Ball is life

NBA2K11 is better than this

Isn't this form the same ppl that made Chuchel tho? that was such a wholesome game

@@archsweet6711 ha as if

There is definitely something demonic that is very real behind this “game” and I really don’t like it

Still can’t believe that the makers of this also made chuchel

Somehow makes it better. Like , yeah ,sucks to be the kid, but it some how makes it less terrifying knowing that *YOU* are the problem and not some eldritch deity messing everything up for shits and giggles (basically what you're doing)

@@tynirio_1 How am I messing up everything?

@@Nirmiti. I meant in the game lol😆, but seriously tho that poor kid got sent on the acid trip of his existence in this game

@@tynirio_1 True. That poor boy went through all seven heIIs in one dream.

@@tynirio_1 The fact the character pounded on the other side of my screen, made it all the more interesting. That’s is why I love Amanita Design. I hope they make a sequel. They’re too smart to do that, though. Please don’t like your comments.

That's the point.jpg. remember, this is the studio that made Chuchel.

Well maybe you have a point

I don't know what you're talking about everyone is happy!

This maybe the case of happy pills. Everywhere in the world smiles around the person. Whether it’s about their loved ones, death or anything else or subject, everything will always be happy. This is only my perspective of this.

I read this as “the entire game is like a car wash” and I just accepted that they are both horrifying.

GARBAGE A* FENG SHUI AHGSAHHEHAGAHAHAHSHA

To be honest for all we know that it's almost next to the wall that we can't see

I know, I was sensing child abandonment or even an orphan feel off of that lone little bed. 🤔

@@WomanOf100Faces I was thinking more overbearing/abusive parent, I think that giant round head thing is his mom or something. He's laying in bed alone, unable to sleep and starts playing, the giant "thing" comes into his room and lords over him like a parent yelling at him. He has his toy bunny and drops it into the pond by mistake, just slipped, he's a kid, they make mistakes, and the thing showed up again and did the same thing. Feels like an overbearing entity punishing him for simple childish mistakes, i.e. a parent

@@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms i imagined it as the physical form of extreme trauma or schizophrenia

I’m getting Binding of Isaac vibes

@@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms Actually, That Doll thing is called A "Schoolboy" (By The devs) it seems if it was a bully that beated him if he tried to get his toy back

I was thinking Chuchel and Salad Fingers lol (ik Salad Fingers isn't a game, but it is extremely unsettling and really sad when you overthink it)

This is from the same Dev as Chuchel so that part is spot on lolll

And cuchel is actually made by the same creators

I don't think Fran Bow would be as referential. Not enough explicit drug use and confidence in the main character

I've got the bad trip and childhood trauma down but unfortunately this isn't a dream 😭

Honestly got Franbow vibes… Now I want to rewatch Mark’s series on Franbow

@@reddagger3602 loved that series

@@allisonhill8744 and then you feel like you cant quite express your feelings right or put them into words 👍

Having looked into the story, i understand what you mean This game is about someone who had a very good childood until he lost 1 by 1 his toys and whatever was giving him joy in life so to fix that, he used drugs when he got adult. This game is him, tripping and getting back his toys and friends in his dream

@YeaMan bot

@YeaMan If you were better than Mark, humans would have been extinct a thousand years back.

Much like Happy Meat Farms

Okay cool just making sure.

Or a *horror* game

B cv b bnc

M

The creators have actually a lot of non horror games. I really recommend their games, beacose they are always in some weird environment but sometimes (like in their game botanicuela) It's actually really cute experience.

I mean the creator lives in a shithole (Czechia) the country is just Russia but the people are really mean (trust me i lived here my whole life it sucks)

It's very symbolic to loss and sadness, so I think every idea in this is very meaningful and worthy of such a thoughtful and symbolic game. The creator is very considerate for a game like this. So Ig you could say that every idea the creator had in *this* game is brilliant.

Ha

@Miles Doyle .... 👨‍❤️‍👨

@Miles Doyle Last part is kinda creepy man I think you need help outside of God's

@Miles Doyle And if i may be so bold... what made you think it was smart to go full text wall preacher here? Hey... if you think this somehow helps conquer darkness all the while ignoring the fact that this is A GAME (it never happened), then you need professional help... or keep on text preaching on the internet cause that'll do a lot of good (nah...) x_x Edit: to respect your faith, this is out of context and out of place, there is no opening where this text wall is either received, read or pondered upon by no-one else other than psychopathic fanatics who lost all sense of reason and are doing more harm than good.😒

@Miles Doyle One last argument, which to someone as beaten mentally as you would just go through both ears as if the answer is obvious "cause it's in the bible" If God is Love, and Jesus loves us so much, and he's claimed to be the same today, yesterday and tomorrow, where in the heck did you all came up with the idea of hell? It's in the bible... are you sure? Have you even bothered to ACTUALLY research the original scriptures? You hypocrites and liars, you preach love but have no clue what that even means, and if it is the foundation of creation then how can you all be so abominable as to insult such a concept by saying it is just and right and it is so because a stupid book tells us so. By the way, your bible contradicts itself on this matter so much you seriously must be a demon to not see it. Would you burn your child and torment him/her with horrors beyond description infinitely without end? And if that isn't enough, God supposedly is the one keeping souls in existence without who's will existence would not be, how in the HECK would love itself even be able to bare this abomination? Would you be able to perpetually maintain a dimension akin to what this game shows, knowing your most beloved are there because they disobeyed you? Being capable of believing this should by all standards sentence you to jail for psychopathic and murderous beliefs!

@Miles Doyle duh fuh

If u check out any other of aminita designs games they do a really good job at art style and sound design

Oh yeah, 10/10 anxiety over here

@@dragonitesskittles6394 machinarium is one of my favorite games!

I love botanicula

You might want to recheck the grammar on that second sentence

I can agree with that

Anybody else just scrolling through the comments, trying to find that one guy who knows wtf is actually going on and how this game is actually communicating some incredibly deep meaning, so that you can go to bed at night at least knowing that the unforgettable horrors you have experienced should at least embed some kind of new moral that will provide your life with some sorta sense of meaning? Or is it just me? Cos I’m ngl, my brain is kinda hurting right now.

The most relatable comment doesn’t exi-

If I remember correctly the story is the main character committed leave living and is currently either in purgatory or hell and they're trying to convince themself they're happy even though they're being tortured/toyed with by the smiley face

@@prosniperism That would explain why the lay-out is slightly like layers of hell. The beginning could be purgatory, the pretty-yet-wrong ones with the bunnies are limbo, the smiley faces eating is gluttony, and the monsters fighting over the stuffed rabbit is greed.

@@Unknown-hb3id no it’s more that it just makes sense. Not that we all had terrifying childhoods

To add (at least for me) it also reminds me of a past not wanting to ever be remembered. I feel like this game tackles the emotion of what some people - well children I guess mostly, who even the slightest, the most insignificant of mistakes puts them into fear and trauma. And I guess everyone handles themselves differently. Still to this day when I make some insignificant mistake I feel like I fell down a deep well.

Best Part of ADHD: Run so long in the dream you forget why you're running.

@@hexide9421 that happens because your brain doesn't want your sleeping body to accidentally start using the limbs it's dreaming it's using. if you want to run in a dream but you can't move, it's cause your real-life legs are motionless in bed. the same goes for if you want to punch but you can't move your arms. or you want to talk but you can't speak. cause if you do any of those things then your brain might accidentally get confused and copy those movements to your sleeping body. then you'd just be kicking in bed and you'll either sleepwalk or wake yourself up
