@@coffeecat600 It would be cool if my comment got pinned by my favorite TH-camr, but because it barely has anything to do with the video it won't happen lol
Can we talk about the fact that this dude went into the Post Office to steal things for money, yet he completely ignored the actual stacks of Cash in the Safe?
it's crazy how a good sound design makes a horror game that much scarier in hindsight it should be very obvious but making a VERY loud noise does the trick in a better way I guess?
@nezuai I get your point but the thing is almost no horror game do this so even when is JUST a somewhat good/average sound desing with 3D feel it gets praise of how "different" it is
I love that John gives games a chance even if he’s not a fan in the beginning. You can tell he cares about what he does when he takes the time to go over what he liked and what could be worked on. He’s genuinely honest and isn’t trying to beat new game developers down.
Smart decision in hindsight as a bunch of police were waiting just outside lol like, how would you explain that? "Oh no I accidentally grabbed a load of cash from the safe, officers." Lol But with that in mind, it would be interesting to have a prompt to take it or not and kinda change the ending, adding a sentence or two 🤔
Can't fault John there, I also got really frustrated at the hanging scissors for a good minute until finally seeing the shadows. Hard to fault the game too as the shadows are good game design and I assume the tank controls are there to purposely make it harder otherwise it'd be to easy to escape and avoid the snipper, which by the way sounds like a 60's circumcision themed Batman villian.

Oh noooo, John instantly regretting thinking about how long ago the 90s was, absolutely hilarious, but also I initially agreed with him when he said is it wasn't that long ago ;o; I'm starting to feel kinda old, haha Also, that guy might be a burglar, but that doesn't mean he can't recognize good art when he sees it! Let him appreciate that beautiful seagull photograph, I see no problems here, hahaha
This is one of the videos, you show people why you watch a specific streamer. This video has everything John. Humor, Indie game, great commentary, etc.. Fantastic.
Here some horror games John should definitely tries! : - Dead Seater by Zeekerss (Surprisingly good and free to play) - Nightmare of Decay by Checkmaty (A RE7 indie game alike, cheap and really good with a bunch of easter eggs and recalls from games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space and others) - No one lives under the lighthouse by Sowoke Entertainment Bureau (Short Lovecraftian horror game set up on an island with you playing as a Lighthouse keeper) - The Heilwald Loophole by Jan Malitschek - Mundaun by Hidden Fields (Hand-penciled horror game in 1st person, still surprised he hasn't played it yet) - Immortal Mantis by Bitlife (Short 2d gameboy bit alike game,not as good as the others but still nice imo) - It Steals by Zeekerss ( a 1st person arcade horror game/pac-man alike,with different monsters and fun to play) - The horror of Salazar House by Maldo19 (Cool Retro/Pixelled Horror game) Except for Mundaun,all of these are *short* to play and cheap on steam store.
That hair looks perfect John! I love it! As for the game, it was decent and third person perspective did help a lot. Cheers man! I watch your streams time after time, just love your content! Good day to you man!
I think John didn't realise that everytime the VHS Filter got stronger, the Killer gets closer. This way you can easily avoid him. After the VHS Filter the Snipping Sound starts. But anyway great Video, highly enjoyed it.
Woooo!!!! SOOO happy to see your name pop up John! Love the videos! Elden ring is sooo damn fun to watch with you playing! Also all the horror videos are amazing! Thank you for all you do!
Love the video! The game itself seems decent, a little silly with some things (the burglars robbing a POST OFFICE so they can smoke weed lmao) and following the Puppet Combo style a little close, but not bad and a lot of the ideas were fun (the backstory with the killer was fun, the hanging scissors with the shadows was interesting, there was something to do [solving puzzles] other than run and hide from the killer). But my favorite part was definitely John's commentary, him making fun of the protagonist was the best part - the run/speed walk, the questionable flavor text, and doing the "what is it, boy??" bit lol. I like how he phrased his review at the end, pointing out the very strong Puppet Combo vibes and how Chilla's Art also started off like that and then diverged and developed their own style. It feels like a very honest and fair assessment without being mean, actually being genuinely encouraging! John's the only gaming TH-camr I watch, he's a good mix of funny, chill, and thoughtful/analytical.
John, I know you're a super busy man but I still hope that you're able to read this! I've been watching your vids since the Cat Lady, I actively pay attention to your Twitter, and I love the streams plus addition channels! You are, hands down, my favorite creator of all time. I appreciate everything you do for those of us who don't just subscribe to this channel and expect daily uploads. That being said, I have a little more to be thankful for with you! On November 30, 2020, I almost lost my life due to three brain aneurysms. One ruptured, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage (aka a stroke). After that one was treated, I had another close call because of a clip complication while attempting to treat the remaining two aneurysms. It's been a ROUGH road and I'm still not where I'd like to be but I'm alive at least. One part that hurts more than anything is that I lost so much of my personality that I don't even know who I am anymore... but, when I watch you, I'm taken back! I feel like the same old Kristin as before, even for a little while. That is something not a lot of others can help me with. So, from the bottom of my soul, thank you. Thank you for helping a stranger feel better about surviving two very close calls with death! (Also, you need to do the voice acting for a video game character, in this exact tone lol) Much love and respect, Kristin
saw another creator play this. I think it was jack. John didnt notice the fact that the VHS filter starts glitching up when snippy pip is nearby. I only know this from Jack's playthrough. It TEEECHNICALLY started glitching BEFORE he went through the wall...he just didnt notice the two correlate.
your hair looks amazing right now, john. i know you tend to grow it out for charity so i know it'll be gone again at some point, but you rock so many hairstyles!! also i'm so glad you played this. it's very puppet combo but it definitely lacks some of that care that puppet combo puts into their games. i am a sucker for PSX styled horror games though, just my weak spot. i always like them even if they're lukewarm. the ambience was pretty good most of the time, but the tank controls are kind of a drag.
I just wanna say that years ago, I stopped watching certain gaming channels because I didn’t enjoy their reactions, it was too exaggerated and I was getting older and didn’t really vibe with it. Then I found you, I love the way your channel is going and I just think that you’re the main reason I still watch gaming channels sometimes. You’re just great
2:58 that "isded" soda isn't just pepsi upside down? Or a joke with "is dead"... Maybe I'm just overthinking things lol I have to say, Clock Tower got everyone so used to the ridiculous giant scissors, that now seeing the killer with regular ones made this looks even more ridiculous for some reason 🤣
One : i love your hairstyle it looks good on you Two : the title reminded me of that old PS1 game "clock tower" i think it was called (i didnt finish it when i was a kid, got too scared)
Always so glad to experience horrors games for the first time when you play them. I saw a couple people played this but I'm happy I waited : D Your sarcastic remarks always make these so enjoyable.
So this place has been closed for months but they've left behind peoples personal files all over the place? I would think that would be the first thing you box up or dispose of.
Not so much. Watching videos of urban explorers roaming around abandoned buildings. You see stuff like that all the time. It's quite baffling but not unbelievable. Hospitals, Prisons, Asylums. there is usually a few files on old patients and staff just sitting around.
24:32 Didn't you go there to rob the place??? But getting a key to the supply room for duct tape to fix some wiring is more important right now huh? Indie. Horror. Game
I actually really like the "Isded" name for the soda, it's just Pepsi upside down and backwards lol
My mind is blown 🤯 please pin this comment 😆
@@coffeecat600 It would be cool if my comment got pinned by my favorite TH-camr, but because it barely has anything to do with the video it won't happen lol
I though it meant is dead
Good catch! I didn't realize that. XD
I watch these videos on my TV. Came on mobile to comment this, but see you already have. Glad others caught it!
Typical protagonist: "somebody got cornered and dismembered here..anyway..who took this beautiful picture of a seagull?🤔"
you need to have priorities and a constant feeling of impending doom by multiple stabs and dismemberment is not one of them
“Let’s go ghost-hunting in this haunted mansion in nowhere-middle-of, ill equipped, alone, at night, without telling anybody”
LOL my thoughts exactly
Very important question
There's something so absurdly funny about the part when john is inching the character through the hanging scissor room in absolute silence.
so glad someone commented this because oh my god yes. loved this part so much
I dunno how he didn't see the shadows on the floor at the start...
@Succulent Cranberry do you like cheese?
@Succulent Cranberry is it gouda?
@Succulent Cranberry bro what 😭
"1992, that wasn't that long ago..." does the math. "Wait! That was 30 years ago! I don't wanna think about that anymore.." yeah John, I feel that.
The most relatable moment in a series of a relatable moments from J. Wolfe
Fills me with same pain
I started laughing when he said that, because 1992 is before I was BORN, and I'm getting towards 30. 🤣
@@Killersquirrel66 😶😶😶 GET OUT!
I feel this. 😪 32 this year. 😂
Can we talk about the fact that this dude went into the Post Office to steal things for money, yet he completely ignored the actual stacks of Cash in the Safe?
There's actually an option to take the money too, John just didn't see it
@@dryocampa does it change the ending if he did took it?
@@Yerinjibbang Nope

It should
The sound design of the snipping scissors was really well done.
it's crazy how a good sound design makes a horror game that much scarier in hindsight it should be very obvious but making a VERY loud noise does the trick in a better way I guess?
It was like asmr
@@Marcos-gb5hd I mean, Silent Hill is an example of good sound horror. Thats why they are called psychological horror.
@@stanmarsh4566 kinda wish that horror games in general aimed for that but oh well

01:20 "Tank controls, my favorite" Sarcasm so realistic it might as well be raytraced
I'm dying at this joke lmaooo

Clock Tower meets Puppet Combo. ✂️
I just thought of that
So would that be Clock Combo or Puppet Tower?
@@Tripp426 Maybe Puppet Tower?
"It could be a scissor woman"
I'm sure that's a different type of game John.
The "Isded" joke at 3:00 which John didn't seem to catch is a reference to Pepsi which reads "Isded" if you flip it upside down
I knew I wasn't the only one to read it that way lmao
ah i was about to comment this
And the pepsi logo is like Obama's 2008 election campaign so it reads OBAMA IS DEAD
Well...rotated 180°, not flipped...but close enough
@@medigoomnis Rotating 180 degrees is not flipping?
The 'thief' just...left...all the cash in the safe. No multitasking ability but at least he's got priorities, I guess.
Smart decision in hindsight as a bunch of police were waiting just outside lol like, how would you explain that? "Oh no I accidentally grabbed a load of cash from the safe, officers." Lol
But with that in mind, it would be interesting to have a prompt to take it or not and kinda change the ending, adding a sentence or two 🤔
@@DiegeticDogma trespassing is still an offense
@@DiegeticDogma you can take the cash, he just didnt try, doesnt change ending tho i dont think
Absolutely love it when John breaks out the voice acting 👌
Can't fault John there, I also got really frustrated at the hanging scissors for a good minute until finally seeing the shadows. Hard to fault the game too as the shadows are good game design and I assume the tank controls are there to purposely make it harder otherwise it'd be to easy to escape and avoid the snipper, which by the way sounds like a 60's circumcision themed Batman villian.

Oh noooo, John instantly regretting thinking about how long ago the 90s was, absolutely hilarious, but also I initially agreed with him when he said is it wasn't that long ago ;o; I'm starting to feel kinda old, haha

Totally relatable game! I just hate when Im robbing a place and a random dude accosts me and violently stabs me with ✂️
Here some horror games John should definitely tries! :
- Dead Seater by Zeekerss (Surprisingly good and free to play)
- Nightmare of Decay by Checkmaty (A RE7 indie game alike, cheap and really good with a bunch of easter eggs and recalls from games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space and others)
- No one lives under the lighthouse by Sowoke Entertainment Bureau (Short Lovecraftian horror game set up on an island with you playing as a Lighthouse keeper)
- The Heilwald Loophole by Jan Malitschek
- Mundaun by Hidden Fields (Hand-penciled horror game in 1st person, still surprised he hasn't played it yet)
- Immortal Mantis by Bitlife (Short 2d gameboy bit alike game,not as good as the others but still nice imo)
- It Steals by Zeekerss ( a 1st person arcade horror game/pac-man alike,with different monsters and fun to play)
- The horror of Salazar House by Maldo19 (Cool Retro/Pixelled Horror game)
Except for Mundaun,all of these are *short* to play and cheap on steam store.
Dead Seater deserves so much more attention
@@KingFancy it's really good,especially on the sound design too
@@joshpenbar8319 Me and my friends played it together and it was an absolute blast to play. The developer is underrated

I totally appreciate your distillation of what makes Puppet Combo so special and what so many of these vhs horror games miss.

Yoooo my name is also Lola and my last name starts with a B. High five! 🤘🏼
John your videos are so laid back and relaxing
I love watching them, keep up the good work my man
It was a little lack luster in my opinion but quite hilarious and ominous in other parts. Great vid as always John! :)
Ooh, I’m so looking forward to this! I’ve seen this game making its rounds, but I didn’t want to see it until you played it!
I think John didn't realise that everytime the VHS Filter got stronger, the Killer gets closer. This way you can easily avoid him. After the VHS Filter the Snipping Sound starts. But anyway great Video, highly enjoyed it.
I love how John portrays the characters so in character.
Love the feedback you give these games. It’s great that you take indie developers seriously and give credible and useful comments.
I like how one of the footsteps sound effects sounds very similar to the scissors snipping
Last week I went to my kids and said "hey guys, it's mom" and now I chuckle every time I hear him.
I like to believe that it's the spirit of TotalBiscuit that makes so many people check the settings menu before any playthrough.
Woooo!!!! SOOO happy to see your name pop up John! Love the videos! Elden ring is sooo damn fun to watch with you playing! Also all the horror videos are amazing! Thank you for all you do!

@@jacobswiftlathers thanks
got the idea from John Wolf they need to make a difficult version of this where the “Snipper” doesn’t snip his scissors at all
Two years into a pandemic, there is absolutely no situation in which any person would say, "I don't need to wash my hands."
This playthrough was super fun to watch John comment through! The review at the end was also insightful. Thank you for playing!
John’s got a kind-of mullet going on. I’m here for it honestly.

I have to say, Clock Tower got everyone so used to the ridiculous giant scissors, that now seeing the killer with regular ones made this looks even more ridiculous for some reason 🤣
Anyone else LOVE john’s hair in this video? It looks so good
John: March 1992....
me: hey, that's when I was born
John: that was 30 years ago
me: ....I don't like that
Yep July 1992 🤪
You have me rolling over here "Thats the rock slide over there, and you can get your refreshments over here"
The real horror was the incredibly loud killer chase theme. Great ending theme, though.
sniper: long range
snipper: in yo face range
One : i love your hairstyle it looks good on you
Two : the title reminded me of that old PS1 game "clock tower" i think it was called (i didnt finish it when i was a kid, got too scared)
A Fugazi poster in the background! Named my dog after them. That’s neat. For me.
Oh, nice to see your earrings making an appearance 😂
also yep, the knock for immersion was appreciated lollll
I almost spit out my vegetable soup when you were talking about washing hands after getting the key.
The Snipper….such an intimidating name. 🤣
Always so glad to experience horrors games for the first time when you play them. I saw a couple people played this but I'm happy I waited : D Your sarcastic remarks always make these so enjoyable.
You'd think that after risking life and limb thieving he'd at least take the money in the safe.
Puppet Combo inspired games are so good, I love the aesthetic of them
i literally love John playing any kind of games ESPECIALLY poppet combo games
So this place has been closed for months but they've left behind peoples personal files all over the place?

Pepsi rotated 180 reads isded.
Always love when Clock Tower is given a little recognition
Appreciate John's slow but steady metamorphosis into Grizzly Adams.
Fun Trivia: If you flip the brand "Isded", you get "Pepsi" xD
Can I just say that johns look is amazing
This actually makes me wonder... John, would you consider doing a Still Scary video of the original Clocktower game?
"pause not allowed" so, so, SO much dark souls 2 ptsd.
24:07 that is cool how he didn't attack until he was on screen, cool game design
I love this protagonist. "Wow, the penmanship in this letter is just terrible. Oh yeah, and also the paper is covered in blood."
John has the ability to make a “not-bad” game into an interesting and thrilling one
ever since I've discovered Clock Tower, I've been a big fan of any horror antagonist that uses scissors, so this game is right up my alley
Well...i was expecting a ClockTower scissorman not a guy with a school scissors tho
lol, 'no pee zone.'
House burning down around you, but "you can't pause?" Welp, ded.
Literally a wish version of Clocktower 🤣
John you ROCK that haircut!!
A "slice" of a newspaper? You mean a "SNIPPET"? That my friends was and was not a joke...
Every time John uploads, it makes me so happy!
Very entertaining. Thank you for playing, John.
The staff only joke was good.

Aw man. Yeah that's too bad. I wish you could've went in that staff only door. Ah well. Thanks for the video anyways!

i feel old even though my birthyear wasn't that long ago
We heard your immersion knock John. It’s why we love watching you play these games.
18:32 That is the most scared I ever seen John!
“Kevin needs a hand y’all” 😭
not a bad game imo. as always, john's commentary and gameplay makes it better
Johns little jump when the scissorman came after him; and then his faint, "disappointed-in-myself" face immediately after had me rolling.
This is the last place I would even think of robbing...like, why? What does go on here? Lol nothing..that's what.
actually if you had time to go thru mail, many many people send money, money orders and valuable payments aND GIFTS like that
