Frog Days - a very surreal adventure game

[@djonezzz6853]

Love where you're takig the channel, good first new video!

[@DrillingInTheNameOf]

This is the type of thing where I have don't really have any base interest in the topic but get reeled in because the video is so good. Looking forward to more Explorianing 👍

[@ReapeeRon]

This is a very strange game, awesome video Explorian. Looking forward to more strange games! If you are looking for something else strange sort of like this The Harvester game is something that is very bizarre.

[@explorianguy]

ohhh I've heard of that! that one is pretty psychotic yea

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah it is. It starts out pretty normal then gets really strange with bees coming out of a baby's eyes.@@explorianguy

[@heartbeat7939]

Holy shit I didn't expect to be this interested to a random ass click and point adventure game

[@gabrielsantosbastos5257]

This game looks like it did more stone than rock

[@medscootsman8429]

It got rock and stoned, brother.

[@jzup1_424]

ROCK AND STONE...?

[@kenjen9861]

Far...Karl?!

[@TheFireofPatience]

The abject absurdity of rendering a frog png saying "Don't do it" in a fictional alien language just to insert a pre-recorded clip of yourself saying you will, and uploading the exchange to an unsuspecting internet population is an appropriate gag for such a game

[@explorianguy]

yeah who in their right mind would put that there

[@g--stef4756]

Man, it's a pity this game wasn't finished, but I wish the dev good luck if they're still at it. Thanks for the review, and best of luck to you as well!

[@canaconn2388]

They abandoned it for a furry dating sim

[@explorianguy]

​@@canaconn2388 wait is that real? could you elaborate?

[@seamusquain2706]

Hey, thanks for covering Frog Days, I'm genuinely surprised anyone else dug this deep into the game before! However, The link you put in the description for the research notes isn't working, it just leads to a screen saying "secure connection failed" & I can't do anything. Do you have an alternative way to access them for viewers? Because I am REALLY curious what's inside the game now that the game's been dug through as deep as it did.

[@explorianguy]

do you know of a good place where I could put it up? I tried pastebin, but it doesn't let me put up the research notes because it contains some links edit: I included an alternative link to the research notes in the description

[@yodal_]

2:45 The... what? I've watched the entire video and at no point am I sure what's going on both in and out of the game

[@TheLuckyTeletuby]

I just wonder how long it took to make games like this back then. Cuz this is terrifying to make even today.

[@wyattbrookes]

I hope more people watch the video, don't get discouraged looking at the analytics! This is great, a new crowd just needs to find it since most of your viewer base is DRG fans. I however love both so all is good for me.

[@explorianguy]

really the best way to increase my chances is to share my stuff

[@wyattbrookes]

@@explorianguy Will do!

[@D3lpDelight]

its more like interactive gallery

[@kingozzy7075]

I'm trying to play right now, but I need a username and password or something? Clicking help tells you you have to have an account with nhuarq or something like that? Cant find any info online, would love some help thank you!

[@kingozzy7075]

Okay I'm watching the video and holy shit, the way you scripted this or whatever is so good. I wish more people did it like this. Like just naturally

[@explorianguy]

did you try writing in anything you want and then logging in?

[@isitha8255]

after playing Yume Nikki and other similar games like that for more than a year now, I don't know if I should be afraid or proud that this game didn't surprise me much with its weirdness

[@chaosstar4683]

The "Hello world" in-game website feels kind of thematic with how the game's developer has been feeling about his project.

[@Katy133]

Thank you for this video! I'm a fan of pre-rendered video games and games with interfaces like Hypnospace Outlaw, so it was interesting to see the interface of this game. I wanted to ask, is there any way to look at your research notes still? I tried the link in your description, but I got a Forbidden 403 error message screen.

[@explorianguy]

it seems that the website rebranded once again... try this link for those notes: pastebin.ai/egabkmmiyo

[@Katy133]

@@explorianguy Unfortunately, it's still not working (same 403 error).

"Everyone comes back sweating after visiting the chess club!" "Had a nice time visiting the mall, haven't you!?" "You've been messing around in that secret place, you cheater!" - might refer to what I dubbed as 'void' "You blew it, again, right infront of everyone in the boardroom!" - not entirely sure if this references an existing world or not "Bet you learned a lot at that debate, didn't you?" "Swimming around, messing with all the windchimes!" "You must think you're *** stuff after screwing around with that volcano!" "You didn't even wipe your feet, and now you're tracking paint all over the place!" "You crashed the computer! Maybe next time don't push it so hard, okay?" "Visiting with your biggest fan, hmm?" "ICUP huh? I see you pee? You think that's funny?" - could be an alternate line for the 'brain world' "Yukking it up at summer camp!" - evidenced by the archive.org description, I believe thie evolved into 'carnival world' >>> these same lines being used as guides for how to access certain worlds makes me think the game was uploaded by the developer * unused riddle for mustard snake "It appears as the color yellow. Useful to a pirate fellow. If you bite it, it bitesss back... If it gets in your eyesss. It hurtsss, like a heart attack." * seems the talk system was originally planned to be utilized a ton more, but was scrapped mid development * tons of mini-games for making cash are nowhere to be found aside for some remnants of the lemonade minigame in room8 * in the game files a 2 frame animation can be found of a naked furry character pissing with a detailed cock and pointing the middle finger at you with a smug face, this is real * developer claims to have "added probably the worst and very secret easter egg imaginable on a whim. Though I wonder how many games have really super difficult and obscure easter eggs that no one will ever figure out(without performing a software autopsy) because they're that well hidden away." * official beta gameplay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6m0anawmcqSg5Y * tons of development screenshots and clips can be found on the forum: forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=49317.140 === other notes ================================================================ * if you didn't figure it out yet, press CTRL+X to open up a debug menu used to instantly travel to various rooms * BACKSPACE gives some mini-game debug that crashes most of the time * user: adminer pass: wordpass (works during the ending sequence only) * click on the toilet roll in toilet world * answer to the snake riddle is tomato * if your game is stuck: press ALT+X to close the game or you'll have to use the task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) * pressing ALT+D on the desktop will quite literally clean the desktop, nothing changes though

So cool to see an in depth video on this wonderful game. Big respect for going through the effort to data mine the game, super cool to see some of the stuff that didn't make it into that final build.

[@r.g.g.g.951]

Looks like something that might've inspired "juice adventure"

[@gurntsaltta7421]

i've been absolutely loving your videos Explorian!! of course i discovered your channel and enjoyed your vids mainly for the DRG stuff but i just love your voice, writing and editing, so even non-DRG stuff like this video or your video on Rodentlikes i really really enjoy

[@canaconn2388]

So what you're telling me, is there's animated furry porn in the game files... 💀

[@celestialowl8865]

Super cool! If I may make some recommendations, escape from lavender island tastes similar. LSD dream emulator is another classic, but what you may but what you may not know is that osamu sato, the man who made LSD dream emulator makes a lot of fun music like "Done". Lastly, while its far more concrete I'd also recommend everhood down this rabbithole. Hope you enjoy any or all of these as much as I enjoyed this video.

[@explorianguy]

hell yeah I loved dream emulator

im lowkey mad this video doesnt have more views cuz this is a masterpiece

Привет, недавно нашел твой канал и заинтересовался. DRG это очень классная игра и я хочу сказать тебе огромное спасибо за все твои видео про него, но я нашел ещё один биом, который ты забыл изучить. Это биом из обучения, и мне кажется что его тоже будет интересно разобрать. Please use translator, my english is too bad)

Aah yes, the kind of game I absolutely love but would never play myself. Thanks for diving into it! I'm sure this game would see great success if it were finished.

Hi, I recently found your channel and I want to thank you for all your content. By the way, I want to ask you to disassemble another biome from DRG - a location from training. She is special in her own way. I'm sorry if the translation is not clear
