XCVB

XCVB is a game played by Markiplier.

Game Information
XCVB is an action game in which the player, a pair of crossed arrows, navigates a maze with the goal of reaching the checkered stripe to proceed to the next level. If not the second, it is one of the first of Markiplier's Let's-plays in which he records a game while sick.

As the title suggests, the player navigates each level with the keys X, C, V, and B. The player controls a pair of perpendicular arrows that point in two directions. The player can only move in the directions that the arrows face, but the player can also change the direction that the arrows face. If the player touches any of the walls of the labyrinth, they immediately re-appear at the beginning. At first, the graphics of XCVB are various shades of gray, black, and white, but as the player progresses through the stages, the graphics take on an array of bright, flashing colors and patterns.

Playthrough
While most of Markiplier's sick-day let's-plays are characterized by his personality being more light-hearted and giggly, this let's-play is unique in that his mood is characterized by frustration and lack of focus. The frustration was mainly brought on by the confusing controls of the game, leading Markiplier to repeat numerous mistakes while navigating the maze, causing him to hit a wall and start over.
