I have the exact same issue as Winnie and yeah, easier said than done. The behavior is usually taught through trauma and bad experiences so to actually emotionally adopt a way to not do that while your mind has developed that behavior as a survival method because of what you went through is not an easy task and it's very very easy to fall back to that tactic. I interpret it as Augustine getting to personally feel what it's like to fall into that trap (instead of just make comment about it from the outside) and be just as capable and likely to do the same thing he tells Winnie not to do (once the situation puts him in a spot where that projection would happen).

Unfortunately in real life there are people that do use other people and don't value relationships. However there are people that do. You have to understand the small signs people give you. One big is are you just someone they find when they are bored, or do they actually make a real effort to mame time for you even when tired or feeling lazy. Do they pick up the p hone when you call, even when busy? Are they willingly to talk and argue without threatening to end the relationship? Lastly, do they actually do what they say they will do? These are things you need to look for. People will make excuses, but don't accept the excuses don't normalize it either. Hold people accountable and understand you deserve more. Keep these things in mind and you will find those that are genuine.

4:47 and 40:40 are just the same shot of Auggie smiling, but the first is his and the latter isn't. Auggie just pulled a skinwalker and stole Winnie's life, as indicated by the blue text, blue shirt and him wearing Winnie signature smile. What's wierd though is that Winnie's smile was just an imitation of young Aug in the first place. But Aug doesn't know this. He just thinks Winnie is a happier and better person. And now that he has his life its all his. Not realizing it was his to begin with.

@@ASHERUISE Nah the characters having a conversation about their feelings is fine but the thing about being in their mind-scape was just a bit lengthy. We didn't need to have everything explained like why there was a difference in their clothes or the concept about them remembering their past and being stuck in it to the degree they did. It could have been more subtle.

I think I saw someone say in the bad end maybe the reason Winnie dies is because he lost all will to living after being pushed in the “coma space” by his best friend and that absolutely destroyed me

I like the story overall, but I would like to come to Augustine's defense a bit. I, fortunately, haven't been in Augustine's situation yet, but I do feel for him a lot, coming from a person who also has to combat much anxiety due to mental illness. He, himself, is the person that knows best that these emotions are not healthy, and he doesn't want them, but they come nonetheless. Augustine always cares for Winnie, despising his feeling about the relationship, even after the fall and during the car-crashed-indulged-shared-mental-hallucination. That is what it is like for me sometimes in a relationship, combat unhealthy feelings but also care about the other person. The thought of having to talk to the other person about these feelings, either confirms these feelings are true or risks changing the relationship for better or worse. About Winnie, I agree with Manly that he should not be sorry about his success but that is not the thing that makes Augustine feel the way he feels. In this relationship, I don't really know how much he knows about Augustine's feelings to say that he didn't reach out to Augustine, but one thing I know for sure is that he did put Augustine in the position that Augustine didn't want to be an idol. When he did that, he, to some extent, stop consider Augustine to be an actual person of his own but a blueprint for what he wanted to do, unintentionally becoming a better version of Augustine. In the end, they both make the same decision by making the decision for the other person, only when things get to a boiling point do they actually want to talk it out, because they both care for each other. I'm saying this not to clear Augustine of all fault or even to villainize Winnie. I'm saying this to offer the other perspective and want people to normalize feeling this type of shit. When someone actually feels like this, other people do not vilify them for this, and let them feel that they can talk about it without hearing people say "What's wrong with you!?." Thank you for reading this, I would love to hear from our perspective as well in the comment.

@johnandsoon6081

Well it does sound like Winnie went after Augustine's crush at one point, maybe more than once. That might have been a coincidence, but if they were close, he probably should have had some idea of that. If he did, that is quite the line to cross. So I don't know about not blaming himself at least a little. And perhaps he could have expressed not wanting to replace his friend on their team in some way. He HAD to have at least been aware of how that would affect him. Even if Auggie never brought it up, you're replacing someone at something they enjoy doing. You'd have to be pretty oblivious, or like you said, not even seeing them as exactly a person. So while he's not much to blame here, he's surely not completely blameless. Auggie himself almost seems to not have realized that Winnie was copying him and that he resented it until very recently. If so, I guess neither of them could have helped it.

@discordiacreates6669

Жыл бұрын

Honestly I think they both had pretty unhealthy views of not just each other, but the world around them. One of them saw the other as something of a social parasite while the other idolized the other like they were some sorta god. Both probably had different kinds of attachment and insecurity issues but I wouldn't villainize either of them either since they both, imo, equally needed help. Bad ending obviously hurt, but so did the good ending in a different way since I can empathize with both of the characters in this playthrough, on one hand being inclined to want to copy someone I look up to because they inspire me but I don't always know how to properly convey or act upon that feeling, and often assuming others think the worst of me because I never feel good enough for anyone. It's not a good place to be, just like the blizzard is bad to stick around in, but I'm glad this story did have a happy ending option because as long as anyone is still alive, there's always more choices to be made and more opportunities to change the road you're on. Still though, I must admit that I called the MC toxic pretty quickly because of how quickly I realized what was really happening, pot calling the kettle black much? Ugh I hate past me as well ^^'

Especially being privileged and gaining success from other's ideas, executing them with resources they don't have.

Edit: Though, I will say, the good ending was a bit too explanatory. I prefer when stories let us connect the dots on our own. I get at least some of that needs to be explained, & the friends needed to communicate,, though if Winnie is slowly freezing to the point he couldn't feel his hands, their focus would be on survival, not theorizing. Overall, I did still like it a lot!

To give my opinion on the explanations at the end, I kinda like it here. It's like pretty funny or at least amusing and I find that it develops Winnie and Augustine a bit more. Plus it feels really like something that would be actually done if this was a real situation? You said they should have prioritized surviving but the house seemed like pretty safe for how long they have been there unbothered and they had to think about there situation and find a way to solve it somehow. Edit: so I forgot about the freezing, they had the lighter so they would have off set that for a bit at least

Only their second game? This is excellent work. Pitched just right, good art, and a cute monster.

38:15 ayo the pizza here one of the most dramatic and thematically appropriate "you're gonna burn alright"s i've ever seen. in all seriousness though, i really like this game! the art is beautiful and the symbolism is really neat too, from the concept of the cold front itself to smaller details like Augustine's text turning blue in the bad ending. also, Manly voicing the ManBearElk was amazing

i prefer the ending in game 😭 his text turns blue at the end to show that he, in a way, became winnie. the whole time he was upset because he thought winnie was taking everything from him, and blinded by jealousy, he pushed him down the stairs. the thing he convinced himself winnie was doing to him was the exact same thing he did to winnie. he took everything winnie had, and even so, he didnt know he was the villain in the story. the difference between the good ending and the bad ending is that they had an honest conversation with each other and understood how the other felt. he realized that winnie never did anything wrong and he had been making assumptions the entire time. if he realized he was wrong in both the good and bad endings, it wouldnt be as satisfying as the bad ending they already have imo. that said, i wouldve loved to see an ending like that too.

I NEED to rant about how CUTE Winnie's design is😍

i had a feeling when "winnie" said all that stuff to auggie that it was something to do about paranoia. i get that sometimes actually, so the fact i connected with that kinda scaresm me the "ask augustine about the stairs" makes sense too; he wasn't asking why he was pushed down (close your eyesss you'll be here soon) but was asking why he didn't help him. that part was winnie's memory, i'm sure overall this game is really good, i really enjoyed it :]

43:45 *quietly adds Augustine to kin list*

Misunderstandings are inevitable, but communication will carry you through it all~ surprising how easy it is to be friends when you're not constantly trying to find hierarchies or comparisons and want to be equal

I really wish that at 48:30ish, after they pounded fists, that Augustine woke up and found that Winnie was dead anyway. It would've hit far harder that, indeed, no matter what, there wasn't any kind of supernatural friendship trope hiding behind the coma. It was just Augustine replaying his memories with his best friend, and he had the choice to either betray that friend and take joy in his death or to realize what he was doing, forgive his friend, and then have to come to terms with losing him because he was a bad friend. It's a much more powerful message. Appreciate and communicate with the people you love in your life, because you won't get some kind of anime last-minute redemption arc in a shared memory with them if you don't. They really can be gone in a split second car accident, "dead instantly" as in the bad end.

*auggie broke winnie's heart so badly winnie physically died*

It reminds me of my best friend- we've been friends since our highschool years and we're still best of friends over fifteen years later. I did have much admiration towards her and she did the same towards me. It's hard not to jealous at times about such achievements, but at least we're able to see their achievements as our achievements as well, and view it as another way of becoming better people and better friends, even now. I liked this story a lot- maybe I'll look into where I can get the game and send the link over to her. She'll probably enjoy it just as much as I did. Thanks for the lets play!

How does that math work lol? ​@@TemmiePlays

The game is rather well made; solid characters, good writing, and the reveal is well executed. The themes of friendship and communication and dealing with internal insecurities were overt but charming in there implementation. The art was expressive and vivid, pleasant in experience. Where I think the game wains on me is when Winnie starts to explain all of the nuisances that where shown in the game. My emersion broke in that later third due to this. The game didn't need to explain itself at the end of the second route, it already did through the experience of the game. Overall I'm very impressed with it, and with this being the developers second game is commendable. Cold Front was a fun experience, but I don't think I'll play it again any time soon.

Agreed, but Winnie should have died in both endings. The entire thing falls flat in the good ending as a result. It's a cheap happy ending to please the teenagers in the audience, but overall leaving Winnie dead is much more powerful. It's a statement about life, appreciating what you have, and not letting you get in your own way. Get out of your head and appreciate those you love, because a freak car accident CAN happen and DOES to many people; you don't get an anime redemption arc in a coma just because it's a happy ending. You get regret. Augustine's lesson shouldn't have been to bro it up in the last second with his bud who helpfully exposited it all for him. It should have been that some mistakes cannot be fixed and that you need to live life with that in mind.

@@far2ez honestly i dont think the good ending is any worse than the bad one, nor is it a cheap happy ending for children. it wouldve been pretty cool if winnie stayed dead and they reconciled in his last moments, but its ultimately just as good when he's still alive because of your actions. imo the ending doesn't necessarily have to be sad to be meaningful, it just gives off a different message. just as people die all the time in situations like these irl, so do they survive and reconcile their relationship after such a near death experience. its more so a message about learning to communicate, how friendships can mend with time, etc. i think the problem is less that he survived and more that the way in which he survived was very anime and unrealistic (which wouldnt have been a problem if he was secretly dead the whole time) and was full of exposition, thereby making the ending feel less powerful overall. i personally think that your idea is extremely cool and would make a good third ending, but i don't see why we should put one idea down to raise another

I don’t care if anybody sees this or not, but at this exact moment I’m super drunk and got completely fucked up by my cat, covered in scratches. It wasn’t her fault, i tried carrying her inside and i forgot about the dog our family was dog sitting, so she went berserk with her claws, so I don’t blame her. All i gotta say is this hurts, but thanks for the content as always manly

The protag got learned helplesness from being copied. He blames himself but that's actually a form of abuse: make someone think they can't do anything, that nothing they do matters. Stealing the scene, robbing the show, taking someone's thunder constantly, having to be the center of attention, making that person want to shut themselves in and not even try is vile. Especially being privileged and gaining success from other's ideas, executing them with resources they don't have. Like, getting on specific competitive events just to outshine your friend (rather than applying your talents anywhere else where you'd succeed and he wouldn't) isn't a good look for a friend. I'd start hiding my interests or break the friendship up, like, Jesus

Didn't expect to see a ManBearPig reference in a Manly video. Also, the protag looks like a mini version of you

The body suit and distorted winnie scared me lollllll 💀

"Should I study for the exam?" "Should I take a nap?" BAD ENDING GO!

I really liked this. All the friendships, please. I theorized that auntie was superimposing his own insecurities onto Winnie, that's why he said such bitter things in the beginning. It was kind of a role reversal from their childhood selves. Also I know the cold was supposed to be a flashback to their winter memories, but wouldn't it be interesting if it also represented them getting closer to death like rigor mortis setting in. That's why Winnie is so much colder that Augustine because he was on the driver's side. Everything was also really well foreshadowed.

Why is it that every anime game goes like: "Great, so we both understand exactly what's happening here, because I just summarised it in excruciating detail?" "Absolutely!" "Excellent, well let's go through it from the top one more time!"

omori stairs made a comeback good for them

Honestly they would work out as a couple lmao

I actually think the "bad" ending is a cool subtle horror, cause yes the protagonist is happy, but he's happy /because/ his friend died and he gets to replace him, so the horror of it is that in this "happy" ending the main character has become a bad person.

if ya think about it, this game is like life is strange, where theres a bunch of choices, yet only 2 endings that all depend on a single choice

NO MATTER WHAT DARKNESS RESIDES WITHIN YOU, IT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE BURNING FLAMES OF FRIENDSHIP!!

This was nice, particularly impressive for a game jam given their time restraints. All the art is great, the presentation is good, the story was interesting even with some self-acknowledged cliche decisions. I do feel our protagonist is forgiven a little too easily but that doesn't lessen it for me.

I absolutely love the portrayal of Augustine’s anxiety, I don’t think this is talked about here all that much

You're videos are unintentional strategy guides for the completionist.

SNAP BACK to reality with the power of fire and friendship or murder your friend in-between your life and death mind scape. Not much actual gameplay and more like a visual novel with the occasional quick time. I really enjoy the different perspective and look forward to games that do it in rpgmaker.

So, basically, Silent Hill but the folks are stuck in The Day After Tomorrow's planet Earth instead I really dig those two characters, although I find it abit strange how Augustine never tackled his previous fake ending where he actually did push em.

11:53 I though the freckles on the green guy's face were tiny ten-ten eyes and laughed

I wish that in the ending where Augustine pushes Winnie there would be like a secret end credits scene of Augustine at Winnies funeral while mumbling to himself how much he hated him, and Winnies mom gives him Winnies diary and then Augustine reads it and realises that basically Winnie didn't want to steal everything from him but Winnie just idolizes him and thought that if he did the same things as Auggie it would impressive him, and that day when Winnie fell down the stairs and Auggie didn't help him, he thought that Auggie hated him or something which was why he distanced himself from him, and the scene ends with Auggie dropping Winnies diary and bursting into tears after realising what he has done and he looks off into the distance to see the ghost of Winnie looking at him with blue tears as he whispers " I'm sorry I made you feel that way Auggie, I really am sorry"

OMG this game is also from racheldrawsthis.... just after im so invested with dead plate, the bromance (?) atmosphere is the first thing that i notice, though i know rachel just turn it into rivalry lol

Looks like the perfect opportunity to get closer to somebody and snuggle them 😉

Man I'm really bummed by both endings tbh. I wanted them to stay together forever how dare they be realistic

This game is fantastic and one of the better RPG Maker Games out there. I just love the dynamic between the two main characters!

This game made me cry I feel bad for Augustine 😭

A lot of exposition at the end - but still, it was cute, enjoyable entertainment. Your voice acting really topped this story off to it's full potential :). So glad you played this.

Okay but this made me cry in a good way, this game is so cathartic and Manly's voice really made the emotions real

Manbearpig concept in south park exists, nothing surprises me, and honestly sounds like manbearpig might literally be the inspiration for this creature if anything

32:48 the body suit gaining eyes caught me off guard

Honestly, my sincerest thanks to this game's creator and to Manly for posting this video, I was in need of an outlet that talked about those themes to confront some stuff in my personal life. I know this comment doesn't mean much, but even so, I wanted to express my gratitude. Thanks.

i do enjoy being trapped in a blizzard in summer

Even if it used cliché tropes and ideas, this is such a cute and amazing game. The art style & the characters were so easy to fall in love with ;D

This is really well written.

1:10 Ah, so that indeed ended up as foreshadowing.

I really enjoy watching your gameplay videos!!

This LP was a wonderful watch. 😌 One of your best Mr. Hero. 👌🏽 Danke!

This game gave us an easy-on-the-eyes art style and calming setting... Then it ramped up the anxiety and made us deal with character development if we wanted to or not. This was such a nice way to handle this kind of story. Loved it.

This hit so close to home, my heart was clenching the whole time. I'm in the middle of a similar experience (although much more mild) where I feel like my best friend is outperform ing me in a lot of the stuff I like to do and my paranoia is basically making me rot. I don't want to tell her of my jealousy though because I'm afraid it will drive us apart. I feel like I'm being left behind. But I just sit back because in the end I'm happy for her. This game did make me reflect and I honestly feel like just letting go of it all at this point 🙃

“Raurg, I feel people getting along in there.”😂

This,,, really hit into a current situation I'm in and gave me a new perspective on things. I'm not sure what else to say other than I really enjoyed watching you play this game as well as the developers behind it. :)

Something should be said about Manly's voice acting talent! I loved the way he voiced them both, made the playthrough even more atmospheric. Overall, lovely game, and Winnie is precious, but it kinda bothered me how lightly they treated the fact that Augustine let him fall and didn't even call the ambulance. Like that's not a small thing, he could have died. Still a nice little story though, thematically everything fit together very well.

Why is it giving a Spring without you 😭. The snowing in July part…😭

Living in the Midwest, tbh, I wouldn’t be too shocked if it were to suddenly start snowing in the middle of what is currently the hottest summer on record. We had snow and cold snaps clear into April this year.

I liked the end part where they literally rekindled their friendship ^7^

Dammit, Augustine and Winnie are adorable. I wanna see them in another game god dammit!

Your voiceovers give such life to these games, Manly! You did such an extraordinary job on this one, I felt all the emotions!

That was a lovely little VN. I think what helped it to stand out, despite being cliché in some areas, was its subject matter. The intricacies of friendship, especially close friendship, isn't really something often explored in this genre. Kudos to them, and thank you, Manly, for playing this! 🙂

Their appearances and personalities reminds me of certain boxing characters

I'm watching you for horror and scary, not to feel my heart beat! Also, funny enough? This story is *seemingly* eerily similar to a real life situation between two lovers named Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell...Except...it does have a bad ending. Sadly the real world cannot always be like our dreams...Loved this story though! Sad our rl relationships can't work out the same way sometimes. Heart goes out to all those who have their own "Bad Endings" . You are not alone

Man if only conversations in the good ending could go so easily like that, I really love the good ending even though when Winne left Auggie still had other friends and had a message on his cast from Winne, it was so sweet they finally became real friends after all this time.

Not gonna lie, before the bad ending I thought that Winnie would turn out to be a backstabber who'd kill Augustine at some point. Good thing that's not actually the case.
