Experience A Kid's Possible Last Night Alive In A Retro Style Horror Game - Night Freak 

Good

It is very night

Very is it Night?

Jeff is a terrible brother, Jimmy deserves better. It's a good thing that I'm an only child.😌

Yes it's night. Now go to bed.

"You're not so stupid after all"

Yeah, I was like, "Bro, if YOU didn't get any, what makes you think he will?"

I was genuinely surprised the brother wasn't like "Well shit man, props."

Clearly, the brother in this game is the cliche variety who's too dumb to breathe (probably got taken out by the killer).

fr the most insane part of this like WHAT edit: like cups are one thing i guess but BOOZE!?!? ALCOHOL ACQURIED BY YOUR YOUNGER UNDERDAGE SIBLING!?!?!? HUH!??!

I love joke endings/easter eggs in otherwise completely serious horror games, like the alien endings from the silent hill games for example

​@@FuckTheRU-vidUsernameChangeI think a lot of people hated that ending, but seeing some people love it is quite a pleasant surprise

@@nin2494 they're so iconic!!

​@@FuckTheRU-vidUsernameChange or the space monkeys from OFF hehe

Like the kidnapper emerges from the shadows and slowly walks forward as a tiger shaped shadow appears behind them Predator vs Predator: There's always a bigger fish

I hated exploring my house at night, and it isn't even a big house or anything. I'd sneak into the family room to watch TV (mostly horror movies, so I wonder why I was so scared), and I'd have to huddle in a blanket while I got scared lol

Lol my old house had a shed downstairs that we used as my parents' bedroom/dwelling. So I had to go outside whenever going upstairs/downstairs. Sometimes my family would forget to turn on the lights outside, so when my parents went out and I was hanging out downstairs alone late at night, I had to run outside in pitch black darkness, up a hill and up the stairs. I ran so fast, my eyes didn't have time to adjust to the darkness, so I had guess where I was going. I would start banging on the door and wait for my grandma to unlock the door. I kinda miss doing that.

It’s kind of a fond memory when it’s with a friend ❤

Ah yes, the days where I got too much internet access, and woke up hella early, and would make my way downstairs as quietly as possible to get a snack.

...that would have been more memorable than the actual ending

@@the13throseand certainly more satisfying!😤😤

@leeharper153 I know right. If some sick freak tried to harm my younger siblings, no law enforcement agency in the universe would be able to stop me from what I would do to them. Really don't get the overly mean oldest sibling trope.

@@quille1606 ultimately i think itd make for a more dramatic story if the brother like, in trying to be nice and give the mc something to do while throwing a party, got the mc kidnapped by ghouls.

@@leeharper153 that would bring the guilt factor up to eleven. That would be more interesting indeed.

I get that they were trying to show the protag as lonely and bullied, but I agree. It's nicer to see siblings who might tease and fight sometimes, but do genuinely care about each other.

I feel like the mega-antagonistic older sibling trope can still work if they give them a teensy bit of depth. For example; that they do secretly care about their younger sibling. In this case, Jimmy’s older brother would somehow save him from the kidnapper by hitting it with a weapon!🤔

the saw franchise would like to have a word w you

Just a normal syringe pit, as you see everyday.

You must play with the good kids.

I see you've never been to a ghetto.

The kidnapper is hacker. Setting the page up in a few seconds is the real feat here. Offering 10000 games for free is the easiest click bait for a kid.

It would be quite an elaborate kidnapping plot if they did in fact plan out the specific 10000 games in 1 download as a prelude to the attack

@@Binarokaro So they already had the page set up. It tracks because this is not their first kidnapping. But then that means it was the download that set things in motion in the first place. Which means from the download they got somehow his physical address. That means. It was in fact a virus! Kidnapper is hacker indeed.

It could work, they just need to setup a popup that only appears for people in a certain location that's close to the killer and then they could speedrun the rest of the murder

Given that this looks like it's in the early 90s, computers were far less secure back then. The kidnapper could have picked out the kid he wanted to kidnap and gotten the computer's IP address in any number of ways, and then waited until both the parents had left looking like they were going to be gone a while and messed with the search page to make sure he ended up on the download page. It's not a stretch for a kid in that time to go for the 'all the free games' thing. If you wanted to go as far as to make the logic of making the games reasonable as part of a kidnapping plot, they might have been designed to direct his behavior in a specific way that would have made him easier to grab, but failed due to where he was when he played it. The irony is that the one thing the kidnapper probably couldn't have predicted was that the kid had a game system in his treehouse in the middle of the freaking woods. I don't even think the camera in the bear would have been enough to locate the kid. If he'd just stayed in the treehouse, turned out the lights, and knocked the ladder down, he probably would have been fine.

Yeah it’s extremely familiar! Manly says he played the original but didn’t upload it. I swear he did though

@DeathnoteBB He did, it's in a video paired with another game.

What was the original like?

​@@shawnheatherlywhat's the video title? Link please?

If you wanna scare the animals away. Ditch the generator, go solar with battery backup, snd you're in business. Plus it csn double as a stand.

It kinda gave me FNAF vibes with the actual style of it. I forget the name of the one that was this retro-style game, but it's very much 80s era and I love it, yet it still can find a way to be creepy

that mini game is basically a copy paste of Activision's first Pitfall.

I thought the same thing. PItfall, just with more bear traps lol @@Fleetfoot

​@Fleetfoot Yup. And still strangely fun. Also the times of the promise of 10,000 games was a fun one; either you got a virus or a genuine games..most of theme trash copies but a few genuinely good ones.

@SpraxIAKS Reminds me of the old plug & play controllers I had as a kid

Yeah so did I and he only asked "what was that" after he had turned around

Maybe he did notice it. It only happened one time (23:37) before "what was that". By the second time we hear the creaks he's already aware of them and says so 31:44.

that was sooooo creepy omg

I was so focused I didn't notice that. Nice

23:36

Wife moment

Wait that's not what it meant?

@@Nepetita69696 I think she was angry that he was (in theory) keeping their money in a tiny safe in the basement, as opposed to an actual bank, and was being sarcastic in the note

@@katehucks774 I think that what's funnier is that your money is safer with you, than inside a Bank where Government and other corrupt officials can and will block access to it if they need it.

And it’s even funnier that it was a credit card in the safe, meaning the money was in the bank anyway

Paging Action 52.

My dad downloaded something like that a long time ago. It had those space invaders games, tanagrams, checkers, etc. It was pretty fun for kids.

Possibly a Ninja Sex Party song

Mhm!! I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. 😊❤

I’ve been following him since elementary school (I think I honestly don’t remember) I’m now a sophomore and sometimes miss a few videos

The creaking noise adds to the fact we see a/the man at the top of the ladder :-)! Also adds an eerie background noise

that creaking noise is from the pixel game. evertime he dies by bear traps.

I guess that call aims to sound out if the parents were at home, and the way they used is quite common and available in real life which is really creepy

It also made me realize how edited down other videos are, I was curious whenI saw that Manly's vid was almost twice as long as ones I saw come out yesterday and figured his will be the most complete.

Brazilian here.. 6:55 am as I'm writing this... should've been sleeping... gotta get up 12:30... I "love"my sleep schedule ☠️

its 3am for me here in California lol, this is simply my life

In my time zone this video was uploaded at 8:00 in the morning

around 6 pm

Do y’all need help

I just saw that clip and flipped out. Was NOT expecting Andy Bear's identity to be an ancient Watch With Mother marionette, but I am always here for Andy Pandy and Teddy!

I mean, to be fair, if I saw a pit full of nothing but syringes, I don’t know what else I’d call it

1. Phone’s often make your voice sound different 2. He’s a kid

Also maybe the kidnapper/killer actually had or performed a convincing voice.

​@@DeathnoteBB3. Hes tupid

dude it was a phone from 1980s don't expect it to have great sound quality

The way it is

90s/2000s trope. Big mean older siblings. 😅

I mean, most of the media that portrays the older sibling/babysitter that way is aimed at children. And a lot of kids think teenagers are rude, mean and scary when they suddenly hit puberty and have mood swings. So shows/games/movies/comics/books/cartoons portraying teenage characters that way is intended to relate to their audience. It's obviously exaggerated. It's less of a 'mean older sibling' trope, as much as a 'mean teenager' one.

​@@FuckTheRU-vidUsernameChange It tends to apply to the oldest sibling even pre-teen as well.

Depends. If you're playing as the older brother it's usuallt the younger siblings being unreasonably whiny

@@Buglin_Burger7878 can you give an example?

Well, Not sat on it. The hole is big enough that He probably would've fallen through. Maybe If He Put the windowboard over it first

I’d assume they’d just research it, that’s a part of building a game based on older time periods after all.

@@JinxeBlaq you know what, you're right lmao! we know stuffs from medieval times even because of all those rpg games and movies

Yeah, to be honest, the misunderstanding of the old tech was kind of the most fascinating element of this game for me. The fact that a lot of young gamers can't even imagine a time before video games were inherently portable is a very "welp now I feel old" moment. If that kid was going to entertain himself overnight in his tree house, he would be reading comic books, playing with toys, or maybe listening to a radio. He would not have his own computer hooked up with power in a treehouse with a floppy drive. Not in that era.

@@JinxeBlaq sure seems like these devs didn't even spend 5 minutes researching.

My lights are even already turned off, I'm getting evil tonight :]

Amazing to meet another human that actually knows of this iconic song. x3 It's so creepy and cool!

@@eclipciadarkmoon4105 It lives rent free in my mind

Obviously this is just a theory, but from the context clues I assume the kidnappers/murderers used to be a circus that fell on quite hard times, starting with one of their lions escaping - that probably gave them a lot of bad publicity and they couldn't keep above water anymore. Somehow they turned to kidnapping children to either traffick or make snuff films with judging by the camera in order to make money, as no one else would hire them due to them being 'freaks' and treated as subhuman, as one of the notes said.

That's kind of where I'm at, too. They have to be selling the child abuse/murder stuff on some site. I like how it went from them being circus performers, to them just going, "Fuck it, let's murder children." Surely, they could've found something in between those two@@VioletDiamond030

@@VioletDiamond030I think you're right, and also the "little girl" is probably a "freak" herself like a tiny woman. I mean it's unusual for a child to call their mom mother She probably gives the kid the sense of hope that they'll find a way out so they willingly fall into their own trap

I figured someone had answered this before I could. I played the crap out of that game long ago. It was fun but could be rage inducing too. You could say that about many Nintendo games though 😅

Manly did play the original game; it's the one he mentioned called "Jimmy's Halloween." I was also getting the deja vu, so when he said the old title I was like "So *that's* why I thought I recognized it!"

Did he take down the video? I can’t find it again

@@axuwu6939 He played it but didn't make a video for it.

@@iloveanothermanswives4278 He actually did, though! I found out after I wrote my comment that it was part of a video with two games in it, which is why it’s hard to find

@@iloveanothermanswives4278he did made video of it It’s actually with other game called father (2games 1video thing manly do)

Watch Barbarian if you want this feeling. You get it throughout

Just pee in the tree house! xD Or pee onto the ground from the door like a real badass.

I know right! It was traumatizing

The brother being missing implies he was probably killed, but the game feels incomplete. It's like it wants to explore some sort of backstory with this "circus" (?), but they got bored making it and didn't bother finishing it and just slapped an "okay now Jimmy's dead" ending on it and called it a day. What is the significance of the circus AT ALL on the plot? Because it's a tall "freak" killing kids? It's all rather pointless. You never see anything about his brother disappearing. I assume the tiger thing is referencing another game I didn't see or something considering Manly's reaction and unfinished thought, so I'll ignore that one, but even without that adding onto it, it's all rather dull and unfinished in my eyes.

or it taking seconds in the 1990s. Or burning a cd to a playstation while playing Atari graphics.....the list goes on

Well these days you buy them pre-burned onto some sort of media. Like a GBA cartridge. And they really are games, but like really horrible cheap knockoffs, only about 12 of them with the rest being repeated, and some genuine versions that are somehow corrupted as if they were *trying* to ruin them or maybe just used the world's oldest, cheapest laptop and crappiest hardware to rip a copy and then put it onto the cheap cartridge.

it was literally a hacked/haunted program that possibly lead the kidnapper to his house and only took three games to kill the computer lol

Damn

That game used to piss me off so much, but I loved it nonetheless. I think he might be talking about T&C Surf Designs though.
