supervisor acting weird supervisor green eyes fey appearance is my supervisor a fey is my supervisor a fey reddit how to ward of fair folk cast iron coffee mug amazon
i love that even the "solution" sections slowly reveal the fact that the hsh is 100% a bunch of fae. like, in the descriptions of spirits they prioritise the freedom of the spirits, and in the descriptions of flora-like anomalies seriously encourage ignoring the plant or taking care of it. also they fucking hate mice. Its great
The nail in the coffin is the Fae Feast solution being "Someone worked hard to offer you this, it would be rude to ignore it! Eat it c: " Meaning that you are now bound to the fae and cannot escape an unpredictable and horribly weird fate. Never eat fae food.
The player character realizing they've been moused while the fucking fancy font text saying "You are unemployed" appears is the pinnacle of surrealist humor
I've seen it pointed out in the comments on ManlyBadassHero's video, but it bears repeating. It is very much on point for the fae to subject their employee to a dangerous, mysterious ritual in the forest only for the reward to be a regular promotion to junior supervisor
"Hey uhh, I was instructed by the police to call this number for some odd reason, I'm not sure why. I have this... thin tall looking man who keeps playing mario kart in my living room. I don't know who the hell he is but he keeps bragging on how they used to call him the Drift King back in college or something... I don't know what the hell this dude's deal is, he won't leave when I keep telling him to. Who the hell is this guy and how do I deal with him?"
Fae is such an incredibly underused concept for horror games, theyre these goofy fickle things but also fucking terrifying. Every fae folklore irl is like "Its the spoon goblin! Every night he'll steal one spoon from you, unless you put out a slice of carrot! But be careful not to let him get 10 spoons! Or he'll shove them down your childs throat in the middle of the night until they choke to death on blood and metal." So much potential for creepy shit there
Right?! I absolutely adore this game. I've long loved everything about the fae, twigged real early that's what the game was dealing with and had a complete blast. It's such a fantastic concept.
Slimcicle did a video playing this game, and he had a similar view. He said something along the lines of “There’s something so whimsical yet terrifying about the fae, in the not knowing, because you’re playing on their terms and don’t really know the rules.” Which I think kind of hits the nail on the head. Part of the reason they’re scary is that you aren’t playing by your own rules, you’re playing by theirs, and as such you don’t know what the rules are.
It really is just "crazy unpredictable s*** happens" with Fae. So yeah, exploring how a world would react to all assortments of Fae existing, or coming into existence, could make for some decent horror.
some of the threats are so disturbing... especially the ones that end up just being something like "your son's been sucked into a tv. he's cooked. don't worry though! we can help with the grieving process! :D"
"Your child was consumed by living bush. Have a nice day :D" Or "Your son dissapeared and there is a strange tree in his room? Don't worry, that tree is your son now, don't forget to water him periodically. "
What’s even funnier is that all the common, real life stuff, is wrong. For instance, the photo of the bed bug is actually a stinkbug. They’re all wrong in some small way which is honestly hilarious to me
@galaxycat9966 As soon as the caller said they were seeing what looked like coffee grounds, I immediately knew it was roaches. Hooray for lousy apartments...
The fun thing is that is also a documented schizophrenic delusion that exists in real life, although I imagine the in-game explanation is something supernatural.
@kaleenar963i feel like the game would have both supernatural one and the normal one because itd be more terrifying if it's almost indistinguishable between which it is
analog horror with fae mythology instead of the usual eldrich nonsense is fun. The hotline seems to be run by nature spirits, that’s why they can turn people into woodland critters.
I find it so funny how the call center isn't actually evil, you think they are but they do nothing wrong the entire game, they are genuinely good people AND they give promotions easily, to be honest that's the dream company to work for This message was brought to ye by the fae
@The_Green_Goober I mean in fairness, you only get fired if you get several answers wrong, and each answer you get wrong is a fatality. If it makes you feel any better, being a mouse is tax-deductible!
Part of the reason the fae are so terrifying, is that entering any engagement with them entails playing a by wholly unique set of rules each time. There’s a general set of rules (don’t tell them your name, don’t eat any food in their realm, etc,), but each individual creature has it’s own special rules for dealing with them. Something that makes them the perfect subject for a game like this, that’s all about identifying threats based on small amounts of information. What you’re essentially given is a grimoire of sorts that you have to comb through to find out how to confront each fae, which is a really cool and terrifying idea
@glebglub exchange names, make sure you got their REAL one, then evaluate that you are now 100% trapped for all eternity with a creature that at MOST thinks of you as a beloved pet equivelant.....some people like that though, so enjoy? and bring cream, honey, all that yummy human food that fae crave alot
In russian folklore the foolproof way to deal with supernatural beings is to swear profusely and curse them out loud. I don't remember the specific, but I always found that kinda funny. Slavic spiritual traditions are either "remember your ancestors's wisdom" or bake your babies with rarely anything in between.
@glebglub Go up to one and ask “I lost my number, can I have yours?” It works more often than you’d think. Good luck if you ever want to break up them though 👍
It seems like an interesting SCP-esque kinda deal. As much as possible, prevent knowledge about such dangers from being known in order to prevent widespread panic. Hobbs seem like they'd be a well-known creature in this universe though, pretty handy, very useful. Just gotta give it some offerings.
As someone who has worked in a call centre, I can confirm this is an accurate representation of an average 9-5 office job from the types of customers that call in to being turned into rats if your contract gets terminated all to appease the Black Mold
@StickMaster500 it's not 100% accurate, they don't give out promotions as easily and the jobs aren't as stable, the fae aren't gonna fire you at random
The amount of dread I felt when I got the phone call from the mother about her missing kid, and then realizing that a false artifact matched the description...
Navidson: "Hi, sorry to call, but I just bought a new House and it seems to be bigger on the inside than the outside? And there's a weird corridor....." RT: "Black Mould.
I went to middle school with Nick, the dev of this game! It's so great that his stuff is getting recognized for how good and unique it is. He totally deserves it. For other games he's developed/co-developed, I recommend Doodle Date and We Need to Go Deeper!
I absolutely adore this game. An experience born of passion and fun, you can tell everyone involved had a blast working on their part of it. I genuinely believe this is what games are all about.
for real! i enjoy almost all art the most when you can tell that the people that made it actually had fun making it! as a game developer myself, the games that turn out best, are the ones that are made with genuine passion and where the team is allowed to fool around, trying to get laughs from the other developers!
Cool fact about thunder peak is that it is a real place in utah called timpinogus cave most if the footage, including the door and cave, is there I've been a bunch of times!
Fun fact about those prank calls they're a reference to a well known prankster called 'Longmont potion castle'. His calls are so funny and full of sound effects and voice changers, they did an amazing job recreating their charm.
I think Slay the Princess was one of them. Happy Game, but I'm not sure when Dan played it... I wouldn't be surprised if Dan ends up playing Mouthwashing at some point, too. I feel like Manly is partially the reason quite a few indie horror games get some sense of recognition. (The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, You Found Larry, Endoparasitic, House, Not My Neighbor, Buckshot Roulette, Amanda the Adventurer, etc...) I'd have to do more research about when Manly played them versus when others picked them up... He does *main* this genre, after all...
I love that games have gotten to a point where weird creative people can make something this niche and get it out there without the need for some big shot publisher to look at it and say "Hmmm.... maybe if it had loot boxes we could sell it..." Like... honestly some of the most creative shit. Love it.
RTGame DESCRIPTION: RTGame is an Irish RUclipsr known for excessive swearing and his crippling gambling addiction. Armed with an English doctorate, they used to call him the Drift King back in college. DANGER: RTGame is prone to gambling and isn't very good at it, he may invade your home to scrounge for loose change and money in order to fuel his addiction. He is known to primarily invade Las Vegas. SOLUTION: Installing the Willy Wonka slot machine will attract RT to your house, when he eventually runs out of funds he is much more likely to leave on his own volition.
Varient: Danoshiro: He's gone too far you must evacuate the building immediatly if he's seen, he can gamble freely without worrying about money, He is the house now and The House always wins.
29:45 when i saw this clip I recognized the location, this is the timpanogos cave in Utah, I've been here, in some cases you do have to remove your shoes because of White Nose Syndrome, the door also does legitimately look like that, didn't bring a sword with me when I went which was a big mistake as I had no means of defending myself against The Cave Creature
Im glad someone else noticed! First the fence looked really familiar, and then once I saw the door, I knew it was Timpanogos Cave. I wonder if the devs are from Utah.
It is astounding how nearly every major youtuber who has played this game makes the gag about black mold being the infallible answer to any situation. It's like a hivemind or something- Great vid!
Being in chat this stream was great because after we got told off for backseating (which fair, we messed up, sorry Dan) chat immediately decided that EVERY. SINGLE. ISSUE. Was a housefire. The only thing chat said for the rest of the stream was “Housefire!” “Black mold!” And “THE DOG D:”
it's very fun how the callcenter tries to help and everyone that got wrong information is extremely angry instead of saying "didnt work, what else can i do?" everyone who works in a call center could probably confirm that people are exactly like that
I worked at a call center during the covid lockdown 6 years ago (OH JESUS) and yes in fact they did call to say we did not help them with their legal issues and other things we legally couldn't help with. I once had a guy call to say he wanted to commit an act of terrorism on me so that was cool for my 19 y/o brain to experience
From what I could get of the Latin they were singing “Reginae raccione insecula contoura” which I believe is something like “the queens eternal account of contours” Edit: might be veraccione, so truthful eternal contours
You can tell whoever made this game worked at a call center because this got entirely too close to my irl job for comfort. Like "had to leave the video at 14:41 because of flashbacks" too close for comfort.
it's refreshing to see fairies used for horror games like this, they've got so much potential for that ridiculous yet extremely disturbing type of dread
The difference between Dan acting as an emergency caller in that one radio host game he played a while back, and an emergency caller in this game is wildly different XD
How is this D&D alternate reality with funny little goblin men more horrifying than any other analog horror game or series ever?! This world would be utter hell compared to a few alternates! Bravo to the devs on this one! Bravo!
What do you mean d&d alternate reality 😭 bruh that's the most baffling thing I've ever heard it's based on various mythos about the fey, what the fuck does that have to do with DND
Look, I called this number about some scratching sounds from my walls, and the guy I spoke with said it was a house fire??? I don't know if this is your idea of a joke, but I seriously... what the fu- AAAGH IT BURNS! SOMEONE PUT IT OUT! *AAAAAAAAAAA-*
Oh my goodness, I've personally followed the devs of this game for quite a while between this and their other games (predominantly We Need to go Deeper), so I couldn't believe it when I saw this video! I'm so glad you've found some of their work; they have such a unique way with their projects!
The reason half the solutions in this game are just “this is your life now, good luck” probably has to do with the fact that you are more or less working FOR the creatures, half these guys could probably be solved with an exterminator or something like iron or garlic
I love that they included the artbook and development process in the game I really enjoy seeing the behind the scenes stuff so its always nice to be able to look at it
Imagine a version of this game but with pokemon because theres a lot of potential shenanigans pokemon can get up to Drifloon: Dangerous when sighted near households with kids. keep your children inside until they drift away Phantump: are the spirits of children who died in the woods. Efforts should be made to reunite them with their families, or feelings of abandonment and resentment will cause them to evolve into more vengeful Trevenants Ditto: takes the form of random objects, other pokemon, or people. Not malicious, but can be very unsettling to look at. Furret: no threat Bidoof: not dangerous to people, but can damage wooden homes Zoroark: can impersonate people. Signs of a zoaroark include limited speech, and disappearing when you try to talk to them
I'm trying to make a game like that! So far I got some more tame ones: Porygon-Z: can inhabit computers and eventually damage their software Shroomish: spores can cause allergies Sliggoo: slime can damage buildings and injure humans and other pokemon; sliggoo must be removed before it can evolve into a goodra Delibird: can steal your food if you're careless Joltik: can leech electricity out of your home Toxel: due to its baby-like appearance and attention-seeking behavior, trainers tend to try "rescuing" it thinking its in danger. These trainers end up poisoned and/or electrocuted Sableye: can and will steal out of your jewelry box and from your gemstone collection Trubbish: leaves trash around your home, leading to disease Litwick: will try to trick you into following it so it can steal your life force Gengar: stalks and steals body heat from people at night, leading to frostbite Vulpix: tends to sneak into barns and burn them down Swirlix: leaves sticky residue that can trap small pets
It's probably black mould
Or a house fire
It's die or die you either die to the black mold or you die to the house fire.
It's a black mild arsonist who loves starting house fires.
one must prevent the spread of black mould, lest one start being compelled to be violently transphobic online
Forgot that Europe exists and thought he misspelled mold.

That looks like the search history of someone about to be turned into a mouse
Unemployment time, mouse boy
Average search history for a responder at this company.
Fucking love the idea of being the only non-fey member of staff buying cast iron objects to stop coworkers nicking their stuff.
Man, don’t you hate it when you stockpile gold to try and summon the closet labyrinth, only to end up with a leprechaun infestation
The closet labyrinth and leprechauns are such underrated entities I forgot they were even in the game
i love that even the "solution" sections slowly reveal the fact that the hsh is 100% a bunch of fae. like, in the descriptions of spirits they prioritise the freedom of the spirits, and in the descriptions of flora-like anomalies seriously encourage ignoring the plant or taking care of it. also they fucking hate mice. Its great
Do you mean flora like?
sorry to nitpick lol just confused me for a moment
@Aaaaaaarrrpirate shit i think i do. thanks!!!
Yeah it's great foreshadowing
The nail in the coffin is the Fae Feast solution being "Someone worked hard to offer you this, it would be rude to ignore it! Eat it c: "
Meaning that you are now bound to the fae and cannot escape an unpredictable and horribly weird fate. Never eat fae food.
i thought they were like, mole people
Can’t believe the house fire was the real villain of the game all along
Maybe the real house fire was the friends we made along the way
I love how universal it is that everyone that plays this game goes into the "Everything is black mold" mindset
Massive mold bias
I remember watching Pyrocynical play this and he had the same mindset except with house fires
Sounds like the black mold is taking effect
The player character realizing they've been moused while the fucking fancy font text saying "You are unemployed" appears is the pinnacle of surrealist humor
This happened to a buddy of mine, actually
@Fishystyxx Let me guess, Eric?
@CoiBoiKoi717 I don't know WHO you are or HOW you got this number, please don't contact me agian
It's just one of those days, ya know
41:15 I fucking love that
I've seen it pointed out in the comments on ManlyBadassHero's video, but it bears repeating.
It is very much on point for the fae to subject their employee to a dangerous, mysterious ritual in the forest only for the reward to be a regular promotion to junior supervisor
"Hey uhh, I was instructed by the police to call this number for some odd reason, I'm not sure why. I have this... thin tall looking man who keeps playing mario kart in my living room.

I don't know what the hell this dude's deal is, he won't leave when I keep telling him to. Who the hell is this guy and how do I deal with him?"
Black Mold
Make him gamble until he runs out of money, when he does he will search other houses for gambling funds. BEWARE: if he starts winning, God help you
I think it might be hallucinations from carbon monoxide poisoning
@shizutm Close. You forgot that his house is on fire, hence why there's so much carbon monoxide.
PLEASE HOLD
Fae is such an incredibly underused concept for horror games, theyre these goofy fickle things but also fucking terrifying. Every fae folklore irl is like "Its the spoon goblin! Every night he'll steal one spoon from you, unless you put out a slice of carrot! But be careful not to let him get 10 spoons! Or he'll shove them down your childs throat in the middle of the night until they choke to death on blood and metal." So much potential for creepy shit there
Right?! I absolutely adore this game. I've long loved everything about the fae, twigged real early that's what the game was dealing with and had a complete blast. It's such a fantastic concept.
If you care you accidentally put a ‘w’ character after ‘horror’.
@Coffee-Catherine thanks
Slimcicle did a video playing this game, and he had a similar view. He said something along the lines of “There’s something so whimsical yet terrifying about the fae, in the not knowing, because you’re playing on their terms and don’t really know the rules.” Which I think kind of hits the nail on the head. Part of the reason they’re scary is that you aren’t playing by your own rules, you’re playing by theirs, and as such you don’t know what the rules are.
It really is just "crazy unpredictable s*** happens" with Fae.
So yeah, exploring how a world would react to all assortments of Fae existing, or coming into existence, could make for some decent horror.
some of the threats are so disturbing... especially the ones that end up just being something like "your son's been sucked into a tv. he's cooked. don't worry though! we can help with the grieving process! :D"
That profile picture could use some help with the grieving process
@1th_to_comment. Giggled
"Your child was consumed by living bush. Have a nice day :D"
Or
"Your son dissapeared and there is a strange tree in his room? Don't worry, that tree is your son now, don't forget to water him periodically. "
"OH that strange being, that's just dorgan the annihilator. He's pretty chill... unless you've been chosen"
The face of someone about to battle in a church with a nailed bat@1th_to_comment.
This game tricks the average gamer into learning about common household problems like mold and termites and I find that hilarious
What’s even funnier is that all the common, real life stuff, is wrong. For instance, the photo of the bed bug is actually a stinkbug. They’re all wrong in some small way which is honestly hilarious to me
@galaxycat9966It wasn’t in this release. It was only a stinkbug on initial release, and was changed after an update.
Like portals!
@q-miiproductions878Yeah, I'm currently dealing with bedbugs at work, and that is 100% a bedbug.
@galaxycat9966 As soon as the caller said they were seeing what looked like coffee grounds, I immediately knew it was roaches. Hooray for lousy apartments...
Caller: I don’t recognize anything about the location I’m in and my family doesn’t resemble people I know
Dan: oh she must be confused
The fun thing is that is also a documented schizophrenic delusion that exists in real life, although I imagine the in-game explanation is something supernatural.
Do we know what the right answer to that call was?
@Rosa-kd2cl neighboor's doorway
@RainySkyes9sounds spooky, I love this game universe lol
@kaleenar963i feel like the game would have both supernatural one and the normal one because itd be more terrifying if it's almost indistinguishable between which it is
I love how this game immediately gets you into the analog horror vibe by hitting you with black mold immediately followed by FUCKING METAMORPHOSIS
31:01 You know, it makes sense that Carol uses "thee" more often the longer you work there, considering it's the less formal form of address.
Oh really? That's actually a cool detail, she just feels more comfortable around you!
"prepare thy body"
analog horror with fae mythology instead of the usual eldrich nonsense is fun. The hotline seems to be run by nature spirits, that’s why they can turn people into woodland critters.
I find it so funny how the call center isn't actually evil, you think they are but they do nothing wrong the entire game, they are genuinely good people AND they give promotions easily, to be honest that's the dream company to work for
This message was brought to ye by the fae
If you get fired they turn you into a mouse
@The_Green_Goober mice don't pay taxes, that's a win win situation
They turn the prank caller into a mouse
@The_Green_Goober I mean in fairness, you only get fired if you get several answers wrong, and each answer you get wrong is a fatality.
If it makes you feel any better, being a mouse is tax-deductible!
@Dr.Shrike to be honest deserved, they only turn people into rats if they do badly or mess with them
Part of the reason the fae are so terrifying, is that entering any engagement with them entails playing a by wholly unique set of rules each time. There’s a general set of rules (don’t tell them your name, don’t eat any food in their realm, etc,), but each individual creature has it’s own special rules for dealing with them. Something that makes them the perfect subject for a game like this, that’s all about identifying threats based on small amounts of information. What you’re essentially given is a grimoire of sorts that you have to comb through to find out how to confront each fae, which is a really cool and terrifying idea
ok but what if someone wanted to date the fae? asking for a friend
@glebglub so true uh my sister also wish to know this
@glebglub exchange names, make sure you got their REAL one, then evaluate that you are now 100% trapped for all eternity with a creature that at MOST thinks of you as a beloved pet equivelant.....some people like that though, so enjoy? and bring cream, honey, all that yummy human food that fae crave alot
In russian folklore the foolproof way to deal with supernatural beings is to swear profusely and curse them out loud. I don't remember the specific, but I always found that kinda funny. Slavic spiritual traditions are either "remember your ancestors's wisdom" or bake your babies with rarely anything in between.
@glebglub Go up to one and ask “I lost my number, can I have yours?” It works more often than you’d think. Good luck if you ever want to break up them though 👍
In my opinion the horrifying part is people not being allowed to know what is going on despite the clearly documented threats
Yeah that's probably the most overtly horrifying part
It seems like an interesting SCP-esque kinda deal. As much as possible, prevent knowledge about such dangers from being known in order to prevent widespread panic. Hobbs seem like they'd be a well-known creature in this universe though, pretty handy, very useful. Just gotta give it some offerings.
@olivergobrrr2935 pros: neat drawers
cons: _Metamorphosis_
No I’m pretty sure the black mold is the scariest part
The DLC gives a pretty good justification for all the creepy shit being hidden.
As someone who has worked in a call centre, I can confirm this is an accurate representation of an average 9-5 office job from the types of customers that call in to being turned into rats if your contract gets terminated all to appease the Black Mold
Or it’s just a house fire…
Alas, Stickmaster500 is truly a jack of all trades
@StickMaster500 it's not 100% accurate, they don't give out promotions as easily and the jobs aren't as stable, the fae aren't gonna fire you at random
LORE
The callers are far too forthcoming with information. Not one of them got offended that they were expected to provide information.
fun fact, in the foto of the false artifact you can see a outline of a child trapped in it
i dont think thats a fun fact, thats disturbing
Inspired by Poltergeist (1982) apparently!! It's really cool how much behind-the-scenes trivia there is for this game
There are two wolves inside of me;
One is actually just a bunch of black mold, the other is actually just a house on fire.
And the third is hallucinations due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
The amount of dread I felt when I got the phone call from the mother about her missing kid, and then realizing that a false artifact matched the description...
the call you get back from her if you send her the wrong information is so horrific as well
@cathackzzWhat does she say?
@APlatypusGod Well, the good news is it sounds like she found her son
...The bad news is it sounds like she found her son
@Ribbon_Road this is not at all ominous and terrifying
Navidson: "Hi, sorry to call, but I just bought a new House and it seems to be bigger on the inside than the outside? And there's a weird corridor....."
RT: "Black Mould.
Excellent reference
Incredible reference good job
House of closet labyrinth, the long awaited sequel.
House of leaves, myhouse.wad, whatever it may be based af
House of mold
8:10 I swear i have not broken into anyones house
We know what you did, Bob.
I agree, Dan's organisation is atrocious
Really, Bob? You're in my house right now, Bob.
man, the voice acting in this game is really good. some of those failed calls are legitimately distressing lol
its so much scarier in the holiday dlc. The va's really put thier whole chest into it
I went to middle school with Nick, the dev of this game! It's so great that his stuff is getting recognized for how good and unique it is. He totally deserves it. For other games he's developed/co-developed, I recommend Doodle Date and We Need to Go Deeper!
I’d like to see Doodle Date on this channel as well.
He made Doodle Date?? That game rocks!
This man helped make We Need To Go Deeper, holy crap he is amazing in both genres
we need to go deeper?? man he makes cool games
Holy cow, he made BOTH of those, AND this??? He's really knocking it out of the park!
Twig Sigmund's photo is just a distorted photo of Ronald Reagan in a cowboy hat, and I think this deserves mentioning
39:33 Dan ran outta "youtube"s
This made me burst out laughing lmao
I absolutely adore this game. An experience born of passion and fun, you can tell everyone involved had a blast working on their part of it.
I genuinely believe this is what games are all about.
It's weird to say, but I love games that feel like games
for real! i enjoy almost all art the most when you can tell that the people that made it actually had fun making it! as a game developer myself, the games that turn out best, are the ones that are made with genuine passion and where the team is allowed to fool around, trying to get laughs from the other developers!
@RTGameControversial take, games have to have lots of microtransactions
@thatguyintherain3168 They should also have many expensive DLCs to get the full experience! Money makes time after all!
Cool fact about thunder peak is that it is a real place in utah called timpinogus cave most if the footage, including the door and cave, is there I've been a bunch of times!
Did u bring ur iron sword?
Oh no, no need for the iron sword. They’re the cave creature :)
is the quiet zone dangerous
Gosh, you're right, I definitely know those mountains what the heck
I thought it looked extremely familiar!
I love the good ending, it's like the opposite of a jumpscare in the best way possible lol
Fun fact about those prank calls they're a reference to a well known prankster called 'Longmont potion castle'. His calls are so funny and full of sound effects and voice changers, they did an amazing job recreating their charm.
At least it wasn't the False Rose Bush, The false artifact is survivable

it’s so fun seeing games go through the ManlyBadassHero-to-RTGame pipeline despite how rarely it happens
Which games have been through this pipeline?
@cardcaptorkirby1851 Subway Midnight, Needy Streamer Overload
I think Slay the Princess was one of them. Happy Game, but I'm not sure when Dan played it...
I wouldn't be surprised if Dan ends up playing Mouthwashing at some point, too.
I feel like Manly is partially the reason quite a few indie horror games get some sense of recognition. (The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, You Found Larry, Endoparasitic, House, Not My Neighbor, Buckshot Roulette, Amanda the Adventurer, etc...)
I'd have to do more research about when Manly played them versus when others picked them up...
He does *main* this genre, after all...
@lunadark8826 Didn't Slay the Princess even have a special thank you to him in their end credits? He does a lot for the genre, it seems ^^
@skele_vision*"A trashcan...it's empty, like my soul"*
I LOVE THIS GAME! I am so glad RT decided to play it! Welcome to the Fae Family, Drift King
This kind of comedic analog horror theme just hits the right spot, I really want to play this game and I wouldnt have heard of it without your videos
As an aside, Carol looks really pretty when she's in her fae form and awarding you the crown.
The actress is TheKurliGirli on RUclips! She does a lot of great cosplay related stuff!
@snowblossom4961 Of course she's a cosplayer!
Imagine if it turned out that Carol was actually just a normal human being, she just likes to use old fashioned English sometimes.
God don’t you hate it when you realize it’s time for metamorphosis?
I love that games have gotten to a point where weird creative people can make something this niche and get it out there without the need for some big shot publisher to look at it and say "Hmmm.... maybe if it had loot boxes we could sell it..."
Like... honestly some of the most creative shit. Love it.
*Daniel won’t be on the end of the phone if they’re in a car accident. The Drift King will NEVER be overpassed…*

@morgang.5734 no, he has an english degree. I don't know why he said doctorate
Alternative solution: Bring in his natural enemy: 🅱️in 🅱️enrose
@O-cartoOther varient: Mementos Daneshiro: Just *one* more Mementos run-
I somehow thought he’d already played this.
Were you thinking of slimesicle’s play through?
Same! It seemed like a very popular game a few months back so I assumed…
me too, cant find it tho (edit: it was Slimeciccle not RT)
Yea I feel like he did but thinking about it how, I feel like that was markiplier who I saw play it, maybe?
Bro same
29:45 when i saw this clip I recognized the location, this is the timpanogos cave in Utah, I've been here, in some cases you do have to remove your shoes because of White Nose Syndrome, the door also does legitimately look like that, didn't bring a sword with me when I went which was a big mistake as I had no means of defending myself against The Cave Creature
White Nose Syndrome sounds like a cryptid related illness
Im glad someone else noticed! First the fence looked really familiar, and then once I saw the door, I knew it was Timpanogos Cave. I wonder if the devs are from Utah.
Well they did say in the BTS art book that they worked at Evermore Park, which was in Utah, so it seems likely they live close by!
@synonym1196 makes sense, Evermore does give off similar vibes to this game, pretty cool place irl
Im gkad someone else noticed it too i loved that hike when i went there
This is a unique take on the horror genre. Fae horror is pretty wild but man there's a lot of potential here
It is astounding how nearly every major youtuber who has played this game makes the gag about black mold being the infallible answer to any situation. It's like a hivemind or something- Great vid!
this games should have a black mold dlc that costs $100
this games should have a black mold dlc that costs $100
@ real.
youtubers are all juat blackmould
So it’s just a bunch of fey on a really severe acid trip.
the fey are made of acid
@smallkidneyjoe4046
No, black mold
Daniel playing one of my favorite guess what kind of eldritch entity is bothering your caller games?! Hell yes!
Are their any other games in this genre? This is great and I want to see more.
@londonpollard365uhhh isn't there a door guard game kinda like it?
there'd a DLC for it that's like a little mini sequel!
@skogkatt3392 damn really?
@archivist_13 iirc its christmas themed, so just in time to find out
The household hazard meeting laughing at the Irishman mistaking them for a house fire.
Being in chat this stream was great because after we got told off for backseating (which fair, we messed up, sorry Dan) chat immediately decided that EVERY. SINGLE. ISSUE. Was a housefire. The only thing chat said for the rest of the stream was “Housefire!” “Black mold!” And “THE DOG D:”
it's very fun how the callcenter tries to help and everyone that got wrong information is extremely angry instead of saying "didnt work, what else can i do?"
everyone who works in a call center could probably confirm that people are exactly like that
I worked at a call center during the covid lockdown 6 years ago (OH JESUS) and yes in fact they did call to say we did not help them with their legal issues and other things we legally couldn't help with.
I once had a guy call to say he wanted to commit an act of terrorism on me so that was cool for my 19 y/o brain to experience
@bigooble oh gods
that sounds... fun
From what I could get of the Latin they were singing “Reginae raccione insecula contoura” which I believe is something like “the queens eternal account of contours”
Edit: might be veraccione, so truthful eternal contours
You can tell whoever made this game worked at a call center because this got entirely too close to my irl job for comfort. Like "had to leave the video at 14:41 because of flashbacks" too close for comfort.
No note taking and infinite amounts of hold time tho.
Seems worth the risk of being turned into a rat
i actually love this game a lot, it's silly and goofy at times, but can also be unsettling, and you can tell a lot of love went into it
I like your Amicus profile pic :)
@thegreydragonangel2836 ayy an Amicus knower, thanks :)
amicus
@okiyomi256 two people knowing amicus in a single comment is my new record
Amicus woohoo!
I like that in this universe, the punishment for having too much stuff is getting House of Leaves'd.
oh lol that's me at 16:17 , thanks for streaming this game! had a blast watching. i'm sure whiskers' owner is fine and it was just black mould.
this seems like it's set in the Welcome to Nightvale universe
Nah it's just France
The biggest fear of unemployment:
Being MOUSED.
the call is coming from inside the house
The voice actors are absolutely WILD in this, some are SO intense and really sell it
it's refreshing to see fairies used for horror games like this, they've got so much potential for that ridiculous yet extremely disturbing type of dread
The mold got them
0:19 when you feel like this, can’t nobody tell you shit
Let's go! RTgame is killing again!
(This time unintentionally)
Well except that one guy.
The difference between Dan acting as an emergency caller in that one radio host game he played a while back, and an emergency caller in this game is wildly different XD
Ohhh did he? Which game?
@ killer frequency!
Imagine how all of osha's guidelines were written, now think about how these guidelines were written.
I love how he's playing what is essentially a puzzle game that's an analog horror too.
How is this D&D alternate reality with funny little goblin men more horrifying than any other analog horror game or series ever?! This world would be utter hell compared to a few alternates!
Bravo to the devs on this one! Bravo!
What do you mean d&d alternate reality 😭 bruh that's the most baffling thing I've ever heard it's based on various mythos about the fey, what the fuck does that have to do with DND
Look, I called this number about some scratching sounds from my walls, and the guy I spoke with said it was a house fire??? I don't know if this is your idea of a joke, but I seriously... what the fu- AAAGH IT BURNS! SOMEONE PUT IT OUT! *AAAAAAAAAAA-*
“Brother! Please fetch a Cold Frosty, Brother!” 🐖 32:06
The black mold calls Daniel
My first thought was “Is mike a Hobb? I think he’s a Hobb.”
this game is like the perfect combo of horrifying, funny, and mundane
I just realized that all the callers could be thought of as people giving you riddles to come up with an answer for it
Daniel seems like the type of guy to offer life advice to their caller before any actual solutions
Why is it always "Bob from accounting"
I've heard those exact same words dozens of times now.
Oh my goodness, I've personally followed the devs of this game for quite a while between this and their other games (predominantly We Need to go Deeper), so I couldn't believe it when I saw this video! I'm so glad you've found some of their work; they have such a unique way with their projects!
We all love the black mold. Everything was made by the mold. The mold is our lord. The mold is us. We are the mold.
As an unemployed person, i can confirm i love cheese.
Some of these are horrifying. The way you can't actually help some of them?? The visceral fear in some of the call-backs??
Sooo this is basically the helpline at Control’s Oldest House.
The reason half the solutions in this game are just “this is your life now, good luck” probably has to do with the fact that you are more or less working FOR the creatures, half these guys could probably be solved with an exterminator or something like iron or garlic
I have no idea if the devs were directly inspired, but this game concept feels like it's ripped straight from the mind of Terry Pratchet and Discworld
As much as how cool magic is, having to deal with it sucks more than having it in the first place.
24:17 House of Leaves reference for sure!
I had to look away from the picture of the bug more than the horror demons
This is simply the world or SCP broken masquerade, I love it.
I love that they included the artbook and development process in the game
I really enjoy seeing the behind the scenes stuff so its always nice to be able to look at it
You've been fired making you...unemployed! Oh, and you've also been transformed into a mouse but that's not important.
How it feels to live in analog horror the game: Technical support edition.
“Wait it’s always been black mold?”
“Always has been”
*shoots*
It's a running joke where every RUclipsr or Streamer who plays this game becomes obsessed with Black Mould
Oh my god I’m so happy you got the Jeremy one right I didn’t want to hear the gut wrenching screaming
I think it’s black mold.
"there's no way a dog could dig through that!" proceeds to pick termites
normal day at the magnus archives
How dare you! The institute is far more serious than this garba- Hello Jon, apologies for the deception
Given the really old personal computers, seems like something the OIAR would handle.
more protocol than archives
Alice would absolutely be the type to joke "it's just black mold"
@ Meanwhile Sam immediately jumps to the supernatural occurrences, even if it’s something as simple as frozen pipes
saw maple county scroll by on that missing persons alert and immediately knew Dan was in for a real good time
Imagine a version of this game but with pokemon because theres a lot of potential shenanigans pokemon can get up to
Drifloon: Dangerous when sighted near households with kids. keep your children inside until they drift away
Phantump: are the spirits of children who died in the woods. Efforts should be made to reunite them with their families, or feelings of abandonment and resentment will cause them to evolve into more vengeful Trevenants
Ditto: takes the form of random objects, other pokemon, or people. Not malicious, but can be very unsettling to look at.
Furret: no threat
Bidoof: not dangerous to people, but can damage wooden homes
Zoroark: can impersonate people. Signs of a zoaroark include limited speech, and disappearing when you try to talk to them
I'm trying to make a game like that! So far I got some more tame ones:
Porygon-Z: can inhabit computers and eventually damage their software
Shroomish: spores can cause allergies
Sliggoo: slime can damage buildings and injure humans and other pokemon; sliggoo must be removed before it can evolve into a goodra
Delibird: can steal your food if you're careless
Joltik: can leech electricity out of your home
Toxel: due to its baby-like appearance and attention-seeking behavior, trainers tend to try "rescuing" it thinking its in danger. These trainers end up poisoned and/or electrocuted
Sableye: can and will steal out of your jewelry box and from your gemstone collection
Trubbish: leaves trash around your home, leading to disease
Litwick: will try to trick you into following it so it can steal your life force
Gengar: stalks and steals body heat from people at night, leading to frostbite
Vulpix: tends to sneak into barns and burn them down
Swirlix: leaves sticky residue that can trap small pets
All hail the New Junior Supervisor!
You can tell this game was made out of love and it is just delightful
