Delivery Gone Wrong | NIGHT GROVE | Indie Horror Game 

From what I gathered of the story: "Father" lures people to his home where he performs experiments on them. You're the most recent test subject. He picks people based on their curiosity, which is why you were able to safely leave before venturing deeper into the house. The reason they kept knocking you out and dragging you to various rooms was because they wanted you to keep exploring to see if you had the fortitude to make it to the end or would give up. By reaching the end, you were deemed a worthy test subject and finally contained. The notes suggest that those test subjects who are "converted" (for lack of a better term) become one of the children. It's not certain if "adding your knowledge" means the children are part of a hivemind or if the test subjects are singled out for unique skillsets that Father intends to use to build some form of army. It's also possible he's using various skillsets in an effort to create a single ultimate creature, although there wasn't much evidence to suggest this. Not a terrible indie horror, but I do feel a little more context was needed. It wasn't very clear if "Security Guard Bob" was knowingly helping to initiate the experiment by leading you to the goal or if he was one of the children who thought he was actually helping you to escape while, in reality, he was just a pawn to get you to seek out the goal of the test. I feel as though a bit more of an ending scene with Father telling you your fate or a few other plot clues would've made this a lot better. The constant knocking out was a bit annoying, but perhaps would have been a bit less so if some clearer explanation was given in-game for why you were never restrained.

The absolute best thing about this game was the fact that you could get a good ending by simply dropping off the pizza and leaving. I always enjoy seeing that, and appreciate when games either give you that option or give a legitimately good reason why you can't (The Mortuary Assistant). Otherwise, this was basically "We Have Evil Resident 7 At Home". An OK setup that just went downhill the further you get into it.

1:53 CJU Speed running champ!

Some of these houses in the games CJU plays, like the one in this game, I want to see the blueprint of just because of how large and never ending they are.

I think the first ending and the monster designs (I thought they were genuinely scary) saved this from "Terrible" territory. The story has potential but the game mechanics really hold it back as a whole.

That silence followed by that 'huh..' is exactly how we also felt. I always wonder what goes through indie horror devs' heads when writing a coherent, cohesive story for their horror game. There's so many cool ways to do a 'delivery gone wrong'.

the first floor jupscare stopped my heart while the one on second floor kickstarted my heart

Lets be real here, if the game didn't allow you to leave it be easy for Chris to mark this as Terrible Indie Horror game.

39:26 😂 oh cj, the horrors you put up with for us to have a laugh lmao

Running away going "NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE" was perfect!

I watched someone else play this yesterday. Nothing like watching you play, I lost interest. You make any game much more entertaining with your humor and your game play overall. Me and my husband look forward to watching you every night! 😊

"🎵🎵Working on a Night-....Grove 🎶🎶🎶" 😊.

Your an amazing RU-vidr CJU love your videos keep up the amazing an awesome videos

Yayy! Thanks for the upload! Now I want pizza, minus the strange location

That part with the dude with the fire torch getting stuck thru the doorway running towards you,Had me cracking up 😂 LOL, Let's go CJU!!!

Very entertaining. Thank you for playing, CJU!

Remastered Granny looks great. But seriously, I'd agree that the game has good elements but needs polish. And really shows how easily we could solve our transportation issues with concussion-based fast travel.

When you want a pizza so bad, you're willing to get someone trapped and possibly killed.

I love this realistic "get the heck out" decision in a games best friend!

"or I can go this way." 24:55 hilarious 👍🏼🤣😆

I liked it. The graphics, the sounds, the monsters, the story, the atmosphere, the concept. There are some inaccuracies but yours (this time) were more. 😜

Wow I get to watch just before I head to bed

This felt like someone saw one of these "survive the house as you gather keys and clues" games and thought "I can do that" and really only put effort into the visuals

Hi CJU.. All the game you play are the best and it's so funny when you got jumpscares😂 I hope you play more games that makes you jumpscare😂👍

That wasn't really your best day, not only you get caught so many times but the protagonist claims he's more observant than you are. Buf for the truth, it had to be some bloody good pizza that one could really kill for.

Your face at the end said it all 😂

Me: *watching, phone alarm goes off, stops it* CJU: "That didn't sound good... I don't think that was me." Me: >.< I'm sorry

11:01 lol what doesn’t make sense about is getting jumped in the same room we got jumped earlier and the same room we saw him in on the cameras 😂 pretty consistent really

Always nice when the game lets your character leave cause lets be honest there are many times when you scream at the dumb decisions that people make in horror movies it is nice that the game lets you get the heck out of dodge

Do delivery drivers actually go into peoples houses? I've seen it in games and movies but never in real life 🤔

Your face expression at the end of the game was soooo worth it... 😀

You know, I can kind of see what this game was going for, and I think it could have been a bit interesting. Certainly more than a few of the jumpscares *worked*, lmao, we can't say they didn't... but I think the game relied a little too heavily on them and, as you said, it's both too harsh in gameplay sometimes while also not really having any consequences. I think if the dev polishes up their skills a bit more, this could work out to something.

Same house again and again 😂

But what if I don't want to visit a 'very strange location?'

Honestly… I liked it, I mean, I like the idea of a horror game that doesn’t penalize you effectively😂 but you still have all the “characters“ lurking around ready to fuck you up😂✌️

“Strange location….” Ends up in CJU’s channel 😂

lol that key was no where near the body

Lmao it's funny every time you pretend to end the video at the leave ending no matter how many times 😂 also you just saying "right" when that kid was stuck in the door and you closed it and he just phased through 😂😂😂 and then the best face of confusion at the end looking to us like we know wtf is going on ahahaha hilarious video. You're the best.

i heard this joke that was pretty funny. then i heard it dozens more times and i thought it was just as funny. that is what being able to leave in a game at the start is..

Hi Chris. Just here to say I love your videos. I've been a fan for several years now and I watch ALL your videos (except for if it's a game I really want to play first).

Hi cju... Thank you for playing 😊

Top horror content as always. Keep it up CJ!

His face at the end after Experiment 29 popped up 🤣🤣🤣

Certainly seems like a delivery gone wrong.

2:00 that was the best ending u have had in a game like this wow lol

I think maybe u have to be caught to "wake up" in different places, so even tho u normally never get caught so many times, i think it IS necesary in this game

Had to use the boards to board up the door to secure yourself.

Even if this pizza delivery guy managed to escape, he's been so repeatedly knocked unconscious he'd probably die of a brain hemorrhage within a few days

What gets me is that Chris never put two and two together, the Security guard who left the note his name was Bob and "The Father's" Name was Bob as well, that means to me, that they were the same person

“The story, if there is one, is kinda crap” 😂😂😂

Thank you Chris. Always look forward to ending my day with a vid from you. 👍👍👍👍

"The Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me."

Always love you, but I agree with your assessment completely.💜

Wasnt a great game but watching you is always a pleasure!!! Thank you cj!!

❤❤ yay it's a good day you uploaded 😊

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Way too much fun! It's gotten to the point where I'm checking around every corner in my own home! Screeeeam, thwack! 🤣🤣 I know this won't end well, but in the meantime... And I can't believe I jump *every. damn. time*.

Damn those very effective jump scares!! 😂 I thought the games looked ok, then again i dont play horror games. A bit to much trail and error indeed, but thankfully you dont lose any progress.. The ending? what?

46:45 your face has me laaaaughing lmao that was a proper cracked out game

Pineapple is good on a pizza but only with ham. Im ready🤜🏻

Tip to the protagonist: If, when ordering pizza, a customer says, "don't knock, just come on in," tell them to *sod off!* Weird, disjointed, nonsensical game. So, let's just update that title to "Terrible Indie Horror Game," shall we? 😆

14:14 Damn and I just joked to myself "gets caught again". Lol 12:28

I have a feeling that there might be an ending where u just escape. Either by not bothering with the experiment 28 body or maybe getting hit and caught beyond a certain number of times changes your ending. I also noticed that when you go to the attic the tinge of the lighting changes and when you come down the doors are gone. It might be that one of the kids has an ability to make you hallucinate and then she gets you after that. Seems like there's more to explore in this to get more of the story, if there is one.

I played this recently, some of the sound effects were either startling or confusing 😂 I thought the game was alright though, not too bad. I also wasn't sure if it was supposed to be kinda survival horror or stealth, as some parts there was nowhere to hide or get away properly as these entities just randomly appeared 😂

Cjugames has met his match with this developer.

The dieing in thsi game reminds me of Amnesia A Machine for Pigs. There is literally no consequence of dieing.

lol... what the hell did we just watch lol ;p ... i loved every second of it tho... i love any game you play CJU!

Have to admit, some of those jump scares really got me

I think for me what I did not like was the basement, ending, and invntory not vanishing to pick items back up when you wake up. "Half terrible indie horror game"

3:31 my reaction to anyone bringing me a Hawaiian pizza

Getting clobbered over the head as means to fast travel sounds to me like speedrun tech.

The best part of this game was your commentary. You're hilarious 😂

On time as usual, Can you play a work-horror game? Just to re-live the reality 😂

Thanks for sharing, you're the best!

That....was a game...

I hope for this game's sake that it is more fun to play than it is to watch.

thank you for another great video I love your videos CJU🥰

Love it bro👍👍👍👍👍

I agree Had a good Primus at first But then .... The game seems broken and they lost sight to what it was supposed to be

Interesting game, you got caught a lot, at least they don't take you stuff or make you start from scratch

Great jumpscares! I screamed 😅

26:43 in the bathroom there is a number om the window u missed

Much love CJU

Reminds me of one of those mobile games creators like ripping.

My sleeping asmr ~

this was a slightly terrible indie horror game, kinda enjoyed but i don't know how to feel about the goofy looking enemies, like the way they were coming at you. 😂 pretty fine so i'll rate it as 7/10. 👻

Well, I am in the mood for something short today. Certainly a janky game, this one. All you do is hunt for keys, monsters just randomly kill you, feels like another of them poor P.T. clones. Honestly, CJU, amazed that you did not call this one a terrible indie horror game. The best part was seriously that you can just leave for once, which might have influenced your opinion a great deal. But enough jesting around - I suppose the few puzzles and somewhat spooky atmosphere are enough to elevate Night Grove above the usual rubbish a little, but we have definitely seen better. I do have a soft spot for horror games which feature roaming enemies, always creates a bit of dread, regardless of quality. But seriously, not a winner in this case.

MMM now I want cheesecake

First time I see CJU died many times😸

Chris really dissapointed! no worries, mate. Next time. 😄

I seen someone else play this, and thought: this makes no sense, CJU needs to play this so i can understand what the heck is going on.... and ya, still makes no sense...although i do understand a heckuv alot more that u did! Lol

Do we know what happened to happyfuntime and alone in the dark? Im still waiting for Plague tale to be finished

I cant take the jump scares.

This was an adequate game. Not a good game, an adequate game.

Hey CJU I was wondering if you had played the game Fractured Minds. Kind of an observation type game. I saw that someone else had, but I would rather see you play it.

boy, this game was... kinda doodoo. also, Chris, any plans to play the new Alone in the Dark? i was excited back when you played the demo. i recently finished the game myself, and i'd love to see you go through it, too. :^)

You'll never guess why we ordered this pizza

It wouldve been hilarious if you endded the video right then. Nice you get that rare chance to be a smart protagonist. I can see very mixed feelings here.

Pineapple and sardines.. Hey look I understand, try it. It's good

so. many. doors...!

Not exactly terrible but lacking the proper set up and context. A fine line between genuine tension and the tedious. Horror has to have elements that are relatable to be effective, set up the protagonist, some sort of backstory. Random NPC on pizza delivery turned to key hunting and mystery boxes doesn't do anything for me.
