I figured this would just be a straight foward game where you bought a house... and then realized the plumbing needs to be redone, and all the electrical work needed to be redone, the roof was falling apart... oh and the taxes. Maybe a bit too real for a game though.

[@bluebeka2458]

Then you have to pay for stuff also more and more things need to be fixed or to pay for ensurance and all, then you woke up standing at your window and realise that you never had the chance to enjoy life, because you have to take care of so many things and you never gona have time for yourself, then reaching the point in your bed, waiting for the sweet relase of the eternal sleep. Time had passed all too fast for you and you growed old. There is nothing more to do to change your choices now, because is too late, you can see the light that brings along billions of your memories gathered on your life, you regret all of the times when you said that "you will take some time for yourself", but you never did.

[@pipipipurple]

This was so close to being fantastic imo. The idea of going on a virtual house tour and just seeing small evidence of something sinister that went on in the house beforehand is brilliant. Unfortunately they took it too far and it stopped being scary with all the overt references to the spooky things in the house. Plus the ENTIRE end part should've been cut. If the game ended where he said "is the game over?" it would've been good and creepy, despite not taking the premise to its full potential. The last part with the ground beef monster and the endless hallway was just... Comical

[@lucasrodriguez550]

Thats the point

[@inumizuno]

Pretty sure that was a whole point of the ending part. I admit it was too exaggerated but the game is making fun of the whole house (imo). The house is used on hundreds or thousands of cheap spooky games on steam, so to my understanding the ending part was to over exaggerate that example.

When you saw the reflection in the glass I thought it was going to be a slower burn than it ended up being. I think there's something there for a more subtle game where the player gets to view creepy things caught when a location was photographed, maybe for a house recreation like this or maybe for a streetview or something. This was alright and genuinely pretty creepy, but it did slightly lose me a bit when everything started to go crazy. Great usage of the stock image guy though.

i know he said the concept of walking thru a virtual open house and you uncover a murder happened there is corny, but like.. that was the scariest part of the game for me tbh. idk i think if it was more subtle, you toured more houses, and perhaps slightly differing crimes happened in the various houses, then it would work. i think the shovel outside was a nice touch because it makes sense - the drones are just doing 3d scans of what's around them, and so would include something like that. the faint reflection in the cabinet is also pretty good, as is the killer peeking from the closet, not knowing he's being recorded (though i did think it was the victim's body at first). so just focus on that, and not the corny satanic ritual shit. idk maybe ddlc gets my hopes up for things like that :,)

[@levelscrub5972]

Absolute FACTS!

[@DuskZiOXofficial]

@@The_Totes_Adorbs Lol 2 year later reply, but the house isn't "stolen", it's a free asset house that's found in a lot of games

[@UltimateExplosiveGaming]

that fireplace is gonna bug me for the entire video, it's in a carpeted living room while the guy says it's a real one, and he says it's a brick fireplace when it's not made of brick

[@xxbabybatxx0067]

I love watching Manly play the silliest horror games because his personality makes it so much better than other gaming channels

[@madmaverick]

My KZbin app decided to shut itself down at 12:50 and scare me shitless. Impeccable timing and good spooks.

[@malmamia8912]

This house is the same as the house from the game House Party, a poorly made porn game

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

That's because it's the HQ Residential House asset from the unity store.

[@thebadegg8937]

THATS WHAT I SAID

[@kinkajuu1]

you mean, pornly made poor game ;)

[@JustKeith665]

I was just thinking the same thing

[@charge2025]

Eh, I've seen worse

[@xxxxxx-kk7vv]

"Hey, can you give me some details on this?" *Man arrives with sewn mouth and eyes.* "Great."

[@Nn-3]

The quick turns are a really clever way to implement a scare in a static game environment

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

The entire house was straight-up taken from House Party...

[@Nn-3]

@@The_Totes_Adorbs I meant the 90-degree rotation of the camera during the clickthrough tour, such as the closet scare.

[@Nn-3]

@The_Totes_Adorbs Also, it's just a stock asset. It's been used by hundreds of indie games.

[@ReesesBees]

@@The_Totes_Adorbs It's a Unity asset that anyone can use.

[@StrangestDangest]

The too many cooks reference make me think about how much this reminds me of too many cooks and this house has ppl in it

[@kumi5560]

THE WAY MANLYS VOICE WENT FROM “formal businessmen” to *-HEY-* I SWEAR FOR THAT MOMENT I COULD HEAR THE MICS SUFFERING 💀

[@Val_420]

Although I see that many would have preferred a more subtle terror, I feel that it could also have been a more parodic terror to the generic games that use that same house. Aside from possible general horror cliches, seriously this house gives me great slasher movie vibes and I love it

[@just_fishfish]

The hallway bit scared me so badly, because I was constantly expecting a screamer jumpscare or an unsettling sound to pop up around every corner 😭

[@carbohydration9251]

11:10 uh oh, someone hasn't been flossing

[@SimpleWerks]

I've watched Manly play this first then other letsplayers who I subscribe to. I appreciate Manly is the only one so far I've watched who would click and make the realtor pop up with the stitched eyes and mouth. Manly's thoroughness in his lets plays are something I greatly enjoy and appreciate so much

[@LiliumSnow]

I see Monika decided to go into real estate after she graduated from high school ...

[@var1an_0nline]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[@Borgia5119]

They should make a 2024 version of this game. No need for blood, the price of real estate and the existential dread of lifelong debt would put me into shock.

[@bluerose5529]

I'm too broke to move out ;-; Edit: I changed my mind, I don't wanna move out

[@maceymiller6972]

6:00 manly: hey, can you give me some details on this? (bloody saw) agent: 😵 manly: great. i’ll take it.

[@Amelthon]

this game is super corny and i hate how badly it actually freaked me out alas i am a coward

[@Bluesit32]

Corny? Perhaps...but the scares in the beginning were quite tense. Especially the slightly open door on the second floor. You can easily miss that and for some reason that makes it more unsettling. Because it's looking at you...and you may have never noticed.

[@var1an_0nline]

I was also scared. I don’t know how they did it, but it just feels... eerie... and wrong... like I couldn’t watch this full play through the first time without looking away from the screen

[@william3958]

creepiest thing about this is how the left most cabinets have knobs on the left, meaning they’ll open in the wrong direction: an aesthetic and functional monstrosity

[@schneeli8198]

The layout of the house is the exact same of some other horror game icant remember the name. Where you are hunted by your sister because you killed your family or something.

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

A lot of horror games used this asset. John Wolfe did a video about it too. It's the HQ Residential House from the Unity Store.

[@XxMine231xX]

The game was called 'the survey'

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Huh.

[@imhappy7632]

It fits in with the aesthetic of the game since this house had a series of bad events. Kinda like a haunted house

[@axuwu6939]

As someone who once spent hours looking through an actual one of these real estate virtual tour things for… personal reasons, I’m impressed by the accuracy this game has to them! Like, the dude in the reflection at around 5 min in? It looks like how in the actual virtual tour, if you look in any reflections, you can see the camera or cameraman just there, facing the same way no matter where you look at it from

[@luissantiago5163]

Oh is it the recession again? XD

[@caffeinecatsandsarcasim4276]

The most terrifying part is this is the EXACT layout of my neighbors house like that’s terrifying

[@ChipsMicrochips]

The agent's sewn mouth and eyes at 6:03 was the scariest part for me. It definitely went downhill towards the end but had some brilliant creepiness at the beginning.

[@george_yassington]

The whole square footage maze was straight out house of leaves lmao! That's great!

[@cerastiumtomentosum9031]

I didn't know I could buy the backrooms to live in! I hope I can get homeowners insurance on it.

[@hawklebird4939]

Just realized this is the house from house party just missing a room and back yard

[@JGerrity]

Looks like the perfect house for a house party (minus living room and office)... or really blowing off Steam in many ways...

[@sydliminal]

huh. I guess I'm in the minority thinking that this is actually pretty tense and genuinely unsettling. the way the turns during the tour are very on-rails, very deliberate, it creates this supense like turning a page. I actually like the surrealism of subtle changes giving way to this total structural decay. the _lack_ of sound is used so well - it really makes the sounds it _does_ use _that_ much more effective. a very good example of "less is more" I think it's a bit more layered than just "oh it's a tour of a house where a mass murder happened," yknow? bc you get juuust enough details of exactly how it went down - the hair ripped out from the scalp, the scratches along the walls, the murderer hiding in the laundry room closet. I think the reflection in the cabinet door might be of his hanging body - signalling that we're _playing as_ the killer, and telling the story of a family annihilation/murder-suicide. and I think juxtaposing that with this cheery corporate tour of an idyllic family home - literally _thee_ hq residential house - is very clever, actually. I don't feel like this is the kind of game that _needs_ big, punchy scares and I don't understand this posturing in the comments of having to couch the admission of being scared in these sorts of "I'm ashamed to admit this creeped me out," "this was so cheesy but it freaked me out," "this actually scared me but I guess I'm kind of a coward lol" statements. idk I just think it's actually really well done

[@sydliminal]

you get this full picture of the _struggle_ of it all without actually _seeing_ it happen. front door left ajar, the empty spot in the garage where the shovel was, the killer laying in wait in the laundry room closet, him capturing his victim and dragging them as they scratch at the wall for purchase - it's all very quietly disturbing. and portraying it through an open house - a fresh start for a happy family, and with the quiet corrections of the things you're not supposed to look at, it's like this grim reminder that once all evidence of what happened there is scrubbed away, the house goes back on the market for some other family who will likely take the very same virtual tour.

[@TotallynotaltaccBD]

09:20 his scream scared me more than the face.

[@虚パンクvoidpunk]

why is this actually creepy 😭🥺

[@MCrex1234]

Manly sounds so different, what a difference only a few years makes

[@MaxC_1]

It just sounds like a better mic along with getting better at speaking and presenting. Pitch might have dropped a bit over time however

[@konstance13]

The combination of your voice with this game's initial music is incredibly soothing.

[@rebelsnowflake15]

Coming back years later to say the real horror is that primary bedroom is literally bigger than my entire first apartment.
