I'm always happy to see Harry doing his research instead of just guessing. Other explaining-style youtubers see the poster written in Japanese and go "We don't know what it says so who knows what this is for!", or they encounter words like Ubume and pronounce it the English way instead of taking two seconds to find out how to pronounce it correctly.
Thank you, Harry
he's still not pronouncing Ubume or Erena correctly. He's saying Ubumay instead of u-bu-me, and Erena as Erayna instead of e-re-na.
@@GameFuMaster The pronunciation isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than "yoo-boom" or "a-boo-mee", which are just two ways I've heard other English speakers pronounce it.
@@GameFuMaster well, I’m not Japanese, so I’m not surprised I’d get the pronunciation wrong.
@@GamingHarryYT maybe it would be good to run names through a translator if possible? Since you already put so much effort into the script and video recordings. May as well go for the 100% completion rather than 95% :D
@Bob no u
you have no idea how happy i was when the sweet potato scene appear 😂 when i was a kid, i would always sit on balcony at autumn season waiting for the sweet potato man pass by ❤ it’s a delicacy (for me) and it’s sad how compare to before, there’s barely any more cart on street nowdays 😢
as for theories, it’s common(?) in many lore when a curse is broken or lift up, those who are involved in it would lost their memories about the situation, other people who’s involved or the entire thing
my grandma said people’s memory are the strongest thing of all so the more we remember the more it is alive (whatever it is) and the more we forget, the more it will disappear
i hope this make sense 😖💦 i’m not good explaining in english 🙏🏻
I think you're being pretty clear.
Your English is also pretty darn good! Sometimes I see people - whose ONLY language is English - leave comments with spelling *so* bad, or grammar *so* confusing, that I can't understand what they're saying at all! So you shouldn't worry at all. You are perfectly capable! 👍
*Homework for anyone still confused, anyway:* The game _Fatal Frame III: The Tormented_ and the whole _Corpse Party_ series both use these ideas HEAVILY in their respective plots, and go into more detail on the concept while still remaining concise. They also recently released the best/most up-to-date version of the first _Corpse Party_ game on Steam (not the first one ever, but the remake that essentially "replaced" it in a way - while also leaving room for the very first version of the story to still technically be canon). FF3 might be harder (and more expensive) to get, so I recommend either watching a Let's Play/stream/in-depth video on the game instead, or emulating it... Realistically speaking. Unless you have extra dough to throw around and you're not too insanely busy making that dough to be able to play when the game (and possibly console) shows up at your door, I guess. 🤷
Japanese horror just hits differently and I’m all for it
I know creepy af most of them are
It's a shame Ghostwire:Tokyo wasn't as creepy as it could've been. Prime example of what happens when Japanese developers try to copy Western developers in order to appeal to the worldwide market instead of understanding that international markets enjoy Japanese developers when they do what they're good at
@@champ1159 yeah it had the potential to be creepy but was wasted a bit . kinda interesting game tho
@@dudewithtude4476 Definitely interesting, the story is nice but I would not try to 100% complete it
@@champ1159 yeah me neither lol
Chilla's "Stigmatized property" uses the same concept of being forgotten if you pass from a curse. I'm not sure if this is Japanese folklore.
I don't know about folklore, but being "spirited away" is a common idea. There's Spirited Away the movie, Corpse Party, stuff like that.
@@sadrabbit53 yeah, I didn't think about that!
you have to wonder how these folklore actually exist since you "forget" once the curse is lifted lol
@@GameFuMaster haha good point!
@@GameFuMaster maybe someone who escaped or even destroyed the Yokai or curse told people about their experience.
Another theory is: The entire village is erased from existence just like Maina.
I loved the insanely rapid progression of the story at the start. She literally changes her life completely in the space of 30 seconds…
‘I hate my job and want to move…. Ooh a flyer…job at a bathhouse flat included?’ ..Instantly moving out…
It’s hilarious. Am sure there must be a smoother way they could have done that but this way is good too 😂
it's giving stardew valley tbh 🤣
it’s just unrealistic lmao
It's possible they keep the game relatively short on dialogue/text to make translation easier.
surprisingly it seems to be pretty common here. had some friends who would ditch their office job and work in hotels or farms in a whim. 😂
@@keyqueyne it was more the way the information was structured in the game, it was literally, ‘I hate my life and my job, ooh a flyer for a job with accommodation, I have moved out’. No pauses, or changes to what you could see on the screen, just the text saying something along the lines of the above. It just came across as funny to me.
I love all the analysis channels, and I like this theory I heard form one:
Erena forgetting she had a sister was due, either to the offerings being lost after the curse was lifted, their very presence as living souls forgotten - or that Maina granted her sister one last blessing; to forget she ever existed, so that she would not have to live with the guilt of not being able to save her.
I personally think that when Maina was claimed by the ghost it became as if she never existed (possibly due to the curse or the ghost making it so) which is why no one remembers her.
And maybe that’s also what happened to the other those people there.. no one remembers them
@@itsjustmyopinionbut1671 That would explain why people say it's abandoned despite being pretty modern.
Funnily enough, I was once mistaken for a ghost in a japanese bathouse, and when asked why the little girl thought I was a ghost it was because I'm "incredibly pale" (I'm white with celtic heritage, so I'm the pastiest of the pastiest). Her mum was really apologetic but I actually thought it was kind of sweet, the little girl was more interested than scared of the ghost, so I just went along with it as a friendly ghost. I went back a few days later and half way through my session the little girl came through the door, and when she saw me she was so excited that the ""ghost had come back". This was 5 years ago, and I wonder if the little girl waited for the ghost to come back.
You don’t know how much I appreciated the jump scare warning
You even had a Jumpscare Warning, thank you so much :)
It still got me though
This whole story is so terrifying so many red flags from the start like if this is such a good opportunity with work and free rent why is Maina the only one there?
I had just watched a playthrough of this game and left wanting an explanation of what exactly happened so thank you Harry! You arrived right on time
I wonder how they would have used a curse on Erena to make her think she had a sister, when they appear to have had to have drawn Yoko and Meina to the town the old fashioned way?
I wonder if it could be a case similar to other Japanese Horror games, where dying in a closed space/'cursed' otherworld causes others to forget your existence to some degree? Something similar to what happens in Corpse Party, basically.
In Chilla's "Stigmatized property" the curse involves (SPOILERS)

people who pass in the apartment to be forgotten. It's interesting to see it used twice by the dev.
Jumpscare at 6:57
Don't want yall to nearly have a heart attack like I did
bro literally, I'm not even kidding that literally caught me so off guard I fell off my chair
Yeah all the jumpscares from this developer is simmiliar 😂
And sometimes it scares so much
The sound-effect made it more scary
In 2 days you have become my favourite content creator by far. Your videos are incredibly entertaining and give depth to things I never knew I would be interested in. Your playthroughs are also hilarious whilst also being just as entertaining. Thank you, keep the content coming✌🏻
Thank you.
I love that you have theories section to discuss and share your opinion.
This makes you unique from other “explaining youtubers” who just describe the events brainlessly without putting in effort to come up with at least some speculation.
I also like that you point out that Maina being pulled in the water is being pulled into another realm.
Most people theorized that the protagonist forgetting her sister was most likely one of those supernatural tropes in which the existence of the deceased is wiped away from everyone's memories due to ghostly influences. I seen it used in a Mario Fan Horror game where one of the endings is when Mario doesn't make it out alive, leading to his existence to be erased by all but Luigi
Mario The Music Box right? Man, that game scared the heck out of me when I was younger. I really liked that game.
@@LoksTheGamer yup
Heck yeah, thanks Harry! Your stuff lets me dig deep into indie horror games without playing every single one.
Just wanna say you have an amazing voice for these kind of explained videos
Really appreciate your jumpscare warnings. I could look away and avoid being startled out of my mind. Thanks!
I love when a game as vague as this gets articulate explanation. Thank you ❤
I just found your channel and it has been such a comfort to me lately. Thank you for doing these videos
I really loved this analysis, thank you, you really presented all the facts that occurrence during the game very well. Well done!
Was waiting for this one to come out, you’re on that grind bro! Keep it up!
I really like these explanation videos. Calm and thoroughly explained stories to listen to while doing something else. Great entertainment!
Was waiting for you to explain this one 😊
This is my new favorite channel
I think i realized something.
If eight months had went by after Yoko's death. That means Yoko's son should still be just a baby. But he is somehow a adult down in the underground place.
Also the Monk said "I thought I killed her before she gave birth..."
So I think Yoko died and THEN gave birth to her son. So Yoko's son isn't a human but a ghost. A Sankai. (I am not sure if I am completely correct so forgive and correct me for anything I did wrong)
A Sankai is a ghostly child that didn't get the proper care during birth. And a description is that they are very hairy and sometimes resemble a turtle or a cattle. Yoko's son definitely didn't look human, and he did have a lot of hair (this could've been because the Monk wasn't properly caring for him though)
The son being a Sankai also explains why he is a adult while only being eight months old, because he isn't human and wouldn't age like a normal baby would. But that's just my theory! I hope I didn't get anything wrong!
your theory may be true
I really really enjoy your Lore and Order series. I am a big chicken and I can't play horror games lol. I do like learning the story and the ideas the game highlights.
I really appreciated that your warning about jump scare before its happen. I hate horror game because of the spooky jump scare let me cant sleep in the night. But still want to know some story behind it. Good vid btw 🎉🎉
Thanks for the jumpscare warning, I am faint of heart and love horor and hate jumpscares and Im a scaredy cat who doesnt have the courage to play these games, thank you for making these videos, your channel is a blessing
Harry always makes good horror videos
エレナ=/= アレイナ.
Your theories are right, along with the jp youtubers. One did mention that, the Young man could be the underground Don using his power to warn the sisters.
Just one point left out, the first victim was the woman that stood behind the curtains at the entrance.
great video as always :) would love to watch your playthrough of the game if possible :P
Ah my favorite story teller. You seriously should do audio books
i love this channel
Love chilla art
Thank you for the Jumpscare warninggg
13:50 You had that warning but it still freaked me out!
yaaaay new vid im really addicted
im still curious, who is the man that being held captive...
great work with the explanation of the detailed story,
and the respect that you have, warning the viewers about upcoming jump scares
seriously, im really impress 👍
I like this I like this a lot he's explains the whole story to me this is better than a let's play
Nice explaination
Ight, time to Listen to GH's analysis and chill.
One take I've heard is that Maina may have been real and was Erena's sister, but she erased herself from Erena's memory to spare her the pain of losing her and keep her from coming back to the bath house in the future. The video didn't say it in so many words but, just because the Monk is dead doesn't mean that Yoko isn't still haunting that area.
The other video also guessed that everyone in the village is a ghost, but this video went a step further by saying proof of this could be how NPC's vanish and how their eyes are not visible. Cool stuff.
Imagine moving in to your new apartment and immediately getting insulted by the landlord. Especially after seeing the condition of the room.
I would like to point out that some of the customers that you meet do have visible faces, perhaps they're also people not involved in the curse that were unfortunate enough to find the bathhouse? The police said that the village is supposedly abandoned, but some people still found the bathhouse open anyway.
I'm just speculating here since as you said, the people with their faces hidden could be ghosts. Maybe Maina and Erena weren't the only ones lured in by the ghost village.
I quickly looked through your videos and didn’t see it (hopefully I didn’t miss it), but have you ever played Devotion? I think you’d probably make a great video on it…especially with how it ends.
I was wondering if you can do a Lore explained on a game call Born into Fear. Love you're videos, I am crazy about knowing the storyline to a game. Especially since I could never seem to get all the evidence throughout a game play
I love how janky these games are. It makes it hilarious
Reminds me of The Grudge with the way it shifts perspectives to another character
I've been waiting for this video since I discovered your channel, a week ago. Odd.
tbh if youve ever had a japanese roasted sweet potato straight from the cart you'll understand it would be worth taking 100 quizzes to taste
I was watching a streamer who lived in Japan for a time and the way she described how those sweet potatoes taste made me want one😋
awesomeeee
I'd love to see you do THE Medium!
Very good. Everytime you say bathhouse reminds me of Peter Griffin roadhouse.
Japanese horror stories,movies,games seem more intense and gives everyone a edge on their seats
Watching this at 4 AM let's goo!! 🌝
RUclips switched my all notifications to personalized. So I'm bindging your vids at work now lol should last me for a bit!
Hope you enjoy! 😀
Best wishes
If you haven't already played, I suggest _The Medium_ by Bloober Team, I'm playing right now and it seems a great game with a great atmosphere.
"It's just a monkey."
Are... Monkeys... Common in Japanese bathhouse?
If that bath house is in a rural area then yes
This comment got me lol so much 🤣🤣🤣
Good video as always 👍. Btw have you thought about making a video on Cry of Fear? It's got a really good story and I think you should check it out.
So it's somewhat common curse that's used in media and videos games. People who are taken by spirits and killed in the other realm, their existence is completely erased from the minds of the living.
So in essence no matter how many people knew the missing, they would cease to exist after death.
Which strangely in this case after the curse was ended.
It's a scary story
One can make decisions/ choices at parts of story...
this game is like one of books from fear street or goose bumps kind of..
Hey man can you make a playlist of all your story explained videos so I can play them on loop?
Yeah they are all on a Lore & Order playlist
would love to see a Lore & Order of Red Candle Games: DEVOTION :D
Ok Normaly this Things dont scare me but that little Sauna Scene got me for a sec
What happened to your opening?
Anyway, you're the 1st I've seen to make it this far; I didn't know who that was that was being whipped in the beginning nor that there WAS a Good Ending.
Most of the YT gamers I've subscribed to had forgotten about the start of the game and kept getting the Bad Ending.
When it comes to japAnese horror games, me even my gangsta homies get chills, it just hits different, DIFFERENT!!!
Dame you!!!! Whet that jump-scar. 😢
12:00 Ah yes. The trope of the evil religious man doing things that cause supernatural entities being released into the mortal. I quite enjoyed the way the story used it.
I loved the sweet potato part. I love sweet potatoes they are just the greatest, they are nutritrios, you can prepare them in so many different ways. you can put them into earth and harvest an exponential amount of them, fantastic.
You all should adopt your own sweet potato
Wonder if there's any plans for a special Oct 31 episode
I think the sister forgetting maina is cause maina was killed by a supernatural force so her existence is just gone
"Creepy people and supernatural events happening"
Protagonist: I guess I'll stay I see no danger here
The blacked out out blank faces of the NPCs was the creepiest part of the game for me.
Well well, I said and fell in a well
12:07 The moment I heard the word: "Ubume" I instantly had flashbacks to Nioh 2's Ubume am I the only one?...
I just want to know why the wanted dude looks almost exactly like Tatsuya Ichihashi in the photos taken of him when he was re-arrested in 2009 for the murder of Lindsay Ann Hawker in Tokyo 2007. There's almost no way Chilla's Art is unaware of this story considering the young British teacher was being stalked by Ichihashi if I remember correctly, and he's the guy who performed plastic surgery on himself when he went on the run from the Japanese authorities.
This is a low key Fatal frame except there's no Camera Obscura
Can you do a video on the bridge curse road to salvation.. please
Thank you for the warning sign of Jumpscare 👍🏾, I really don't like Jump scares 🤧
I'd say that Maina was spirited away, and thus, disappeared from the world. There's stories of this in Japanese mythology where if someone is stolen by a yokai, they completely disappears from their life. No one will remember who they were or are.
I regret going in blind here and missing the jumpscare warning 😭
It's like interactive episode of Japanese horror anthology, or terror tales of Tokyo..
3:24 I watched manlybadasshero play this game and at this moment, the girl didnt step past the curtain and didnt show her face. She just stood behind the curtain and left. it was very creepy.
4:55 I’m sorry but I wouldn’t need to use a door there would be a lovely hole in the roof that ied just jumped clean though.
Sweet Potato Power!!!
If a monk tells me not to work there. I wouldve hauled ass
Is it just me, or have the Chilla devs been making Yakuza game references with each installment? So far I've noticed the cultists familiar naming convention and the dancing drunk in Closing Shift. Both instances made me think of Yakuza 0.
Love me some Japanese horror living in Japan
The character models look horrific
Hi Harry ✋
The opening of the game is the same as harvest moon more friends of mineral town girl version. Lol.
I would have eaten that sweet potato 😂
sheeeesh early
The scary part is that this woman in the game obviously doesnt have money and the bathouse rent is free and so she's basically stuck living in this horrifying situation.
Monkey in the shower is the scariest part
