I really appreciate how the customers chat to you, and with each other, even when it's not advancing the story. Makes it feel more real, and gives a sense of being set a larger world.
The part where the group of customers were talking about their orders confusingly and complicated is so real. My family are one of those annoying groups that order but couldn't make up their mind.
When the passenger turned around at 41:39, I realized that he wasn't looking at YOU but at the stalker who was behind you the entire time. That just made it so much creepier.
This doesn't make sense becos the stalker clearly took the car to the cafe and get on the bus when the mc got off. The one reason why MC took the bus is becos the car broke down but when MC reach work the car is there
This game is absolutely wild. As a former Starbucks employee, not only are the procedures in this game generally *accurate* to how Starbucks does things (yes, even down to the throwing away of day-old pastries), but one of my old coworkers actually did end up being stalked by a customer. He would leave her creepy poetry, and refused to believe that she had been the one to call security on him many multiple times over. He would even come and watch her from the other side of the plaza, and ended up getting a job at the strip mall across the street from ours to be close to her. Of course, the real world story ended with her transferring to another store in a different district 45 minutes away, but even so, I think we all wished we could have dropped a brick on that guy's head...
So, this man gets a brick (larger looking than usual, too) dropped on his head from a story up and somehow survives. Then, he somehow manages to not only get himself up, but also hide the detective's body AND clean the snow soaked in his blood so well that the police suspect _nothing._ THEN drag his concussioned-ass all the way back to where she lives and play ring-around-the-rosie, so he can jump her from the closet. Guy is absolutely cracked.
Hence why I find it weird that people call the game "realistic." *Ah yes people definitely live after they get their head bashed in by a brick and proceed to get away with murders right afterward in real life.*
@@aegisScale the realistic part is probably people thinking about their experiences of getting harassed at work. Getting followed after shift and your managers not protecting workers getting stalked.
Remind me of the time when I was helping a friend at their work. Around the closing time a man was trying to enter through the front and asking to be let in because "he left something" and when we said we will find it for him then he started making more excuses like he needed to talk about something in private and that he needs help but won't tell us what. Then we threatened to call the police which made him really aggressive and started shouting then proceeded to run away when the police came. He got caught after few days because apparently he had been stalking my friend for some weeks even before he had tried to enter the shop. The most unsettling part to me is the fact that he has a daughter who is the same age as my friend. Like how can he do this to another person. She is someone's daughter too. How would he feel if his daughter went through similar thing. And God knows what he wanted to do with her
What I noticed: -Everyone is swag walking -Stalking is a serious issue in japan -the investigator died.. I guess it's safe to call him "dead-tective" -Manly played another food themed game..Bakery to a Diner.. Get it? also isn't the stalker the very first person you meet near the apartment?
Well. Yes. Regarding the stalking issues in Japan, you can look up Shiori Ino. And even with the revised laws, stalking cases are usually dismissed by police. Japan may reportedly have an official low criminal rate, but I suspect it's due to many crimes just never being properly filed to begin with. They also revised their stalking laws again in 2021, but statistically it hasn't made a significant reduction in the reported stalking cases.
What's especially scary is that what that detective told her is true. Often times when it comes to stalking cases, whether it be in Japan or anywhere else, police never take them seriously enough because they have to "wait until something happens" but that normally ends up costing the victim their life. So seeing both of those endings play out the way they do is often a very grim reality that a lot of people, especially women, face.
Eh, is it? I mean, being a killer doesn't make you superhuman and it seems like the person who made this game decided to ruin it with typical "protag dies" ending, because the killer SOMEHOW survived his head being hit by a massive brick. It's just stupid and done for the sake of unoriginal ending.
@@Pe6De Games don't usually make sense. And besides, their talking about how real the situation of someone being stalked is. Although yeah, the dude surviving that brick to the skull? No.
@@Pe6De Those kinds of bricks aren't always that heavy. Like, I wouldn't want to get hit by a LECA brick, but they're deceptively light. But that might not have really crossed the gamemaker's mind, and it's just the typical "Ooooh the killer survived after all, spoooopy"
Yes, this is so true! I used to live in Japan in a rural district outside of a large (provincial) city during college. There was a guy who used to follow foreigner girls home shouting obscenities, even chasing them in his car sometimes. One girl tripped while running and ended up with a concussion in the hospital... he wasn't even investigated until he held a girl down and m*sturbated onto her white she screamed, attracting police attention. They said she would have been r*ped if she hadn't been able to run away. Turns out they had known who was doing it the whole time... he just hadn't directly assaulted anyone yet so it would be too much work for them to assemble a case. I don't know the ins and out of Japanese police investigations, or how much of the experience had to do with the race of the victims (all white and brazillian girls, with a Japanese perpetrator), but it definitely was a shocking experience... there were months where I wouldn't go out after dark. 31+ girls encountered the man. Terrifying.
I used to work at a hotel and got put on midnight shift all the time. I used to think I was getting stalked by a patron. But no, the footsteps following me to the car were my shift manager. And he continued to stalk me until I moved. So this game hit home for me; having a stalker is fucking terrifying.
damn, chilla's art games are so good. feel bad about this poor protag tho, like she did everything as well as she could AND STILL... being a part-timer truly doesn't pay off lmao
I've had a couple standout creeps when I worked at a movie theater. One of them truly came off as one you would suspect to lock you up in a basement. He creeped on lots of the girls there and most were underaged. Thankfully management stepped up and he was banned from coming in ever again. The other one was much more personal to me. I was waiting outside my apartment for my Uber to work. He lived in the same building and he came out to leave somwhere himself. He stopped and chatted with me for the whole duration of my wait (which was too long given the circumstance). Started normal and then he started getting weird and mentioning things like, "a good girl like you should come over and cook for me," and, "I know I'm much older than you but hey, maybe I'll get lucky," and so on. Mind you, I wasn't THAT young (like late 20s) but he was DEFINITELY twice my age or more. Anyhow, everytime he'd see me he'd try and chat but I of course would turn him down and move along. Well, one night he comes into my workplace. Wouldn't have been weird since it's a theater, except that he mentioned how he'd never been there before and came out hoping I'd be there. I never told him where I worked. I was as polite as i could be though, keeping chat short and sending him on his way to his movie. Immediately called over a couple coworker friends, one being a manager and the other being security. Told them about the guy while he was still in line for popcorn, gave them a copy of his receipt and movie ticket just in case they needed to call cops on him for any reason. After he was out of sight, they let me go home early so he wouldn't see me at all. Sure enough, he came back out trying to find me and management and security confronted him. I spoke to my roommate about the guy and all that happened and he went to the apartment office about him. Soon enough he wasn't living there anymore. Dunno if he left by his own choice or was evicted but boy was I glad. It sucked trying to dodge him everyday. I'm just extremely grateful that people around me took it seriously. I know that isn't always the case for some. F'ing creeps man...
I'm glad you don't have to deal with that guy anymore. Some people just don't know how to keep to theirselves. I wish everyone took this sort of thing that seriously.
had something similar happen! the day I waved goodbye to my boyfriend who was taking the train back home,an older dude (I’d guess between 45-53)approached me asking where he could buy a ticket&which train he would need to get to a certain stop. I always like to help so I helped him buy one and showed him on a screen which train/how many stops and so on. during the whole conversation I started to slowly feel uneasy because he’d ask me questions. at first I thought he was just doing smalltalk since older people tend to do that a lot where I live but it got increasingly more creepy when he started making comments about my looks,how young I seem and so on. I tried to stay polite so he wouldn’t get angry but when he asked for my phone number to maybe hang out some time and go for drinks I was fully creeped out and ready to run. I hastily told him that I don’t know my number by heart (which wasn’t even a lie at the time) and that my train was about to arrive and that I needed to go. BIG.MISTAKE! Even though I hurried that motherfluffer actually followed me to spot where my specific train would arrive. thankfully he lost sight of me between the people and K managed to hide next to a rather big person. thinking that he’d surely take the same train and search me,I actually skipped that one and kept waiting for the next. unlucky for me he was also still there but for some reason he thought I must have fled to the opposite side where other trains hold. over there se seemingly kept looking for me AND saw me because we were now across from one another so I couldn’t hide behind anyone anymore. He RUSHED down the stairs but to my luck my train showed up at the same time and I saw him outside as I left the station. never saw him again but that sure scared the fuck out of me. worst part is that he told me he’s a teacher ._.
I once worked at subway and my boss expected me to close at 10 at night. I was a minor and would be alone in the store, and I was an hour away from home. So one night as I’m closing a guy comes in uses the bathroom and looks right at me while he leaves. He paces by his car which is in front of the store but far away from the light that I can’t see his expression. He ended up leaving since I called my ride. I got home safe but it was very scary.
58:15 The baby stroller is empty, and the women was sniffing/crying Im guessing that the stalker saw how the women treat you at the start and then he decided to kidnap/kill the baby etc : 0
I wonder if something similar happened to the senpai who disappeared at the later parts of the game He was being rude to and scolding her for being late
I've been stalked by both guys, and girls (yes girls can be stalkers too), and sadly these kinds of people WILL take advantage of benevolence, and empathy. One way to deter them is to just be a dick/bitch, these kinds of people will make you choose between your reputation, and your livelihood, don't let them push you. That's why they almost always go for teens and early 20s (since they still care about what others think), be mean, make it as unpleasant as possible for them to be around you once they refuse "no" as an answer. If they hit you with the "I was just being friendly" you counter with "I have enough friends". If they still persist even after all that, just outright call the cops (but don't say you'll do it, otherwise they'll run away, you want the officers to know what they look like), you'll never see them again once a cop or two know what they look like, and at least one of the vehicles they drive.
@@angeldevildx And those Girl Stalkers are dangerous asf, Since the Justice System and what the World has been today, She will manipulate their Looks and Empathy whatever comes there way, Of course with proof they're Game over lol.
Y’know, one of the final stages of hypothermia is the sensation that you’re overheating, to the point of taking your clothes off. So I’m pretty sure that Mametaro guy is fucking dead now. (Honestly though it would be hilarious if he was the ghost that guy mentioned)
Man, I worked as a barista at a popular downtown cafe and desserts place a couple years back and it was honestly fun to make the drinks… but it could get scary sometimes. This place was open til midnight since it was downtown and a big date spot, which meant a lot of drunk people would come by. Like 95% of the time they were harmless, but I was always scared leaving my shift at 12:30am-1am to go catch my bus. I got harassed so many times. And then one night, 3 dudes were super drunk and just starting BANGING their hands on the cafe’s glass door. I was terrified and ended up crying and hiding behind the counter. I quit after, and worked at a Starbucks in a MUCH safer spot. Anyway, this game just reminded me of that time of my life in a weird way. I did like being a barista though. Making the drinks becomes second nature and is honestly relaxing, as long as customers aren’t too rowdy. Just stay safe and remember that your job is never worth more than your safety and life!
Agreed, a job is never worth your life, I try to explain this to my family, since where I live this is all you will find. Harassment, death threats, screamed at, stalked, recorded. I never got a break here, I can't continue it... I... I don't want to live.
@@dog2169 Please move. There are better places. No job or location is worth your precious life--whether it's someone else _or yourself_ who takes it. Even if what you have to do to get out is pick just yourself and some essentials up, take a train, and start from scratch somewhere else, that's better than the position you're in, it sounds like. Maybe I'm wrong. Please, please, please, talk to God about it. There's always a chance for improvement as long as you have life. I'll be praying for God to lead you to greener pastures. Feel free to talk to me if you'd like to.
Man, chillia's art game always give a peaceful vibe at the start making Player forget that this game is horror game and then boom, jump scare out of nowhere. That woman with a baby almost give me a heart attack.
Manly being weird about the guy who ordered just a plain ol' milk reminded me of the time I just ordered a milk at a starbucks and they fucked up my order
@@manbeman1819 because its a place where people go multiple times a day for food and drink. theyre able to stalk the employees while pretending to be there for the coffee. makes it easier for the creeps
I keep getting heart attacks everytime Manly decides to investigate outdoors after cleaning up, I'd stay inside, close the cafe early and hide under the counter ( ﾟдﾟ)
I wouldn't even think about using the bricks, that was honestly so genius. Although I'm dissatisfied how she didn't continuously throw the bricks, I know people would probably freeze up at the situation but if a person slams themselves at the door holding a machete I'm sure as hell throwing multiple bricks at you.
The cars bolting off like rockets going at light speed and the people occasionally getting their Michael Jackson on while phasing through the planes of reality makes me believe that everyone in this game is a ghost. No one is safe
Also Manly would do amazing in a retail store, he's hating people, groaning when customers are coming in and he curses people out as soon as they are out of earshot
considering how (unfortunately) common it is for customers to stalk workers and approach them during their shifts/when they leave, i'm not too surprised already at some of the stories popping up in the comments, and i'm interested to see more as this video gets older
Yup. As a former Starbucks barista, I had my fair share of creepers and lots of people coming in late at night for coffee. WHO WERE REALLY MESSY. Accurate so far, lmfao.
I used to hang out with a friend till the evening but he lived 2 and a half hours away and the trains only show up every half an hour so I would always go to the mcdonalds next to the station for warmth. since you gotta buy something to stay there I would always get coffee since it was the cheapest thing they had and because I like coffee. some of us just need dome warmth xD
I work at a gas station and honestly the worst part of it is being hit on and when you politely decline, some insist. It makes things super uncomfortable real quick.
Worked barista for three years. The men that come in don't always understand that you're getting paid to smile at them. You get some real strange ppl that's for sure.
@@Ebichuchu They get, but they don't care a lot of men get off by making women fearful and uncomfortable, i just wish that men couldn't interact go out so women could be safe, like women can't even walk alone! Gender equality is my ass.
I was a barista too, and some women were pretty creepy. They think they can touch you anywhere when you smile at them, and give you these... Disgusting stares
Lmaoo, I'm sobbing. Halfway through he starts criticising like "Yeah, the jump scares are pretty neat and the graphics are okay. Maybe the plot could have been developed a bit, honestly."
Oh, that reminds me of when we had an internship day at school. We worked in the storageroom of the local shopping center. The liminal feeling is surreal.
Waiting for Chilla's Art to just make a "Doing Mundane Thing" game, no horror or anything, just going about your daily job. The true subversion of expectations.
That's exactly what I thought lmao. It would be a perfect set-up for an April Fools game. And near the end when you think everything is normal, BAM! Scary jumpscare or something.
I imagine that ONE parking spot every customer uses and obliterates with instant acceleration torque is probably super run down and full of ruts and broken cement while the rest of the lot is pristine and smooth as the week it was poured.
oh boy it's 2am! time to watch this playthrough of a game about a cafe closing shift instead of getting some sleep before my cafe opening shift that starts in three hours!! ☕ edit: finished the video! I only work opening shifts now (which can be just as spooky bc cafes open early and often times it's basically still night out when we arrive), but I've done closing shifts before and the weird and creepy customers in this game are pretty accurate. Except, I find that the customers who hit on the baristas don't just give up like that, lol. No, instead they linger around at the food/drink hand-off plane, forcing you to keep being polite and talking to them even though you're clearly busy and uninterested in them and in the middle of trying to make other people's drinks or get closing tasks done 😬 Like, dude, if I didn't give you my number the first time you asked, I'm *definitely* not gonna give it to you if you're the kind of person who thinks it's okay to keep harassing me for it, smh. Thankfully at starbs we're required to always have at least two employees on the premises (it's for liability reasons, but I'm not sure if this rule applies to all locations), and closers leave the store at the same time, together. If you only see one barista behind the counter, the other is probably in the back taking care of stuff while keeping an ear out for any trouble. My shift supervisors suddenly emerging from the back room have saved me from a lot of creeps over the years lol
I have to assume all of these annoying people never had a job, 'cause I can't understand how can someone bother busy workers and not feel guilty at all.
What makes this scary is imagine how many people are stalked, especially women, daily and don't manage to get away, call the police, relatives believe them, or have any support.
As a former Barista, nobody is mentioning the most realistic part of this simulator (besides the stalkers, very real). Which is getting annoyed at customers bc they keep going on talking amongst themselves like they're in a comedy sketch instead of just ordering their drinks already
This guy really deserves his name. I can’t play any horror game. I’m too much of a chicken. Yet this guy does it like he’s eating cereal. A gross eldritch cereal.
The real horror is working in the food industry and having a customer stalk you. **edit** All I started to scream near the end was “Damnit Manly, pick up the phone so you can call the cops while you escape?!” “Why aren’t you grabbing your phone??” And then I realized, Manly probably never has been in that type of situation before. :’) ** Story time: I had a customer do this once, I talked to him just like any other person and he started showing up around the same day and time- didn’t think anything of it until he started to face me at the corner table and watched me work. It took another employee/friend of mine who showed up on a day off and I hugged him and said my hellos- the stalker customer was there and left promptly after. Never saw him again. Still gives me the creeps.
So creepy. "Oh she already has a male friend she made physical contact with I guess my chances are shot." sometimes even the stalkers seeing you with your partner isn't enough. A lot of guys think that you're open game unless you're married. I hate society
@@pinkpugginz No, the point was to make it look like she had a boyfriend, not... whatever you were imagining. Edit: Also, not a stalker. Stalkers have to, you know, actually stalk - this is just the original poster having social anxiety issues, and the loser that kept sitting there being socially awkward.
It is unfortunate how the two endings were "You tried to run but he was in your car all along!" And "You thought you got away but you were wrong!" Like there was two endings but both of them were just the stalker winning by the looks of it
@@TheBeastBandit I get that irl it doesn't happen, but what's the point in making more than one ending, one slightly obscure one which is apparently the one intended ending, if both of them have the same outcome of the stalker catching you? It just feels like a bait and switch that the game even lets you retry the final bit to make sure to get the second ending... Without it really mattering
Ironically back in college working a crappy customer service call center job for 'a coffee shop company' i received a phone call from a customer complaining that he got kicked out of the store. Kicked out for taking pictures of the female baristas who were incredibly uncomfortable with this dirty old man. He claimed he deleted them right away but just liked to take pictures of the girls. Freaking. Yikes. to that call.
oh lord, I usually don't get freaked out by these games but with this I had chills all the way through. It was so realistic, plus the art style is so creepy, such a good experience
_Perfect horror setup working closing_ I never had to do that. I think the Twin Peaks diner seemed so much easier. Coffee. Pie. Done. :D This game made you feel very vulnerable because of all those windows. They made you so easy to be looked at. Then all the weird ways in - from the roof, the back door, and only the CLOSED sign between you and him. You can tell MBH approaches a stalker like a man would tho. Like the confrontation on the bus , he went right up to the bus to look at the guy and stare him down. The comedic portions of the game were so weird and customers' dialogues were so bizarre that they actually enforced the nervousness instead of reducing it. And I thank MBH again for his editing of the coffee making - it focused the video on the tension. The game was pretty good.
really glad chilla's figured out how to make characters walk at a more normal pace. I enjoy most his games but the incredibly slow walking has always been a problem with me.
I think these games are often playing as "Wagees" for 3 reasons. 1) They're overlooked and not respected. Highly likely to be ignored if they mention an issue, and the first step to abuse is isolation. Their isolation makes them a target that can't acquire help. 2) They're trapped in their situation because they don't have the expendable income to just quit on the spot and go elsewhere. Their desperation makes them a target that can't flee. 3) They don't have any command or power. They can't delegate, change the rules, or have any sort of change over their situation. Their powerlessness makes them a target that can't fight back. I personally like it. One reason because games like that are kinda fun (barista, pizza maker, burger flipper, etc) and two because I feel that fear. The question of "Is this something I should actually flee over or am I just going to look like an idiot to my manager and get fired tomorrow?". I used to work as the sole call-center girl making $3 less than industry standard (that was after 3 raises). I had an "office" but it had no windows and was in the center of the building so if power went out, it was pitch black. Even scarier is my manager refused to allow me to keep a weapon with me and I was left alone at the end of the day at least an hour, and I wasn't allowed to lock my office door or the outer doors front or back. I remember being the only person in the building that evening, I heard someone enter the building but didn't come speak to me, I sat perfectly still and silent as they opened up every door in the office one by one, and then the power went out. I was so scared I ran to the front door but couldn't decide whether I was over-reacting or not, so I stayed there for awhile without actually leaving. One of the worst feelings to not be able to leave but you can but you can't. Power came back and I went to my office and locked the door. At end of shift, I did a quick sweep of the building to lock all the doors and I was GONE. Next day my manager talked to me like I was stupid and shamed me for locking my office door. I quit a few months later because they asked me to run a scam and I refused. Haven't found another office job since in my tiny factory town, so I started my own business instead. Onwards and upwards, boys. Anyway, long story short, this kind of pressure based horror, I completely get it. It's legit. And it will always target the "Wagees". I know this might be obvious. I've just heard manly comment on it a few different times so maybe those in the comments who don't understand, can.
This is so sad and true. One of my previous jobs, we had a shooting and a man died. My coworker, who had been the only person on shift that night, who had to call police and try to help the wounded in the meantime, showed up for work a few days later. I would have expected her to get tf out after that, but she said even though she was terrified, she didn't really have any other option. She needed the money.
We had no security, even the doors that were supposed to lock and let us buzz people in were broken. And of course staff complained but they never bothered to fix them until AFTER the incident
i worked as barista before, i can confirm this is unacurate, you only truly have like 20 seconds to finish a coffee order before the customers short fuse starts blowing up
Manly: "messed with graphic settings, should be easier on your eyes" Game: a literal laser light show on every possible reflective surface and probably some surfaces that aren't meant to be reflective hahaha :D ♪
1:07:32 says 女子中学生が行方不明 (tl. missing middle/junior high school female student), which is likely a reference to another Chilla's Art game Missing Children. Pretty cool.
If this is a game without horror aspects, I'd play for the coffee making mechanics! This, and Happy Humble Burgers Farm, make the 'jobs' feel fun to play, and if they're part-time jobs in slice-of-life open world games where you can earn money from working there to supplement your expenses through school or something, I'd be more than happy to work until closing time 😂
I just woke up from a nightmare about a guy standing outside my house for two hours waiting to kidnap me. So absolutely not happy to see this 😁 edit: please stop you are all freaking me the fuck out
Not gunna lie. Im watching this at 4:30 am my time... and the 'Hello there..... The Beetles' got me good. I laughed so loud my son woke up and complained.
So far, the real horror of this game is trying to remember all these stupid Not-Starbucks drink orders. ---- A pretty eerie, very "real" horror that could happen to anyone. I don't work at a cafe, but I do sometimes work the closing shift at the grocery store, and I sometimes worry about what's gonna happen to me on my way home.
So I just have to say something that freaked me out. It still does now. So I was normally watching this video as you all do. Though when Manly said "Oh great the power went out." Around 2 seconds later the whole dang power is out in my house. I know it was pure coincidence but that was geniuely scary.
Thank you for thinking of us and brightening the vid. I’ve been so disappointed so many times by play throughs of horror games where I couldn’t see a dang thing 😩 Even a lot of big creators don’t think about how YT darkens it even more so we’re left with just black screens with vague outlines. Thank you Manly ❤️
i feel like there's a third ending where you don't forget to grab your phone from the locker before bricking the guy...i mean...Manly didn't grab the phone (that we saw..). I also have to wonder....does the story change if you DON'T pick up the stalker's phone? The mind boggles...
omg....i think whoever made this game actually works at a starbucks. all these routines are spot on and it's set up like a real location, i could personally walk in there and operate this shop w/ my current training (the shady man doesn't happen all that often thankfully)
Women experience stuff like that all the time sadly many creeps expect women own them something if they are nice or rude they can never win with creeps
These work-horror games are developing. I like how the two new customers at 33:37 show up as a distraction from the schoolgirls. If you do your job, you overhear and oversee just enough to keep it creepy. It's a smoother distraction than simply slamming a door shut on the player.
"Go easy on those syrups, those aren't good for you." Hey, I ordered an 18 pump ice caramel macchiato, let me deal with the type 3 diabetes. Seriously though, at one point I was at a starbucks and an old dude came in and bought an entire jug of syrup. Apparently he came in once or twice a month to buy a jug. How he was still alive I'll never know.
I work at a 24/7 convenience store. It's almost 4 am and I'm working alone :( so I figured this would be a solid video to get me through the rest of my shift
Was expecting the final ending to just be her answering the phone and getting some sort of remorseful but still creepy message from the stalker. Seemed like they were determined to make this ending a downer though. The second person pov shots were well done and creepy.
I can't unsee the free furniture assets that are used in like every game now. Every furnishing in the apartment is the same as those in house flipper lmao
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about this game is that they somehow recorded FIRST PERSON training videos. Ocular camera implants mandatory...scary world.

This game is absolutely wild. As a former Starbucks employee, not only are the procedures in this game generally *accurate* to how Starbucks does things (yes, even down to the throwing away of day-old pastries), but one of my old coworkers actually did end up being stalked by a customer. He would leave her creepy poetry, and refused to believe that she had been the one to call security on him many multiple times over. He would even come and watch her from the other side of the plaza, and ended up getting a job at the strip mall across the street from ours to be close to her.
Of course, the real world story ended with her transferring to another store in a different district 45 minutes away, but even so, I think we all wished we could have dropped a brick on that guy's head...
At my Starbucks we would eat all old pastries as we all agreed it's bad to waste food.
Tw*tter users be like "No, let's not get the mentally-ill guy some help. Let's instead try to murder him." You people are so strange.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v because he deserves it?? why should we sympathise with a stalker when he's the one doing harm?
@@midnight-hq4zg Because murder is never justified, especially with someone who clearly has issues?
@@castleswillfall192 You lucky bastards! Pastries are the best. That's a great thing to do.
So, this man gets a brick (larger looking than usual, too) dropped on his head from a story up and somehow survives. Then, he somehow manages to not only get himself up, but also hide the detective's body AND clean the snow soaked in his blood so well that the police suspect _nothing._ THEN drag his concussioned-ass all the way back to where she lives and play ring-around-the-rosie, so he can jump her from the closet.
Guy is absolutely cracked.
Hence why I find it weird that people call the game "realistic."
*Ah yes people definitely live after they get their head bashed in by a brick and proceed to get away with murders right afterward in real life.*
How the hell did the guy manage to freaking clean up blood off of SNOW?
@@TheRoseWolf

everything
@@siegwardinspirit the only explanation
@@aegisScale the realistic part is probably people thinking about their experiences of getting harassed at work. Getting followed after shift and your managers not protecting workers getting stalked.
Remind me of the time when I was helping a friend at their work. Around the closing time a man was trying to enter through the front and asking to be let in because "he left something" and when we said we will find it for him then he started making more excuses like he needed to talk about something in private and that he needs help but won't tell us what. Then we threatened to call the police which made him really aggressive and started shouting then proceeded to run away when the police came. He got caught after few days because apparently he had been stalking my friend for some weeks even before he had tried to enter the shop. The most unsettling part to me is the fact that he has a daughter who is the same age as my friend. Like how can he do this to another person. She is someone's daughter too. How would he feel if his daughter went through similar thing. And God knows what he wanted to do with her
I’m so sorry for your friend and that awful experience.
That's why you must buy the gun.

What I noticed:
-Everyone is swag walking
-Stalking is a serious issue in japan
-the investigator died.. I guess it's safe to call him "dead-tective"
-Manly played another food themed game..Bakery to a Diner.. Get it?
also isn't the stalker the very first person you meet near the apartment?
ppl in this game be like just woke up swag is on 😎
Guess the investigator need to file a 'cease and deceased order'
Yes the stalker is actually that person, his creepy note mentions that he fell in love with MC when she gave him his lost phone in the beginning
You miss the note she read where he admitted to being him?
Well. Yes. Regarding the stalking issues in Japan, you can look up Shiori Ino. And even with the revised laws, stalking cases are usually dismissed by police.
Japan may reportedly have an official low criminal rate, but I suspect it's due to many crimes just never being properly filed to begin with.
They also revised their stalking laws again in 2021, but statistically it hasn't made a significant reduction in the reported stalking cases.
What's especially scary is that what that detective told her is true. Often times when it comes to stalking cases, whether it be in Japan or anywhere else, police never take them seriously enough because they have to "wait until something happens" but that normally ends up costing the victim their life. So seeing both of those endings play out the way they do is often a very grim reality that a lot of people, especially women, face.
Eh, is it? I mean, being a killer doesn't make you superhuman and it seems like the person who made this game decided to ruin it with typical "protag dies" ending, because the killer SOMEHOW survived his head being hit by a massive brick. It's just stupid and done for the sake of unoriginal ending.
@@Pe6De Games don't usually make sense. And besides, their talking about how real the situation of someone being stalked is. Although yeah, the dude surviving that brick to the skull? No.
@@Pe6De Those kinds of bricks aren't always that heavy. Like, I wouldn't want to get hit by a LECA brick, but they're deceptively light. But that might not have really crossed the gamemaker's mind, and it's just the typical "Ooooh the killer survived after all, spoooopy"
same goes for missing person cases.
polices are often reactive to fault.
Yes, this is so true! I used to live in Japan in a rural district outside of a large (provincial) city during college. There was a guy who used to follow foreigner girls home shouting obscenities, even chasing them in his car sometimes. One girl tripped while running and ended up with a concussion in the hospital... he wasn't even investigated until he held a girl down and m*sturbated onto her white she screamed, attracting police attention. They said she would have been r*ped if she hadn't been able to run away. Turns out they had known who was doing it the whole time... he just hadn't directly assaulted anyone yet so it would be too much work for them to assemble a case. I don't know the ins and out of Japanese police investigations, or how much of the experience had to do with the race of the victims (all white and brazillian girls, with a Japanese perpetrator), but it definitely was a shocking experience... there were months where I wouldn't go out after dark. 31+ girls encountered the man. Terrifying.
I used to work at a hotel and got put on midnight shift all the time. I used to think I was getting stalked by a patron. But no, the footsteps following me to the car were my shift manager. And he continued to stalk me until I moved. So this game hit home for me; having a stalker is fucking terrifying.
Bad Senpai!
I'm glad you're safe now, that's fucking horrifying :(

I've had a couple standout creeps when I worked at a movie theater. One of them truly came off as one you would suspect to lock you up in a basement. He creeped on lots of the girls there and most were underaged. Thankfully management stepped up and he was banned from coming in ever again. The other one was much more personal to me.
I was waiting outside my apartment for my Uber to work. He lived in the same building and he came out to leave somwhere himself. He stopped and chatted with me for the whole duration of my wait (which was too long given the circumstance). Started normal and then he started getting weird and mentioning things like, "a good girl like you should come over and cook for me," and, "I know I'm much older than you but hey, maybe I'll get lucky," and so on. Mind you, I wasn't THAT young (like late 20s) but he was DEFINITELY twice my age or more. Anyhow, everytime he'd see me he'd try and chat but I of course would turn him down and move along.
Well, one night he comes into my workplace. Wouldn't have been weird since it's a theater, except that he mentioned how he'd never been there before and came out hoping I'd be there. I never told him where I worked. I was as polite as i could be though, keeping chat short and sending him on his way to his movie. Immediately called over a couple coworker friends, one being a manager and the other being security. Told them about the guy while he was still in line for popcorn, gave them a copy of his receipt and movie ticket just in case they needed to call cops on him for any reason. After he was out of sight, they let me go home early so he wouldn't see me at all. Sure enough, he came back out trying to find me and management and security confronted him.
I spoke to my roommate about the guy and all that happened and he went to the apartment office about him. Soon enough he wasn't living there anymore. Dunno if he left by his own choice or was evicted but boy was I glad. It sucked trying to dodge him everyday. I'm just extremely grateful that people around me took it seriously. I know that isn't always the case for some. F'ing creeps man...
I'm glad you don't have to deal with that guy anymore. Some people just don't know how to keep to theirselves. I wish everyone took this sort of thing that seriously.
had something similar happen! the day I waved goodbye to my boyfriend who was taking the train back home,an older dude (I’d guess between 45-53)approached me asking where he could buy a ticket&which train he would need to get to a certain stop. I always like to help so I helped him buy one and showed him on a screen which train/how many stops and so on. during the whole conversation I started to slowly feel uneasy because he’d ask me questions. at first I thought he was just doing smalltalk since older people tend to do that a lot where I live but it got increasingly more creepy when he started making comments about my looks,how young I seem and so on. I tried to stay polite so he wouldn’t get angry but when he asked for my phone number to maybe hang out some time and go for drinks I was fully creeped out and ready to run. I hastily told him that I don’t know my number by heart (which wasn’t even a lie at the time) and that my train was about to arrive and that I needed to go. BIG.MISTAKE! Even though I hurried that motherfluffer actually followed me to spot where my specific train would arrive. thankfully he lost sight of me between the people and K managed to hide next to a rather big person. thinking that he’d surely take the same train and search me,I actually skipped that one and kept waiting for the next. unlucky for me he was also still there but for some reason he thought I must have fled to the opposite side where other trains hold. over there se seemingly kept looking for me AND saw me because we were now across from one another so I couldn’t hide behind anyone anymore. He RUSHED down the stairs but to my luck my train showed up at the same time and I saw him outside as I left the station. never saw him again but that sure scared the fuck out of me. worst part is that he told me he’s a teacher ._.

I once worked at subway and my boss expected me to close at 10 at night. I was a minor and would be alone in the store, and I was an hour away from home. So one night as I’m closing a guy comes in uses the bathroom and looks right at me while he leaves. He paces by his car which is in front of the store but far away from the light that I can’t see his expression. He ended up leaving since I called my ride. I got home safe but it was very scary.
hes probably just a person like me who despearetely wants to scare people with eye contact but fails but he got lucky tho!
Scary, also messed up, where I work we have minors and I sometimes hear how they can't work at certain hours, hopefully they didn't break the rules

I've been stalked by both guys, and girls (yes girls can be stalkers too), and sadly these kinds of people WILL take advantage of benevolence, and empathy. One way to deter them is to just be a dick/bitch, these kinds of people will make you choose between your reputation, and your livelihood, don't let them push you. That's why they almost always go for teens and early 20s (since they still care about what others think), be mean, make it as unpleasant as possible for them to be around you once they refuse "no" as an answer.
If they hit you with the "I was just being friendly" you counter with "I have enough friends".
If they still persist even after all that, just outright call the cops (but don't say you'll do it, otherwise they'll run away, you want the officers to know what they look like), you'll never see them again once a cop or two know what they look like, and at least one of the vehicles they drive.

Man, I worked as a barista at a popular downtown cafe and desserts place a couple years back and it was honestly fun to make the drinks… but it could get scary sometimes. This place was open til midnight since it was downtown and a big date spot, which meant a lot of drunk people would come by. Like 95% of the time they were harmless, but I was always scared leaving my shift at 12:30am-1am to go catch my bus. I got harassed so many times. And then one night, 3 dudes were super drunk and just starting BANGING their hands on the cafe’s glass door. I was terrified and ended up crying and hiding behind the counter. I quit after, and worked at a Starbucks in a MUCH safer spot.
Anyway, this game just reminded me of that time of my life in a weird way. I did like being a barista though. Making the drinks becomes second nature and is honestly relaxing, as long as customers aren’t too rowdy. Just stay safe and remember that your job is never worth more than your safety and life!
Wow I rarely get scared of what manly plays but your experience is more scary
I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing better now. People are fucking mad..

oh boy it's 2am! time to watch this playthrough of a game about a cafe closing shift instead of getting some sleep before my cafe opening shift that starts in three hours!! ☕
edit: finished the video!
I only work opening shifts now (which can be just as spooky bc cafes open early and often times it's basically still night out when we arrive), but I've done closing shifts before and the weird and creepy customers in this game are pretty accurate.
Except, I find that the customers who hit on the baristas don't just give up like that, lol. No, instead they linger around at the food/drink hand-off plane, forcing you to keep being polite and talking to them even though you're clearly busy and uninterested in them and in the middle of trying to make other people's drinks or get closing tasks done 😬 Like, dude, if I didn't give you my number the first time you asked, I'm *definitely* not gonna give it to you if you're the kind of person who thinks it's okay to keep harassing me for it, smh.
Thankfully at starbs we're required to always have at least two employees on the premises (it's for liability reasons, but I'm not sure if this rule applies to all locations), and closers leave the store at the same time, together. If you only see one barista behind the counter, the other is probably in the back taking care of stuff while keeping an ear out for any trouble. My shift supervisors suddenly emerging from the back room have saved me from a lot of creeps over the years lol

It took another employee/friend of mine who showed up on a day off and I hugged him and said my hellos- the stalker customer was there and left promptly after. Never saw him again. Still gives me the creeps.
So creepy. "Oh she already has a male friend she made physical contact with I guess my chances are shot."
sometimes even the stalkers seeing you with your partner isn't enough. A lot of guys think that you're open game unless you're married. I hate society
@@pinkpugginz No, the point was to make it look like she had a boyfriend, not... whatever you were imagining.
Edit: Also, not a stalker. Stalkers have to, you know, actually stalk - this is just the original poster having social anxiety issues, and the loser that kept sitting there being socially awkward.
@@SyndicateOperativetechnically still a stalker.
1:03:00 "It's closed sir, it's closed, see the sign? can't get in here. Beep beep, scanned. " Swear to God, I love this man.
Damn, I was incredibly underwhelmed by that ending, wanted to see the fucking stalker dead
It is unfortunate how the two endings were "You tried to run but he was in your car all along!" And "You thought you got away but you were wrong!" Like there was two endings but both of them were just the stalker winning by the looks of it
@@followeroftheprince
Indeed, really couldn’t add in a good ending?
Like make it obscure as fuck is fine too, at least add one in
A lot of real-life stalker situations don’t have a happy ending. I enjoy that the game didn’t veer into being unrealistic.
@@TheBeastBandit I get that irl it doesn't happen, but what's the point in making more than one ending, one slightly obscure one which is apparently the one intended ending, if both of them have the same outcome of the stalker catching you?
It just feels like a bait and switch that the game even lets you retry the final bit to make sure to get the second ending... Without it really mattering
@@TheBeastBandit
You do realize that not 100% of stalking cases ends with a murder right?
The woman popping out actually scared me
That was the biggest jumpscare of the entire video for me 💀
Ironically back in college working a crappy customer service call center job for 'a coffee shop company' i received a phone call from a customer complaining that he got kicked out of the store. Kicked out for taking pictures of the female baristas who were incredibly uncomfortable with this dirty old man. He claimed he deleted them right away but just liked to take pictures of the girls.
Freaking. Yikes. to that call.
he would’ve been brought straight to the police where I live since it’s illegal to photograph randos like that xD
oh lord, I usually don't get freaked out by these games but with this I had chills all the way through. It was so realistic, plus the art style is so creepy, such a good experience
When he made any espresso "latte" as a misto my barista heart flipped 😂
Lol omg me too! I was like, why isn't he using the espresso bar? And the "chilachino" was stressing me out bc damnit I hated making frappuchinos!
_Perfect horror setup working closing_
I never had to do that. I think the Twin Peaks diner seemed so much easier. Coffee. Pie. Done. :D
This game made you feel very vulnerable because of all those windows. They made you so easy to be looked at. Then all the weird ways in - from the roof, the back door, and only the CLOSED sign between you and him.
You can tell MBH approaches a stalker like a man would tho. Like the confrontation on the bus , he went right up to the bus to look at the guy and stare him down. The comedic portions of the game were so weird and customers' dialogues were so bizarre that they actually enforced the nervousness instead of reducing it. And I thank MBH again for his editing of the coffee making - it focused the video on the tension. The game was pretty good.
really glad chilla's figured out how to make characters walk at a more normal pace. I enjoy most his games but the incredibly slow walking has always been a problem with me.
As someone who has worked at a cafe, people have acutally ordered milk and steamed milk. It was the easiest order.
honestly steamed milk is fuckin delicious i can't blame them
I think these games are often playing as "Wagees" for 3 reasons.
1) They're overlooked and not respected. Highly likely to be ignored if they mention an issue, and the first step to abuse is isolation. Their isolation makes them a target that can't acquire help.
2) They're trapped in their situation because they don't have the expendable income to just quit on the spot and go elsewhere. Their desperation makes them a target that can't flee.
3) They don't have any command or power. They can't delegate, change the rules, or have any sort of change over their situation. Their powerlessness makes them a target that can't fight back.
I personally like it. One reason because games like that are kinda fun (barista, pizza maker, burger flipper, etc) and two because I feel that fear. The question of "Is this something I should actually flee over or am I just going to look like an idiot to my manager and get fired tomorrow?". I used to work as the sole call-center girl making $3 less than industry standard (that was after 3 raises). I had an "office" but it had no windows and was in the center of the building so if power went out, it was pitch black. Even scarier is my manager refused to allow me to keep a weapon with me and I was left alone at the end of the day at least an hour, and I wasn't allowed to lock my office door or the outer doors front or back. I remember being the only person in the building that evening, I heard someone enter the building but didn't come speak to me, I sat perfectly still and silent as they opened up every door in the office one by one, and then the power went out. I was so scared I ran to the front door but couldn't decide whether I was over-reacting or not, so I stayed there for awhile without actually leaving. One of the worst feelings to not be able to leave but you can but you can't. Power came back and I went to my office and locked the door. At end of shift, I did a quick sweep of the building to lock all the doors and I was GONE. Next day my manager talked to me like I was stupid and shamed me for locking my office door. I quit a few months later because they asked me to run a scam and I refused. Haven't found another office job since in my tiny factory town, so I started my own business instead. Onwards and upwards, boys. Anyway, long story short, this kind of pressure based horror, I completely get it. It's legit. And it will always target the "Wagees".
I know this might be obvious. I've just heard manly comment on it a few different times so maybe those in the comments who don't understand, can.
This is so sad and true. One of my previous jobs, we had a shooting and a man died. My coworker, who had been the only person on shift that night, who had to call police and try to help the wounded in the meantime, showed up for work a few days later. I would have expected her to get tf out after that, but she said even though she was terrified, she didn't really have any other option. She needed the money.
We had no security, even the doors that were supposed to lock and let us buzz people in were broken. And of course staff complained but they never bothered to fix them until AFTER the incident
Its funny how most of chilla's arts games are focused on horror and jobs. It really says something about working...
I have been enamoured with Chilla's Art games for a long time now. They do something unique, especially with the atmosphere and sound design. Love it.
The ending teaches a valuable lesson: *Always double tap.*
i worked as barista before, i can confirm this is unacurate, you only truly have like 20 seconds to finish a coffee order before the customers short fuse starts blowing up
Manly: "messed with graphic settings, should be easier on your eyes"
Game: a literal laser light show on every possible reflective surface and probably some surfaces that aren't meant to be reflective
hahaha :D ♪
#1 lesson from all Chilla's Art games: don't work night shift.
Chilla's art at it again with it's vengeance against part-timers
1:07:32 says 女子中学生が行方不明 (tl. missing middle/junior high school female student), which is likely a reference to another Chilla's Art game Missing Children. Pretty cool.
Chilla's and puppet combo should do a collaboration imagine how awesome that would be.
"Chilla's Combo"
@@EsmenettaRien yes perfect XD
If this is a game without horror aspects, I'd play for the coffee making mechanics! This, and Happy Humble Burgers Farm, make the 'jobs' feel fun to play, and if they're part-time jobs in slice-of-life open world games where you can earn money from working there to supplement your expenses through school or something, I'd be more than happy to work until closing time 😂
Agreed!
Puppet combo and chilla’s art will always be my favourites of horror
I love how everybody is as fast as Sonic in this game.
man she fought so hard i wanted her to make it
the customers in this game really be driving like they've just robbed a bank lmao
LMAO THE WAY U NARRATE IT 💀
People want coffee so much they break the speed and physics limit to get it apparently!
I just woke up from a nightmare about a guy standing outside my house for two hours waiting to kidnap me. So absolutely not happy to see this 😁
edit: please stop you are all freaking me the fuck out
Dedication.
😁
I like your pillowcases 😁
@@sodashiira1894 so creepy
@@gettoXRD Tf 💀
Not gunna lie. Im watching this at 4:30 am my time... and the 'Hello there..... The Beetles' got me good. I laughed so loud my son woke up and complained.
So far, the real horror of this game is trying to remember all these stupid Not-Starbucks drink orders.
----
A pretty eerie, very "real" horror that could happen to anyone. I don't work at a cafe, but I do sometimes work the closing shift at the grocery store, and I sometimes worry about what's gonna happen to me on my way home.
So I just have to say something that freaked me out. It still does now.
So I was normally watching this video as you all do.
Though when Manly said "Oh great the power went out."
Around 2 seconds later the whole dang power is out in my house. I know it was pure coincidence but that was geniuely scary.
OHMYGOSH I WOULD HAVE PASSED OUT FROM FEAR
@@weneverjokeaboutbunniesbunny I wasn't scared, I was just shocked
Thank you for thinking of us and brightening the vid. I’ve been so disappointed so many times by play throughs of horror games where I couldn’t see a dang thing 😩 Even a lot of big creators don’t think about how YT darkens it even more so we’re left with just black screens with vague outlines. Thank you Manly ❤️
How does this man have a chill voice and is almost so chil as well at any horror games he plays / played
i feel like there's a third ending where you don't forget to grab your phone from the locker before bricking the guy...i mean...Manly didn't grab the phone (that we saw..).
I also have to wonder....does the story change if you DON'T pick up the stalker's phone?
The mind boggles...
I know this comment is two years old, but if you try to grab your phone you discover that your stuff is missing.
@@hypomanix ahhh
omg....i think whoever made this game actually works at a starbucks. all these routines are spot on and it's set up like a real location, i could personally walk in there and operate this shop w/ my current training (the shady man doesn't happen all that often thankfully)
Women experience stuff like that all the time sadly many creeps expect women own them something if they are nice or rude they can never win with creeps
I feel like chilla's art games and manlybadass playing them is the best combination, it always entertaining
The most terrifying part of the game is the realization that MC's apartment is the size of my bathroom.
These work-horror games are developing. I like how the two new customers at 33:37 show up as a distraction from the schoolgirls. If you do your job, you overhear and oversee just enough to keep it creepy. It's a smoother distraction than simply slamming a door shut on the player.
Oh yes, shift in the store. Apart from occasional junkies, scammers, hobos and lost hikers, its all the same. Even the stalking part is correct.
God Bless dem bois at Chilla's Art for providing the community so much content!
"Go easy on those syrups, those aren't good for you." Hey, I ordered an 18 pump ice caramel macchiato, let me deal with the type 3 diabetes.
Seriously though, at one point I was at a starbucks and an old dude came in and bought an entire jug of syrup. Apparently he came in once or twice a month to buy a jug. How he was still alive I'll never know.
I work at a 24/7 convenience store. It's almost 4 am and I'm working alone :( so I figured this would be a solid video to get me through the rest of my shift
Was expecting the final ending to just be her answering the phone and getting some sort of remorseful but still creepy message from the stalker. Seemed like they were determined to make this ending a downer though. The second person pov shots were well done and creepy.
I can't unsee the free furniture assets that are used in like every game now. Every furnishing in the apartment is the same as those in house flipper lmao
asset flipper
@@PerfectAttention house flipper is a pretty good game
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about this game is that they somehow recorded FIRST PERSON training videos. Ocular camera implants mandatory...scary world.
Or, y'know, a GoPro
@@spintowin8971 are gopros those cameras that go on your head or smthing??
@@CHlCKIN yeah
Based caveman doesn't know any real way to record a 1st person video 😂
54:50
I laugh every time I hear Manly say "WHERE'D MY CAR GO?!" for some reason and I don't know why.
While not big this is probably the nicest apartment in a ChillasArt game yet. I like it!
