Welcome to the I'm Writing You A Comment Club, how I'm Writing You A Comment are ya?

Side note: You're not the new boyfriend, no. You're the new tenant where Laura used to live. That's why Larry's letters are still there. That's also how he can get in so easily -- remember, "I'm living at my girlfriend's house"...

How romantic, having someone send you strange notes at night, surely nothing bad will happen, right?

I can't tell if Larry is a real person or a ghost but that final letter saying you never cared about me felt like a reply to Larry from the murdered girlfriend which makes me think that Larry is being haunted by that girlfriend and she's leaving the old letters around to warn the player.

I love the visual reaction to the scare at 13:24. No sound from Manly but that mouse spasm told me all I needed.

Fun fact: Manly’s observation about how the key to getting the good ending is not volunteering too much compromising information about yourself? Same principle applies for internet safety (and opsec in general, tbh). Watch out for what mentions of your daily routine or what you do around town could reveal about how to find you when you’re talking to strangers online, for whatever this comment from a stranger online is worth. P;

This protag is like: “Oh I have a creep who broke into my house, and Im standing next to the exit. Better go inside where he is and wander in the dark looking for fuses”

Takes a "im living inside your walls" to a whole different level.

It’s interesting that Larry’s favorite book is the telltale heart since that book has someone watching someone before murdering them

Honestly, Larry was SO creepy to me. It truly hits different, when you knew someone like Larry (not a monster or a some sort of serial killer obviously, but the manipulation hit right in the heart). So honestly, some topics really hit home in a bad way.

Game: evil thing breaks into your house after sending you letters KZfaq: damn slenderman and his page finding again

The first time we see Larry, I love how Manly's mouse shakes... He does not scream, but clearly gets scared. It is so strangely comforting, knowing that he got scared with us :"³

Game: find the fuse and- Manly, a sensible person: OUt of the house! Edit: also, Manly scolding the protag for not making smart decisions 😂😂😂 29:40

Spoiler territory here: It seems like in the good ending Thomas figured out that something is very wrong with his pen pal and lied about being in the same situation to appease supernatural Larry, since Thomas didn't write "sincerely" in his last letter. And in the bad ending he writes that he was never in such a situation. The only thing I'm wondering about is Larry's last note, something along the lines of: "You speak to me about loss? You NEVER cared about me", which is a direct contradiction to his last letter. What did he mean by that?

It seems like Larry is a serial killer or even a spirit who’s just targeting random people. It seems like he killed Laura and her boyfriend and after was haunted by their spirits which drove him mad with guilt. In the last letter of the good ending he mentions that he’s written to a lot of people but no one seemed to calm his guilt except for Thomas. The last letter after that seems to be from Laura to Larry, as there’s no signature smiley face in that letter.

I'm surprised by how much the letters vary, that's a great touch to make your responses feel more important despite the short length of the game. Thanks to the surreal apartment, this actually managed to have some solid atmosphere once we started getting Larry making creepy sounds.

13:16 The way he stood still. He knew. I knew. We all knew what was gonna happen.

I was totally prepared for the jumpscare and still jumped. Man, what a great atmosphere this game creates

I noticed in the second note he list favorite things that are opposite to "yours", as mentioned in the alternative reply you didn't send. Curious. Also, I get the feeling that our friend doesn't understand that the whole point of a pen pal is that you DON'T meet them. Guess he didn't get the memo.

I’ve only ever had a pen pal once, and that was in second grade, and *that* was because it was part of the school’s curriculum. I wonder how normal pen pals meet each other. Is there like a pen pal tinder or something?

It started out sad/wholesome, man's just wanted a friend to talk with

That piano "bit" made me jump. Damn even tho this game ain't that high graphic, it still sets the atmosphere of "silence" and it gives feelings to the player of uneasy and anxiety.

There is an interesting story called "The Space Above The Closet" that also uses the concept of swapping notes with an unseen person. Dr. Creepen narrated it on KZfaq if you're interested.

I'm a little worried that Larry's laugh sounds like Manly's.

manlys reaction to the first jumpscare made my day and tbh i dont think ive seen him jump like that lmao

Fun Fact: At 23:01, the tune Larry knocks on the door is "It's a Small World After All." Just found this quite interesting, in case anyone else was wondering. Edit: It also appear at 34:22 I believe.

Nah this is the shit I love about this guy, he fucking tanks any horror game or jump scare like it’s nothing. Gotta give it to you man

The question of "Do you believe in ghosts?" in one version of the bad ending and the note in the good ending "You never cared for me." seem to imply that Larry is being haunted by his girlfriend that that the notes scattered around the house are a warning to the player. The final note in the good ending is likely from her, directed to Larry and declaring that she's not done with him.

I made the mistake of leaning closer to my monitor just before the jumpscare. Made a noise I can only describe as "the yelp of a small dog being startled awake"

_This person is an upstanding citizen"_ Yeah... they're up and standing right in your house. The creepiest part was the commentary from MBH - "just want to get in your house, smell your sheets" It's exactly why you have a security system and nope, not sharing info about it lol. _spoilers follow_ The game's lighting and visual design was wonderful. The lights made those shadows absolutely deeper - combined with the strange dimensions of the rooms and furniture gave a very unsettling feeling. The smiley face worked well to be scary. I think Larry murdered his ex and maybe her new bf - but I also wonder with all the ghost talk if you are now living in his gf's old apartment and his ghost appears to you, writes letters, kills you bc he killed himself as well? Great job to the dev and to MBH for creeping me out with his voice!

14:39 😂😂😂 The way you slowly turned! You knew something was behind you!

The silence of an empty house is the scariest soundtrack you could have

"you mailed the letter in the morning" to... where? didn't he pass the note under our door??

the visual design for this game is so cool, it feels so uncanny and unsettling

I love how you commit to a slow turn! Really puts you in suspension!

I wanted something to watch over breakfast, and thought "Hey, Manly has a pleasant voice. Let's watch one of his play throughs!" ...twelve and a half minutes in and I decided I don't need a shot of adrenaline to compliment my morning coffee today. Mostly because I was starting to anxiously grip my knife and I don't need to be accidentally stabbing my father because he poorly times walking behind me or something. 🤣🤣🤣

29:50 I have great fondness for Manly’s “distressed ranting” voice.

Never give up in life. Like Thomas telling Larry to stop sending letters so late. He has work in the morning and needs his sleep.

Honestly that first letter just made me feel bad. I also like the design of ¨monster¨ It has a interesting style to it! I also kinda want to give it hug... It just looks huggable :/ edit: I watched the video fully now I must say I really like it :) I enjoy the style to the game and especially ¨larrys¨ design. All the letters must have taken a while to make! For the first game for this developer it a great start and I cant wait for more from them :D

When manly said “hippity hoppity” my mind went strait to “your soul is now my property”

The horror feels is actually great, as it's supported by the lighting. I always love the part where manly make commentaries about the stupid decision the protag chose. Great work as always, Manly

At least now I'm sure my pen pal is reading my letters

I wonder, can you just walk backwards past the guy with the mask? Because the game ends when you turn around.

yknow, i think ghost person in protag's house is actually laura. the last note you get is from her, asking if protag "knows anything of loss"

The creator of this game has some good feel for atmosphere. Also the design is really creepy. The only thing I had the issue with is the flashlight at the endgame part could be a bit brighter, but that's just my opinion

Well that’s kind of cute… if you’re weird.

It's kinda hard to make new friends when you're always murdering them

Man your voice is so calming

I just noticed that the protagonist's foot steps have the same timing as a clock. Cool detail.

Holy cow the knocks @ 4:22, it's my late bedtime and that audio had me getting up from a half-sleep state like: Who the hell is knocking at this hour? Sounded like my actual door. Then Manly saves me and answers the door for me in game. What a pal!

I like how the stand at the door kind of looks like Larry from afar because of the lighting, pretty unnerving.

So he writes his first reply and then it says he mails it... But how? Doesn't look like that letter from our "friend" had a return address on it.

Not gonna lie. I'm 25 full time job and all, lost interest in KZfaq except for a few meme videos. I was feeling nostalgic for a month and then you showed up on my feed, you remind me of a time where I used to watch KZfaqrs like chaotic Monki or Cry or markipliers play video games late at night and I just listened to their voices... You earned yourself a solid subscriber congrats keep up the good work !!!

I’m I the only one that lives this man’s voice? It’s so… calming somehow

You know, Larry, it's customary to share information about yourself first before asking for equivalent information about someone else...

This is the most erratic and sincere I've ever heard manly in a video.

This one really did it for me, great atmosphere and creepy concept

I was so confused on how he was lonely but living with his girlfriend, and then I thought I was safe from the letter man. Only to find out HE WAS THE LETTER MAN!

i never knew a game about having a pen pal can be scary

JFC putting the fuse in scared me more then anything in the game. Why was that put in with the force of ZUES.

When Manly starts speaking like that 29:38, it always has me cracking up lmao

13:06 manly: I just love the night air. 13:16 game: go upstairs and write a reply 13:23 *he turns around* 13:24 Larry: hello there But he really did get scared the camera says it all

I really don't know if I saw a news about a killer sending letters to his victim and also at the current scenario I would continue to mail him letters .

The knock in 23:02 sounded like the tune "It's a small world after all"

These first person horror games are my favorite to watch

I think the Ronnie Milsap song, "Stranger in my House" would make a great theme song for this game...

I watch all of your videos but this one is genuinely one of the scariest for me 😭😭😭😭 I wouldn’t be able to play this one on my own!! Lol

Ah yes, Manly playing the classic Slender: The Eight Pages yes.

A pen pal inside your house... is that like a friend? Can you eat it?

18:28 I didn't know you did asmr Manly

Love your sense of humor! never gets old

haven't finished the video yet but, from the thumbnail, pen pal entity looks kinda cute

Love your content!

I had two competing theories as I was watching, the first came from the fact the first note was in your trashcan before your first reply as well as the hint of supernatural to the stuff going on. Anyway the first theory was that you're Larry and that you had a mental break after killing your Ex and her new BF and developed a new personality named Thomas and now you're writing letters between the two personalities as a way to cope and as explains why the letters Larry wrote to his Ex are in your house. Either because you are Larry or that the smiley ghost is leaving them because it's your Ex getting revenge. The second theory is similar to the first except you're an innocent dragged into it. Larry killed his Ex and her new BF and is now looking for someone to talk to but you ended up killed by the smiley ghost Ex... Not gonna lie, fell asleep writing this comment and lost my train of thought so yeah... whatever.

How the game was made is suprisingly well done! It's like giving you a sense that what you should and shouldnt do, and of course stranger danger. Overall its an experience that teaches you a lesson at the end if you know what I mean by that

Manly, you sound almost exactly like a character named Soren Arkwrite from a Dungeons and Dragons podcast I listen to. It's called Dark Dice, and If you're into D&D at all you should give it a try! It's a horror campaign and it has an amazing story.

I've been here since ~400k subs and you've done so good, congrats!

Those stairs felt like they were made for jump scares

Thi sis giving me serious Beautiful Paper Smile vibes....love it

Hearing Manly raise his voice at Larry looking through the window was prob the best moment of the video

Meanwhile, in the description: *Slender: The Eight Pages*

Day 89 of asking Manly to play A Cold Love Story through KZfaq comments

I don’t care what manner of demon stalker serial killer it is, if it’s living in MY house it better be paying rent!

I watch a lot of scary let’s plays, honestly. I watched this one on my phone while I made tea with headphones on, and walked down my dark hallway into my dark bedroom right when Manly began his outro, and wow, I had a really deep sense of dread right before I turned the lights on. First time in a while a scary let’s play spilled into rl fear 👉🏼👈🏼😆

New concept so kinda nice fresh idea but I love how manly always brings some logic to these

*Dear Manly Kun, I love you with all my heart. Please be my Boyfriend.* *-From, Void*

No one: Every single horror game house owner: Make thier house big but having a serious bad light souce in it

Honestly I really appreciate when a player chooses to go for the bad ending first, it makes me feel better when things are left on a more positive note at the end :)

I didn't think I'd be so early. Gonna put this in watch later for now 👍

This vid has been recommended to me since last night i might as well watch this cursed thing 💀💀💀

Man the environment in this game is so well done!! I love the surreal monotone sort of design for it all, it makes you feel very on edge and exposed.

Awesome channel awesome narration voice I get motion sickness playing video games but I find them intriguing so it’s a win win with your videos 👍🏻thx have a awesome day

8:55 I didn't realise the knocking was coming from the video and I actually got up and went to open the door expecting my dad to be there, home from work but then no one was there. Gave me the chills when that happened haha, I was really tired and I didn't realise.

It’s hilarious how at one point Manly just gets angry at the protag for not getting out of the house that’s going to get him killed. I think that’s amazing XD

Thanks for playing.

Receives a letter late at night from a stranger who knows your first name. The reaction: oh boy I better write a response. Logic: everyone shut and be quiet Its 2am and I got work in 2 hours.

I love your videos they are so calming in a way🧐

This was good for a first horror game, I throughly enjoyed it

Heard the door unlock while watching this and dang near panicked. Thankfully it was just my dad lol

So… the only door they have within the whole house is only the front door?
