Horror scares you, making you want to escape(fight or flight) and terror is the sense of uneasiness and not belonging, the feeling of dread, being lost in the dark with strange noises, exploring abandoned buildings, knowing something is watching you, etc. Without terror inducing environments, jump scares and such would not be scary.

I kinda think Manly's right, I think the big smily face is _trying_ to help. Its failing, and it has a twisted idea of early _how_ to help, but it does seem to be generally on the MC's side. It has a sinister air to it, but its actions generally seem to be positive, if from a twisted perspective and with twisted ideas of happiness. It's _trying_, it just seems to have an alien idea of how to make the kid happy and what happiness even is.

The ending section had a whole vibe of "being trapped by happy people" like when you feel like you shouldn't feel anything bad because all the happy people around say you have no reason to. The actual ending felt kinda meta, like the player actually ended up trapping the character inside the computer for personal enjoyment or whatever, like guilt-tripping you for playing through the game.

gotta say, I love how in the ending the entire game flashes by... kinda like how they say your "entire life flashes before your eyes" before you die

I think the best interpretation of the ending is that the main character was trying to forget the childhood trauma of losing the dog but the last puzzle represented having to accept that as a part of life after growing up with the "waking up" segment being about remembering the happiness that came with the dog in their childhood while the body on the floor represented going "numb" with ones emotions as an adult after taking medication to deal with the trauma spent as a child and feeling trapped in trying to truly express emotion: which is being happy.

@Hellobunni

Жыл бұрын

This is interesting but I feel like the interpretation manly gave at the end was pretty close to what they were going for because although yes, it is a terrible and long lasting to any person or child to lose a childhood pet, this world is really demented for it to solely revolve around the loss of a childhood pet that only makes an appearance in the third nightmare and wasn’t involved at all in the first 2 nightmare segments. That is something any and all children whose owned a pet faces at some point, it’s an unavoidable fact of life, so why would that turmoil alone cause such a disturbing and nightmarishly intricate dream world into what is thought to be their adult years? Definitely feel like the story was probably hinting at more than just a childhood pet loss being the root of the characters issues

I used to have night terrors almost every night from the time I was very young up until the age of 13. My nightmares unironically looked similar to this. The triggers, like flashing lights, sporadic and violent movements, and barely human-looking figures were frighteningly similar. Even black figures with white faces looking at you in almost complete darkness. I had one *exactly* like that when I was 4 or 5. This is all too familiar for me.

I really think the entire game is what’s happening in this person’s mind as they die from a suicidal drug overdose. Like, it’s about a person who was deeply traumatized and depressed, and spent their entire life trying to convince themselves that they were happy-and the smiling face that was looking over each dream was THEM, their own mind, controlling the perception of these memories, trying to find happiness as they slowly die, the dreams being a nightmare hallucination fueled by the drugs. They likely blamed their depression on the things they lost as a child-the ball, doll, and dog. With the belief that if they just had those things back, they wouldn’t be miserable (and they were likely ignoring the other aspects of their trauma, like the bullying). The whole game is, in this sense, this person fighting against themselves, trying to find some scrap of true happiness in their final moments, but knowing deep down that it’s futile. It’s about someone who wants a simple solution to solve their trauma and depression, who tries as hard as they can to convince themselves a simple solution is possible, but they know it will never BE that simple in reality. The “if I just had what I lost I’ll be happy” is equated to the suicide itself in that way, in thinking that suicide is an “easy” escape. The game says that, no, suicide isn’t an easy escape-for this character, it was a horrific, drawn out parade of mortal terror and they consistently wanted to LIVE through it. But they’re too far gone to go back, and they just have to ride out the awful experience until the end. And even in the end, they can’t do anything but continue to convince themselves they made the right choice, even when they know they’re trapped and know they’re regretting it.

Been waiting for this one for awhile, looked traumatizing.

@@soc7967 This is a year late and I don't have the time to type much right now, but basically everything in the game is a metaphor for something that happened to the kid (actually a late teen or young adult) viewed through the metaphor of his chronic depression and anxiety. Even his earliest childhood memories of playing with toys seemed unusually unpleasant, hinting at abuse and/or improper care from adults that are noticeably absent from most of the game. There are some positive moments, like getting support from a small friend group, distracting himself with soccer, and even some pleasurable trips (until he overdoses). However, in the end, it's seemingly all just a dying man's dream - with the implication that his immortal soul does NOT find the peace he wants.

I don't know why I straight up watched the whole 1 hour and almost a half but here I am, I think it's because I like your humor. And somehow this game is weirdly wholesome in some morbid way, but wholesome nonetheless. Dying happily is everyone's wish after all.

Okay, honestly. Manly has the best voice for soothing a child. Actually, scratch that. Manly has the best voice for soothing *anyone.*

The fact that his tone doesnt falter when he’s being sarcastic or jokes is just gold (I mean that in a good way)

After watching and going back, I realized the adult version of the kid is imagining himself as a kid. I was wondering why there were two kid versions of him. I guess it makes sense that the kid with hair and pajamas is his actually younger self. If it goes by the s**cide narrative, then he's going down memory lane in the post death dream. Maybe he went through lot of things since childhood. Hate to make a dark note on a dark game, but MAN it's so good. I knew I would have enjoyed this game since the demo!

errr about that

This game's soundtrack is incredible. I don't even know if it is indeed music or just the amazing sound design.

MAJOR SPOILERS!! Dog made me cry When the dog nightmare began, I kept reminding myself: "The dog is gonna die. It's a horror game." Anddd then the end made me cry Just because of the dog

muh dog!!!!!!! Like, who cares about the whole childhood trauma eventually leading to a overdose amrite because the heccin pupper doggo reddit wholesome is not doing good!

From the third nightmare, at first I couldn't figure out, why dog could've abandoned him. But from what is shown later, it seems like it happened during the winter - dog fell into the lake and ended up being trapped below the ice.....

Idk why, but Manly's voice is just so soothing.. Strangely, I could listen to him talk about absolutely anything for hours

Everyone reacts different to it, but when you're extremely tired it can cause hallucinations. But usually it's at the point you can barely think straight anymore

The fact that this game inflicts feelings of childhood nostalgia in me is kinda worrying. I used to suffer from frequent night terrors as a young kid that often involved several of the things depicted here. Death, loss, slowing of time and feelings of helplessness. My nightmares eventually became bad enough that I taught myself how to lucid dream long before I even reached the age of ten.

Something about the way the kid whimpers and wails really tugs at me. It's another dimension of emoting that wouldnt be present if the protagonist were just silent

Ngl this was kinda hard to watch, mostly because of the sounds the little kid character made. Like hearing him in distress was the same sort of reaction I get to hearing my niece and nephews upset >: Still a really imaginative game.

I wonder if that was it, I had troubles watching this as well, but I couldn't really pinpoint what it was; because I can handle horror games featuring young children, but something about this was really hard. I think you might have something there with the sounds they made, something there caused a very heavy subconscious reaction.

@@FluffyDragonDrawing Yeah. Thinking on it a lot of games with children as the protags don't have the sound design this one did; add in the wide eyed innocence and looks of horror/fear when bad things start to happen while whimpering like that and it just sort of made me deeply uncomfortable and want to scoop that kid up and protect them. So, basically if you wanna do good horror with kids, don't skimp on the audio. It's *really* effective.

I usually don't sympathize with kids during horror games and I'm mostly desensitized to most scares, Amanita surprisingly went above and beyond and broke through those expectations. I felt actual pity for the kid and some of the gore and scares realky got to me, I'd love to see more of their work in horror now!

_I didn't know that is how bunnies multiplied_ I love the creativity of Amanita Designs. Poor child's dreams are so twisted and horrific, yet with touches of quirky dark humor. The puppy was great, especially that quick casual whizz it took. Very sad tho. I'll never look at a smiley face the same again. Great puzzle solving! :)

I think I watched my mum play the first one once, but I played the second as a kid. The game huanted me for years cos I couldn't find it again for years until a while ago I found it on Steam. Actually I remember we played Samorost 2 on a website that I think gave us a virus? It was never the full game. Just a part of it. Well that's what I remember anyway.. I was like 7 or 8....

Listening to Manly play a horror game while playing a game turns the game you’re playing into a horror game source: me

Thats a nice gameplay to watch before the bed. I feel very uncomfortable but also happy. Wish me sweet dreams

Damn, Manly, your patience is immeasurable. During game you are like "yes, everything is normal and works the way how it should be"

Kid is so easy to make happy. "OMFG! That was the most horrifying thing ever! Oh! Toy!"

When your brain can’t decide if it wants to be a dream or a nightmare

I wish I was as talented as this programmer/artist, I would be able to make amazing horror games from the nightmares I remember.

The last nightmare really did something to me... Seeing a friend going on the other side (that sadly being death) at such a young age and trying desperately to make them come back only to be pushed away by the reality of things and the fear of the unknown...

This game is so interesting. Even being the full version it’s pretty short. All the scenes have such interesting metaphors going on. I can see this being a cult classic

my man is trying to comfort a game child.. Huge respect. Makes me think that he'd be a great father for a child thats having nightmares.

So I think the character at the ends death is caused by a overdose. From what I heard when you overdose it feels like overwhelming euphoria, then you die.

heck yeah I named the kid isaac in my head because of how much it made me think about tboi

This game reminds me of one of my acid trips. I was in a hotel room with my friends, it was at about 8-9 hours mark so that was right at the end of the trip, my body was so fatigued but I just couldn’t sleep because the acid was still in my system, I was half-asleep, everytime I closed my eyes I would see dream like images or videos and it would be terrified things all sort of crazy stuff I could never think of, it was horrific.

This weirdly reminds me of my childhood...I used to have really bad nightmares...my nom always called them night terrors, I would wake up screaming and crying about weird things that I couldn't really remember until I saw this...I always had dreams about bad things happening to me or my parents, probably something similar to this game but I still cant remember. This game brought back some repressed memories...and I oddly really like this game because of that

What I'm getting from this is that the big ol' happy face is an entity that feeds on traumatic memories and fears, and is currently feeding on the kid. The "happy" stuff is a result of the entity trying to make it drag out for as long as it can, so it can feed more. I dunno dude, this is SUPER weird, but god, do I love creative horror.

I mean there's a million ways to interpret this, Manly's little theory and then the Drugs Theory, could be anything But what we know for a fact It is a 100% happy game

A lot of reoccurring themes here, a lot of decapitation and dismemberment, the dog keeps going underground, the whole time he is trying to retrieve lost things, the happy face keeps forcing him to sleep with some electrocution. I'm wondering if he's condemned after killing the other kid who stole his ball, burying his dog alive, and maybe poisoning the bunny? Not sure on that middle one, or any really, just throwing stuff out there.

Note that the last scene takes place on the streets, and the "protagonist" appears to be dead, either from a cardiac arrest or jumping off a building.

It’s so weird to see such a wholesome funny game these devs made THEN THEY JUST MAKE THIS

Oof ouch i feel like this game called me out specifically. I have borderline and depression (diagnosed by a professional) and i have a uh habit of coping through engaging with materials from my childhood. Like, today I literally ordered the sims: bustin out on gamecube because it was one of my favorite games. Problem is, most of the things from my childhood have like, traumas around them. Like with certain video games I have memories of playing them to drown out fighting. But! Don't feel bad, I'm in therapy, I'm doing some genuine, constructive inner child work when I can, things are getting better, I don't talk to the family who hurt me, and every single day I get stronger. Things can and do get better.

For me, it’s transformers prime/transformers. It’s all I remember.

It was a weird and eerie trip throughout the gameplay, but I've enjoyed this. Indeed, it initially seemed as if there was a separate entity that was helping the boy retrieve those precious things that he'd lost, despite having to go through such harrowing situations. But that final segment suddenly put us in our place. Giving us an ending that is "happy", instead of happy.

The dog section and the suicide hit me so hard, as someone with severe PTSD who lost many pets and desperately wanted to go back to happier times. Honestly I'm crying just thinking about it. There's a lot of depth and symbolism to this game, where at the core there is childhood trauma... and it does a disturbingly amazing job of portraying it.

I was so sad before watching this now I’m so happy this is such a peaceful totally not violent game

Through out the game I was kinda thinking it was ment to represent some sort of trauma and the happy thing I was kinda trying to make the kid happy again up until the ending where it was just him reliving his happiest memories with a dark twist which tbh makes a bit of sense like his happiest memories and things he held dear to his heart also held some bad ones

He’s doing it. My god he’s doing it. He’s playing all the full versions. Dear lord it’s glorious
