Horror Game Where You Play A Streamer Who's Being Stalked / Chilla's Art - Parasocial ALL ENDINGS 

Very Hey It’s Me

good,wby

Hey, it's me. You probably don't know who I am, so not very much.

Hey it’s you

Good

Manly is beloved

Ikr it's so sweet.

"I believe in you. Everything you do is going to be successful." ;_;

It's great that he has supportive parents, not many parents see streaming or content creation as a legitimate career, and its unfortunate By what I understand, it's a very hard field to be successful in, cause it's really based on luck, but idk

As long as you’re not being _“Parasocial”_ about it. I’m sorry; I just had to.

I can't even imagine. I had an stalker back in the day. I'm a guy and he was also male. I was seeing that person literally every single day, everywhere. At the stores when I was doing basic groceries, and even at my uni during the lectures (Lectures are free in my country so anyone can get in and listen, even if you are not a student). When I seen him next to home, I just called the Police, and then it stopped. I even got few weird emails back in the day when I was streaming and doing yt vids a bit but idk if those things were connected. Anyway, that was very light case of stalking and I can't even imagine how bad it can be for your when you get very "invested" stalker. One is very bad, group of them would be the reason to spend all of your savings on the private security team. Police can't help you until they do anything to you, which is awful >.

​@@DrejkolI always hate that, they can't do anything until you're actually harmed. I'm sorry you went through that, I've had my own experience with a stalker too so I know it's very unnerving. It's scary that it gets to the point where you have to take it upon yourself to confront them

​@@Drejkolgentle reminder to always stay strapped

​@@Drejkolhope your doing well and safe

@loveu2death441 I'm fine. I was just stupid back in the day. Right now, I could call friends from the police and politics to fix any stalkers. Back in the day, it was scary tho :c

Professional deformation.

So when does he get a vtuber model, that way he can become ANIME

@@HappyBeezerStudios I hope not. He's perfect as is.

The sheer amount of corporate professionalism is sure to give manly a big boost.

100% parasocial right there

​@@theotv5522Pretty sure it's intentional at this point. One of the highlights of a Chilla's Art game

Yeah the jank is part of the charm at this point.

@@TheRoseWolf Yeah, it's the best jank. It's awesome to look at them go. They're still better characters than those in many photorealistic games.

What if Asuka is secretly the real mastermind, and the 4 accused were just scapegoats!?

@@bleblo-jr9xb i wonder what her motive would be for plotting the whole thing if she was the mastermind?

Ya actually I noticed the ratio was real good too lol

Flashback to Needy Streamer Overload where when the protag wanna hit 1 mil subs in 1 week, you can feel Manly dying inside in his voice

​@@theotv5522month* but yeah still insane

That's just your everyday VTuber ratio.

@@yaobikuni1349 ; mmm i'd say the biggest tell is actually the self-filling timed tub. i was literally just looking at apartments in tokyo/shinjuku. the one bedrooms i've been able to find are at a fraction of the cost of what we pay in L.A. for something much older and ghetto and they've all had the same bathroom setup as niina's bathroom down to the same glass accordion door for the tub/shower. they just don't look as shiny as hers but the seperated bathroom is the same.

i had a feeling those were the same girls. poor mayumi 😭 who just casually tells their friends that they're fat?? also, i'm positive the guy in the back of the cafe was the squatter (milk guy), and james is the foreigner from the closing shift.

Not after, but during. Seems to be Parasocial and Closing Shift took place in parallel with each other. The female protagonist from the Closing Shift is shown in this game, when Nina and Asuka went to Chilla's Coffee. She was the lady with ponytail working at the back while her colleague manned the counter.

@@railmacher1303 Ah I guess that explains the hooded guy too since he's seated in the same place the stalker in the closing shift was

@@railmacher1303is the James guy the detective from closing shift?

@@z54964380 No, the investigators name was Hassaku. The same name the drunk guy is muttering about (side note anyone find it weird this dude can order beer at a cafe?). So again I think this game takes place after since Hassaku dies in the The Closing Shift and this drunk guy in Parasocial must have been his friend/student James could be the first guy we serve in The Closing Shift the one that says there's something strange about the place

Manly’s father, manlybadassdad 😌

@@fruitysnacc missed opportunity for manlydadasshero

yes everyone needs a supportive father

@@checkerhat327 DANG IT YOURE RIGHT

dadlybadasshero

Oh lmao I didn't even notice that she was stalling because of the stalker, I thought she was just really hungry 😂

Ohh I just notice this

Oh wow I did not realise that. I just thought that's just the devs padding out the game, kinda like later Bendy chapters.

i thought she just wanted to stress-eat how did i not notice that

That is a very interesting detail.

Yeah someone on Kubzscout comment section mentioned the same thing

Most likely so. Also, when she keyed in the 4-digit code to clear the game, she was probably allowing the program to take control of her camera and avatar, allowing her identity to be exposed.

Maybe 🤔

That is most certainly the case

RATs *are* detected by AVs lmao, stop being a poser without actually understanding a thing

Also the guy was capable of coding his own games for her, so he's likely capable of coding his own malware, which an antivirus is not gonna pick up on if he only made it for her because it's gonna be brand new malware in that case and antivirus programs won't have it in their definitions yet..

personally i read chilla's work as not so much games first but more interactive narratives that utilize the hallmarks of video games to make the ideas more digestible. theyre always these intentionally off-kilter yet also apparently highly faithful depictions of every day life in japanese cities that all revolve around paranoia, social anxiety, and distrust, often masked or bandaged by a very thin veneer of social kayfabe. those are ideas that resonate with a lot of people online, and more and more people offline as well, this sort of concept of social mores and expectations distantly policing a conversation, causing people to revert back to a normalcy that results from a lack of explicitly defined tension, instead of being able to actually deal with the source of the anxiety. i mean thats kind of how tension is built in horror, but there's also a reason why its such an omnipresent thing for chilla's work.

@@commandantcarpenter They deal with topics that are relatable to the average Joe, which to me works better than games that tries to scare you with some eldritch beings that you know for certain don't exist irl.

@@yaobikuni1349lol The Tale of Genji is definitely not a horror novel ….

Meh, while their themes do tend to be dark, their approach is just way too corny/schlocky so the tone just ends up all over the place. Point in case here is Asuka calling MC a noob right after her whole stalker ordeal, or Asuka being a typical horror character throughout the story, or the janky af walking animations that are still being used. Still this is one of their better games, it had some tense moments and the plot was intriguing enough. I just don't think their games are "deep" or their "commentary" is anything deeper than your average Dora the Explorer episode.

Definitely. The true ending explained why the manager wants to know so much private info and why the "officer" won't do the report in the station. That left me mighty puzzled

​ @magical-soap5359 So true. The manager implying "a stalker incident" unprompted at 32:16 and the rant about Nina's ex at 39:34 was wild bc the manager was a stranger to Nina. And the officer saying "call *me* directly bc it takes too long to call the police" right after not letting us go inside the station was alarming. The true ending explained it all but the bad ending was also good at portraying they all working together to _rescue the princess_

@@DoodleMonsterRocks The way everyone is saying "it's dangerous for a young woman like you" really made us think all them COULD target her... I was paranoid 😨

@@DoodleMonsterRocks I like to imagine the face of Nina: "I'm literally next to the station, why don't you let me go in?" "Nah bro it's too crowded there"

​@@magical-soap5359 Honesty, I just thought the officer won't report it because the stalker "didn't do anything harmful". Sadly, it happens all the time when someone report in for stalking and the only response they get is " ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ he didn't do anything bad so just deal with it, he'll get bored"

I was very concerned, thank you for explaining.

@@SilverDragonJaysame here, I thought he was gonna pick up something from it ewwk as if he was picking flowers.

@morganthomas2912 since you mentioned "English"... I got this "Picking Flower" phrase from an old Gothic Anime called "Kuroshitsuji" (The Black Butler) set in a fantasy Victorian England, one of the side character said he was gonna "Go pick flower", he act a bit feminine.

I was wondering about that. I knew it was some kind of figure of speech, but couldn't think of what it was.

I was so confused by this lmao. Thanks for explaining.

I feel like it's a great way to Adress stuff like that. Like,what better way to Adress a game community issue than to make a game about it,especially when you know that it's gonna track attention if you make it horror oriented

@@ryomahoshi4529Hey, when it comes to stalkers and creeps, all you can really do is inform people on how to avoid them. After all, they’re the kinda people that won’t stop no matter what you say.

​@@JinxeBlaq It doesn't really help that it takes a lot to get some legal protection from a stalker.

The thing is. It can happend everytime that its scary.

@@JinxeBlaqReminds me of a case where a "fan" travelled across America to torch a streamer's car.

All the other protag from other games walked so she could run.

Do wish she didn't leave to go get a snack though. Questionable logic.

@@shawnheatherlylike uher eats exists

Nah she just call her friend out in the open caffe and talk about her home security like that lol 😂😂

as uncomfortable and disturbing as it was, the karaoke was probably my favorite game from them so far. the different endings and the way they hint at them is super cool and i hope they do more like that!

Cuts to a shot of the balcony where the protag dumps her friend down the apartment for being a Raid shill.

Or they just have the characters go "Man, you know what? We should watch a movie. Lets watch *insert movie also made by the same people*"

He has the right priorities

It's the Chilla Art's universe. They probably get more complaints about Stalkers and Ghosts than about heating issues.

Can't agree more

They stream on twitch sometimes

@@nalon__yes they do

Cept he did miss the stalker in the chat 🥺

twice so far lol @@monopolizedopamine

Yep, knew they were the stalker when they were the only one with an English username. If this game teaches us one thing, you can’t trust Westerners/Westerner-loving fanboys to not stalk Vtubers.

I thought he was suspicious when he sent that weird game link at the beginning

@@pinkmokke Yea, good catch. The devs should have probably had another “user” send it, with iLoveNina encouraging her to give it a try.

It wasn’t easily missed. It was quite obvious. As soon as I saw the name, I was like “ ILoveNina, yeah he’s obviously the stalker.”

​@@SirDubbs They're not the only English ones: there's also a "getme" and "pwing123" there from what I saw

I was surprised he didn't notice until the conbini store line as it had happened multiple times

They do it at least three times, with the first one being "I go to chilla's too" right after they went to the cafe

@@cosmiceclipse3142 Yeah I saw

Im pretty sure he did notice but was playing along being a streamer, cause lets be real if you respond to those comments on a stream, your gonna affect the mood and give that person what they want. So he just purposefully ignored it. Or maybe he did just miss it who knows.

@@TheDarkEnigma Ohhh that makes more sense

I believe some security guards actually do that in Japan.

@@zdzislaw_sedsinski The more you know

I know in the US "community service" kind of has the implication that you're being punished but that's not necessarily the case. For example: you can actually volunteer for community service if you're just invested in your local community. Some employers even encourage and reward their employees to preform community service in their down time. The point of community service is to serve your community after all. The point behind assigning it as a punishment for some infraction is as a form of restorative justice to either clean up a mess that you yourself made, as a form of -slavery- paying the community back by preforming free labor, or as a way of forcing a person (who may be inclined towards crime) to connect with their local community and thus be less inclined to harm that community in the future. I know a lot of people think of punishment when they hear "community service" so I think a lot of people just call it "volunteer work" when its not compulsory to avoid the misplaced stigma associated with the term "community service". For non-native English speakers and/or non-Americans, I'm not surprised the distinction got lost in translation. anyway, have a 🍪 for reading that.

and bro was asking so many questions

@@SilverDragonJay that's why here people call it "volunteering" to avoid the negative connotation.

It’s kinda brilliant though, right? Like they need to prove they can and will make them all in on it so you can’t be so sure who’s red herrings in the future

99.99 times out of 100 if you have a stalker it's going to be a lone weirdo I would think. I guess I can see how it would make you paranoid though, it's just self-preservation. I'm very glad to be broad shouldered and tall (and male obv) - I can walk past a group of guys on the street and night and stare right back at them as I pass, forcing them to move out of my way instead of the other way round. And I can go for a midnight walk with no worries. Must be very hard and scary to be a woman on her own in such cases. I think I'd probably just not go out anywhere after dark unless it was a public and well populated place and even then I'd be on guard. Would probably carry some sort of defensive equipment and an emergency contact device/alarm to be sure.

Man I was really hoping to see more of him! He seemed sweet

I think that's because of different cultures, Japanese and Westerners, for example I've seen a lot of comments here calling the fake police out by saying no police do community service when in Japan it's actually a thing.

As much as I love the paranoia atmosphere, I can’t help but laugh at how dumb the protag was. Like if you click a dodgy link strangers send you it’s natural selection at that point.

Of course it feels like that lol. It’s a relatable experience for a non negligible portion of the population. Millions of people have been stalked, doxxed and harassed online.

@@theotv5522 if some random stranger sent me a sus link I would first scan the link in virus total then open it on a vm

Yeah, Suzuhara Lulu, for example.

@@theotv5522 Well, taking in fact what happens next I don't think that game link was the main reason why it all happened. If you know what I mean.

Is being a streamer that appealing? To me it's like one of those short-term profession that won't last till your retirement once you passed your prime days.

@@theotv5522 it's just a joke

​@theotv5522 Well, logically speaking, people want to stream and make videos because it allows a schedule that people can change on their own will. It is much more appealing than other jobs, but yes, it has a high potential to fail. It's just another side job you could do, but if you become big enough, it can become a main job. Videos continuously make videos if they are good enough and can provide some form of passive income too.

I've been fortunate on this end with my subscriber base being overall pretty good about it, I've only had to block two people in my entire channel history. Certain Vtubers have had it a lot worse.

Wait, what? People actually do this stuff?

@@Kysenrr yes thats the point of the whole game

Yes, creators are much more cautious with how they interact with fans and boundaries since about maybe 8 years ago when the RU-vid Twitch boom started to hit its peak. Knowing from personal experience of being there, the highest level creators don't even walk con floors anymore or interact much and if they do they wear literal masks. In the Vtubing space if a creator's real identity has spread around enough they're sometimes advised to also not go out in any event public event on the floor as small things they do or people they talk to could lead to a security breach of the more hidden remaining creators. I've heard of instances of them even using different phones so if they lose it or it gets stolen their socials that have access to the rest of the creators doesn't compromise them. It's kind of interesting stuff.

@@ManlyBadassHero Wtfff, how does one even become so infatuated with an online personality???????

The Great House of Badasshero

The badasshero family

The many business ventures of Chilla, they seem to make nearly everything in this world.

I'm sorry you're going through that. Stay strong and aware. ❤

I feel you it's terrible

I am inside your home

Open the door.

Im in your walls

The way he practically warped in almost had me laughing instead though. What made no sense though is how only on the second incident with the convenience store was she all "he knows where I live!"

Chilla loves those kind of tricks. I think there was one with the Closing Shift with the mom and her baby carriage, or that one loud scare when you're in an elevator while playing as a delivery man delivering stuff to a rundown apartment.

Also just how narrow is this building if the apartments have balconies on both sides?

his 0 to 100 was insane

I say this game happened AFTER the other game, because there's a guy weeping about Hasaku, who was the detective that died during that game. Which means by the time this game takes place, that private eye was already dead/missing.

@@theotv5522 Oh, you do have a point! I only assumed this because manager-senpai (forget his name) was missing on your last day of work. I also thought the MC died at the end (because of the man in the closet) but I could be wrong!

​@LeftInLyoko Thats the different ending that vary. I think you can drop a brick and kill the man, walk ourside and die, or something else i forgot

@@LeftInLyoko i'd like to think that the girl and the manager were somehow saved and just went back to work to start a new life after all that nightmare with a stalker. I was very sympathetic to this girl and wanted her to be alive!

@@defnotnaruto222 I guess it's up for interpretation depending on the ending you got! It's been a really long time since I played or watched anyone play so it's all kinda distant. I just thought it was safest to assume it was before the ending!

All that's left is fixing the janky animation and they're golden. Flashback to their older games, it's hard to be scared or take in the amazing atmosphere when you see a guy moonwalk out of the room, or just de-spawn around a corner.

right?? i saw chilla's art in the name and had to stop what i was doing immediately. i was falling asleep

No joke I was on edge when Manly pointed out the shadow clipping through the walls when the protag was in the bath. I was soo expecting a jumpscare yet it never came, which was amazing.

Seriously chillas art is like crack to me

I haven't finished my playthrough yet but when he goes around the building to try follow the person he misses (I think) a crack in an open door, maybe with something he could view behind through the crack?

Chilla's common tactic is using red herrings to conceal their actual antagonists. Manly mentioned it at some point during the video. My guess of the dude who went through her trash is one of those people that wants things like tin cans and paper egg cartons, because that's an actual common thing in my country. They either resell those or melt the cans and make them into boat/car models.

@@theotv5522 that’s interesting I wouldnt have thought of that o:

fr whole family CRAZY

The dad did NOT come back with the milk it seems 💀

Yeah I would have loved a ghost being involved in this history as well. Or maybe... there was supposed to be one but nobody is talking about it?

What's Oshi?

@@EngineerMonkey-zp3yj Idol/Star.

@@MICHAELTUMANGDAY Thanks!

There was a female streamer in America that had a follower who traveled across America just to torch her car. Also, the streamer/Ytber plays a huge role in cultivating their fanbase. For example, if you're a cynical and deranged like Pyrocynical, then you get fans who will bully you into oblivion; but if you act mature and openly states you want your fanabse to act mature as well (JohnWolfe for example), then your fans will not act like the former, and any attempts to do so will be quickly shut down by the majority. I haven't watched Kagura Mea so I don't know what fans she cultivates but the wiki shows she tends to rage and swears when she's playing, so that can be why her fans acted like that.

So are they backers or just Easter eggs? Really curious.

@@theotv5522 I'm not too sure, probably a mix of both

I figure some like Selen they at least had to have gotten permission for.

Manly does so much better of a job that I'll usually wait for his video to come out even if others upload before him.

Yeah it's great that he doesn't play up the scares like the majority of horror let's play. Those people are insufferable with their forced screaming and yelling.

@@jackskelington7377Either forced or legit fear, but Manly have grown thick skin for loud jumpscares that his bar for a scare is really high. That’s why he never screams. Also in other comments he said he only play games that others have already played and upload to RU-vid so you can say he somewhat know the scares beforehand.

Do people really do that? Dropping their trash on their neighbour's door? I mean I can understand if their bin is full and they put it in their neighbour's bin, but come on, on the doorstep?

Hot take: You aren't afraid of being alone in the dark. You are afraid of NOT being alone in the dark.

Damn it, I've been found out. Harold, get the ground drill! We're going deeper.

Or Kureji Ollie for that matter, nice surprise to see them being different coffee roasts

same 😭

Selen is certainly good at roasting

Spoiler, I’m assuming you haven’t seen the entire playthrough: The police officer outside her house isn’t an actual police officer, he’s an accomplice of the stalker, meant to lull her into false security and also make sure she didn’t talk to the real police.

Yeah i did not finish it at the time of writing that comment. But my point still mostly stands, it kinda starts to really grind my gears how oblivious and dumb horror protagonist tend to be in recent movies and games. I can only tolerate a certain amount of idiocity until it becomes too much. @@synarthrose

@@derzeldagamer7931 Couldn't agree more there. I'm also confused as to why would that fake cop advise her to come to the station, only to redirect her out of it once she actually goes there.

I mean, all she did was sped up their process, but they were already determine with this plan from the get go. The boyfriend knew she was Nina, but to widen the suspects, he made everyone realize who Nina was to lower less suspicion for himself. She was already a fly in their Web, but she could still not be stupid.

@@derzeldagamer7931 oh I agree with you there. I know that a protagonist needs a certain level of stupidity in order to keep the game going and not just end the plot instantly, but there’s a delicate balance between keeping the plot interesting and making the protagonist so stupid that it’s annoyingly unrealistic
