I feel bad for the teachers here too. They don't get paid enough already, and now they're dealing with generations after generations of immature and unreasonable kids that test their patience.

The most horrifying part is how believable it all feels. I've gotten the impression that too many of the Slavic people live in incredibly brutal environments and I feel all the different parts of this game lean into it. From the cruel pranks, to the dad, to the one teaching bemoaning that "you're just as heartless as the rest of the world," to the other teacher refusing to care anymore. There is a theme of an incredibly cruel environment that spares no one, that the ones who survive the monsters are the monsters.

I wonder if Johan was picking on Agatha on purpose, getting her in trouble at school bc he actually knew her dad would react badly- the murder was obviously unintended, but throughout the game its pretty clear that he's a psychopath. Also, her Dad obviously wasn't going to be helpful in any way even if she HAD mentioned the bullying (more than just asking the player to get her out of trouble, since the game purposely leaves it unknown if she ACTUALLY did anything or if Johan DID make something up). The player's parent is also mostly absent, which shows that Johan was thinking ahead by getting a friend that couldn't easily go get a parent when the 'pranks' started going too far.

34:59 "the original story was written in the language of pain" how dare you make me laugh like that after such a harrowing game lmao but seriously, this was good. suspenseful pacing, unnerving visuals, cool mishmash of languages as 'interslavic'.. and the horrors of not only a young psychopath, but child abuse and neglect from every adult in the game.. this was real good.

The joker: that's not funny, that's not funny at all *dies*

Honestly liked the layers and the dark undertone this game had. It felt real in a sense and yet had a plot in the making that you knew would become dark. It servered foreshadowing future events and didnt let the story become boring

As someone from Eastern Europe, I really appreciate the Slavic aesthetics in this game: carpets on the wall, the bear painting in the classroom (Morning in a Pine Forest by Shiskin and Savitsky), picture of Kuplinov (a popular streamer and gamer from Russia), socialist-realist posters with Billy Herrington, *BOBER* etc.

That title must be a huge compliment for the developers, seeing as Manly does nothing but horror games

In my case it obviously didnt reach this point, but I was friends with the "oddly violent and volatile kid at school" and this game absolutely nailed the feeling of seemingly walking on a minefield at all times. The "who matters most to you, Agatha or me?" Question brought back A LOT of things. Great game with great atmosphere.

I see Johan is a modern day youtube prankster in the making. "Hey, today I'm going to prank my best friend by pretending to give him a box of strawberry cupcakes! Let's film his reaction when he starts opening that box and sees it ain't cupcakes...!"

The devs are commenting on lets plays but I don't see them commenting here yet so. They've been informing people that the game is based off messed up events they witnessed or heard about during their childhood that no one did anything about.

Same here!

You can pick up from very early on how messed up each of the children's situations are: Filip only has interactions with his mom which are limited to her calling through his door and only providing cereal for every meal. While his mom didn't particularly seem abusive or hateful by any standard, it's definitely an indicator of neglect. Just from context clues, Filip's family might just be him and his mother (who is either just single, divorced, or widowed) who has to occasionally work overtime to make ends meet. It's hard to tell if the cereal through the door is because she can't be bothered to cook, it's because that's all she can afford, or if that's all she feels her son deserves as we don't actually get much of a view into this situation. It could just be that the mother is tired from work and slips the cereal under the door because there's no point in coming to eat at the dinner table since she'd not be there or any number of reasons. Regardless, Filip is in a position where he's neglected by his mother and not being fed like he should which is a recipe for children to act out in any kind of way they can for attention. Agatha's family circumstances... There's no way to beat around the bush that the only interaction or indicator we have of parental interaction is her dad. She may be in a similar situation to Filip where her mom's situation isn't outwardly said, but it may or may not be a cause of her dad's likely drinking problem. Her dad is abusive towards her and will beat her when she does something that he deems to be wrong but clearly in a way that prevents people from actively seeing or noticing bruises on her (while we could chalk that up to neglectful adults, notice that none of the kids comment on bruises either despite knowing her being beaten). Agatha has asthma and needs inhalers which tend to cost a lot of money depending on the area you're living in which may unfortunately be a contributing factor in how he treats her as well, either viewing her as invalid or seeing the inhaler as something that takes away money from him. She makes comments pleading with Filip to make Johan take the fall for any potential pranks she has done so her dad won't get mad at her. And when she is beaten, the next day she doesn't talk about the situation, as if she's trying to keep that in as her friends have shown they are not willing to help her. She only states that her father owns the TV which means she can't do the child-like thing which is watch cartoons and when "going home" with Filip, telling him that she doesn't want to go home. Interestingly, Johan mentions before all of this that he's had unpleasant interactions with Agatha's father without going into too many details other than saying that he would likely just "yell at her". This shows that Johan might have been actually yelled at and beaten by her father so he knows how scary he is. Not to mention how despite being told by Filip that Johan had nothing to do with Agatha's actions, the father still showed up to Johan's house in a drunken stupor and threw a rock into his house, shattering the window. Johan has a lot to unpack in his case, but the clear context on his parental situation (despite never seeing either parent once or having any dialogue from them) is that his parents are divorced and he lives with his mom while his dad lives in the city. Johan's offhand comments make me worry about the situation he's living in with his mother considering one talk with both Agatha and Filip about wanting to move back to his dad in the city made the two of them want to go live with Johan there too. Johan's comment regarding his father could mean that his father is genuinely a good parent and takes care of him and the other kids well or alternatively neglects Johan by not providing much meaningful reaction but still lets him do whatever he wants as a way to pacify or placate him into behaving. His mother however is clearly the opposite. Johan makes comments every now and then that are very chilling and disturbing (aside from the animal abuse and killing) with the idea of "parents go easy on their children" and essentially telling Agatha that her father beats her because he loves her so it's technically for her own good. This really points to his mother treating Johan in the same way as Agatha though potentially to a lesser degree as she tells Johan that she's doing that for his own good and out of love and care for him (which is not true in the slightest). It's actually stated that there's a contributing factor of childhood traumatic events that damage a child's psyche and could likely be a cause for a child to begin killing or become a serial killer (Note: clearly not all children under circumstances like this will become killers which is clearly shown with both Filip and Agatha's situations being very similar to Johan's, it's just unfortunate that Johan picked up these habits). Seeing Johan's comments regarding his dad in a positive light but never really mentioning his mom outside of her going after Agatha's dad for breaking one of their windows, it's not far off to say that she either didn't care or didn't even notice Johan starting to pick up unsavory habits like pranking and then moving up to killing/torturing animals. Had he been in better circumstances with more parental guidance, a lot of these actions he committed could have potentially been prevented or at the least, he may have been able to seek help despite the current circumstances. Overall, there's surprisingly a lot to unpack in this game despite the length. It's very complex despite the extremely dark nature, sometimes all too realistic, of the story which adds to the horror elements.

0:45 Manly saying “Moshi Moshi” will always be funny

The game is so terrifying the video title is almost entirely normal.

8:09 That wasn't a beaver, it was a capybara. Which is like the least dangerous creature in the world.

Ms. Vishnevska was an angel. I hate it when rotten kids torture kind teachers like that. I had one like that in high school. She was very sweet, very caring, understanding and forgiving. The students verbally harassed her: mocked her choice of vocation, called her fat and ugly, refused to answer her when she asked questions about the lessons. They also "pranked" her fairly often: stealing her supplies, hiding them in high places she couldn't reach, put things under or around her desk so she'd trip or knock things over. She also quit, but it was quietly and sad. She was just gone one day. I was always kind and honest with her. I thanked her as often as I remembered for being our teacher. As a 14 year old, I didn't know what else to do. I knew to tell adults if I was being harassed, or if another student was being harassed. But in my undeveloped brain, I didn't know or think to tell someone if an adult was being bullied. Kids can be cruel and vicious for no reason. Manly did point out that it often comes from broken backgrounds, but sometimes it seems like they just enjoy being mean. Like a power trip or something. (I'm thinking of one guy in particular. I knew his family cuz I was good friends with his younger sister. They were really nice, generous with their love and affection. Even with him. When he was with them he was a completely different person. Polite, grateful, responsible. I don't know what his deal was.)

Fun fact: This a rare sequence of Second Person (as in First Person, or Third Person). In a game, second Person is when you control a character but see through the eyes of another person. Another example would be the first boss of Battletoads (NES), where you fight a giant robot throwing rocks at the camera.

I don't think that'd do anything because Johan was literally a sociopath and a murderer, potentially even a serial killer, if anything, people would just think that there own pranks are far more tame. The rat prank didn't even phase Agatha, and the shoe lace excuse was so obviously bs, Johan obviously flat out murdered her when Filip was hiding, and I don't think I need to comment on when he broke into his house.

Kinda saw that coming when johan talked about the rats Its kind of a pattern for people like him to start with small animals before going for the real thing

Actually, it makes perfect sense. Agatha's Dad is a violent drunk. Threatening Filip and easily using violence against kids. Meanwhile, Filip's mother visibly outcasts him. Like. Idk if you grew up "healthy", but as a kid from the streets, you know not to run to those people for anything. Agatha's Dad would have beaten you half to death, thinking you were in cahoots with Johan in a new "prank". Your Ma ain't interested anyway -so she is instinctively forgotten. Leaves the teacher, being the only "neutral" person of authority...well...until she acted like she did. Aftermath? I don't really think you need an entire game. Filip screams. The mother (as uninterested as she is) either hears the scream, or smells the rot. Police comes, if word in the small village doesn't run faster, reaching Agatha's Dad. Dude loses it. He tries to kill Johan, but the police took him. He goes for Filip, but the police arrests him. So, he drowns in booze -subsequently dying from alchohol poisoining in/after prison. Johan is in prison until he's an adult and "reformed enough". He ends back in it, after he probably killed his 5th victim. Filip is traumatized for life. He becomes the grandpa that's very quiet and HATES surprises. ANY surprise. Cupcakes/strawberries are severe triggers and he throws a fit if he just sees one. Like.

As a polish I appreciate them putting in the random Bober meme

What scares me the most is how I knew early on that Johan was most likely some kind of threat. Animal abuse/torture without remorse in children is typically the first sign of a developing murderer. I liked how they used such a big detail right off the bat, because, just like real life, that sort of thing is easily overlooked and dismissed since they’re just kids.
