Welcome to the I'm Back From PAX West Club how I'm Back From PAX West are ya? *Note* game is a spinoff of another game I played called How Fish Is Made : ruclips.net/video/qG1YcPNYwpI/видео.html
this is definitely just curly's last thoughts before the cryo pod completely froze him, just guilt and "what if's" that he should've just done serious measures or if he never insisted jimmy in the first place. Curly knew what Jimmy did but didn't take full responsibility to stop a butterfly effect that lead to the inevitable doom of the crew. All because he cared for someone who didn't deserve it.
I think he did good. He is human so he couldnt have knowed that and for jimmy jimmy isn't a evil character just a human who tried to be like curly the best one here and i loved seeing him try and qlowly with a butterfly effect making the opposite
I agree but his flaw wasn’t caring for Jimmy his flaw was not focusing on the issues within this ship like refusing to let Anya have something to protect herself or letting Jimmy into the cockpit as he was mentally unstable. It supposed to tie into the theme of responsiblity in the game :)
@@ranos1551 Ain't no way you said this and say Jimmy wasn't evil after that he did. I love how Jimmy is written and how the game makes it know you're suppose to hate him and how Jimmy is irredeemable. He's written really well and love that. Now if he were real? Absolutely horrible waste of air, he is.
Watching Mouthwashing and then going backwards to watch How Fish Is Made and then this is. Insane. I absolutely will be wishlisting mouthwashing on steam
The other fish we talk to kinda remind me of the other characters in Mouthwashing - maybe Jimmy at the beginning, Swansea with the cake, and Anya with the mouthwash.
I think maybe its more fitting that the one with moutwash is Daisuke and the one dangling is Anya. The one with mouthwash said he doesn't want the stuff anymore and wants guidance, like when Daisuke has had enough of drinking mouthwash and wants Swansea's guidance, while the one dangling has no dialogue and has like a smaller fish connected to it almost like an umbilical cord, maybe representing the baby, and no dialogue just as how she's worthless in Jimmy's pov - and Jimmy only cares about the baby's existence more than Anya
@ipis_ The fish he consumed on the line was actually a baby fish, which could imply that the big fish on the line was Anya and the small fish was her baby.
Its really interesting coming back to this game and the also learning that some of Curly's dialogue here is actually canon. Giving much more insight to Curly's thoughts.
Huh, Curly is likely talking about Jimmy at 15:24. He seems to regret dragging Jimmy into his job, like he understands the resentment Jimmy would end up feeling against him? I do like the belief that this dlc is Curly left alone with his thoughts after the ship crash, it adds a neat extra bit to the full game. What an interesting character…
interesting coming back to this after finishing up Mouthwashing and reading up on some of the dialogue. I wonder how much of this is a reflection of the other characters and/or inner thoughts of Curly as he's lying there with nothing but his mind to keep him company
I came here back after Mouthwash. Damn I completely forgot there was a promo game. That might be a bit of a stretch, but the fish kinda remind me of the Pony Express crew, perhaps from Curly's perspective himself. The first fish kinda sounds related to Jimmy, that whole talk could easily correlate with the false brotherhood/"I need your power, you need me" dynamics that end up happening between Jummy and Curly. The cake fish reminds me very much of Swansea, he's big, grumpy, tough and darkly witty, and the cake could possibly be allegory for alcohol. The mouthwash fish could be both Anya and Daisuke, the "lowest rank" of the crew, Anya is distressed from carrying a huge emotional burden caused by the series of disasters on board, and Daisuke is lost due to his inability to have career ambitions. That's just my theory.
Let's not forget the fact that Swansea liked the pony express cake! Sure a small detail but I feel like big, grumpy fish, talking about "not touching" something AND eating a cake (which I think might have been the exact same as in mouthwashing) is very much implied to be Swansea The "not touching" his cake reminded me a lot of his relationship with Daisuke, not allowing or not wanting him to touch stuff and being overall body with him for his own good *Edit Also the mouthwash fish gives me huge Daisuke vibes, feeling lost and confused, considering the fact daisuke was just as lost (in his life, having no idea what to do) as the fish. And being covered in mouthwash in wich the poor guy was drowning his worries and himself in AND later got his wounds "fixed" with the same mouthwash Obviously the fish could be Anya or both of them, but daisuke fits the fish more in my opinion
@@VincentPerhaps The mouthwash fish is definitely more ambiguous. The dialogue talking about how they want the two simple choices back definitely sounds like it relates to how Daisuke didn't know what to do with his future. I think he mentioned college at some point during Mouthwashing, but in the end he let his Mom make the decision for him. The fact that the fish is covered in mouthwash and how it says it doesn't drink the "funny water" anymore also points towards Daisuke. He's the only character we see drinking mouthwash besides Swansea, and he gets covered in it right before he dies as a "disinfectant". However, the way the fish talks really reminds me of Anya. The stuttering and almost crying makes me think of how scared she was to make decisions, and also her lack of conviction in the game. The only things she followed through on were related to her death, with her hiding the gun as a precaution against Jimmy and then her deciding to OD. It seems like that when Anya first locked the door to medical, she had been planning to end Curly as well, but she didn't go through with it. I don't know, there's a lot to unpack here.
I feel like the mouthwashing one is Daisuke? Because the part at 9:56 before manly drops down you can hear something like a baby crying. And I think that alludes to Anya more. Although I still don't know what's happening in the scene. Edit: watched someone else's play thru and it's very clear that this is Anya. The thing that is consumed (hard to tell here) but it's a tiny tiny fish. Which is connected to the big fish. It's Anya bro that's messed up 😭
!!!spoiler I just realized the noise we hear is curlys screams, and the white goo is probably the stuff from the crash and representation of Jimmy. How it tries to consume curly and constantly take. It’s greedy.
That little creature in the fish's mouth is a parasite that replace the fish's tongue and almost doing the same work of a tongue, and as curly said: "someone else's words in my mouth" (just a little fun fact)
"i tried, i really did. we're defined by our past, but not slaves to it" guys.... our.... our worst moments don't make us monsters guys... i have to believe that our worst moments don't make us monsters...
The fact that I am so entertained watching Manly play as a fish stuck in a sticky white stuff rolling around as a katamari while I am eating meatballs is just so funny. What a wild ride.
Ah yes, I enjoy how manly doesnt play the same popular games over and over again and plays these smaller games that I've never heard of before and each video is always very interesting and never boring. Keep it up Manly!
IKR? It reminds me of old Indie "let's play" RUclips, but Manly's found his niche in the obscure indie genre, whereas most RUclipsrs start playing more and more common/trending stuff the more popular they get. I'm glad there are people still doing these unknown indie games. It's like a metaverse of unrestrained weirdness and creativity that feels more vast than the narrow scope of common denominators that make mainstream games popular. Like the quaint adventure of going garage sale shopping, vs the monotonous consumerism of shopping at Walmart.
Despite the fact that I know you were likely being serious, it came off as very sarcastic, but that’s probably just how I ended up reading it in my mind 😂
@@Dr.Bright17honestly, same 🙈 Edit: After re-read the original comment I think the 'Ah yes' on the very beginning is what give the comment sarcastic vibe
Watched this for the first time after Mouthwashing, love the dialogue but also getting to see How Fish Is Made again was lovely. I have a feeling that whenever the developer creates something new, they might use How Fish Is Made as a method of teasing the new game coming. Just food for thought!
I'm so glad this developer is making a longer game. The two fish games have been so intriguing to watch and figure out. Also, I would never miss a game where a faceless man possibly gets his eye replaced with multiple fish, fish pieces, and mouthwash! Can't wait to watch you play this game Manly!!❤
God you just know based on the noises the characters make that they were inspired by chibi robo. Trying your best to fix something so huge in your world but being much too small to make a dent. It’s really incredible I love it
I didn't expect DLC for this title, especially DLC that is effectively a teaser for their next game. Well, it helps that Mouthwashing looks so interesting.
Me immediately suffering Evangelion flashbacks because of the bandaged face while Manly happily sings the intro music to Katamari Damacy perfectly sums up how the day has gone for me Edit: Y’all, I was saying this to be funny, not for pity, but ty for the condolences/congratulatory messages?
I feel like this might be a metaphor for corporate life, kinda like fishes trying get bigger by climbing the corporate ladder, getting people on your side (or forcing them to work for you, because you're bigger, even to someone who aspired to be the big fish instead)... Or maybe it's about corporations getting bigger (getting people to work there, and eventually absorbing other corporations when you get big enough), or something. I think the base game is also a commentary on society in a way? Or reminiscent of that anyway. Though for the guy in the bandages... I assume he's talking about doing some sort of crime or something illegal. "A few trips", "easy money". Perhaps running a scam or scheme of sorts... but find themselves unable to quit.
I feel like it calls out all those situations and more. The fish from the start encourages you quite creepily - obsession. The mouthwash fish seems almost drunk - alcoholism. The big fish won't stop eating cake - gluttony. Even the gameplay calls out Katamari Damacy, because no matter how big the Katamari gets, there's usually something you can't quite pick up. It all comes back to the title. People always say change can wait just one more day, no matter the scale. When people re-schedule, eat a chip, or smoke a cigarette, there's always the last one - and then another.
Not sure about the base game, but for the bandaged dude I got the impression he was talking about the Army? Especially after the joke about the losing limbs and hearing part (10:40) , his bandaged face and missing limbs also helping contribute to that (16:45). The part at (15:22) really nailed the coffin though, talking about convincing another person to join or rather enlist using words somebody else used on him, a recruiter probably, as well as the "trips" being deployments and it being "easy money" which is something I've actually heard people say about the army.
I am very delusional and I want to think that everything we have seen in just Curly’s deep nightmare about “this is what happens if I do not stop Jimmy/If I do not make Jimmy pay” and nothing, they are all happy and Jimmy under jail ( despite me loving Jimmy as a villain I want him behind steel bars )
Perhaps... they could have a mouthwashing multiverse with alternate timelines. Perhaps in a later game in a timeline where the tulpar crashed a war happens (game 1) in a timeline where everyone's happy and safe we'll have an animal crossing game in mouthwashingverse (game 2)
Didn't expect this game to go the popular "katamari horror fish route" we all know and love. This game is a weird grotesque. "Sticky white stuff that absorbs fish meat." Manly got quite the sense of humor even if the man may or may not be capable of laughing, haha.
I never knew about this and i watched mouthwashing before this, i think i stepped over a hole😭 THE CAKE??? WITH MEAT INNIT??? That gives a whole new meaning to the cake in mouthwash, foreshadowing 0 hours before judgement😭 WHY IS THERE MOUTHWASH???😭😭😭
I don't know how to put it in words but it feels like the game is critiquing work culture. The first fish reminds me of getting hired on with a group, some kind of comradery. The fat fish is clearly upset despite being the bigger fish you get to one up them disrupting an implied hierarchy of might= right. The burned man talks about just 'one more job'. Definitely something going on lol
A game I didn't expect to come back! But nice! Boy I'm glad I'm not eating right now... Cumamari... Edit: This looks incredibly promising! I hope to see Mouthwashing here soon ^^
The last time I went fishing, was in 2019. I went with some family to a lake and stayed in a cabin. The fish I caught was 27 inches and it was a Northern something. It wasn’t very happy at being caught obviously. Put up quite a fight and was flapping all over the place. When one of the dock boys came out to get the fish, it actually slapped the guy in the face with its tail. He was like, “You’re done, fish!” Then, he got the axe and chopped its head off. I also remember finding a bunch of toads stuck in the filters in a pool. Tried getting them out, but they kept hopping back in. Many died that day, I think. Oh, and then I saved a fat bee. I think it might’ve actually been a queen bee. It was in the pool, drowning. I had one of those noodle floaties and scooped the bee up with it and gave it a ride to the side of the pool and set it down gently on the edge. Then, I sat and watched over it to see if it would survive. We just sat there, staring at each other for a long time. And then she eventually flew off. I was like, “You better tell your bee friends not to come after me!” Saw a few bees later that day when I went fishing and the bees left me alone.
*stares at title* Ah, yes. We finally have a new eldritch horror h-game. Yep. ...Gotta be honest here, wasn't actually expecting this particular game to get a continuation/more content/w/e. Definitely felt like one of the weirder horror titles semi-recently and those usually are entirely one-offs due to being just a really weird single idea someone had. Not complaining, just surprised.
!!!spoiler for mouthwashing I think the fish who drinks mouth wash was a representation of Daisuke’s regret and his mother forcing him to go on the ship
I saw there were some gameplay videos of this game by other youtubers I watch, but I held back because I wanted the ManlyBadassHero experience for this one.
"katamari" type gameplay is specifically PATENTED (although I do not remember the specifics of said patents off the top of my head; therefore, this game may be completely legal based on which country the devs operate from). it's gross how anticompetitive patenting an entire gameplay genre is, so it's always a treat to see something new in the category.
2:07 do you guys think that this could be a baby? Like its weirdly pink and is shaped lumpy, def not a normal fish Edit: like its a worm, or a parasite. Do you guys think that its because of what J*mmy did?? How it could be seen as a parasite? (Nm i guess its just intestines, but still a thought) 3:19 better look at the weird blob
Hey, great video Manly! Keep up the good work! Also, I have a game suggestion for you, it's called "Pumpkin Panic", I found very cool and I think you try it out
Watch one demo now I'm in for the long haul. Besides the fish ball monstrosity is almost akin to my own hearing ability now. Also that hearing loss joke totally triggered me lmao and made me laugh.
_Stuck in the goo with you_ ♫ ♩ ♬ Lol it was like a fish Katamari Damacy. The game continues with great creativity. I just wanted a musical number! Look forward to their new game.

How long ago was Mouthwashing? I thought it had been just a month ago. Was there a demo?

16:39 You can see Daisuke (I think? Pretty sure) chilling in the living room-area
Oh yeah! That's Daisuke alright!
1:09
Just my save to go back
I came here back after Mouthwash. Damn I completely forgot there was a promo game. That might be a bit of a stretch, but the fish kinda remind me of the Pony Express crew, perhaps from Curly's perspective himself.

there's a scene in Evangelion where everyone says Congratulations to Shinji. So it's not actually for you.

To me it was a allegory to addiction, due to the talk of the bandaged man about promises and regret.
Not sure about the base game, but for the bandaged dude I got the impression he was talking about the Army? Especially after the joke about the losing limbs and hearing part (10:40) , his bandaged face and missing limbs also helping contribute to that (16:45).

weirdly the whole thing reminded me of MLM schemes
It might actually be about cults or collectivism. The base game was about existential dread and death after all.
Im gonna be sad if there isnt something as ridiculous as the tongue eating parasite song and dance routine from the original game
I am very delusional and I want to think that everything we have seen in just Curly’s deep nightmare about “this is what happens if I do not stop Jimmy/If I do not make Jimmy pay” and nothing, they are all happy and Jimmy under jail ( despite me loving Jimmy as a villain I want him behind steel bars )

fun fact about the tongue eating louse! only the females sit in that spot. that is, in fact, a girlboss :)
watching this again after i saw your Mouthwashing video. i really like curly
I immediately thought “Katamari Damacy” when I saw the way the fish-ball rolled. I did NOT expect it to be ACTUAL “weird fish Katamari Damacy” 😂
It’s always a good day when you find yourself rolling around in mysterious white sticky stuff
Fish rolls worst katamari ever, asked to leave earth.

You know a game is Really weird when it's "Weird Katamari Damacy". Like games don't get much weirder than that one
OH MY GOD I JUST NOTICED THIS WAS A YEAR AGO!! This is so cool
i love how people just k n o w that manly is playing and break the fourth wall LMAO
Seeing the protagonist roll around like that makes me want to brush my teeth for some reason.
Brush your teeth
wash your mouth
maybe even wash your mouth
beush yr teet h
Guess you need some mouthwashing
Returned from mouthwash
The "ominous writing" is on point with these devs
One of the best short form concepts I've seen in awhile. "It's a very unique situation," is an understatement.
katamari dlc lookin fresh
actually edit: i love how the music builds up as you gather more parts
I never knew about this and i watched mouthwashing before this, i think i stepped over a hole😭
THE CAKE??? WITH MEAT INNIT??? That gives a whole new meaning to the cake in mouthwash, foreshadowing 0 hours before judgement😭
WHY IS THERE MOUTHWASH???😭😭😭
Reject fishdom, become cauliflower
I don't know how to put it in words but it feels like the game is critiquing work culture. The first fish reminds me of getting hired on with a group, some kind of comradery. The fat fish is clearly upset despite being the bigger fish you get to one up them disrupting an implied hierarchy of might= right. The burned man talks about just 'one more job'.
Definitely something going on lol
I mean Mouthwashing was also a critique on toxic work culture and companies that don't give a shit about their workers.
Sure do love fish horrors beyond my comprehension 2.0
CURLY?!?!?! 6:16
A game I didn't expect to come back! But nice!
Boy I'm glad I'm not eating right now...
Cumamari...
Edit: This looks incredibly promising! I hope to see Mouthwashing here soon ^^
Eating cookies n cream ice cream while watching this was fine until I read your comment 💀💀
@@theclown6217 You're welcome :)
“Cumamari” IM CRYING 😭
I was eating but with this it felt better
The last time I went fishing, was in 2019. I went with some family to a lake and stayed in a cabin. The fish I caught was 27 inches and it was a Northern something. It wasn’t very happy at being caught obviously. Put up quite a fight and was flapping all over the place. When one of the dock boys came out to get the fish, it actually slapped the guy in the face with its tail. He was like, “You’re done, fish!” Then, he got the axe and chopped its head off.
I also remember finding a bunch of toads stuck in the filters in a pool. Tried getting them out, but they kept hopping back in. Many died that day, I think. Oh, and then I saved a fat bee. I think it might’ve actually been a queen bee. It was in the pool, drowning. I had one of those noodle floaties and scooped the bee up with it and gave it a ride to the side of the pool and set it down gently on the edge. Then, I sat and watched over it to see if it would survive. We just sat there, staring at each other for a long time. And then she eventually flew off. I was like, “You better tell your bee friends not to come after me!”
Saw a few bees later that day when I went fishing and the bees left me alone.
Captain Curly...
Remember when I said that one video was the most suspicious title on the channel? This is like second or third without question.
What’s the first one?
roll around your fish ball katamari and make some of the worst sushi ever
*stares at title*
Ah, yes. We finally have a new eldritch horror h-game. Yep.
...Gotta be honest here, wasn't actually expecting this particular game to get a continuation/more content/w/e. Definitely felt like one of the weirder horror titles semi-recently and those usually are entirely one-offs due to being just a really weird single idea someone had. Not complaining, just surprised.
!!!spoiler for mouthwashing
I think the fish who drinks mouth wash was a representation of Daisuke’s regret and his mother forcing him to go on the ship
whatching this after watching the mouthwashing and then the first how fish are made is so interesting...
I saw there were some gameplay videos of this game by other youtubers I watch, but I held back because I wanted the ManlyBadassHero experience for this one.
Manly is really on a roll with this game
Is that curly from Mouthwashing?!?!
Yep
Yes, its a sorta teaser/promo for their next game.
Love that they used the katamari mechanic. Surprisingly underutilised imo.
"katamari" type gameplay is specifically PATENTED (although I do not remember the specifics of said patents off the top of my head; therefore, this game may be completely legal based on which country the devs operate from). it's gross how anticompetitive patenting an entire gameplay genre is, so it's always a treat to see something new in the category.
This sounds both an allegory to cannibalism and knowing the new game, maybe just unsatisfying jobs?
yup if you watch the end, it a mouthwashing prequel
if someone made a compilation of just Manly singing I would love them forever and ever.
I was hoping you'd play this! I love your chill vibe don't stop being you!
I see that Manly has been getting a bit freaky with the titles again💀💀
I recognize that face in the thumbnail! It’s evangelion unit 01 after the fight with zeruel
bro unjokingly I think that is actually referencing bandaged 01…. good eye
Why did I get him playing mouthwashing first, then this?!
the joy i felt when Manly hummed the Katamari theme song 😭✨
That... that first room... i think that....
Oh fuck. Thats the boss room in american mcgee's alice where you fight tweedle dee and dum
Omg
Guessing this is connected to Mouthwashing.
Yeah seems very connected, just watching this to understand the lore better
i loooooved how fish is made so excited to see more from this dev
Ah yes, I love watching sticky white stuff absorbing fish meat, thanks manly.
I didnt expect how fish is made to appear again, i really like this game.
CURLY????
Loved the first video. Sequel didn’t know I’d get so excited!
2:07 do you guys think that this could be a baby? Like its weirdly pink and is shaped lumpy, def not a normal fish
Edit: like its a worm, or a parasite. Do you guys think that its because of what J*mmy did?? How it could be seen as a parasite? (Nm i guess its just intestines, but still a thought)
3:19 better look at the weird blob
I knew as soon as he said kamari damacy he would sing the thing. As all things foretold.
Curly is that you!?
Dude looks like EVA unit 01 after Shinjis first battle in it.
Yeah,this ones gotta be my fav channel,i always lovef these type of games and the pixel ones
Hey, great video Manly! Keep up the good work! Also, I have a game suggestion for you, it's called "Pumpkin Panic", I found very cool and I think you try it out
I half expected a Christmas Story quote at the end there. "A crummy commercial?"
the katamari damacy reference made me very happy :)
Our braincell aligned when you talked about katamari haha
I completely forgot about this damn 1 year already time always passes so quickly with you manly
I’m so happy to see you upload again manly
Watch one demo now I'm in for the long haul. Besides the fish ball monstrosity is almost akin to my own hearing ability now. Also that hearing loss joke totally triggered me lmao and made me laugh.
_Stuck in the goo with you_ ♫ ♩ ♬
Lol it was like a fish Katamari Damacy. The game continues with great creativity. I just wanted a musical number!
Look forward to their new game.
