Wire Lips - An Actually Spooky Horror Game, Manly Let's Play [ 1 ] 

Good news: You don't have the ability to run. So nothing chasing you. Bad news: You don't have the ability to run

The art style makes me think it's a MMD character in an animated music video.

She said she always rolls an 18 when throwing the dice, that means she gets 6,6,6

Now if Manly says a game is ACTUALLY scary, you better believe it. I swear, in all the horror games he's played, almost nothing phases him.

"Now you might see me wandering aimlessly looking lost, BUT I'm actually looking for something.I swear." Said like a true lost manly-man.

yeah, the apartment she lives in looks very russian, the people on the computer, her appearance... i've been suspecting i smelled my people behind this anime facade.

When a dude who talks over horror games like he's giving a boring lecture says something is spooky, you know you're in for a ride.

A horror game where the ghosts replenishes your house with new furniture and carpet. The objective is to catch them working.

I just want to say... i appreciate the devs actually putting in "mirror physics" into the game. All these high end AAA games and they always break/smudge/etc the mirrors in games...but this one? Fully functioning Mirror...it makes me happy.

"I need to message my friend" No bro you need to grab your purse and get out of the house

Manly’s consistent intro line has a certain reassurance note in it that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy every time i hear it

You can tell the creator didnt want you brushing over the character model so making it 3rd person was a great move. The added detail where the character gets startled and has a constant look of anxiety makes it enjoyable to look at your character expressing how she feels without a single sound coming from her mouth This feels much better then the usual first person jump scare in your face ones,this lets you explore and interact with things and still constantly watching your surroundings

My theory: she's a character in a sims game. Player just didn't settle on the house look yet.

19:42 Manly's reaction scared me more than the actual jumpscare 😂

Ngl Manly genuinely getting scared by a horror game is adorable but rare. Watching this vid was a treat.

22:47 Manly: Oh you want to go there **Door unexpectedly open** (instant regret)

"What are you...Mickey Mouse?!" All my tension just gone instantly.. 😅

19:42 First time I hear manly scream louder than usual

fun fact, if you're ever in a situation like this, point the light at the ceiling, and it will light up the room better than a more intense directional light beam.

I didn't see anything in the mirror at first, so when Manly screamed I was like "Ha, good one-" And then he did a turnaround and checked again and I was like "ha waIT WTF IS THAT-" I've never really seen a game do that- That's really amazing.

I swear she has like, perpetual worried face.

When he got spooked from the mirror, I didn't see anything so him getting spooked confused me.

**sees protagonist** Aw, she's adorable!! ... ...She's going to die horribly, isn't she? D:

Loved when he looked to the "You are the best" photos for motivation 😂😂

The scariest part was that Manly didn't get to finish making tea *oh, the horror*

The movements in this game are so fluid and fine, it's so weird to see an anime character look-alike move so fluidly in 3d without any sort of weird frame glitch, it's honestly making my head hurt a little when I look at the surroundings and their so pristine and so is the chracter but her face is just straight up an anime girl

Featuring my favourite video game character, 2B pencil

I really like the style of this game. It's a weird blend of anime/realistic that makes an eerie contrast when mixed together.

30:37 "...Demon, where's the door hole?" "It's right there, I drew it in magic marker" "You were supposed to cut it out with the power saw!" "I'm gonna!" "Oh really?" "Yes!" "So go get the power saw." "Okay, I will." "...I see the problem." "Oh, DO YA?!"

This game won me on so many levels. It gives you a cute character, and has a nice atmospheric style of horror that, while having jump scares, seems to downplay them to keep the experience smooth and flowing. Plus, I love games that have detailed environment designs. The apartment is such a small space, but they made sure to have enough little details to keep it interesting. I'm gonna finish watching the full playthrough, but I'm buying this and saving for a rainy day somewhere down the line. Well... ANOTHER rainy day. lol

_Creepy_ The atmosphere is great along with the glimpses of the 'creature' & our main character is pretty. I'm gonna assume the creature is her fear/inner anguish - or maybe someone conjured up or stumbled across something they shouldn't have. Lots of rabbit/moon symbolism which has no meaning yet, but hopefully will. I appreciate a slow burn of plot building up to something - I hope there actually will be a plot.

the problem with mmd style anime models is the fact that the eyes are actually hollow and will appear to look at you when in its default position.

i’m just glad they didn’t really use obnoxious horror music they just used room tone and went from there

Gotta say, the anime style character are used pretty well in this game And damn that headache effect is pretty damn good, I can relate to it. Also is that Eternal Darkness reference you were bring up?

Who needs sleep when you can watch a new spoopy game at 1:30 in the morning?

Manly: “Mickey Mouse with long limbs” *Cartoon Cat wants to know your location*

Nobody: Not a soul: Manly: *s e c r e t*

Manlybadasshero's voice is ASMR for me to get to sleep

That genuine "UH!" Both scared me and then made me laugh. It's so great when a horror game lets you look for the scares and then delivers in a subtle but effective way when you do.

"Do I need to know the number of chains, photos, and dolls?" Hey game! No backseat gaming! That's puzzle spoilers.

me: (watching this on laptop while using my phone one-handed) scary shit: starts happening me: .... *(holds phone with both hands)*

19:41-19:42 the fact that manly usually acts dead inside and not afraid of much things makes me laugh that he actually sounded so scared to me

It's never super roided up dudes in these horror games. I wanna see a jacked 300lb musclehead scream at a ghost about how he wants to see if ectoplasm has a high protein content.

The game is well made. I have to admit, when I first saw the character, it lowered my expectations a lot, she's too adorable for a horror game, and an anime model didn't really seem to fit into the spookiness of it all. But as things began to happen, and her expression shifted to fear with every event, and the way she turns her eyes and face with the camera, I couldn't help but actually feel worried about her, they really made an incredible job making her feel like an actual person, and not just a 3d model in a game. By the end of the video I felt committed to this character, and though I fully expect her to have a bad ending, part of me wished she got away safely. That last part is not something many horror videogames achieve for me.

The gameplay on this is kind of nauseating. Maybe it’s the motion blur when the camera moves.

30:55 you can see eyes in the dark, this game gives me such anxiety jesus Christ

While the scare factor is good I really hate this camera, it's way too close to the protagonist and feels claustrophobic. And not in a good way where it enhances the horror its in an annoying way where she takes up most of the screen and it doesn't look fun to control at all :/ Over the shoulder camera's can be great for horror but its gotta be implemented well.

19:00 It was connected to Death Stranding, god damn it Kojima!!

It might be combination from her guilt and the real ghost to make this happens. It's weird that they make sure that she has to put that skull item into fixed place, like it can be summoned in place. and with story, they have thrown so far. It has something to do with betrayal and such.

It’s a good horror game because of this 19:42

I was going to comment about how disturbing the intro screen was but Manly addressed it like 2 minutes into the video haha The character avatar is a little too cutesy for my taste, although I do like her design. The proportions just make her look a little awkward to me. Cool game, can't wait to see more.

This is one of those situations where you consider investing in a queen-sized bed so you can hide under it when the next spoop happens tbh

You have to wonder if this game is about Carbon Monoxide poisoning, i mean, halucinations, dizziness the whole shebam. Pretty good looking game too..!

Congrats manly ur videos have successfully made me into a night owl

39:12 lets take a moment to admire that jumpscare and his reaction

Amateur photographer? If this plays like fatal frame I am so game. Can't wait to watch this tomorrow

The mirror segment from about 19:30 to 20:00 legit spooked the shit out of me. Can't believe something that has been done so many times before managed to send chills up my spine, but the presentation of the scare is so good and subtle. It takes a while for you to even notice the eyes in the mirror... Not to mention, manly's jump there was priceless

Damn ad in middle of video jumpscared me

Manly screamed! It's so rare he actually startled me!

Is it just me that thinks the layout of this apartment is really weird? Like the bedroom joins to both the living room and kitchen, but those two don't?

I liked it, had very spooky claustrophobic atmosphere and the ghost didn’t reveal itself to early.

_But what does the Bun Bun mean?_ This looks really good so far. I really like the character model. Very cute, anime and expressive. Spooky mirror scares tho

This was a really well-done game, it made me question if the girl was dealing with the death of her friend on top of a mental illness like schizophrenia since some of the stuff she did had similarities to someone who has the condition, such as when she checks the door to see if it's locked. overall I loved this let's play!

"Just saw a crazy "person" in my house, quick, got to call mom! police? what police?"

Manly: Manly is my first name Wire Lips Dev: I don't think so

MMMmmm spooky at 1 in the morning love that

Do I go to it, or ignore it and hope it goes home?” 🤣 That really got me hah. Legit how I feel whenever my friends turn up.

gotta wonder how significantly the spookiness would've dropped if manly opted to say _bun bun_ every single time a rabbit motif entered the frame-

19:43 You can tell a game is terrifying when MANLY HIMSELF lets out a noise of complete TERROR

I’ve been trying to watch this for three days but your voice keeps making me sleep. 😔

Eugh. This is my second attempt watching this. Is anyone else getting nauseous? It's like I'm carsick.

19:40 Maybe it's just my monitor, but I've watched this bit over and over, and I can't see whatever it is Manly yells about. Can someone help me out here?

19:39 wow I don't think I've seen Manly get scared like that before. This is legitimately scary.

The camera angle is really messing with me for this one. XO The character design is beautiful though!

What bathroom has a toilet in the CORNER??

Ooh a spooky game, kinda remind me like a mixture of fatal frame/ Ju-on

" An Actually Spooky Horror Game " *from Manly* *sweat*

The doorknob: ✌️

I did it! It took more than a year, but I've finally managed to watch it through the end without falling asleep! There'd better be a point to all of this.

Oh boy this is gonna be good if it's made by the creators of umfend

Me: *sees player character* She's cute.... 😃 Manly: We're doll-like and cutesy...Kinda out of place for a horror game... 😕 Me: *jokes* It's a horror game about an anime-like MMD photographer lol 😶 *later* Manly: Are we the rabbit? 🐇 Me: Yes. A rabbit that's about to be murdered horribly 😀 Also am I the only one who's bother by the open washer in the bathroom? Like who leaves their washer/dryer partially open like that? 😒😯

Damn the scream of the thing in the mirror made me laugh cause he kinda looked at it for a second before screaming

God i need to sleep but im addicted to your videos

19:43 Never before have i heard Manly scream..... Surprise, sure, but no, that was actual fear And with the oldest trick of the mirror shadow? Thats how you know you nailed atmosphere

This really narrow behind the shoulder perspective serves this game _really_ well.

Hearing manly actually gasp and make a reaction really made me nervous

Only 20 seconds into my first video and I already subscribed because that voice alone is worth it

This game is so good! I just wish the main character emoted more. "Aaaahhhh! A Lovecraftian demon that might've had something to do with my missing friend trapped me in shadowy nightmare realm with a giant bleeding cube and an even bigger disembodied hand that could crush me at any instant! Now's the perfect time to look mildly sad!" Like at the very least they could've given her a scared face.

Loving the game's art style. Title screen is definitely unsettling. And gotta love the main girl's design/

So many mirrors in this game! They are a MAJOR PAIN to make, especially well optimized ones.

This is such an amazing step up from Umfend.

Can't handle this. I might wuss out. I made it through the video. But I jumped a few times

I've never heard Manly get scared ir jump at something but it sounds both adorable and like someone's getting strangled

Relatable. We all have that one friend who's actually a squirrel.

This is my vote for Spooked Manly supremacy. Spooked Manly is one of my new favourite things.

19:43 manly getting scared? This game is truly frightening.

came here from nesfatelp she is a german youtuber and she said we should watch your lets play of wired lips aswell ^^ greetings

it's 2am which is a perfect time to watch this, ik seriously wasn't expecting to be so freaked out by this, since outlast barely freaked me out it's all good tho bc i have a puppy with me:)

19:40 made me jump so high because i wasn't expecting him to get spooked 😂

I was already worried about the title... Game goes on for a while, but nothing spooky is happening so i'm constantly in the "any moment now" mood and then... i get a skype call... Boy that sudden loud noise scared the crap out of me.
