“A horror game where you must go to work” thats the realest thing i heard this year so far
This world is just simulation.
I'm about to experience that horror in about 7 hours
And it's only been a week 💀
My horror game is where I have to go back to school on Jan 9
well,at least not under paywave
Sadly, that "commit yourself to work" was relatable. "this job takes priority in your life" is a real thing when you get hired, at some places.
you work so you can live, and you live so that you'll work
@@bohlam6cbuh i no wanna do either :(
@@bohlam6c As that Stupendium song goes:
_"We work,_
_to earn the right to work_
_to earn the right to give_
_ourselves the right to buy_
_ourselves the right to live,_
_To earn the right to die!"_
Ugh I've worked a few places that pulled the "this job must be priority" and it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I would leave them after having enough experience to put it to use elsewhere. It's so nasty bc that usually means that they are quick to say no when you want or need off (unless you're dying) or they call you every damn day to stay later or give up your off day. You're only lucky if you get a good manager. Horrible places.
@@bohlam6c nuuuuu (wail)
It might be on the nose, but I've definitely had jobs that felt like this sort of endless experience. When every shift feels the same, where you're too tired to do anything after work so there's no true rest before you're right back into it as the days blur. They did a good job of portraying that tedium, the endless grind. Loved the ending, I'm glad it went out on an uplifting angle instead of just leaving you with that sense of defeat.
I thought it would just end like so many other horror games, in blood and misery, not trying to be offensive.
@@joshcoy6748 Nah it's not offensive , honestly that's more of a cliche because so many games did and still does that ^^' .
But this one the ending was nice to me , especially how the Game Over (which funny enough I though the joke at first was , Game Over you have a job ! xd) .
watching this during my EAT break at WORK sure is something.
can't wait to go SLEEP later.
Same 💀💀
(●´⌓`●)
PAY
Do you also have to pay an eldritch horror so you can sustain yourself ?
don't forget to PAY, or the alarms will get you
I like that this game instead of taking the potential usual trope of horror games of the protagonist losing in some capacity and basically winning at the end there by busting up the prison of his work confinement. Some people kind of need a message like that at times.
Absolutely, its important to hold out hope and see that things can be different. The moment you really lose is either when you stop breathing or give up. Fight for yourself!
yup, existential horror is definitely more impactful than usual cheesy trope horror
Spain, specially Catalonia, had many of those communities Manly mentioned in his post game commentary. They were called "Industrial colonies" and it was exactly as he said: they lived in towns where they worked too, because the factory was there and there was no mode of transport. so when they got paid they went to the grocery store, or the liquor store, or went to the cafe, or went to buy the newspaper... but thing is, all those shops were owned by the owner of the factory because the entire colony was made to maximize profits. so they got paid just to pay it all back to their employer, which meant they'd never be able to leave the colony. it's... shocking that these were functioning not that long ago.
Some company towns in the US back in the day didn't even pay you in money, but rather in vouchers that could only be redeemed at the stores owned by the company, so you couldn't even save some extra money to pay to get out of the town because you wouldn't have any money to pay with for anything outside of town like food and housing, let alone transportation out of town.
@@Penguinmanereikel Yep! IIRC we had some like those here too, but most just calculated how much they'd have to pay employees so they spent it all bcs the companies often also controlled the prices of housing, groceries, entertainment, etc. and as such they could pay exactly enough to "live" in the colony.
@@starrymomo same with company towns in the US
And we're BRINGIN' 'EM BACK, BABYYYYYYY
@@Szriko in Spain, the US, or the world in general?
Manly purely annoying the Skull by pressing no is a very Manly thing to do 💀
1:46 that part was so funny that I wonder if this is a dark comedy game 😂
the manly urges to say no :
My old rental loved to change the rules. The number of times I was served an eviction notice after paying, asked to pay twice, had my autopay cancelled, had the service used for paying rent changed with only two days' notice... The first time really did make me panic, but eventually it did just become a dull hum of navigating whatever scam they threw at me this time. The blame and alarms just became part of the routine. The game really hit the nail on the head with this one on how predatory these kinds of people and companies can be.
You have a new friend request from "Arson"
I hope you found a place with an actual rental contract.
The middle finger to the mouth was absolutely satisfying. Love this subverted expectations and went the rebel route in the end.
"It is a horror game where you have to go to work"
I am already shaking in my boots.
I pissed and shidded even
It shivered my timbers
It's too real, too scary. Or rather simply too bleak, which always beats scary in the final reckoning unless you're fortunate enough to kick it in childhood
As someone who was recently laid off, and then threatened with eviction immediately afterward, this was one of the realest and most accurate depictions of corporate America I've seen in a video game in recent memory.
(Edit/Spoiler:)
The ending was super cathartic though. This actually went from a feel-bad to a feel-good experience, that's wild.
i hope you can qualify for unemployment while you figure things out with work! that really sucks, i hope things work out for the better for you this year
@@alfredandersson875 I'm afraid that whatever system you come up with after will still have these problems because avarice predates economics
It's good to see that the giant hand from Spongebob is finding success in other mediums.
This is how my work day actually is.
I wake up with my bed in a random place. I then push buttons and if I do it wrong a skull insults me. Then, for lunch I have two cans (that's it, my body has evolved to not need human foods.) I them get $10 every day and feed a giant mouth that money or else the alarms overwhelm me.
I also hear voices in my head, including one that's kind of manly, kind of badass, and kind of a hero.
I have the feeling the creator of this game is stalking me.
Sounds like a great job! What’s it called?
@@Funkbot_Management consulting
"Wouldnt this be more efficient if you payed me before eating" hit me so hard
During apprenticeship I asked my boss why we did something in a timeconsuming way when another was more efficient and she said "I know, but they dont care about efficiency, only about their rules"
Those "work & depression" games were always sad bc all the MC died
I LAUGHED SO HARD IN THE END, great game, great twist
It was on the nose, but... Oh my God. Oh my God, it hit. It hit me so hard because it understands what it feels like to be trapped in this sort of situation. I only recently made it out of a company like that, one that made work as difficult as possible and demanded so, so much time and energy. That kind of misery genuinely makes you wish you were dead...
This game could have easily allowed it to end with you losing your arm but I respect it giving you hope in the end. Resistance.
"...which is a horror game where you must go to work."
_NOOOOOOOOOOO!_ I became a housewife to _avoid_ a 9-to-5!!
Now, 9-to-5 come to you
horror about "work life balance". something extremely relatable as most full time jobs basically leave just enough energy for you to want to relax all weekend, and nothing else.
When even one week is too unbearable.
I feel for the protag. It’s easy to get trapped in jobs where every day is just suffering and the only thing that you’re there for is money anyway, even though you barely manage to get by. And with the screen and being forced to lie because if you’re too honest and kind to cheat the system, the system will take advantage of that and cheat you. Forcing you to lie and making you already more miserable than you already are by making you even more trapped.
I feel like this in school, and I feel like I'd feel this way even worse when I actually get a job. I wonder how I'll survive this
@@OneTrueBlender you could start your own business?
@@jackalenterprisesofohio Yeah but its always a gamble isnt it?
@@OneTrueBlender not if you start small, the odds are better, Food trucks for example have better luck surviving than brick and mortar restaurants, so I would presume where you live fairs and other such festivals happen?
So if you buy a cart or the like and did all the licensing you could easily see profit with-in 2 years, Now, while I myself don't have any form of business, I did take a culinary arts course class, and I can tell you opening a business is easier than what people think, the really only hard part is the location and marketing.
Accurate
Except for the eating and sleeping part, that’s too expensive for me
"Sometimes the stressors of daily life feel like a game, and sometimes the stressors in games can feel like daily life"
Another thing about old company towns is that they generally paid employees with their own type of money making it only possible to spend worker's paychecks in the town.
There's even an old song about it, "Sixteen Tons".
Imagine not being able to use ebay or Amazon
Ah, a game that emulates what its like to work a constant job to survive, such a relatable game, this is definitely not a cry for help hahaha.
I love how the game is accurate to life
I know this game is supposed to be a symbolic game about work or life or something idk but like this part 24:13 was so unexpected that I literally almost fall of my chair from laughter
I like that this game isnt something that you can expect, most games have these so called mysterious endings where the main character gets eaten or some shit like that, but this game makes you feel like a side character, you arent important, you just work, till you got fed up and gave a middle finger to the system.
Good gosh i love these metaphors, they were absolutely spot on! this is literally modern existence.
That incredible system where 90% of your build is determined by spawn RNG and the entire late game is tossing money into a hole to make line go up and big number bigger.
Nah, way more than a mere 90% is determined by spawn RNG lol
I’m seeing a pattern of games how going to work or even about working is seen as scary. Couldn’t be closer to the truth.
Insert lethal company joke here
It would be great if nobody worked. No manlybadasshero videos, no delicious restaurants, no movies or TV shows, no video games, no anime. Just people laying down for probably an hour until the whole planet goes extinct. Thankfully, everyone was too scared to work.
@@takehirotaniguchi6271 i'm very glad that u never experienced horrible work which drains your life out
@@takehirotaniguchi6271 Working in and of itself is not the main problem, dummy, but current working conditions in most places. I bet if you actually had to live in japan you'd change your mind and or unalive yourself, it's one of the worst examples.
@@takehirotaniguchi6271 animals would thanks us for that
"Tuesday, the same day where Bison murder Chunli's parent."
That nearly slip pass me lol
Gotta hand it to this game, paying bills certainly does feel like pulling teeth some days.
I love the concept of this game and was so excited to see Manly play it! Also, if water is wet, then is fire burny? Or does it just burn when it's on things?
A fire can't exist without burning something so a fire has to be burny right
@@arctic7577 Same goes for water though, right? It can't really exist without making something wet, because it cannot just float in thin air.
@ProfessionallyInsane-vx6lm you mean clouds?
@@Midnightwings1 lol i guess so. but I guess i mean simply water. Smoke would be the fire equivalent to clouds, i suppose.
Welcome to the Fire Is Burny Club, how Fire Is Burny are ya?
🔥 🔥😊
Ending is weirdly uplifting
Holy crap the explanation at the end made this so much deeper for me... sold my soul to the company store.
This is what having a chronic illness/chronic pain is like. The red pay part is a migraine.
i like how being employed is seen as a horror game nowadays
These are indie devs, after all
Peak 2024 Zoomer psychology, yep. God help us.
Late Stage Capitalism moment
Ya beat me to the comment 😂
The children yearn for the mines and textile shops
Love how they include that Pay alarm, Almost like they put it in to drive Manly Crazy.
Love the final fantasy 7 town burning down sound effect usage on the static voids. Nice touch.
I love low paying working simulators with horror mixed into it reminds me of real life
If a low paying job reminds you of real life, make better use of your free time.
@@Shyhalu "learn to code"
@JN-so6wt There are 24 hours in a day. Wtf do you think you are doing now by commenting? Wasting your free time.
@@SecuR0M If you can't self teach yourself a more valuable skill nor have the gumption to take classes and etc for it, you deserve your low wage job.

You will never be a homeowner.
6:30 Smh my head they haven't even heard about the snakes that glide with their ribs
I like how youtube marked the game as "Five Nights at Freddy's"
XD
five nights at work
I don’t think I was emotionally prepared for Manly working as Flesh Panopticon’s dentist
“This $10 bill… to satisfy… ME?”
This game just gives me the same feeling as doomscrolling through r/antiwork. Like. Yeah, buddy, you got it right exactly. in fact you got it so right that now it's just depressing. the ending just felt hollow to me, everything before was too real for the tiny amount of wish-fulfillment to hit
the mere action of working is alredy a horror game
That hand flipping the giant mouth, how unexpected good for the player character, I hope he made it all out of there
What a depressing topic
Sad to say I'm already at work... thank you Manly👍
My condolences 😞
Reminds me of the comment that people make when in relation to work " i have mouths to feed" in relation to dependants
I like the ending... I don't know why but it makes me feel easy? It doesn't leave this sour taste of dystopia and despair which i expected.
that game shows reality of life , some people live up from payout to payout just to buy important things as food etc and again work thats so sad
That's actually a really good horror. It makes you question yourself, and the ending was amazing
The ending made me tear up ,I needed that and didnt even realize it - the anger mixed with the music was so beautifully done
‘Void’ reminds me of an empty trash-can;
it’s like a picture of Manly’s soul.
You know the game is sad when Manly begins the video with the Game Over screen 😂😂😂
As someone in medicine I love my work, even it pays less than other things I'm smart enough to do, though the system I'm in makes me unhappy. This game was brutal.
Posted at the perfect time.. idk why but I always watch manly to go to sleep lol
1:07 this upsets me for some reason, since most door handles like that do open when you turn up instead of down
I've never seen one of those doors open upwards lol
Me neither
@@nuisance1114 same
are all doors installed upside down in your country? lol
I know, such a waste to only be able to install the handle in one direction.
It's not that the door handle HAS to be pushed upward to open, but that it opens whether it's moved down OR up. This means you can move the handle from your left hand to your right hand by simply turning the entire assembly upside down, or open the door by pushing the handle up with your knee if your hands are full.
Everyone go try it, you'll find that most door handles work in both directions!

Manlyyyy my man i missed your videos so much like the character i needed to work to live missed you so much
If my house keeps changing shape they should at least lower the rent
How that one kid feels when he has to do one slide for the group project: the game
The bit of the hand background they didn't fully erase, by the pinky, really stuck out to me after a while lol
Manly i wont lie i play your videos when i go to sleep
"Gotta get the cash, gotta get the dough
If it means kill 'em all then I won't say no!"
I wonder if Manly was referencing that part of a Max Anarchy song.
In the past, as a european, i would have thought this to be an exaggeration. That we always have time for leisure.
But having learned the horrible working conditions some american friends told me about, and how the work life _works_ i totally get it now.
The idea alone that you don't get paid monthly is insane to me. With so little money, how are you supposed to put money aside for accidents and so on? Paid holidays being rare is wack. Having to unionise to get breaks rather than have it be, you know, a legal obligation is wack.
It was a surprisingly easy con to pull on us, though. Culturally, America has a huge hang-up on being "individualists" and "free-thinkers", so convincing the population that working together is somehow more morally wrong (Cooperation of any kind = socialism/communism! EEEEEK! Noooo!!!) was baked in, and since our population is, by definition made up of disparate groups that came from different places, in different "waves", under different rules and circumstances, we were particularly susceptible to being turned against one another (not just one divide or two, turning a majority against one group, but a million near-equally deep-running fissures), so not only is a system that looks out for everyone anathema, but we'd rather tear one another to pieces than be unified about anything. At most, in the face of a convincing existential threat, you can get some pockets of grudging cooperation and recognition of everyone's humanity... briefly.
I have to be honest, the fact the United Auto Workers strike didn't end with something horrifyingly dystopian might have put the single largest dent in my cynicism about this country... and I'm still half-waiting for some shoe to drop, revealing at a minimum an ugly scandal, or some hidden caveat that plays out with nightmare-fuel results several years down the road.
Well the horrors of the us, is also coming soon to where you live
thanks for a midnight post before Monday before work!!!!!!!!! Love ya xx
It’s fun to see a game that did such a great job with its attention to detail while keeping its symbolism subtle.
Ah yes, eviction notices are very *WEDNESDAY* 9:19
As a modern person, I have on occasion enjoyed VOID
Your commentary on this game was perfect! It made my day! ✨️
I like how the game briefly turned into Perfect Vermin at the end. X3
Am gonna miss seeing you, you and your theories had given me something amazing to injoy, your dad jokes make me so happy and any and everything you do makes everyone just adore your company and of course the famous phrase. thank you for everything you've done we love you Pat I with you the absolute best! Love ya
I tried playing this about a week ago but once I got to the maze I had to put it down. I was not that committed but at least I can watch someone else go through the pain

"Which is a horror game...."
Me:"Oh nice new horror game"
"...Where you must go to work"
Me:"OH NO."
This is the scariest horror game ever because it is the moat realistic you must go to work.
I didn’t know the IRS would go this far but seems pretty accurate.
This is an accurate depiction of how any artist feels when they work a normal job.
NAHHH 💀 It's true though
Jobs that don't make you feel useful to society are definitely like that tho, when you build a house you give someone a home someday, when you type with spreadsheets for days for stuff you're never explained what it serves It feels weird
Sad thing is with the way the market is now, that house probably just goes to some sleezy landlord that'll scalp someone who's barely scraping by for it@@flyingstonemon3564
Dont know if anyone else mentioned this but you remember that roblox horror game about the maid cafe Amelias Cafe? the creator made a new game called Gaming with Tomomi and it features your plushie on the protagonist's desk, id suggest checking out that game soon
Just getting started and the todo list is the definition of a horror movie
I just see all the comments and then theres just me like "dang this looked like fun job, just SLEEP, EAT, answer a few questions, FREE HOME, NO THOUGHTS! SIGN ME UP!"
6:42
"knock knock"
"Knuckles?"
Jumpscare: "HERE I COME"
Weird that someone reached I to my brain and visualized it like this.
I come here to watch horror games to relax because nothing is more horrifying than real life. I feel betrayed
Oh no, not work that requires math! Poor protag. No wonder he went to the funny farm.
There has never been a more terrifying opening 9 seconds to any video
I'm guessing this game represents being near-homeless with mental issues and struggling to pay your rent.
Thank god I can get my manly fix tonight
basically real life simulator minus the big mouth
minus the big mouth? bro the IRS is real and they WILL get you
Based Reply section
@JN-so6wt yeah i hate late stage capitalism too but i thought this was a funny comment section
@JN-so6wt have you considered running your own business?
I mean its around the same amount of money as two fursuits.
Manly you should play a game called Little Goody Two Shoes! It has a very good 90's artstyle and is so unique.. it's like an RPG maker horror game but better! it's a bit long though so it might need to be split up into different parts. Please play it you would like it!!!!
Hii, I was wondering if you could play elevator hitch since you’ve already played dead plate and cold front. It would complete the trio lol
I cant help it but everytime manly says "which is a horror game where-" i instantly hear the rest as "where you flush your mom down the toilet" 😭😭😭😭
Woah they made my life into a game thats crazy!
The skull has actually funny quotes ngl
I wonder why Doing Mundane thinfs is the indie horror trope of the decade. Perhaps its a reflection
I think it’s because mundane things become suddenly extremely taxing when your head isnt in the right place. I think this game did it well, even if it’s a trope~ :)
all work and no pay makes the weird disembodied cash receptacle an unhappy boy
I really enjoyed your playthrough of this!
I guess u could say this minimum wage job is truly a mouthfull
5:15 manly really said little mix up when it is the same thing
wow, those hallways almost reached Ban Ban levels of absurd.
