A funny game where cars try to run you over 

You've been hit by, You've been struck by, Truck

"Horror Games need carefully crafted enemies to instil fear upon the gamer" *This game:* scary car go vroom

my partner described this game as "Crossy road but the cars have had enough of your shit." and i will never forget that description LMAO

The story, if I understand it, Frank has a wife (Unnamed) and daughter (Andrea). Wife dies to illness. Andrea inherited the illness. Frank kidnaps MC to look after Andrea 24/7 while Frank works to pay for her medication. MC didn't like being kidnapped. MC was likely abused by Frank, given the extremity of the circumstances. To escape, MC waited until Andrea was asleep, then killed her. Frank comes into the basement after hearing Andrea was dead, attacks MC, but MC escaped after getting injured. The game is essentially a fever dream caused by pain and bloodloss. Most likely, the cars are Frank trying to kill you, maybe stab you? The police get involved, causing a shootout. Frank is somehow unharmed or escapes and later kills the police. At the end, you get an opportunity to either kill Frank or escape and get help from the police.

This game is like if an neurodivergent person's favorite thing was cars, but they were also deathly afraid of being run over, so the only way to express their love and fear was to make a horror game about it

I’m a simple man. I see spigg, I click.

"You can calm the breathing a bit." You try being chased by sentient cars for an entire night and calm your breathing down. Girl is justified.

My headcanon is the cars aren't possessed, and they aren't even trying to hit you. This is just how people drive after a dusting of fresh snow.

30:20 Grieg would be pissed for being confused with Tchaikovsky, that's Hall of the Mountain King.mp3

As a person without a car, this is exactly what being a pedestrian is like. The amount of times I’ve almost been flattened cause someone just didn’t feel like paying attention in their murder machine is wild

Someone said it in chat and I can't imagine someone hasn't already commented it, but that song was totally Hall of the Mountain King; not Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Incoming vehicular manslaughter. Everyone be advised. Also we have a man skillfully dodging these seemingly sentient cars.

I wish this game had the songs from the vehicles distort with the Doppler Effect. Hearing the pitch get higher as they speed up towards you sounds like a good tension builder.

That is not the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" by Tchaikovsky, it is "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Greig

So this is the origin story of why there are no humans in Cars.

This game is definitely more silly than scary but it's a genuinely good concept. Though I am disappointed you missed the first encounter with the candy van (in the tank museum level), because the way it's initially introduced - where you near it and then it starts blaring rock music before actually moving to chase you - is really funny. I knew Spiff would like it. Also, the dump truck isn't even programmed to attack you in the first level it's introduced in - it targets the police car in the same way the police car targets the other two that chase you, so it's impressive Spiff managed to get killed by it like that. It's a little disappointing that it only shows up twice; I would've liked to see more of it or perhaps a true semi (or even anything with a trailer) since that would be far less controllable for a challenge.

I love how the ice cream truck’s song is daisy bell, it makes me so happy like you have no idea

i saw this on backseat and i either commented or thought “in a week or so spiff’s gonna play this” edit:i never expected to reach 100 likes but this one comment reached (currently) 482 so thanks to those 482 people

I imagine this is how it feels to be a civilian in the Transformers universe. The Michael Bay movies, specifically.

In the first minute, an icecream truck goes flying, spigg ignored logic and phased through a car, and bullied the game, oh yes i cant wait to watch this

This game should have multiplayer were someone tries to get through the game and friends are the cars. Great vid spiff!

8:52 Here we can see a Spiff in his natural habitat absolutely decimating axles.

the wibble wobble radiation vision plus the flickering lights is like a magical spell that instantly gives you a migraine I hate it. 10/10

Every so often, someone reinvents Frogger.

It seems like the cars are turning on their drivers and then attacking all humans. I think the police car was another person who hadn't been killed, then once they kill him (or his own car kills him) he turns on you. I think that's why there's screams from some of the cars

As someone not from America, getting hit by a car is a much more realistic fear than like, getting shot.

0:21 lights, on lights on in the daycare, I warned you, I warned you

26:33 "Parry this you filthy casual" In-game spiff: *parries* In-real life spiff: *dodges*

I like how Spiff found the "look back" button but then instantly forgot it existed less than 30 seconds later.

This is exactly what my intrusive thoughts are like, and I don't mean me driving the car. Holy shit this game is neat

The frog from Frogger: Now you feel my pain.

I used to do this to a friend in gmod with the mad cars addon. I would corner him with 20 high powered sedans, and his stock car couldn't avoid them all. Eventually I figured out that the car mod we had allowed the cars to push off of anything with no reactive force, so I welded 12 of them together into a ball formation. The result was that they could take flight.

30:20 i swear im hearing "in the hall of the mountain king" and ive lost about 10 minutes trying to figure out if im actually right or the editor is and im just going insane

The ice cream truck playing Daisy Bell is a nice touch

Spiff: *This is cool!* The gameplay: 🏃🚗🚙

"so i made a LITTTLE video on it" *Looks at runtime* Ah, 40:00 (But seriously, love you Spigg!)

30:20 Sugar Plum Fairy?? That's In the Hall of the Mountain King lmaoooo

honey, walk the fish for me, spiff uploaded

Imagine if the dev for this game made a multiplayer version where one group controls the cars and one person is the guy

I'm surprised that no one mentioned how this game nailed the atmosphere of a nightmare. Everything is on point: graphics, music, level design, darkness, also the fact that you are chased not by some monsters, but by familiar enough cars driven by hidden entities.

"Thanks, i guess AAAAAGH-" famous last words before getting absolutely walloped by a truck

25:13 When Optimus Prime has had enough of your shit.

I think my favorite part about this video is that I watched another youtuber with a huge phobia of cars driving themselves play this and it was completely toneally different.

Spiff: Are we assuming someone was in that vehicle? A few seconds prior: 28:57

Im only halfway through the video, but I feel confident saying this game gives what it says. It's just a game about homicidal cars, and I love it.

I keep getting jumpscared by the ice cream truck??!!?? I watch it speed towards Spiff and i still jump when i see the death screen lmao

This is what Steven king envisioned when he made maximum overdrive

This is a super cool concept. Executed pretty well too! I feel like this game in a more arcadey style would pop off as well. Like a crazy taxi type aesthetic, very over the top and gamey. But i think the horror angle complements the excitement of dodging the cars decently well too

yk funnily enough ive had dreams like these ever since i was a child, of just existing in a dream and almost getting flattened by a car, lets just say im 27 years old without a drivers license and leave it at that ps: i had one recently but i think its my own fault, if you think of something bad happening in a dream it often times happens, seeing as this is one of my fears so to speak, ive just been manifesting my torture all these years

I love the idea this game comes up with, mostly because trying to avoid cars that are actively trying to run you over is terrifying, but I just wish this game did more with the idea, its way too short I feel, and would benefit greatly if there was a custom level function, or a map pack/playlist feature. As for the story, I always liked the idea that this was some form of purgatory the protag was earning the right to leave, or join the reapers in chasing down other sinners stuck there. (Remember, regardless that the protag was probably justified in what they did, they still killed a child, hence the purgatory thing.) Anyways, good vid Spiff, I thought this game was dope, and glad to see that you played it!

As the great Lightning McQueen once said... "Ka-chow"

This is the funniest horror game I’ve ever seen. Spiffs commentary only makes it funnier

This is basically just the one old gmod addon making cars hunt and chase you down but a full fledged game.

I knew Spiff was gonna play this. As soon as I saw that backseat played played this game (and that Spiff saw it), I could tell that Spiff was gonna make a video on it. I even made a comment saying that on Backseat's video.

the beeps at 9:16 sound EXACTLY like my front door's code lock so i'm convinced that this is actually a horror game made for people with that specific type of door lock

Spiff going zoomies. Call the Rambulance

I agree vehicular mansaughter IS hilarious.

Ahh, what a great *playthrough* from such an amazing *playthrough* RU-vidr. Gotta love all these *playthroughs* he does for us. He truly knows his side of the internet.

These are somehow the most efficient jumpscares I've seen in a while. Just vehicle full sending it into your face.

This game is just the Trans-Canada Highway when there's a fresh layer of black ice. Only us Canadians know the fear.

the mountains and now this? im gonna be shaking so fast the vibrations of my body will slip through the in between atoms causing me to fall into the center of the earth

My favorite poppy playtime playthrougher uploads another banger!!!

I like the fact that he learns the game the hard way with max difficulty.

I love how spigg is constantly getting drifted into by a rv

American pedestrian simulator

Maybe frank was the friends that ran over us along the way.

1.4K in 4 minutes spiff makes everyone happy when a video drops

I already saw it from Backseat Streams but I‘m excited to see Spiff play it!

I didn't realize "spooky vehicle chases after you" was a game genre, but between this and Choo Choo Charles I'd absolutely be down for more games like these

i really love how the snow is moved aside from the cars

I knew it doesn't seem that scary to most people, it is a very specific kind of horror. When I was a kid, I didn't have normal nightmares, I had nightmares of my own family car bashing through the front door and running me over, multiple nights in a row.

Jerma would absolutely lose his mind playing this game

Oh my god this game actually makes me super tense. But also makes me giggle my damn socks off. Gotta stream this to the homies

The ice cream truck playing daisy bell is the funniest part of this video for me lmao

There needs to be more games like this. I used to turn on the Evil Cars cheat in Saints Row 2. Set up a fake scenario about getting an item and going across town to specific location. All while avoiding cars just ramming into things and myself. So much fun. P.S. Vehicular Combat also needs to make a proper return. Games like Vigilante 8 / Twisted Metal.

Alternate name: Scared Pedestrian Simulator

Would be so funny if the developer added twitch integration so chat would be able to steer the vehicles through a website. Then you'd get a real challenge and we could bully you

I wasn’t expecting a video right after the marathon vod

As a cs major I love that the ice cream truck was playing daisy bell, and if you didn’t know daisy bell was the first song ever sung by a computer

As always, was not expecting this. But as always, an absolute blast~ thanks spiff!

When I saw spiff comment on back stream games while he was playing this game I knew spiff would play it

15:37 i love how he immediately stops talking and stares at the van when he notices it

30:20 I‘m fairly sure that‘s hall of the mountain king.

we have reached peak gaming

You’ve been hit by; You’ve been struck by; Truck, YEAAAAAAAAAA.

The ice cream truck was playing Daisy Bell!

Leave it to Spiff to find an obscure game to entertain the masses

weakest part aint the story, its the respawn screen (i would probably give it like some sort of ragdoll sequence for the player or something like that instead of just an instant "YOU DIED")

Oh my god this is giving me extreme nostalgia since when I was younger I kept dreaming of a big van trying to run me over.

This game makes me want to take a nice morning drive in a red barchetta

i haven't laughed this hard in years. keep up the good work spigg

This game is just a car dealer’s coke dream

time for funny parts: 0:28 not the night shifts 1:11 allergic to snow yes 2:10 car extended warranty great 7:28 bye bye 17:00 not the school story 21:32 Vroom vroom 24:34 Up it goes 25:32 Do a flip! 35:22 bye floor, get shot at 39:19 choose truck or phone 40:31 oh damn, bye frank

30:18 😭 😭 spiiiiif thats in the hall of the mountian king not dance of the sugar plum fairy 😭 😭

YES speedrun this

Thanks for the image warning Spiff, you're a real one

breaking ankles? nah, breaking clutches

10:42 I love how when you were saying _Fury Road_ you almost said _Fury’s Rage_

Saw backseats video not long ago so was waiting for you to play it 😊

This game is heavily inspired by a horror movie called "Maximum Overdrive" which is a AWESOME movie about killer cars/truck and such. Its total slop and i love it, and i feel like the game perfectly captures that, its so good. Also to explain the damage a bit, if a car is moving *too slow* then it won't deal any damage when it touches you, when the character raises their arms up to their face thats sorta like the signal of "this is really close to doing damage, but something is stopping it" so like, obviously sliding along with the cars but also being behind physics objects that can stop a car.
