A Horror Game Where Your Body Gets Stuck In A Tight Cave - It Lives Under The House 

Welcome to the Bark For Me Club, how Bark For Me are ya? ( previous game in the series here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3C6DIivRfuY.html )

Always appreciate a horror game that lets you just leave lmao

To be honest, if I ever went to investigate inside a suspicious building, ending 4 is my real reaction. No questions ask, just yeet myself outta there.

"Bark for me, Nick" now hold on a second I dont think this is the playthrough I signed up for

I'm not claustrophobic but this DLC does a wonderful job selling that nightmare. Forget the monster, just getting stuck underground like that is its own doom. At least there's the smart move to just say nah and go home.

want to know what this guy plan was, goes in alone in a house full of corpses and decides to go to the basement alone, finds a creepy cave and decides to go in without backup, notices the cave getting narrower and still decides to go in, reaches a point when its almost imposible to advance and still takes the chance, if it wasnt after watching the internet historian video on the cave then any kind of immersion would be nothing.

I know getting stuck in a hole is bad and a nightmare, but consider: but what if it was MY hole? What if it was made for ME?

This seems like a great video to watch right after finishing The Internet Historians video on caves.

I think we can all relate to the “fuck this” ending lol.

protag: -climbs into a hole- also protag: ‘omg im stuck in the hole’

20:45 I was only listening to the game and when many manly said “bark for me” I legit thought he was joking until her kept reading 💀💀

Manly may not have emotion in his voice a lot of the time due to his empty soul but ngl he pulls of the "OH SHIT I'M GONNA DIE" voice really well when he does it :0

It's rare I find a game that gives me actual feelings of dread about something. I'm not claustrophobic, but being stuck like that is definitely one of my fears.

Spoiler: Hallucinating escaping and waking up back to reality is terrifying, well done devs.

I think everyone that has ever done more 'intense" caving in their lives remembers their first. "I'm stuck" moment. That panic slowly crawling to the top. The "I can't breathe" feeling. The want to just stretch out. It can quickly become an all consuming panic. Imo, learning to stifle that fear is one of the hardest hurdles to over come when getting into caving. . Learning to calm down and understand you're not really stuck 99% of the time. You just gotta calm down and slowly work your body thru is an incredibly hard mental thing to over come.

Getting stuck in tight places is such a fear. It's not even claustrophobia, it's getting stuck with no way out, maybe even staying there till you perish. I've listened to so many horror stories on RU-vid of people getting stuck, I'll just sit in my house enjoying manly. Can't get stuck if I don't go out. *Tapping forehead*

As someone who has claustrophobia, this is horrifying. It's like a primal fear that just turns you... feral. It's portrayed very effectively in this game. Great game.

15:20 notice how the green bar never fills completely

17:29 This part really sold the game for me. That and Manly's voice acting really sold the terror in his voice.

didn't expect the petplay scene

13:43 there was a cave explorer who got stuck in a tunnel system. Only his feet sticking out. He thought he was crawling through the tunnel called "the birth canal" but he was actually stuck in uncharted territory. His family contacted the fire department because he was upsidedown and only had a few hours. He didn't make it. The blood was rushing to his head and so the authorities closed off that tunnel so no one would ever try that again. He had a wife and baby at the time. Edit: His name is John Jones. Also stop being d*cks about him. I understand he might've been privileged and an idiot for risking his life especially having a family but like.. dude is dead and died the worst way man.

_"Because you're dumb"_ Exactly - that's exactly what I was thinking as the character wanted to crawl through and talked about their prior experience in the hospital's basement. I think the tunnels trap different people 'exploring' and being trapped like that brainwashes them, drives them to believe they are inhuman and need to kill to survive. Very cool dlc for the game. It expands the lore in a horribly wonderful horror way. The tunnel sequence makes you not want to be a spelunker for sure.

funny how manly saw the word "leave" and he immediately says "OH YEAH"

I think the biggest twist in this game was the spirit telling us to bark

As a person who suffers from chronic sleep paralysis, I knew he was still stuck. I have had so many episodes of getting up, screaming, and running out of bed, just to blink and realize I never moved.

that tunnel sequence at the end where Nick got stuck in the tunnel was GOLD. oh my goodness where do I start? first off, the cockiness you feel since you had gotten out before, it should work this time, that's how the game fools you and that is actually how a lot of cavers get stuck and die, they try to fit into areas they can never get out of. Then the silence for a few moments before the dialogue... this is what panic is. horror media portrays panic as this- sudden gripping horror but panic is actually your mind and body settling into the realization... that it is stuck. in this case in a cave. it takes a while to settle because... we got out before, we should be able to do it again. and as you struggle and angle your body in any way you can, once you've tried everything, panic starts to settle. at first you're not completely sure, your mind is buzzing in shock "help?" you look around the cave... perhaps you feel comfortable for even a moment despite the pain of your leg being trapped "help..." then fear finally manifests, mixing with the confusion and shock, only now do you start to panic, in the total realization you're stuck and there's no leaving this place "help!" the person who made this game knows exactly how fear, panic, excitement, dread and more manifests. as well as how exactly relief and desperation works. Nick was a pretty big shot acting guy at the beginning but even the largest of personalities crumble under reality. when the person showed up in the tunnels... you could feel the rush nick felt. relief mixed with adrenaline and excitement... it makes even the strongest of personalities submit like a dog. it's a drug that makes your head buzz and the developer knew what that feeling was. I think that's why this game works so well as a horror game. because instead of developing horror it develops terror. but a very specific kind of terror. a terror developed from a horrible comfort of the tunnel of which turned into a hatred, because you learn you can no longer be afraid of it. and a terror developed from the excitement of finally getting help... and you as the player watching the character of the game lose himself fully when help finally arrived. Nick can no longer realize he's lost himself and that's why it's a horror game, because if any of us were in that situation... we would also lose our minds. This is a horror game not about the claustrophobia of the caves, the monster within, nor is it about the spirits or the fear of getting crushed.... the true horror of this game is losing the ability to think. because if you can't think.... you can't actually fear.... anyway these are my passionate yet incoherent rambles of this game. it's a genuinely good game though lol I just had to get my ideas down somewhere and share them just because of how exciting it is to see a horror game that actually perfectly plays on the dynamic of panic. hope everyone is having a good day lol.

Literally the first ending: *Fuck this shit I'm out* 🛵🏃‍♂️💨💨

"because you drink dumb juice. Drinking too much of it" 😂 a very apt description for people who go into these scary dangerous places in horror games

I'm glad we're seeing some more additions to this weird and haunting little reverse horror game.

I like to imagine that in the tunnel manly is just sitting beside this guy openly and actively criticizing him without offering to help at all lol like a shoulder devil

everyones talking about how claustrophobic it is, but why is no one talking about the ending where the alien person tells the narrator to BARK AND THEYD GET RELEASED?? where do i get this game

This is one of the most NOPE scenarios i have ever seen. Abandoned house in the woods ✓ Blood and human remains decorate the house and flooring ✓ Mysterious cave in the basement ✓ You have to crawl to continue ✓ The cave is narrowing... ✓

As someone with claustrophobia, this seems like the perfect game for me 😻

This hole was made for me! This inspired me to go back and read about the Nutty Putty cave disaster. If you're not familiar, its where some dude on Thanksgiving day crawled into one of these holes for fun, got lost, and then stuck. A rescue team tried to pull him out but he was in a corkscrew of rock 18 inches in diameter where they only had access to his feet (and someone had to shimmy down like a worm to even get to that.) They tied rope to him and used a system of pulleys to try to get enough leverage but couldn't overcome the friction. His body swelled from being upside down and he passed away from the blood collecting in his head. Your circulatory system doesn't pump blood that way. Surprisingly, you only have about 12 hours of upside down time before you die. They sealed the cave off and made it his grave. Interestingly, the cave had been sealed twice before because of people getting stuck in it. They had just reopened 6 months prior before the most recent disaster happened. I call it a disaster but stop and think for a moment about the hubris required to think that you should go do this for fun in a cave that's literally been shut down until recently for this very problem. He was not a dumb man. He was a medical student with a wife who was pregnant with his second child. His extended family went with him that day. They all thought it would be fine. They were also very Mormon and at one point he even chided his rescuer from falling away from the LDS church. While stuck in a hole. Upside down. Yep. Hubris.

17:40 honestly really loved this part. Like it reminds me of that one movie where a group of women go underground to explore an unnamed cave, get stuck and get hunted by cave monsters one by one. Especially the ending part. (Forgot the name of it) Edit: the movies name is The Descent

Always here to watch some real good Manly gameplay. It's... Kinda relaxing.

I love how he just like never gets scared and i always love how he mainly only plays VHS type or really old school looking games i love his content

18:36 Protagonist: "F*ck heroes!" ManlyBadassHero: "And I took that personally"

Always good when a horror game has the 'Common Sense' option. Namely where you see bad shit, and just go "Nope!" and leave. Still, beyond that, I get the feeling horror movie and game protagonists have a remarkable lack of self preservation sometimes. Find a horror house filled with dismember bodies? Keep going. Find a creepy cave? Yep, keep going. Stupidly tight squeeze where there's a risk to get stuck? Ha ha.. keep going

18:30 Protag: F**k heroes! Manly: *Hey!* XD

Uh oh, the “bark for me” thing was the spirits the original monster said would torment him… But I wonder where the original one went.

When the so called "bystander" kept calling MC it, saying does IT want to get out of here... Totally reminded me of that scene in the Silence Of The Lambs... "IT puts the lotion on the skin or IT gets the hose again..." Deff creeped me out

"Step-thing-that-lives-under-my-house, help me, I'm stuck!"-the protagonist probably

jesus the 'i wanna bend my knee' hit a little to close to home... be it a broken limb or just- being close to death they captured that REAL well... jear desus

14:55 didn't expect that self realization on a horror game, like it's the first time I see this It's so simple yet almost never implemented to any horror games

I thought there would be a third ending where they refused to bark and instead kept pushing forward until their smashed leg ripped apart and they succed in leaving, with 1 leg left. Maybe blinking the screen red every time you pressed space in the process.

Man, I love his content. Hearing him read dialogue is always a treat, he commits so hard to great line delivery

I remembered that creepy pasta, it's named "Ted the Caver" incase other people are curious.

always fun when Manly breaks his phenomenally well done voice acting for meta commentary, Good Job Manly

“Bark for me! Whine like a wounded animal!” It’s giving, humiliation kin- Anyways, great video. Getting stuck and claustrophobic are very well presented in this.

I think this is the only true fear I have. I’ll jump off a bridge with a parachute or side of a mountain into a waterfall any day. But getting stuck crawling in a cave. Just gives me shudders thinking about

So glad there is more to this world. I really enjoyed the original. Such great perspective shifts. I feel the entity that "helps" you in the end might be a child of the original main character/monster.

It's perfect. The creator of the game that scared me also making a side-story that emphasized on my fear of being stuck in a cave. I might have to add extra lock to my doors and windows after this.

Cave seems to be a great material for horror games ..!! Manly's narration is always the truth..!! I enjoyed the video..! Thanks..!

that fakeout was. probably the scariest part of this game.

Manly’s sass gives me great joy. His critique of “WHY,” right as I was wondering no less, makes these games so much more enjoyable.

I think the one who turns you into a monster is "The Ghost" from first game- the thing at the exit to the cave that barates you for not going out as much.

I love how we actually never got to see the monster (which is not the original one, no, the original one came from a woman so it's some sort of parasite. When he has his children they're like larvas) the "thing" we see is the ghost from the first story or whatever it is. I was preparing for a jumpscare or something, but no: there's nothing there, besides the ghost. Only rocks.

I'm glad your channel exists so I don't have to torture myself playing a game like this lmao

Manly , you may not have a soul but you’ve got a big heart. Out of respect for you, we love ya man! Thanks for the content and the future content too.

"It's called 'dumb juice'. You've been drinkin' too much of it." - ManlyBadassHero, 2022

17:36 I think I've seen this in a movie before, where the protagonist dreamed that they escaped getting stuck, and returned to their family. Only to wake up and realize they were still stuck.

the DLC feels atleast twice as better in every aspect from the main game with horror to the max i wouldve shat my pants if i played this DLC and also the cutscene at chapter 5 was so welcome with the change in art style and actual amazing work, respect

Ah, Dumb Juice: The favorite drink of countless horror story protagonists

I really enjoyed both games in this series! Makes me feel kinda bad for the protag in the last game, finding out that it was probably a human at one point who got lost down there. I wonder if the body of the human woman who the monster said it came out of was actually its former human body? Or it could be the product of the monster before it having "children" the same way it did with Marie, larva growing inside the corpse. Side note, but the part where you have to crawl through the caves like a worm is giving me flashbacks to this one interactive fiction game I played years ago. It's about a guy who woke up with insomnia in the middle of the night and then slowly went through this lovecraftian transformation and turned into a worm creature. He ends up trapped on a spaceship with these other alien grubs and throughout the whole thing he's been starving so he attacks and eats them. Then it cuts back to reality. Turns out he was hallucinating and it's actually a naked human man writhing around on the floor like a worm, and the "grubs" he ate were his two young children... Something about the description of him covered in blood and slithering around has always stuck with me, it's so disturbing and sad.

i would never expect an demon ask me to bark as a payment for an pact.

I like the random nod to "They Live", re: Nada. Missing a 7-minute dumpster brawl with Keith David, though. Now, I guess "They Live Under the House"

Getting stuck in a tight cave is one of my worst nightmares! {{ (>_

This game reminds me of Junji Ito's "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" and the creepy-pasta story "Ted the Caver". The game does a great job of giving the player a sense of Claustauphobia and the "urge to keep going" even if the situation is dire, but avoidable. When the protagonist mentioned the cave was getting narrower, but couldn't go back, it reminded me of "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" characters. If I also recall, "The Horror Of Salazar House" did the same thing for one of its endings with its protagonist. Yeesh... games that make great uses of phobias and environments make me shudder. However, Manly always does a spectacular job of keeping things calm with his deep, soothing voice :).

I feel like in the end we had become something like a wendigo. Our character was driven by an insatiable hunger for bigger thrills, and when he made the deal to escape it became a hunger for human flesh.

Thank you Manly for so many videos. I really appreciate all the work you do. Brings a smile to my face when I see a new video come out.

I found your channel by a random suggestion and I have been binge watching your videos for the past week. Love seeing all these random scary games. And your commentary is inviting.

Who wants to go into a cave when you can go into your closet! It's just as dark, cramped, and best of all, YOU CAN'T GET STUCK.

I'd NEVER crawl inside a tunnel like that ever, it's a pure nightmare for me

dear god, those tunnels are a claustrophobic nightmare, and i have a mild phobia of tight spaces so i could only imagine someone w/ a full-blown, intense phobia

This is so good at explaining claustrophobia, not we just need one for being numb in the leg

Even tho it's Horror, Manlys videos always are so calm and relaxed

I love that Manly consistently uploaded right in the middle of my lunch so I can watch his videos before I have to go back to work

I've never been so uncomfortable and stressed out by a game before, this is definitely a hidden masterpiece.

20:49 "I thought you were stuck not deaf" spicy demon

"its called dumb juice." Truer words have never been spoken

I don't understand people who willingly crawl through caves like that

20:42 Makima is that you? Could have just option 4'd out of this but here you are.

The creepypasta he keeps referencing throughout the video is Ted the Caver, arguably the first creepypasta ever made.

The emotion and panic in the voice you do is absolutely amazing!

Love to binge Manly's videos around bedtime. I'm absolutely Manly-Maxing my sleeping schedule. 😴

The first thing I thought of when I saw the style of the green background at the title screen (first image in this video,) was that _I Live Under Your House_ game. I guess they've got their distinctive look dialed right in! Brand recognition, baby! I just really like this developer's art style anyway.

Moral of the story: If u are ever in a scary situation, just leave.

Eyy perfect video to wind down for sleep! Thanks for posting so often Manly, your content never misses!

I can barely watch these type of body horror games you play. Its insane how you manage to play them calmly, thank you, manly.

Thank you manly for all you do!

As someone who likes to binge cave death videos, this game terrifies me. Actually, the concept of crawling into small hole terrifies me and im not even claustrophobic.

It's all fun and games till someone drinks the dumb juice! Seriously though, the way this character is written, it makes one wonder about real people like this, who love to live "on the edge." When they finally get to a point where they know they've gone too far or are about to die -- such as those who fall off tall buildings while doing parcour -- do they have the same breakdown and acknowledgement that they screwed up? There are always thrill-chasers and, likewise, no shortage of videos online showing their injuries and even demise. Just how many had similar thoughts to this character, when his leg was stuck?

Player at the end of the game: This is my hole, it was made for me! DRR DRR DRR~

Ted the Caver is a certified internet classic and there's even a movie

Another game made by a legend

Okay the sequence with the crawling really got me. Good work

the bark for me was so.... like damn??? barking???

Loved the first game, loved the second game, and am now really hoping I get to love a third game (at least!). I hope next game is called "They live under your house"

One of my favourite RU-vidrs just covered these caves a few days ago, so topical!
