I love how the poster in the bosses office just says "I'm at my fucking limit". I liked this game, spooky with a good sense of humour.

[@ErinJeanette]

Why is the boss so adorable? I love that they put someone in a wheelchair, never see that. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a bad guy 😂

[@diegoaespitia]

most likely for the simplicity of animation. animating games can be such a pain if ur not experienced

[@troin3925]

He doesn’t seem to be a villain. There is a twist about his identity if you pay attention to the newspapers, but nothing about a twist villain as far as I know.

[@ErinJeanette]

@@troin3925 interesting ❤️ thanks!

[@rarity000]

Anyone else wondering how the boss is getting into his office up all those stairs? Perhaps that's why he doesn't want you in there. 😂

[@rayneofsalt9217]

Mysterious things happen. I once had a dude with no arms in a wheelchair appear on my patio and start attacking my glass door with his head. No idea where he came from or how he got there, especially since he'd have had to go up 6 rickety wooden stairs to get there. The cops were as perplexed as I was.

[@Wally_Darling1960]

@@rayneofsalt9217 I wish I had that determination

[@iwazhere21]

That jingle when you do the task is motivating as all heck.

[@veronicalopezfigueroa3433]

Phone: kermit d'frog and on the billboard: I am Groot.

[@Gegnog]

CJ! Inside the dumpster with that grim reaper looking apparition, there was a keypad to the left of the cage you walked out of! I think you need to put the 1604 into that and potentially get whatever material desire “Death” was referring to

[@Gegnog]

You can see the keypad at exactly 26:44 by the way, just so y’all can see what I mean

[@lucreziabosi4800]

So nice of them to give Kermit the frog a chance to be in the game

[@chowzan9477]

Man Kermit sure has changed Edit* ok that's a pretty interesting game

[@masterzoroark6664]

Kermit owns a store But he paid with his limbs to the monster

[@FPrimusUnicron]

love these games where one is in a store or those at a lighthouse, and this was another great one, also, that "demo" reveal XD, also i dont think you noticed the GIANT "employee monster" at 21:57 when you turn up the corner and the place is briefly illuminated, on the left

[@goodprince5327]

I couldnt stop laughing at their voices LMAO 😭🤣😭😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣

[@k8h991]

Clever how the store is called “The Month” and you just happen to be an employee:)

[@iamtheoracle]

ok

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

It has got a nice quirkiness of it, even if I'm not fond of lo-res games, I'll dl this. Chris is very good at selling it as well (as always he makes it enjoyable) 😁

[@masterzoroark6664]

"Even if you are not doing the best, remember- you are still employee of The Month"

[@romanv5723]

Look at that beautiful Cadillac 🥰

[@shadowjudge921]

No thanks, I prefer a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. 😋

[@romanv5723]

@@shadowjudge921 completely different car style and types Cadi is pimpmobile, while trans_am is a powerhouse with a small block. Good choice though !

[@jeshel2.074]

Another 2 videos uploads from chris. Im being spoiled rotten to no end today. PD: **night shifts suck**

[@Hodgeyp3]

Tell me about it.....5 years of my life was wasted on them 🤣

[@annak8109]

I was about to give up on this game but once it started changing and new stuff going on, I found myself intrigued. So yes, I'd like to see the full version and find out if that poor guy will ever end his night shift.

[@Scriptor13]

CJU: **restocks items aggressively** lol What a fun, quirky game. Of course, any game in which Chris stocks shelves, delivers things, or drives is hilarious. 😂 Loved the magical, teleporting, wheelchair-bound manager; the comical VOs; the bizarre pocket universes. Even the "breb." I hope you play this if there's ever a full release. (And for future reference, I believe I saw a keypad in the dumpster enclosure.)

[@kennynitro17]

10:15 Oh hey that poster in the back is an ad in the subway level from Silent Hill 3! _Growing Strong and Healthy ... Minmo!_

[@k8h991]

27:26 body hanging in front of the camera? That was cool. what a great game.

[@pratypulse]

The commentary was so fun. and the section where the boss asks if there are any questions. the gap between him responding back is exactly fitting to Chris' response lmao. I always love these office shift concept games and this one's so goofy yet serious

[@daneyal7162]

The sounds you hear when you succeed in your chores is so out of place that it's kind of hilarious XD

[@kamensentai9286]

That deformed employee is probably a trolley boy

[@SLENDERFREAK5127]

Maybe unintentionally comical voice acting aside, this was pretty cool. I’m going to have to keep tabs on this one to see where it goes

[@Nervous101]

This is actually a really nice game, I'd love to see it all.

[@Hodgeyp3]

The cast of Sesame Street must be desperate for work.......atleast Kermit never disappoints in his roles!🤣🤣

[@Shaoife]

I paused when the objectives flashed and saw that it says the same thing, only the text appears backwards. Probably not meant to happen and could be a bug just like only being able to see the monster at the edge of the screen. It was a fun little game though, I really enjoyed it 😄 Thanks for playing! (All text written above is spoken in Kermit's voice)

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

I bet both seeing monster at the edge of vision and glitching objectives are intentional.

[@XSilverRose03X]

The monster isn't a bug! It's something you can only see from the corner of your eye. Haven't you ever seen something move in the corner of your eye and think it's a monster? Such a unique thing to do and it's great! Makes it so much more frightening

[@jakebiassa]

The dev said on another person's channel that the flashing backwards text and the monster that you can only see on the security camera and out of the corner of your eye is intentional.

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

Well can say this is more confusing than Fantoccini, but it's a way more interesting/better game.

[@samtamoglia7335]

I hear the beyond section is wild.

[@shasheytm4155]

That voiceover sounds like Kermit the frog 🤣🤣

[@dnanything]

The voice acting manager for the game might not have been spooky...but it made my day anyway. Best choice.

[@anxiousgamer7334]

Another great video. And another video I can watch before I sleep. Thank you for the content

[@elizabethfoster4297]

Will definitely be looking forward to the full game. The boss was funny. The whole game was weird and trippy but really good

[@108kitsune]

I love how much effort was put into this for what it is

[@motionlessinwhite8]

Hahaha I thought Barney from simpsons first but definitely could be Kermit too! Made it funny but still got some good jumps out of this too and I’m so intrigued to figure out what in the holy fuck is going on hahaha! Good game tho I really can’t complain so far as long as they kinda sum up what’s going on in the full game and tell a good ending to the story I’m down for it! Definitely an interesting one! Can’t wait to see the full game haha thanks for spoiling us again cj!

[@Azrel00]

This is why I love indie developers! Such creativity!

[@thisrandomdude_]

What a charming little game! I really like the dialogue and the voice of the boss, plus the creature's design is pretty creepy. Overall a very solid game, even if it is a demo :)

[@_Obey_]

This kind of game is right up my alley! Can you please keep an eye on it and play it when it's fully released? That would be bomb! Your commentary made the game even better.

[@SweetManDan]

Lmfao!!! "Somethings not right with this place.... but I do need to restock..." I love all of your shows. You are a GREAT entertainer and you really do make even the most awkward of games seem funny and interesting. Keep up the great work and having fun!

[@gitszprycha8775]

Funny voice of the boss, and you perfectly fit in between the boss's sentences. And I have to say it: men in white T-shirts looks pleasant to the eye. Good choice of garnement color ;)

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

I think the developers have created something out of nothing. I actually enjoyed watching you play this. I don't think I would have enjoyed this if someone else had been playing. Thank you for this walkthrough.

[@daneyal7162]

The manager's office being accesable only through stairs should already give you an inidcation that something is wrong, since the guy is in a wheelchair.

[@ciphercider4326]

Oh my, I didn't even think about that until you said something. 🤯

[@blackmoth2595]

my office is haunted, whenever someone does the overnight job, they always got spooked by things, such as some random sounds, or just people whispering unintelligible words. now, the seniors always say that its better to do the night shift or overnight work not alone.

[@Ethonra]

Hey, Chris. Not sure if you forgot or KZbin is being difficult, but the full game has been out for awhile now and is very amazing and has multiple endings and hilarious Easter eggs (watch the employee training videos, you won't regret it). I for one would love to see you do a longplay of it. Now maybe a good time while White Day 2...improves.

[@Nicidable]

yes, i'd love that so much!

[@masterzoroark6664]

The throw sounds makes me do vague gang signs *YUH*

[@thisrandomdude_]

I really like the sense of humour this game has as well :P

[@KOU-ZAI]

It makes me wonder if it'd be any different had you not taken a peek into that door that contains the corpses. Also, I was hoping that we'd encounter something that would require the "1604" code, but I guess that's not happening 'til we get the final version. X| Interesting game. I won't mind seeing more of this.

[@joannawentworth9519]

There's a keypad on the fence in the dumpster area. :P Too bad he missed it.

[@dgw671]

I was trying to figure out how many drugs these guys took and realized, it was ALL the drugs. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@Jaytecx]

The store owner seems like a stand up guy.

[@Lesbiwolf92]

Boss man Kermit the Torso, fuckin no arms or legs and he managed to become a manager. Truly inspiring.

[@TheKevphil]

I bailed about 2/3 of the way. Just too many giant pixels. I WAS impressed they got Bert and Ernie to do the voice-over for the Boss. _Slick_

[@sephithor7069]

Watching you before bed. Relaxing as always

[@Sebastianmaz615]

That car, 3:00, looks almost like a Cadillac from around mid to late 90's. Boss does sound like Kermit, sorta. 😊👍🏻 This game is one weird-ass game! The ending objective was really good: "wait for full release."

[@Leon-mk1wn]

21:32 dude i effin jumped out of my seat lol

hello again tonight hehe

[@prehanramsamy6728]

I really love these night shit working games... reminds me of 80s horror movies...

[@fredd3233]

This was quite fun! I wonder how they'll expand on that in the full game. Also, I realized it's crazy the number of games which use the night shift in a store trope.

[@Scriptor13]

I agree, Fredd--lots of whimsy to this game. I've gotta say that I'm not tired of the store night shift trope yet. That setting always leaves so much room for humor.

[@fredd3233]

@@Scriptor13 Ha I'm not tired of it yet either, it only pops once every few weeks so that's fine ^^

There is so much more to this game with the full release ! Like SO much more. I’d love to see you revisit it

[@Elfmaiden2004]

This is a good weird game! Funny you never mentioned the boss in a wheelchair yet he has stairs to his office :P

[@DarthKato]

I've worked retail before and I can confirm that this is pretty close to what you actually go through.

[@skylx0812]

Got me thinkin of the line from Lonesome Dove, _"You ever 'et a fra-owg?"_ And yes, some desk lamps have a hole under the base that'll allow you to mount them on walls and such.

[@homeoftheinepttulpagamer]

Ah yes.. The manager in the wheel chair has his office at the top of the stairs

[@auhona9429]

I really love ur gameplays and I can't be satisfy with anyones game play. I've tried to watch others gameplay bt I got bored bt I never get bored when I watch ur gameplay. U r amazing u can entertain ppl. I used to have a prbl with watching horror things bt when I stared to watch ur gameplay I got used to it. Ur gameplay is genuine and I really like that. U always go left, always try to leave and bathroom how can I forget that u always wants to use bathroom in a game If u can u become happy and give a gd point to that game.

[@jeb1691]

I wanna be an employee!

[@SurgStriker]

So i'm pretty sure the name of the store is "The Month". (it was on a sign over the door when you walked in once). Which would mean anyone working there is technically "an employee of The Month"

No, but there is one called "Employee of the Month." That's SCP-254, which looks like a sign. Its human manifestation is SCP-254-1. 😊

This game was pretty awesome and very unexpected!!

[@hollisbostick2872]

That was so much fun! And what a breath of fresh air; it's not until I heard you again really enjoying being confused (rather than confused and frustrated) by one of these short indie demos/games, that I realized how long it's been. I liked this variant of the "Convenience Store" gameplay type and I loved your Fisher-Price-person boss (with bonus points for the wheelchair)😄. Also enjoyed the exploration of engine exploits and ... bugs (?), the monster you could only see out of the corner of your eye, and the (apparently) multi-part cabinet object that you could put a door in and link to an object on another map. I loved watching the devs just kinda playing with their tools, and still happening to make a fun little demo out of it. I am quite curious about the, erm, Blood Room, what exactly is a Token of Material Desire, does the Boss know wth is going on in his shop, is anything in fact going on in his shop (or am I just ill), and CAN I GET OUT OF HERE, PLEASE??! Not a bad showing for a demo, and I guess they knew it with that last objective.😉 But I won't object, because it was such a nice, deft change from SSD (Sudden Summary Death), or just throwing you out of the demo as so many others do. So I do hope this becomes a full game someday. Thanks for playing and sharing, CJU!

[@jakebiassa]

The dev said all of that was on purpose and definitely not a bug.

[@smolCharlotte]

I love this.

[@phuggard]

This was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the looping objectives, but overall I like the concept.

[@comfortpotoo]

I haven't watched your Plague video because I'm wanting to save that playthrough for myself. But I appreciate your consistent uploads and commentary. A lot of these end up being much better because of it. As much as I like the older graphic styles, I dislike it when people make walls and other objects' texture do that weird never moving effect when you move, like the mystery milk room. Makes me ill after a while of looking at it.

[@maumau2850]

21:57 😨 giant monster
