Night Freak: A Kid Makes Bad Choices When His Parents Are Away in this Freaky PS1 Styled Horror Game

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

This is a new game by the creator of The House and Haunted Horror Stories (in fact it may even be the same house as HHS). Little Jimmy really seems to have a death wish in this one! :)

[@oscarraymond5737]

This developer is incredible. The House had tension that I totally wasn’t expecting, and one of the jumpscares made me feel like I was gonna cry. Brilliant stuff, I’m glad there’s more games made by this person/people

[@TheRealNormanBates]

Do you have links to those? I’m guessing one of them had the spider house at the end?

[@goteamslugs]

Did anyone notice that white appliance near the table move?

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

Wow, a tiger escaped in the nearest area! Better go running around outside at night!

[@atticusrex9468]

I mean in his defense…free tiger.

[@prehanramsamy6728]

There have so many questionable motives in video games, and you find this strange...?? 😂😂

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

They aren't questionable if you consider horror protagonists are us but without a self-preservation instinct because they don't know they're in a horror work. They're like kids gleefully and ha ha ha-ing run into a wall of fire while we helplessly watch. What is even the point of going out to get eaten by a tiger if you don't even intend to pet it?

[@ashleyguthrie572]

"Looks like a syringe pit." Like that's a common thing that we've all seen before. Bog standard syringe pit. Just the usual.

[@christopherkelley1664]

It's common here in Portland

[@V3RTIGO222]

Swindon ahoy

[@pandosham]

never heard of the great Pennsylvania syringe pit ?

[@bluumuun]

City Hall must be run by Dems. They'll never catch that tiger.

[@spadeyspacely]

I love a game that gets the music right, and just doesn’t drop anything in. It doesn’t have to be some well thought out, over the top stuff. Simple ambient style phrases like this has really helps shape the atmosphere. It almost even made me reminisce.

[@Lord_Deimos]

ABG keeping it true when he tried to look up porn, 100% relatable.

[@friendformationbot]

this isnt the point but it makes me so, so sad to see younger siblings being treated badly by older siblings. im grown up now and i regret every single time i was mean to my little brother. sometimes siblings are just awful people and theres nothing you can do about it but avoid them, but please, if you have younger siblings and they are just regular people and want to spend time with you, try to be kind to them whenever you can spare the time and energy. it means so much to them and they will be all you have left of your birth family when you are an adult and your parents are dead. but if your family is abusive though just get the hell away from them as soon as possible. you dont have to be nice to anyone who is shitty to you.

[@jaidev777]

Everything ok with you and your brother? I get the sense you both have been through a lot.

[@UncleButterworth]

"syringe pit" "It looks like a syringe pit." Sounds like hell, alright.

[@EvilLordCanas]

certified SAW 2 moment

[@planescaped]

I mean, I've got a couple syringe pits in my cellar, doesn't everyone?

[@planescaped]

That is the most kidnapper friendly treehouse I have ever seen. Let's build it where nobody can see! lol

[@risex1594]

That model is not a child is an adult scaled down lmao

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

He's got a growth disorder! ;)

Exactly was my first thought. The proportions are so wrong.

[@oscarraymond5737]

It’s like when directors cast young adults as children and let editing do its magic

[@lingricen8077]

happens a lot, like in ffxiii

[@ianfinrir8724]

[@micheal7932]

Honestly, games like this and the Until Dawn games really make me appreciate games like the Lakeview Cabin series so much more. For those who don't know, Lakeview is a cryptic open-ended horror movie game where the player has to figure out how to survive. There are no straight roads, no checklists, no hints, and you can't just hide while hoping the killer will eventually leave. When you fail, it's completely your fault and not the fault of intentionally dumb characters.

[@loganjorgensen]

Funny it's the little details, retrieving a lost credit card from a safe, burning Flash games for my unmodded PS1, and now I'll just plug this USB digital camera into this vintage 80s laptop. Aw life in 1980/90/00, so nostalgic.😄

[@ecstasyakadarks]

Lol my thoughts exactly

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

well if the guy made the game used a dreamcast or a sega sarturn or maybe a sega cd it would have been more believable because they didn't have protecting on them.

[@loganjorgensen]

Mainly I tend see a complete lack of format knowledge in simulations, they just put things together randomly and it comes out unintentionally abstract. A good early 3D example was putting objects inside rooms that wouldn't fit through the visible doors heh.@@zsewqthewolf1194

[@lucasfraczek4320]

Wha...that's it?! Nah that was way too short, this game needs way more!

[@EvilLordCanas]

This game was incredible, easily on par with Puppet Combo's work. Spring Rabbit truly has mastered this format of horror, I can't wait to see more from this developer.

[@greennmiles4517]

24:40 Not gonna lie, this made me laugh. Everything just got all serious and spooky but then boy just... face plants. Probably not meant to be some crude fall gag, but it come across as such.

[@craigmorris954]

This was a very interesting horror game, but I felt it has a few plot holes like how are the events in this game connected to the disappearance of those campers & the zoo tiger, not to mention the mysterious van. But the 2 mini-games seem to tell about the campers & the van. Is it possible that the kidnappers are responsible for all the above. The note at the kidnapper's hideout says they use to work as circus freaks, but decided to do this business of kidnapping people & kids, but for what, to film them being killed as what that last scene showed. So they're in the business of making snuff films, those sick bastards. Scary but great horror game, even when you went down the upstairs hallway to the left, then the stalker came from the other way, horrifying. By the way, great channel you have ABG.👍

[@zsewqthewolf1194]

i feel like the kid could have lived if he stay in the tree house and pull up the letter up so no one can get to him until morning comes

[@jd2792]

​@@zsewqthewolf1194its not hard to climb that tree let alone

Damn... I hope this is just a demo, this can't end like this

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

2:38 the witnesses must have been high on crack if they saw a wandering van.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

It might have been a wandering Van Halen!

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

[@christopherkelley1664]

I was wondering if the kid would escape but then I remembered it's an indie game. Protagonists must always lose in an indie horror game.

[@JohnCharb87]

That code on the safe keypad will work one of these days. There is a certain charm with these games from The House creator. I like the old cartoons playing on the TV.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, hopefully someday! Yeah, I really love the vibe of this dev's games. A nice blend of charm, horror and downright weirdness! :)

[@JohnCharb87]

@@AlphaBetaGamerAgreed. There is a sense of mystery and dread. It makes you ask who are the shadow people? Why are they kidnapping? Who is the Night Freak? etc...

I get the feeling his brother is one of those people behind the camera and set him up.

Is that cid from toy story

[@Onyx1987]

Your videos have shot up in quality, the editing is crazy good. Thank you for your vids!

[@sognar2240]

I was sure the tiger would be some kind of a comic savior in the end - like It'll attack a kidnaper. Kinda disappointed :(

I was a bit skeptical about the title, but I'm halfway through the video and I can confirm : kid got a death wish

My main take away from this is that the kid has a tree house with an electrical system wired up strong enough to power a gaming set up.

game itself was excellent but the story was incoherent at best. Lots of grounded elements mixed with supernatural. It's good to have some ambiguity but a bunch of plot points and clues didnt mesh or converge successfully.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Basically just like some old b-film from the 80s. I'm pretty sure it's entirely intentional.
