Welcome to the I Smell You Club, how I Smell You are ya?

That old man not only let those kids walk into their own deaths but also made money off of them lmao He really did say fuck them kids loudly

Benjamin should have increased movement speed cause he's scared, that would make the increase sweat make sense. All he has is a debuff

It would be cool if there was a mechanic where you could go back outside to reduce the sweat because of the cold air, and prevent Nora from chasing you. making the game a bit more fair, but not over the top easy because you would still get caught trying to run outside because of how fast Nora is.

A big problem with the game is that Nora's location outside of the current room isn't being tracked by the game during chases, so she just instantly pops up behind you if you try to lose her through rooms.

Scary house: **Exists** Kids in horror games: So we enter this house at midnight right?

I honestly assumed leaving the house would reduce your sweat. But no you can't do that. I think this game has a good aesthetic. But the sweat mechanic is terribly thought out. I get it, it's suppose to suppress closet camping. But this "solution" makes hiding pointless.

I like the way the jar of fireflies rolls out of the house and down the steps to the next person. Neat animation and mechanic instead of going with a "game over" screen.

What is interesting is how Nora personally wanted to beat her bullies and ignored the brother who went in there to scatter the cards because it seems he left there unscathed and no injuries. I respect how the last kid continues to look for the cards even though, their friends may be dead or perhaps they somehow thought getting the cards will somehow free their friends or something. I can imagine she was aware of the game they were playing and allowed them to live once they got all the cards and only left them with bruises and psychological trauma. Still, I'm glad she got her revenge.

idk about anyone else, but i love how ManlyBadassHero titles his videos as if he's panicking, but even playing horror games he's the most calm and soothing voice you could hear, the titles will always crack me up

Actually I taught the biggest problem is the time she takes when you are in the closet, i felt like it was too long and just boosted your sweat a ton

This game has three main issues. Nora shouldn't teleport behind you when you enter a room, when nora receives candy there should be a guaranteed time without her spawning and the sweat meter either needs to slow down or the player should be given opportunities to cool down, be it leaving the house or finding items in the house.

Let's be honest though, if you were the last kid and both your friends are presumably dead...what is stopping you from just leaving and going home? Why go in at all? Guilt?

this game has a lot of potential, but as everyone said, the sweat mechanic needs to be fixed. i love the vibe already!

It's weird how hard the game stresses that the kids are fuckin' DEAD when Nora catches them, but in the ending they suddenly only have "a few fractures and cuts"

the sound of her eating the chocolate is so satisfying

"What they were going to find in the Morgan's house I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy....but those kids reminded me of some d*cks I used to know so I let them go in without warning lmao"

No pathfinding. They set Nora to follow the mouse cursor so she always gets you if she enters the room. That would help the balance issue. Cause in a normal game Nora should have left if she couldn't see you in that washer room.

Why bother putting on deodorant in the comfort of your own bathroom, when you can just buy it from a creepy stranger when you go out?

This game's in desperate need of rebalancing. It seems like hiding in the closet just wastes precious time with the sweat mechanic. The time needs to be lengthened and/or in-game ways to reduce sweat. Maybe in the shower for example.

Game seems frustrating and unbalanced but a cool concept, weirdly similar to eggs for bart... also when in her room does it play a music box version of "why do birds suddenly appear?"

Benjamin needs a buff to counteract the sweating disadvantage, something like increased default movement speed (I mean, he's sweating already, so why not?). If anything, though, I would have disadvantages show up in Normal, which you only have advantages in Easy. Alternate to the increased movement speed is having Benjamin start with an item or a few coins, making starting with him a smarter move to start with. Also, Annette's double money didn't seem to work.

I'm at 17:29 now. honestly I could imagine if you're down to one kid you have an option to just go home for an alternate ending. No friends left to guilt you, save your hide.

It seems like the last thing that happened in the house before these kids arrived was that the thermostat was set to ninety degrees and all the windows were closed. Very sweaty people. It'd have been neat if you could have some sort of small distraction to place. Nice video as always.

This game was just unfair. Such an amazing concept, but it's almost impossible to go though a clean run smoothly on the first try

Despite the flaws, I like the mechanics and the art style! Getting into the lore was sad but hey, at least she got her revenge 😭 I wonder if Ben's brother made it out alive tho (most likely?)

Imagine living in a country where it feels like a sauna the moment you step foot outside I'm doomed.

As what everyone else has said, as well as yourself, it has balance issues. You can't run or hide from Nora, let's be honest. It's supposed to be a cold, winter night and they're in a house that's essentially been abandoned but they're sweating more than a Brit in a heatwave. Did the brother turn the thermostat to max before he left? It just makes no sense. The one character having only a debuff doesn't make sense either. It would make sense if he's so stressed that he'd either move faster or be aware of Nora earlier than the others, or start with items or money. But also, the buffs of the other two characters - especially Annette- does little.

That over-exaggerated LOL in the beginning was hilarious Manly, nice touch, lol.

"Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells... smelly." -Mr.krabs

This is the kind of game that I want to see the devs themselves play. If they can't beat their own game, that tells a lot how broken their game is.

Manly: “She's actually pretty fast!” CC: “She's stretching pretty fast!” Me: “Dafuq?”

40:39 I love how Manly just called Nora's first trophy useless in front of her very face.

13:28 if her doctors told her to take that many antidepressants of different classes, then yeah they really didnt know what they were talking about. i was expecting her to have died from serotonin syndrome

no "empty like my soul" jokes... this is a manly clone

This seems like a bit of a frustrating game.

It's a brilliant idea to make a horror game based on smell. She won't notice me when I write comments because it doesn't smell.! Thanks for playing..... Manly!

Bet $10 that Manly spends at least 10 minutes thinking about these titles

This game has a lot of flaws. It definitely needs a mechanic where it can reduce your sweat not just by buying the deodorant spray after finding very limited amount of coins or the fan once. Waiting in the closet takes way too long you’re literally just wasting time while your sweat bar goes up and it makes it impossible. The time that it takes for the ghost to notice you and then come to kill you is nowhere near enough time to be able to go and get into a hiding space. You shouldn’t be Insta killed if she walks into a room. You also don’t need to collect so many damn cards/you should find cards faster and easier. When someone plays a game like this they don’t necessarily care about the lore but the actual gameplay. The kid who just sweats makes no sense everyone else has an advantage but he just sucks. The game has potential but it just comes across as frustrating, annoying and no fun. Having a game that is basically impossible on normal mode and just barely beatable on easy is very off putting.

I wonder if the gameplay mechanic could be improved by for example having an ability to open the windows so the breeze could reduce the sweat. But also the ghost could go around closing the windows, so it would balance the situation. I really liked the art syle of the game!

LMAO the standoff where manly searches everything he can while getting the ghost stuck..

manly using the bugs to his advantage is actually hilarious

I know people are commenting on the game and all that, but the "card found" jingle has been driving me mad because it sounds so close to the Rugrats so I'm just expecting the "bah baaah~" after it plays.

The "one character dies, next character gets sent in" mechanic makes me think of Maniac Mansion. You had to pick a trio of kids in that and yeah, it was possible to die.

Honestly, this just kinda sucks. If the ghost enters the same room even once, the character either needs a cookie or they are basically almost dead. Because she will give chase instantly until the character finds a closet, which sometimes doesn't help anyways when she is too close. And if the character gets in the closet, she just lingers for so long that the sweat bar takes a massive hit. I actually feel like it would be fairer if it was the other way around. She only appears if the bar is in the dangerzone and then one has to hide if she is in the same room to make her leave with her not being able to get you during the animation of entering the closets.

When the game bugged out and she couldn't go in for the kill lol. She's just standing there! Menacingly!!!

20 minutes in and I think that this game should have a way to reduce sweat Edit: now over 3/4ths into the vid and I think there should be more than like 2. Something like going outside should reduce sweat

Given there’s a hard limit on how many items you can buy, yet the coins are so very limited, it seems like there was a previous build where that would be necessary.

9:27 That actually surprised me lol Love the mechanics and the artstyle. Looks very cool, but can see that it's full of flaws. Especially when cornered, you can't do anything without cookie.

This game has a lot of potential to be an absolute banger. I love the premise and that the narrator in the beginning is a third part witness with his own prejudices about what’s happening because it lend the player to have these prejudices at the start I wish they would have leaned into that start up with more character development like you find at the end that it wasn’t the older brother who scattered the cards they were actually card Nora had given the little brother and he wanted them back or something like that. Or leaned into them being bully’s more if they wanted to nail that premises in. I also loved the style choices of going through a door had a old camera flash feel is such a small but scary touch that I thought could have been added on. Would love to see if they add to this game and maybe fleas hit out into something bigger.

"This is a first person game" **Slowly backs away before any junpscares apear**

Octavi is very good at animation, pixel art and creating spooky environments. However since all their prior games have just been point and click adventures I think they needed a little more work on this to make the gameplay a little more fair. This is also a nitpick but the deodorant doesn't necessarily stop you smelling. It makes you smell like something else. Why wouldn't the ghost be drawn to the smell of the deodorant?

Maneki Neko: yada yada yada~ Manly: YADA YOOOOO yada yo indeed, manly, yada yo 😭✊

Finally, my Smell-o-vision will get some use!

I feel like just watching it's way too hard. You kind of lose the sense of needing to find the cards because you're just trying so hard to survive two to three rooms of the house and then those rooms might not have a card at all, just lore.

Here's how the game could be improved 1. I think the sweat bar should go up VERY slowly, only speeding up when you are in a closet, running, or being chased. Or, give multiple options to decrease sweat. 2. you should be able to leave the house to buy items and lower your sweat bar a bit mid playthrough, without having to send each character into a suicide mission. 3. Each character should have a nerf to balance the buff they get. Ben gets a permanent speed buff because he is scared, Annette gets a small debuff to her search speed since she is nitpicky, and honestly paul should remain the same but make the 25% buff into a 15 or 10% buff. 4. Rework how Nora follows you in chases. 5.make coins a little more common.

The mechanic: "Dont sweat" Manly: "Another chocolate star please."

I just searched it up wanting to know more about the lore because man do I feel for Nora... I'm also in a similar state of depression and I just wanted to get to familiarise myself with the story because this game is so absolutely lovely, I just really love the 8 bit graphics and the premise as well, pesky teenagers who can't mind their own business shall be punished >:( Needless to say I got very confused when I saw there's absolutely no information about this game anywhere, like not even a wiki page or anything, it won't even find it of you write "Uninvited game" on google so I had to return to the description of this game and check steam info and I was SO sad to see it was just barely released two days ago! :( Of course there won't be any fanbase or wiki or any info about it :( It looks like such a wonderful game to play, thank you for the gameplay, I hope you enjoyed playing it!!

losing my mind that not only are there 3 antidepressants and no antipsychotics but there are TWO SSRIs like... that person definitely died from serotonin syndrome

Bro honestly after the first kid was gone I would just leave not even just because of ghost there could be an actual person in there willing to hurt a bunch of kids

I love how Manly resigned himself to death in the basement and then pulled a big brain play with that "Hold up, who says we can't keep fighting?" 4:23

13:34 I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to mix anti-depressants like that

This game looks very interesting since it’s based on smell. I would love to see more of this in the future if the developers decide to upgrade it and make more content.

For anyone wondering Nora's music box was playing the song "Close to you" by The Carpenters

Your tolerance is so much higher then mine, I don’t think I would have bothered after it bugged the third time.

Maybe have more than one fan randomly in the house to balance the sweat system? Though I suppose the creators did it on purpose that you need all three kids to win as a story is a lesson in kindness unless there is going to be an alternate ending updated where you can win with one.

Oh one hand, I wonder if the ending changes if you finish the game without using all three characters (after all, not everyone would be roughed up). On the other hand, I'm not sure it would even be possible.

this game has a lot of potential. First I love the character design for Nora as she runs around. shes so tall and lanky and the clothes are surprisingly stylish. By the shushing sound she makes when she walks around I assumed that she might have died by drowning in like a swamp but it seems she just hung herself instead. ( and the other sounds she makes are . . . interesting) The game does look over all gorgeous but it also has lots of problems. Besides all the game breaking bugs the sweat mechanic a good idea is not used well and having Ben not having any buffs along with his debuff makes him really unbalanced, And over all the game is just to difficult. Difficult games can work but if its basically impossible to win on normal and just slightly better on easy mode the game is just not going to be any fun. This appears to be the creators first attempt at a first person game and well making games are very hard especially when doing something new for the first time and not everything is going work out on the first try. But I do believe they will improve and can make something great! Overall it has a beautiful style but many flaws as well, but I cant wait for the next game by the developer :) (though I doubt they would ever see this comment or anyone really lol)

Benjamin => Necrosette => Paul Buy deodorants, save portable fan for when needed

In my opinion this game is too unbalanced on top of the game breaking bugs. I feel like each character should have a good element to them and a bad element so that the strategy makes more sense. I just feel each of there quirks don’t really make much impact (except for the sweaty kid)

The bugs made this game 50 times harder than it had to be, you had more patience than I would dude.

_The game is just beginning and..._ I already don't like Paul. He deliberately is setting up this "game" for no good reason other than to make a dare. Dares don't work out well. Old Mr Smith is cool. Edit:. Good little story, great art and I liked the sounds and music. I felt bad for Nora. I was half expecting the Close To You song to mean she had a crush on a boy and he made fun of her, but she had enough sadness. Personally, I'm gonna wait to see that some of the balance issues are fixed and bugs ironed out before I buy. Great job as usual, MBH!

In the first minutes I was like: wow this games seems impossible but Manly is a pro maybe I just dont see it. Turns out it is really is that frustrating, welp sometimes you have stinkers

That's a hard ass game. There's no way to beat it without losing at least one person. Unless you're the luckiness person in the world. The story is good. Those kids was horrible to her. The art style is pretty

42:14 When your playing tag but there's a table between the person your suppose to tag:

Lots of people are saying that you should be able to go outside and such to lower sweat. But that would essentially make the sweat meter pointless as you could just closet camp near the door to the outside (which is what the sweat meter is trying to avoid) it also doesn’t make much sense in regards to the story. If it were me, I’d make the sweat meter go up *only while you are in a closet*-this make logical sense: you sweat in warm enclosed spaces while something is hunting you-but it would also reduce your ability to closet camp. You can choose to hide in a closet early when she sings to make yourself as safe as possible, but the longer you stay the closet the higher your sweat, which incentivizes waiting until the last second until entering a closet. This, combined with a tad more RNG to the singing as she gets close, and a ‘if she sees you go in the closet she knows you are there’ logic could make for very interesting gameplay. This also leads into the thing people have brought up about balancing the character with only a debuff-while I think there is merit to having some characters naturally be harder than others, switching sweat to only in-closet would mean the debuff could be paired with a buff like ‘…but ghost attacks less frequently’ or ‘…but can hide in X places no one else can” Some other options that would change the feel of the game more would be: - sweat goes up when you search and hide, but goes down slowly when you are just walking. This would encourage you to NOT just enter and then completely search all of a single room, as you need to spend some time walking to lower your sweat (so search a little, then run, search a little, then run) - sweat goes up when the ghost is close (singing and sniffing range) but when you successfully hide from a sniff she disappears completely and takes some time to respawn, this would mean you can either keep running and searching but lose your chance to successfully hide if she does catch you (because of how quickly it raises your sweat) OR you can hide as often as possible to get her to despawn but also have to break up your searching constantly and hope for good RNG on respawn time - sweat doesn’t affect hiding at all, instead, it effects how well the ghost can track you. So as the night progresses she starts to hunt and follow you more closely, leading to more close calls and a more frequent need to hide. You can ALWAYS successfully hide, as long as you do so before she enters your room. This would make it a lot more like traditional horror games, but with an added difficulty increase over time

as someone with hyperhidrosis, this would be horrifying. Instant hardmode.

Benjamin: "Where'd you get that? (Firefly jar) Manly: "Well it's easy. First get a jar and then some fireflies- Me: "Oh thanks Manly, didnt know you needed a jar and some fireflies to make a firefly lamp! Thanks!"

Is it just me but I just love Mandy’s voice. It like soothes my soul.

"I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy... But those three kids seem vaguely obnoxious, so in they go!" Weird standard..

This game is one of the games of all time that's for sure.

That little music box was playing -close to you. "Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you..."

I think im drunk thank you though manly I like falling asleep to your stuff best wishes hope lifes good n all that

Taking a moment to appreciate how good Manly is at video games. This looked so hard and it was so satisfying to watch him beat it.

I watched it before falling asleep and I basically dreamed about a situation like this. I didn't have the jar and I wasn't looking for cards, but I was in a house with monsters like this one and I had to hide in a closet. Kinda creepy but I liked it

just was thinking if manly upload a new video and checked, perfect timing lol

IF YOU SMEEEELLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN?

It seems that Ben is the worst pick here, sweating 15% faster? Where if you sweat too much it's game over? At least the other 2 have benefits (like Paul's 25% speedier search)

“Listen Bob, I know we are about to move out of here, but before we do we should crank the thermostat all the way up.” “Man Joe that’s a great idea let’s do it!”

This was quite cool,but I think when Manly started going *USELESS! USELESS!* the game broke him

There's so much water they're splashing with. Would be nice if they used that to cool off a little :)

Bold decision for the monster in your game about being tracked by the smell of your sweat to very clearly have no nose.

Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells... smelly.

OH IT IS OCTAVI NAVARRO I've been watching his pixel art videos for years, they're really cool!

I like how Manly pretends to be be Dio during the whole run: Useless, useless, useless, useless!

13:30 so they prescribed 3 different antidepressants at once?? recipe for serotonin syndrome.

The true horror in this game is in the comment section, which is full of people who do not know how deodorant works in real life. PSA: If you stink, wash your armpits. Don't just put on deodorant or antiperspirant. If you're already smelly, simply wiping a scented stick across your armpits will only make you smellier. Do everyone around you a favor and wipe down your pits.

I'm glad she at least gives them a good beating.

I'm just confused at 13:28 why the game maker lists three medications, one by generic name and two by brand name:: Brand name: Zoloft, generic name: sertraline Brand name: Prozac, generic name: fluoxetine Brand name: Effexor, generic name: venlafaxine. Furthermore, nobody should ever take these drugs in combination. Sertraline and fluoxetine are SSRIs and venlafaxine is an SNRI. Taking those three together is asking for the serious condition known as serotonin syndrome.

You're not you when your hungry. *_SNICKERS_*_ satisfies_
