The construction of the somewhat local pylons I have had the opportunity to drive past as a child always reminded me of big, smiling clowns. I also thought of them as robots that could uproot themselves from their spot and walk away, laughing happily. It helped me stop being so afraid of metal structures 😂 (I was terrified of all sorts of bridges and technical-electrical things. It was odd, to say the least 😂 the complexity of the build and internal wiring was what scared me, lol.)

Yeah I'm pretty sure this game is specifically inspired by a specific children's PSA from the 70s I believe. A girl and a boy are playing outside with a frizzbe until it gets stuck in a pylon. The boy ignores all the danger and safety warning signs and attempts to climb the pylon to get their frizzbe back. He gets electrocuted and dies

This awakens a deep fear of mine... Whenever I used to travel by trains, I saw pylons all across the countryside. I used to imagine that pylons were some sort of sleeping, metallic lovecraftian creature that would attack the train and kill us all. Especially the pylons that had two of those pointed "horns" at the top. Those used to make me very anxious. The one-horned ones were fine though.

Well the thing is, junji ito didn’t know or understand typical horror. So, he went off of what he thought was scary. That’s why it’s even more horrifying to us. It taps in to exitential fear and plays with the unconventional, “out-of-left-field” horror because the creator who made it wasn’t influenced by the horror genre in the way everyone else has. Most are so desensitized that they romantically fantasize horror movie antagonists.

Thanks, Phineas and Ferb. 🤣 I don’t know who wakes up and says “I got it: a horror game about pylons”, but I salute you. This game was great!

The aglet's true purpose is sinister.

This remind me of a satirical cartoon in a newspaper here in Norway several years back. It was about the controversial decision to build some giant power pylons, and depicted one of our polititians as a power pylon following another polititian.

When I saw the part with the frisbee, I was reminded of the British PSA about not playing around pylons that showed a kid climbing on one to get, I believe, a soccer ball and getting electrocuted to death. A radio news program after the kid is fried makes it quite clear he died.

This game really freaks me out, and the reason why is pretty interesting. See, I can't exactly remember what it was, but SOMETHING I played or watched had these exact sounds, graphics, and unnatural, old aesthetic. I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER seeing a character that EXACTLY resembles the pylon with a face. Maybe it was the video game section in the "history of rats" video from Ratatouille, or possibly some game or cartoon from the Thomas The Tank Engine franchise.

I was laughing SO hard at the way you were saying Pylons and being funny about it. AHAHA 9:20

Since there are two chasers in this games, I guess you could say they're PYLING on!

I don’t remember super fly being like this

Just finished playing this myself! It's cool to see the different outcomes of choices.

The creepy thing, they made a pylon at the park next to my house... 😱 The Pylon man is gonna spirit me away!

Ever wonder what Superfly Requiem would look like? Well here you go!

I like the walking sound tho ;) 10:40 Sounds like a marching drum

This is such a cool concept OMG

the mains hum from those pylons gave me goosebumps i dont know why

When I was very little I thought pylons were skeletons of huge monsters. Scared the crap out of me.

I love how it's basically a Lovecraft novel but with pylons, that's kinda fun

Yup, i can see Ito makin' a Manga out of this~

why am I getting 'nam flashbacks of zergrushes....

Imagine meeting biggaming64 with this man, it's gonna be just total best cross over

That’s what they’re called.... I remember when I used to go on the freeway and see them. Also thought that they were “people” because of their shape. Weirdly nostalgic this is

There is indeed a very Junji Ito vibe.

Once more! I really think you'll like Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn! This was also really amusing, weird but amusing

8:59 that thing gave me the bloom from sorcerer's apprentice vibe Both unnerving 12:53 lol "mortis" game over screen makes me laugh for some reason This might be one of more creepier horror games I've seen in a while.. those monsters in old low tech 2D graphics (I think) make me feel more uneasy than ones in 3d games

I'm liking the faith vibe I'm getting from this game!

Remember to make your blood sacrifices to the pylon gods, kids, and maybe they might spare you.

I must say, this is a pretty interesting game. Very unique concept.

*insert gif of the pylons playing jump rope that creates an auditory illusion*

Manly, you should build additional pylons!!

Time to dig up the ol' pylon mix in celebration of this masterpiece.

I feel the creator of this game must have watched the same electricity safety video my school was made to watch, which included bits about how dangerous pylons were. I was afraid of electricity for ages afterwards, thinking e.g. that if I was anywhere near a pylon it might zap me. (But I was the kid who thought poisonous rainforest frogs were going to come up my street, enter my house, and poison me in my sleep, despite me living in a northern English town).

So many people chasing you, this just keep piling on!

I was on a train ride and went past a huge field with abandoned pylons and thought about this video and couldn't sleep for the remaining 4 hours of the ride
