@@howardmurphy8019 Yeah, IV fluids and an NSAID. I've had experiences just as weird on brain-baking fevers. Like, caught myself mid-burbling-delusion and tried to figure out where all the crazy thoughts were coming from.
I understand the plot like this: You're an eldritch abomination in the guise of a human. A cute girl approaches you at a party and you nervously respond in your native ancient tongue that she can't handle so she throws up and is knocked out. Ashamed you start losing your grasp on your powers and start warping reality. After you're over it you seal reality back together.
Makes sooo much sense lol It feels like The Protagonist is just too overpowered And doesn't know how to control His Powers So all he does is awkardly Beat up some Plant-pleople until he gets a hold Of himself
I love the accurate depiction of being completely overwhelmed when someone attractive talks to you and having to stare at your feet to come up with some gibberish tryint to answer
@@Noname-ud4he Smells like DARE propaganda to me. The more you learn about drugs, the more you learn that most of what you assume/have been taught about them is incorrect. Opioids and Meth are the two you really have to watch out for, everything else is pretty harmless. DARE told me that LSD and Mushrooms can kill you and are addictive. The US Drug Enforcement Agency disagrees entirely and says that the way their tolerance works makes it impossible to become physically addicted and there is no known overdose range. LSD, Mushrooms and MDMA (pure "ecstasy") are being used in conjunction with guided psychotherapy in clinical trials which are very successful at the moment. LSD and Mushrooms show 87% effectiveness at treating depression and anxiety for up to 9 months after one single session. MDMA is showing an 83% effectiveness in CURING (not treating) PTSD outright when used with guided psychotherapy in as little as 6 sessions. DARE also said that Marijuana is dangerous, and now all four are medicine. Medical science isn't even clear on if MDMA is harmful in the first place because the only study done on it was rescinded because instead of using MDMA, they mislabeled Methamphetamine and tested that by accident. The only results we got from the only study done on MDMA is that Meth is dangerous (big shocker there). Obviously this is not counting mental addiction, which makes it possible to get addicted to literally anything that triggers a dopamine response. Like your phone/computer or gambling. If you scroll on Tik Tok or other endless scrolling sites like Twitter, RU-vid, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, ect. then you likely are already mentally addicted. The reason Opioids and Amphetamines are so addictive is that they trigger a massive chemically induced Dopamine rush, which your phone/computer apps emulate on a small scale every single time you scroll to a new post. This results in a massive Dopamine loop where you scroll to get happy feeling, each scroll makes you less happy so you scroll more to make up for it, until eventually it stops releasing Dopamine at all and you don't know why you're scrolling but you keep doing it, like an addict. Everybody I've ever met that's super concerned with drug use are usually addicted to Caffeine, which is more addictive than Nicotine, has a fairly low overdose death range and is still legal. Or Nicotine, which isn't known to be harmful on it's own in the form of vapes (it's the additives in actual cigarettes that cause Cancer, not the Nicotine) and is being outlawed and vilified. Or are on their phones/social media constantly and refuse to admit it's even possible to be addicted to that. Or gambling, which is the prime example in the concept that 'literally everything is addictive'. And then these people usually brag about it like it's somehow a lesser addiction. Everything in life needs moderation, and drugs aren't inherently evil, despite what you may have been taught.
Barbotine: A type of clay paste used in making decorated pottery. I don't know what that might mean in terms of this game, but since the enemies make a shattering sound and break like pottery, there may be a connection.
This is a short game inspired by Silent Hill. I'd say there's some Kafka Metamorphosis stuff going on too. I really love the vibe and how it's not just you that transforms each day, but the house too.
The actual horror element of these games is neither the visuals nor the monsters, it's the absolute inactivity and unresponsiveness of the protagonist toward the absolute madness happening to them.
The slow start is nice...but the boppin tunes and combat actually were incredibly sick. I kinda want an entire melee combat game against flower faced statue people. Hotline Barbotine! I almost wonder if it was meant to be psychological, the person has an awkward social confrontation, which gets capped off when he gets vomited on and feels like utter garbage, and just spends the next few weeks metaphorically digging inward. The flower people represent a kind of malaise and depression that keeps him from moving forward, only when he turns that digging into something productive (in this case, giving them the smack down!) is he able to move forward. The hospital imagery at the end suggests either some self care or actual hospital stay, eitherway it's after this day that things get better. By the end of the story, they're back to good and feeling like they can go out again. Though the clothes they're wearing are the same ones they wore at the party, so it could be literally or metaphorically a loop? The name is confusing, as the name sounds like a drug but is actually a term for ceramics, either the makeup or how it's decorated. I guess you could say he was moulding himself?
I was just about to make the joke of what if this was all a hallucination brought on by whatever drug or psychedelic in the girl's vomit, thus bringing abiut this series of events until it was all a dream. Glad to know I didn’t have to, good game!
i feel like thats worse. if the vomit had some sort of hallucinogenic and it still gets absorbed (either thru skin contact or worse consuming the vomit accidently) sounds horrendous but a horrifying thought thanks!!
-I'm telling ya, one nigth i was throwing a party at home, a girl puke on me and i turned in to an eldritch horror! crazy night dude. -I think that was one of my daughters... sry.... -Nah you're cool Cthulhu, shit happens... fun night tho....
there was a house party in the house I was living in in college, I locked myself in my room and studied, didn't go out of it a single time, not even to the bathroom lmao. annoying people kept turning my locked door knob trying to get in
That was a interesting game. I wonder if the hole, the urge to dig said hole, the flower-faced creatures, the character's transformation and the house's transformation are supposed to mean something. And at the end of it, the character and everything is back to normal. Does that mean it was all a dream that he went through?
I love how your gameplays always look like you played the game before recording, but still, you don't rush through it. You make sure to check and enjoy the small things for the viewers seeing it for the first time. Thanks for sharing!
Considering that seemingly everything from day 3 onwards was a dream, I'm going to assume that the MC got a nightmare after playing Silent Hill on his ps1 while still having a hangover. That aside, this game has some pretty good tunes.
i feel like the POV of someone becoming a "monster" is severely underutilized in horror games. its usually a failstate, like a game over sequence or bad end. interesting to see it used here, even if just a bit.
It has a nice aesthetic. But it really needs a narrative of some sort to try to explain what is happening. The ending is also very abrupt and doesn't feel like a conclusion that follows prior events, lest it's just "guy reads Metamorphosis and has a nightmare". It screams "game jam entry" due to its brevity and sudden action game shift. It's not bad at all, I just think it needs more time in the oven to make a memorable short story piece.
IMO It looks like a dream the way it is, dreams don't usually follow a narrative or anything, I think it's interesting for that and makes you think about it long after due to the lack of explanation and ending. I don't think all games have to have a narrative.
I think it's more about social anxiety especially in parties, you can see in the beginning that the main character didn't know how to say to the girl and as the game progresses he's getting more infectious. I think the ending fits well about having to move on and don't have to isolate yourself in the room and ignore your friends negative opinions. Also you can see the contrast between the grown one and the main character, maybe it's a resemblance that he thinks that he's ugly than them also we can see on of them saying "you know you can't do that until you look at yourself" Indicating that he can't even pull girls because of his appearance. That's my opinion
Also another note, i think the girl vomit incident is the moment when the main character thought that she vomited because of his ugliness. So ugly that she vomits, but that's not it. She's just being so highly intoxicated that she vomited, yeah that's it
Ah I missed this channel so much. I've been busy lately, but u still keep posting things wish I could watch all of ur vids they're really fantastic, and well played thanks for this video. May God bless u brother
It's like Cells at Work! Anime but horror game 😂. I think he is sick and trying to take some medicine. The house turn into something like hospital room(?) After a week. He got better
6:28 wow, the neighbours complaining about the noise from the party are getting really passive-aggressive. They broke into your house to stare at you disapprovingly.
I don’t know why but this game reminds me alot of Static End that was on your channel from a few years back, it might be the setting that’s reminding me of it.
Gal was like: if you stare at the Void long enough, the Void will gaze back at you. Or so you think. It's actually staring at someone behind you. No way it could be into you.
Maybe the girl who threw up in the protag's face was that one girl who ate 700 or so Datura seeds? If he got some onto his skin or worse, into his mouth.... I've heard of much, MUCH weirder stories that real people went through than the entirety of this game (from their perspectiveof course).
well that was absolutely insane. 😂 but love the music and artstyle. [spoilers] . . and thank god the guy got his hands back in the end. imagine the horror of never being able to play that ps1 again because of tentacle hands
