The second game is about nuclear graveyards. The horror aspect comes from the fact that we did not think well enough about the warning signs they have: we assume the people of the far future will know any of our languages (graveyards usually include a plate in several languages just in case one of those sticks around in the post-apocalyptic future, but Holly didn't know how to read them), and that they will understand what a yellow triangle with a hand or a skull mean (which is reasonable, but in this game, everyone has mutated into shapes). Holly acknowledged the place looked hostile, as they are designed to look scary to prevent people from wandering in, but chances are it will also make them intriguing and exciting for future generations, and that soon you would have tomb raiders or archeologists trying to break into the vault to get the shiny stones that make you feel funny when you hold them. Doesn't help that the messages recommended by the Sandia National Laboratories are cryptic enough that they would look like mumbo jumbo from zany ancestors trying to protect a sacred place. Essentially a real life version of the Pharaoh's Curse.

Also: They are hanging their lanterns on barbed wire and their soup was being prepared next to a broken glove box. It's no coincidence that they don't find the nuclear graveyard odd- they used parts of it to make their home! Mahala is suffering from radiation sickness, which has common symptoms of fatigue and fever. Despite only taking in tiny amounts by never entering the graveyard, he has still been around it so much that he has become sick. He either understands that this is some kind of poisoning or doesn't care about being sick-- he's not the only person that's "sick" but doesn't mind coughing next to everyone. The dolls may have been effigies of corpses intended to scare future humans away, but because humans are no longer recognizable in the game the message is lost. Hollis remarks about how heavy the gliders are despite them being empty-- they aren't heavier. Falling into the plant dosed him with a massive amount of settled radioactive dust and he is now heavily contaminated. Every breath of air would damage his lungs (or whatever lung-like things he has) rapidly sapping his strength. Not sure what the doll at the end is, I have a hunch that Hollis is mistaking human remains in a glove box for another doll and we're seeing through his mind's eye (again, the human form is foreign to him so it's just "a doll" in there). If it is remains, then why are they in a nuclear graveyard? If not, why is a doll / effigy sealed in a glove box? The doll could be a hallucination, too.

The second game went from charming to almost beautifully haunting. Going from expecting a beast in the woods to facing the reality of a post-nuclear-apocalypse future. The silence of the facility and the sense of isolation helped to give the ending the kind of impact that I morbidly appreciate. It was sad, but all around an enjoyable, short experience.

I think the toy planes with the seeds were the remnants of bombers dropping bombs. Over time, the image of bombs falling out of a plane became merely round objects falling out of a plane. And now, the current survivors use seeds to recreate the image, even though they don't understand where it came from.

That’s probably why they do it over a fire pit to, because if you freeze frame an image of a plane dropping bombs, you see a plane, round objects falling out and an explosion beneath the “seeds” which is fire. They celebrate their history by looking at the books they don’t understand and doing their best to recreate it.

Oh man. The original wood gatherer was sick with radiation sickness. Radiation is probably what he was referring to in the woods off the path. He knew something was out there, but couldn't understand what

I really like how NailHead smartly used the shortness of the game by focusing on the aftermath of the killing spree and trying to destroy the cursed object.

Oh, I once read about something like the second game. How in the future, maybe someone will find the plaques that read "This place is not a place of honor." but not understand it as us, who mostly know it means a nuclear graveyard, and just think the place is just another abandoned building. That's why Holly doesn't understand the symbols: people have mutated into them, apparently, and on top of that he has been living with those as something normal for his whole life. Also, when he sees the radioactive waste and says those look like the presents at home, I think it's because they have been giving nuclear waste to each other... that's probably why some of them are sick, and probably why they are all weird shapes and all. A very grim and sad game, and a very interesting take on horror games.

_”u okay?”_ Rebecca, literally: 💀

The second game had a lot to think about, and there was some strange bits about it. obviously this is post apocalyptic, perhaps a nuclear winter came to be. The main bit of discussion is the nuclear site, the kid talked about a wide variety of things, like the Hazmat suit and the worker helmets. Also they mentioned how the barrels looked like the presents at home. Unlike popular opinion, the presents at home are not radioactive. The fact that they are in boxes is what made the kid think they were presents, much like how the kid thought the Hazmat suit looked like their coat (albeit not very cold protecting). We know that the presents aren't radioactive because radiation sickness is a thing in the village, specifically the previous gatherer. The gatherer, leaving the village every year, gets exposed to high amounts of radiation. The fact that he has been sick for over a year and it is actually getting worse is telltale signs of radiation poisoning, none of the other residents have it. The thing that puzzled me the most was the dolls, which we can assume were corpses. I was confused because the kid isn't giant sized like manly thought, the doors in the facility told me that much. The ending, however, told me everything. The ending showed a doll in a container that you can put your hands through and then it clicked for me. It looked eerily similar to an intensive care nursery's boxes, and the doll was very baby sized. The kid was picking up infant corpses thinking they were dolls. What also confuses me is why was there an intensive care box deep inside a radioactive facility.

@MrEvan312

8 ай бұрын

It's not specifically an intensive care unit, but a similar device intended to work with radioactive or hazardous materials. While an intensive care unit is sealed against pathogens or foreign bodies getting in to prevent infection, this one is sealed and protected to keep hazardous materials inside but still able to be interacted with.

2nd game was certainly far in the future, where the current occupants didn't know what those symbols meant which led to a poorly planned nuclear waste dump site. The character mentioned the presents which means the radioactivity is already in the village and likely has affected them all. Them being there with likely leaking containers (it was poorly sealed) means they are doomed and likely suffering already from radioactive poison (so could have been half hallucinations). There's a whole thing about what symbols to put on such dangerous sites for future humans, as they will remain dangerous far in the future.

Maybe to give it replay value give different locations as object scenarios.

The second game has the best kind of "monster"; one that has no motivation and cannot be reasoned with. It's just sort of there, waiting patiently for someone to find it. And it's there due to mistakes of our ancestors. It's like a ghost haunting a place as a punishment for past crimes. This makes it so much more scary than traditional horror monsters.

Absolutely love the cheery, then morbid atmosphere of Do They Know. The title of the game alone, combined with the setting, is enough to make me uncomfortable.

The finale is probably referring to what kind of visual design or signs we at this point of time trying to communicate the place where we bury or store nuclear waste since these icons need to be understood far into the future

The symbols eventually loosing their meaning with the passage of time due to culture change and etc. is actually a topic constantly discussed by scientists.

The scary part of the second game I think was the dramatic irony. The place the character fell into was a nuclear waste containment facility. The hostile architecture around it (spikes out of the ground) and the almost nonsensical words on the floor were reminiscent of the (in my opinion, very ineffective and hard to understand) verses we have written to try and make sure it's clear to future humans that the area is dangerous and not full of treasure or history. (This place is a message…and part of a system of messages…pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. The danger is in a particular location…it increases towards a center…the center of danger is here…of a particular size and shape, and below us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.) Even the skull, representing death and danger, and the nuclear radiation warning symbols were there. The character does not recognize any of these messages and symbols, and their exploration of what to us is clearly a very dangerous place is whereas they are only mildly curious and anxious to get home, is what horrifies me. Their language, culture, even bodies have changed so much that they don't recognize the warnings we left. (That's probably why the people had to leave the forest and the old world, to escape the radiation. I might even also say that they are in a nuclear winter.)

This place has no name. That line is chilling because that's taken directly from recommendations on how to make nuclear waste sites look hostile to future civilizations. The spikes are also a recommendation. Everything is trying to say "get out of here" but how can we know that thousands of years in the future that a human skull would have any meaning? We can write warnings in all the languages of the world and there's no guarantee that anyone could understand it. Even the hostile architecture could be mistaken as something to be explored.

Long-term nuclear waste warning messages are something we have yet to perfect, there's no way of knowing how people 10,000+ years in the future will interpret messages we leave behind.

_"I'm not seeing any twigs... just darkness"_ When MBH realized he had gone too far into the weird woods and had no hope of turning back. That second game was definitely post-apocalyptic. That end "box" looked like a more 'normal' human body of a baby in a neonatal intensive care unit incubator. That really got me. I also wondered - why send a child there? It seems you're supposed to go back, because the old firewood gatherer told you to stay on the path, but that character was coughing, etc. Maybe the person selected to go gets changed by the nuclear waste? I'm not sure, but I liked it!

I think the point of the second game's title is exactly what you wonder - Do They Know? Do the adults back home know what they are doing by sending Hollis out there? I suspect that Hollis is actually human shaped at the very least given the intro tutorial diagrams, which unfortunately allows them to activate the nuclear area at the end (a place for two hands/arms to go in). As well, I think what was spray painted on the ground is similar to what is what Sandia National Laboratories has tried to communicate non-linguistically (like someone else has said in a different comment) This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

You're suppose to remove the first 2 inches of dirt from the surface after a bomb's fallout settles and essentally bury it in a lead lined cell or holding facility. What you do not do it mix it into the healthy soil. They made documentaries about this many many years ago about the morning after.

For the second game, those dolls looks like human remains. All those stuff looks like some form of nuclear waste underground storage. The final box looks like those radioactive processing boxes with glove-holes. In any case, a strange game and while it could imply the misunderstanding of future species about the danger of long-living nuclear waste, there are still a lot of unexplained stuff (like the planes/drones or why those stuff are in chains, or why that ending?).

A theory I read in the comments was that their tradition of making paper airplanes that drop seeds after it glides above a fire is in reference to their own history although twisted with time. Originally the paper planes represented bombers and the "seeds" were the bombs, the fire representing the nuclear apocalypse. Now the descendants, with little knowledge of the past are living through a nuclear winter and have no clue of the true meaning of their traditions. The only record of what happened is within the picture book at 15:08

That's a very dangerous misconception. Radioactivity is invisible. You can get a lethal dose from something that does not glow at all. You get glows from ionizing radiation under two conditions 1) Chernekov radiation, which occurs when a charged particle passes through a medium at a speed faster than light. You see it when you look at a nuclear reactor for example. 2) The air getting ionized into a (blue) plasma -- requires an extremely strong source of radiation, well above an immediately lethal dose Everything else is fluorescence or phosphorescence, or just plain heat. The neon green glow in media is basically just a meme.

NailHead was fun, it's cool to see a horror game open where most would have ended. The attempts to end a curse work well for a shorter experience. Do They Know meanwhile was more of a slowburn, and the atmosphere carried it perfectly. I think our protagonist was meant to go there, that their civilization, not understanding what exactly the place is, are sending sacrifices.

i love (/s) that we make nuclear waste graveyards look as cool as possible. like, cryptic messages and symbols? weird, unnatural spikes and shit? if i were someone from the future with no understanding of radiation it would seem like a cool place to go adventuring, to find ancient treasure or something of historical significance. we have got to come up with something better than what ancient (to us) people did to guard their tombs and holy sites. it certainly didn't keep us out, why would it keep the people after us out???

"This is not a place of honour" As someone in the comments bellow already explained- the Do They Know concerns the far future where non speak the language and symbols we use today, a future where finding the hazardous nuclear waste disposal site might not be understood as dangerous as non can understand the warning signs left there. One game is already set in similar situation- character entering a disposal site they shouldn't have, with if I recall correctly nearly word for word placks that are usually left near these sort of sites. The game was titled Mutated Reality btw, I know of it's demo so far.

21:56 Dammit manly now ya got me wanting to listen to Pip doing his twig song again xD

The Second game made me sad... I really need a full game out of that.

I love you Manly. Thank you for making your videos they always put a smile on my face ❤ :)

It's 3 am in the morning, it's was worth being wake up by the monster under my bed to watch this.

Drones? A factory? he discovered Amazon Headquarters!!!

That last game was a mind fuck

I just realised the second game has audio of the world’s oldest recording of the human voice! Well a recreation of it since it was a visual representation of sound that scientists recreated as actual sound. *Joe Scott did a really good video about the recording.* Adds a little bit of extra depression to it since the guy who made it is long dead and the people in the game would have absolutely no clue about his time period, that being the Victorian era or even anything about the discovery of nuclear things and it’s effects :(

This is a messaje to my daughter, she is a Fan of your Channel: "HIJA, PAPA TE AMA HOY Y SIEMPRE"

sorry... nevermind delete the message.... the back story is too sad, and cruel to explain it to everybody

“The Nailhead has already nailed you” but Do They Know about it?

As soon as Manly said that the 2nd game reminded him of Smiling Friends I thought "Oh, god. The monster is going to be Joshua Tomar, isn't it?" 😅

What more fearsome of a menace could ever be faced than the raw power and the ruthless sociopathic cunning of Tomar?

"Do we grow? We're shapes!" I wasn't expecting leaving this video knowing Manly has exposed himself as a Shapist. smh

Near the end of the 2nd game, when youre on the cat walks. i coudla sworn i could hear the audio from that video about the first ever audio recording, the guy singing claire de la lune in like the 1880s. er well, the end of the game in general.

So basically, those were mummified infants, not dolls. I don't think they knew the protag would fall through the snow right there, especially since the old sick gatherer warned him against that happening. But I do think they realized they were sending him out to die. I mean, the old gatherer was dying of radiation poisoning. Presumably the one before him did as well. Like, they must have noticed the pattern by now. I don't get the ending, though. You reach into a glove box with a baby inside, your arms get stuck, and then some machinery crushes you? All I can think is maybe this place is a huge deathtrap, and it's all a coincidence. Or maybe those machine arms were supposed to do something, but they're broken and fall on top of you when they start moving? I dunno, that's just not satisfying. It just feels too purposeful. I feel like I'm missing something.

The 'dolls' seem to be another form of a warning sign. Fake skeletons to tell people that there's only death here. The 'glove box' seem to be a displaced controller module (with a skeleton warning doll) and once the protagonist put their hands in, the spikes above were activated and the protagonist's frantic flailing trying to get out, they accidentally crushed themself.

Your videos always have a calm effect on me, manly never stop uploading, keep it always up!

10:42 as Stitch once said, "Ohana means Family" LOL (Their names)

i want a full picking up wood song sung by manly

The nailhead cabin looks almost like the one from the evil dead, the room layout is the same but is missing the details Edit:And funny enough the box couldn't burn away as easilly as the book

Bro literally got nailed💀

"Nothing of value is here. No great deed is commemorated here. This is not a place of honor."

it seems KZread thinks that every horror game you've played recently is silent hill 😭

What.... Nailhead was... eh, random. I don't care much. But the second one... I'm... so confused. I liked it a lot, it made me forget the first one entirely. But man it was weird and creepy. I want to know more about the lore and world.

YES I GOT THE NOTIFICATION THIS TIME LOVE YOUR VIDS MANLY

Manly, I think you really *NAILED* this one.

we considered ourselves to be a powerful culture

The box head entity feels like something out of SCP: Containment Breach.

manly really nailed it with that first game

So, on the horror of nuclear disposal- I think it would hit harder if you were the one who doesn't understand what is written on the warnings. As when it's just your character most people will just assume the character is a dumbass- while if it's you who doesn't understand along side the character it then brings in more anxiety and fear

Looks like the Devs _Nailed It!_
