Happy Neighbors Hate You Hunt You there's a pig oh no You'll See - HUNSVOTTI 

Welcome to the Happy Commenters Club, how Happy Commenters are ya?

As the proverb goes, "A child who is not embraced by the village will gain force powers from a demon and commit mass murder."

The game is set in the traditional finnish juhannus-setting. It's celebrated in june as a celebration of midsummer. They thought it would give them good luck in getting married and the fields would have a larger yield. It was also believed that ghosts and spirits would rise to haunt during the event, hence the paranormal setting. And the bullying part was just to teach humility back in the days, "hunsvotti" is a badly behaving child or young adult. Now juhannus mostly an additional holiday and an excuse to get hammered

Every Finnish game I've ever seen played makes me think Finland doesn't actually exist and is actually just a fairy tale.

this game reminds me of the quote: "The Child Who is Not Embraced by the Village Will Burn it Down to Feel its Warmth."

Don't you love it when, after your entire village bullies you, you summon a well demon with flowers and he makes you his lover and gives you magic powers. Honestly the dream of every horror loving girl (and guy).

Manly's method makes sense. Getting the bad ending last is dissatisfying. No closure.

>"That's how I met your mother" >Mother died giving birth to the protagonist Protagonist's mom was a succubus sent specifically to sacrifice herself to birth him so that he can purify the world with flame under Perkele's banner. Such is life in Finland.

"I know it's hard. But you can't stay inside all day." Barely two minutes in and getting called out already

Notice that went you killing the women in your Berserk mode, they start urinating as you crushing them, which is awfully biogenically accurate since bladder tend to go haywire when the body is under extreme pressure, physically and mentally. And when you killed the Ghost Mommy, she reduced to a baby-holding stance. That's horrifically sad right there.

When the devil comes and gives you the antichrist abilities, the flag being lowered to midpole is a good touch.

Hey Manly, on the topic of "bad ending first" I think personally that I enjoy when you do the bad endings first, saving the nicest ending for last. Even if the game has no "Good endings" it still makes it feel like it had a happy ending, as close as it could get to a happy ending in most cases. I know I'm just one person though

Here are all the facts I learned about Finland this week: 1. If you don't want to do gymnastics, you can hatch an egg that will become an evil clone of yourself. 2. If you're being bullied, you can give flowers to a demon in exchange for superpowers.

I’m so happy that you made this video, Roope works his butt off making these games. We had a little happy dance when he was picked to be in the collection with all the other amazing creators. Without the support of the gaming community, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. 🙏🏻 -wifey of the creator of Hunsvotti

"this is a good ending" he says while riding a pig with his father's head behind him while a demon looms in in the background And i couldnt agree more

To get yourself a cool demon boyfriend who'd give you superpowers to help you take revenge on all the crappy people who tormented you and killed your innocent cat... This boy is living the dream.

Ironic how the kid just picking flowers to find someone who finally cares about them is declared the hunsvotti (a badly behaving child); While the people tormenting a kid, killing cats and nailing them to a wall just because their victim liked them, dressing like their mom and terrifying him, etc, are considered good behaving kids/people.

i love how respectful he is: he doesn't talk over the voice actors and he always shows the end credits.

Is this what you guys do in Finland? Just send the weakest Finnish kid to pick flowers, then unleash his true power?

I thought for sure that the "true love" in the well was going to be the pig in the barn, showing that even the universe hates the child. I like the real ending more.

This was surprising wholesome…??? Like the devil thing just starts calling you “my love” and helps you take revenge on the people who have been making your life miserable for no reason other than you were born with black hair

"You all deserve this. You saw what you did to the cat." That is a very good point.

_A nice love story_ People didn't think you were worthy, but it shows that if you want something enough, you can do it. We need more horror romances - especially where you ride a pig off into the sunset. :)

I love how the best ending is basically MC getting a big goth bf

Am i the only one who loves the fact that Manly's titles don't have a single comma?

"This is a good ending" is the weirdest way to react to mass murder in a video game ngl But you aren't wrong

As a finnish person I have to say that this is 100% accurate. Also if your curious "Paska" means shit. The swear word version of poop.

5:16 "I almost kind of wanna die, see if there's like an ending tied to it". Yeah, same.

Fun fact: in 1888, when the Game is Set, Finland was actually Part of the Russian Empire. In 1666, when the Village was founded, Finland was a Part of Sweden. Additionally, the 1660s/1670s saw a large witchhunt in Sweden, including Finland. It also Had a noteable difference to witchhunts in other nations, that being that Most of the people executed were male, as such Magic and sorcery was Generally ascribed to men rather than women. Past 1678, legal courts became unwilling to issue death sentences For sorcery, and the last fulfilled death sentence For sorcery occured in 1689. Given that the Game Features a Sort of devil-like creature, likely from Finish Folklore, emerging from the Well, it's likely that the village's founding is in direct Connection to the witchhunts of Then.

I like how Manly reads the subtitles after the characters are finished with their voice acting.

Finnish Carrie. The hindrances of the villagers are nice and varied. I like how you're not locked out entirely, but the more "rules" you break like stepping out in the fields, the more aggressive the village gets.

You create your own demons. Treated the black haired kid like its a demon. Black haired kid becomes what you keep calling him. *kills town*

those people had it coming, that was a good ending if ive ever seen one

This taught me the true Hunsvotti was the friends we killed with demonic powers along the way.

Love the style of this dev This game reminds me of that postman one, with the cult in the church

The dev did a great job making me feel absolutely nothing for the villagers demise at the end.

It's accurate to the traditional Finnish celebrations of Juhannus/Midsummer's. Definitely a commentary on their own people LOL but well done game and a fun video! What was interesting to me is the flag is at half-mast at the end when you're done killing everyone - to this day that's a sign of mourning. When someone has passed away the flag is flown half-mast at their house. This is done at houses of all sizes, even at apartment buildings. You did good on trying to pronounce the Finnish words and names! It's not easy :)

I'm from Finland and it's amazing that someone made a video game about my childhood

The voice acting had me giggling, mainly from the kids. Loved their high pitched voices. Anyway I'm happy that the kid got revenge in the end but...😭 really became the devil's husbando lmao

This entire game is "Look what you made me do" and I love it

Poor boy, thought it would only be the boys who were the bullies, not the whole damn town 😭

Love this very much, Manly. Like the horror isn't really as in a ghost, monster or stuff (except Perkele, I guess). But, the story tells that the true horror is the community itself. As a doctor who met many humiliated and exiled patients (especially those who have mental health issues), this is really hitting close to home, which is why I like it.

*A woman is levitated before turned inside out in a low-poly blood bath* Manly: This game is very cathartic :) *ginormous demon looms over the land as you ride into the woods upon a pig with your father's severed head on the back* Manly: This is a good ending :))))

“This is very carthartic” Manly says while exploding the literal life out of the happy village bungholes as he’s being followed by a demon. Totally relatable. On another note, this game reminds me of the horror movie Midsommar, which is about the same holiday…is that holiday really so horrifying?

Long time finnish fan here, how weird hearing the dialogue first in finnish and then again in english :DDD What a great game. If ya want long rambling abt the finnishness, here ya go. :) In finnish we only have one place for emphasis, the first syllable. So hunsVOTti is close, HUNSvotti is correct :D MustaJaakko was basically perfect. Yes this 7 flowers thing is one of the midsummer magics, although I think the flowers needed to be different types? And I guess being tough and mean is a necessary for surviving the winter here, so yea... Feelings are excess. Also hugs and kisses are very intimate, and you say "love you" only if it's romantic love. Yes beer or "kalja/olut" is very important to this day. And getting drunk during juhannus too, every year they report how many ppl drunkenly drowned, a cold weather during juhannus means less deaths bc of less ppl drunkenly swimming. The breadthrowing is new to me. The pig thing was... Weird. :D To this day we do slap ourself in sauna with branches, it stimulates bloodcirculation and smells nice. You can get ones made from felt if you dont have access to branches. Also yes you gotta saunoa during juhannus. Thanks for reading and playing! :)

they nailed your cat to the back of the outhouse dude, this goes beyond festive Finnish japes.

So basically Naruto, but he doesn't forgive the villagers for shunning him.

I recognized “perkele” as a swear word but didn’t know the meaning behind it. What a wholesome and educational game!

Feels weird hearing voice acting in my native language and manly reading it in afterwards. It is kinda accurate that finnish people are more reserved about personal problems altho it has changed over the years. We usually have personal boundaries even irl. Heck it became an inside joke that covid social distancing rules were always a thing even before covid. Juhannus is a pretty big thing in finnish traditions and while you don't beat people to deatb during Juhannus it is believed that summer is the best time for marriages. We also have this tradition of burning huge piles of woods and tying trees next to our doorways. Also yeah saunas and lakes are popular throughtout the years no matter if it is a searing summer or snowy winter. We also have Juhannus Kokko which is like a huge bonfire we burn on midsummmer altho city people don't really dwell on traditions.

What a sweet story. The boy is no longer lonely and he got cool friend from another side.

God dang, it's so strange to see my culture being represented in a video game. Especially strange to hear my native language being spoken while watching ManlyBadassHero's videos, lol. Also Manly got pretty close to pronouncing Musta Jaakko right, props for that! I wish it was Juhannus already.

I actually enjoyed the art style and how fluid that game actually is. Good playthrough manly ✌️

The first time where accidentally summoning a demon and then slaughtering everyone in your village is actually the good ending

I have no idea what the pig scenario was about in the bad ending and I don’t think I want to know.

Manly: “It’s a Finnish horror game.” Me: “If it’s available for purchase I hope it is.”

I like that you do the bad endings first so the videos end on a high note, but for this game I can't help but keep going 'Oh so this is how Finnish people live.' especially the two dudes raining down on the protag. What plentiful bladders they have.

Eating while watching Manly’s videos is the best thing you’ll ever experience☺️

I think this game takes from the traditional finnish culture pretty well, but it also takes influence from finnish death metal aesthetic pretty well too as finnish people have pretty big liking to metal and alot of old finnish myths and traditions have quite the morbid origins. Like there are a lot of finnish myths that could work for horror game premises.

Suppose this is what happens when you ruin a 100 year ritual, they turn into a cultist camp and go for you to appease their "Gods"

i love it when the woman in black and white said "its mommy time" and mommied on everyone

A fun start to Dread X Collection 5. I have no idea how accurate any of the festival is, but the cruelty of humanity is on point. While hardly ideal, I can't really say the ending isn't warranted if this is an accurate portrayal of the protagonist's daily life. Satisfying if nothing else.

It would had been funny if you had the option to kill by coughing at them

I like how when the protag goes on a rampage he kills people in a different ways with different hand movements. When he snaps his fingers, the person's head comes off, when he spreads them, the person is dismembered and when he curls them into a fist, so does the person. Nice detail.

This game was unsettling, mostly due to the visuals and weirdly effective atmosphere... I like it.

Idk about all of the cultural things, but we Finns do beat ourselves with "vihta" in s sauna during Juhannus. It's a bunch of birch sticks tied together. I love seeing Finnish games, especially horror ones!

9:26 The Finnish flag was flown full-mast as usual. 21:30 The Finnish flag was flown half-mast, as a symbol of mourning to the death and/or casualties.

I love the comment about "Don't run, you deserve this. I saw what you did to that cat". It just goes to show that there's no quicker way to piss people off than to hurt animals.

never understood people getting upset when you do the bad endings first. bad endings are usually the easiest to get so ofc you’d do them first

*PERKELEEEEEE!!* What a fun little game! It was also interesting to learn a bit about Finnish culture ^^ Thanks for playing, Manly! 💙

If we keep watching Manly's video, we'll be able to see almost every RPG game on Earth!! Thanks for your playing! I'll enjoy the video clip!

This is so satisfying, after all that bullying and harassment you get to kill the whole village in such an epic way AND you get someone who loves(?) you unconditionally

Half the charm of this channel is watching the objective discovery of a game that's new to me, a game I would never play, and the other half is watching the Let's Player react to that experience. What a fun example of both!

_I love your titles!_ There's a pig - I can't wait lol.

For the bad ending topic, I always feel the satisfaction of putting the good ending last than getting it first. Especially for those games that have awful or heavy bad ends, but yah.. That's just what I feel about it... The game has good enemies, the AI I mean. I also like the chases when the screen turned black and white...

This game gives me Midsommar vibes.

As a finn i can confirm that juhannus is coming up and i cant wait to sacrifice my village for perkele

Some vocabulary involved: Hunsvotti, "up to no-good"/vagabond. Paska, "shit" Ruis: "Rye(this case ryebread)" -linko: "Sling".. = Ruislinko: ???, I dunno, but looks dope. And as for Manly's-question: I am highly tempted to say; this looks like our extented family's last midsummer-fest.. But in a way it actually might end up being too accurate for some.. Since there has always been at least an undercurrent of 'pushing through with gritted teeth', which in finnish is embodied by one word: 'Sisu'.. And this behavior which pretty much peaks in times of cultural holidays.. Most notably the 'Juhannus'/a.k.a Summer Solstice, a.k.a 'mid-summer fest', other one I would throw in would be 'Vappu'( "workers' vacation"). And both have lots of drinking and 'saunomista'(verb. use a sauna) involved.. These might not sound too bad, but when paired up with 'sisu',(which some also conclude to mean, weakness can be smacked out of you with a fist (-By wielding or receiving..) ..although, these behaviours are not exclusively finnish..) ..But you probably detect the recipe for disaster. Of course these sort of gatherings depicted in-game are from a different time.. And what one could call the 'Juhannus'-phenomenon has been dialed up & over eleven. And even though you do not have to go as far back as 1888 to have seen something reminiscent of this.. I for one have not once in real life seen anyone don the traditional finnish attire.. But there still are some reminders of times past.. F.ex: The 'ritual' you're taking part in, gathering flowers and looking down a well, has been referenced throughout my childhood in children shows, most notably Muumit/Mumin/Moomin.. in which it is more illustrated to be performed by maidens, whom first must collect 7 different flowers.. Twirl around, and walk backwards toward a well, and when you bump up against the well, twirl back around and look down.. you're supposed to see your future spouse. (DARKNESS, DUN-DUN-DUHG) Also; 5-stars and a parrot-sticker to all whom finished this train-of-thought of questionable quality.

Nice! Another Manly video to take our mind off the cruel world we all live in.

“Hey Everyone this is ManlyBadAssHero and Welcome to…” Never gets old ☺️

I appreciate the variety of animations in the end phase. The devs had their priorities straight.

I love to fall asleep to Manly’s videos because his voice is just so soothing

I hate how cathartic the whole thing feels Normally I don't like it when the characters turn all powerful only to abuse others But it feels warranted here

Because the story is happening in 1888 Finland the things to do in Juhannus are kind of old in this. Mosty the drinking and going to sauna are still things to do on Juhannus, but some Finnish people do those things on normal days too. As a Finnish person, the voice acting in this was the best part for me! 🤣👍

I don't know if I've ever seen a game that made a spree so perfectly justifiable.

It's somehow satisfying to see the bullied protagonist get a revenge on everyone who have hurt him.

*"Pumped up Kicks" plays in the distance*

Wow, was ein super Spiel. Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob das akkurat ist, was hier über das Midsommar-Event gesagt wird, aber wie das alles rüber gebracht wird -das ist genial! Finde ich wirklich gut, dieses Spiel! Und mal wieder gut vorgespielt, manly! Grüße aus Deutschland Schnitzel

Surprisingly really enjoyed this one! I like to learn about different cultures celebrations, holidays, etc I thought the art style was well done, the creatures were creepy even the people... Almost as though you were in a fever dream that made a little more sense. Idk how to describe it... Ty for playing this, Manly :) Btw I don't mind if you get through the bad ending first you do playthroughs so well I don't even notice.

I've seen some garbage video game villages before but this place takes the metaphorical cake. Getting some strong Carrie vibes at the end there too.

I've read that the boy's true love is Perkele (demon) because his hair is black. And that's why they all bully him (like everyone else is blonde), and his mother also had black hair (the guy disguised wore black hair), and that's why they defecated on her grave.

I keep coming back to watch you play the game, I literally love everything about it

What a beautiful romance story.

Still a better love story than Twilight

A Finn here xD It's largely embellished though, we're not.. THAT grim :D At least I don't think so. But also I do recognize a lot of finnish attitudes in this. And well, since this is obviously set in like early 1900's the setting is very old. In very small villages people can be pretty narrowminded though and it's annoying when everyone knows everyone. But I think that goes for any place really x)

any game that ends in a bloody massacre as a result of crucifying a cat has my seal of approval

I wouldn't say it's horrifying but having a pig spray you with it's milk is uhhh definitely traumatizing. ^^; [edit] Nevermind saw the ending

And the moral of the story, if you are treated badly by a village, go drop many flowers in a well to gain devil like powers to kill everyone

Hunsvotti usually means like a lazy child who you don't like for reasons. For example: That neighbours kid who throws a massive tantrum everytime his parents ask him to do his chores, who breaks controllers and tv screens while playing fortnite, and who throws firecackers over your fence because he thinks it's hilarious when they scare your dogs is a hunsvotti.

What a wholesome story about love

At least according to Wikipedia, it seems like dropping flowers in the well is a combination of two traditions where, quote, "in the old days, maidens would use special charms and bend over a well, naked, in order to see their future husband's reflection. In another tradition that continues still today, an unmarried woman collects seven different flowers and places them under her pillow to dream of her future husband." the more you know.
