For the past few days, the NieR: Automata community has been completely upset in a secret room. (Opens in a new tab) No one seems to be able to find it, except for the mysterious Reddit user named “sad tugo”. The church contains more unexplained mysteries, as Sadftago called it in the original post about a month ago, causing a debate (and meme) about whether it is genuine or not. ..
Since its launch in 2017, tragic action game fans have been discussing story theory and sharing memes about various subreddits and discords. Nier’s games, especially Automata, are packed with folklore, characters, and unpacking secrets. Last year, Nier and Souls game modder Lance McDonald found a way to skip all of the game’s endings and unlocked post-game features with an ambiguous button combination.Series director Yoko Taro confirmed it as the last secret of the game (Opens in a new tab)..
The Sadfutago church may change that.Everyone noclip mods (Opens in a new tab)I was able to find the church everywhere in the game.
Nier: Discord server Nier modders called Modding Has released regular model exchanges for main characters and weapons and has been tweaking the game balance since its release, but knows how to add completely custom levels and map geometry. Not done. Discord co-owner Jeremy Reed contacted sadfutago after posting his first photo in June to understand where the church came from.
Communication with sadfutago was unstable, but some results were obtained. Discord modders worked with them to try to see if the church was legal by first asking them to take a video of the church. Sadfutago had a hard time working together because of the fact that he was playing a game on his PS4 and wasn’t connected to the internet for uploading. After some prompting by modders, sadfutago uses the phone Record the screen (Opens in a new tab) When they approach a hidden door to a copied city-level area. The unstable video ends before entering the secret room, but the button prompt to open the door is clearly displayed. “She didn’t want to record much because her mom said she wouldn’t take up space,” Sado Futago wrote. comment (Opens in a new tab) The post suggests that the footage was captured using the mother’s phone.
Reed and other mods helped sadfutago capture the footage directly on the PS4 and transfer it to a USB drive. Posted by Sadfutago on July 25th video (Opens in a new tab) Open the doors, fight robot enemies in the game, get off the long ladder and open another door to the winding corridor.Lance McDonald posted his video twitter (Opens in a new tab) The account and it exploded immediately.
“Literally, one person on earth accessed this room and we were uttered. [sic] I was surprised. ” McDonald’s wrote in a tweet that recorded over 3 million views.
Someone randomly posted a video to NieR: Automata’s subreddit to show that they found a secret room in the copied city. So far, no one else understands how this secret door could emerge.

Following McDonald’s post, Nier: Modding Discord and Niersubreddit exploded, and people desperately tried to break down Sadftago’s video and Reddit’s comments to access the room in their game. Sadfutago continued to reply to Reddit, providing information about the version of the game to play and what it achieved in the game playthrough, allowing people to mirror all possible variables.
A person who claimed to have found the door himself was taken to Nier’s speed runner jaynoo_ (Opens in a new tab) The stream they were asked to take more footage. Those who passed by Dee Dee could not provide any evidence other than the screenshots taken from the Sado Futago video. After that, they set out to go buy pizza, but never came back. Meme (Opens in a new tab) Among all who are looking for a church.
Second and Latest video (Opens in a new tab) When they explore the church, they follow them, released by sadfutago. When you enter, a unique cutscene unfolds, revealing the contents of the room, such as a pearly white body with flowers and a tall figure made of black squares. Sadfutago picks up an item of money on the floor and tries to interact with the crouched person to attack, but nothing happens. “I can’t kill the black blobby. I can only go through him. I don’t think there’s any other place to go after that place,” sadfutago wrote in the title of his post. “Black Brobby” (Opens in a new tab)..
The hidden church architecture resembles an unused model in the game, Bayonetta 2 (Opens in a new tab), NieR: Automata developer PlatinumGames released it three years ago, but the church doesn’t have the interior that Sadftago found. The flower held in the white body is the tears of the moon that Yoko Taro uses in many games.McDonald’s also pointed out an object that closely resembles a floating book character. Grimoire Weiss (Opens in a new tab) Nier: When Sadftago steps into the church, the replicant is floating by an open door.

From there all kinds of theories were born. One of the most popular of them is that sadfutago is part of a marketing campaign to make fun of Nier: Automata’s next Nintendo Switch release.Twins means twins in Japanese and there are quite a few twins (Opens in a new tab) In the Nier series.Game producer Yosuke Saito answers church hunting twitter (Opens in a new tab), Tell the fans to “calm down” and buy the switch version. Yoko Taro, who doesn’t use Twitter much, I have written (Opens in a new tab) His response is on his Twitter profile, saying, “I can’t answer for any product. Ask the publisher.” The representative of the game publisher Square Enix is GamesRadar (Opens in a new tab) Also, you cannot comment on the situation.
Since no game mods can find the church, nor can they find anything unique in it in the game’s files, sadfutago pre-releases or releases a version of the game that has never been seen before. Some people think they are playing. Another theory is that sadfutago is playing a modified version of the game by someone who understands how to change levels.
On Tuesday, modder and game developer meowsandstuff, with the help of other modders, documents (Opens in a new tab) I will explain in detail the discrepancy of the video of Sado Futago.The document points out that the body model resembles an updated version of Nier’s girl Jonah: Replicant (Opens in a new tab), The first game in the series remastered last year. The model may have been created a few years ago, but like all other objects in the church, no one has found a model in the 1.0 version of the game that sadfutago claims to play. The modified Discord sifts through the files and continues to double-check, but no one finds anything to support sadfutago’s claim.
Modifiers also note that some items have no down arrow on the floor. This is a symbol that cannot be disabled without a modified game that has access to the debug menu or the automatic collection mod for items. All players can participate in the equipped regular playthrough. Since Sadfutago manually picks up items in the footage, the modder theorizes that the arrow has been removed, so the door button prompt looks real, like an item modified to sell an illusion. I can’t see.
This document delves into the strangeness of the videos and information provided by sadfutago and speculation about its character. No one was able to talk consistently with Sado Futago before they disappeared. Their messages on both subreddit and modified Discord are concise, full of errors, and in English. Not their first language (Opens in a new tab) Or they are young — though they mentioned in a discord message that they would go home from work. I tried to contact them, but I didn’t get any reply.

None of the three well-known mods in the community I’ve spoken to have purchased the story of Sadftago, but they’re still waiting for a breakthrough.
“”[They] I did INSANE’s. It’s impossible for anyone who knows it. Like a custom cut scene, you’ll need the Havok SDK, “McDonald’s told me about the Havok middleware that the game uses with PlatinumGames’ own engine.
Meowsandstuff has shown that it’s not too difficult to recreate a church using the game assets of Blender, a 3D modeling program widely used in game development and mods. He told me that everyone is convinced that sadfutago isn’t telling the truth that the game is untouched.
“That said, it’s definitely me, because what we’ve seen is definitely the work of a talented person, and we want the tools used to build the church to be published. It brought a lot of excitement to many of us, “Meows and stuff told me.
It seems that the story of Sadftago and its mysterious church is not over yet. Serious search has declined due to remodeling discord, but many still want some sort of solution. If this seems to be the secret of the past of other games, It may take years.. But if the result is a big step forward in the mods of Nier: Automata, a five-year-old game with an active and enthusiastic fan base, even if it doesn’t turn out to be a true secret level. , May finish successfully.
