This is such a unique concept for a game, well done. I've got it wishlisted on Steam so I can watch its progress. Gives House Flipper vibes mixed with some life sim, don't think I've seen anything quite like it. What games did you take inspiration from?
Instructions: "Keep the spirits happy by doing your to-do list" Splattercat: "Eh, I don't want to sell logs despite it being on my to-do list." Also Splattercat: "OMG the painting is getting creepier! Why?" Viewers: "Splattercat would be the first victim in a horror movie."
It was painful to watch lol Like watching Game Grumps sometimes (like the one where they are looking right at a wall switch for the lights but fail to see it and proceed to play the entire game in the dark lol)
I really enjoy his videos and all the different game he shows off, but there are occasional moments when watching Splattercat play feels like looking at one of those "83.7% of people can't solve this... durrr.... " mobile game 'puzzle' ads, where the solution is so very, very obvious it almost causes physical pain.
Nah, he's the last one before the protagonist(s) finally confront the Serial Killer. That one friend who miraculously survived 80% of the movie despite being absent-minded and gets stabbed or blown away in front of the MCs.
I just played this demo. I have never played a horror game cos I'm a scaredy cat but have been trying to widen my gameplaying horizons. I got attacked by an invisible something while I was cutting grass and now my to do list is empty and I daren't buy the rifle so now have cleared the entire garden and planted about 30 tomato plants. I sort of want to keep playing but I don't want to meet the things that turn up when you buy the rifle! xxx (I am 60 with a bad heart so cut me some slack!)
i am as scardy as it comes. but what i do in these situations is either find out what the twist is going to be beforehand as to avoid the fear of the unknown, and then play, or i play without sound and with relaxing music on, as to take the edge off. Just my two cents

If you're going to be chained to a building for the rest of eternity it would behove you to maintain it. You've seen the state of that place, the ghost are just trying to give you an incentive for home improvement.
Considering that the first "ghost" you encounter (not the demon in rear-view) just stops by to say "Hey!" and then leaves peacefully....that may not be inaccurate at all, perhaps the Guardians of this homestead are strengthened by fixing and...well living in the house and surrounding area. So when you ignore your duties and go jack off instead of helping fix things the bad spirits start to circle you more (until they get close enough to get you).
This game feels more scary than it is. Other than the scarecrow and the painting, nothing really scary happened in this video, but I was stressed out the whole time, yelling "Go to bed EARLY, Splattercat. EARLY!" Well done, dev.
@@kareningram6093 i like how he attacked the ghost w an axe. tho if ida done that and ghost didn't react, next day i would find different living accommodations, even if i was eternally trapped on a farm.
The reason more people are killed by deer than most other animals is because they run out in the road and cause traffic accidents. There aren't thousands of people getting mauled to death by white-tails and mule deer every year. Moose or elk might maul you to death, but otherwise you're pretty safe from deer on foot, assuming you don't corner one or get too close to a fawn when its mother is nearby.
This exactly. Also, hard agree on not cornering them, though. Whether you're between a mother and it's fawn, or, worse yet, a buck in rut and the doe he was about to take to pound town, they WILL happily tap dance on you. Those hooves are like razor blades, and they can kick like a MFer. It's not common, but it happens. Easiest way to not end up as piggy in the middle is don't feed the freakin things if they show up in a populated area. Call a game warden/commisioner.
This is why there are some wildlife crossing in some highways. They prevent costly collisions as well as minimize animal deaths and habitat fragmentations. It was very cost effective
@@AnonEyeMouse They could & they should. To be fair, the WH40K stuff is the biggest part for me that made it interesting, including the brutal action. Everything else, comedy-gold.
Anyone else super impressed with the level of detail in the progressively-full-and-showing-the-exact-items-you-picked-up box of trash at the beginning? Odd thing to be excited about but that was just a really nice touch.
anybody else think the narrator killed himself in the opening? Feels kind of obvious. "I was going nowhere" "I bought the farm" "It cost me everything"
He also mentioned he 'sent a letter' to his Father, the 'only person that has his address' now. He left a suicide note, most likely. Later in the demo he laments that said father hasn't shown up yet, and that now there's nothing left to do but wait out the years. He also questions if this all was a good idea, but that he's trapped here now either way.
30:00 - It wants me to sell 12 logs still, but I don't wanna do that because I don't really need the money. 30:45 - Why would you do that? I did everything you wanted! Voice of a generation, you are.
Its crazy that ever since I was 12 and watching splattercat play Tropico, to even now at 21, he still gives off the same vibe as your cool older cousin. Thanks man
It probably explain why he throw the gate key into the woods and that somehow the trailer gets emptied every morning when he doesn't have a car or sees anyone else.
@@mechm1nd It's actually an idiom, not a metaphor. It comes from a US military saying that became common in American English. It means when a jet pilot would crash into a farmers field (and die), he "bought the farm" because the US government had to compensate the farmer.

@@liviuursegr "Maybe more chickens give more yield" try to picture that. with just 2 chickens, every morning he collected 2-3 eggs per nest. that's a LOT of laying for 2 chickens. now multiply that x3. every day, there'd be mountains of eggs. my guess is that the programmer had a simple logic loop- if any chickens, then fill all nests. " Splat's usual shenanigans of ignoring logic to be funny" 95% sure he's doing that on purpose for laughs.
dude litterally drives off away from everyone and buys the farm. Dude's dead, this is all just some flavor of him getting right with himself to take another turn around the wheel.
So, just a redemption metaphor. He sees images of his life flashing before him and the farm is just a representation of his psyche. Add in that heading in before dark probably has something to do with having bad sleeping habits.
Current money is on coma rather then dead, but I can see it going either way. Coma just seems a bit more hopeful, it gives him a chance of recovering which in game about coming to terms with grief and/or depression makes a bit more sense to me.
As someone who has spent 10+ years working in grocery stores splat most organic or 'heirloom' varieties of tomatoes look like that. Actually taste better too freshly picked vs store bought, some of the ones in produce can be months old if not older. Apples can be even older
The price of the old tree isn’t surprising when you realize most wood we use comes off of managed land harvested on rotation. Seriously old trees have wood with denser grain. It can be quite beautiful.
Thats the biggest reason that we can't recreate old instruments very well if at all. The wood used was already so old a lot of it isn't around any more and the dense old wood makes sounds that younger wood just can't make. Same with some old houses the newer wood just won't keep as well as old wood did.
I do not know about that, but last time I needed to buy new shelf, I noticed that metal one costed 25 euros, while exactly same size wooden one (the cheapest and low quality one) from same shop costed 60 euros. I didn't expect to (ever) live in world where wood is more expensive than metal. Especially since I live in nation which is mostly just forest. (Well, those furnitures are imported from China...)
@@anthrolover100 There are people that look for trees to cut them and prepare them for violins, string types instruments, of very high quality. So much so that, it's no less than one in a thousand trees that fits the many criterias needed. So I would say we can definitely make high quality instruments today, perhaps the best we ever done with the knowledge and technical capabilities we have now.
I knew a guy from San Francisco who was trying to hit on a girl talking about renovating a house in Sant Monica that was apparently full of black widows. And that was how he found out she knew Black Widows don't live west of the Rockies.
Yes. Black widows do live west of the Rockies. There are black widows in Oregon and Oregon is definitely west of the Rockies. The girl he was trying to hit on was feeding him a crock of garbage.
@edilogan4164 I mean there's the Western Black Widow but good luck finding 2 of those within a hundred feet of each other let alone thousands inside a single home that also had people actively living in it.
My then like 4 year old daughter asked my wife one morning "can I eat the undead?" for breakfast. Confirming that's what she heard, my wife was confused, which made my daughter reconsider and change it to "can I eat the unborn?" She meant eggs lol
@@Melissa-wx4lu Huh, kinda? But technically no. That is just a egg cell: "An egg is an organic vessel grown by an animal to carry a possibly fertilized egg cell (a zygote) and to incubate from it an embryo within the egg until the embryo has become an animal fetus that can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches."
Long grass'll definitely get you killed. Not just because it's a fire hazard either, but because it's also a great way to step on a snake you didn't see. And stepping in a random snake is a great way to get dead here in Australia.
Too creepy for me, but I do appreciate the fact that it’s only almost too creepy for Splattercat. Hope he gets back to it and missmanages the house some more =D
11:40 Should have saved up some more to buy the boneless chicken coop. It has pistons that tilt the corners of the coop to roll the boneless chickens around and get them some exercise.

Oh good, the spirits know everything that's needed to maintain the home and a proper living out there. They keep me on track with a bit of accountability and I get the rustic life? Sounds pretty fair actually.
Is anyone else super surprised that nobody was either hanging or cowering miserably in one of the pens in the barn? Possibly that's being kept for one of the nights; rather than the introduction.
I like your scrambled egg idea but here’s my base for scrambled eggs. Dash of Worcestershire sauce, pinch of basil and oregano, a couple drips of Tabasco Scorpion sauce, salt and black pepper. Now those are scrambled eggs to start your day with.
This does give me Voices of the Void vibes, a lonely horror game about mundane work in the middle of nowhere. Curious to see what it's like on release.
I'm waayyy too much of a scaredy cat to play this myself lmao (nearly shat myself at the scarecrow bit) so I'll definitely come back around if you decide to play this fully when it releases!
Ayy! This looks very interesting, & I'm not one to play spooky games because they don't make me feel anything, & I also hardly ever play farming sims, but the combination of the two coupled with the atmosphere this game is exuding has me interested in this title. Good looking out, Splat!
If you have cast iron or NON stick pans and want to have eggs that will blow your mind. Put shredded medium or hot cheddar in a pan and cook it till the bottom is crisp. Make a cone or if you have one that is tall enough for you to wrap the cheese around and then put that into an empty glass to cool. Now beet up some eggs and veggies and meet and spices as if you're making a scramble then poor that off into the cone. You can eat it on the go and its Soo Goood! I am going to get this game as soon as I can because it looks like the Dev needs funding and Wow does, he deserve it.
3:20 And that, splattercat, is one of the main reasons the veil between worlds is as secure as it is. Can you imagine the sheer quantity of nagging, micromanaging, helicopter grandparenting, practical jokes, etc and etc? There'd be precious little room to think our own thoughts and make our own choices. We definitely get a lot of help, but it's usually very subtle and unobtrusive. Or we're too ungrateful and dense to notice. A bit of both, really.
I know Splattercat doesn't do lps, but I'd watch the heck out of this one! The haunted oogaloo of the game and his dry pragmatism are such a fun combo!
@@SqueakingLion seems kinda low only because there aren't that many old growth redwoods in existence. and i'm fairly sure they are protected in most places.
When the ghost was behind the tree and you immediately went to chop down the tree😂" this tree was complicit!!" Im taking away that creeps hiding spot! I was like ok he plays exactly like me 😂
Having lived in upstate New York, I can confirm that this game is very accurate. I knew at least three people eaten by the vengeful spirits in their homes.
Hell yeah. My guy knows how to make a good egg sammie. Gotta have the mayo. I shape mine into a bun sized shape before it starts to cook through and let it steam on low heat with the lid on. Little garlic, onion, and turmeric powder before tossing in the eggs. Tiny pinch of sage powder. Throw a slice of cheese on top just before turning the heat off to let it melt over the top. Epic breakfast. If I just do a frittata (technical term) I'll heat up some tomato beans and serve those on the side. Surprisingly, tomato / pork n beans are great with eggs.
If there's speed reduction due to weight mechanics, pick up items starting from the furthest point so you're only slow one way. Is what I've learned from some games.
a house that wants to consume your soul is called a mortgage
I actually spit out my cereal 😂😂😂 I felt this in my soul
Your soul isn't worth anything. The Mortgage wants your money.

Long grass'll definitely get you killed. Not just because it's a fire hazard either, but because it's also a great way to step on a snake you didn't see.
And stepping in a random snake is a great way to get dead here in Australia.
I was not expecting a game that punished those in the low socio-economic prosperity via ghost hauntings as a game genre but It seems interesting.
Too creepy for me, but I do appreciate the fact that it’s only almost too creepy for Splattercat. Hope he gets back to it and missmanages the house some more =D
The cat turning up reminds me of the Neil Gaiman short story The Price.
Just what I needed, a new Splat Cat vid!
First two and a half minutes, and I'm jealous of this guy.
After that...
Love that carrying two logs slows your walking speed down and yet you can still hop up on the hitch.
11:40 Should have saved up some more to buy the boneless chicken coop. It has pistons that tilt the corners of the coop to roll the boneless chickens around and get them some exercise.

It was always like this. Why do you think a majority of ancient Roman statues are in the similar styles?

I hope you do a full play through of this when it comes out, that would be great to watch!
He doesn't do playthroughs on youtube
My heart rate has never been so high watching a farm sim. Hope you play more of this.
Anyone else yelling in this video: "GO THE F*(k TO BED!", "GET IN THE F(&ING HOUSE!", and "DO THE F'ING TO DO LIST!"
Oh good, the spirits know everything that's needed to maintain the home and a proper living out there. They keep me on track with a bit of accountability and I get the rustic life? Sounds pretty fair actually.
Huh. Well that's ...
A) Interesting
B) Different
C) Fucked up
Wishlisted!
Ditto! LOL. :)
Is anyone else super surprised that nobody was either hanging or cowering miserably in one of the pens in the barn?
Possibly that's being kept for one of the nights; rather than the introduction.
yeah. no thats is udder terrifying. im good. I was scared just watching you. heaven forbid I was actually playing. Thanks for doing this one splat.
I like your scrambled egg idea but here’s my base for scrambled eggs. Dash of Worcestershire sauce, pinch of basil and oregano, a couple drips of Tabasco Scorpion sauce, salt and black pepper.
Now those are scrambled eggs to start your day with.
Are you making bloody Mary with eggs? :)
wait wut, they've put trinidad scorpion in tabasco sauce? how long has this been available and why haven't i been notified!!!?
@@DerMacko Mate, it's amazing. Most flavoursome hot sauce I've ever come across.
This does give me Voices of the Void vibes, a lonely horror game about mundane work in the middle of nowhere. Curious to see what it's like on release.
Thanks for the Home Improvement ref at 26 minutes Splatts
I'm waayyy too much of a scaredy cat to play this myself lmao (nearly shat myself at the scarecrow bit) so I'll definitely come back around if you decide to play this fully when it releases!
As someone who grew up near Albany, the upstate new York mention was surprising 😅
Steamed hams?
But "Is it accurate?" is the real question. 😁
Plot twist: he figuratively "bought the farm" on the road after that missed exit
So... a farming game that has good graphics, with a story and some horror stuff in there? that's new
16:05 Venture Capitalist Ghosts.
Ayy! This looks very interesting, & I'm not one to play spooky games because they don't make me feel anything, & I also hardly ever play farming sims, but the combination of the two coupled with the atmosphere this game is exuding has me interested in this title. Good looking out, Splat!
This guy is hilarious! I didn't plan on watching the whole video, but I did. That STALKER reference and accent switch cracked me up 😄
this has to be the most hilarious clip you've done yet Splat. love it!
If you have cast iron or NON stick pans and want to have eggs that will blow your mind. Put shredded medium or hot cheddar in a pan and cook it till the bottom is crisp. Make a cone or if you have one that is tall enough for you to wrap the cheese around and then put that into an empty glass to cool. Now beet up some eggs and veggies and meet and spices as if you're making a scramble then poor that off into the cone. You can eat it on the go and its Soo Goood! I am going to get this game as soon as I can because it looks like the Dev needs funding and Wow does, he deserve it.
The game looks so good! Already wishlisted but your contents just grwat to watch
Hepaciphaghonatetinaids had me CACKLING 😂
3:20 And that, splattercat, is one of the main reasons the veil between worlds is as secure as it is. Can you imagine the sheer quantity of nagging, micromanaging, helicopter grandparenting, practical jokes, etc and etc? There'd be precious little room to think our own thoughts and make our own choices.
We definitely get a lot of help, but it's usually very subtle and unobtrusive. Or we're too ungrateful and dense to notice. A bit of both, really.
I love that this game is blowing up on RUclips. But Splat got there first! Everyone else has to play catch up.
I know Splattercat doesn't do lps, but I'd watch the heck out of this one! The haunted oogaloo of the game and his dry pragmatism are such a fun combo!
As a former resident of Upstate NY, I applaud the accuracy of this documentary game.
thanks Splatt, I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway.
The instant you said you were from California, I became unable to ignore how many times in a sentence you say “dude” 😂
Telling me you were shocked to find out the going rate on the chopped red wood, and then not telling me. You have ruined my life; I am incomplete.
According to Google, an average-sized old-growth redwood tree would sell for around $10,000... wow!
@@SqueakingLion Wow! You are a legend! Who would have imagined. That is remarkable.
@@SqueakingLion seems kinda low only because there aren't that many old growth redwoods in existence.
and i'm fairly sure they are protected in most places.
This actually looks really fun. I had goosebumps at one point. Wishlisted.
I would enjoy a Splatty Let's Play of this.
When the ghost was behind the tree and you immediately went to chop down the tree😂" this tree was complicit!!" Im taking away that creeps hiding spot! I was like ok he plays exactly like me 😂
You should review "Suit for Hire" That game needs more recognition. John Wick + Hotline Miami + Midnight Fight Express
Love that you just smack the ground with the rake to plant tomatoes.
this looks really cool! Thanks for sharing Splatt
Your discomfort playing this was very entertaining.
Having lived in upstate New York, I can confirm that this game is very accurate. I knew at least three people eaten by the vengeful spirits in their homes.
Lmao "hepa-syphi-gono-tetan-AIDS"
"We got woodland chunkies in here man" 😂
What an interesting game concept. Gonna keep my eye on this one.
Wow. I can’t WAIT to play this.
This is an excellent concept! Looking forward to the full game.
@9:23 because of car accidents not from attacks ;)
Hell yeah. My guy knows how to make a good egg sammie. Gotta have the mayo. I shape mine into a bun sized shape before it starts to cook through and let it steam on low heat with the lid on. Little garlic, onion, and turmeric powder before tossing in the eggs. Tiny pinch of sage powder. Throw a slice of cheese on top just before turning the heat off to let it melt over the top. Epic breakfast. If I just do a frittata (technical term) I'll heat up some tomato beans and serve those on the side. Surprisingly, tomato / pork n beans are great with eggs.
14:01 my house is surrounded by redwoods and it's really hard to maintain them, but when we chop and sell? Worth it
Lol I swear I spent two minutes yelling at you to close the door 😂 this game looks great, thanks for sharing!
Realistically a chicken coop up against the house is the worst placement I could think of lol. Chickens stink and they’re loud af.
If there's speed reduction due to weight mechanics, pick up items starting from the furthest point so you're only slow one way. Is what I've learned from some games.
This is a genuinely cool concept
Nooope. Nope. Nope. Heeeeeeeell nope.I harvest nope and it's a bumper crop this year.
LOL you missed the opportunity to sing mow mix mow mix please deliver lol
Oh, I'm keeping this game on the radar! This looks GOOOOOD!
The moment I saw the title, I jumped with joy to see our boi Splatt play this !!!
