How Popgoes Arcade Subverts Expectations

He swears all the time on the Easter

Ah yes, Popgoes Arcade. The official spinoff to the hit game five nights at freddy's on steam for 4.99 including the Machinist expansion.

[@le_mann_bot]

Are you talking about Popgoes arcade, the game that costs only 4.99 and includes the Machinist expansion?

[@Vulnresati]

Yo that's true!!

[@Irish_Enderman]

Only 4.99 on steam? For 2 great games? THAT'S A STEAL!

[@miguelantonioteodorodossan278]

While playing Popgoes Arcade, it's really easy to forget how you're actually playing as someone else playing the arcade, so when Bonnie's hand breaks through the glass it's quite an effective "jumpscare" and even better since it's not an earrape like the regular FNAF games.

[@casualey]

I popped in for a few of these streams and it was always fun even if I was lurking in chat One of my favorite moments was Lyra replicating alternate speech over and over again, that's such an ability and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get spooked lmao

[@Pastraspec]

That freaked me the hell out

[@le_mann_bot]

@@Pastraspec My favorite being the shadow voice and the base game's rebuilding portion freaking you the hell out

[@witchBoi_Connor]

I- I missed that part and I've been watching the vods.

[@bwaindead5539]

When you found the axe in the well, the way the music stopped and a second later you uttered the most genuine "what the fuck" i have ever heard in my life was absolutely perfect. And you had the exact same genuine reaction when you phased through the wall in the castle. That shit legitimately made me shiver.

[@dr.loboto1171]

It's really endearing how Pastra always reacts to everything like a kid playing a video game for the first time in their life.

I want a loop of Pastra screaming “it’s Morse the Mole”

[@thegoon3840]

I’m just astonished how freakin FAST these videos come out relative to the streams that happen before hand.

[@exigency2231]

Yeah, I hope Pastra doesn’t burn themselves out.

[@ryanfahed7540]

I love how Pastra chooses to make videos about games he likes. It’s really refreshing just to see someone talk about something that enjoy

[@Steve_SBU]

Hell yeah my favorite creepy pastra boy, loving the content!! I love hearing positive critics and hearing you gush about horror media is so refreshing, plus your voice is super soothing to listen to, never change man!!

[@poke-charlie]

“ITS MORSE THE MOLE” jump scared me even more than the black rabbit coming out of the machine regardless, amazing video!! i recently found your channel through the walten files episode video and i highly enjoy it!!!

[@thatzenoguy2577]

This has nothing to do with the video but all of your thumbnails and art that you make for each upload are utterly bonechilling and amazingly well crafted, keep up the great work.

[@MusiciansRule07]

I'm glad you're expanding into live streaming and that you're enjoying making content, not just for FNAF but for all your videos. You can tell by the high quality. Thanks for your positivity in the fandom, your PHENOMENAL art (do you take commissions? I know you're busy but if you do...), and for everything. And happy 190K subs! I've been here since before 10K and it's lovely to watch your channel grow. Have a good one! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜👩🏾‍🎤

[@bluecheese7447]

One detail I loved about this game was how you see the actual arcade machine when playing the game. Not only does it serve as a unique visual style, but the true first person perspective kind of put me back in the simulations of FNAF, making me actually predict that there was going to be a jumpscare hidden somewhere in this game. I knew it wouldn't be obvious because it wasn't advertised as a horror game, but something told me that playing with this perspective of actually being a human playing an arcade machine just had me side eyeing everything the entire time. Then I saw the Bonnie battle and the following scene, and I was literally screaming "I KNEW IT I KNEW IT"

[@farawayxgalaxy]

Alas this is a popgoes promotion In all seriousness I’ve been in love with this game as well. It always puts a smile on my face to hear your take on things and to hear you excitedly gush about what you’re passionate about. Thank you for creating such a positive place and community :)

[@GamingAgeYT]

I gotta say, I missed your stream for The Machinist to play it for myself, but I've gotta say, I'm glad I made that decision. Seeing a literal DEAD BODY in this game was a shock, as FNAF is usually seen as a tame horror franchise, so I have to say, Popgoes Arcade was a great game.

[@insertnamehere1398]

17:06 a very similar thing happened in the very first popgoes arcade but after the dead forest game was canceled, it got retconned out of existence

[@NiceDemonQueen]

I love this video. Awesome overview of the game. You are an awesome YT streamer.

[@harlequis]

seeing Clyde move up and down on beat with the "what the fuck" is easily my favorite part-

[@Scarlet8375]

I was there for the streams and it was so fun. And I ended up buying the game afterwards. I love how the game subverts your expectations and becomes a lot more than you think it would be at first because of the simplicity. Also, the part when Bonnie breaks the cabinet is so cool

[@RogelioALoya]

This game seems pretty interesting! I didn’t really stay for the stream cause I’m not really into rpg let’s plays but this video made me want to play it myself. Also ITS MORSE THE MOLE

[@Irish_Enderman]

I saw your streams on this game on I remember thinking "oh this is pretty cool" but didn't think much of it until you did the whole black rabbit thing, I wasn't very knowledgeable on Popgoes lore at that time (and still don't know everything) but now, Popgoes is definitely my favourite FNaF fangame series and I can't wait for Evergreen

[@gameknight72]

You’re my favorite KZbinr with no exceptions. If I had money I would donate it to you because your personality and content is amazing!

[@sk4rletsusern4meisth1s]

Ngl, this was the best stream in your channel so far! I loved how you and Lyra both had good times playing this, I love how you two cooperated, especially Lyra Legit turning into shadow the hedgehog. Overall, spooky stream! Nice job :)

[@lolbitnerdy9820]

Popgoes has become a legendary fangame at this point

[@chickensky1121]

Hearing you and Lyra freak out about Morse the Mole is so wholesome and I love it. Great video lmao.

[@sarahhachmuth6499]

I love how positive Pastra always is. It's led to him being one of my favs because many seem to be so negative in the gaming/ FNAF community

[@The_Archer-he2ft]

wow, now that is an impressive usage of an arcade cabinet that I don't think ive ever seen before, absolutely chilling

[@joshc5613]

that jumpscare when the game stops and the REAL black rabbit literally breaks out of the cabinet is insane, Kane is a genius

[@Thevoiceimpressionist]

I just want to say your videos are always amazing and the art always freaks me out in a good way and is always so creative and im always amazed by how much effort and love is put into these videos i dont get why you dont have a milion subscribers cuz you deserve it

I love the pose you had for Clyde just before you mentioned Morse the Mole for the first time. Just all blown out and very low quality compared to his normal shots to really emphasize the cartoonish nature he already has. Very nice. c:

I have to say that, being there to watch your livestreams was one of the most fun experiences I've had in a while. From Lyra's impressions, to you geeking out, to my name being mentioned in a livestream for the first time in my life. I just had such a great time! And to top it all off, this video was posted on my birthday! So, I just wanted to say, if all your livestreams are like that, then I want to be there for every single one. You are amazing. ☺🥰

out of curiosity, do you have an opinion on the youtube series/creator boisvert? i've found the story to be quite compelling, though thats probably just because i go back and rewatch it once a month lol. im pretty sure thats the only way you CAN pick out the story given the nature of the series and even if you decide not to talk about it, i think you might like it or find it interesting

[@koil475]

I enjoyed seeing your freak out, I didn't watch the streams when you were streaming but on KZbin, also I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who noticed this Pastra is Orange, Lyra is Purple and Kane is Green, the three secondary colors (well until Lyra's Popgoes skins) also the brief appearance of GoMotion appearing who is Red, like they were one of the bases to make either Pastra or Lyra. Did I just create unneeded Lore?

Wow you have nearly 200k I remember watching you when you had like 20K, keep up the grind good sir.

[@absolutemattlad2701]

This is easily one of my favorite channels right now, just wanted to let you know. The chill vibes and nice analysis of cool horror games I didn't know about before, paired with your dope character and distinct art style, make it really distinct to me among the other similar channels. Also, if you're reading this yourself Pastra, I suggest you keep an eye on the game The Keeper if you aren't already. It's another indie horror game about a lighthouse keeper, and from what I've seen of the demo it's really caught my eye kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCvpHmwgLllprc

something I REALLY love about Pastra's content is how they always include a trigger warning at the beginning of each video. like I'm watching this relatively late and in a chair without a back alone in my room, so I didn't really want to experience much shock factor, but I still really wanted to watch some good old Pastra bc hes such a goober, so I click on one of their videos and wham, there's a warning for jumpscares in the very beginning!! it's a little thing but it's something that myself and others really appreciate, and overall it kind of made my night. Thank you for being a cool and careful person, Pastra!

One thing I noticed is that the mangle boss fight tells us what’s has happened and what’s gonna happen to Bonnie/blackrabbit Flesh and fur (…what do you want it’s flesh just no fur) Then bare bones (being trapped in the arcade game) Now a cloud of thoughts piloting a dead machine (blackrabbit if she’s fully assembled ) I took that as we as a player would have to defeat Blackrabbit with them being scared as they fall apart and fade into the aether While sure assuming it’s like the original popgoes blackrabbit is only gonna be assembled in the bad ending but who knows the only lore so far is Bonnie’s story before the game With my popgoes full release maybe having more (or maybe just another false animatronic teaser ) Still wondering the heck’s with with them

[@Starslime1780]

I dropped everything I was doing to watch your streams when they were going on, I definitely plan to watch more of your streams! And this game has become one of my favorite things to come out of this Franchise

[@gofornicatethyself]

i also LOVE the slowed down battle theme in the dead forest part of the first game. even being fully part of the more innocent game, there’s something so eerie about it. it’s moments like those that make the usual game seem strangely off, but still entirely believable to be in some popgoes kids game. it makes the game so far suddenly feel WAY deeper all of a sudden and even without all the terrifying fourth wall breaks, (if the arcade game was the whole game) i would remember that part forever.

AAAHHHHH! So happy you made a video on this game! Watching you stream it was so much fun and your reactions were so genuine and the joy was so contagious! Would you maybe consider checking out "Among the Sleep?" that game MESSED ME UP when I found out about it because of the very deep horror of reality that it chooses to tackle and looking back on it always gives me this melancholic shiver... however if you're already busy with other projects like spooky's mansion which I recall you mentioning, then please focus on clearing your plate! I'll be happy with any posts you have to provide and ALWAYS love your content!
