Classic startup tactics - create the hype and try to figure out how to actually make the thing you hype based on it. Tech ‘culture’ like yoghurt in the sun.
Yoghurt still got the better, more useful culture tho
@@EffieTM lmao
It's called "Vaporware". Building hype / marketing a product that doesn't yet exist, only to build it afterwards
Yeah but that works fine for weird apps or services that can kinda sorta fake it in some way. A game either is or is not, there isn’t a lot of middle ground of the game kinda exists, is super successful and the studio gets bought out by like EA.
@@EffieTM lol smart
The spa seems like something that would be added because the boss insisted that it be added.
My first thought was are they going to turn it into a sex game? LOL
@@starvr I had a very similar thought! A hot tub / spa is so out-of-place in a post-apocalyptic zombie survival game, my immediate guess was that this "gameplay trailer" is nothing more than a way to telegraph "you'll be able to see characters in their underwear!" It strikes me as a transparent but very lame way to maintain hype for a game that is years -- at best -- from ever seeing the light of day, and who knows in what final form.
@@starvr Mine as well. I mean what fucking purpose does this serve? If you're going to make this video in a zombie game ... have zombies attack the people apparently stupid enough to try to take a spa day during the zombie apocalypse. Not just show them sitting there.
Maybe they were fans of River City Ransom
@@landru27 Considering the Mall trailer just shows a character looting things that people would hunger for pre-apocalypse, but makes zero sense after a collapse. Jewelry, an iPhone, maybe a fancy fountain pen... And later showing a cute little cottage in the woods without any points of defense. It just read to me as a transparent appeal to the have-nots on a base emotional level, and nothing at all like a trailer actually showing off game mechanics or setting.
Bro...that "Post Apocalyptic Spa" scene is legitimately ripped from the spa scenes in Code Vein, same camera angles, relatively same size pool of water, very similar room layout, and NPCs are positioned in similar ways.
Lmaoooo. Comparison videos out yet? I'll go check
Glad to see you have Return RUclips Dislikes so we can see just how much people hate this garbage. This company has got to be a total scam
but the dislike is for his video, not on the game dev company. so, if you dislike it, you're doing Kira a disservice.
@@dreadeddarko When he plays Fntastic's videos you can see the dislikes.

I knew there was something fishy about this game from the moment i saw it on steam. The trailers and screen caps looked TOO GOOD.
Certainly too good for an indy startup. Hell, even the AAA devs have to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
I remember talking to other Division fans, and we noticed how it looked like The Division games, and they were likely using assets without permission. Ubisoft and Massive likely noticed too. So, not only is the game a scam, the dev(s) is using stolen assets.
It always looked like asset flip trash
The comment section you showed at 10:30 wasn't people falling for the hype, and they weren't bots. They were almost all people who realize this game is a scam, and were dunking on it.
The comments on that video are hilariously snarky lol
to clarify trailers are usually animations of a game
where as game play requires code & careful consideration
to engine development
The problem is that many game trailers are made to look like the actual gameplay while in fact they're just rigged animations. It's either in the entire trailer or just parts of it.
Basically dev-created machinima.
Well yes and no. With the assets from unreal marketplace you can easily make a working prototype scene like the one from the first video. There is a lot of different pre-made systems to do this. But the problems starts when it's time to scale it up from a single scene to a cohesive product.
@@laytonvicars4606 You are far better off learning to make things and just use store assets for larger projects
generally a good workflow is to test parts of code/blueprints before they are complete systems
what is generally forgotten about making a decent prototype scene is things like an actual render pipeline for none store bought models or simple baked in lighting
Morning Kira TV. Thanks for the content. Only found your stuff a few weeks ago loving it. Thanks!!!
Honestly kinda disappointed that the video is mostly a lore recap but then again, there really isn't much to talk about when all the devs did was release a 1 minute NPC spa video. Can't wait for November when they inevitably show another thing that's not related to this game lmao.
Their new game will be dodge the floaters in the pool
"They asked if I had any experience in game development. I said I had a theoretical degree in game development. They said you're hired!"
I wasn't interested in this game before they put the spa level in. Hopefully we can get some more spa footage before the official release--I have so many questions: a) who runs the spa? b) why is everyone sitting like a bunch of broken robots in the spa? c) Are you not allowed to talk or interact with other people in the spa? d) who built the spa, and how did they fund it? Or did they use unpaid volunteers like the game's publisher? e) the lady beside him is sitting bolt upright, unable to get comfortable despite the calming atmosphere. What does she know? So many questions. Can't wait for The Day Before the Day Before, the prequel where they delve into the roots of the spa.
All that explanation and hype for a video of a dude sitting in a bath was some of the funniest shit I've seen recrntly
6:10
Ok but, how many things get named, only to be released internationally and get "you can't name it that, there's already something named that"
Just off the top of my head,
"The World Ends With You" in japan is named "It's a wonderful life"
"Resonance of fate" also in japan was called "End of Eternity"
Not to mention, the copyright of a name is supposed to have a protection where if your naming something that has nothing to do with the other thing you can use that name (Dove chocolate and Dove shampoo/bodywash products being completely different companies but allowed to co exist cause they make different things) but for some reason when it comes to apps and games and stuff we rarely see this implemented. Like how stupid is it to cause a copyright dispute between a zombie survival game and a calender app. Like who's going to confuse the two?
That Day Before Spa video...that looks suspiciously like GTA. The text box at the top, the animations, the scene transitions...
The funniest thing is I checked out that calendar app to see if it was for real. I saw a handful of comments screaming at them that they're the reason the game was delayed.
According to Google Play, the calendar app released 2010...
Not only that, they had a year or two to trademark it and just didn't. The calendar people filed for it and they just didn't. It's so silly. Copium to the max on some of these people that think a silly trademark issue would be enough to take one year to fix. It was clearly an excuse.
Something tells me, this was just a test run. Sooner or later, there will be a 'new' studio, a 'new' game, who, after dropping a mini trailer of what may be possible, if they can get a little 'support' by linking you to their kickstarter or other monetary account. I personally call them crypto or nft games. It will appear out of nowhere and disappear into the ether, never to be seen again.
It's taking so long that the day after might come out before this.
The devs track record make it obvious this was abandon ware if it even existed.
AHHHH now this makes sense. "The day before - developers lost their mind". I though this was "The day before developers lost their mind"
Same, I was really curious to find out what's going to happen tomorrow
the spa thing reminds me of death stranding when you find a hot spring and sit to clean up and recover some stamina, this looks like it's just for the ''lol spa in the apocalypse''
guys, its just like when no mans sky happened. they over promised and under delivered. they have nothing but they're promising to give us stuff. they're not going to, they're gunna take the money and fuggin run. we can't let games keep doing this either. we can't keep having games come out half made and then fixed over time. we're not god damn testers for the game, we're the buyers of the game. if im paying 60$ i want a finished product thats updating with NEW THINGS. not things that are meant to be in the game already. not to mention im beyond tired of pay to win games n such. i know in roblox if you die you have to PAY to revive n such. its BS that needs to stop. reviving is a normal game mechanic and shouldn't be fuggin monetized.
oh also if its too good to be true then it most likely is and this "game" is just that. too good to be true. its also how i knew P.T. wouldn't happen. (legit when it came out i said and thought this right away) it was too good to be true, a perfect horror game? and then konami dumped it in favor of pachinko machines. a different "too good to be true" moment but still one of those moments. this game promises us too many amazing things so theres no way its happening lol. if it actually happens? my mind will be blown for sure.
i like how they want people to "volunteer" so they dont have to pay anyone too. granted if you have no money and say you wanna make a B movie or something then sure, put out an ad for anyone who wants to work on the movie but you have to say its for free. if its too professional then i dont trust it but if it was a neighbor just making a movie then i'd do it for free. idk if what im trying to say is conveying or not lol. i dont trust these people to actually be kind to volunteers while i feel like an average joe would be kind to them. i kinda wanna make a video game one day but id prob need people to work for free on it but id feel bad so then id have to do it myself but if i was working on a movie i wouldn't feel as bad about people working for me for free. i mean if my game made money i'd pay people who worked on it but unless that happens they wouldn't get paid lmao. then i'd have to figure out how much everyone gets especially if money keeps coming in. thats so much math and i hate math and im bad at it.
so im at 3:29 in the vid and i just realized something. (as someone who hasn't been following this story closely) they had that live event to see how many people were interested, thats what THAT was for. they saw so many people came, said there was a problem and to come back in a week and in that time (the year n what not) they were working on prop hunt. thats what they were working on this whole damn time and if not the whole time then atleast that week where they said to come back in a week to see what we have. omfg lmao its, its so much worse than i thought dude.
im excited to see what they do put out eventually as "the day before" im also excited to see if they ever even DO release it as anything or if they're gunna keep stringing people along forever. again im not deep into this story but i know if they do something again ill see a vid about it eventually.
while im also not a "graphics hore" the tech we have now? yeah theres no excuse for things to look 10 years old. back in the age of the ps1 people pushed the limits of that console and it still looked like shet because it was the tech at the time so there WAS an excuse but again. no excuse now for anything to look bad so i think its more than ok to complain highly about a game looking bad today. especially since they make a big deal about it anyways. "THIS GAME LOOKS SOOO GOOD SO YOU BETTER BUY IT. BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD!" yeah well it actually looks bad so dont buy it because it looks bad lmao.
11:30 annnd they're def learning how to make a game as it goes along. that is what that spa vid told me. no one they hire knows a thing about how to make a game and it takes em 4 months to make a new vid to show because thats how long it takes for anyone to learn anything about how to make a game with these people as their bosses. also if they have to keep hiring people all the time too, that makes it harder because then everyone is just constantly learning how to make a game and not making the game. that vid was like a kid doing a game demo for their college class or something.
Just a heads up @Kira , you've got some /insanely/ bad reverb/white noise coming through with your mic and its current setup. Voice is clear, but it's almost drowned out with the static.
When I play a survival game the thing I hanker for my character to do is go to a spar… makes perfect sense.
I thought trademarks only apply within one industry? Like you can't make a fast food place called McDonald's, but you could make a hotel called that (and this does exist already too)
Nobody drives and looks around smoothly like that in a game lmao
Gz on 50k subs you legend !!!!!!
I know it's not the point, but just imagine how nasty a hot tub in the zombie apocalypse would be.
I have to say Keira, your thumbnails cracks me up. They are so grand theft, auto five like Mr Boss, FTW
he uses the same 2 faces for every thumbnail
the fact that the devs are mobile game developers should raise some flags, look at an add for a mobile game and the ads they show don't need to be representative of what they put, like it looks like a simple puzzle game, no it's a base manager and what they showed was less than 0.0001% of the game if it's in there in the first place, making a game is hard and making a new IP is harder, and if basic proceedings can't be fallowed it's a scam, drive up hype for a fictional thing and drop it off a cliff as it'll never see the light of day, likely the game wouldn't have been something i'd play, but games generally make cynical ideas because of missed promises and rug-pulling as it does technically exist, in actuality it's minor
It's honestly really sad because the idea is there and clearly people are craving it. I think the gaming industry continues to take advantage of customers instead of creating legacies.
They have less self awareness than the bugs that fly around outside my front door.
Got Project Zomboid, thanx. This game is the standard for zombie games to exceed. Good luck anyone trying to do so.
Edit: Should just mention Alien: Colonial Marines, Fallout 76, or even Cyberpunk 2077 as examples of BS trailers.
8:33 Visual aspect is subjective. The gameplay, or what they consider gameplay (which I doubt it actually is) seems generic for the genre. It looks ok to me. Still doesn't top what Project Zomboid has done. It is still in early access, but was playable since it's beginnings in alpha.
It's VERY fun. Multiplayer is a treasure.
It's a sad sign of the times for gaming when these things have to be pointed out. Such a shame.
That walking animation and jog animation are straight rips from the Division. I played the game long enough to tell what that animation is
Didn't see that footage coming , never laughed so hard
There is nuance to the trademark issue. Overlapping trademarks are _perfectly fine_ if they're for different things that won't be confused in the market place. A calendar app is wholly different than a video game. I'm somewhat sure they have a distinction between entertainment and utility even in software, though it is always surprising at how inept and useless many laws are.
when will you learn that letting developers hype you up never ends well
Famously the Rainbow 6 Siege, Watch Dogs and The Division were the 3 most notorious games that got Ubisoft the reputation for misrepresenting what their games would look and play like. 🤨
These dudes really thought putting some girl with yoga pants would distract you from the disaster
I am just glad that i am old enough now to never get my self hyped for any game. idk why people still keep getting their expectations so high for these games.
12:10 What's worring is that there are 521 monkeys who liked that video!
The most weird part about this is that there has really been no AAA studio attempt on a zombie sandbox survival game like this, clearly people want something like it, this weird enigma of a "game" got most wishlisted, yet no real functional studio will do it. They dont even have to innovate that much, just make the game good looking, decently polished, and have all the mechanics functional and fun enough. There's few really good zombie games out there, you have Dying Light, Dead Rising (granted that series was ruined recently), L4D2, and Project Zomboid. Dead Island was alright, but kinda lacking. I heard state of decay was decent, sequel less so, but the gameplay just isnt that appealing to me and the multiplayer is busted. DayZ just straight up sucks mechanically and gameplay wise.
The multiplier sandbox version of the zombie game just hasn't had a really good entry by competent, well funded devs. We have had so many failed attempts by smaller studios that still manage to rake in funding, you think someone would see people want a good game like this and go for it, as it seems pretty low risk. It looks like the key things people want are the underlying mechanics of Zomboid (lots of zombies for actual hordes, interesting looting and scavenging, rpg esque character progression, and somewhat realistic mechanics for even little things) with the polish, visuals, and gameplay of something like The Last of Us that is smooth and refined. This game pretty much hit that concept which is why it got hyped up so much, its clear that this is the game people have wanted for a while and they latched on to the first sign of it possibly existing. But who knows what will happen with this weird studio behind it. Its not a scam, they havent taken money yet, but it could pretty easily become one.
This is what happens when eveyone you hire is lying about their resume
Releasing a video about a game you are developing that compares what it used to look like and what it currently looks like might be them warning us that the content had to be redone because the original people that were working on the game are gone and probably took their assets with them. That video coming out after a video they post about volunteering at the studio makes me think they weren't paying their developers and the developers decided to leave cause they new they were going to be exploited.
I think it is a bit disinegenuous to call Propnight a complete carbon copy of DBD, but yeah these devs are sketchy.
This game is so confusing it’s almost like one of those incomprehensible ARGs someone made in the late 2000s/early 2010s
Kira you need to keep us up to date with that Shaclone dude, he sounds deranged!
At this point I don't know who should be awarded for providing Kira with the most content: Chronicles of Elyria or The Day Before. I vote for Kira to buy a cheap award-like trophy on Wish and send it to his personal winner.
If this game is not real, the big question is, why ruin your reputation? It's not like they are selling something. They have a lot more to lose at this point.
Cyberpunk 2077 nonsense marketing has taught me that basically anything you see in a "gameplay trailer" or edited reel of play can be complete BS. I don't trust any marketing material, it's only worth getting interested in a game if it comes out and is genuinely well received.
Might as well rename the game "The Spa Before" and it'll make as much sense as the stuff they've been doing.
Great content ma man, keep that up, hope all is well.
to this day the day before is still not on steam its safe to say they gave up and scrapped the game if it even existed that is
i think alot of these companies are following tencents formula along with big season pass/pay to win games like fortnite and more considering a chinese/russian company comes out from the ashes id assume something even more dark.
Bro the biggest travesty about this latest “Spa” video from Fntastic games is that the RUclips algorithm then suggested me these Asian close-up spa videos of pimples being carved out of skin…like what the actual fuck is wrong with RUclips…
Also looking at these game trailers in contrast to that Indie “War of the Worlds” game dev updates, the difference is night and day.
Those challenge RUclipsrs who make games in Unreal Engine 5, the “Try and make ____ game in a week” only making a single level and use free/paid assets. Kinda feels like that’s what Fntastic is doing. The trailers they released were just concepts and now they had to scramble and delay to actually make the game.
Unreal 5 has lumen and nanite. That's a very valid reason to switch so skimming over that for 2 seconds isn't valid.
Either way, they aren't being honest about their appearance
Ah The Polynesian Spa!
They can’t lose their minds if they don’t have a mind to lose.
With all the hype from someone competent should buy the idea from them. It would definitely make money.
I think Fntastic is a good example for smaller game studios in all honesty... a good example on what NOT to do when making a game this big
The calendar app people did nothing wrong. They developed a calendar app, forgot to register the trademark, then the game developers came along, also forgot to register the trademark, then the calendar app people noticed the game, realised that they'd forgotten to register the trademark and so registered it. That's the timeline. Really nobody did anything wrong there.
i would not be so surprised if they had the same issues with the licence on there textures if they outsourced them i recently had to stop using all my textures i bought from pollygon coz they went back on there word and sadly i would be at a over a 50 percent loss in profits if i continued to use them aswell so i had to adjust and change how i get my textures, but to add on to the general look the reflection of the lights looks very different they look stunning on the announcement trailer and the gameplay trailer they dont not sure about that one to be honest unreal has a better render system for the lights but the right one would or should be on unreal if they said they are moving to it so the lighting should of improved as time went on, for a lower rezz look or lower polly count could just be a case of performance fixing
Where do I preorder this absolute masterpiece!??
That spa video they posted was really embarrassing
Nah, this is a well thought out process and every move is calculated.
Yes, these are f*cking scammers.
Have you checked out Spacebourne 2? Supposedly made by one person? I wonder how it is.
It’s very clearly made by 1 person.
Very neat concept, huge accomplishment as a passion project, EXTREMELY buggy. But I think it’s worth supporting.
Im kinda starting to wish we could just ban any promotional material x years before planned release.
I know that isn't really feasible with free speech and things sometimes being out of devs' control.
But like.
After a certain amt of time you basically HAVE to assume the old trailer is obsolete and no longer in play.
So enjoy your content Kira. I'm kind of fascinated by your living in Thailand. I'd be very interested in hearing about your experience living there overall. Maybe another channel? 😀
He’s there smashing Thai women. A lot of Aussie guys do it. A few of my friends have done it
Glad I legit can not be hyped up by trailers and announcements any longer. No mans sky was what made me start noticing all the BS, but by the time watchdogs came out and was nothing even close to what we were all shown and got excited for. I admit, I wanted that cool free roam gta style hacker game, what I got was absolutely atrocious.
By the time fallout 76 happened I had already lost all faith in all my favorite IPs ever achieving the amazing quality we see in the trailers of modern games.
10/10, the spa was nice
3:21 i think it corrupted. keeps buffering at that same time.
It kinda baffles me that these people instead of just developing low budget games people can play and build a reputation, just go for scamming people with hyped games that don't exist. They have the means, it seems.
I have lost all hope for this game. After the last trailer they put out. I have no reservation to get this game.
A legit company should just make this game. There’s a huge demand for it to be real.
I agree the people who are running this are likely scamming people but... the entire thing with the trademark is a lot more messy then we think. A video game name shouldn't conflict with a calendar name.
Our systems are archaic and crap and need to be fixed.
Lol, "Fantastic" reminds me of New Vegas.
The fanbase needs to take some accountability.
Nothing about this game ever held water. People started pushing hype for a game with entirely too many unanswered questions. The company is obviously manipulative and exploitative, but for it to become the most wishlisted game on steam with ZERO credibility is 100% the fault of gamers.
Ok guys. This game is not real, it's not coming out . Everyone just take it off their wish lists and let it die (great game btw) Then maybe these day before videos wont be on my home screen every 12hrs
not trying to be that guy, but feels like another case of green devs finding out how much they actually have to work to make something that seemed so easy in the original pitch. A spa? That’s why no one plays 7 days anymore…. Yeahhh
At least we can all agree....they were very good tech demos.
Oh wow sauna.
Anyway,
Can't wait for Resident Evil 4 Remake and the big update for state of decay 2 (May).
Speaking of ubisofts pirate game. That was a flop lol.
How is this scam working to make someone money? I don't get it. Are they just siphoning investor funds or something? And if so, why are the investors not immediately seeing red flags and pulling out? This is the most bizarre development saga I think I've ever seen.
Imagine still believing this game will actually come out. This is why you NEVER pre-order and always wait for the game to be actually finished. If some consumer want to be cucked by corporations, let them be. They are beyond salvation.
8:10 the funiest thing would be you saying the character has been downgraded so much that it is now a woman
When the people running the development for the game said they wanted volunteer workers, I just assumed that they were some kind of soulless abomination incapable of producing anything of value on their own, and that exposure to direct sunlight would burn them away to ashes and improve the world substantially in the process.
Absolutely. Its a clear harbinger of dysfunction and chaos. They likely thrived on stealing and copying but that broke down at some point.
But u can't really blame them if the people are signing up to volunteer....blame the people who sign up

It's a good thing to not fall into the hype for any kind of game.
I know I only heard about it once they released the shit tier gameplay.
Neither did i, from the very start the first thing i did was go and do a background check on what they had developed and how good their portfolio was.
It was not a good portfolio (thie big red flag from it was the very few games they had developed and virtually all abandoned or never updated). yeah but no thanks.
@gooHero what? Why can't you say "russians"?
There was zero actual marketing or branding. If any other hype train dev did this same exact thing, people would be losing their minds despite having no real reason to. Bethesda, naughty dog, CDPR. Doesn't matter how many times they screwed up, yall would still pre-order the next thing.
Halo 2's trailer taught me at a very young age to basically ignore trailers and wait or the game to actually come out. It sucked back then but that slightly pessimistic restraint has served me well.
This : I just dont understand people paying for something that isnt a finnished product. Hell I wait a few years before getting any games just brought jedi Fallen order for £3.49 and other games at less than half their price all major bugs fixed extra content DLc's etc for way less . The FOMO in gamers land is stong. the other thing to do on any Product do research check reviews and consumer feed back.
@@CameraObscure I don't disagree with your sentiments, but you have no idea what FOMO means if you think it applies to newly released games.
Not buying a game because it's not finished yet, not buying something because it's time-limited for no reason (ie FOMO), and not buying something until it's dirt cheap are different things altogether.
@@ShaCaro I know what FOMO means and its what game publishers especially prey upon. All I pointed at at the last part of my comment was the advantages of waiting a few years of not getting the latest games when they release = value for money not being ripped off and getting the best possible format/updated version compared to release day. Pre-release content and the "extras" unless its somthing tangable like a special Box, or Item that might be a "collectors edition thing. But never forget the crap Bethesda released for Fall out 76 products not as advertised. |FOMO is what these companies prey on for extra money from impatient guliable people.
@@ShaCaroFOMO also means being "out of the loop" of people buying and playing the latest game. You feel pressured to play and participate before the hype dies out and the community becomes stale.
There are layers of FOMO and marketing deparments know them. It's not just temporary special edition stuff. That's surface level understanding of the concept.
All I ever wanted when I was a kid was to play that damn trailer level!
At this point I am 99% convinced that their first "trailers/gameplay" videos were all fake and had nothing to do with how actual game worked or looked, it was more of a "we wanna make a game that looks like that". Now when they have so much attention on them it would be perfect advertising to release small demo/gameplay for people to see along with maybe saying when they will start accepting pre-orders. Instead we got sauna video that can be made in an hour even if there is no game at all...
I love the constant "gameplay" videos that are always shown in an enclosed area like the shop one. It's foggy as shit outside of the store to hide that it's essentially just fake.
I remember schoolmates who were always late turning in assignments, who never took anything seriously, & were constantly cheating on the tests. I wondered what would happen to them in the real world. These developers are what happened to those people.
I feel insulted Lmao since I was exactly like that in my younger years, I'm older now and currently studying in university to become a history teacher and before that I was in college for programing. These people remind me of the way I was back in Grade school and that kinda scares me, I could have ended up like that.
@@grantnorris1714 Being a history teacher won't be your only job at the same time.
Meh I did the same thing. Doesn’t reflect much but I get what your saying. More or so if those people who do that but never grow up/out of it. Now those people are screwed lol
Must have had bad friends then because plenty of people have done those things and done far better than most of us.
Ya bro you totally got revenge on those cool kid jocks
I will say I love a game that lets you fully simulate actively living in a certain setting. Anything that give you that feeling of “yes you are in a zombie survival world” is something I love, and that even includes the small dumb details that don’t necessarily fit into the core gameplay loop (but usually should). Honestly a great example of this is the game Project Zomboid which as a side note is basically what this game dreams to be. In that game there are dozens of ways to just let yourself get immersed. Small things like having a washing machine clean your clothes, having a radio that gives you updates and stories, having TV shows you can watch to break the boredom, and crafting a stir fry so you can be not sad about eating canned beans for the 30th time that week.
This game will most likely never come out, and if it did it’ll be another looter survival that will have nothing interesting to show for. If you want a game like this play project zomboid.
The fact that anyone still has any shred of hope for this game is amazing to me
more like, the fact that a lot of people (including myself) never heard about this game up until all the drama is just astounding
Propnight was fun, but only for a little while. A game you play with your friends for like 4 hours in one sitting, but never go back too afterwards
Even people fighting for their literal lives against the outbreak need a spa day!
