Cat in the Box - YOUTUBER Horror Game Where You Make GOOD bad Life Decisions To Become Famous [ 1 ] 

Name : Girl Personality : Girl Occupation : Girl Age : Girl

You know that the times have changed when the adventurous reporter gets replaced by a desperate youtuber

An ominous voice from the depths of the house: "Don't forget to hit the bell."

4:40 *_"I GO TO A PLACE THAT'S HAUNTED @ 3AM??? 👻 😱 👻DEEPEST LORE, UNDERTALE?"_* That should _absolutely_ be the title of the next part in this series.

Girl: Well guys before entering the house we got a message from our sponsor Raid:Shadow Legends...

anyone noticed there is a change to her picture when you opened up the menu? at 1st she had the face full of excitement, after the 1st encounter with the killer her face changed to sort of worried whether she will be able to get out alive. nice little touch there i say

21 years ago: Protagonist's mother: Honey, what should we name out children? Protagonist's mother's sterile husband: Look, at this point, I just cannot care any less.

"I go to a place that is haunted at 3am deepest lore undertale" sounds like a video that would parody dead weight youtubers

"Girl" or "Manly". There is no in-between.

Hello! Thanks for playing our game. Guess we forgot to translate some texts that appears around 16:35 , here's what they mean. Who was that person? I need to escape!! I will get caught if I just keep running. Let's find a room to hide in! This will be fixed in the following update. Sorry for confusing!

Making her an aspiring RU-vidr was a stroke of genius, beyond justifying the save mechanic. It makes everything that happens to her all the more real. She's not stupid; she needs money.

I've enjoyed so much that smirk on her face.

What the Cat in the Box thing doesn't tell you: The moment you open the box, it's 50% chance the cat is dead and 50% chance you're about to have a pissed off cat attached to your face.

I swear if there's an ending where she gets e-famous and gets tons of subscribers and views, I'm gonna lose it

Girl is fearing for her life. Manly: This is gonna get tons of views

4:21 She said the thing! She said the thing!

The protagonist is so cute.... I love her! She's different from standard horror RPGmaker protagonists, and horror protags in general. Her design is so charming. Greatest smug face of all time?

Girl: My first impression of this place is "it's a lot prettier on the inside". Nice Ao Oni reference. Is it cold in there too? XD

Girl with camera in hand: "I'm outside of a spooky mansion that was originally owned by a cultist, and we're breaking inside. My scooter is rumored to be cursed and is said that it kills the owner." "I'm walking down this long spooky set of stairs that lead to the basement, just like in a horror movie. It's chilly down here, and they say that chill signifies that we're entering into another time an space not our own." "I'm in the basement and reading through some scriptures by the cult. Man, I wish something will happen." Killer introduced himself, which sent the girl into a panic and ran into the room he came in, which trapped her. He opened the door and stabbed her. Killer: "...I didn't know what she expected."

Content: exists RU-vidrs: "i smell revenue not too far from my location"

this girl is pure smug, and i love it.

Jesus holy nugget, that MC is one of the best looking MC ever especially with that art style

Title: YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND IN CULT BUILDING!!! (2AM CHALLENGE) (GONE WRONG) 😱😱 Thumbnail: 😲👉🏚

Manly: What am I worried about? *Murderer appears 2 seconds after*

I like [Girl]'s character design. She's really cute.

I guess this is Manly's future now, when he eventually runs out of bad RPG maker horror games to play.

Watching this again, I realized, the MC never mentioned they had chocolate bars before the mystery person asked.

Y'all I think we can appreciate manly's corny jokes they make me laugh and it truly makes my day to see him play horror games he's so underrated we need him to get more subscribers like us join the manly cult today xD

The camera effect make it looks like we are being recorded. It's even more weird whenever you saved, the screen cut out every time. Also, when I don't see another person behind the door, I already suspect them about time travel thing already, lol. The closed space, stuck in very long time, it make me think of that. The another odd thing is they insist on 'I don't want you to see my face' by suggesting to slide chocolate through door. I'm not sure about logic. But, they don't want to show their face for something. Usually, Survivors have to stick together. But, we don't know what current situation is. Seeing face maybe triggering something else. It will be funny if this game only have multiple versions of her running around.

I share Manly's fondness for protag-chan's smug face. I expected no less from a man of your taste

12:26 This is my favorite line, it's just asking for Murphy's Law, also like the smug face edit

I like how it’s realistic. “I can’t frikkin carry this!”

This artstyle is so familiar, i really cant remember where I've seen something similar and it's making me go into "angry sad man mode".

I love the little bit of fluff text she makes whenever you go for a save. It adds a ton of detail for her character btw can anyone translate the korean stuff at around 16:34?

I can imagine you made horribly good life choices too Manly

Manly: Ok so this is a game called "Cat in the box" Let's play it Game: Character Name, please Manly: Ok so I'll choo- Game: G I R L Manly: ...Sure

It would be funny if the killer were a "previous her," like a loop. That's why we have so many camcorders lying around the house.

Huh, a lot of this actually does fit pretty well with how real cults operate. It seems the creator did their homework.

"Something always happens in places like this in horror movies or games, you know." *_ZOOMS IN ON HER SMUG FACE._* Glad to know Manly also thought the same thing as many of us.

Keiji has sleepy eyes, Girl has sleepy eyes, I think I got your preference and man I agree with you

Everytime she found a camcorder tape, that means she found a tape which belongs to her dead-self in another timeline?

16:26 the random text is in korean and it reads: "who is that person?" "I need to escape!" "if I escape right away, I'll get caught" "let's escape to a room to hide!"

i like the way she speaks to the camera every time you save. it’s nice that the main character actually has character even though her name is just “Girl”

I really like how the saving mechanic is "part of the world" like there's a reason it's there and it's limited.

A horror focused youtuber playing as a horror focused youtuber! Neet!

Somehow Manly getting excited when she starts spouting RU-vid references @4:21 is the most precious thing to me.

"It's empty. Like my soul." "It's filled with rusty syringes." Like MY soul.

I saw this on Steam and it caught my attention! Thank you for playing it! The mapping and atmosphere look really good! Suggestion: My Mouth is a Hole filled with Dirt (new short game by AestheticGamer) also on Steam

rewatching this again and ngl this is one of my favs, it's got tons of twists that are foreshadowed well and are executed greatly

It reminds me of witches house combined with crooked man lolol. It looks a pretty cool game!!!

The real answer to Schroedingers Cat is that its dead. Theres no holes in the box.

12:27 is why this is my favorite Manly video.

I love the RPG Maker Style games! There's just something about them that I love. So far I'm very interested

I come back to manly's playthrough of this from time to time. It's a really good RPGmaker horror game that I think should be in par with the classics like mad father and witch's house. There's other recent rpgmaker games that are also equally good but this made me not sleep with the lights turned off at night for about a week lol

12:32 that immediate zoom in and silence as we take in her words sent me for some reason

Her smug face is making me fall in love with her

Now that I've seen how the game ends - the way she asks for a specific item like chocolate bar is really subtle somehow xD

I get some triangle vibes from this, every person is the girl and that's why there are so many video tapes and everything loops.

Rewatching this series made me realize.. How did the other person know you had *chocolate* specifically? They didn't say 'food', but 'chocolate' to test what state of mind/status that other version of them was in. Smaaaart. Nice foreshadowing/clue.

Welp it's official; Manly's favorite type of anime gurl are the droopy eyed, sleepy-looking kind 😆. But everyone's got there own faves, so kudos!✌️

When you start meeting other people in the house, I'm gonna guess they're other versions of her... Just at different points in time. The murderer is the oldest, either gone mad by time in the house or she figured she had to kill her other selves to ensure she was the cat to survive the box.

me: for some reason i identify with this lazy, cynical girl who keeps doing dumb things me: ah, i'm probably just projecting 'cause she's blonde and laid-back girl: "if i make it out... i'm going to stuff my face and then hibernate..." me: then again,

In scanning the comments, it would seem that Girl is a hit with the viewers. Her smugness has made her a star! The decision to make her a RU-vidr was brilliant. It also allows for several options should the developers chose to expand on her adventures. For example, in an effort to increase her audience she could go on a quest to become a good cook. Alternatively, she could go on a quest to find interesting items to unbox. Perhaps she could try to become a let's player, focusing on indie horror titles. This Girl is going places! You go Girl!

Even now this rpg is still so superior in terms of story and Easter eggs

This game is pretty neat so far. I had a bit to comment on and a couple silly things too. Kinda long. ^^' @2:43 Quick time? That's slow time. @3:24 At first I was kinda confused to this set up. Usually games that have save points, they are set up at certain locations during the run of the game and whenever the player crosses them, they'd often save because it's limited and want to avoid redoing a hard or long section. When it's from the menu, even if there is a small number of slots, you can save over old ones as many times as you want whenever you want. From the sound of it, this is kind of a mix of both and I thought maybe the creator just had an idea about limited tapes for the camcorder and wanted to incorporate it into the gameplay. Thinking it over, it is kind of a interesting...I guess exercise? Not really social experiment or test but to see different let's players of mixed levels of experience with games in general and these types of games and how they'd utilize the saves. Like at what points would you consider it important to save? It would differ slightly from player depending on a lot of factors. While I don't think every game would need this set up and depending on how the rest of the game plays out in this regard I'm not sure if it's a good or bad call yet but this something I haven't seen before or even heard of and it's kind of fun to think about. @4:12 Wow getting a shoutout from Girl, what an honor, she's such a big name after all! @4:46 really want to see how she'd do her thumbnails. Super shock value. Also, would be interesting to see someone make a comic or short animatic or something of a scenario of her dying and the camcorder is found and edited together either as a "Girl's Lost Tape Found! Last Video EVER!" and it's sort of meant to be dedicated to the fanbase and the whole 'this was her last wish' or it'll be found by someone who makes a commentary about people doing dangerous or reckless things for something "superficial like viewers". @5:32 I mean... kind? Her comment is sorta more of a "I won't know unless I try" attitude, I think. Where you must try and even if you failed, you at least attempted versus if never tried so you'd never win. If she never went in, then she could not make the video therefore couldn't possibly succeed in popularity of this video if it never existed. On a meta level, definitely foreshadowing vibes, maybe the story will be open ended? Or there is a critical choice where the path it takes you down is unclear/ not expected. (Like if you have people with mixed views on if the cat is alive or dead, someone is gonna be wrong when the box is open.) @5:40 Small thing but want to bring it up. I like the idea of the main character being a youtuber/trying to become a big name. While I love games, especially these RPG horror types, sometimes the inner monologues can seem odd to me especially if it is to themselves. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m the type of person who will find metaphors or get out there ideas as well but sometimes in a game it can feel off to what I felt with the character or just when it is brought up in the story itself). With this scenario, she is talking to her viewers and to a degree is putting on an act to be more entertaining so her making certain comments or monologuing makes a lot of sense in this context. @9:46 Clearly, it’s for the aesthetic, Manly! Gotta sell the atmosphere and ambiance for more views! Or could be she is using an old camera; it is tapes and not a memory card after all. Maybe because that is all she had available, it was given by a family member/friend so sentimental value, or once again, aesthetic, it has the authenticity angle to it versus being a filter. @16:00 Well they still give the auto saves which again makes me wonder with the camcorder, especially when you already grabbed a couple extra tapes kind of off the bat. Maybe there is gonna be a period where not a lot are around? Or you could end up missing a lot of them. Least there was the auto save which yay on a gameplay point, doubt you’d want to get so far in and holding off on your tapes just to get killed and start from the beginning but that can effect how they would use the camcorder if they know there is the saves that appear before big chances of dying. Wonder if there is a speed run/ no save run where you get something bonus. @19:35 Weird, while not surprising that ‘someone else is trapped’ and the main character runs into them, their dialogue is kind of suspicious and stayed behind the door and we do not see them…. Were they the one that was chasing her or someone completely different? I mean, she runs away from the killer, seems to lose them and immediately after someone else finds her but not shown. @19: 50 that is a fair observation too. The dialogue did seem suspicious with how they said they were trapped to and locking the doors. Could be ghost and that may explain why they aren’t showing themselves because the physical appearance would give it away or they have been dead for a long time, may not know, and the person’s perception is altered so they think they’ve only been there a short while and the staying on other side of the door is just a precaution thing. OR it could be a weird thing where the house is existing at different points of time at once and that’s why the “exit” is now another room because she jumped to a point where there IS a room either in the past or future.

Oh, I am already loving this. I've been wanting some horror games to start using RU-vidrs and vloggers as their protagonists, give them an excuse to be investigating a haunted or dangerous place. Things are nice spooky so far, and I quite like our main character's portrait. I don't trust our unknown ally at all, but that's an issue for later.

came here to rewatch this awesome game and i just noticed that the "stranger" knew that the girl have SPECIFICALLY a chocolate bar on her. its pointing out that theres definitely something going on

I just now finished watching this video , I just came across this Chanel on my feed and after watching and hearing his voice I am 100% certain I am I love with his voice and will continue to watch more of these!

manly i dont know if youll see this but your output rate is fucking unbelievable for the quality of content you put out. i assume you have editors (thank u editors!) but you manage to make jokes and shit in like, all of the videos of yours that ive seen. even if a game itself is a little lackluster you always make shit watchable lmao. seriously though i appreciate what you do. i love how if i have an obscure horror game i want a video of, manly probably has me covered.

Girl: it’s empty Manly: ｌｉｋｅｍｙ *s o u l*

12:38 I got shit scared at that face zoom more than anything else :') btw love you always manly for bringing these titles, horror is an art

I love how the character is drawn. The facial expressions are cute

This seems to be the scariest rpg maker horror game I’ve seen on your channel in a while.

interesting thing about death at 23:08 (spoiler) The person hiding there is propably another version of her that went insane with the whole ''don't leave, i'm not going out there'' mindfuckery. She was propably holding the door shut so the player had to use more strength to open it. The hair looks kinda similar at least and so far every other person seen has a great possibility of being an alternate ''her''.

32:11 that sound manly made will now live in my head rent free

Watched Stygian first, as I was saving Cat In The Box for a time when I could binge it entirely.

Yay I like your humor and please keep the good workbecause RU-vid is like you try so hard and you doing excellent right now don't be put down by the haters bro

Awww... you should have named OP, WoManly

so she couldnt bring a blot cutter but she can just stick an old axe in her back pocket. bruh.

"My first impression of this place is... It's a lot prettier on the inside!" Ao Oni reference right there.

Love your videos dude! Love how you play a lot of horror games!!!

i want a giant stone mansion to live in just so i can explore it and feel creeped out everyday. I would live in one corner room and let the rest stay empty, maybe furnishing it with old crap for extra spooktacity. I will set up timed noise makers in distance rooms to go off months and years in the future, then forget about them, then creep myself out when they go off. All I need, is about 400 million dollars.

it's cool that she actually comments about the tapes before switching them out

"I can change it to Manly" ah yes such a perfect name for a girl

You know it's weird...with all the cheap direct-to-video-Netflicks-bargain-bin found footage horror movies there are I'm surprised I've never seen or heard of one based around the premise of a missing RU-vidr. Like, a RU-vidr goes missing shooting a "spooky vlog" at a "haunted" location and the only thing found is an unedited video chronicling their final moments. And I mean a legit MOVIE that you buy for money, not just a homemade video somebody uploaded to RU-vid.

Oh this is a good one, the scares are well paced, and work even when they're predictable. I like it! Also, I giggled when you were so panicked by the hooded pursuer that you ran pretty much all the way around the locker the first time but couldn't get IN it. I'm sorry Manly, visceral reactions are just amazing XD With being unable to see your face, this is a good way of telling the game got you good.

Oh, it's been so long since I've seen a good RPGMaker Horror game. Do more of these, please!

This was the first playthrough i watched of you. No regrets. Immediately subbed.

“ It’s empty like my soul” Me: Mood

I'm gonna say the "stranger" is the killer. Maybe a Dr. Jeckal/Mr. Hyde thing. Or he's just outright lying to you.

11:25 I think it wood be, yes.

0:00 - 0:10 Manly's voice is really soothing somehow, I love it

12:32 That face That goddamn face *MAKE MY INNER M SIDE AWOKEN*

Everytime i watch this stuff I legit can't take it out of my brain, like crimson grey and Purgatory

i love the style of this game! can't wait to see more

Manly, The Question Asked in the Beginning is about Schrödinger's Cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.

I Love this Horror game, it reminds of me people, i seen on youtube going to abandoned locations and recording these locations, this is just my favorite thing.

I love all the horror games u play bro❤

I was hoping you would put Manly Girl or Girlybadasshero. But overall, great gameplay. Loved your panic reactions.

artstyle is nice. Why is she still using a camcorder with a tape when she wants to upload on the internet lol
