Welcome to the MFW No Dark Tendril Shape Shifting Monster GF Club, how MFW No Dark Tendril Shape Shifting Monster GF are ya? Sequel Here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7hxd6p5sLjJfKs.html

Canela and laurel are condiments, so the demon thingy is literally choosing towns whose names sound tasty. There's quite a bit of goofiness in the writing and I think that fits the art style pretty well.

The most disturbing thing that happened in the game has to be the guy putting the egg in a cold pan, it was horrifying. That egg would have turned out so oily and gross.

I like how usually Manly's first choice are to choose the worst available option except for when it comes it animals

“I’ll do whatever you say.” Player: “Cool. Let me escape.”

Hey Manly! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you found it interesting. So you hit the nail on the head, I wanted to play with more game genres within the game, but the amount of assets I would have to make would be too much for a game I wanted to finish in a couple of months. (The fishing story was a fishing mini-game, and other stories/minigames had to be cut/saved for an expanded version) I really thank you for your insight, it was really great advice, so if I ever do the expanded version I'll be implementing a lot of what you said. I have a lot of ideas to work on, but I need to see if people like this small version before I risk the amount of work I would have to do. And again thank you for playing and for the content that you make, I really enjoy watching your videos while I work. Until next time!

This game reminds me a bit of this Japanese urban legend where there's a secret channel that every night at a certain time lists people who are going to die that day.

27:40 Seeing ManlyBadassHero in the thank-you credits is a nice touch. especially considering the devs put his name there manually. goes to show just how many game he's played. well deserved thanks.

Imagine if the "person" watching the channels was really the grandpa's ghost. As punishment for escaping the eye entity, he has to watch what happens to his family. He can influence events to try to save them but ultimately he is helpless to stop it. Even when he does manage to change something (Jorge living another day) it only benefits the entity. Excluding the petty revenge against the grandpa, I wonder why it hunts down people and turns them into husks. If the victims stay inside it then doesn't that get annoying after a while with all those voices?

16:10 the "DON'T DO IT, DENJI" had me ROLLING ( in tears )

A TV about people who are about to die? Are we sure this isn't the Midnight Channel?

pixelated horror games never fail me when it comes to its style and unique concepts

Manly getting his own easter eggs is awesome!

Okay, here's my shot at the timeline with Jorge as the main focus, if anyone has a more accurate hypothesis or noticed I missed something please comment (tl;dr at bottom) ; -Channel 23 is the earliest in the timeline where we see the gentleman dancing with his decaying wife/ so. (The wife is the aunt of Jorge, the reason for the pink hair is that it was artificially colored.) The demon was either slowly sapping her vitality and this was their last dance before she died or the guy danced with her corpse as some form of grief -Channel 304 is next, with the death of Jorge's aunt, Grandpa noticed the evil surrounding her death and prayed vehemently to the deity which ironically enough probably staved off the demon's attack because... -Channel 22 Grandpa's health has deteriorated and he's on his deathbed surrounded by loved ones; Grandma, GrandUncle (Grandpa's brother) GrandAunt (Grandpa's sister-in-law, note the tanned skin), Jorge's Father and mother (brown hair from father (brown hair is important) hair length from mother). It's here that we learn that Grandpa escaped the torment from the demon by dying of natural causes but the demon is quite prideful and after killing the pink hair woman (Jorge's aunt/ Grandpa's daughter) he set his target on grandpa but because of divine intervention for who knows how many years, Grandpa was the one to get away and now he's going to hammer down on this family until there is no one else, not even loved ones, starting with... -Channel 6 After an 18 year+ time skip the demon strikes, killing the now-aged gentleman from channel 23, but because he had married in, he wasn't devoured/drained and kept as a trophy -Channel 15 We see a man fishing, and at first, glance just looks like a simple night fishing channel but here we see one Jorge enjoying an anxiety-free activity (the brown hair and receding hair line are clues, if you noticed how the older generation males hair look, they're basically bald on top) that is until the demon attacks him by possessing a fish because, in a rush to destress and as seen in ch 8's first run and ch 304, Jorge doesn't really believe in the deity's blessing to the extent of his Grandpa's, which is his undoing. *can be swapped with ch 8* - Channel 8 On the first run (seeing as it's an early channel) you are now Jorge who's in his late 20's early 30s with a strong case of anxiety and you go about his day until you don't pray and show respect to the deity who in turn doesn't save you from getting hit by a truck, ironically this is the good end, but not the canon ending. The canon ending are you properly pray and show respect which leads to some of that divine intervention that Grandpa had that saves Jorge from dying from a falling pole, unfortunately that means the demon with patience just has to wait for the one time Jorge doesn't do his ritual and... -Channel 11 After Jorge's death, we cut to a shower scene with a mysterious young woman with long brown hair (clue). This woman is Jorge's younger sister or to be precise one of Jorge's younger sisters. They were not present during ch 22 due to being too young. The arm the demon is holding is Jorge's and her faith is 'handed' to her -Channel 28 , the demon makes haste to another of Jorge's kin, Jorge's second cousin (if you want you can also say another sister, it doesn't change much, but I'm going to say cousin) who is in an argument with her lover/husband. The demon possesses her and with a knife, in hand the lover quickly gets the point, where the demon using one or both of their blood makes his calling call, the eye. *When the demon says it's useless, he's not talking to the lover but to the now possessed woman who's trying not to kill the lover* -Channel 18 We're introduced to Mario and Juan, while not blood-related to Jorge they are acquainted with Jorge's first cousin Marcelo (Claudia's son). Their deaths are because Marcelo wants to be friends and the demon wants to take away any chance of joy this family can have, leaving a calling sign -Channel 32 After a visit from Marco's mother (and/or Juan's) we can see that the demon's activities have been noticed by the public, via the calling signs, Marco joins the family, Claudia's ( fate isn't seen but we can take a gander of what will happen to her -Channel 38-Now we have Jorge's other second cousin (ch 28's brother, note the tanned skin he got from Jorge's Grandaunt) After the date we see all the soul's he's collected; Jorge, top right (notice that his left arm is being blocked by a tree and that it was a left arm that held the towel from channel 11), Pink hair, middle (notice her hair isn't stark white, showing that it was artificially colored), an unnamed female possibly ch 28 (no person died wearing a pink dress that was shown but wouldn't put it passed the demon to set up the scene for the last victim of Canela, after all, he loves inducing trauma). Channel 11 woman, still wearing only a towel. Marcelo, mid left, hat and attire matches. and the latest victim, he died happily, I guess? -Channel 42 We have the daughter of Ch 28, the only one to have both parents dead in front of her, though her brother wasn't present. My guess is that Grandpa was put into Ricky to guide her away from evil, but Amelia watched Monster Inc and was sympathetic to the demon and it cost her. So tells the last victim of Canela -Channel 13 We finish this timeline with the last remaining jojo, Ricardo. Having his whole family wiped out in a short time, he just wants to get away from it all and start life anew in Laurel, unfortunately for him the demon also wants to make a fresh start, and what better way to make a fresh start then ending your last project ch 23->304->22->6->158->11->28->18->32->38->42->13

"I feel like I'd have a lot of chemistry with a giant black tendril eye demon." Manifesting this for both of us.

I think it’s hilarious when something supposed to be scary happens and Manly’s just like ‘…okay?’

_How does your garden grow?_ Hopefully not like that. The little teddybear crying kind of got me. The little girl was so stupidly trusting. I liked how the stories were related. The dev has interesting ideas and I liked the presentation of this. Aww it was nice to see the thank you to you MBH in the credits. :) You are the secret master!!

26:12 Everytime I see scribbly, mono colour mocap, I always think of the FAITH series. It was that good and memorable of a horror game.

This was interesting! I like that channels were telling an overarching story that ties to each other.

MY GOD THE CHARACTERS DIDN'T HAVE TO BE SO SYMPATHETIC NOW I FEEL SO BAD FOR THEM DYING

"I don't like you." "STOP RESISTING"

4:57 plot twist: instead of 304 it was actually saying hOE

Always good to see more from this developer. For a smaller project, I still really enjoyed this. At first every channel seeming unconnected until you begin to connect the dots and piece things together worked quite well. The secret channels are a nice Easter egg too. I'd certainly be interested in a longer, more fleshed out version if the dev pursued the idea.

20:22 Wow his date really sucked the life out of him Also was happy that the developer ended up getting the MBH reference in as part of the secrets knowing that he'd probably find them all, let out a chuckle seeing it in the end

“Look ma I’m on t.v.” - famous last words

I remember when Manly’s channel was a lot smaller, so it still warms my heart whenever a game gives a shoutout to this channel. Congrats manly on all the growth! :D

I am dying at the ending where he says "Who do you think you are? ManlyBadassHero?"

I love how manly plays the best indie horror games then the creators come and watch him play the game they made it's so wonderful

The way he pronounced Jorge as George, adorable

I always find it really wholesome whenever a game developer references or specially mentions manlybadasshero in their games. He's earned every shout out and every subscriber including me. I'm happy for him. 💯 ✨

the fish at 9:09 looks like hes about to drop some sick lines

youd think to choose a diffrent path or call animal control if you see the exact same dog coming closer everyday

i love pixelated horror games sm theyre so entertaining fr

22:27 "I can't bear this" omg my sides

I remember this one horror game a long time ago where there was a TV headed demon of some sort that killed a family. This reminded me a bit of that.

can't believe that Manly would reveal his crippling anime addiction on a date in a horror game.

the dude dancing with the woman’s corpse really reminded me of that one vocaloid song necrophile’s bride

The egg cooking scene unnerved me with suspense .I really dug the vibe/aesthetic.

I feel if this did get fleshed out to a full game, I would like to see the story expanded out to anthology and to have the nameless eyeball plant monster move to multiple towns across generations and the player can uncover the secret behind it.

I think with the blooming flower situation, the more ppl you watch die, the more it grows, leading to it’s blooming.

I think this is an interesting concept, I'm rooting for Maldo to be able to remake this game with more time and better assets, maybe with a small team.

Holy shit, the Midnight Channel

Wait... is this tv just tuned to the news all the time for the last 3 years? Jokes aside, I'm getting a World of Horror vibe like this could be an expanded mystery. Or maybe it really is just locked to the 24 hour news channel.

Channel 6 is like that Stephen King short story where there's a polaroid camera that only produces pictures of a menacing dog, and with each shot it gets a little closer.

Bro Manly is the reason why I’m not bored on weekends. Anyways great job as always!

I loved that part when the channel 319 said "Who you think you are?, Manlybadasshero" really clever detail

“too many cooks” lmfao a joy as always, thank you.

This was honestly really, really good - the channel based gameplay really works, in ways I can hardly describe - the quick little hits just make it feel so good, and seem so expandable, it is ^*^

I remember Salazar House. It was a bit rough around the edges, but still an enjoyable game. Good to see the developer has improved quite a bit since then

This game really reminds me of a simplified version of 'Do not feed the monkeys', which ate WAY too many hours of my life.

I just love the deadpan voice. There's something comedic about it with horror games, I'm glad I found this channel so long ago

17:53 "YOU UGLY PIG!!" That made me laugh a lot

If you really think about it this entity isn't necessarily malicious as you see in the end, the family appear to be existing and their consciousnesses are preserved in the entity kinda like the infinite tsukyomi

This is such a cool game! I hope they make more episodes!

24:38 reminds me of “I’m tired grandpa, well that’s too damn bad”

Soon as I saw Channel 8 I just knew that it was going to be a truck, I don’t know how but as soon as I saw them waking up my first thought was ‘Yep, Kagerou Daze’

18:13 I'm pretty sure this was a joke, but it was relatable. I would be pretty happy on a date with an eye demon, shadowy tendrils and all...

Hey manly! I think a game that you would really like is Sam and Max: Hit the Road! It’s always so comforting watching your videos : ) thank you for continuing to post!

Great episode and what a cool game! A calm relaxing watch.

This just sounds like The Midnight Channel

Those sounds at 4:57 are sooo satisfying and his acting is also satisfying everything with this game is satisfying

Suddenly the midnight channel

22:27 "i cant bear this" 💀💀💀

This was super cool I would love to see it expanded i really wanna know what happened to the guy who was dancing with the dead body also I wonder if the teddy bear was some sort of acutal guardian angel

“You are playing in a town where everyone is cursed to die” As opposed to the other towns where everyone is immortal lol

*I love this Channel Manly Kun!*

Imagine he voiced and narrated this entire thing except little parts when he did speak random stuff,and we just don’t notice and we think he’s reading

The fish jumpscare got me good 😂💀

Man I'm disappointed this game doesn't feature the revolutionary "Zapping" system prominently featured in the original resident evil 2.

14:33 Bro, the TV in the child's TV is the crime he just witnessed but the aftermath of it since there are white lines to show that there was a dead body there. XD 15:00 I knew it! It's all connected!

Great gameplay and a very entertaining game, I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing.

Manly, you should play "Like Veins Beneath the Town," its the third game made by Michaela Thisten, the one who made "The Well Speaks To Me" and "They Watch From The Walls".

Manly: You get to watch a cursed TV where you see people about to die... Alright, let's turn this TV on. Me: How 'bout not? 😖

Love watching you manly

Hey manly! Just wanna say congrats on the success! Been here since 300k smth and sunbed recently, like how I made my account. Again a big fan, congrats!

Love ur vids man keep the good work up!👍

this is super duper random but the bgm at 12:50 is actually Chopin's Waltz No. 19 in A Minor !! i love finding classical pieces in games lol, like Waltz No. 2 in that one rat king game

That's both a pretty cool idea for a game and twist

I swear manly voice is just so soothing and amazing fr 💅

Marvelous video manly.

Before I watched I was like "it would be ironic if at the end the player will look at themselves" And I'm watching it right now

22:04 Ever since Fate Stay and the scene with the kid and Bluebeard I really don’t trust any “kind monsters” of the tentacle kind with children

A large black blob monster with randomly placed eyes, mouths, and tentacles coming out of it is a Shoggoth. I thought everyone knew that? Does no one read their Lovecraft anymore?!

I love how he still makes videos to this day

Keep up the great content!

I love the "who do you think you are ManlyBadassHero?!" dialogue XD

i like that horror game. it has a nostalgic feeling to another one i liked as a kid

The "..kay" after seeing the face was so funny to me for some reason

I just like interactive game TVs in general, I enjoyed Panic! on Sega CD and things like Warioware, visual stimulation with some form of interaction. I do like the Adventure clue hunting structure of the channels in this game as a way to break up the passive linearity interactive TV can often turn into historically speaking.

27:38 when Manly got special thanks twice

I love how it just interconnects to different channels. This'd be great with expansion.

Nothing like spending the night watching TV with our dear friend, ManlyBadassHero. I'm sure nothing evil will occur.

I like that the whole shebang is all connected and other channels can influence other channels as well.

Didn't he forget to go back to channel 666? I thought he was supposed to finish the story then go back to talk with the demon?

I love how channel 38 (the date one) had Prelude in C BWV 846 playing in the background

I always tell myself “one more episode” but the next minute it’s be king MIDNIGHT

At 20:27, there is an easter egg. At the left side in the back, there is a man with a tuxedo. Which might be the man who said this dog keeps barking at me. Because he also had one..

This is kinda like Darkwood; the woods putting everyone into a dream while it consumes them.

This man is a legend

I love your content
