Garten of Banban - The Secret Story Explained 

I love how impartial he is. He doesn’t immediately say in the beginning “yeah this game sucks but here is the lore” even though it’s widely regarded as a bad game. I think it’s charming, but ultimately lackluster.

Say what you will, but that bird cocking its head and slowly making its way towards you instead of immediately rushing you like every other horror game monster was... refreshingly spooky.

I think a lot of people looked over this- the ball pit is missing it is displayed as a ball pit but it’s just a pit what could possibly have happened was children were playing in said ball pit until it was rigged to collapse under all the children hence the sounds of machinery and screams that die out seemingly getting fainter as the tape progressed it may also explain why that one child said his friends were screaming in the pit while he did not get on the pit so he didn’t fall down. It wouldn’t explain the blood on the wall unless the last child was brutally killed after the events of the pit.

Only Mike can find a story in any horror game, even if it was bad. Garten of Banban definitely needs a revamp. Guys I know the game got remade 😭

I did not expect a Story Explained for something so short and simple. And I absolutely didn't expect it to be so well done and make way more sense than my very simple "OK killer bird" impression. This is why I'm subbed. Well, that and hearing Mike say in the most professional and deadpan voice ever "Ooga Booga, Booga Ooga" as if reading something intense and insightful.

I see people criticising the game, which I will admit is honestly fair, but considering it’s free and made by 2 brothers, I think its ok to let it slide.

I actually don’t think the characters are meant to be animatronics, as they don’t seem to contain any mechanical parts on them hinting otherwise. But, they do seem to have a wrinkly texture to them, making me think they could be statues you would find at an art exhibit. Especially the Opilia Bird being hollow, and positioned the way it is, it makes me think it’s just there for decoration, but now the statues are moving somehow (which doesn’t make sense, but this game doesn’t really seem to make sense at all either).

I genuinely got a kick out of the bird just deadpan staring at you while it's slowly moving on the platform 🤣

Only you can make a game that can only be described as an AI’s attempt at making an amalgamation of every RU-vid horror game in the last 10 years interesting, props to you lol.

You can tell mike was really trying to stretch out a story here. You can here the confusion and sort of laughter with the “your pancreas is mine” bit.

The one thing I can give the developers props for is the use of QR codes that was neat

I think the game has a lot of potential, it just needs to expand both its story and gameplay. Apart from the secrets, it's really short for a game with multiple parts. It also came out around the same time as Poppy Playtime, so it's got some fierce competition with a similar theme

I think this game has lots of potential. When you think about it. The only “bad” parts of this game are it’s lackluster design and over obvious inspiration from games like Poppy Playtime. Not saying this game is a masterpiece, but, like I said, it has potential.

The premise of the game is very cool, even if not very direct as there seem to be a lot of stuff you need to infer and find to get a story. Although I cannot wait to see what comes next for Banban

Due to the poor design of the characters, I believed that the story was either the establishment's manager had their child draw a picture of some random, made-up characters, or the manager saw a drawing of the child's, and took inspiration from it since he thought the characters would appeal to anyone who looked at them because they were so simplistic and friendly.

4:52 “Get creative” really got me singing a song from something that looked innocent and childlike and colorful only to turn dark-

I don't think Opila Bird is dead, the footsteps come from below where it fell, and the footsteps can't help but make me think of Banjo Tooie where they have that mechanic where you can climb up a wall with bird feet patterns like that, but I'm probably way off 😅

The mascots: "Benm nice! Help others!" Ban Ban: "GIMMIE YOUR PANCREAS"

I feel like Garten of BanBan just needs more people working it and making it better

Wow, this game has so much more depth than I thought! Like I don't think people give this game enough credit if there's this much hidden deep within it! Sure it's simple gameplay but if the dev is willing to put this much thought into the story, I think it deserves so much more love, and at least as much attention as people are giving whatever is going on with Signalis!

I actually just realized- and wonder- what if the monsters arent bad but are protecting the kids from the adults? Maybe not but its interesting

Theory: The Jumbo Josh lounge will be your next location and as is revealed in the chapter 2 teaser, Jumbo Josh died after crashing the lift the protagonist was on, so the sequel could be Josh’s siblings hunting you down for revenge.

I’m genuinely impressed at how carefully you studied this Mike, well done!’ Brilliant work! Only you could find so much hidden lore in such a small game!

Banban: Sharing is caring! Your pancreas is mine! Me, a type one diabetic: Oh, you can have it, it doesn’t work anyway :]]

Can you talk about the story behind bondee's barnyard or the garfield horror game next?

SHHHH he finally found out the story. Keep it up Mike!

this guy always puts a smile on my face

Did anyone else notice that Banban is the only one with a creepy line/catchphrase?

Even if its bad Mike still dives in for an awesome story Edit: MUM IM FAMOUS

I love how he's like "oh, weird animal mascots? MUST BE ANIMATRONIC"

even when some games are short, he still is able to make story explained videos!

The bird was the only one that scared me, but not in a direct way. More like an atmospheric sort of way. It was the eyes, really beady.

The whole theme of it being a daycare and kindergarteners horror story is a pretty cool idea but if they can fix like the story/lore to make sense, it could def be a cool game. Only thing I really didn’t like I would say is the drone, I would probably change it to one of those wrist return balls and use that to hit the buttons.

I feel like Garten of Banban got way too much hate for what it is. It triggered this intense wave of "new horror games suck" and essays of why GoB specifically is terrible. But like, it's just a short, silly little experience made by two people. I thought the designs were okay, the bird section was funny and the drone mechanic was interesting. People are treating it worse than a lot of low rated big studio games and it still shocks me, honestly.

I think the Jumbo Josh Easter egg may be a teaser for the next area in part 2. Since it is Jumbo Josh who pulls you into a new area at the end of part 1 it only makes sense they are giving thsoe who put the effort in a tiny tidbit more of a spoiler to the next episode. It seems to indicate it will be a break or party room setting and there will be multiple, different colored and hostile Jumbo Josh characters to avoid. It also seems to indicate your objectives will have something to do with cake. Perhaps the key card to escape or some other important item will be contained within one.

I needed this, I wanted to know more and now, I have it. Thank you mike

The bird gave me chills. The way it didn't immediately charge but seemed to observe the player with a sort of predatory curiosity was genuinely scary.

I honestly like how this game looks

I love your videos so much! You put a lot of effort and care into them, and I feel safe going on insane adventures when you play. Your lore videos are amazing, too - you always seem to find stuff every time you do another re-play. I know it sucks to do multiple re-plays, so thank you for doing it! :D

I assumed the protagonist WAS the missing child, and the parent's search had already happened during the intro.

the way you narrate is super clean and easy to follow + the song choice is always super nice and fits the tone you got some talent man, keep up the good content

This guy has a talent for finding lore in games I wish his channel the the best. I salute to him for managing to sit through that game to be honest

When that one mascot said ooga booga…that really spoke to me

Did you know that the opila bird didn't actually die? If get on the elevator and you keep looking forward, but then look slightly to the left into the corner. You'll see something small in the distance, zoom in and you will see the opila bird.

A bad game. A great video

If I were to give this game a rating, it's a 7 of 10 for me. Some games don't start well but then they make a big comeback into something spectacular. Like Dark Deception for example, it had an okay showing in 2014's demo, but now it's en fuego. This game is a bit basic, but for a demo chapter it seems alright. Plus, I was REALLY creeped by the atmosphere in this game and for me, I kinda like that this demo's chapter puzzle was easy because it is a common horror trope for something to be too easy and then you get got a second later.

The bird was like, "oh shit, she spotted me!, I should get back to my room!".

I never thought that Garten of Banban would be give off this hype,THAT fast,it's unbelievable

This game has a shorter runtime that the actual video. How did this game go so wrong in so many ways.

The question is: Why are there so many characters in a kindergarten? They’re acting like it’s a kids restaurant or something

I am easily impressed, I love indie horror, even i like Garten of Banban, while ultimately lackluster and pretty much is a copy of PP to an extent, I still like it's designs, it really does nail down the weird, yet simplistic and colorful design of daycare paintings om walls. I hope it goes somewhere, but doesn't try to be anything more than it is.

I actually quite enjoyed this game. It's extremely simplistic, but I feel like it has potential. The drone mechanic is clever and I have to admit that the atmosphere of the game is very eerie. The large play area where the Opila bird can be found has that perfectly unsettling liminal vibe and even the bird itself is fairly disturbing. The design is simple, but the way it moves and slowly stalks the player before attacking is extremely creative. I feel like a lot of antagonistic characters in video games tend to charge at the player without hesitation, so I thought that was an interesting add-on. I'm excited to see the sequel to this game as well as a continuing series about its lore on this wonderful channel.

“Where they would sit and get creative” *DHMIS flashbacks to the creative episode*

wow this actually makes me interested in this game good job bro

Here’s my theory about the tape. Banban left it for us. In garten of banban 2, banban helps us in the first segment. He probably left the tape there to show us what happened to the kids in the kindergarten.

“Ooga booga booga ooga” got me rolling 😂😂😂😂

I feel pretty bad for the creators of this game. no matter what their original intentions are, it doesn't feel good to be bashed for something you made. I'm glad superhorrorbro didn't say anything about it, because even this comment I'm typing makes this whole situation worse.(also wait the bans are cats??? they don't even have tails! they did this to foxy, to bendy, and now the bans!!! no0o0oo0oo...)

ayyy a story explained

Thank you for the summary and the secrets I’ve missed. I Love these games and a lot of stuff is cryptic and weird at first. Explaining them makes them even better.

I can’t believe mike found story for this. Insane job mike!

Wait, your NOT going to mention the blood? On the green giant’s hand! Jumbo Josh at the end!

I don't understand why people hate this game It has potential

people are saying others say "This game sucks" and i dont get it. Thanks for the lore, Mike! Love you!

It seems like a lot of people who love similar games hate this one. They're missing out. Regardless of similarities to Poppy Playtime and such, it's still really cool and the story is still interestingeresting.

I don’t know what it is but mike makes games sound so interesting no matter how bad they are

When you made the video garden of banban was only 10 days old

This is great man. My son has been getting really into this series and I felt bad because I work 60 hrs a week and couldnt really understand what he was talking about when he was drawing pictures of Jumbo Josh and Queen Bouncillia (I think that what he called the purple kangaroo). Im not a huge gamer but these videos have been great at explaining the story to me so I can better understand what he is referencing when he tells me about the characters. Thanks for these awesome videos!

Even tho the game is "bad" i see potential in it. I bet they'll make a part 2 of the game and have more lores!

Awesome new story explained video!

Me and my sister theorised/predicted that it may be banblina who helps us a bit in certain chapters of the game (prediction: since we saw teaser images for chapter 2 we haven’t seen any room corresponding to the colour white this may implement a fact certain mascots appear underground one of which could be banbalina her message implies that she is a kind soul and the colour white also implies that she is innocent/pure soul (or mascot) so uh yeah that concludes my theory/prediction) lol

Wow I didn't know this game was getting so much hate, after watching this video, I'm very interested in the plot of this game. I think it's very scary, the rooms, the sounds, and the characters scare tf out of me. I can appreciate that fear. I really like this game!!!

Garten of BanBan is basically: Poppy Playtime mashed-up with FNaF.

As it is maybe a copy of a bigger game, you make it interesting. And reveal the actual good parts of the game the LOOOOOORE. You are so good at story telling.

The fact this guy even considers making a video about a game so bad automatically raises my respect for him

7:59 when you are in mobile tap the screen and the boarding pass shows a pattern

The game is actually pretty interesting. It doesn't appear scary, sure, but it doesn't make it a bad game. Besides, it does have potential, it's charming, and it has enough room for improvement.

Aw hail naw 😳☠️☠️😳‼️‼️garden of ban ban got me tweakin☠️☠️💯

SOO COOL THANKS FOR PUTTING ALL THE EFFORT TO JUST EXPLAIN US! keep it up!

Wow, you caught things that I had missed. Thank you!

Love your videos man🙏

I don't see what problem people have with this game. It's quite hard to develop games as a developer myself. Yes this game was heavily inspired by poppy playtime and most likely rainbow friends however it is developed well. There's a plot to it that's quite deep and it's a nice game.

I can see a ton of potential in this game!(still haven't checked the second one) the only thing I kinda dislike is the designs of the characters, they don't really scare me they kinda look goofy(though the eye contact the bird does intimidates me a tad bit)

In the audios (at the clock and in the tape) I heard the kids saying "We're locked in" or something like that.

6:05 it actually didnt affect the glass, it was the button that changed, it was grey at first but when you read the card to it became red and pushable (obviously you couldnt break at first i know that, but when you first toured the cafeteria there wasnt batteries either)

Tbh i find games like BATIM, Poppy playtime,FNAF a trend of mascot horror and Garten of Banban is one of them as i feel like i might be the only one who finds it a tiny bit unique

Hey Super Horror Bro! I just wanted to let you know I've been watching your channel for over a year now and I love your work! Keep it up!

Yeah as the time ticks don't mention the chair on the right that moves and then goes back to its original place Also I don't personally think it's a bad game, it was very well-made and the lore is quite good I believe

When he said all of the creatures like Opila and Banban are animatronics I was kind of annoyed as he didn’t know they were lab experiments made with a chemical called givanium and genomes from a human

Love the video

Mike you deserve so much more keep up the fantastic work

I watched this at 10:40 pm and after hearing that audio makes me not want to sleep anymore :)

"The fate of the young ones" had me wheezing for a few good minutes lol Great video, it's damn surprising how you can salvage this mess of a game.

3:47 This part feels familiar for some reason… almost like it was from a different game 🤔

He resisting laughter on banbans quote lol

That being said, SuperHorrorBro always makes intriguing videos.

There’s something about this game I actually really like. I don’t know why

2:51 also the main star of the group if I recall correctly!(honestly it's really creepy when he said your pancreas is mine! why he said that! in the daycare for kids?! Talk about foreshadowing right?)4:55 it maybe called the naughty corner! But to me it's the time out corner(I always hated going to the time out corner as a child even I'm older I still hate the time out corner! At least I know how to behave! But I still hate the time out corner!)6:40 I always hated something terrible happened to the children! Feels like five nights at Freddy's all over again!(and speaking of Fnaf I'm curious about the DLC of security breach! The part of me is really worried about Glamrock Freddy! Hope we will fix him and his friends in the DLC! Honestly I'm reluctant to fix Monty! But no one deserves to be broken and besides I'll become as bad as him if I turn a blind eye! So I had no choice! As much as I hate Monty but I also hate seeing people suffer! Regardless if they are living beings or not!)10:48 disturbing audio alright! I heard a scary breaking noise and the screaming the horror followed by more screaming!(man if feels like poppy playtime chapter 1 and 2 all over again! Speak of poppy's playtime I'm curious about chapter 3! Especially the knowledge we learn about in project play time!)11:34 looks like we not just had one but two responsible ones! Who done terrible things to the children!(I already imagine the parents are very angry and worried! Angry to the People who hurts their children! And worried for the well-being of there children!)13:22 that's very interesting and also easy way to find secrets(especially for people who are new to this game that's a very useful guide!)

I always watch and listen to your videos, right befor bed, your content relaxes me a lot!

story explained is probably my favorite videos on youtube
