This is the beginning of the story of Trolley-chan.
This has been a significant influence on how I feel about player-driven play in games, and the power of physics objects in 3d games, and designing games to allow for maximum reasonable player freedom.
There's timestamps in the top comment, and here's the playlist.
There's a highlights video of the journey here, but I personally recommend watching the entire series if you have the time. They had to cut out a LOT, since the full let's play is several multi-hour streams. Yes, there's slow bits and repetitive bits. But I feel it's worth it to see the complete struggle and incredible effort that went into bringing Trolley-chan through as much of the game as possible.
I actually found this story through that highlights video, but stopped watching in the middle of it to go find the real thing.
Yes, the rest of Trolley-chan's journey will be posted here as I rewatch it.
