...not much of a joke, since I have depression.
But Manly-Senpai helps make things easier.... 😊
You're on the right path, make a left at the McDonalds though.

Tbh he described anxiety and depression pretty well. Part with the house and siren... my anxiety for sure.
Hey do you know how to delete this game. It’s giving me a panic attack
Stanley decided to play a game nobody should play.
_"We are nothing but dust and shadows" ~ ManlyBadassHero_
*That's not my quote!* ~ MBH
An interesting game of ideas - self doubt, self-loathing, loneliness, fear of people, bad memories of school, bad memories of relationships all woven together with good imagery. Two critiques: lose the finding 8 alarm clocks & just let the player wander into the dorm, the cafeteria, pool, gym, classroom & relate to the common horrors of school. Second, the game badly needed subtitles. The voice acting wasn't bad but the vocal effects made the voice difficult to understand & since this game revolves around thoughts, it's important to make sure they are communicated clearly.
+Mister Boomer I actually thought that segment was the weakest part of the game. I'm assuming you mean the more Catholic definition of purgatory where you make amends for your sins before getting into heaven. Otherwise they were kind of experiencing mental anguish & suffering kind of purgatory throughout the game. So wandering in a school purgatory would only make sense if he was a school bully reliving his behavior & seeing how it affected others & atoning for that. I don't feel that's what it was. I feel like it was more about reliving childhood/teenage years with being bullied or just having to deal with stress of school, horror of not fitting in, loneliness, & teenage angst. The whole game was the "leave me alone" because it's too hard to have to deal with people & their expectations when you have no sense of self worth & confidence. But I felt that segment was just an attempt at inserting "gameplay" by finding the clocks - not just the horror of dealing with getting up early for class - & I didn't feel the tasks fit the atmosphere of experiencing the environment the rest of the game had.

+Ammar Hossain I can't believe anyone's still using that meme typing lol.
I follow the artist who made this game. And it’s his first game and a secret project he was working on. I’m happy to see his work.
Thank you so much for the gameplay video!
The game really needs subtitles.
I'm currently adding them to the game. :)
Should be done in a week or so~
Sirhaian'Arts Oh you’re the creator of the game?
Yup! :)
Subtitles have been added! Let me know if it helps. :)
it has them
That was... pretty accurate for depression. Some of the details might be different depending on people's experiences, but I really liked the cameras. Unobtrusive at first, but they're always watching so you can judge your actions from every possible angle later. And hey, the beginning even has less cameras since you're still pretty together!
Chasing the light (and succeeding for a while) seems weird for a game focused on hating yourself so much, but even depressed people have good days. Days where they can actually work on getting themselves out of the whole. The hole is still there, though, and if you slip up too long it snaps back into place and you're back where you started, just a little older and a little weaker.
The ending scene was pretty nice, too. The nice and cheery "Welcome" screen rolls up and reveals... a noose. Yeah, it was under there the whole time, but you had to break yourself/the game down enough to make it an option. Same with the phone. It takes a while, going through the loops like that, to get bad enough to actually *do* something, either positive or negative, to roll back that cheery facade you put on long enough and take the first (or final) step to fixing the problem again.
All it needs is more symbolism for the lethargy that comes with depression. Maybe something where the only way to survive is to stay still for a while, watching as lights pass you by just out of reach? Then when you're finally supposed to move towards it, you find yourself too slow to catch up to a receding light.
The last paragraph of your comment really resonated with me. It was beautifully put. To me, it perfectly described how depression feels a lot of the time.
"Such a good game, a high quality product like a Blizzard or EA game."
Shots fired.
What do you mean? The quality is 420% on par with current Konami games.
What an adorable game on existentialism...I could've used this back in college when I first came to truly realize the concept...
I'm just glad basic survival instincts kicked my butt into gear when things got tough.
(Also...that little fanfare with Manly doing a deadpan "yaaaay"...
Monty Python and the Holy Grail levels of "much rejoicing!")
Hey manly you're like one of the only people I watch play games nowadays because you actually play the game and give fantastic commentary. Keep doing what you're doing man, much love 💕
This game sort of hit me hard. I have had depresion for a long time, and had suicide plans and my parents did not listen to me, when i said i felt bad. No one really believed me expect for my best friend, and she helped me get diagnosed with depresion so that i could get anti-depresives. She told me that if i ever had suicide plans i should call her, and one time i did call her, because it got real bad. The day after she told me that we could not be friends anymore. The whole thing in the game about the girl that wanted to help, and the noose with the phone reminded me of that. The day after, i tried calling my parents for help, but they just made it worse, and i ended up atempting suicide. It is not easy to ask for help, but when you do, and you get rejectet it hurts like nothing else
@@The_B_Button I don't know, she did help some other times, but not in the end
I understand what you went through. I almost got to this point. And that is why I am going to put a small reminder here for people suffering like you did and like I do too :
You are never alone, and no one should ever be. If no one around you is able to help right now, there are suicide hotlines to provide support whenever you need it. If no one is there for you right now, and you can't be there for yourself, they will.
09 72 39 40 50 french suicide hotline
suicidehotlines.com/national.html USA information website
I sincerely hope you got better, but I also am going to try to provide an answer to how and why she told you this and stopped talking to you, and to why you should go seek professionnal help and not only your friend's in these cases (even if it's hard and trust me i know it is).
I think the responsibility of helping someone going through this can be overwhelming. Imagine that a few times, a dear but greatly depressed friend of someone calls, and the worried friend talks them out of their suicidal thoughts for hours.
After helping a dozen times, everytime the friend calls means putting their life on hold for their friend's not to end.
This can end up depressing as they feel slowly sacrificing themselves, constantly checking their phone as they become their friend's only reliable life support. If for one second they don't check, if one time they are not able to answer an emergency call, their friend could die. And it would be their fault, they'd think.
Eventually, the friends stops being friends, only to become drawn into a kind of co-dependency relationship. Often the depressed friend does not call anymore for anything except mental support and suicidal thoughts, slowly drifting away from the primary aim of being a friend. None of the two friends can be supportive of the other as they slowly enter a downfall and mental breakdown together.
She could not deal with such pressure and responsibility, and no one should. She chose to stop before she would reach this very point from which there is little turning back.
I do not say this is your fault. To seek help is only natural in such state of mind, and to offer help to your best friend in this state is noble. But one should never have to fully sacrifice their life and drown alongside someone trying to pull them up.
This is why there are suicide hotlines to provide someone to talk with and support 24/24 7/7 =)
Never forget that you have the power to make the best out of you !
With love,
A french nobody
@@jhepadidaymaypamoa5172 Yeah, I agree with you.
I have a friend I assume to be depressed (he never confirmed this, only that he keeps repeating he wants to die). So as a friend, I tried to help him. But it is so hard... He never told me what his mental illness are (if he has one) so I could check how treated him correctly. He also doing very badly with his homework, always late to school because he slept at 1 am. Because of that, he always sleeps in class.
And after I'm helping him, he only become more spoiled at one point. When he wanted to talk to his friend, instead of walking to them he told me to tell them that, like he is so lazy about it. And he did it more than once. At one point I had enough and leave the classroom. When I back, I saw him talking to his friend without my intervention. Ever since then, I try to help him more indirectly.
Edit: @TheLuler
I'm not saying you are like this though. I know nothing about you, so I can't assume what you are like.
I understand how you feel. I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks, and my ex somehow always helped me. But at the end... When I went to his house, and I had another panic attack, his family kicked me out from their house, and my ex didn't do anything to stop them. And actually, we were in a long distance relationship. And there I was, with a panic attack, kicked out from the house of the person I loved the most. I had to go back home, 6 hours of travel. Three days after he left me, his family ordered me not to talk with him again. I felt like rubbish for a long time, since the one who swore to stay by my side until the end, ended up turning his back to me.
Stanley parable : depression edition.....oh wait the one who make stanley parable already has make one,umm...
Stanley parable : depression edition 2.0
I really like your profile pic! 😅😆
It's like Stanley Parable yeah, but it also reminds me of "This Is Not A Game". Cause the narrator in that is like "stop playing go away there's no game here OKAY FINE I'LL MAKE A GAME FOR YOU"
I'm glad that the creator left the meaning up to interpretation, because it's got a healthy dose of everything. I'm choosing to interpret it as that we should all ganbatte and just keep going, even if going sucks.
I'm just going to say this right now... Manly, you are underrated, my dude. Seriously! 240K subs? Like what the Hell is that? I would think you would be up to at Least a million with the content you put out. .-.
People can't handle this amount of Manlyness. Their loss. :)
as you wish, sir
Hello darkness
My old friend
I see you came early again
Ya know...I've been subbed for so long I forgot how "big" this channel is. Your content has such a certain unique aura around it that I haven't really found in other channels so It's really surprising that (like what other comments are saying) you don't have a massive following. But kill me for saying this...I kind of enjoy that? Not every youtuber needs 1mil to be seen as good and while your content defiantly deserves praise I don't want to see a fandom come from the channel and not the games you know? The comments here (while i often just read and not interact) tend to feel like people giving praise where deserved, critiquing the games, fun jokes about the video, talking about theories, etc. Not a huge slew of unrelated memes, "like if you-"'s, self promotions and so on.
And it's not even a matter of "'smaller' channels interact with fans more" because that's not really it. In fact most large channels expand their content in hopes of interacting and pleasing more and more people. I like the content thats made here, and I like the new stuff thats being added as well! But it would also take some getting used to if suddenly we got a bunch of skit videos and try not to laugh challenges, you know?
I do want to see this channel grow! I've been watching it do so since the Ib days (I just looked on the channel and the ib lp is one of the earliest?? holy crap. Content was A+ since day one! I remember being 14 and finding that upload back when youtube wasn't broken...now I'm 20 and its caving in...ANYWAY). But I also enjoy how the fans give off the same energy as the creator. Funny, but relaxed. Also how since the beginning, the atmosphere of each vid has been relatively reliable. And if theres only several hundred thousand people who like indie horror VN-style animeish games, that are also chill witty anime nerds? I think that's quite alright.
bahahahahaha
5:59 *instantly hit with Code Lyoko nostalgia*
I just got done playing this game and in a way it’s beautiful and I was actually checking to see if manly did a lets play on it so im glad he did :)
Also reminded me of the Stanley Parable. Is an interesting and weird game. Thanks for playing it for us.

Try "Fear and Hunger" next
When the darkness come, I woke up
When the lights come, I feel asleep
all this gave me is the bad case of the hurlies.
I may have been unable to tolerate the game's disorienting, nauseating swirling, looking around thing, but all in all, I think it's a good metaphor for depression. It's not something that will go away, even if you try hard to be free of it. Every little thing is against you.
Thank you again for your hard work, Manly! Looking forward to your next vid!
This game was amazing. I could relate to it in many ways. The ending was extremely powerful, very eye opening. It makes you think and can change you in small but very impacting ways. Enjoy playing everyone.
Hey dude, you're doing great. I don't get to see all your vids on time, but I see you.
i spent 30min to find the market and 10min to cross the light bridge. Too dark to see the ways.

The timing for me playing this game ended up being quite funny, so the message actually DID resonate with me.
wow this game is really pretty
I tried to finish watching but my heart started hurting
I'll try again tomorrow!
Thanks for being a cool dude. :3 I hope I can make my own let's plays as fun as yours. :3
I played this game today and I have to say that it resonated hard with me.
240K subs; almost at 250K. :D Way to go, Manly. :) Keep the subs coming, people. :)
I definitely see some portal inspiration even if it isn't intended
That's how I actually feel sometimes. Like, very often. I'm also very paranoid, so I am always thinking that I'm the worst, and that I could be better, that I'm not enough, no one likes me, and I'm a very bad person, and I suck at everything. People pressuring me to get a girlfriend, to go out, to be good at sports, to be better, and this makes me even worse, and nothing's enough. I try my best and hear "make it better, you can do it, its so easy my young brother could do it!". I feel weak. Both phisically and mentally. I'm not smart enough, not strong enough, not good enough. It sucks to be me. I just wanted to finish everything, but I don't even am courageous to do this. I'm a coward. I am weak. I should be dead.
The music is really cute, I like it.
Love your content but could you please put an equalizer or something over your audio? Most of the time your volume is moderate but when you get loud (which isn't too infrequent lmao) it's hard to take imo
See I used the rope at the end and now I cant play without re-installing. Theres just a distorted menu screen with a slider at the bottom right.
Wonder if theres more to do
Have you found other endings yet?
This made me think far more about anxiety than depression (as I live with both).
Spoopy stuff I gotta say
"I kinda like to annoy people" -MBH
i feel like people in the comments cant understand that everyone has different experiences, and that this is the dev's first game ... of course he sounds awkward, i dont even think hes using a good mic. but he tried his best on this.
I've played this game and i liked it but it's fun to watch other people play it too
The light path is like that slayer song
Oh, should I get the tissues ready?
"We are nothing but lollipops and rainbows... and if you don't know why that's horrible, you haven't really thought about it."
I would choose the "Help me" ending too, but what if you would chose the suicide ending? I'm just curious about the ending and the words that you can read at the and of the game.
This reminds me of another game; I think the name was called The Beginner's Guide.
if you play the game again there is a second part to it
Wow I never knew the game dialogue differed. I’m just watching this after watching Jack’s playthrough of it, and the dialogue in Manly’s playthrough seems more harsh and condescending(?) I guess. In Jack’s playthrough the dialogue is clearer and kinder in a way. The creator even gets confused and panicky on certain parts like in the School chapter. That one scene with all those lights were more muffled and slowed down than they were in Jack’s. It honestly scared me a bit but I’m really curious if certain things that Manly did at the beginning of the game affected the dialogue.
It overall is a really good game that gets the player to feel nervous, scared, and confused on certain parts. I’m happy that Manly played this game because it’s nice to watch how other people would view/play games like these.
I played it again and it reset my desktop background

Am I the only one who thinks the voiceover sounds like pre-puberty pewdiepie-

You should do an ASMR let’s play we’re you’re just whispering. I think it will bring you a whole new audience as I used to listen to you at first because of your amazing bass in your voice. ASMR IS HUGE now and you can add the tags to your video so that ASMR lovers like myself will see you when they search. 💕❤️
I think he did a shitpost video on ASMR using footage from DDLC...
You don't have asmr tingle from manly's regular videos? You're not a true fan!
(Jk)
Darkness.
Darknessssssss.
Dammit now I feel like playing lol again.
Just so ya know there are two more good endings.
I thought this game was going to be bad, judging by the video title saying it’s a ‘GAME NOBODY SHOULD PLAY.’ But it looks really, really cool, and it does a lot of cool things.
I can definitely see the comparison to Stanley Parable. Much like that game, I enjoyed this. It ends on an optimistic note instead of comedy. Just add in some subtitles and this would be all the better.

A glitch happend to me so now I'm stuck.
Oh dear
Ok but where is the bed?
I have a problem, do not let yourself play this game with total immersion with virtual reality glasses and the controls do not respond ... I can only play through the computer desk, and with the mouse ... glasses and the controls do not He recognized them ... and through the glasses. I have unloaded windows, mixed reality and steam and nothing ... there's no way, I'm despairing ... any ideas? Thank you
i ried this this fking game knew my real name not my game name and my wallpaperr and all how and cant even quit it it says no escape i got to task manager and end it
you should really turn the background up.
It kicked me out of the game, and now when I go back on it tells me "you are not welcome here" and "certain choices will allow you to come back".
It also rather creepily changed my desktop background to "You were warned"
Anybody else had this happen, or know what i'm supposed to do?
MatthewAndThings Go into your Documents and look for a folder titled “Darkness” and open it and delete all of the contents. Then it should let you play again.
I'm scared of watching it because of the warning that the developer put... Is it too shocking? Halp.
Nah, no jumpscares or similar. More on the creepy side but no shocking moments of "jumpscares".
Lol is there something like a post-puberty pewdiepie?
@@vvv3055 Postpuberty? I don't know. I was mostly asking because I go to therapy and was worried about getting affected, haha. Guess I'll wait to watch it with somebody.
@@yuwk9870 uh wait wut I managed to put the comment under wrong post xd That's what I get for commenting while supertired in bed at 3am. Don't mind me lol.
It's not scary btw, just a guy acting all depressed. And you got Manly along so it'll be fiiineeeeee. ;)
@@vvv3055 Hahahahahahaha. Didn't expect that. No worries, hope you sleep more today. I'll take your comment into consideration and hang onto Manly's manliness.
soo....
looks like i got the bad ending..
hehe
At the end of the game i suicided, what should i do i cant play xD
EA: You k-know there is a device like i guess erm... uh... behind you you can like slide your credit card. Then you will umm... i think continue the game.
Blizzard: I guess this is it. It's like the end of the game, you won i guess. Also we made a mobile port with a lot of new content. Do you have a phone?

You don't have windows 10? Does that mean you still use windows 7? If so then sweet, I am still not alone.
It's just an OS to run other programs on. Whatever version is receiving bug support and security patches but isn't in active development is going to be the smallest and the most stable.
You have chosen wisely.

Idk y but for me the persons voice sounds like it came from yuri on ice

Wow that’s pretty good but ye don’t doubt yourself or this will happen to you am not sure why tho anyways everyone in the game needs a chill pill
You only played through 1/3 of the game. Just so you know.
I played the other 2/3 of the game and found the light... Holy shit I can't recommend enough the experience
I'm scared about this game because it's too realistic to show the suffering of people with depression and anxiety. I'm afraid the cameras, the eyes from people, and the dark environment. You can quit this game easily to avoid the problem but it's not same easy to quit the problem in the real life. There's no escape in real world except choose a method to end it all.
i have a feelin this game has made ppl kill themselves
What the hell? It's literally spreading the opposite message.
I dont know, I hate these sort of games that exaggerate that only people who dont suffer from these things would say that's accurate. Honestly this game is annoying by how clever it thinks it is.
@@azmunt6855 I mean I see these things that try to explain to how I feel at times in such an exaggerated way. Its hard to watch without cringing. Yes I too have trouble talking to people and stuff but seriously the way the game presents itself just rubs me the wrong way and not in the way it intended
I mean.. What did you expect if the intro of the game is a guy saying um more times than one can count?
everyone experiences their mental illnesses differently
Edgy title but ok.
