he is using the original textures that looked surprisingly alright and better to him than the HD textures. Doing the basic early parkour, Kurt talks about the game influencing the kind of solitary games he likes today, as well as making him notice music cues and other video game development tricks. Kurt finds an underwater secret, and continues onto the upper levels where he finds a key. Kurt is briefly attacked by Pierre, but he drives him off until having to murder three alligators and rats. Answering questions about his early computer days, Kurt says the first family computer was a beige Dell in the late 90s. Remembering playing Microsoft Flight, Kurt is surprised again by Pierre. Making a jump to get a secret, he hits the ground and dies, having to start back from the beginning of the level. He flies through quicker than last time with lots of saving, and finds a key he did not on the previous life. Getting to the jump where he originally died, Kurt fails many times to jump into a secret room. He finally does it for ammo, and continues onwards while talking about how this save feature is easier than save crystals but relies on you remembering. Kurt criticizes games like Bloodborne that don't allow you to save often, saying it is unnecessarily cruel. He uses the silver key, and sees the water level needs changing. Additionally, the Kerbal Space Program culture of there only being one way to do things drove him away. Kurt takes time adjusting the water level, noting the cues showing areas that can be placed underwater with the green moss. Successfully moving the water level up and down, Kurt decides to raise it to the original position to see if there was anything he missed.
