Welcome to the Behind You Club how Behind You are ya? *Note* game is a stand alone sequel to another game I played linked and in the second half of this video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb9ng9yB1NzXoaM.html

With how violent the protagonist is when dunking the trash bags in the dumpster, I'm surprised she lost the fight with the cryptid tbh

This game is unintentionally hilarious. 💀 Ashley sassily swinging the trash bags down the hall before just full on slamming them into the dumpster like she had a personal vendetta against them killed me harder than the entity.

"are you the entity or are you a guy with poor fashion sense" is fucking gold 😂

The way Ashley power walks/sprints with conviction and throws away the trash, I was lowkey hoping she'd be able to have that same energy fighting back the cryptid

The scariest part of this game is the fact that there is a security camera in the bathroom.

Whoever voiced the girl, THEY HAD BILLS TOO PAY.

If only Ashley knew the forbidden technique of carrying four bags she could've survived.

I got in trouble in my younger years and had to do community service as a janitor's assistant at school and the courthouse. Janitors usually have a cart that they can load all the trash at once into, so not to make so many trips. I have yet to see a game actually incorporate that.

I like how this game uses the fixed camera angles to play with dramatic irony. In a first person or more traditional third person game, when something scary happens but the player character doesn't react appropriately (i.e. immediately getting the hell out of there), it can weaken suspension of disbelief and take players out of the story. But when the monster is only visible to the player, while the character they control is clueless, it avoids that problem while also making you feel utterly powerless to prevent what you know is coming. Works well in this game, and I'd love to see more games play with that sort of stuff.

Can't believe Ashley didn't win that fight with her powerful downswing

Dev here! Glad you came back to episode 2, fun watch as always. I have fixed the ending jumpscare, quite embarrassing that got through 😅

"Entity capability test" i.e. just letting it loose on a bunch of wagies in a call center Truly one of the uses of goverment funding of all time

I will be perfectly honest. When I worked as a security guard in a warehouse after hours I'd honestly make emergency plans for this sort of thing. Being alone in a huge building does things to you.

"Please don't tell the employees we had a break in" Yeah, uh.. if you're wondering about why the floor around the breaker box is covered in burn marks from sparks and the breaker box suddenly looks way newer than it used to, don't worry. It just, uh, does that sometimes.

The jumpscare made me yell so loud Ill bet my neighbors heard it. I was trying to figure out why there were more corpses on the floor and the 3 survivors were chill about it.

How does something so curb stompable have such confidence running at people in clear light😂

The entity attacked her out of fear of being dunked into a bin

You know, this game reminds me of Manly's observation that these monsters always go after working class people.

"Ashley doesn't know the quad bag technique. The forbidden arts". love your videos manly.

they need to maek a sequel where its an alternate universe and ashley uses her 40 mph speedwalk and godlike trash bag swing to obliterate the monster

This game looks pretty well-made, all things considered. The animations are a bit janky (Especially the walk cycles); Even old PS1 games had at least decent walk cycles. But the voice acting, particularly Ashley's, is _on point._ Towards the end, it really does sound like she's scared out of her mind. The sound design seems pretty good, and the PS1-era art style does wonders for the horror. (Spoiler warning for the "read more" section) What I think is most disturbing about this entity is the fact that it's essentially doing this for sport. _Purely_ for sport, too; judging by the bodies left behind, it doesn't eat any of its victims - hell, it doesn't even seem to try. Which implies that it doesn't require food in the traditional sense, so the only thing it stands to gain from this bloodbath is the pure enjoyment. Monsters killing people is nothing out of the ordinary in the horror genre, but usually the monster is either mindless, or only as smart as an animal. But it's crystal clear that this thing is pretty damn smart. For one, it actually seems to _like_ the fact that an organization is tracking it, as the game straight-up says it "permitted" the cameras to continue rolling. Second, it knew how to pick up and operate a telephone, and did so with the express permission of distracting its victim. It was also able to cut the power to an entire building, while somehow leaving the security cameras operational. And then there's the threatening email about Ashley being its "happy place", complete with a creepy face. Doing this didn't distract or even hinder its victim, so it's yet another indication that the entity *LOVES* what it does to people. And given the rampage it goes on near the end, it seems that it could've killed Ashley and her co-workers whenever it wanted to, but deliberately delayed the payoff so it could savor the mounting terror and desperation of its prey. Seriously, this thing is on _Freddy Kreuger_ levels of pure fucking evil. And the Crisis agents somehow manage to be just as evil as the monster, if not more so, as they knew these people were in grave danger, and just sat back and watched. Hell, the agent posing as a 911 operator deliberately blared a sound that she knew would get Ashley killed. Granted, Ashley was probably doomed anyway, but the emergency noise didn't help matters in the slightest. And then there's that agent casually having a smoke as he listens to the workers getting torn to shreds. And lastly, the Crisis agents portray Ashley as a mass shooter - Ashley was not only a mother, but a _single_ mother, so just imagine what her kid(s) would go through. Going into foster care while being convinced their birth mother was an unhinged psycho. Am I reading too much into this? Eh, probably. But it's what I'm here for :P

Finally, a game where checking the trashcan is a main objective.

Manly's voice is such a good way to clam down before bed.

Man, the 3-letter agencies would never do something sinister to innocent people. Especially the ATF.

Seeing how this ends, reminds me of the scp foundation. Like whatever scouts they have to track down these entities or anomalies and test out the nature of the subject before capturing it. Considering how they tried to cover it up and with how they set up the cameras to test it out, they pretty much intended to sacrifice ashley from the get go. Yeah this why taking up extra cleaning odd jobs after work while being totally alone is so not worth it, you get late, youre alone and its totally dark out and next thing ya know theres some weird monster stalking you as an evening snack.

i love how the entity is smart enough to open ms paint and draw a threatening message

If only Ashley had saved her pent up aggression, she may have been able to fight off the entity. How sad that she released it all on those trash bags.

Monster sightings: Scuttling across hall in background 7:43 Spider walking into frame, stares at camera, then spider walks out 9:16 Being it's creepy spider walking self outside the window 11:36 MS paint monster face on the computer screen: 13:09/13:10 (the last half second of 13:09) In doorway moving away 15:14/15:15 (Last half second of 15:14) In the darkness on right side of frame 15:19 In darkness at the end of hall 20:44/20:45 (See other notes) Living it's best life out in the light and in the open: 23:28/23:29 (See above) Coming to get the people who cornered themselves 23:42/23:43 (Ditto) **SUPER UNFORTUNATE spiderwalking butt is something that I wish I didn't see. JUMPSCARE to the face 24:24/24:25 (You know the drill but to save your heart - last half second of 24:24) Entity Debrief: 24:51

Her quick walk looks like someone just accelerated the footage, she dunk the trash like an angry teen forced to do chores, I almost expected her to throw the plates ultimate frisbee style XD The entity's just having fun. Imagine it taking selfies like "B*tch didn't even see me lol" "Felt spooky, might clap some guys later." The more I think about it, the sillier it gets 😂

Ashley is a prime example of someone who values their workplace way, WAY more than their workplace values them. The end result is pretty much what you'd expect. All in all, though? While a bit tropey, and a bit on the frustrating side? This wasn't bad, especially when compared to that awful dumpster-fire Pinocchio game.

Good ol’ Manly, always releasing a video before I go to bed!

The responder knew what was happening. She said 'should I do this' before making loud sounds on the phone to lure the monster to kill Ashley. Well, I wonder if she can live with what she did.

A huge improvement over the first game. I think the fixed camera angles work a lot better with the premise, they add to the clinical, neutral observer we know recorded all of this. Pretty brutal too, especially their cover story.

Hoodie guy was in the first game. They say he's insignificant but I'm actually pretty sure he's our whistleblower (this was mentioned in the first game that if Valerie isn't found more tapes would be released.)

I really like the lighting and shadow rendering in this game. The highlight reflection on the ground is pretty realistic. And the win 95 desktop brings childhood memories.

You somehow make horror games 99.9% less scary 😂

Manly can map the backrooms like a pro but forgets where cafeteria is 😣

With the strength she had dunking those bags she could have easily punched the monster XD

Night 2: *finds menacing note newly written on computer* *doesn't call police or leave* *investigates power outage rather than getting out*

Considering the lady didn't know how to stack 3 plates let alone carry 4 bags of trash, it's no wonder she was stupid enough to go for the phone instead of the door. Unintentionally hilarious game

*Unholy creature of hell terrorizing people* Those dudes who were still working: "These bills ain't paying themselves."

The cris*s actor angle is definitely an interesting twist on this genre. The powerful imagery of all the office workers doing their jobs right besides a bloody corpse reminds me a lot of Brazil with that kind of bureaucratic apathy. Or even Scanner Darkly. This idea that you're a cog doing profoundly evil things whose machinations are opaque and uncertain. Although the story itself fails to embody that theme of paranoia and resentment of authority which the Scanner Darkly movie pulled off so shrewdly and is arguably the emotional core of the cris*s actor trope itself.

Man's played SO many horror games, he is JADED to them all. Nothing scares him anymore. Not even clowns

I was half-expecting Ashley to slam dunk the dishes into the sink like she did with the trash bags

What I don't get is that prior employees are willing to tie the bags for you but not take them out, and that seemingly a regular office employee is in charge of clearing said bags. The office space is so orderly to do that but cannot hire a dedicated cleaner? I get that this is probably intended, but no one including the employee questioned this?

Props to the voice actress. You could hear the desperation and terror in her voice on the phone to 911.

"Are you the entity or are you just a guy with a poor fashion sense?" DAMN

True ending: Ashley just slams a trashbag on the monster and breaks it in half

I was so focused on the bugged-out office workers at the end that the jumpscare caught me completely off-guard

Love your videos manly. Your voice is so calming.

Voice acting for Ashley is absolutely primo. Great idea by this author! Can't help but feel that it might have been a better animation than a game, though. Still, terrific work and I loved it.

24:26 THAT JUMPSCARE SCARED ME SO BAD I THREW MY PHONE , I'VE NEVER BEEN THAT SCARED

They really need to make this into one long-play game. Different entities and different scenarios. Maybe nonlinear and keep the hybrid second-person/third-person POV. PS: Without giving out specific names, you need to tell us of those true stories about your friends who worked alone and it ended violently.

First five minutes this lady got to take you out more than any of your fans. Heartbreaking.

Soon as I heard call center I knew it was gonna be a horror story. I like this arg series just like fears to fathom with them being created based on stories from reddit both real and fiction.

15:14 has got to be the funniest moment of this for me 😂 thank you for making horror games feel safe to watch while never disrespecting them and the craft, Manly, I love that about you

As someone who used to do after hours cleaning let me tell you that it was a really comfy job for someone who love working alone. As long as you did all the obvious things like emptying the garbage cans no one would complain if you didn't vacuum that day. Lots of time to sit on your phone looking at memes.

I can't get over how she slam the trash bag so violently

Manly makes the best bedtime videos

Im sorry but 23:28 made me laugh my ass off so much. From the strut down to the pose and scream, it looked like a comedy bit.

The government wanting to use a giant, unsubtle monster will never not be funny.

_MBH gives a little laugh with the creature jumpscare_ You laughed, but I jumped for sure! I thought the creature was very freaky walking on all fours. I liked the use of the cameras. I wanted to have even more 'under the table' or odd angled cameras to catch the creature watching the victim, stalking them. I felt really bad for Ashley being blamed as a psycho killer of everyone else, but it's not out of the realm of possibility somehow. Well done and look forward to more creature features!

I don't know if it was intentional, but the potential characterization through animation was great! She really doesn't like her job lol

Every time, Ashley is like, “FUCK these garbage bags!”

I love how the fixed camera angle lets them scare the player without scaring the character so you can keep working without it being a weird idea

Manly, knows how to make a horror game more funny and fascinating ❤

Love you manly. Love your once a year community posts. You are truly the best kind of youtuber

It's almost 4 a.m. where I live and the storm woke up my puppy, so this is perfect timing ❤ I'm going to be up for a while anyway

You most likely won't see this but I wanted to say that it's been a long while since I last watched Manly, although just a few months but still he publishes a lot. Due to being busy with college and other projects but coming back to finally sit back and relax to watch your videos are an awesome feeling after a long month even if now is just my only time to relax till I get back to college tomorrow.

I paused right before the jumpscare to see if the living employees were bugged and then unpaused and immediately got jumpscared. God damnit lol

Being a janitor myself, I have needed to fight something else other then a third leg.

Damn McDonald's and a nightly manly video??? Life is good ❤. P.s 100% agree about taking the fear away that's why they shouldn't reveal that part till the end.

The presentation of this game is so solid

i dont have to wake up early to work tomorrow, i can watch as many manly videos as i want, lets gooooooo

This game perspective is SO unique, being a 3rd person point of view watching yourself walk around knowing what’s going to happen to your player character eventually. You know this character is doomed, and has been from the start, but you don’t know WHEN that doom is coming.

Motherfucker that scare got me good, I thought the creature was gonna rip through multiple people at once but turns out it decided to say “wassup chucklefuck”

Right at the start when the main character is walking around reminds me why I love fixed camera games, it looks like the main character is a roomba moving around the office. So goofy and I needed this chuckle today

Tbh, looking at this thing, I can't really imagine it killing off an office full of people. You get one person per leg and just pull.

That monster was lucky that Ashley got distracted. Had she gotten a hold on it, the crawly boi would get smacked against floor harder than those trash bags. Talk about cleaning crew after that

the thing is imagine if Ashley went full ominid/cave-man on the cryptid and bashed its torso multiple times with an fire extinguisher after blinding it with the foam in a adrenalin burst she could have survived in a non cannon(?) secret ending i say this because in real life a mother lifted a car(partialy )to save her kid from under it so ashley swinging a extinguisher like it was a cilindical base ball bat wouldn't be too out there

The real cryptid is the chunky controls and the way she just sort of moonwalks and slams into walls.

4:13 everytime manly makes a joke like that i get a little sad, you're not trash manly

When Manly said "Ashley Johnson" I literally rose from a dead sleep and responded "A family company" according to my wife. I am broken. Help me.

Not enough ppl are talking about the damn feet cam footage in the women's bathroom! No one leaves their phones running for no reason 💀

This is why you don’t be the last one at the office

Yay no night feels complete without a Manly video

I don't believe ashley didn't survive. Look at that power walk. Look at the way she throws the trash. She's the real powerful entity here

You had me at woman's final moments

Ain’t no way they had a live feet cam in the women’s bathroom 💀

ı refuse to believe that a moster that looks like its having a hard time standing is going to be able to take down enemys of the state 💀

Gonna be honest, I never really like these kinds of games where the protagonist dies like how they do in this kind of story. Where the person just happens to be unlucky and thrown into a test a group for some reason is doing.

i believe those 2 guys left working in the end was just a bug bcs even their seats werent under their butts, probably models stuck\glitched or something

Hey Manly, I told my mom on you and she told me to tell you that you're grounded for 2 weeks. So hopefully you use this time to reflect on what you've done and pursue the betterment of yourself. I'll see you back on KZfaq in 2 weeks, so long as you've learned your lesson and stay out of trouble.

9:25 ashley LOOK AT ME. (Im sorry.)

Once again, the true horror is how shoddily this business is run. Also the sus camera placement.

So uh? Are we gonna blame the crisis assistant bc she made an alarm that attracted the entity or...

Love your videos manly 👍

What's y'all time 😭 It's literally 3 am in my country not bedtime I was surprised to see that manly uploaded a video

with how ashley treated those trashbags i'm amazed she didn't beat the entity within an inch of its life
