"Don't leave Jealous Eggs around, or else one of them will hatch into a dragon and eat you"
- Manly 2017
I actually find this life teaching in a sence
Mavis Valventini and then after that, he said "quite literally"
Night Ranger yep
So, the plot of the game was this:
Detention takes place during the "White Terror" around 1960s Taiwan. At this time, paranoia was widespread and people were imprisoned/executed on the suspicion that they were communists spies. Miss Yin and Wei organized a secret book club to share knowledge on banned books considered "communist propanganda."
Ray's home life was collapsing because of her father's love affair and then she got counseling from Mr. Chang. She grew to like her counselor, but was jealous because she thought Ms Yin and Mr.Chang ere in a relationship. This caused her to rat out the book club which got Wei imprisoned. Yin got imprioned and Chang was presumely executed because he was also in the book club
Ray committed suicide due to guilt and the whole game is basically about her traveling in purgatory and reliving the guilt and bad memories.
mr chang was the one supplying the banned books
@@alexanderwalker5473 Ya along with Ms Yin. In one of the endings he says that too that there’s no way to fully escape
Now that Detention is over I escape quietly out the back door.
+ManlyBadassHero
24 hours is not enough to escape detection.
ManlyBadassHero, i just love how you put no effort in female voice lines. It is all so funny. Lol. Now that i read this comment, i sound sad and depressed? Why?
+Chromatic & Ravenwell
Maybe it was the lol being capitalized and being followed by a period. It loses the loose, playful tone.
At 44:00 in the bad ending, the place where she hang herself, there is a picture of Thatagata Amitabha.
I think the horror elements at the beginning were meant to distract you from what is really going on. After both us (the player) and Ray started to figure out there was something else going on, the monsters stopped appearing.
I think the horror in the beginning is her journey in the world of lingering ghosts. In Buddhism there's a bunch of worlds, world of gods, underworld/hell ( and underworld itself has tons of worlds in it like world of giants, world of ghosts, etc), worlds of humans, animals, insects and the one Ray is in is the world of lingering ghosts. At the point where Ray reach a huge hall with a big statue of the judge, it is to judge if she's ready to reincarnate and that's why they showed her her past to see if she has reflected on her wrongdoings.
@@PasserbySimp the deepest loooooore
I'm caught in this odd feeling of both wanting to dislike our main character and sympathizing with her.
Lottalicious I think that's intentional. She did do something awful, but her actions were also a product of the times and her poor home environment. She's not entirely responsible but she is still one some level.
I kinda cried at the end. No wonder she is haunted by her guilt. She made a terrible mistake.
The story was definitively well written and the game gave it with symbolics, rather than telling it outright. I love this aspect of the game.
_A young girl's choices affected so many lives..._
Detention - not the hours after school, but an eternity where you are detained to relive your life & your life choices. No happy ending for Ray even in the hereafter. As her home was filled with unhappiness & rancor, she found comfort from Chang thru a brief affair. I think she became jealous of what she thought was his relationship with Ms Yin, so she sought revenge by disclosing the book club which promoted independent thought. And the rest is martial law history.
The game did a wonderful job depicting the turmoil of human emotions in a time of turmoil. The song the bells played, Going Home, could sum up the game perfectly... sweet yet sad, we're always looking for shelter in a storm, hoping to find our way.
I enjoyed the game's different simple puzzles, haunting imagery, poetic writing & very good music choices. The ghosts, folklore, & philosophy presented nicely framed the real horror of history & the girl's story.
+NaturalFlirtGamer
All the supernatural stuff makes a lot more sense in the context of Fang already being dead. Also some perspective stuff here. During that time period, Taiwan was under martial law says the game. Interesting to think people could be arrested for freedom of thought during a movement usually associated with freedom of thought.
Thelothuo Yes - her death made everything within the plot make sense. And I can’t say enough how much I appreciated the writing here vs the half-baked be-ruffled symbolism in some other games written for “ooooh, cool” effect with zero substance.
Also, I’m not sure I understand what you mean “during a movement usually associated with freedom of thought.” Without getting into the _right_ or _wrong_ of any political viewpoint, ANY time you ban individual expression in literature, art, film, or religious practice - that is oppression.
It doesn’t matter for what lofty reason it is done. It also doesn’t matter if it is done by military takeover of a government or by students on campus banning a speaker because they don’t “like” the speaker’s message. No one has to like the message - we just have to be able to hear it.
+NaturalFlirtGamer
I believe at that time- no, just checked. Got the timeframe wrong. This was before that bit, so... No, wait, right timeframe. Yeah, there it is.
The standing regime was anti-communist moving towards democracy and did not allow for political dissent. I found this ironic, as the popular impression of democracy is being tolerant to political dissent. Aye, that is oppression. The interesting bit was the means contrasting the goal. Without getting into the right/wrong of things.
+NaturalFlirtGamer
No, scratch that. The regime was the Nationalist KMT from China, not a domestic group. Er, they _were_ anti-communist moving towards a democracy. And they placed Taiwan under martial law and ironically were oppressive. Yep.
+Thelothuo Well, any government type can be oppressive. The American republic was something similar, and didn't actually offer freedom to all until after the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.
I just realized how utterly tragic Wei's life is.
*_Meets cute girl during Typhoon, talk to her and seem to hit it off_*
*_Your Hunky Teacher's already got to her first_*
*_You wind up compromising your illegal book club because she's just too cute_*
*_Get sent to prison for 15 years after Ray's betrayal, she then kills herself_*
*_Finally released and goes back to old school, Ray's ghost actually meets him_*
*_School's going to get demolished so it might be the last time he sees her_*
*_Being Wei is suffering_*
(ง⪰ʖ̯⪯)ง
F lol
she wasn't in the book club tho, when he met her he was already in the club, he didn't join for her
@@idunno3370 probably implied that she knew it through him?
That ending hit hard... but as I interpret it, the "good" end seems to imply that Fang warned the counselor and her female teacher about her snitching. That's how the female teacher managed to get out of the country. The counselor mentions something to wei about who told on them, implying he also knew, but he clearly resigned to his fate (ironic, since he was the one to inspire Fang to take control of her own fate). Fang still kills herself, but the good ending is still kind of nice because Fang earned her peace by owning up to her actions. That's how I like to see it anyway...
HJ Slaughter In one theory, everytime a bad ending occurs represent what happend to Ray before she got a good ending. It's a never ending cycle unless good ending is played.
She was lingering around for eternity since she suicide. She is forced to experience all the guilts again and again and again, until finally she accept the facts and face her guilt.
So, the two endings are not differ from what Ray did when she was alife. But, they both taken place in her after life. Therfore, the bad ending is not an ending, it's Ray trapped in repeated afterlife experiences. It will repeat for eternity unless she finally ended it with the "good ending"
This doesn't make exact sense because those prior cycles were *probably* different in small details that leak the 'truth'. For example when she 'kills' the already 'dead' Wei, he opens and closes his eyes. In this cycle, she suspects that he's alive after death. Why?
Because older Wei is wandering around the school and leaving diary notes.
This theory actually makes the bad ending sadder because of course, this is the last and best opportunity for the 'good ending' because the school is going to be demolished for construction and older Wei won't hang around - the bad ending is likely 'forever' or at least what utterly bizarre calculus buddhist/taoist hell takes to leach bad karma through suffering until she's a very comatose ghost and can reincarnate by having no desires or regrets (i've read absurd numbers like 'quintillions', priests have no chill about sinners).
But wait, there is *more* - even if she *does* talk to Wei and seeks and gets forgiveness, she still has bad karma. The other students got tortured, possibly raped, and councilor she loved got tortured and killed even if she now understood he was the only one killed and Wei forgives her offenses to him. So yeah, i suspect she might be too stubborn even then to accept the 'soup' that removes memories from that nice elderly woman that hangs around both the spirit world and real world (spoiler: she's not a normal woman: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Po )
"I miss the days when he had jokes and stories to tell."
When you realised, you never got to say goodbye to your loved ones.
_Never gonna say goodbye_
The counselor's monologue at the end was quite... moving. This game was beautiful.
The bgm in that scene definitely made me tear up
So this is what I got Ray was having a hard time dealing with her parents fighting, she eventually started letting this affect her school performance. Letting the Counselor work with Ray to help her vent and get her back on track, and this is how they started developing a relationship, which I guess was budding romantically. Until the teacher leading the book club, Ms. Yin, intervened and convinced the Counselor to break off the relationship with Ray. Ray feeling burned by Ms. Yin, ratted out to Instructor Bai, the hardliner anti-communist teache,r about the illegal book club where they read books which were about banned topics referring to communism or something along those lines, who then alerted the Military, who arrested Yin, the Counselor, Wei, and a few more involved. As a result many of those convicted were given harsh sentences such as execution or prison time, like Wei. Ray was given a public award for her actions ratting out these "Communist Collaborators", but due to her immense guilt or fear of something else, committed suicide as seen in the bad ending, and Wei is then given Amnesty for his "crimes", even though it looks like he had already served the whole time in jail, leaving him an old man as he looks in the ending, even though that wouldve just leave him around the age of mid 30s or whatever. Anyways, the ending is just him going back to the school some years later contemplating on those lost and motives gathered as to what happened.
TL;DR Books are bad, just read doujins online. Or Fuck Communism, but not your students.
*Fixed the part where I called the teacher leading the club, Ms Hui, to the correct name Ms. Yin.
Wait... Who is Ms. Hui?
Hugo Wright the female teacher, she flee out the country thus was banned but died from lung cancer and came home for burial.
+azizah izzati That's Ms. Yin.... There is no character named Ms. Hui...
Zephyretta Troia I think we are all mistaken, the counselor is the one that has Hui while the other teacher is named Yin Tsui Han. =v= (Mr Chang Ming Hui)
Zephyretta Troia no that's alright I jumped into conclusions without checking until it was too late it's a bad habit of mine.
So, if I understood it correctly:
Fang started as a very good student at home, until she started experiencing issues at home (father's drinking and infidelity, mother's sorrow). So she sought comfort in her counselor (Mr. Chang), who she became romantically interested in. During this, she met Wei, who let her in on the 'book club', fronted by My. Chang and Ms Yui.
Her mother eventually got tired of her fathers impropriety and hired a private investigator, an had him arrested and carried away. At school, she overheard Ms. Yui talking to Mr. Chang, admonishing him for being with Fang and that they were already a couple.
In jealousy, I wager she gave the book list to Inspector Bai (essentially exposing everything). Ms Yui escaped abroad, Mr. Chang was executed, and Wei tried to burn the evidence, yet was still sent to prison for 15 years, possibly more, before being released.
At some point, Fang killed herself, and tried to accept what happened. I guess Detention is an analog here for Limbo.
What You Deserve Not What You Need
Why is she an idiot? you can blame a number of people for this as it seems to be a huge butterfly effect.
If her father hadn't turned into an abusive adulterous alcoholic her grades wouldn't have suffered. if the consoler hadn't started a romantic relationship with her, if he hasn't cut her off so coldly like he had, if the teacher hadn't told him to. if she was never invited into the book club. remove any of those variables and these events may not have happened.
but it's interesting how the main players of this Domino effect was effected by it: the teacher fled but did she think of those she left behind? the counselor couldn't this time so he basically accepted execution, imprisonment and suicide.
It's her fault because she knew what would happen, knew her actions would cause others to suffer, and she did it anyway. It is unforgivable, which is why she's going through so much hell now. She did what she did out of jealousy and self-centered vengeance. Of course she was an idiot.
ichigoeater I don't think she knew exactly what would happen to everyone. maybe the teachers but not the other students. probably think the students would be spared because they were being influenced.
"The romantic between student and teacher is not allowed in the old time..." This isn't allowed, period. That's predatory and an abuse of authority. She's not worried about being ratted out, she's worried about the inappropriateness of the relationship, and that coupling with the fact they're already breaking the law with the book club.
she probably didn't think about it too much except to consider it the same as when her abusive parent was arrested (she also probably didn't expect her crush to be arrested, not to speak of being killed and tortured because she misunderstood the 'in the same boat' as a affair when it was a 'conspiracy'). As her mother says 'he'll live'. Too bad that wars between nations are treated a bit different than plebe corruption to a totalitarian regime. All hells, christian and eastern are little more than a psychotic sociological concept of revenge. I'd accept non-existence over hell anyday, for both me and evil men. That this particular hell is self-made and based on slightly inaccurate information (as supernatural entities like the judge and the old woman mention) doesn't really help.
the good ending is bitter sweet :')
Detention takes place during the "White Terror" around 1960s Taiwan. At this time, paranoia was widespread and people were imprisoned/executed on the suspicion that they were communists spies. Miss Yin and Wei organized a secret book club to share knowledge on banned books considered "communist propanganda."
Ray's home life was collapsing because of her father's love affair and then she got counseling from Mr. Chang. She grew to like her counselor, but was jealous because she thought Ms Yin and Mr.Chang ere in a relationship. This caused her to rat out the book club which got Wei and Yin imprisoned.
Ray committed suicide due to guilt and the whole game is basically about her traveling in purgatory and reliving the guilt and bad memories.
I made a mistake Wei was imprisoned. Miss Yin flee the country. and Mr. Chang was presumely executed
ProcrastinatorProductions and how about the boy in the very beginning? who is he? and is he the mas at the end toi?
The boy in the beginning was Wei (from Ray's memories) and the old man in the striped shirt in the was Wei in the present visiting the school
Ninjayoshi 765 ah you can see the explanations made by proscasinator ^^ he explains it very nicely.
Moral lesson:
Stop doing stupid things when you are jealous. It will ruin everything.
I don't think there's necessarily one single moral from this. It's more of a historical portrait showing how extraordinary times can make even the most innocent people do awful things. On one level there is the element of jealousy and resentment, but it's also a sort of warning to future generations to not become repressive and to not stifle different ideas.
Ray asked Wei if the f. teacher(Yin)and m. teacher(Chang) were an item so I suspect early on that she snitched to have Chang to herself, doesn't work out, snitches on him too.
Ray must have learned from her mother turning in the father that snitching is an easy way to "get rid" of people in her country, be they innocent or not.
One thing I'd like to note is that Fang's comment about her not liking how her mother acts, but they act like complete parallels; her mother reported the father for bribery and got him arrested after she found out he cheated on her, and fang's suspicions of ms. yin having an affair with Mr. chang led her to report the secret book club hoping that only ms. yin would be caught.
The sentence "Class dismissed" in the description got me so emtional idk why, maybe it so fits with the game atmosphere and all.
But overall, great game. Totally worth my time. Normally I'd hate to watch long videos like this, since there would be parts that was painfully long and the player usually did nothing but rambling and running around do stupid stuffs, but when it came to Manly, it just all worth the price.
I have so many feelings about this as the child of Taiwanese American immigrants. I never experienced this time in history but I heard many, many stories about it. I also had some difficult and very lonely and painful school years, so I relate a lot to Ray and her desire to lash out and hurt others as a way of expressing her frustration and sadness. Really wonderful game.
Also the Vaporwave comment killed me 😂
Was gonna start homework but decided to check Manly's channel. Consider homework forgotten.
moral of the story, don't rat out your comrades.
What You Deserve Not What You Need Oh shut up.
found the commietard
life has many doors, edboy! I lost it there. totally turned the mood from horror to humor. Props to ya, Manly.
We knew this wasn't going to end happy, but the good end is acceptable. I'm also surprised Wei survived, I figured us sacrificing him was from our guilt of hi being executed or simply dying in prison. Fang reaching some peace is a nice end, even with you predicting much of the plot. It's a good story, and at times depressingly realistic. Certainly worth the price.
Shawn Heatherly Agreed~ Similar story like this were told in different ways many times in other forms in Taiwan. A jealous girl became a snitch in that period of time, getting others into huge troubles. But, this game may be one of the best told and most popular one so far.
I think his sacrifice is sort of a metaphor on how though Ray’s goal was to hurt Chang and the other teacher, her decision ruined the lives of other people who had no part of the affair, like Wei.
I like how they tell their story very much and the visual's very pretty. good game😊
at 25:00: "When I cannot put myself together and forget everything..." "I open my eyes and welcome a barren world.."
right after commercial add: "LEEEEET THE SUNSHINE IN! LEEEET THE SUNSHINE IN"
Wtf?! xD
The producer put his name in the graffiti at the bad ending lol. It's the right one with the 我♡王光X. I don't know how to pronounce the last character lol but it means I ♡ Light Wang basically.
Roberto Lie the last two words should be pronounced wang guang :^)
halcyon daze Yup n westernised it becomes Light Wang. Family name in the back, Guang=Light so there it goes. It's one of the more literal English names adaptation(which is kinda interesting) cos most HK/Taiwan stars' westernised first name are usually made from whole cloth n doesn't follow the pronounciation/meaning of their Chinese last names.
Roberto Lie ohh i see!! I'm Malaysian Chinese and wasnt aware HK/Taiwan people westernize their names like that :^0
thank you for sharing that info with me :^)
halcyon daze the one that I couldn't pronounce was the third character of his name, thus the X
halcyon daze U're welcome n it's cool to see someone from a neighboring country here(I'm Indonesian Chinese).
*has exams but sees Manly's new video* CLICK!
Iceria Huang Hey, it's good that you're prioritizing. Which is for manly.
How do you have exams already in January lol
I honestly hope these type of comments are jokes Zion. I'd be sincerely worried if people destroyed their own future for a video they can watch at anytime. Just saying.
+Jinkuro Izuna
All in good fun. We can't tell them what to do.
-pls don't adress me by name-
So how did that exam go?
And here things unfold and at last we get to the third meaning of "detention". Very well crafted. The commentary greatly helped me work out what was going on.
The ending hit me really hard for reasons I can't quite explain.
Also, that violin in the ending credits is really nice.
Silent Hill: Taiwanese Edition
Ian Khoo What happened in this game is real.It is history of Taiwan.
I am taiwanese and this is what i think after playing the game, too.
what a typical 9.2 here. too much love for your precious KMT and couldn't even face what had they done in the past.
and if you think KMT loses their election because of this, I believe they will keep losing if they have same mindset as you have.
The ending is so poetic with him returning to exactly the place where the game started
23:23
So that's the updated sentence. Before this, Ms. Yin said something about Chang 'striking a child' which makes me think he abused/used Ray.
Apparently that was a translation error. The term they were going for was "pursuing" or something along those lines, but in the original translation it came out as "striking" instead.
Well, that first ending was quite depressing. Fuck man the other one was too.
I was actually about to sleep, but then I saw that you posted a video. So sleep is completely thrown out the window at this point.
This takes me back so long. I remember crying when I got the bad ending. I got it on purpose to know what it was like to to suffer as Ray did.
When I suffered as she did I recommended it to others. And it felt satisfying to know when others saw what occurred. And it was enlightening to know the pain she went through.
Going Home lyrics, it kinda relates to whats going on...
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
This made my night, you're awesome Manly!
Thank you so much for putting this out. It made my day. I was dying to see the end
This was ...so beautiful, and so tragically sad. I kind of need a bit of time to digest this game. thank you so much for playing it, Manly!
I really enjoyed that playthrough. Neat art style. Good job, Manly.
very beautiful game, with a bit of haunting on the side :) thanks for playing it and sharing this story with us, manly! i feel like there need to be more games that lean towards this direction of afterlife symbolism.
I just worked 13hrs today and was going to get some sleep but a Manly video was uploaded so what's another hour. Thank you Sir Manly Badass Hero😎
I love your videos Manly, I look forward to them all the time. Please keep up the great work.
I was about to go to sleep, but Manly Senpai posted! Yay!
When the bell started to play at 8:00, the song is called "Going Home"
we sang it in choir, creepy now that i hear it here.
Ah, awesome game, I actually found it relaxing, specially with your voice being so calm and smooth all the way. I really like the way you read dialogue and text and your voice seemed fit for this game particullary. What an interesting and beautifuly told story.
What an ending :') Slightly jarring to watch, considering I had a teacher called Ms. Yin too. Kudos to the creators for making such a good game!
The music for the credits is nicely done; good and creepy, what a horror game needs. :) And the good ending song is sad yet lovely. :)
Manly 43:36 : I understand it all now ; Still me : WTF is going on??
Good game!
Nice atmosphere and history bits
Yay I've been waiting this upload
why upload so laaaate now i have to watch this instead of sleeping! gg
Wow, this game was so incredible and atmospheric. I really enjoyed it.
Great gameplay and understanding of the story
I really enjoyed this game. The plot was really good and I loved the way the story was told. The good ending is definitely bittersweet, but at least Wei was alive.
Solid game for sure. Atmosphere and ambiance really made the game as good as it is. Bonus for all the chinese/vietnamese folklore and culture references. Really interesting stuff too if you're not familiar with it. Not sure if this was Redcandle's first game, but if so I can't wait what they gonna make next. This game really put the fairly unknown studio on the map and can easily compete with other AA+ horror games. Thanks for the LP Manly.
So sad to think that ppl were imprisoned or killed just for wanting to learn or have freedom
Love your commentary manly
Such creative story-telling, despite bein' bittersweet.
Great game! Thanks for playing it :)
Thanks for playing this.
That was....just...a really really good story. I am FEELING things. Sad things. Good things. I'm just glad I got to watch this. Thanks for playing it, Manly! And thanks for your commentary. It really helped make more sense of some of the more specific cultural references.
Also, if you liked the themes or aesthetics of the game, I really recommend checking out this music video: czcams.com/video/GHu39FEFIks/video.html
It's Korea and not Taiwan, but it still deals with young people who get caught up in the problems of the anti-Communist movement, so if you liked the game, it might be worth checking out.
Soomin Gomez Thanks for that music video. Really cool.
I think Taiwan and Korea have that similar dictatorship stuff going on in roughly the same years.
These incident in Taiwan. Don't really linked with communist activities. But, more about maintaining a stable dictatorship power. So the banned list can include non-communis materials such as democracy materials I guess.
hiding in the comments cafe-
hamburgers
tea
soft drinks
ramen
hot dogs
lots of fries
sweet potatoe fries
coffee
👍
Great game! It's very moving. Kinda different from all the jumpscare games I have been watching lately :)
damnnnnnn this story is not that scary, its just the story behind it makes me creeps out
WOOOOOOW MANLY AWESOME PLAYTHROUGH
Seconds after watching this, I just realized that I'm crying.
lol Detention actually has an movieXD
but it wasn't good I'll say.
Watch through your Devotion and Detention game play and you're my favorite!
I love how you actually pay attention to the story and getting things really fast,
I love how you dig into the culture; your realized a lot of things the non of the western (or even Asian) did.
You mentioned Feng Shui when playing Devotion, and yes they move things around because of Feng Shui, but only one or two gamers from Taiwan actually noticed that detail.
This is just a very sad story, and I really liked it a lot. I also cried, which is normal for me.
"Life has many doors, Edboy"
So heres the story i got from this game.
Fang ( The girl main) and Wei (The boy main) were childhood friends. When she started going to this school, she was in almost anything and naturally became one of the smartest girl in class. Soon however, her father started drinking from the stress of his job, and treated Fang and her mother badly. She soon told her counciler this and he saw something in her, and they started secretly dating. Ms. Yin found out (I think shes his wife) and flipped out on Yang. She started spreading rumors on her and giving her bad grades, making her classmates hate her, everyone but Wei. The counciler didn't want Yang to be this way, because all he wanted was for her to be happy, so he broke up with her, and Yang got depressed. Wei saw this and asked her if she wanted him to tutor her ( as seen in that scene with Yang and Wei at the desk). He soon told her about the secret book club and asked if she wanted to join. As soon as Yang heard about Ms. Yin being the leader of this book club, she told the police ( or whatever would cause that much trouble) about this. Yang went to the office and took the note from the desk and gave it to the police. Although, Ms. Yin had already knew this would happen and already left, making sure Wei and the classmate burned the books (From that scene with them burning the books). Little did they know, Yang knew almost everything on what Wei told her, and they got found out by the police. They were taken away (Wei included). Seeing her mistake, she wanted to get Wei out of this, but he was one of the main people with Ms. Yin. She felt even more depressed and lost herself from this. This is why she is stuck in the school. She commited suicide (Which explains the jumping off the bridge). Although, i think Wei survived, that's why he was the main character. He never blamed this all on Yang, and came back to the school ( which explains the ending). This made Yang realize her true self,making her soul at peace.
(I don't know if all of this is true, but that's what i got from the story. P.S. sorry about any spelling mistakes, i tried my best... :~:)
She most likely realized her mistake from making the councilor and her best friend Wei get in deep trouble and because most of them got a death sentence, she ,must have thought Wei would die as well,and committed suicide in order to be with him. So when Wei got out of prison and found this out, he must have went to the school (When he most likely last saw Fang.) Fang must have thought it wasn't in her place to be with him, and let her soul be at peace.
(P.S. Ms. Yin must have went to another county to fight on human rights for her home country (where Fang and Wei are, i forgot the name...sorry.) and that's where she died of cancer. Ms. Yin most likely got her connections from the counciler ( A.K.A. the person dating Fang) which is why i think she is his wife. The counciler stayed back to help with the books, then would have went with Ms. Yin, but he didn't make it.( sorry, i forgot the counciler's name...)
this game is beautiful
You can not escape the world without a reason... Why do you let me live in this cruel world?
This was a great and tragic story.
It makes sense now as to why Wei was the able to do anything protagonist for a while.
So she DID kill herself in the theater, and that's why she keeps ending up back there! I think there was an award ceremony for her turning in the book club. And after that, she recieved abuse from other students for snitching? Or that locking of the bathroom stall was done by her own mind wanting to punish her.
Locking someone in the bathroom is classic Asian school kid torture-bullying.
Loved it :]
Cool video! I like it
You didn't even watch it before you commented XD
This is such a sad game and it reminds me of Cry of Fear only in Chinese with good scary Floklore.
And seriously what is with the forbidden book situation? Was it really a thing in China or something?
I heard banning books, but never anything this extreme that could lead to jail or death. What book was it that was so forbidden? Catcher in The Rye?
The story background is true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Terror_(Taiwan)
These kinds of things happned in many countries. It's not rare at all, even today.
Taiwan and South Korea have those histories till 1990s. the US have McCarthyism in the 50s.
You know what happened to some books dealers just last year in you-know-where?
EternalHikari NoTenshi It's history of Taiwan not China.
And all the story in this game is real.
So... Um... Now that this is finished, will you play more of Angels of Death? Not that I don't appreciate your other videos. Detention is really interesting actually! It's just the fact that the suspense is killing me for angels of death.
Cindy Wu he'll undoubtedly continue angels of death since this one is over.
so ray's only solace was thinking that the people she switched on, plus a few others, would appreciate her committing suicide. i'd also like to think that she was stuck in this mind loop and left wandering the school until wei comes back. in the good ending, it seems like she would only focus on people who actually cared for her, such as mr counselor and wei, who would never condemn her for her actions, and finally be able to move on
My only question is: When/Why did the councilor become cold to her? Was it what Yin said to him? Because it seems like he was still intending to continue the relationship when they spoke. Or did it happen after she reported Yin, but before the authorities arrested the councilor? She only ratted out Yin so I would believe that there would be some time before they found out about the councilors actions. This time line is throwing me for a loop.
This really reminds me of Silent Hill.
2 years later and they've released the movie. It's airing now in Asia, but idk about other countries.
Wow, what a poignant game. Definitely reminded me of The Cat Lady.
But, does anyone know what the syringes hanging from the ceiling were supposed to be? They were really unsettling to me, I'm trying to think about what they could possibly mean...
so what has become of that huge monster with that thing on its back? the one that we only saw the siluete of (probably spelled it wrong) is the one i mean
Manly do a best videogames of 2016 video, I would like to hear your thoughts
ur the first non-taiwanese player who i watched that figured out the plot and the cultural meaning at the first time
it's refreshing. i enjoyed watching your horror game playthrough a lot. been binging your videos the last few weeks
ur not overly eager to make everything "funny" "exciting" or smthin
i rlly appreciate u
At 42:30 ish, i tried covering the speakers at the bottom of my phone, and the music becomes worse. It gets scarier and horrifying.
This game is interesting.
wooooo finally!
so wei was in love with ray?
Anti-Social I was wondering the same thing lol
Huh? Where does it imply that? I thought that just Ray and the instructor was in love.
Arutemisu Wei had a feeling for her, yes. ("My love ones (his family, Ray and may be the other) and teacher (Miss. Yin) went to a higher place." in his note entry ) That's why he gave that book list to her so easily in one of Ray's memories. (You can see he lied a little when he burned his book with his friend who asked him if he know how the book list got out) But it is not the same case with Ray, she was burning with jealousy and just wanted to get a hold of the book list for her revenge. Basically, he was being used but intended or not is still a question. I don't think she know at that time Wei liked her because of her blind jeolousy but we can't deny what she had done is not any less horrible.
Summery: Everyone is suffer.

What a surprise ending
Damn...
This is a Strong Game...
😕
Hi everybody.
How are you? :D
The only thing that I'm still confused about is whether or not Ms. Yin and the counselor were dating/ex-lovers or Ray interpreted it that way.
Hold on was the guy at the ending wei or the counselor
Kevin Lac wei
Kevin Lac Counselor gets executed.
Thx
It's Wei. Probably when he got old and return to the school when he heard that it is going to be demolished.
He was in prison for less then 15 years probably. So, he was about 30 when he was released. He looks much older at the end of the game. So, he was revisiting there many years later.
It's kinda based on someone's true experience. Or, a mix of a few true events during that era.
Manly you missed a golden opportunity there you could have said her award was a nuisance ah ha ha
30:42 omg it's Mirai Nikki (future diary) scene
