That's also why I never owned first party Nintendo games except for the NES ones (dirt cheap at fleamarkets) because they'd go for $80 dollars and I could never afford them so I borrowed friends copies or rented.

All horror really needs is something for you to care about and the idea that that thing can be taken away from you as a result of error. In most horror games it's yourself that is the thing you care about, so jumpscares are a lot easier to portray danger. In this game however, the thing you care about is your frog and other frogs, so the thought of these frogs die as a result of your incompetence is what scares and disturbs you. Jumpscares wouldn't make too much sense for this sort of game.

[@bungiecrimes7247]

So you dont like the game? Even though it goes along with your little preach here? Confusion 100 🤔

[@SadFace201]

The things attached to the landscape are actually the beginning, not the end, of their life cycle. In a typical jellyfish life cycle, the jellyfish produces larva/eggs/whatever you want to call it which anchor to a surface, producing a polyp. The polyp is what you see in this game and it grows until mature jellyfish can bud off from the polyp structure. There's also a lot of details that I like about this game. The first is that you immediately realize it's an oxygen economy---it is both your life force and your weapon. The second is that there's something symbolic how the oxygen that keeps you sustained throughout your dive is coming from the very enemy you've sought to destroy. This transitions perfectly into a tense ending where you're not sure if your frog is going to make it back to the surface. However, I don't like how they removed the mechanic where your frog turns redder the less oxygen---not only was this needed to see how desperate you needed oxygen during fights, but it also added a lot of tension at the end where you weren't sure if your frog was going to make it since he became VERY red before getting back to the surface. The third is that I like how the game is somewhat based on science---it showcases a parasite that requires the lungs of another to process oxygen (otherwise it's toxic to them), the lifecycle is taken from jellyfish, and the world seemed to have suffered some disastrous climate change that flooded the world (which is probably what put frogs into more contact with these creatures). I think the game also adds a lot of tension by the addition of fellow frogs you can save, many of which are almost impossible to save without practice. It's a feels-good achievement to save the first few you find, then it becomes horrific as you make the conscious decision to sacrifice your brethren and to prioritize yourself as the game becomes more difficult. Anyway, it's one of those short games that's more art than game (and it does it well). They definitely upgraded the visuals and sped up the gameplay in this remaster.

Oh I remember this game from long ago. It was really interesting back then and still is right now. Glad manly got to play it. Those jellyfish were scary.

So I I just chalked it up to some plant like parasite that came to be when the forest was flooded. But that doesn't seem to be the case

That's the one "complaint" I have about this "remaster". The original had less-detailed graphics, so it wasn't _immediately_ obvious that the "heads" of the "cows" were frog bodies - realizing this _later_ added to the slow creeping horror of the ecosystem. With the cleaner graphics, it's much easier to see this from the very first "cow", and some of the horror is lost.

Such an interesting concept. I assume the idea for the use of the frogs to process oxygen came from the theory that mitochondria actually first formed in ancient single-cell lifeforms when anaerobic eukaryotic cells absorbed and assimilated aerobic bacteria that would process the otherwise toxic oxygen for them, hence why the jellies get killed by oxygen when they don't have a frog attached. And the atmosphere is really well done!

It feels like the underwater version of RainWorld. In a shoooorter format.

[@sluggishkitten]

rain world but frog

[@frougee]

Rainworld but it already rained.

[@Nyktophobiac]

Imagine being an aquatic parasite, attaching to a host, then realizing "oh dang, I can't breath anymore"

[@thecrowinthevoid]

Manly: There's a lot of stuff in the water, makes me think of like a flooded forest. Me: AHAHA-

[@megamushroom]

I love how whenever he sees a frog in a game he references kermit and the muppets haha

[@blutallulah6370]

oh my god they remastered the game that messed me up as a kid?? now all they need to do is make an ao oni remaster and the next generation of kids will get traumatized the same way i did :))

[@Yndd76]

BluTallulah yes

[@wubproductions9755]

I still hear his ankles being broken

[@dakrabking]

[@sarahvanrooyen7280]

The mooses heads are frogs. Now you cant unsee it.

[@mikachandesu3211]

This is the fastest video I've ever clicked

[@kyson7558]

Sameee

[@DeliciousVicious777]

Ditto

[@Soulvale88]

It took me longer than im willing to admit to realize the jelly fish had upside down frogs for heads. I thought they were weird cows for most of the video.

ManlyBadassHero: *gets shocked* also ManlyBadassHero: *Mr Krabs laugh*

[@nma3519]

"sorry to burst your bubble but i aint dying" was highkey such a nice line

[@Reyaleti]

Alternate title: pepe takes swimming lessons to save his drowning friends

[@errortryagainlater4240]

Imagine having to go up against monsters that are actually human corpses stuck to giant parasites 💀 sounds like a silent hill villain

[@Quantum1244]

Dude this game genuinely traumatized me for some reason, maybe the fact that you were drowning in the water and can steal the breath of your friends scared me.

[@ZoroElric]

these old games really have the charm!

[@hibixus5933]

I love how Manly always unintentionally foreshadows the game with his big brain

[@dhampir_days]

honestly as someone who loves frogs and fears drowning, this game was legitimately disturbing. like seeing the poor fellas drown and even the jellies struggle and their noises get louder as you deprive them of oxygen was horrific.

[@kendog84bsc]

That was so weird! It had a really nice sense of scary sea that gets darker as you go deeper. I thought monsters were creepy, and the concept was upsetting like you said. Kinda reminded me of the Ecco the dolphin. Love those horror games where you play as an (non human) animal and beat some monster boss at the end. Feels cute

[@oscargonzalez3599]

It is good to see that Manly has a bigger heart than Mark LOL Mark didn't even try to save the other frogs.

[@ghosty8677]

me, who has thalassophobia waTching this : I'm gonna hate myself so much later-

[@Jay_ish]

I just googled it, I feel sorry for you

[@anirex3919]

MBH: He’s gonna run out of oxygen Me: I wonder if the surface getting lighter symbolizes going into the light Frog: Survives Me: *Years of philosophical training wasted*

[@michaelliu2977]

you can really hear the despair in Manly's voice when his buddies die.

[@Broniaaa]

At first I fought they're some f-uped cows but at the moment these jellyfish started to reattach frogs to themselves I started screaming with anger. It didn't help with these voices to make me think otherwise

[@lilacpen8678]

List of games I never would have thought would be remastered: 1) this

[@theg-man4840]

also Henry Stickmin

[@SatpamKomplek]

That sheer terror when you realize the head is upside down dead frog.. I rewatch it from the beginning and feel the chill it was our brethren from the start.

[@cxxal]

Cute things are dying it's like Ecco, my childhood nightmare

[@dogboa]

this was always one of my favourite games because of how vague and chilling it is. so glad it finally was remastered!

[@zakoppi777]

Oh god, I remember this, all those theories with whatever the hell the things that happen in this game. Ngl I love this game lol, still do after all this years.

[@MangeViggo]

Glad to hear it!

[@funtimefoxy213]

this game is intresting, cus the first time i watched a playthrough of it i saw those moose like jellyfish, and instantly realized their face is an upside down frog
