Okay i'm going to be completely unironic the bird's AI is good imo. Every game has the monster just make a beeline towards you if it see's you. The bird instead acts like an animal. It walks towards you, and stops before staring you down. He steps around cautiously, sizing you up, as if debating whether he can actually take you. And then when he realizes you wont be able to do shit to him he rushes you. That very accurate animal-like behavior actually sort of freaks me out a bit, it's the one thing I can give this game. I wish more indie horrors had unique-ish AI like that.
If you want interesting AI in a horror game like that, go play a game called The Forest. The sequel, Sons of The Forest is coming out in February too! The enemies are these cannibals who you are trapped on this island with. They have their own culture, command structure, religion, and beliefs. And they don't always attack you. Sometimes they fake you out, retreat, or just watch you. Its quite scary and your actions effect how they work. Sometimes they even start praying or mourning their fallen comrades, and if a cannibal is knocked down by you, they may try and drag them away to safety Squad-style while you're distracted.
shit, it took nearly 10 years to get ai that is somewhat like the alien's ai from alien isolation and even then it's a cheap copy (no I wont count emmis in dread, they are in 2d, not 3d).
It reminds me of how indie horror games like DDLC, Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion, Fran Bow, and Sally Face, which aren't afraid of showing gore and discuss dark topics like abuse, mental health and suicide, are just getting buried by "horror games" for little kids like Poppy Playtime and Rainbow Friends...
@UChniTNJ57nW2Ql7qHWUMf-g I think the main problem, is that those products aren’t scary. Horror is in the name for a reason, and rainbow frienda and garten aren’t scary. Playtime can be, but the other two aren’t really. I get more scared playing a fallout game
Okay i’ve been thinking this for a while, but Rainbow friends is literally a roblox game. Of course its for kids. Why are we comparing it to other indie horror games its literally for kids
Even if the devs say otherwise, I legitimately believe this is one of the greatest examples of a parody game we've seen in recent years. It takes every trope, the abandoned kids related facility, the simplistic kid friendly monsters, the monotonous puzzles and the unique but boring mechanics and bundles all of it into a 15 nugget of gold. I honestly hope a sequel does come out because I haven't laughed as hard as this ever. Opila bird is one of the funniest characters ever put into fiction, bravo garten of banban devs.

@@fansee1368 Yeah cuz animals just stand there staring at you. Also I never said you liked the game, and you didn't need to right a whole essay to defend a shit take.
@DarklordKermit77 animals do stand there and watch you😂. Watch videos of wild cats and dogs. They either wait for a reaction from you or they pace around you to size you up. But in this case, yeah it was broken, and probably made by accident But if it was on purpose, it's kind of cool and freaky how she paces in front of you. Once you flee is when she beelines it for you. Which if it was done well actually would've been scary
If Garden of Banban turns out to be a meta project, that criticizes the modern state of indie horror, I wouldn't even be surprised. The complete lack of creativity, the awful blob-like characters, bad mechanics - it's so bad, my brain can not take it seriously. The bird's expression is exactly how this game makes me feel. Tired and dead inside.
Like legit we went from a tall guy with no face and tentacles in the woods to a robot bear in a pizza place to a mansion with 1000 rooms filled with monsters to a mysterious guy who's basement needs to be broken into to a 1930s cartoon brought to life with the powers of Satan to a Furby who's got an angry mother who is also a demon to a toy factory that was bringing toys to life using humans to a laboratory filled with super basic friends matching rainbow colors to a kindergarten that's wider than a military base with shit character designs that is somehow getting a sequel.
ik this is irrelevant but when did we decide that slenderman officially had tentacles? did he have tentacles in the somethingscary pictures or were tentacles shown in the game? maybe it was in Marble Hornets? either way the scariest part about slenderman is that it has its own shitshow of a movie
Imagine if Garten of Banban 2 ends up being a High Quality actually scary game with great characters, a monster with a motivation and amazing lore Edit: Welp...
If I had a nickle for every chapter based game that takes place in an abbandoned facility that has you do puzzles and then at the end of a chapter has one of the main characters come to life and chase you or another character taking your only way to escape and bringing you deeper in to the facility (BanBan's isn't really an escape but oh well) while also having the main enemy be skinny and with a U shaped head (huggy's is less but who cares). I'd have 3 nickels; which while I could have done fine without a 2nd one, a 3rd Nickle Is one Nickle too many
No I think that's just further evidence on why it's satire, they're trying to mock games like poppy playtime for having overpriced merch on day one. And plus one of the game over screens litteraly just says the letter "s" lmao
@@Cloudymuffinz I mean, if your idea of mocking someone is doing the exact same thing they're doing, then sure. It just goes to show how there's no satire in this game.
It’s gonna be one of those games that doesn’t SEEM like it has massive lore, but the devs will make it up as they go along with its surprising popularity
tbh fnaf is weird bc in mascot horror genre its became its own subgenre (like due to mascot horror rn beimg the linear puzzle thing with lore and chase scenes along the way, fnaf gameplay is like an oddball in the group)
the reason because the environment looks weird is because most of the assets are from the asset store (meaning that the creators didnt make any of the environment) literally everything is from the asset store other than the 2 characters and the drawings on the walls
I think something that needed to be talked about is the developer, Euphoric Universe. Garten of Banban isn't the first game that this developer had made, and just by looking at the list of games they made, there's this... bizarre sense of tone to them? At least, just based off the game summaries. Like one game they made is about toppings trying to survive being eaten on a pizza, while another is about an ex-zombie who has to deal with a world where a cure has been found for zombification. It's freaking wild. From some of the reviews, there appears to be more to dislike than there is to like, but I honestly wouldn't mind a video looking into these games, especially since most of them do appear to lean into the horror angle.
Fun Fact!: Some people don't know why "Garten of Banban" has Garten in the name. Here's why: You play in a kindergarten, kinderGARTEN with Banban and his friends
@@Sappysappster is it horror, though? The first act certainly has an unsettling aesthetic (which I love) but im not sure if you could compare it to a dedicated horror game I love Inscryption though
Garten of Banban is literally just a Poppy Playtime ripoff, which is somewhat a Bendy and the Ink Machine ripoff, which is based on the idea of distorted mascot characters which can be traced back to FNAF and Creepypasta's. So in conclusion, go play Oblitus Casa if you want some actually descent mascot horror.
I think what upsets me the most about this game is that the ingredients for a scary horror game are all there. As @skeletonhearts1837 mentioned, the bird has really good ai that could've been utilized better. The story, while a tad stale, could've been so cool. The designs for the monsters, while sadly bad, are ones I could imagine in a kindergarten. It could've been great, if there was actual love in this project. Who knows, maybe It could've triumphed over fnaf, if given the passion it deserved. But no. It was haphazardly made.
Lets be honest. This game Is gonna trive even if it is garbage cause of youtubers. The fact we let this game even get talked about is saddening. Can't belive kids are gonna unironically enjoy this. Oh well... Bird up
Could you imagine when Garten of Banban 2 comes out there is a major spike in quality overall. Like after everyone rhetorically shits on this game the second one comes out and it’s the next resident evil or silent hill of indie horror
My favorite part of this video is you comparing the game to Bee Movie. Also, if you think that Poppy Playtime, FNaF Security Breach, and BATIM are garbage, then you would compare Hello Neighbor to Cars 2
garten of banban is the most game of all time. my favorite part is when he says "it's garten of banbaning time" and starts garten of banbaning all over the place. also fun fact, there was no cgi used in this game everything is absolutely real
I personally believe this game was made *with the purpose of making fun of MOB games and their use of kid-friendly horror for profit* It's so lazy and bad cause thats what the indie horror has become lately. Besides the fact THE moment it released it already had a merch button and an advertisement of the second part is a clear nod to Poppy Playtime and their scummy business practices. The developers are just making fun of it, I'm sure they laughed all the way making it. Not only that, but the dev theme has also previously released pretty questionable games (like one where a kid becomes a school sh--ter). They are a weird bunch at best. *This was never meant to be taken seriously*
The Virgin Garten of BanBan -tries to make its monster looks scary, but just look terrible -uninteresting lore -generic and doesn’t try to innovate -easier than Kirby games -awful drone mechanic -devs take it seriously -game over screen is just a random letter The Chad Faith: the Unholy Trinity -simple concept but innovative enough to be enjoyed -scary monsters despite being made of pixels -very simple combat mechanic but still engaging -interesting lore -difficult boss fights -multiple endings, with some bad endings -dev doesn’t take it too seriously -multiple interesting locations you travel -excellent soundtrack -terrifying rotoscope animation -has a “memes” section in the game files, which includes a Morbius meme -game over screen is “mortis”
There is a part of me that does actually find the bird creepy and it’s purely because of unintentional things. Like the texture, the bad walk, and the actually kinda creepy eyes do partially work… partially. I find bad and barren graphics to have a weird dreamlike creep to it. Like the demo for batim is way creepier than the final game. The game sucks ass and all of that creepiness was unintentional (except the eyes I guess) but I do kinda wish more unexperienced devs would take advantage of poorly made graphics. This rant had absolutely no point. I just spewed some words
I feel the same honestly. Also the old batim was way creepier for me as well. If you like games that take advantage of that though, maybe check out puppet combo games, or there is a game called the last Monday that I think nailed it's vibe pretty well.
The devs made a new game and load save button implying they expect anyone to play the game more than once or feel the need to leave the game and play it another day which I find insulting
to be honest, NOTHING is as bad as Rainbow Friends. garten of banban feels like some guy who really did want to make a good horror game, but he just ended up making poppy playtime but bad. i dont like garten of banban, but i can see its just made by someone who didnt really know how to make an original and good game. theres the main mascot horror, fnaf, and then poppy playtime, the game well inspired by fnaf. i understand a lot of critisisms with poppy, but i like it. rainbow friends is just a cash grab made for actual toddlers. garten of banban is made by an idiot who wanted in on the mascot horror fun.
Even as someone who likes indie horror, even I was turned off by this game. I think the appeal of Mascot horror is the Juxtaposition part, the concept of kid friendly things being horrifying is nothing new, but I don’t think games like this really “get” that, and it’s kinda sad. Besides, I have thought of an idea for a horror game that takes place in a kindergarten or daycare like area, but thanks to this game I don’t think anyone’s going to touch that with a 10 foot poll
This game feels like a mix of poppy and bendy and then sucked of all soul. At least Poppy Playtime has a semblance of quality and at least Joey Drew Studios actually cared about the Bendy IP since they made BATDR which is a MASSIVE upgrade from the original bendy and also a pretty good game. This game has nothing.
The only thing i like abt the game is just how goofy the bird looks Bro looks so zooted and he stares at you like he's tryna figure out if you're real or if he just hallucinated you
Wow, since around 2018, i haven't seen an actually amazing game, nor indie or triple A, It has all been broken cashgrabs like Security Breach, Violet and Scarlett, Soulstorm, and this crap
watch out for my new indie horror game, mr boogie bops play palace where a big fucking squerill mascot for a car insurance company chases you around and you must do puzzle and there is a lotta colors cuz and olso 10 more scary characters that u meet as u go through the game and it will have 65 chapters
Funny enough, the play area actually resembles a play area at a daycare/preschool place that happens to also be a baptist church, like with the big area that looks like it would be a big garage or basement but there's plenty of empty space and a bunch of play stuff and whatnot, legit there was a big plastic tree thing that you could walk into in the middle of it, it activated my inner child as I wanted to explore the place lmao, so I was partly jealous that little brother got to go that place, I never went to public daycare nor did I go to preschool. So yeah, the play room that game has gives me the vibes of a daycare, as sometimes daycare places do have big rooms for that. So that was probably the most realistic or probable part of the entire game that made any semblance of sense that it was supposed to be a daycare, kindergarten or both.
I remember playing this game on a discord call and when I saw the bird peaking at me a friend played the uncle ruckus music and I started laughing so hard
After seeing the internets reaction to the game the devs will definitely make the bird come back somehow Alright guys place your bets on it being zombird or birdtrap
I played this game, and it was the worst experience I've ever had playing a horror game. It's not scary, it never tells you what to do, it looks like trash, and I HATED playing it. I legitimately took me like an hour to beat it over the coarse of 2 days.
Is nobody gonna talk about that this was only made with 2 people?!?!? Its probably why it has basically no effort, they don't have a team and probably just started learning how to code and stuff like that.
The difference is….poppy playtime and bendy are actually creative and have good ideas and interesting lore. A kindergarten is such a cool location! There are so many types of characters you could use
Going by Occam's Razor, this is probably just a shitty asset-flip from two dudes trying to make a fad last long enough to profit. However, it's too shitty to even pass up the idea that it's a satirical take on the state of indie horror.
This game feels like a joke but it genuinely wasn't one (no matter how much the devs try to back peddle on that now) but I unironically love the opila bird because it is just so stupid and goofy. Like the saddest most misshapen dog at the pound.
I would have discounted this game as a parody of the genre, but the devs began insulting other games and people who criticized their game that it’s obvious they want this game to succeed and not be taken as a joke
IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD
Yes it's just an amalgmation of sketchfab models that doesn't match each other !!! And worse of all of things .........THEY HAVE MERCH ALREADY WTF !!!!!!! but one thing tho , surisingly this game is so charming !!! idk why
Too be honest if you saw the video/documentary about the fall of mascot horror, this is one of the few examples, in the video The “narrator“ would say that the present (now of course) it just came from unique characters from blobs with colors.
The reason why the game can be so inconsistent at times with its environments is because most of the assets used here aren't even original. They literally got them from a fucking asset store. Which is pretty lazy if you ask me.
Okay i'm going to be completely unironic the bird's AI is good imo.
Every game has the monster just make a beeline towards you if it see's you. The bird instead acts like an animal. It walks towards you, and stops before staring you down.

one of the only pros of this game
That's why the bird is the greatest character in all of fiction
If you want interesting AI in a horror game like that, go play a game called The Forest. The sequel, Sons of The Forest is coming out in February too! The enemies are these cannibals who you are trapped on this island with. They have their own culture, command structure, religion, and beliefs. And they don't always attack you. Sometimes they fake you out, retreat, or just watch you. Its quite scary and your actions effect how they work. Sometimes they even start praying or mourning their fallen comrades, and if a cannibal is knocked down by you, they may try and drag them away to safety Squad-style while you're distracted.
shit, it took nearly 10 years to get ai that is somewhat like the alien's ai from alien isolation
and even then it's a cheap copy (no I wont count emmis in dread, they are in 2d, not 3d).

My favorite part is when ban ban said its baning time and the banbaned all over the place
The description: "yep, that's dark deception all right"
The Virgin Garten of BanBan
-tries to make its monster looks scary, but just look terrible
-uninteresting lore
-generic and doesn’t try to innovate
-easier than Kirby games
-awful drone mechanic
-devs take it seriously
-game over screen is just a random letter
The Chad Faith: the Unholy Trinity

-interesting lore
-difficult boss fights
-multiple endings, with some bad endings
-dev doesn’t take it too seriously
-multiple interesting locations you travel
-excellent soundtrack
-terrifying rotoscope animation
-has a “memes” section in the game files, which includes a Morbius meme

There is a part of me that does actually find the bird creepy and it’s purely because of unintentional things. Like the texture, the bad walk, and the actually kinda creepy eyes do partially work… partially. I find bad and barren graphics to have a weird dreamlike creep to it. Like the demo for batim is way creepier than the final game.
The game sucks ass and all of that creepiness was unintentional (except the eyes I guess) but I do kinda wish more unexperienced devs would take advantage of poorly made graphics.
This rant had absolutely no point. I just spewed some words
I feel the same honestly. Also the old batim was way creepier for me as well.
If you like games that take advantage of that though, maybe check out puppet combo games, or there is a game called the last Monday that I think nailed it's vibe pretty well.
The devs made a new game and load save button implying they expect anyone to play the game more than once or feel the need to leave the game and play it another day which I find insulting
to be honest, NOTHING is as bad as Rainbow Friends.
garten of banban feels like some guy who really did want to make a good horror game, but he just ended up making poppy playtime but bad. i dont like garten of banban, but i can see its just made by someone who didnt really know how to make an original and good game. theres the main mascot horror, fnaf, and then poppy playtime, the game well inspired by fnaf. i understand a lot of critisisms with poppy, but i like it. rainbow friends is just a cash grab made for actual toddlers. garten of banban is made by an idiot who wanted in on the mascot horror fun.
3:05 bendy shouldn't be there . My opinion tho
Even as someone who likes indie horror, even I was turned off by this game. I think the appeal of Mascot horror is the Juxtaposition part, the concept of kid friendly things being horrifying is nothing new, but I don’t think games like this really “get” that, and it’s kinda sad.
Besides, I have thought of an idea for a horror game that takes place in a kindergarten or daycare like area, but thanks to this game I don’t think anyone’s going to touch that with a 10 foot poll
I'm so glad I recomended you stream this lol
Imagine the main face of the whole game literally just appears at the last 10 seconds.
This game feels like a mix of poppy and bendy and then sucked of all soul. At least Poppy Playtime has a semblance of quality and at least Joey Drew Studios actually cared about the Bendy IP since they made BATDR which is a MASSIVE upgrade from the original bendy and also a pretty good game. This game has nothing.
The beginning of an era
Poppy playtime is considered high quality? What a world we live in
Chapter 3 is INSANELY good from what I've heard
Yeah it is, chapter 1-3 looks pretty high quality to me.
RIP horror this makes my scared for what comes in this year

It’s depressing Dawko would play something as bad as this. He’s a good man, but he needs to learn what makes a game good or bad.
yeah but Dawko has good positive energy

Tbh the meatly's parody of indie horror games (meatly's storage world) is actually better than this, and that one is a literal joke.
And it was made in ONE DAY BRUH AND STILL LOOKS BETTER THAN THAT SHITTY BANBAN GAME LMAO
The baddist: bendy, FNAF security breach, and poppy playtime are the shrek thirds of indie horror.
Hello neighbor: am I a joke to you?
So this is how far people have fallen. And with "people" i mean the people who give these things popularity
i feel like it should say something that i thought this game was a parody of the whole "modern kid-friendly mascot horror" thing for like several days
I like how you say that the bird is the worst indiemonster YET
The only thing i like abt the game is just how goofy the bird looks
Bro looks so zooted and he stares at you like he's tryna figure out if you're real or if he just hallucinated you
Wow, since around 2018, i haven't seen an actually amazing game, nor indie or triple A, It has all been broken cashgrabs like Security Breach, Violet and Scarlett, Soulstorm, and this crap
the only amazing game i played is the forest
allow me to introduce you to Zardy's Maze
Barten of Gangan
I wonder if the next game will just have a box as a mascot…..
The Sharknado of video games
This gotta be a joke, this game is just too funnily bad
watch out for my new indie horror game, mr boogie bops play palace where a big fucking squerill mascot for a car insurance company chases you around and you must do puzzle and there is a lotta colors cuz and olso 10 more scary characters that u meet as u go through the game and it will have 65 chapters
"Okkkk.. a horror character, toothy smile, big eyes, 3 second scuplted body, veins.... do I get my money now?"
The fact that this game managed to become very popular by basically being the mascot horror game equivalent of The Room is concerning.
A guy talking behind a female sprite will forever be super weird to me in a way that i just cant get over smh
Funny enough, the play area actually resembles a play area at a daycare/preschool place that happens to also be a baptist church, like with the big area that looks like it would be a big garage or basement but there's plenty of empty space and a bunch of play stuff and whatnot, legit there was a big plastic tree thing that you could walk into in the middle of it, it activated my inner child as I wanted to explore the place lmao, so I was partly jealous that little brother got to go that place, I never went to public daycare nor did I go to preschool. So yeah, the play room that game has gives me the vibes of a daycare, as sometimes daycare places do have big rooms for that. So that was probably the most realistic or probable part of the entire game that made any semblance of sense that it was supposed to be a daycare, kindergarten or both.
Aged like soft cheese on a tropical island
I’m waiting for the inevitable parody game where they give the protagonist guns
6 months later and he’s become the one and only BanBanTuber
When I played the game, for half of my playthrough i didn't know you could teleport the drone so I just moved it manually and it was so frustrating
a wattpad reader x jeff the killer is more horrifying then garten of banban
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I believe I found a horror game worse than hello neighbor (if this game isn’t satirical)
Shrek is a Masterpiece, Garten of Banban is not.
This game is basically if somebody took poppy playtime then proceed to shit on it and then labelled it as something playable lol.
I remember playing this game on a discord call and when I saw the bird peaking at me a friend played the uncle ruckus music and I started laughing so hard
After seeing the internets reaction to the game the devs will definitely make the bird come back somehow
Alright guys place your bets on it being zombird or birdtrap
I played this game, and it was the worst experience I've ever had playing a horror game.
It's not scary, it never tells you what to do, it looks like trash, and I HATED playing it. I legitimately took me like an hour to beat it over the coarse of 2 days.
Is nobody gonna talk about that this was only made with 2 people?!?!? Its probably why it has basically no effort, they don't have a team and probably just started learning how to code and stuff like that.
That's because they're learning they're coding overtime, as they're not well experienced as other developers
they made a game alot better than banban it was called Egghead gumpty
I'm glad I'm not the only one who kinda enjoys it
Im worried people are missing the point in making horror games.
The difference is….poppy playtime and bendy are actually creative and have good ideas and interesting lore. A kindergarten is such a cool location! There are so many types of characters you could use
Going by Occam's Razor, this is probably just a shitty asset-flip from two dudes trying to make a fad last long enough to profit.
However, it's too shitty to even pass up the idea that it's a satirical take on the state of indie horror.
This game feels like a joke but it genuinely wasn't one (no matter how much the devs try to back peddle on that now) but I unironically love the opila bird because it is just so stupid and goofy. Like the saddest most misshapen dog at the pound.
Isn’t this a parody game? It seems a lot like one and in that context it seems a lot better
“garten of banban rule 34”
DID YOU SAY BENDY ISN'T FUN
I love the stupid goofy bird.
the bird is actually terrifying
I would have discounted this game as a parody of the genre, but the devs began insulting other games and people who criticized their game that it’s obvious they want this game to succeed and not be taken as a joke
we need more horror games like Zardy's Maze
Garden of banban is the example of how low get the indie games today..
IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD IM THE BIGGEST BIRD
Yes it's just an amalgmation of sketchfab models that doesn't match each other !!!
And worse of all of things .........THEY HAVE MERCH ALREADY WTF !!!!!!!
but one thing tho , surisingly this game is so charming !!! idk why
Too be honest if you saw the video/documentary about the fall of mascot horror, this is one of the few examples, in the video The “narrator“ would say that the present (now of course) it just came from unique characters from blobs with colors.
To add on to it there is hardly often a backstory and I agree that you said that the characters are SUPER LAZY
The reason why the game can be so inconsistent at times with its environments is because most of the assets used here aren't even original. They literally got them from a fucking asset store. Which is pretty lazy if you ask me.
I want to say that this game is the lowest of the low for mascot horror, but I feel like that’d be jinxing it.
