  • I'm finally back and so of course I decided to play a nice relaxing game where you staple squirrels to your formerly alive wife! Lovely! Made by the same guy that made Iron Lung.

      It’s such a perfect, hair-raising concerto of panic. There’s been little noise, no music, and the only thing to cause noise is the player within the entire game, until that last part.

    • @101Volts
      @101Volts Před 6 měsíci +39

      @@kexard Surely there's an art to this sort of thing. Related, there's a robbery gone wrong movie called "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) and it has *no music in it whatsoever* except for the intro, one jukebox scene, and the outro. No ambient music, mostly nothing else but dialogue, gunshots, maybe a few engines and a cutting torch sound.
      Because there's no music at all except in those spots, the Jukebox Scene is a highlight, but I often ask myself why. I keep thinking the movie's just a way of showing a world full of emptiness in crime. But the old man gave the teenagers some jukebox money, so I wonder if maybe the idea is that he saw and finally understood something other than what he talked about doing, which would have been perving on young women, as he probably intended to do when he gave jukebox money. Though at the same time, the music might just have been a way of catching himself. He was on the run, and was caught just outside that diner. He'd have gotten away if he left immediately, instead of staying to watch a teenage girl dance to the jukebox music.

      well, the squirrel call sounds like a Corbeau howling danger. So due to this comment, I had to look up chinchilla sounds to guess what it sounds similar to; Firstly I understand why you have one as your pet, secondly it sounds somewhat like a child to mother, so it may be confused with that or another animal calling danger depends on what kind of "freaking out" actions took place. I'll see for a rabbit, as I have 2 killer rabbits home with me { referring to how they look in minecraft, I am not aware if they have a name. }

So I just wanna say glad that you’re back, can’t wait for iron lung. Also another thing, I saw a clip of you talking on a podcast about that Kurzehgstat or however you spell it about but you talked about spending 90% of your time with your parents by the time you are 18. Well I’m 20 so that helped a bit. But regardless all I wanted to do was tell you thanks for that and glad you’re back. Peace.

    Based on my analysis of the story of the game, the painted lady story is a sort of metaphor about the main character, who is already insane and is rationalizing for murdering his own wife and covering her corpse with the carcasses of squirrels that the main character hunted to make her look "beautiful" and pretend that his wife is still alive. Just like what was written in the painted lady story about "the stew being poison" and "art will eventually destroy the artist", the man has been hallucinating and died after eating the squirrels that died near his home from poison. All in all, the game is ominous and eerie. As always, brilliant work by David Szymanski in developing and making Squirrel Stapler.

  • @somerandomhumanbeingonthei1924

    As an aspiring game dev this is exactly the kind of horror I want to produce. Stuff so RIDICULOUSLY terrifying it fills you with utter fear from the sheer idea of the game. That end was amazing. The terror it elicited was palpable

    • @EveTater
      @EveTater Před rokem +31

      Is this sarcasm? The entire game was almost comically absurd with its weird obsession of squirrels and then it just ends, I feel like it was supposed to be a joke game. Don't get me wrong, if you want to make a game like this go for it there's a genre for everything, but I didn't feel the terror

      ​@@EveTater I would first like to say that your opinion is different from others. Second, I did feel a sense of growing dread and terror throughout the game. Now I don't know a whole lot about proper game design like this (although I hope to one day), I feel that while it was pretty comedic in its obsession, it unnerved me a lot. Especially when the "wife" moved at the end of the 3rd day.

      ​@@colewegner7576 very true, the game goes for a very specific type of horror the best i can describe it would be
      "slow burn, lovecraftian" while the game is still quite funny(like how the squirrels dont have animations and just float) but this works in the games favour as it disarms you enough that when something unsetteling does happen like the wife moving and god it just ends up grabbing you a lot more. Now i do get where EveTater is coming from, not everyone is gonna find this game scary or even creepy for the people who enjoy combat or adrenaline pumping horror (resident evil and puppetcombo games being a good example for both) they won't find much value in a game like this but for people who like more slower, simple horror like slender or just a bit more of a psychological angle like silent hill this game delivers!

    with these kinds of games it's not the actual jumpscare that does it, it's the dread, that feeling that you know one's gonna happen soon

    • @real9346
      @real9346 Před rokem +14

      its the same with iron lung, the whole game is basically just increasing the tension until it let's it all out with a creepy jumpscare at the end. the problem with these games though is that they really only work on you once or twice because after the first playthrough, you know it's coming so it becomes less effective.

      After watching a couple times, you realize the jumpscare at the end is as cheap as it can get, and the build up is what actually makes it scary, but it does it immaculately. Besides the great sound design and pacing of the finale, I think the rest of the game’s progression from knowing the protag is crazy from the start, peaceful and continuous hunting, and knowingly angering forces more unnatural than you makes the ending more dreadful.

      in english yes but in polish it would be more like She-Mun-Ski, since in the "man" part , the a is more closely pronounced like the u of "butter".
      Although according to the IPA it would be written as "/aː/", just like the a in "bra".
