The Closing Shift - A Man Is Watching You Work i see you He Wants You / Chilla's Art 

Welcome to the Opening Comment Club, how Opening Comment are ya?

41:23 The passenger glitching out after manly states he's just a normal guy is peak comedic timing.

"The closing shift" everyone's nightmare. Actually showing up to your job at night

So, this man gets a brick (larger looking than usual, too) dropped on his head from a story up and somehow survives. Then, he somehow manages to not only get himself up, but also hide the detective's body AND clean the snow soaked in his blood so well that the police suspect _nothing._ THEN drag his concussioned-ass all the way back to where she lives and play ring-around-the-rosie, so he can jump her from the closet. Guy is absolutely cracked.

When the passenger turned around at 41:39, I realized that he wasn't looking at YOU but at the stalker who was behind you the entire time. That just made it so much creepier.

I really appreciate how the customers chat to you, and with each other, even when it's not advancing the story. Makes it feel more real, and gives a sense of being set a larger world.

Remind me of the time when I was helping a friend at their work. Around the closing time a man was trying to enter through the front and asking to be let in because "he left something" and when we said we will find it for him then he started making more excuses like he needed to talk about something in private and that he needs help but won't tell us what. Then we threatened to call the police which made him really aggressive and started shouting then proceeded to run away when the police came. He got caught after few days because apparently he had been stalking my friend for some weeks even before he had tried to enter the shop. The most unsettling part to me is the fact that he has a daughter who is the same age as my friend. Like how can he do this to another person. She is someone's daughter too. How would he feel if his daughter went through similar thing. And God knows what he wanted to do with her

This game is absolutely wild. As a former Starbucks employee, not only are the procedures in this game generally *accurate* to how Starbucks does things (yes, even down to the throwing away of day-old pastries), but one of my old coworkers actually did end up being stalked by a customer. He would leave her creepy poetry, and refused to believe that she had been the one to call security on him many multiple times over. He would even come and watch her from the other side of the plaza, and ended up getting a job at the strip mall across the street from ours to be close to her. Of course, the real world story ended with her transferring to another store in a different district 45 minutes away, but even so, I think we all wished we could have dropped a brick on that guy's head...

Both endings are equally disturbing, damn...

What's especially scary is that what that detective told her is true. Often times when it comes to stalking cases, whether it be in Japan or anywhere else, police never take them seriously enough because they have to "wait until something happens" but that normally ends up costing the victim their life. So seeing both of those endings play out the way they do is often a very grim reality that a lot of people, especially women, face.

I used to work at a hotel and got put on midnight shift all the time. I used to think I was getting stalked by a patron. But no, the footsteps following me to the car were my shift manager. And he continued to stalk me until I moved. So this game hit home for me; having a stalker is fucking terrifying.

Its actually impressive how he finds this many good games

the parts where something suspicious happens and manly slowly turns around expecting a jumpscare 😭

damn, chilla's art games are so good. feel bad about this poor protag tho, like she did everything as well as she could AND STILL... being a part-timer truly doesn't pay off lmao

side note but the kid at 11:57 has such good friends. if im eating ur eating fr

I've had a couple standout creeps when I worked at a movie theater. One of them truly came off as one you would suspect to lock you up in a basement. He creeped on lots of the girls there and most were underaged. Thankfully management stepped up and he was banned from coming in ever again. The other one was much more personal to me. I was waiting outside my apartment for my Uber to work. He lived in the same building and he came out to leave somwhere himself. He stopped and chatted with me for the whole duration of my wait (which was too long given the circumstance). Started normal and then he started getting weird and mentioning things like, "a good girl like you should come over and cook for me," and, "I know I'm much older than you but hey, maybe I'll get lucky," and so on. Mind you, I wasn't THAT young (like late 20s) but he was DEFINITELY twice my age or more. Anyhow, everytime he'd see me he'd try and chat but I of course would turn him down and move along. Well, one night he comes into my workplace. Wouldn't have been weird since it's a theater, except that he mentioned how he'd never been there before and came out hoping I'd be there. I never told him where I worked. I was as polite as i could be though, keeping chat short and sending him on his way to his movie. Immediately called over a couple coworker friends, one being a manager and the other being security. Told them about the guy while he was still in line for popcorn, gave them a copy of his receipt and movie ticket just in case they needed to call cops on him for any reason. After he was out of sight, they let me go home early so he wouldn't see me at all. Sure enough, he came back out trying to find me and management and security confronted him. I spoke to my roommate about the guy and all that happened and he went to the apartment office about him. Soon enough he wasn't living there anymore. Dunno if he left by his own choice or was evicted but boy was I glad. It sucked trying to dodge him everyday. I'm just extremely grateful that people around me took it seriously. I know that isn't always the case for some. F'ing creeps man...

What I noticed: -Everyone is swag walking -Stalking is a serious issue in japan -the investigator died.. I guess it's safe to call him "dead-tective" -Manly played another food themed game..Bakery to a Diner.. Get it? also isn't the stalker the very first person you meet near the apartment?

*sees shady man standing outside* "I'm gonna go confront them" Ah yes, the logical response for a woman working a closing shift alone at night

I once worked at subway and my boss expected me to close at 10 at night. I was a minor and would be alone in the store, and I was an hour away from home. So one night as I’m closing a guy comes in uses the bathroom and looks right at me while he leaves. He paces by his car which is in front of the store but far away from the light that I can’t see his expression. He ended up leaving since I called my ride. I got home safe but it was very scary.

As a former Starbucks employee I can 100% confirm, this is the most accurate simulation you can find online.

Y’know, one of the final stages of hypothermia is the sensation that you’re overheating, to the point of taking your clothes off. So I’m pretty sure that Mametaro guy is fucking dead now. (Honestly though it would be hilarious if he was the ghost that guy mentioned)

58:15 The baby stroller is empty, and the women was sniffing/crying Im guessing that the stalker saw how the women treat you at the start and then he decided to kidnap/kill the baby etc : 0

I've been stalked by both guys, and girls (yes girls can be stalkers too), and sadly these kinds of people WILL take advantage of benevolence, and empathy. One way to deter them is to just be a dick/bitch, these kinds of people will make you choose between your reputation, and your livelihood, don't let them push you. That's why they almost always go for teens and early 20s (since they still care about what others think), be mean, make it as unpleasant as possible for them to be around you once they refuse "no" as an answer. If they hit you with the "I was just being friendly" you counter with "I have enough friends". If they still persist even after all that, just outright call the cops (but don't say you'll do it, otherwise they'll run away, you want the officers to know what they look like), you'll never see them again once a cop or two know what they look like, and at least one of the vehicles they drive.

As a Starbucks employee having ppl watch wait for you to leave and try to follow you home is incredibly common

Manly being weird about the guy who ordered just a plain ol' milk reminded me of the time I just ordered a milk at a starbucks and they fucked up my order

I keep getting heart attacks everytime Manly decides to investigate outdoors after cleaning up, I'd stay inside, close the cafe early and hide under the counter (　ﾟдﾟ)

The way the characters phase through the doors before they're even opened always gets me.

Man, chillia's art game always give a peaceful vibe at the start making Player forget that this game is horror game and then boom, jump scare out of nowhere. That woman with a baby almost give me a heart attack.

That stripping customer is my favourite fictional person in the world

Man, I worked as a barista at a popular downtown cafe and desserts place a couple years back and it was honestly fun to make the drinks… but it could get scary sometimes. This place was open til midnight since it was downtown and a big date spot, which meant a lot of drunk people would come by. Like 95% of the time they were harmless, but I was always scared leaving my shift at 12:30am-1am to go catch my bus. I got harassed so many times. And then one night, 3 dudes were super drunk and just starting BANGING their hands on the cafe’s glass door. I was terrified and ended up crying and hiding behind the counter. I quit after, and worked at a Starbucks in a MUCH safer spot. Anyway, this game just reminded me of that time of my life in a weird way. I did like being a barista though. Making the drinks becomes second nature and is honestly relaxing, as long as customers aren’t too rowdy. Just stay safe and remember that your job is never worth more than your safety and life!

"Um... Would you like to order anything...?" Shoya: "Hmm... Your heart!" Manly: "Sorry that's been missing for a while." *bruh*

Yup. As a former Starbucks barista, I had my fair share of creepers and lots of people coming in late at night for coffee. WHO WERE REALLY MESSY. Accurate so far, lmfao.

chilla's art games always hit differently, im not ready

Also Manly would do amazing in a retail store, he's hating people, groaning when customers are coming in and he curses people out as soon as they are out of earshot

The true horror is those four guys going back and forth while ordering.

I work at a gas station and honestly the worst part of it is being hit on and when you politely decline, some insist. It makes things super uncomfortable real quick.

I love how they casually walk into the shop but then yeet at the speed of light in the car

considering how (unfortunately) common it is for customers to stalk workers and approach them during their shifts/when they leave, i'm not too surprised already at some of the stories popping up in the comments, and i'm interested to see more as this video gets older

11:58 "hello uh... the beatles" im sorry i laughed so hard 😭

I really like the idea of making societal issues into video game prompts. It can help people understand someone else's experiences.

Worked barista for three years. The men that come in don't always understand that you're getting paid to smile at them. You get some real strange ppl that's for sure.

I feel like this guy scares his sleep paralysis demons.

I imagine that ONE parking spot every customer uses and obliterates with instant acceleration torque is probably super run down and full of ruts and broken cement while the rest of the lot is pristine and smooth as the week it was poured.

As a former Barista, nobody is mentioning the most realistic part of this simulator (besides the stalkers, very real). Which is getting annoyed at customers bc they keep going on talking amongst themselves like they're in a comedy sketch instead of just ordering their drinks already

Waiting for Chilla's Art to just make a "Doing Mundane Thing" game, no horror or anything, just going about your daily job. The true subversion of expectations.

What makes this scary is imagine how many people are stalked, especially women, daily and don't manage to get away, call the police, relatives believe them, or have any support.

Damn, I was incredibly underwhelmed by that ending, wanted to see the fucking stalker dead

i need a chilla’s art game of working the nightshift at a warehouse, shit feels like you’re in another dimension

Manly being overwhelmed by the group order from the asian beetles is exactly how it feels lol

Biggest question in his channel isn't the lore of the games it's HOW THE HELL DOES HE FIND GOOD GAMES

This guy really deserves his name. I can’t play any horror game. I’m too much of a chicken. Yet this guy does it like he’s eating cereal. A gross eldritch cereal.

The woman popping out actually scared me

Shoya: "Hmmm ... Your heart" Manly: "Sorry, that's been missing for a while" 😂😂😂 Me" "I'm not into organ harvesting " 🤣🤣🤣

i love being on my car! you get a much better breeze than turning down the window .

When he made any espresso "latte" as a misto my barista heart flipped 😂

really glad chilla's figured out how to make characters walk at a more normal pace. I enjoy most his games but the incredibly slow walking has always been a problem with me.

At around 27:48 when Manly is cleaning the tables you can see the door to the back swing shut

Chilla's art at it again with it's vengeance against part-timers

oh lord, I usually don't get freaked out by these games but with this I had chills all the way through. It was so realistic, plus the art style is so creepy, such a good experience

1:03:00 "It's closed sir, it's closed, see the sign? can't get in here. Beep beep, scanned. " Swear to God, I love this man.

i worked as barista before, i can confirm this is unacurate, you only truly have like 20 seconds to finish a coffee order before the customers short fuse starts blowing up

Ironically back in college working a crappy customer service call center job for 'a coffee shop company' i received a phone call from a customer complaining that he got kicked out of the store. Kicked out for taking pictures of the female baristas who were incredibly uncomfortable with this dirty old man. He claimed he deleted them right away but just liked to take pictures of the girls. Freaking. Yikes. to that call.

Its funny how most of chilla's arts games are focused on horror and jobs. It really says something about working...

#1 lesson from all Chilla's Art games: don't work night shift.

The real horror is working in the food industry and having a customer stalk you. **edit** All I started to scream near the end was “Damnit Manly, pick up the phone so you can call the cops while you escape?!” “Why aren’t you grabbing your phone??” And then I realized, Manly probably never has been in that type of situation before. :’) ** Story time: I had a customer do this once, I talked to him just like any other person and he started showing up around the same day and time- didn’t think anything of it until he started to face me at the corner table and watched me work. It took another employee/friend of mine who showed up on a day off and I hugged him and said my hellos- the stalker customer was there and left promptly after. Never saw him again. Still gives me the creeps.

I think these games are often playing as "Wagees" for 3 reasons. 1) They're overlooked and not respected. Highly likely to be ignored if they mention an issue, and the first step to abuse is isolation. Their isolation makes them a target that can't acquire help. 2) They're trapped in their situation because they don't have the expendable income to just quit on the spot and go elsewhere. Their desperation makes them a target that can't flee. 3) They don't have any command or power. They can't delegate, change the rules, or have any sort of change over their situation. Their powerlessness makes them a target that can't fight back. I personally like it. One reason because games like that are kinda fun (barista, pizza maker, burger flipper, etc) and two because I feel that fear. The question of "Is this something I should actually flee over or am I just going to look like an idiot to my manager and get fired tomorrow?". I used to work as the sole call-center girl making $3 less than industry standard (that was after 3 raises). I had an "office" but it had no windows and was in the center of the building so if power went out, it was pitch black. Even scarier is my manager refused to allow me to keep a weapon with me and I was left alone at the end of the day at least an hour, and I wasn't allowed to lock my office door or the outer doors front or back. I remember being the only person in the building that evening, I heard someone enter the building but didn't come speak to me, I sat perfectly still and silent as they opened up every door in the office one by one, and then the power went out. I was so scared I ran to the front door but couldn't decide whether I was over-reacting or not, so I stayed there for awhile without actually leaving. One of the worst feelings to not be able to leave but you can but you can't. Power came back and I went to my office and locked the door. At end of shift, I did a quick sweep of the building to lock all the doors and I was GONE. Next day my manager talked to me like I was stupid and shamed me for locking my office door. I quit a few months later because they asked me to run a scam and I refused. Haven't found another office job since in my tiny factory town, so I started my own business instead. Onwards and upwards, boys. Anyway, long story short, this kind of pressure based horror, I completely get it. It's legit. And it will always target the "Wagees". I know this might be obvious. I've just heard manly comment on it a few different times so maybe those in the comments who don't understand, can.

_Perfect horror setup working closing_ I never had to do that. I think the Twin Peaks diner seemed so much easier. Coffee. Pie. Done. :D This game made you feel very vulnerable because of all those windows. They made you so easy to be looked at. Then all the weird ways in - from the roof, the back door, and only the CLOSED sign between you and him. You can tell MBH approaches a stalker like a man would tho. Like the confrontation on the bus , he went right up to the bus to look at the guy and stare him down. The comedic portions of the game were so weird and customers' dialogues were so bizarre that they actually enforced the nervousness instead of reducing it. And I thank MBH again for his editing of the coffee making - it focused the video on the tension. The game was pretty good.

The ending teaches a valuable lesson: *Always double tap.*

I have been enamoured with Chilla's Art games for a long time now. They do something unique, especially with the atmosphere and sound design. Love it.

As someone who has worked at a cafe, people have acutally ordered milk and steamed milk. It was the easiest order.

Perhaps the most terrifying thing about this game is that they somehow recorded FIRST PERSON training videos. Ocular camera implants mandatory...scary world.

oh boy it's 2am! time to watch this playthrough of a game about a cafe closing shift instead of getting some sleep before my cafe opening shift that starts in three hours!! ☕ edit: finished the video! I only work opening shifts now (which can be just as spooky bc cafes open early and often times it's basically still night out when we arrive), but I've done closing shifts before and the weird and creepy customers in this game are pretty accurate. Except, I find that the customers who hit on the baristas don't just give up like that, lol. No, instead they linger around at the food/drink hand-off plane, forcing you to keep being polite and talking to them even though you're clearly busy and uninterested in them and in the middle of trying to make other people's drinks or get closing tasks done 😬 Like, dude, if I didn't give you my number the first time you asked, I'm *definitely* not gonna give it to you if you're the kind of person who thinks it's okay to keep harassing me for it, smh. Thankfully at starbs we're required to always have at least two employees on the premises (it's for liability reasons, but I'm not sure if this rule applies to all locations), and closers leave the store at the same time, together. If you only see one barista behind the counter, the other is probably in the back taking care of stuff while keeping an ear out for any trouble. My shift supervisors suddenly emerging from the back room have saved me from a lot of creeps over the years lol

1:07:32 says 女子中学生が行方不明 (tl. missing middle/junior high school female student), which is likely a reference to another Chilla's Art game Missing Children. Pretty cool.

Manly: "messed with graphic settings, should be easier on your eyes" Game: a literal laser light show on every possible reflective surface and probably some surfaces that aren't meant to be reflective hahaha :D ♪

man she fought so hard i wanted her to make it

I love how everybody is as fast as Sonic in this game.

the customers in this game really be driving like they've just robbed a bank lmao

Not gunna lie. Im watching this at 4:30 am my time... and the 'Hello there..... The Beetles' got me good. I laughed so loud my son woke up and complained.

The most terrifying part of the game is the realization that MC's apartment is the size of my bathroom.

People want coffee so much they break the speed and physics limit to get it apparently!

Oh yes, shift in the store. Apart from occasional junkies, scammers, hobos and lost hikers, its all the same. Even the stalking part is correct.

Puppet combo and chilla’s art will always be my favourites of horror

Chilla's and puppet combo should do a collaboration imagine how awesome that would be.

If this is a game without horror aspects, I'd play for the coffee making mechanics! This, and Happy Humble Burgers Farm, make the 'jobs' feel fun to play, and if they're part-time jobs in slice-of-life open world games where you can earn money from working there to supplement your expenses through school or something, I'd be more than happy to work until closing time 😂

So far, the real horror of this game is trying to remember all these stupid Not-Starbucks drink orders. ---- A pretty eerie, very "real" horror that could happen to anyone. I don't work at a cafe, but I do sometimes work the closing shift at the grocery store, and I sometimes worry about what's gonna happen to me on my way home.

Thank you for thinking of us and brightening the vid. I’ve been so disappointed so many times by play throughs of horror games where I couldn’t see a dang thing 😩 Even a lot of big creators don’t think about how YT darkens it even more so we’re left with just black screens with vague outlines. Thank you Manly ❤️

i feel like there's a third ending where you don't forget to grab your phone from the locker before bricking the guy...i mean...Manly didn't grab the phone (that we saw..). I also have to wonder....does the story change if you DON'T pick up the stalker's phone? The mind boggles...

How does this man have a chill voice and is almost so chil as well at any horror games he plays / played

Was expecting the final ending to just be her answering the phone and getting some sort of remorseful but still creepy message from the stalker. Seemed like they were determined to make this ending a downer though. The second person pov shots were well done and creepy.

omg....i think whoever made this game actually works at a starbucks. all these routines are spot on and it's set up like a real location, i could personally walk in there and operate this shop w/ my current training (the shady man doesn't happen all that often thankfully)

I just woke up from a nightmare about a guy standing outside my house for two hours waiting to kidnap me. So absolutely not happy to see this 😁 edit: please stop you are all freaking me the fuck out

I love how the Beatles just waltz in asking for coffee

I had an older man( my dad's age) stalk me at my work place. He would often come in and just tried talking to me without buying anything. At one point he catches me at my lunch break in a market and he wouldn't go away unless I gave him my phone number. I felt pressured and uncomfortable so I did it. He called and texted me a lot but I didn't answer. He wasn't inappropriate. But I still wasn't interested. He then came to my workplace to confront me. Was very angry on why I wasn't replying. I lied that I had a bf and to stop talking to me. My coworker said that he's a creep and he should leave me alone. Few times after that he came in but he just watched me from a far, without buying anything. Just staring. Another time this guy in early 20s was just creepy to whole team of our girls. We work in make up store. Guy applied many times for the job. Even asked if we had free spots. We where creeped out. He didn't look like a guy who's into make up, which would be fine, we had few working in the past. He then would come in few times a day just to stare at girls. Sometimes leaving chocolate and other sweets at the register. Just so creepy.

The real horror - almost none of the customers said thank you

54:50 I laugh every time I hear Manly say "WHERE'D MY CAR GO?!" for some reason and I don't know why.

God Bless dem bois at Chilla's Art for providing the community so much content!

I’m becoming more and more addicted to your videos…

So I just have to say something that freaked me out. It still does now. So I was normally watching this video as you all do. Though when Manly said "Oh great the power went out." Around 2 seconds later the whole dang power is out in my house. I know it was pure coincidence but that was geniuely scary.

These work-horror games are developing. I like how the two new customers at 33:37 show up as a distraction from the schoolgirls. If you do your job, you overhear and oversee just enough to keep it creepy. It's a smoother distraction than simply slamming a door shut on the player.
