Cat in the Box - Unused Minigame

[@rpghorrorfan879]

Very interesting find! He was also one of the protagonists in one of their other games Stygian (same art).

[@w0bblegum347]

Thats so cool thats also the same tentacle monster even the premise of the story having many time paradox just like in stygian they were those dark shadows before and tried to escape it too. Cat in the box tho its only girl. I saw that in manly's video he made the character afk and suddenly another vers of girl walked in.

[@araparigaquesonhava]

@@w0bblegum347 I've heard that have so many secrets like this, like;; when the "killer" is following you, you can fool her, and walk in circles around the rooms, until a moment activates a cutscene in which appears one more killer, then the game cut off to the main menu

[@w0bblegum347]

@@araparigaquesonhava same the game writer is so creative i love how in cat in the box there is no actual happy end and thats a rlly good twist in horror rpg games cus some horror rpg game just have good ending and u can easily outrun the one chasing you but this game is unique. Like how many time u try there is no actual good end for you

[@araparigaquesonhava]

@@w0bblegum347 I have to say that Cat In The Box remember me a lot an actually film, Triangle; it is involved a time loop, or better spiral overlay, and this is caused by an "unpronounceable" force, and the script plays with it. Then the protag goes crazy lol I've notice that so many work, films, games recently has this lovecraftian horror, idk,, I just think it's cool that usually the "villains" are not people, monsters, but the universe itself, forces beyond our comprehension, and "beings older than time"

After watching Stygian from Manly and learning that it was made 5 years ago really shows that the creator knows how to mindfuck the player with this sequel.

[@Tridelo100]

Pretty neat, shame it got dropped. Maybe he did not want such an obvious strong link between Stygian and this.

[@notazerg]

He probably had a "perfect" ending in mind where you destroy the mansion and the creature in fire but that entire storyline got cut. Probably for a sequel instead.

[@tonymaverickzane6899]

It’s kind of confirmed in a Cat in the Box Devlog that the main character for Stygian (the blue haired man you’re playing) is named Cherkov. Just a fun fact to point out.

[@Hyaene_Colonlength]

ooh nice

The guy was a protagonist from the prequel of the game called *Stygian* created *5years ago*

[@starlenestilltouringyoutub2116]

The guy is from Stygian

Could you showcase all the secrets you found plus what Manly has found?

[@RocKieDaSh]

thank you for showing this!

[@leotwix4874]

Amazing find!

[@quesocharred]

thank you master detective man

[@nonsensicalabyss]

Woah, thanks for your hard work, this game is so cool!

[@luxmansurenthra3178]

I've heard that there are unused CGs in the files, could you make a video showing them off?

[@ForgoneMoose]

The only unused CGs I can find anywhere is one that shows Girl finding the big pile of bones from a different angle, and a variation of the picture frame in the cult leader's office that was meant for a seemingly unimplemented easter egg. Nothing too interesting

[@luxmansurenthra3178]

@@ForgoneMoose really? I swear manly said there were unused cgs that were in the files but unused because they seemed too gorey for the game...Maybe I'm mistaken

[@Phantom-el6oe]

I saw your comment under Manly vid, are you really a translator? I want to contact the author if he wanted a Polish translation, but I can't find a way

[@ForgoneMoose]

I just DMed him on Twitter, he's @Mitenbets. He speaks enough English that he can understand requests, but it would probably be best not to expect him to help you out with anything beyond just giving you the okay. He seems to like the idea of people making translations of his games as long as he doesn't have to do any of the work himself and you make sure to link to his blog wherever you end up uploading the finished product.

[@Phantom-el6oe]

@@ForgoneMoose Thanks, can you share game files to translate or tell me how to get them?

[@ForgoneMoose]

@@Phantom-el6oe You need to decrypt the games files to be able to open it up in the editor. You can find a decryptor by just searching something like "RPG Maker VX Ace decrypt" . I can't really help you beyond that.

[@Phantom-el6oe]

@@ForgoneMoose I can handle things from there. Thanks for the help again. By the way, there was a secret message in unicode. Any ideas how to translate it? I'm forming a full story theory, but I'm still lacking some info

[@Phantom-el6oe]

@@ForgoneMoose I started translating the Stygian for now, do you think about translating Disorder?

Very nice discovery

you are a legend, thank you!

[@tonymaverickzane6899]

One question: Are you going to do an English Subtitle of the recent video Gustav did, titled “VATSUG 2020”? It seems like a comedy work featuring every characters who has appeared in Gustav’s games. Last part was funny as hell though lmao. Here’s the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmvnqWFmsmKbac

[@nalkacult]

how were you able to find the stuff hidden in the files, all i seem to find are the default rpg maker assets. great video though! i love seeing more stuff about this game, especially the secrets!! thank you for making this video

[@ForgoneMoose]

The assets and scripts are all encrypted, you need to use a program to extract them. Searching something like "RPG Maker VX Ace Decrypt" should get you what you're looking for.

[@nalkacult]

Hey do u know? the passwords of pictures and stage in Stygian.

[@bruhmoment-zg8kf]

Wait is that the girl's girlfriend :O??

[@everyonegetstired31]

Can u find the secrets in the game ?

[@ForgoneMoose]

I looked through the game and think I found at least the large majority of them? Honestly, ManlyBadassHero demonstrated most of them. He missed an extra flashback scene of Girl asking Sister for the scooter, the easter eggs for naming yourself "Silenthill" and "Biohazard", a second possible phone call with a different friend, the newspaper at the top left of the starting area, and the time paradox in the second chase, just off the top of my head. He demonstrates just about everything else that I found. There's some other unimplemented stuff, like a hard mode that made stamina drain faster, the killer/eye monster follow you through doors faster, removed some hints for puzzles, and removed some camcorder tapes and stamina refills. There's also an unused feature that made drawers and such randomly give you either a tape, a chocolate bar, or nothing, instead of the items being deterministic. Finally, there's a weird wraith looking sprite standing just off screen in the true ending, which I think is another reference to STYGIAN. Might be more that I just didn't look hard enough for though.
