The Coin Game - Eerie Arcade Simulation

Today I'm reviewing an Early Access indie title called The Coin Game! Join me on a trip through a dimly lit arcade simulator that surprisingly has more to offer than just arcade simulation.

When he went outside, I expected this to turn into a horror game. Like some awesome horror subplot that you can dive into, with the facade of the game being a silly coin game.

[@AmethystLeslie]

Gotta admit, I thought of this, too, and was slightly disappointed that it didn't turn out to be one. However, it does look legit interesting enough for me to maybe check it out one day.

[@famoussession7426]

[@mrrental7559]

There's only one game that I can recall that did the "normal-looking game turns into nightmare fuel" thing that I actually liked, and that was Pony Island. (Then again, it's not really a secret since the game's description explicitly tells you this was a game made by the in-universe Satan, so it probably doesn't count.) The rest of the recent ones, especially that one overhyped one which I shant speak the name of because it is plainly obvious, are pretty crap.

I feel like this is a horror game, but you're not the main character. There's something horrible happening to someone else off-screen, but from the player's perspective it's entirely happy-go-lucky from start to finish, just with a seemingly unfitting eerie atmosphere.

DoubleDenial Yeah after the success of Doki Doki Literature Club, that sub-genre has really been done to death.

[@ChrisPoindexter98]

I love the subversion of the "masked creepy game" trope by actually being a chill open world but with eerie aesthetics and time of day, instead of being super nice and innocent only to devolve into madness which is finally recently played its course out into a cliché for the time being until it's utilized again in the future.

[@oldchannel611]

Chris Poindexter I agree with this so much, I see a lot of people hoping this will turn out to be a horror game but I feel like that would take away from the games individuality and turn it into just another generic steam horror game

[@oldchannel611]

@King K. Rool Including anything creepypasta-ish in this game would instantly summon MatPat as he attempts to make a baseless absurd, half-baked theory about how the Rasta Banana is secretly a cult leader.. Is that really what you want? You monster.

I actually really like the Line it teeters on. Everything is dark with weird colors. Outside is very eerie, making you rush to the nearest building as quick as possible. You're in no danger, but you just feel uneasy when you're not playing the games. I really hope they don't try and push more to the scary side of things to add like a monster or something. I think if they perfect this strange line they're towing it'll be something genuinely unique. Maybe have rushing cars from Tourists making the Roads unsafe, or random, shady people offering "Jobs" when you're out of cash. I rather it be Eerie, than Scary, if that makes sense.

[@raggedyanarchist]

One of my first jobs was at an arcade! Even back then they were totally out of style and the place was always empty. There were only three employees. Anyway, one day I was really sick, so I tried to call in and the boss said that the other two had already called in, so instead of taking the day off, I had to work a double. So imagine your head is all stuffed up and you're tasked with overseeing a huge dark room full of flashing lights and weird sounds. By about hour 11 I was tripping balls so hard the chef from the adjoined pizza parlour had to come drag me out from behind a Silent Scope machine. Anyway, this game seems to do a pretty good job of capturing that feeling.

Having played this game and living in a small town myself, I can confirm that walking around town is just as eerie but campy as this game.

This game legit looks really cool, I'm actually excited to see what all they add to it. Maybe they could eventually add a little carnival that you can pay to ride the rides and stuff. Perhaps they could also add like a rival arcade or something else along those lines. Or maybe they could add a hidden storyline that has you searching for specific items that do secret things that progress the story. I would definitely want the storyline to be something that you would have to go out of your way to start and finish, something in the background that you could play the whole game without realizing it was there. I don't know, this game just gives me those vibes like something could totally be there...if you would just look a little deeper.

[@texasboykc09]

They did add a carnival at some point, and you can ride the rides lol.

[@FennecFox53]

Now the ufo is a rival! Lets see if the last thing is right.

a hidden mystery, but not necessarily horror

What the hell. I've been subbed to this dude for years, but always ignored his videos in my sub since I didn't really know him. But... his videos are so comfortable. & happy. I've been missing out.

[@quietwehehe]

If it ever gets multiplayer, you and @penutbuttergamer should totally play together.

[@hostiledodo1150]

I like how one of the prizes is literally one of those Rasta bananas you can win at state and county fairs. It gives me a strange and specific feeling of nostalgia.

[@bakerXderek]

Just got this today, weirdly really fun lol.

this looks like a game that's genuinely really fun that i could get lost in for hours at a time but DAMN rasta banana is going to haunt my dreams

[@AceOfWaffles]

I love your videos SO much. My mom and my sister and I always get so excited when a new one comes out. Your videos are a great distractions from my intrusive thoughts and something to do when I'm too depressed to do anything else.

[@camwoodstock]

I think this video needed something, something's missing... It's more Jamaician Banana. Please more Jamaican Banana.

I bought this game, and wow i love this so much. Like seriously I've never had another game make me feel like this. Its like nostalgia for things I've never experienced. If you're on the fence about this, pls buy it. You wont regret it.

I love how the game has this eerie atmosphere but nothing actually bad happens.

GAME REVIEW Just watch Ian and caddy will start fighting again

[@silvesta5027]

That would be the best crossover

[@SureyD]

What a presentation, man! The panning shots really give that "vacation tour" vibe or something. And what an outro, amirite?

[@basementbats]

For anyone who doesn’t know, Ian has VOD streams playing this game on his second channel Moose2 :-) his streams are wonderful I highly recommend

[@HertzBlut]

Came for the review. Purchased the game and subscribed to your channel. Thanks

[@MoeChicken]

Yay! Coin Game review! Congrats on getting this one done, Ian. I'm glad you did, too...I feel like this is a game that deserves some recognition for the amount of effort put into it, and I feel like it might not've gotten that recognition otherwise. Hopefully people will take notice of it and give it a try. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game develops, really. I am especially looking forward to seeing that second arcade open, the UFO one. What games will be there? Will there be something like Teddy and the Ticket Munchers, or will it be some other, non Chuck E. Cheese's style arcade? As a side note, great job on the camerawork for the in-game shots. I'm assuming you got most of it by just recording your first person movement, but they were all smooth and framed well. It almost looked like you were using promo shots from the developer, not captured gameplay footage.

[@Yet_AGOTI-2]

What a FANTASTIC way to transition to the new era of gaming for yourself, Ian! Great to see a review for this! Was fun to watch both there and here.

[@extreme_wrestling3476]

6:21 That banana reminds me of when that one guy spent his entire life savings on a carnival game just to win one of those giant stuffed bananas

[@duckyducktm9197]

Wait WAT-

[@theredeft5319]

What a neat little game. We still have an arcade where I live, but I definitely see much less of them these days. I have a lot of fond memories at the arcades.

[@brycevo]

They did a good job with the Arcade Games. If only it had a few more of the gun games and old fashioned Arcade games

[@Hyreia]

I agree. If they could do something like run an emulator and project it onto a smaller screen in-game. It needs one of those car racing arcade games with the big seats. Those were a classic. I have a fond affection for Cruise N USA.

[@SodaPopBarbecue]

No Pinball or Gachapon, either.

[@MidnightWanderer00]

Wouldn't one of those car driving arcade games with the steering wheel be cool as well?

[@guydude439]

Honestly, I love Go Vacation, and it was one of my favorite games as a child. I thought nobody has ever heard of it, but I am glad brutalmoose has heard of it at least.
