When you're uploading a video to KZbin, you have the option to reuse the title and description from previous videos (given there are some to choose from). I wouldn't be surprised if he just did that with the description (so he wouldn't have to redo all the links in it) and edited it to suit the video and just forgot about the music links. I do it all the time because it just saves me the hassle of retyping everything.

[@mw2zorzest]

So from what I can tell, the husband was some murderer/mad scientist type who killed people and kept/experimented on corpses of presumably his victims in their basement, the corpses then attracted rats and the rats got through the vent and killed the baby, the wife then in some way found out about what the husband was doing, and he, fearful and threatened, murdered and cut up his wife, in the end he blamed the rats for what was obviously his fault which is why he's shaking and squeezing the rat. That's what I feel like I gathered from the game, filling in blanks with my own loose ideas of what the game was about as a whole.

[@leroyjenkins1249]

Scary Facts about Rats: During times of war, Rats become a major danger towards humans. Their eating of c0rpses, evolved into targeting ill, old and incapacitated...which includes babies. During/after the war, a rat invasion was hence a BIG topic. And with modern pest control not really erm "being a thing" yet...people used very interesting tactics. To make it short: You have to make a rat scream. Its screams of terror signal the other rats to abandon ship -at least temporarily. So in that sense, "shaking the rat" as pest control is indeed a thing. Also explains the sight of rats pouring into the crib

Okay, my theory. I think that the main character had a wife and kids but was secretly a serial killer who was hiding his victims under the floor boards, which started to accumulate rats. I think at some points the rats took over the home and ate his baby and he killed his wife but those pictures on the tv before Mark's rat died were pictures of his victims. But I think the rats are this man's hell because rats killed his baby and I'm assuming exposed what he was doing to police or something I just want to comment it so I can claim that I called it once we find out (if we found out) what the plot of his game is about

[@redstretchy4061]

The rats ratted on him

[@durillongaming]

i think the baby + the shaking+ the rat saying "i wonder if a fall from this height will kill me" points towards the dad shaking his baby (possibly out of anger) and killing it, then potentially killing his wife in anger, the game really only hints towards "this house" being "where it happened", indicating that whatever evil thing you did only happened here plus the fact that alcohol is a common motif in the game, abusive negligent father definitely has some ground here. nvmd just got to the hydrocloric acid barrels part, maybe you became a serial killer after being driven insane by the events i described above? also the steam page says "‘Content warnings include but are not limited to: Graphic content: blood, gore, domestic abuse, domestic violence, asphyxiation, strangulation, suffocation, murder, animal attacks. Addiction and Substance Abuse: references to alcoholism Mental Health: hallucinations, phobias, schizophrenia, implications of suicide‘" note the domestic abuse

[@titaniumteddybear]

Here's what I think is happening. The ending makes it clear that the rats symbolize our character's wife. Which means that the scene where the rats attack the crib are symbolic of the wife mistreating the baby in some way. That ties in with the art works that all feature a parent and their dead child (e.g. the Virgin Mary with dead Jesus). When the rat says "I wonder if a fall from this height would kill me" they are referencing the wife dropping the baby, and killing it. The photo of the wife implies that she was having some sort of mental health crisis and was maybe not to blame for what happened. Our character responds to the death of the child by going berserk, and killing her. And the game is about him/us confronting this. Or perhaps just being haunted by her ghost.

This game perfectly encompasses both sides of my personality, grotesque psychological horror and funny rat that tells puns.

[@WilliamOkOkOk]

I am 100% rat that tells puns

[@lotus_flower2000]

so quirky

[@Supermschagodzlla-o6l]

[@BlazingShadowSword]

I could NOT take the horror undertones seriously, not when the rat is so goddamn hilarious. His noises would instantly take me out of the fear and I would start laughing.

[@ShayLaLaLooHoo]

I think this game is a black comedy/parody of all the indie games where the twist is that the protagonist is a bad person being haunted by their sins. With both the horror and the comedic moments being such opposite extremes, it seems intentional

[@Acoltheprotogen]

Mark should not be trusted with free roam, the first thing he does is just stare directly at the sun TwT

And he wonders why Chica does it too 😂

[@shoken4421]

The more mark skakes that rat I'm convinced he's doing the sound effects for the rat offscreen lol

[@EepyGirlLava]

I was to but the rat's VA has been commenting (with quite good taste and humor I might add) in quite a few replies, so it almost certainly is an entirely separate individual from Mr. Mark. E. Plier.

The baby scene really got me because I had seen that something like that happened in real life. Baby eaten alive by rats while the parents ignored the cries...it was censored police cam footage but it's just so harrowing...

I'm so glad mark played this game cause I've been obsessed with trying to work out the lore ever since my friend pointed that maybe the rat's "harder" line has lore relevance 😭

Honestly, my favorite part is the sheer fact that Mark knows who Takahata is. Now, does he know who he was during DBZA and Helsing Ultimate Abridged or after he became a V-Tuber?

[@kyuubinaruto17]

I don't remember what video, but a while back Markiplier did the "Are you... going to eat that?" from the Cell vs Kenshiro video, so I'm pretty sure its from DBZA.

[@michaelmcdoesntexist8350]

It was during DBZA. Fun fact, Mark was almost recruited to voice Broly in the Abridged Broly movie. But the schedules didn't match up and so it didn't work out.

[@torgover-l1n]

In one of his The Forest videos with Sean, he and Mark talked about DBZA, as well.

it's pretty expectedly disturbing, I mean it's a baby implied to be eaten alive by rats, that's pretty textbook disturbing

I actually watched a video the other day where a poor baby had been attacked by rats and they ate the baby's hand like in one of the hands the fingers were eaten to the bone... so idk, live with that knowledge that it can happen... (the adults in the house said they didn't 'notice' until the father went to the baby's room and found the crib all bloody, they got arrested and the baby did survive but gods, what the fuck)
