DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO or they win stop look away please - TELEFORUM All Endings 

Welcome to the Why Club how Why are ya? *fun fact* this game actually has a cheevo if you quit it and come back hours later saying They Win

If I had a dollar for every found footage you're not supposed to watch, I would probably be moderately well off

Juliana got "replaced" by the fae in between the first and second loops. Her name changes slightly (gets another n) and she doesn't want to touch the iron horseshoe. Iron was considered the bane of the fae and iron horseshoes were often used as talismans of protection against them. Many legends of the fae involve changelings replacing people with strange "off" versions. Julianna gets you to take it down, removing the protection.

I love how manlys first instinct when pressing the elevator buttons is to just annoy the hell out of Juliana

Things about the Brazillian Culture that are good for the understanding of this: The Horseshoe is some kind of ward against evil here in Brazil. People back in the day used to put this on their door just to be safe. It was known to have an effect, specially against lightning storms. My gradma had one (or a couple). The plant is the same thing. We have a name for it here. It's tied to the same thing of Warding against Evil. If a plant is dying, specially this one, it means something bad is going to happen due to the influence of outside forces (usually people outside of your home who come to you and get jealous of something). All the other things seem to tie to some urban folklore of the 70's and 80's about cursed VHS tapes. But I guess that trope wasn't just spread here in Brazil. It's the same concept of The Ring or even Video Drome (Some people who get too stuck into their pursuit of the truth and then start to lose themselves).

There is something soothing about his voice that almost negates seeing Manly go through suspenseful and horrible things late at night.

Hypothesis: Watching the tape puts you in a "tape reality" copying our reality, and with each iteration or loop through, the "tape reality" degrades until it can no longer sustain you. Given the forced decisions and forced rewinds, it may also be sentient. This reminds me of SCP-1231, SCP-1733 and SCP-3006.

I don't understand how this renaissance of Brazilian indie horror games started, but damn! The one-two punch of The Windows Are Gone and TELEFORUM is sick. The photos, the ambiance of the house, the rooster over the TV, the voice acting? That's some top-notch Brazil vibes. OUR LADY OF THE DROWNED LAKE is also from the same collective.

One of these days one of these "don't watch this, it spreads by other people seeing it" is going to exist and billions will be doomed because their favorite RU-vidr uploads their EPIC GAMER reaction to it, copious clickbait and all

When the very first loop happens at 16:47 I instantly noticed that Juliana’s icon changed and name had 2 N’s instead of one. Chills down my spine and I got the nervous giggles. XD

Was expecting a massive jump scare. The game seemed PRIMED for a big one. Not disappointing it didn’t happen but still surprised they didn’t do one.

If I had a dollar for every "you must not watch this!" footage I watched I would have zero dollars from it because I am a cordial and law obeying citizen, that's why I "watched this video with my eyes closed.

I was not expecting someone to speak Portuguese - my native language - in this game. This scared me more than any other gameplay I've ever watched, lol I had to pause and look around confused

I don't know if the game is supernatural or not. But symbolism wise I think the game trying to critic the media and it's viewer in general. The phrase "Their lenses have become our eyes" probably symbolism for us, the viewer that stopped searching for the truth and instead consuming media mindlessly. The phrase "Turning off the vcs to slip their fingers" (I forgot the exact words) the word "their" probably implied to the government and the whole phrase gives meaning to stop believing the news and the government. Most likely though, considering the forest footage and the last video from the gallery I have a feeling this is just a prologue to bigger stories.

I believe the tape was a culmination of everything you recorded while playing. And that's why it's a recording of the unknown past and unseen future. And you handed it to Walter. Thus begin a loop. That's why everyone already had a different memory of how Walter 'ended' his last report on tv on the first run.

Besides just being a supernatural found footage story of "curiosity killed the cat". I think this story is also trying to show a little bit of the negative side of news media. I mean right off the bat our two portages aren't shown in the best light, their bothering a very recent widow, lying to her so they can enter her apartment and then using that time to snoop around without asking. The horseshoe on the first loop also interested me, yes it is a symbol of luck but it's something else too. I lived on a farm with my catholic family growing up and back then we used horseshoes as wards. You'd keep them upwards for all the good luck to collect and then you'd place downwards above a door so all that luck can spill out and keep evil from entering. With that context in mind it's interesting it bothered Juliana and she wanted it taken down. I don't think the two are evil necessarily but cleary they're not in the right either and they should have never entered through the door. I guess that's why the cameraman is given the ending where Walter (I assume) tells him he still has time to get rid of the tape and that it's not worth it and that he can slip through their fingers (their fingers being the government? Some head honcho of sorts?). He is able to hear this because he's different from Juliana in the sense that he was sympathetic with the widow and that he wanted to leave multiple times. He wasn't your typical news journalist that would do anything for a story. But what do I know I'm probably wrong lol.

_Very creepy_ And very well done. The little details in this game were great in setting up the loop of events and perhaps driving the person(s) watching into another dimension of time. Juliana changed to Julianna and her personality changed. Then the confusion of the apartment number, the strangeness of the widow who seemed to have an influence over you at the window. That was a great catch about the horseshoe magnet having something to do with preventing an entity from leaving or entering. And I wonder about the role of those lightning strikes. That ending with how he got the tape was a surprise. And that too was being taped. A really nifty horror game and I hope the dev does a lot more!

The birdwatcher in me is happy to see some lesser known birds featured in this game, like the story about the lapwing and the brewers blackbird clip on the tv set

DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO- immediately clicks the video 17 seconds after it appears

I swear this man has cured my insomnia. Sometimes I’m too interested in his gameplay to fall asleep though.

That was really cool. No idea on the story beyond a cursed tape, some kind of loop and a very good boy who doesn't deserve to be part of this, but it's really cool. Good tension, nice writing, some strong creepy moments. I don't really think we're meant to solve this, we lack key information putting us on equal grounds with the journalists.

Your lenses are their eyes. Turn off the lenses - cover the camera, break the TV, cut the broadcast - and you slip through their fingers. I think that's the key to understanding this story... the entities responsible for this nightmare want that tape spread to everybody. The true message from Walter is when he tells you to stop.

This is a really kickass little game. I love the art direction. Hit everything on the nose as far as pre-digital television goes. Even the dialogue boxes looked like news motion graphics I think it’s fair to say the dev took inspiration from Local 58. And the idea of entities whispering to you through a television screen called to mind Mandela Catalogue’s Metaphysical Awareness Disorder. The idea that you can be forced to learn forbidden knowledge you can’t come back from. To an extent, I feel like that’s what’s happening here, though obviously not just like MAD. It would explain why the characters dissuade you from pursuing “the truth” any further.

I see the Brazilians have already been summoned! It's so refreshing to see a game that's not set in a way too big private house in the town of Whoknowsville Pennsylvania.

Y'know what's weird about the horseshoe? It's turned around. According to superstition, the horseshoe needs to be open-side up to bring luck. But it's upside down, which means all the luck "pours" out, and may even bring bad luck.

I'm pretty sure the game itself is the tape that plagues the cast. The imagery when Juliana is watching seems reminiscent of some of the environments and happenings in the game, and the contents seem to be able to change with each loop. At least, that's how it seems to me. Also worth noting the message as the game opens says that this is a tape owned by ComuniTV and reproduction is prohibited. Meanwhile the copy Walter tried to make was mysteriously destroyed.

Omg Brazilian game! Didn’t realize until we saw ‘Walter’ speaking Portuguese and noticed Brazilian names in the credits. That’s awesome! ❤

Something about the artstyle and the point-and-click aspect really reminds me of the good old days of horror flash games.

I just realized, if Manly was actually really trying to warn us it'd never work. We would've already been watching. 😅

It was pretty hard to leave a like with eyes closed. There, I did what you asked me to, now they won't win for sure, not on my watch, nuh-uh, no sir.

Jokes on them I'm listening to the video... so do they still win or not?

Did you try putting T124 in the elevator? At 44:30 it flashes in the spot that would normally show 00:00 - definitely intended to be a sequence of elevator buttons, I think.

5 minutes in and i am in love with this game, it's gorgeous. i love old point and clicks and this style just looks phenomenal. i need more games like these to watch. this is one of the many reasons i love your channel, manly. you have a great taste in games

usually, i would get annoyed when watching a playthrough where the game's story is very ambiguous, but this one is very cool. I really like the concept and don't mind about all the weird things happening throughout the game.

This was a very well constructed thriller. No jump scares, not monsters just tension through and through. Loved it. Hope devs will elaborate on the idea because it is really good.

Funny the horseshoe is upside down, well- the prongs down. Your luck, simply put, has fallen out

It's still so weird to me that Manly never plays the Kitty Horro Show games. Most are short, and some are the best Ive ever seen in the genre.

You're an absolute KING, I love all your stuff and think you're the best playthrough channel. Been subbed a long time and you help me sleep with my sleeping issues and I appreciate it a lot.

caralho que honra man, um game BR de qualidade aqui show de mais!

just found your channel a few days ago and you’re already one of my favorite horror game ytber, with the way you voice act every character its js so on point! and way more entertaining or “realistic”

amazing. this one had such a good atmosphere. adriana standing in the doorframe before getting the coffee was the first thing to spook me. the story is an enigma... I felt worried for Gunpowder throughout the entire game, though. I feel like there are definitely many secrets tied to combinations of what you click, what you say, and at which point in the game you do it (am curious about what would happen if we ignore Julianna's prompt to remove the horseshoe the first time.) also, where did Juliana go...?

Why does the premise of journalists sneaking in to watch a V/H/S tape seem so familiar. Almost like there was a movie or two about it. Also Gunpowder is an odd name for a dog. Maybe more so than an evil tape.

I was wondering if this game was Brazilian as well. The names check up. But what confirmed it for me was that she called the money Cruzeiros. That and the fact she said they covered up journalistic works in the 70s. That also checks out.

"DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO or they win stop look away please" - You crazy bastard I'm in

It's like in the ring, only by ignoring the tape and letting it die by the pass of time the curse can die. This curse was born by the ambition of a reporter that wanted a big story to become even more famous and got trapped in a curse were the only way to be saved alongside everyone else is to ignore the story, the need for blood and death, let the death of a man be a tragedy instead of a news report.

Best time to watch and sleep thanks manly can’t wait to watch this many times to sleep and actually know the game play!

At 44:32 the TV programs change? The last one changes to T124 TELEFORUM. I wish I could play this, I have a feeling you can use the T124 in the elevator for a secret ending or something, near the end at 49:43 when you're in the elevator, T is one of the buttons you can use for a floor.... Very curious... Great video tho Manly!

There is actually secret dialog for continuing to ignore the 6th floor comment for a while, at least there was in the demo prior to the full release, but I don't see why it would have been taken out.

Had to open up the window in two different tabs, when the MC mentions Juliana looked "different today" I had to check. Juliana's name changes to Julianna and her image did in fact change.

This really never landed for me. I was waiting for a big pay off or a big scare, and I feel like it never came. The setup was superb, but nothing came of it :(

Manly is making 1 hour videos again and i'm all for it!

This game gave me chills and creeps. This was very well done imo

i really liked this game! it was eerie and ambiguous in the perfect way, with a tense, uneasy atmosphere that drew me in even as i was afraid what was coming next. extremely masterful! kind of reminds me of Ringu, not just bc of the tape thing but the lighting and story atmosphere. it puts me in the same chilling mood. plus, its cool to see a Brazilian horror game :D

since the release of MyHouse Doom mod, I see a lot of indie horror games inspired by the House of Leaves book. This is one of them, you see the word "tape" highlighted a different color just like in the book the word "house" is always highlighted - so that's a dead giveaway.

very interesting game. this one really feels like the dev has a huge bible of deepest lore, and only touches on bits of it. so much subtle things in the game, that are largely unexplained. but doesn't feel random or like they were just to be weird. it all felt like it was intentional.

The names, the money, the university... BRAZIL MENTIONED

Adriana: "Tea, coffee?" Mambly: "Thank you, one sip of each." What a lovely dog. I hope nothing happens to it. Humans, meh. Dog sole survivor = game of the year.

Imma simple fella, I see manly and I click

Juliana’s photo changes

One thing that helps me get through these, kind of, is to keep in mind that we're not the main character, but instead whoever is viewing the footage. We're safe! For now.

I JUST GOT JUMPSCARED BY PORTUGUESE 32:28 years of not being scared nor jumpscared at anything while watching Manly's videos lost because of my very own language, oh well😞

I’m cracking up at the idea of someone being asked to press an elevator button and immediately flailing all over the elevator touching every surface before even getting to the buttons all the while saying, “Is there anything else I can interact with here?”

Game has a very oppressive, anxiety inducing atmosphere. Will never watch again. Stressed me out. Good work developers.

I was just laying down looking for something creepy to watch, perfect timing for a manly upload 😅

4:10 this old lady is supposed to be creepy but i laugh my ass off every time she talks cus of the voice manly gave her.. AND I LOVE IT

Wait, so you pushed the camera out the window and the next thing the char says "the camera was holding me"? Am i looking too deep into it or

It's a weird feeling, these games you play...they always evoke some emotion through lighting, dialogue, environment..and sound. But sound is something gone from me...I see your videos always popping up and I wish I could just travel back a couple of years ago..or even just before last august when I lost the last little bit of low-mid dB range that let me hear things in games let alone someone just talking normally. I had a point to make here but I dunno I just cant hear like I used to and something in the video or your voice not being the same to me just triggered me. I gotta catch up on your videos lmao Ive been watching for so many years..well until I lost my hearing :P

Omg this one is soooo good (and im so entranced by your manly voice lol) im not even finish yet but had to come leave a comment. Its taken me almost an hour to get through the first 35 minutes. im at work and i keep rewinding it to make sure i dont miss anything!! I love it!!

This game was really cool. I really enjoyed it and liked the style. As Manly said, great atmosphere.

Everybody always forgets the second half of the adage. "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back."

Manly, Slay the Princess is out now

I swear, I could fall asleep just from listening to this man’s voice, it’s just so soothing

Alright im not the only one who thinks manly can be a voice actor

"35:42" "they said don't leave the dog alone" *immediately leaves room*

Dope ass video i love your uploads

Wow Manly; you just uploaded another video to watch before bedtime. Good luck with that!

Perfect to end the night on a chill weekend

Ah yes, a one hour Manly video is just what I need today ❤

something i haven't seen mentioned yet is that the icon used for the Operator's dialogue (50:33) is the same one used for the TV'S dialogue (15:59, and 39:32). don't know what that could mean but it feels important to point out.

Reverse psychology

One of the last runs, the TV showed the channels ... the channel for Teleforum was T 1 2 4. I wonder if hitting those buttons in sequence in the elevator would be another ending.

Joke’s on you, game; I’ve paused on the pre-video ad to write this, and I’m going to leave straight afterwards so it doesn’t even register that I I was here. HA! (Er…sorry, Manly.)

Oh, the moment it started I knew it was from the same devs of "Our Lady of the Drowned Lake"! These guys have such banging ideas, so looking forward for their next projects!

47:30 lmao the panicing like "WAIT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT"

I noticed you missed a code. In one of the ending scenes where it displays the times the 00:00 AM flickers and changes to "T124". Later when you saw the game was moving through the hall & elevator on it's own there were four button presses being heard, but not seen. What happens if you push "T124" on the elevator? Sounds like a secret ending?

I didn’t even process that the title said “dont watch this video” until i read the comment section LMAO i just saw that manly posted 12 mins ago and clicked on immediately Im a simple person i see manly i click

It's so bizarre seeing a horror game take place in 1980's Brazil. That due to being a lost decade so I'm very familiar with it, but at the same time I didn't get to experience it at all time since I'm a 90's child.

i played this game and watched it w several diff youtubers and i still cannot understand the story and the plot correctly.. this gave me a headache from thinking.. but i still love it anyways :D

Seeing PT-BR text really surprised me, but not as much as the old Brazilian currency cruzeiro being mentioned. Nice detail, since this seems to take place during the 70s/80s

Another comment mentioned the Fae and thats why the horse shoe was there. Although, it could be a possibilty that this is a duplicates situation with more skinwalker type creatures, and watching the tape directly creates a copy of you as a skinwalker/duplicate. The horse shoe could be put there a long time ago by Martin after he was experimenting with the tape and realized that another one of him exists, so researched and found the Fae explaining the horse shoe. But it wasn't the Fae, it was a skinwalker, leading to possibly him killing himself or the duplicate killing himself or killing him directly to escape the situation. Just a theory, i dont know much about brazillian culture, but i think the theory of the tape creating some sort of "alternate" has merit.

I know this ones gonna scare me, time to watch it before bed!

Brazilian game? Cool asf. Liked how they get the feeling of the 70s here

I love the style of this game. Gives me nostalgia of playing creepy flash games at night

This game has really a really good horror atmosphere. No jumpscare, no big monster reveal, no chase scenes. Just really spooky atmosphere and a general feel of uneasiness all around. My own interpretation is that the tape somehow gets its viewers stuck in a loop between timelines and alternate dimensions. That is why there are subtle changes each loop like Julian(n)a's appearance and personality. And the tape is pretty insidious in that it leads you to believe there is a true ending, but actually there is no true end. There are different "endings" but no big conclusion to the story. The only way to end this would be to stop watching ie stop playing. But the very act of trying to find a solution is causing the player to keep on playing, in other words you are trapping yourself in the loop.

Hey Manly "Slay the Princess" just released I can't wait to see you play it. :D

If they made a game directly based off of the movie REC that would be interesting.

The music was so soothing yet the tv talking was like someone chewing in your ear. ew. Thank you for the video. Update: when it said its too late a dish fell in my kitchen and I had a mini heart attack. Thats nice timing

Fun fact: “Cruzeiro” was the Brazilian currency before the introduction of the current one (Real). It was used between 90 and 93, which must be the period of the game. The 90s cruzeiro is the second appearance of the currency. The first one was from 42 to 67, which is definitely not the scenario in the game.

This feels like it's just the beginning of something much bigger than this one game...

that sign wont stop me because i cant read
