This game makes me almost believe England is real, but alas
hi rt
The worst horror, England being real
It is. I am from there.
@@finnjones625 I’m so sorry to hear that
This game makes me glad it doesn't. Imagine what they'd do if they got their hands on the rest of the world. I shudder to think of it.
love that the protagonist never has a set size and can simply shrink to fit the scenario
Makes it even funnier
the only rule is that he is significantly smaller than whoever he is helping
The opposite o Ira Gamagoori whose size is jus bigger than everyone else.
Proportionally small protag
*Small boi*
the best part of this game is that if you just wait in the mayors office for 15 minutes his schedule opens up
I was hoping this would be one of those games where if you wait around long enough you get some sort of secret ending. Glad to hear that's the case.
Love games that do that. Knowing that gamers won’t do that because that’s just not the game, but having it in there anyway is always a treat. Like Far Cry 4.
@@z34567890123456 And it leads to the best outcome for the Main character if you do it
@@z34567890123456 I mean, in Far Cry 4 that's how you get the good ending, just don't play.

I love that the subtitles translate the aggressive Englishness of the dialogue
I’m pretty sure the option at the start changes between accurate subtitles and translated subtitles.
@@ethanshackleton That's cool
It also changes the menu options to be more accurate to the yorkshire dialect
you can change it in the settings btw
its great
i am not british
i didnt understand a word
Honestly don’t worry about it, half the people in England won’t understand it either. It’s Northern English dialect and quite strong at that. I’m northern and loved it but my southern partner missed some of the jokes too
i think “game where you play as a comically small man fixing everyone’s problems with monty python-type humour” is my new favourite genre
What other games are in the genre?
Turnip boy maybe?
@@StarbornQM exactly
@@hexakon only good ones.
Monty Python Type humor
"Stop the stigma, shit wherever." Resinated with me like nothing else ever has before
I hope you don't become trapped I hear resin can be very sticky.
@@samandom8772 Oh... it's resonate isn't it?
@@maacll4343thank you for replying instead of just editing the original comment, I appreciate the humor of the situation and the self-recognition of the error 😊
Indian? 😂
@@Red-Tower I also appreciate it because if they changed it, my reply would make no sense XD
I like the concept of a tiny, useful man in work clothes just being trusted and accepted in British Society. It's like their version of the Lone Ranger from American Cowboy folklore
It’s about accurate to real english life. Nice bloke in somewhat decent clothes offers to help? You take him up on it and then take him for a pint
paddingington bear :o)
A new retelling of The Borrowers.
He's like The Littlest Hobo.
this isn't a concept this person exists irl
As a person from the real life Barnsworth, this game is very accurate. I too ask random small men to do medial tasks for me.
Menial or medieval?
@@FFKonoko Both, the fish won't smoke themselves!
What kind of smoke, though? And do they want the smoke?
@@tobellous5364 Ciggy smoke, they don't just want it, they need it.

as a brit from the north, can confirm this is exactly what my childhood was like. kicking binbags, befriending rats, buying fish and cigarettes, and most importantly, experiencing psychological horror.
Not to mention the abundance of discarded Red Stripe cans

I read that in a tune till the end part...
Fun fact, Barnsworth where this game is set is based on the real town Barnsley and the number you dial for pie mix, 01226, is the number on the front of all Barnsley based businesses. Weird seeing the place I live represented like this but I love it
That’s adorable! I love how many local details they put in
My dad's from Barnsley :3
Can't believe they got to invent a country based on this game
Fanfic is really getting out of hand these days, it has to be said.
Everyone knows Yorkshire isn't real.

As a Northerner, I can confirm this game is as authentic as possible.
After a long day of being in the mine, I'll pop home, finish my pint of gravy and play this game to relax while the wife finishes buttering up the sheep.
Wait no
@@kobban63 I can't see anything wrong with his comment, buttering the sheep is a very important step, it doesn't go well without it.
lubing up the sheep, thats Welsh
I'm not english, what does "buttering up the lamb" mean?
@@micasnow3563 I'm sure you can figure it out by yourself, it's nature after all.
1:22 found footage horror concept: you are in England
honestly they should put a trigger warning this is worse than gore 😔
I screamed
Idk if RT cut the video or because he said sorry at the first choices that the credit skipped a few scenes, it should've start with red bus moving
It's amazing how this joke is so fresh years after it started.
As a British Person, I can confirm that this is 100% accurate to British culture in this British South Park adventure that RT is unable to escape, North Park
Nah you're wrong. There's a lack of Indian, black and Arab people.
Wouldn't that be North Lawn instead?
StickMaster500 lore Pog
I think you mean Norf Park there lad. @StickMaster500
Still not as cartoonish as South Parks version of Canada.
The title is incredibly funny to me, because there used to be an australian comedy improv show called Thank God You're Here, where a comedian would be presented with a set and prepared actors that would start the scene by going 'thank god you're here! The hospital is on fire/all the bets at wimbledon have just been cashed in/your mother has just found out about your affair' and then the comedian would have to take the scene from there. Really great show.
Same, I was expecting it to be "Thank God You're Here" but all the situations are very British. Also I don't know if you know this already, but they brought it back with Celia Pacquola hosting, and the second season is broadcasting really soon!
@@thylacina5989 oh shit, for real? That's so cool!
Yes! It was bothering so much because I couldn't hit upon why it sounded like such a familiar prompt. Hilarious show.
@@AngelofGrace96 I got an ad for next season while watching this!
@@thylacina5989 well if you think about it the game kind of is like that
i LOVE how the comedy in this isn't just around the fact that it's set in England- just an amazing game of pure bri'ish-ness
It's one big knob joke as well! And an acid trip
Not to be overly BriTish, but...(speaking as a Northerner) we might miss T's in a lot of words. British isn't one of them. Wa'er, yes. Bri'ish, no. Pretty sure not even the cockneys do that.
I have a question, as a novice to British humor, but can someone explain the gag of "grossout humor to punchline said like it's a children's show episode title"?
That 1 minute scene of Roger actually had so much emotion, more than a lot of full movies. I really like this weird game actually!😂
@@luciesimpson6437in the Medway valley part of Kent some of us drop the t in Bri'ish, we also drop the t in Ken'.
16:14 This is a surprisingly well done sudden tonal switch. Like they manage to fit the characterization and writing with the rest of the game while still having a well done horrific tome to it.
This is actually an homage to their previous game called The Good Time Garden. A nice detail!
Roger Peeling’s life is also such a tone shift. You go through it and then realize that his mum died in childbirth because of his large head. “Haha funny baby compared to the other normal babies!” To “holy shit..”
@@nortalian549bold to assume i realize anything
As a British person myself I can confirm that our diet consists of pies and we communicate by slapping eachother.
Do the pie shop owners always have a box of their dead wife’s ashes
There are some things I really wish we hadnt done away with when we became american.
_We want pies_
@@fretfultrout2788Yup! Wouldn't be a pie shop without!
I thought that was new zealands shtick?
That would explain everything
This is a game where I know what the final joke is going to be, its very telegraphed. But the journey to get there? I had no idea how crazy it would be.
British humor at its finest, no?
British core
What was the final joke? Im not sure i get it
@dr.zapatoso7220 "Thank goodness you're here. I need you to do _____" Eventually after doing stuff for the whole town the mayor would ask for something and the player character would be super done with this shit.
@@dr.zapatoso7220 The whole game is that you help people with stuff, and in the end the player runs away because they don't want to help people any more. When they meet the mayor, they are asked to help them
To anyone who's wondering, yes this exactly what Britain is like, they always dial it back in tv shows and movies and such because no one outside Britain would believe it.
Thanks Joseph Stalin!
no it’s not bro
poeple skin aren’t yellow and orange?
poeple don’t bathe in milk with cows? And has big ah forheads sound more like America to me
@@joshuawild6627 as a northener, our skin actually is bright yellow and orange, you just can't tell on camera so it looks normal on tv
This felt like an episode of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, especially that ending. But in the best way possible, it was so disorientating and insane
Everyone's been saying this, I think it's closer to the channel's first video "Bad Things That Could Happen"
I got DHMIS vibes during that song at the end as everything got darker and darker
It felt like in the end it was going to zoom in on the character's eyes, and then zoom out again to show they're in a straight jacket and just humming the song and none of it was real.
@@Cole_Is_A_Mole The what?
@@cubisttubistYup. Really thought of it there.
0:36 thats him
That's him!
why did this make me laugh that hard
I think that that might be him
It is him
Saw your comment perfectly synchronized with the video, made me actually laugh
It’s heavily implied (as in, all but outright stated) that Roger Peeling’s mother died in childbirth due to his big head. Man’s not had a break from day 1… 20:25
Most English game since wallace and gromit
theres a wallace and gromit game?
@@Ai-Music499 rt played it & it actually made him rage
@@chandra_creator im gonna have to check that one out
Great, now I can't get the themesong out of my head😂
There’s a fair few. Project Zoo and Curse of the Were-Rabbit are fun games that capture the feel of the films. There’s also Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, a sort of serialised set of missions, and although I’ve never played it I heard it’s pretty good.
I like how incredibly inconsistent the main characters size is. From child sized to microscopic
This one Lemon has done so much unpaid labor
Model citizen according to the Tories 👍
And caused so much property damage

This game has "Don't hug me, I'm scared" vibes, especially with that little montage at the end. Great game, really makes me feel like I'm in England and there's no escape
Everyone's been saying this, I think it's closer to the channel's first video "Bad Things That Could Happen"
40:02 It might just be the accent, but I swear that's that voice of the Chef Steak from Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared (The one that's about eating grey food)
Can’t believe an Irishman is playing a video game involving the enemy. Truly times have changed
The first step in defeating the enemy is knowing how they think.
For the Brits, this is entertainment.
For the Irish, this is education on enemy sociology.
Incorrect. What you are watching is not a game, but a high tech simulation used to educate us on the intricately complex ways of Brit.
And he took the soup too!
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger that is just the north of England and each county is completely different, gl ye barmpot
He has joined the blacks! (This is your fault ireland)
the watering can't bit is so good because its almost the only actual normal straightforward joke in the whole game so you arent ready for it
The deadpan, unchanging stare of the player character is hilarious
unchanging ? 41:39
I love that for the ending song the only part the player is still smiling at is when he’s helping the mole beat the townsfolk
9:03 I can't tell if this is Matt Berry doing the least unhinged VA he's ever done, or someone doing an excellent Matt Berry impression.
Edit: it's him.
I couldn't tell until he yelled "Shit!" around 25:45
Had to go look up the voice cast as soon as I heard it
I've recently became really good at noticing matt berry's voice lol. love this man.
GOD GOOD CATCH! im a big matt berry fan and it somehow flew over my head
actually so happy matt berry's in this it makes so much sense
Almost rivals his least unhinged live actioned role in Darkplace
This was an absolute fever dream to watch live. interested in what made it in.
edit: HOLY WHAT I CANT BELIEVE YOU INCLUDED ALL OF THE “Milk” SCENE
...Is "milk shyness" actually a thing?
I absolutely love it when a game protagonist is just A Gremlin. Just chaos. Nothing going on behind the eyes.
I like the twist that even he has had enough of the people in this town. XD
I think this is my favorite genre that doesn’t have a name. A weird comedic game with a unique art style where you just wonder around and random things happen that you would never expect. Later alligator is another game like this, and RT would love that game. There’s also that vr game from the creators of Rick and Morty. I need more of these❤
i think we call that a "goose-like"
(funnily enough, untitled goose game, and this game were both published by panic)
@@ReddStrider I really like “goose-like” that’s the perfect energy for this type of game
in some sense its sort of a modern take on the point and click genre, especially considering the puzzle and comedy elements, just without the pointing and the clicking
I guess an absurd humor game?
The Stanley Parable🤤🤤
The commercials at the beginning were just English inter-dimensional cable form Rick And Morty

it gave me asdf vibes
@@wanderings2000 "I like trains."

This is like DHMIS but instead of gore and explicit horror it's just off-putting and awkward. And it is perfect for that

Don't forget the leaded water in the boss' office and the leaded straws in the pub! Really important to get your daily dose of lead, lol.
@@redwitch95 I didn't mention the leaded water since the boss mentioned it, but I didn't notice the leaded straws!

the brand new mops from 'Jay'n'Mel' (pun on JML)
there are very few contemporary games that capture the comedic spirit of the "pythonesque," mostly due to its extravagantly idiosyncratic silliness, but also due to the fact that all the python's were all college-educated and thus knew perfectly how to mock both the fancy and the crude. this is probably the closest ive seen yet. the way the player character's size varies from screen to screen feels very Terry Gilliam. the foppish town doofus was also a pretty classic comedic character for the pythons. "Then I start foaming at the mouth and fall over backwards!"
I dunno what it is, but something about Yorkshire is inherently funny. Sorry Northerners. The accent is great though.
this is the most yorkshire game i have ever seen. finally, representation
Every time the chimney guy appeared and 'On Ilkla Moor Bah't 'At' played I had a single manly tear come to my eye.
Same here. I didn’t even think a game about Yorkshire would ever be made, so I’m happy the county I was born and bred it has finally got game representation.
i like how this guy is just 2 cm tall and no attention is brought to it
I ACtuLALY BURST OUT LAUGHING AT "thats a watering cant"
Actually being from the town this was made in and based off made it a brilliant game to play through. And originally buying the game on a whim I genuinely pointed at the screen seeing the footage of the past of the town I grew up in
that finale gave me DHMIS vibes and i love it
It's very computer song in it's execution
That is what I was thinking once the time and pace of it kicked off.
Everyone's been saying this, I think it's closer to the channel's first video "Bad Things That Could Happen"
20:31 accurate to British primary school insults
Somewhere along the way the phrase "Biblically Accurate England" popped into my head and wouldn't leave. This was such a fever dream.
I watched the vod multiple times, and now I’m going to watch this multiple times
where's the best place? is there a yt vod channel or do you gotta twitch?
@atwilight i believe theres a channel uploading all the vods. rtgame stream archive iirc
Me too!
Fun fact there's a secret ending for just waiting in the mayor's office for 15 minutes.
I've searched for that ending but it doesn't appear on TH-cam, do you have the link?
@@alansanchez3406 I saw it on one of those "100% Walkthrough - All Achievements" type vids. The specific achievement it's attached to is called "Patience is a Virtue"
@@alansanchez3406sorry but you'll have to wait those minutes yourself
i played this game two weeks ago and i still haven't stopped thinking about the one-way coasters
That joke caught me off guard I keep laughing about it when I think about it. 😂
"Imagine if the UK was a real place" as the very last thing was like sitting through the credits for the extra scene 🤣
25:49 That "watering can't" joke was so stupid and I love it
30:40 is that a reference to the bird that people thought was exotic but was just a seagull covered in curry
Probably lol
Yo! I’ve got the biggest feeling that this game was also made by the people who made The Good Time Garden! It was a horror game I saw a while back with more of the flesh from the meat segment. There’s an orange bird in that game too!
@@stalebiscuit8516 yes coal supper did also make that!
Yorkshire's most successful cultural export since Sean Bean. Very glad that foreigners (and southerners) are being introduced to our glorious county

There’s only one Yorkshire. But for the sake of appeasing the government down south we pretend we’re split into four parts.
13:12 bloody hell I own that plate!! I got it in a raffle at an old people’s home!
plate lore continues
39:04 I cannot tell you how many times I've rewatched the vod at this point just for that finale
Yes yes, funny English man joke but can we talk hiw absolutely insane is that someone has been hand animating this, I don't care how many people did it it's absolutely bonkers
31:47 just straight jorkin it, and by it, I mean the puters
That bit was definitely the most disgusting bit in the whole game.
I just realised I've been replying to people saying it's less of DHMIS, and more "bad things that could happen"
But I just realised the end sequence is basically the amazing world of gumball episode that they collabed with Don't Hug Me I'm scared on
Big "the fun will never end" vibes
as someone from the town this game is "parodying" (barnsley, in yorkshire), I can confirm this game is incredibly accurate
ive been using the wallace and gromit streams to fall asleep and the old guy at 7:21 is absolutely duncan mcbiscuit

This game deserves all the love in the world. Thank you Dan for shining a spotlight on it.
I love this game. I am not british but german. I always kind of loved british humor overall. And this world has just a ton of charm in it. It actually feels more alive than a lot of TV shows made for comedy that I kind of forgot I was watching a video from RT playing a game. Hope the guys who made this make even more games with the same passion. Cause this is pure gold.

As a Yorkshireman, I can confirm this game is 100% accurately representing folks up North in't Dales
If this is what Britain is like, no wonder people declared their independence from them as fast as they could.

He’s played Doom.
He’s played Bloodborne.
*And yet this confounded hellscape surpasses them all in sheer horror.*
I should rewatch the bloodborne video. I need a pallete cleanser with less visceral horror after this
As a Scot, this is pretty much what we all think goes on down in England.
as an english, you're all correct
No wonder Colin is so terrified of Megg, he has a black eye after the store opens. I wonder who did that.
His mum has him on the Bismuth and Mercury, I wouldn't be surprised if he bashed himself in the eye
the character you play as is such a precious lil man, I adore him, he deserves the WORLD
I like how the ending song was probably the most rhytmic one i've ever seen in any playthrough funny :)

This is like if Homestar Runner was 15% more vulgar and 110% more English.
biblically accurate Yorkshire
God I love that regional accent, "haven't baked owt yet" "nowt" I need much more media with that specific accent. There's a game I can't remember the name of that uses mostly that accent 🤔
that’s the yorkshire accent for you aha
I'm not sure about stuff that is this specific kind of comedy, but The Royle Family is about a Yorkshire family and the entire show is set in the living room in front of the telly
I would be dead chuffed if we got more people in the media with a thick Yorkshire accent. I have one meself sometimes.

Tha’s not familiar with Yorkshire dialect then?
I’ve lived in Yorkshire all my life, so I’m fully well accustomed to understanding it. Subtitles were a good choice.
I never lived in the North, I lived in Herefordshire, but the quaint town square is yet so utterly familiar, and the friendly demeanour of all that lived there. What a sweet little game (though rather absurd)

Don't know why, but that face he makes when punching things fills me with unfathomable rage.
