I can't even imagine. I had an stalker back in the day. I'm a guy and he was also male. I was seeing that person literally every single day, everywhere. At the stores when I was doing basic groceries, and even at my uni during the lectures (Lectures are free in my country so anyone can get in and listen, even if you are not a student). When I seen him next to home, I just called the Police, and then it stopped. I even got few weird emails back in the day when I was streaming and doing yt vids a bit but idk if those things were connected. Anyway, that was very light case of stalking and I can't even imagine how bad it can be for your when you get very "invested" stalker. One is very bad, group of them would be the reason to spend all of your savings on the private security team. Police can't help you until they do anything to you, which is awful >.

I replayed The Closing Shift recently so I believe this game takes place after. Since the two girls Mayumi and Mari were a part of the high school girls you had to serve, now their in college I suppose. Especially since they made fun of Mayumi's weight in that game too girl can't catch a break Edit: Another detail is that the drunk guy in the cafe is saying how much he misses "Hassaku" I looked up a play through of The Closing Shift and that was the name of the investigator who dies and the police never found his body.

Meh, while their themes do tend to be dark, their approach is just way too corny/schlocky so the tone just ends up all over the place. Point in case here is Asuka calling MC a noob right after her whole stalker ordeal, or Asuka being a typical horror character throughout the story, or the janky af walking animations that are still being used. Still this is one of their better games, it had some tense moments and the plot was intriguing enough. I just don't think their games are "deep" or their "commentary" is anything deeper than your average Dora the Explorer episode.

There's a degree of hilarity that it REALLY ended up being all of them being in on it. Like, as Manly pointed out, Chilla likes to often go with the most obvious solution being the reality. Like when the dude stole the trashbag at the start, I knew right away that was a red haring because Chilla always likes to shove one or two random creeps in just to put you on edge. But still, this is the first time where it really ended up being a literal conspiracy against you. The notion is so out there. that from the offset you're like "Haha what if they're all in on it, but no way that would be ridiculous." And then, it really was just that ridiculous. I'm finding I enjoy Chilla's "not supernatural" offerings more and more. They're good at making spooky unnerving ghost games, but they're REALLY good at making stories just realistic enough to feel like they could be based on an actual happening, and that makes them so much worse/better.

I know in the US "community service" kind of has the implication that you're being punished but that's not necessarily the case. For example: you can actually volunteer for community service if you're just invested in your local community. Some employers even encourage and reward their employees to preform community service in their down time. The point of community service is to serve your community after all. The point behind assigning it as a punishment for some infraction is as a form of restorative justice to either clean up a mess that you yourself made, as a form of -slavery- paying the community back by preforming free labor, or as a way of forcing a person (who may be inclined towards crime) to connect with their local community and thus be less inclined to harm that community in the future. I know a lot of people think of punishment when they hear "community service" so I think a lot of people just call it "volunteer work" when its not compulsory to avoid the misplaced stigma associated with the term "community service". For non-native English speakers and/or non-Americans, I'm not surprised the distinction got lost in translation. anyway, have a 🍪 for reading that.

I really really love how this game makes you suspicious of every single character. I used to have a stalker, and recently I’ve been dealing with severe harassment at work. The way you become suspicious of even your closest friend in this is just too realistic, because you truly do start over analyzing everybody and looking for “proof” that they’re in on it or have some malicious intent towards you. You become scared that everyone is out to get you, or at least that some people are and you don’t even know who. I haven’t finished the video yet, only an hour in, but I was admiring how real the effects of the stalking felt when Manly pointed out how paranoid the game makes you over everybody. Edit: after watching it fully, I’m a bit disappointed that almost everyone actually was in on it, however I do like that it gives feelings of validity to the situation. Instead of being “over dramatic” and “paranoid”, the fears were proven to be true… though it would be nice if women (and men) didn’t have to be attacked to be taken seriously.

99.99 times out of 100 if you have a stalker it's going to be a lone weirdo I would think. I guess I can see how it would make you paranoid though, it's just self-preservation. I'm very glad to be broad shouldered and tall (and male obv) - I can walk past a group of guys on the street and night and stare right back at them as I pass, forcing them to move out of my way instead of the other way round. And I can go for a midnight walk with no worries. Must be very hard and scary to be a woman on her own in such cases. I think I'd probably just not go out anywhere after dark unless it was a public and well populated place and even then I'd be on guard. Would probably carry some sort of defensive equipment and an emergency contact device/alarm to be sure.

In the game the person named "ILoveNiina" said "Did you enjoy your bath yesterday?" and it immediately set off red flags. I'm surprised that Manly didn't even spot it. Also that "What makes me a good Demopan?" was hilarious lol

Knowing from personal experience of being there, the highest level creators don't even walk con floors anymore or interact much and if they do they wear literal masks. In the Vtubing space if a creator's real identity has spread around enough they're sometimes advised to also not go out in any event public event on the floor as small things they do or people they talk to could lead to a security breach of the more hidden remaining creators. I've heard of instances of them even using different phones so if they lose it or it gets stolen their socials that have access to the rest of the creators doesn't compromise them.

Chilla loves those kind of tricks. I think there was one with the Closing Shift with the mom and her baby carriage, or that one loud scare when you're in an elevator while playing as a delivery man delivering stuff to a rundown apartment.

This game feels like it's based on someone, actually this game feels like it's based on a lot of people.

You know, I actually really like the themes of this game. I was totally convinced this was going to go down the whole 'the horrors of streaming, anonymity, and evil people on the internet', but the truth is that being a streamer really has nothing to do with what happened to her. It was just the manipulations of a toxic ex, and the way to get the good ending is to stand by her one friend- a pretty great friend, by the way. It could've easily gone into the usual tropes, but instead came out with a pretty neat story.

The girl with the ponytail whipping up the coffees at the shop is definitely the protagonist of the other game. And I'm pretty sure Manager-Senpai is the one ringing you up. It takes place at the same time!

So Basically The Ex Boy Friend Got His Whole Family Involved To Stalk His Ex Girlfriend

Thanks for playing this game Manly. One of the better Chilla's Art game I have seen in a while, and one that ends with a happy one. Pretty frightening especially a vtuber getting her identity revealed (albeit by someone else purposely) and getting stalked. The game gives a lot of red herrings who might be the stalker, or maybe two? Since their actions makes them even more suspicious, even Asuka is not exempt from it, due to her lack of awareness on the seriousness of Nina's stalker situation. But turns out there are even more of them. Kind of scary as they were working together. They even got one guy to pose as the stereotypical hooded guy as the "stalker" role that scares Nina so she will trust anyone else who can "help" her.

All that's left is fixing the janky animation and they're golden. Flashback to their older games, it's hard to be scared or take in the amazing atmosphere when you see a guy moonwalk out of the room, or just de-spawn around a corner.

I think parasocial is one of the best games chilla's art has put out. it's a very solid thriller, and had me on the edge of my seat at its story the whole time. trying to put the puzzle together to figure out the truth. and had me tense during the home invasion. really solid buildup, and as you said, lack of jumpscares which I think was definitely to its benefit (like the door opening/closing in the bath scene. it was exactly the right kind of slowness to make that horrifying realisation of what was happening. my only sadness about that is you can't have her notice it)

That ending was SO good!? I liked how it was not a fade to black with the explanation, instead giving us the news segment, while keeping the other ending with the fade to black, y'know? It gives a bit more of flair to the "true" ending while explaining the other ending in a way that made sense for it. One stalker is not as news worthy as the twist on the true ending. Also the twist was so so good? Like I was kinda expecting something like that, but I did not expect just how connected everything was. Chilla's Art is getting better every game they release.

I agree that they could have added even more paranoia to the streaming portion, some noises that the character notices or sometimes doesn't notice but only you as the player do. Finding random objects left behind or your own stuff being subtly moved around and more. There could have been some scares using the closet and the reflection in the desktop monitor. Overall though, the buildup in suspicion of every single person you know was really good, and the multiple endings where you either get entrapped or solve the mystery was good writing.

Yeah I would have loved a ghost being involved in this history as well. Or maybe... there was supposed to be one but nobody is talking about it?

I like the lil cameos to actual VTubers Chilla puts into their games. Two of my favorites, Kureiju Ollie and Selen Tatsuki got cameos in this one

I wonder if the guy who stole her trash in the beginning is an actual stalker. He was also very clear in the news footage at the end. Or, he was just a weirdo going through trash to make you more paranoid and then was just used as a character model at the end. 🤷‍♀️ Good game!

Chilla's common tactic is using red herrings to conceal their actual antagonists. Manly mentioned it at some point during the video. My guess of the dude who went through her trash is one of those people that wants things like tin cans and paper egg cartons, because that's an actual common thing in my country. They either resell those or melt the cans and make them into boat/car models.

@@theotv5522 that’s interesting I wouldnt have thought of that o:

Stalking, out of all realist horrors scares me the most, especially in an age of social media. This hit my fear spot. Great let's play as always, Manly!

1:22:33 is like "hey Niina I know you're feeling insecure after everything that's happened to you, which is why I'm so thrilled to tell you about our sponsor - NORD VPN"

Always a pleasure to watch Manly play a Chilla's Art game at night!

I just wanted to drop a comment to say I have been watching you for years, and when I have a migraine or can’t sleep, I rewatch your play throughs because you have the most smooth, soothing voice that makes me feel all warm and safe and cozy! But also I live in Japan and the moment the stalker banged on the door, my Uber eats arrived and when I tell you I nearly screamed-!!!

Man that ending gave me immediate flashes to the movie "invasion of the body snatchers" they were only missing the weird howling and finger pointing.

The stalker acts weird in the chat the whole game, it’s very interesting. At 36:20 he says “Did you enjoy your bath yesterday?” Not to mention his name ILoveNina. It’s pretty bone chilling to see his chats throughout the game getting creepier.

This game is just showing the reality of how far these so called "fans" can go just to meet their oshi..or ruin their lives if they don't get what they want. Take Kagura Mea for example when the Doxxers discovered her place, they went from sending her death threats to sending her literal shit.

There was a female streamer in America that had a follower who traveled across America just to torch her car. Also, the streamer/Ytber plays a huge role in cultivating their fanbase. For example, if you're a cynical and deranged like Pyrocynical, then you get fans who will bully you into oblivion; but if you act mature and openly states you want your fanabse to act mature as well (JohnWolfe for example), then your fans will not act like the former, and any attempts to do so will be quickly shut down by the majority. I haven't watched Kagura Mea so I don't know what fans she cultivates but the wiki shows she tends to rage and swears when she's playing, so that can be why her fans acted like that.

omg this is the first chillas art games that actually scared me a few times already and im not even done with the vid! Love these games and your vids :)

Lmao, I loved how Manly took the time to scold Asuka when he untied her in the bathtub lol! It was pretty stupid to just leave like that for food when they could have ordered 'Uher Eats'. This game was great, Chilla's Art always hits the realism with it. I prefer it to their other type of horror.

My new favorite chilla game!!!!! This one was excellent. All the art and time that went into just the packaging in the convenience store is crazy. I love chilla games!!!!!

Holy, there are a bunch of references to Chillas other games like the closing shift and aka manto, stigmatized property, the convenience store(?), and I haven’t even finished the video

As a software developer I can assure you, you want to have physical/mechanical security, "Automatic" screams unsafe in every way conceivable.

Yet another great game from Chilla's Art. Great tension throughout, a crazy reveal that escalates it all, and the rare genuinely good ending to one of these. I also love the sheer audacity of ending on a character promoting another game.

When the guy ran into the elevator it scared me lowkey 😭

Reading the stalkers messages in live chat actually pissed me off a little lol

if you pay attention to the chat in the store level someone says "did you enjoy your bath yesterday?"

Anybody else notice that she keeps her house reaaaaally warm?

I saw that on Steam in upcoming and I was like "this is definitely manly's type of game". Lo and behold this drops today haha.
