Welcome to the Will You Open The Door Club, how Will You Open The Door are ya?

"Open the door to win" being literal was clever, you win by opening it and just don't walk through it, so you could playing for hours, looping through room after room, so you decide not to walk through and then you win, then to rub it in they tell you how many doors you walked through before you figured it out. It kind of reminds of Crash Bandicoot 1 where if you miss any boxes in a level they rub it in by taking every box you missed and smash it over your head or any game with a death counter, the Nioh games have a statistic for how many times you've been killed, if you play modern mode in Crash 4 the life counter becomes a death counter. When a game has a counter for how many times you failed, it just motivates you to do better on the next run

Kinda wonder how much speed you could develop if you opened bottom doors as you fall toward them.

An Ed, Edd n Eddy reference? A cultured man as always, Manly.

_"You sounded kinda clingy anyway"_ And with that, MBH totally escaped the horror experience. Best ending. :D It did remind me of the wry humor of Stanley Parable where the best choice is no choice.. Or in this case, actually listening to what was told to you vs overthinking what you heard. Very clever and refreshing to see another game with dark surreal humor.

This playthrough was really adoorable.

Looks like Manly got himself into a door-rible situation.

this felt like "Subliminal space' meets 'Stanley Parable"

Thanks for playing and enjoying the game, this video made our day :D

For a simple game it made me feel uneasy just the emptyness. There is some noise and the text talked for a bit but your still alone physically. This would be a nightmare for me to dream about. Did love the tree and hidden stuff.

Can’t wait for the sequel Just More Wheels

"Oh no, I'm in the backrooms!" *top ten sentences before disasters*

Maybe the real door, was the friends we made along the way?

That was a lot of fun. It's a good take on liminal space horror with some added humor to it, that alone helps it stand out a bit more. The way to find some of the special rooms was clever, and the ending was amusingly simple.

Idk if it's just me but I really felt like Manly was a bit more energetic in this video? I put this vid in the background to listen to because I was writing something and I felt in his voice like he was more upbeat and chaotic than usual xD Or maybe I just put the volume way up idk either way still enjoyed 10/10

This reminds me of an SCP a bit. It's a little D20 shaped thing that over time expands any enclosed space it's in, adding new rooms and stuff in the style of the old ones. But as it goes further and further things diverge more and more from the starting material. Things in odd positions, then made of odd materials, and then shapes getting all unusual and physical anomalies and so on escalating endlessly.

You might like a game called Alter Ego by Caramel Column Inc. It has multiple endings and shoots to give an existential crisis. It's part visual novel and part idle game so there is a built in pacing system that might make gameplay a bit slow. There's fun psychological tests, if you consider each of those results as endings you may have your work cut out for you lol but there's a main story to follow that I think is separate from the tests.

" hey look the mall, if I look closely I could find Freddy " threw me off

You missed an easter egg involving _trying to escape_ from the ending... by pressing ESC.

I love your narration style, it's really engaging, and since you narrate everything on screen and all of the dialogue, I won't miss anything if I look away to do something for a second. I really appreciate it!

I'm going to be honest, I kinda like this and I don't usually like the whole liminal spaces shtick. I guess it's because it feels more Stanley Parable and less "Oh me too me too I can do a Backrooms" mess. Not to go off on a tangent to much but it's not so much the liminal spaces thing I dislike, it's how people have a tenancy to take a good thing, run it into the ground and have utterly no idea why the Backrooms was as effective as it was.

the bus stop door is one of my favorite parts bc of manly's "oh my gaadd" reaction 😭😭 around 23:00

I love that some rooms have a reverse Nintendo Switch, with 2 screens on either side of a Joycon, lol

I legitimately had a dream last night about a partially opened door to a RED ROOM. It had what I feel was a sort of heartbeat pulse feel to it, and a very unnerving presence. Thankfully I did not enter this room in my dream, rather I woke up forcefully before anything could come Out of this room.

You just gotta en-door through it

"oh no, i'll forever be a wagie!" The actual horror of running liminal spaces lol

This is the experience I was expecting when I heard of The Lord of the Rings, Mordor was in fact not a land of more doors but about some war and a giant evil eye thingy.

This has some Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion vibes with most of the rooms you go into that looks identical, only you're not being chased by a monster. The trap door ones is clever feature for this puzzle-maze game.

"Oh no, im interpretive art!" Every man's nightmare.

4:47 It was JoJa Co! Don't do it Manly, fix up the town center!

That museum was the coolest credit sequence ever

hilarious. i got the "count... one door" ending. the first ending you found at the beginning of this is the best :)

The backrooms are such a great creepypasta it's smart to add some sort of backrooms "easteregg" into your game, no matter which game. Have an invisible trigger hovering around the playable area that if you clip out you get teleported into the games backrooms, or have a buggy area in the game where you make it so the player glitches through the ground and ends up in the backrooms. It's such an interesting concept that i love this game added it in. And as we saw it's so unique that manly immediately knew where he landed.

Huh, ya know I don't think id mind being trapped in an endless maze of doors if manly was narrating it

This play through was so lovingly calming I fell asleep watching it (twice) and boy did it prompt some bizarre dreams…very enjoyable all told.

Your voice it's so relaxing to hearing that i leave one of your videos playing on the phone until i fall sleep

Us: “Ummm, manly? What’s that?” Manly: “It is the title of punishment, DO YOU LIVE IN A CAVE?! *many bonks ensue*

That Freddy impression was pretty good...

I swear- There has to be a completion out there of just Manly saying "Like my soul"

The yellow section I'm pretty sure is a Backrooms reference, the two door hallway might be The Stanley Parable, and that pool section might reference that cool pool liminal space game a while back

Just a minute in Manly gets an ending *Classic Manly* Also that Redacted suddenly reminded me of SCP stuff I can definitely see this as one (I haven't fully watched the video so I may be wrong)

When trying the east north x3 west halfway thru the vid, I think one of the North's was actually a west

That Ed Edd and Eddy reference makes me love this channel even more

I was about to say this wasn't that horrible. Then you became a wagie. And all of a sudden I felt terror.

Life has many doors, Ed boy.

30:42 I don't know if it is an intentional reference or not, but this looks almost identical to a permanent art installation at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. It's an underground tunnel connecting the two buildings that make up the museum, and looks almost exactly like this except the walkway is raised with recessed light under it so it seems like walking walking over the light as well as between it.. Its quite possibly one of my favorite places in the world.

I would have never guessed that the actual win condition was just open a door without going through.

15:32 The reaction to this made me laugh more than it should have. 😂

Manly: I won No one: The doors: You sure man?

Never knew your voice would be perfect for RS-Freddy 15:17

well, yknow what they say! when life closes a door, god opens...another door? and another door. and another- thats enough man thats too many doors thats THATS TOO MANY DOORS STOP *STOP*

I love the title of this video more than the game itself. This is the main reason I love your channel, Manly.

*goes to use the washroom before playing* “Wait why did I already win?”

This game looked great, I’m glad you could Handle it! I was worried you Wood give up. It really Hinges on the player not figuring out the simple secret for so long. The devs did a great job, Knock on wood! Door

Really enjoyed this. Definitely unique.

the perfect thing to watch while sketching

Okina will be proud... Or not.

You should be able to go back through doors, But you need to climb a cliff larger than the observable universe to go back, (Don’t ask how you teleport down there) So, it might be better to choose a few doors, Just don’t stay in the void forever, otherwise, only one door will remain... Death

aesthetics: the game p.s.: i really liked it

I'm impressed you stayed brave during these horror games I barely play it with out getting scared and closing and deleting the game.

I really have to sleep properly before watching your videos otherwise I'm just gonna fall asleep. Your voice is something you'd find in a "soothing video" type thing, but your calmness against the horrors of reality is a type of horror in of itself

apparently this is how my last lucid dream looked like full of doors that leads me into rooms

And of all the doors we go through every day we never truly go anywhere. Think about that one.

God teir reference to my favorite episode of all time~ I'm sure we all know well enough by now that them Ed Boys got into Eddys older brothers stash of Cid nd they had a reality breaking trip! Haga

The museum showing the assets used and creators reminds me of the end of stanley parable

What’s behind us is always our business. They’re the doors we have walked through to get where we are today. We did it on our own 2 feet so it’s 💯 business. Other than that 1st door behind you at the beginning-great upload. As always 😊

[Redacted] sounded like a nice person but they also sound really clingy I believe leaving him was the right choice bro

I love these liminal space games.

I think this game would really benefit from voice acting, like in Superliminal or the stanley parable

5:46 reminds me of that other game you played with the infinite pools. can't remember the name though

I agree with the part when he says that busses or any other transport are never on time

Ah yes, entering a tesseract/hypercube for funsies! I wish places like this were real, just huge places with no cameras and random stuff to explore. I wanna steal half the decor and put it in my room. I wanna walk arond this place for days with a backpack of snacks and come out with a couch i stole and eight different electronics.

yeeeeeeah,Manly was the perfect youtuber to play such a creative,wacky game

"please,stop it,get some help" *NOPE*

Reletable to everyone who tries to get a job Unless you inherit the job

I hope this doesnt sound weird and all but I could fall asleep listening to manly's voice, it's so soothing xD

I love this. This is like the little pen and paper role playing game my older sister made for me when I was 6.

It's not that everyone is scared of the pools... It's the stairs... Weird stairs at pools and no handrail... Nightmarish!

I was gonna comment the many doors to life reference but you went and beat everyone to it

Did anyone else think when the building came down that it was gonna have another door higher up. New game plus "even more doors"

You know this concept has already been done before on Roblox and VRChat, I really like it. It's usually memes though, this game is different, and I don't know who did it first, I wish I knew

Oh cool, the long-awaited The Cube & SCP-184 & Ikea colab!

im so happy manly exists he plays all these great games!I just search em up and find him!

im glad its not a straight copy of the liminal spaces images, but rather set pieces that capture the general idea of them. ngl that pool looked nice. i feel like id win on accident by resting on that grassy area... good game, i really enjoyed he museum the most

5:45 casually walking on water lol

this was so fun to play! great playthrough too :)

For once I came to a video quick enough that it is impossible for someone to have watched the whole video yet

I've never been this early! Probably because these go up at 2am in my time zone...gonna fall asleep to spookies

This is great, I love surreal games like this

Opening a door and not going through it means you get stuck as a wagie. I'm feeling some depressing symbolism there.

Is this "Cube: The Game"? Very cool. Thank you for the soothing confusion of doors.

"who needs reality when you can have a dooreality?" -the door creator

Wow! More like this, please!

1:34 More..doors..Moror!? One does not simply walk into that Manly

The door the just has 'HMMM' written on it makes me think this game was made for manly lol

In my opinion the most cursed thing, at least in the first minute, is the “ZQSD” control scheme like what the actual fuck.

Loved the ed edd and eddy reference in the title

“I’m kinda stuck to the surface… like a meat bag.” I laughed way harder that I should have 😂

Life has many doors, Ed boy!

I’m suddenly have a horror feeling you are in Shen Comics’s house. It’s nothing but weird doors that lead to weird …. Situations.
