Rent A Creepy House People Watch You In The Bathroom - Stall / Birdwatcher / RENTAL

So, fun fact, "Umi" is Japanese for "ocean" or "sea" (one of the two, don't recall which). So, Umi's father did, in fact, hear the ocean; he heard the ocean talking to him!

[@33313]

the kanji for both sea and ocean is 海(umi), so it means both ^_^

[@Bob_da_porpol_cat]

That's really cute 😂

[@merigonmeri]

Umi....umi...umineko!!! Umineko fans arise!!!

[@Shokatshin]

So regarding Rental. I'm pretty sure the Rental Man was stuck in the house, and then fled the house by fooling Umi into doing that ritual, which allowed him to steal her body and leave the house. If you compare the face Umi makes at the end to the expression of the Rental Man, they're both exactly the same, which is why I think this happened.

[@SillyTaxEvader]

Oooooh that's wild I thought she just time travel the moment before entering the house

[@rubyylubi]

oh i didnt even thought about that judgy look umi made at the end

[@nigasasdasfasf]

[@taluca8474]

It’s something out of the Witch’s House, the main character escapes from the clutches of the witch but as it turns out, the moment she left the mansion she reveals she brain swapped each other

[@doreenlarson5849]

The chant the bunny says during the ritual “pirika pirilala poporina peperuto” is the magical chant from Ojamajo Doremi (old magical girl anime) that the girls use to cast magic. Manly’s pronunciation was really good for a first time reading :0

[@untitled9895]

I thought so!! It sounded so familiar! What a fun easter egg, doremi needs more love :]

[@82licious]

I recognized it immediately since I grew up with that show!

[@boondogglet132]

the biggest horror sequence for the stall game would be a busy 3pm walmart bathroom where people keep peering into the crack of the stall making an uncomfortable length of eye contact while you are trying to officially pinch one off and wipe.

[@ObeyCamp]

Don't forget the guy rolling a bowl of meth in the next stall. He might show you his nipple piercing if you ask, but he'll _definitely_ show you if you don't ask.

[@Kyumifun]

This is very specific and even more embarrasing than a stalker

[@goobermcnoober8140]

You mean all those times where there's a dude who walks like right up to the door and just 👁

[@themusicdropout473]

@@goobermcnoober8140 Man, that’s how I made two friends in the middle school bathroom when I was younger. Here’s the story, this dude comes walking up to the door like how you said, and I returned the favour after wiping and just intensely stared him down in return. Like it was a random staring contest, and then a third guy walks in asking the other guy what’s taking so long. Then it’s just silent, the dude on the other side of the stall looks at me with this deadass look in his eye, and then looks at his friend. Who finally asks what the hell he’s doing. And all this guy outside the stall says is: “Having a staring contest with this random guy i found on the toilet.” in a monotone voice. Something we laugh about over drinks still to this day whenever it comes up

[@MrTurok999]

@@themusicdropout473 That’s a brilliant story brother, sounds like it’d be a great memory lmao.

[@AstralLarkspurz]

What's funny is that if you play Rental a second time, the ending is completely different. Your family hasn't even reached the house yet and your dad makes a comment about how the fog seems to be getting worse and that you may be lost.

[@JazniaDraw]

Good to know!/gen, I was planning on playing it and was watching Manly's gameplay as a guide

Umi's eyes changed to that of the rental man, it's a body snatching ritual, the Rental Man locked Umi in the house.

[@CheeseMan-9219]

I don’t know man that bathroom being directly connected to the living room was pretty scary stuff

[@iriswinter]

In the birdwatching one, the location is called Mt. Pallas. That name is the most common epithet of the goddess Athena (written as Pallas Athena). She is very strongly associated with owls, they’re her main symbol throughout her mythology. So, that’s a roundabout hint from the developer to expect an owl.

[@KeironaLP]

As someone with a fear of seeing a creepy face peek over or under a bathroom stall door, the first game is terrifying

[@ElRodriPR]

*Agreed*

[@nisenazo]

Oh man I loved that rental man game. The aesthetic felt like a good harmony between both PS1 and N64 tech, had a little bit of that Animal Crossing vibe with the characters while also maintaining the spooky vibe of older horror games. I love that it just ended like an inattentive kid's daydream, leaving you to wonder if the house really was bad news or just Umi spacing out. I think a minor joke that might go over people's heads is that her name is Umi, the word for Ocean in Japanese, her dad mentioned the ocean and there were seagulls (jp: umineko) for ambience in the opening scene. The humor was quite good for a short game about a house that likely won't let you leave.

[@МаксимНиколаев-ы2е]

the house *did* not let Umi leave, sadly. if you pay close attention to the faces of Umi and rental-dental man you will notice that the face Umi makes at the end sequence belongs to the latter. he tricked and trapped the girl inside that haunted house and than tells "nah, i don't think we should go inside the house" to her parents

I especially liked Rental! The style of the characters reminds me a lot of Animal Crossing, whereas the camera angles as you explore the house kind of reminded me of certain parts in Majora's Mask, like your stolen room in the Inn.

Those huge round eyes staring through your soul!

Rental was my favorite of the 3. I like that it wasn't too grim and the art was cute. I also liked how weird it felt for the character to be told that they had to do a ritual and how they winged it. Surreal I think is the word. Bun!

I wish people would name their projects something less ambiguous. Like, it's hard to find people talking or giving their thoughts on Rental because, "Rental review," doesn't help narrow down the search. These games are all good, I just miss when titles were longer.
