Welcome to the Locked Club how Locked are ya?

This game clearly was just in the boy's head.... like in Among the Sleep where it's the kid's mind making things look different as there is no way a monster could have gotten all of those things that belonged to Lucy and all the notes pointed to the mom abusing the boy... I think the beast is the mom.

the being trapped in the basement for two years when the monster eats children should have made it obvious it was a big fat trap.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident the sister is long gone. She's apparently been missing for two years, that lie only works because the protagonist is a child. A tragic end for all involved, but some good atmosphere I can appreciate.

Manly: "I think we're fine" Monster around the corner from Manly: "Yep, totally fine."

Think the monster might need a snickers bar

So let's see, the parents knew the kids were disappearing but allowed to be alone day and night, okay got it.

was not expecting the monster to be cheeked up in the end. craziest plot twist

I like how the monster took the time to hang dolls and redecorate the entire house after the jumpscare

This was a good, uncomfortable, unnerving game to play, as an adult, you can see the obvious shadows in between the lines, you can't help but few bad for the young that lack that level of awareness or perception to such things

I understand the undertones of the story, but imagine an 80's Disney-esque monster tiptoeing around and planting keys and creating these puzzles with a giggle.

I was feeling really tense and spooked up until I saw how caked up the monster was 😭

0:33 "ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!"

This game is pretty cool for symbolism, I like when games do that. The monster was either symbolism for the mom, for guilt, or for both and I think that’s really interesting.

It was depressing to see a child being abused when he did nothing wrong, recieving all the blame for tragedies he had no control over. It resonated with me because I had a mother who was very similar, sometimes physically abusive and mentally abusive to an extreme. I was never good enough, so each note filled with hatred was like a blade in the gut. I heard many of those words in my childhood.

The girl sounds like she has a French accent. Since it's a student project, they probably did the voices themselves.

4:35 "x marks the mark spot on this door" LOL thats a cool one ^^

had a feeling it was gonna be the monster mimicking the sister's voice from the start; the game in general had me thinking it was supposed to be a metaphorical thing where the monster is representative of guilt & whatnot, rather than an "actual" monster

"yup im in a monsters basement" you make it sound like its a 9-5

2:06 "Is your children in danger?" I don't know, is they? 😏

"So what kind of accent do you want Lucy to have?" "Yes."

Manly immediately forgetting about the locked clock and then completely missing the noose over the stool 😭 This is a neat game though, I like more symbolic games like this. Student projects are always so fun to, props to the team behind it!

I have no idea what to comment, other than how fun it is to watch Manly having a good time playing games.

You've been kidnapped and locked up in Mother's Basement- same thing basically.

_Poor Louis_ The kid is 6. He's hardly old enough to be _responsible_ for his little sister. Terrible mother, the father was kind but didn't help. Agree I don't think the sister was actually alive either - just enjoyed tricking children and making them feel hopeful. For a student game, it had good atmosphere and a scary monster too!

My brain automatically inserted “You’ve for some ‘splainin’ to do” when Manly said that last Lucy.

Manly this is weird but I always put your videos on before bed, thank you for helping me sleep

Wait "trapped in a monster's basement"? That sounds familiar.

Nice, I got jumpscared just by opening the subscription tab on youtube ahahah

Mum had postpartum depression, never liked Louis, the parents ended up divorcing, mum blames Louis for eveything, girl dissapears, life becomes hell, Louis is probably killed by his mum

Let’s play hide and seek…..No! Cue credits

it starts with hide and seek. I didn’t even finish the video and I know it’s not gonna end well

Yeet the meat because that monster ain’t catching me

The atmosphere is cool and is horror in a more sadness kind of way, due to the abuse, and since the beginning I was thinking, if kids lost are younger than 10 years old, then maybe is not a real monster, is what they perceive.

Biiiiiig amnesia vibes with the puzzles and lore heavy texts, and I looove the Victorian era setting! Even the monster is pretty damn spooky at points :D Very solid horror game!

Spoilers for the game below. Red Flag #1: Lucy has apparently been trapped here for two years, by a monster that specifically eats people. Why is she still alive? Red Flag #2: Getting thrown out the door will apparently be a worse outcome for Lucy than being killed. Red Flag #3: If Lucy is confined to her room as she says she is, and a later note makes it clear that her music box didn't disappear with her, how would she know that it was stolen and a key was put inside it?

i like turtles

Uncle Touchy's puzzle basement. You won't wear a shirt and you'll cry.

80's hide.. and.. seek. Better times.

Personally, I think none of this is real. Why would notes like that be scattered around? It's probably just psychological. The kid might be lost in the forest for real, and there might be an actual boogeyman, but I wouldn't take what we see literally either way. Like all those texts that's supposed to guilt your character? Got to be psychological manifestations. OR, this boogeyman is an expert at psychological torture. Alas, that kind of parent makes me angry. All I can hope is, there will be some sort of justice in the sequel, if the dev is continuing this. Otherwise it's just plain enraging to me. It seems like a lot of work have been put into the game though. The presentation and everything is good, and I like the fact that there actually is reasons for things. All that's left is resolving the family issue, and maybe revealing the truth about the boogeyman/monster, if there is one.

When i see a game gaslight the main character into blaming himself, it makes me very angry. I’m not sure why.

Has a lot of tropes from other horror games. It's kinda cute though.

is anyone else not seeing manly's videos on their home page? also his name no longer shows up when you type "manly" in the search bar. You have to type the full thing and search it, it no longer suggests his channel. is manly like shadowbanned or something, his videos used to be all over my home page and i still watch his stuff daily. so weird youtube like silenced him, at least that what im experiencing

thank you mr manly for uploading

20:40 had to rewatch that part for... research purposes

hes just a widdle hungry. youre not you when your hungry

CONGRATS ON 1000TH PLAYLIST VIDEO🎉!!!

The skinamarink phone toy @20:13 really solidifies for me, thats the entity was just straight up a demon

Yessz another manly video

Okay, so obviously the sister is dead and the mother blames him for it. But what ACTUALLY happened to her???

My coworker introduced me to this game and now I have to look up a playthrough. ...not because im scared or anything >_>...

So despite it being a very clear there is a predator that is targetting kids around the town. The parents just casually let their kid(s) wander around alone. Makes sense

Thoroughly enjoyed this one right here that's for serious! Loved how when you needed "doll heads" for a puzzle, you actually found dolls and forcibly removed their heads...! LMFAO! 🤣😂 🤣😂😮 That really tickled me,thanks for the laughs my friend!😊

You know it's bad when a video game monster has it's own basement and you live in your mom's..

seriously when i saw the red train first , my first thought was ...SQUIRREL YAY .. cause we have a lot of them around...

So it might be the mom who’s the monster and has the boy locked up blaming him for the death of the sister? I didint fully get it but so sad wow 😢

lewis instead of lou-ee is killing me lmaoo

Thank You for NOT plastering your mug all over the video!

16:30 Hey it's the Skinamarink phone! :D

The little girl's voice sounded like French girl speaking English. EDIT: Seems I was right. "Ravenous is a French student project from the Esma Game school."

we all knew what would happen after they said they were trapped for 2 years.

🎶Resolute And Ra-ve-nous🎵 (that Word giving me Flashbacks😅)

Im curious why the Mother would be spiteful towards Louis before the sister died

HORROR GAME TIME! YAY!

Thank you mr manly

that telephone looks a LOT like the one in Skinamarink

I LOVE YOU MANLY!

poor kid

ffs if i saw a toy train magically moving on its own in the woods i WOULD NOT follow it thats some pennywise manipulation

I don't do commitment, however you maybe my favourite KZfaqr.

New way to answer the phone *ring ring "Mush Mush"

Locked and loaded, my guy

Superb video manly.

if this game weren’t metaphorical and was literal, i hope the mom feels regret for losing her son too

thought that countdown at the start was gonna end with "gotta blast"

Dang, that monster's cheeked up 😂

That was a great one :)

Now, why is this 8 year old in hell?

This game just amazes ❤

Thank you

1 min. love your vids!!

Hey manly if you see this ( I’ve requested years before) but can you do a play through of Tokyo dark I believe you’d enjoy it and find all the secrets in it and outcomes or play that cyberpunk side scroller ghost game. Love your content

last video before the bedtime video:

20:35 unzips*

Manly forgetting he was already on the zero button with the phone 😂

The monster was your little sister all along who new 😒😒😒

20:40 GHHHYAATTT

If I was in this situation I'd get mad and leave

I get the game is trying to send a message about how this child somehow lost his sister when they were playing, and everyone, including himself, blamed him, bla, bla, bla... The whole thing has all the subtlety of a tornado in a china shop.

Uncle Manly

Lookout for the monster in the basement bro

I never heard of this game

Do you know about this game called Of the devil? Demo is available I think, and it might be just the right vibe for this channel

All I'm saying is I've never took 2 years to kill a bag of krystals

Damn, came back for seconds, huh?

The art direction on this is so GOOD

you should start singing with that voice

I like trains

the ai voice in the first cutscene

I mean the monster is a man of his words, he said that she's trapped here forever, and he really meaned it.
