Nothing like having a homeless person you just gave money to mention that he got a degree in the same field as you to really make you feel good about your life choices.
Honestly I feel like he just said that to get close to her. But honestly it matters how your work ethic and ambition are.

If you have no passion or work ethic you will fail.
The chances of being murdered by a psycho killer wearing a baby face whilst doing the laundry is also extremely low but never zero. Scary world out there.
So I'm not the only one who thought the protagonist is dumb as rocks for persisting in washing her laundry after being told many times that she fits the victim profile.
I like how the game presented the protagonist as generally desperate and down on her luck though. I still agree that she's a bit a stupid, but she could have been a *lot* worse.
@@princeapoopoo5787 You know? That's fair. Still, it felt odd that hearing all of these never prompted her to try and bail until the killer was already running amok.

I thought that! It annoys me. Just hand wash one outfit! Use the dryer! It's entirely avoidable! Or wear one that isn't as dirty. No one's going to care if you have pit stains if you wear a suit jacket.

@@mychatpalace A hair dryer? That's a good idea actually, if you need those few articles dried quickly. Otherwise I usually hang in the bathroom, and do the same with rain-soaked clothes or swimming suits. Can't just leave them in a pile, they'll mold and mildew like that!

I loved how while Manly noticed that the guy in the bathroom was super weird he didn't consider how off putting it would be for someone to have already been inside a locked bathroom.
@@ManlyBadassHero So from Senpai Manly to Sensai Manly? Oh teach us the ways of Anime and being Tsundere, Sensai. 😏😉😅I think you give off more of a teacher vibe with your personality too. 😊💖
I love how dumb the characters are in this game. Not only a pregnant woman walking around a place with a killer who kills pregnant woman, the killer doesn't even kill woman, he kills about every single man lol. A police officer who's alone wanders around the killers den, and doesn't shoot his gun even though he saw the killer kill an officer worker. And the killer mocks us by being naked. This was incredibly funny.
Okay, here's my question: You caught the last bus going there, now how the fuck do you think you'll get back? Doing laundry takes at least an hour in my experience. What SHOULD have been done is the instant the creepy guy seemingly makes a threat on your life, call the cops for protection AND get a free ride home.
That is the happiest ending yet of a “Puppet Combo” game. It’s going for the stereotypical slasher ending, sure, but hey it’s unambiguous what happens to Sara and her loser boyfriend is still alive, not like the ambiguous ending in “Murder House”. I just hope she skips town after that shit.
@@deen7530 I mean, what was that light that appeared in the end, and what was with zombies? Of course, thanks to the extended ending showing that it was all a movie, that ending can be explained as just a weird ending that happens in some movies. Although, that doesn’t explain what was in the car with the protagonist; is it just the costume or was there someone really in her trunk?
@@blueknight2983 Unless the boyfriend wisen up, it's better off that he's not involved in a family he doesn't even want. He's probably going to leave halfway into the kid's life.
This could have been avoided if Sara washed her clothes in either the bathtub or sink for her interview. And the code was for the safe in the Appliance store, you would have received a picture that would have provided more dialogue.
I kinda knew the killer was gonna be a woman who lost her child. I feel bad for her because of what happened to her and her child but at the same time I don't because what she did is disgusting.
@@tokiwartooth9935 with a known serial killer specifically targetting pregnant people?? like even without that target on ur back, thats an awful idea for any person that is a woman or has a feminine appearance, you dont just make urself vulnerable like that?
@@onibeebee The same kind of reasoning I'm sure gets ignored by a lot of people who've ever gotten pulled over for a speeding ticket they deserve, lost more than they could afford on a bad bet, got into a wreck while driving intoxicated, got a STI from a random hookup, or got mugged while walking through a dark alley at night in a bad neighborhood: a combination of desperation, skewed priorities, lack of forward thinking, and a false sense of invincibility. I'm sure there's endless reasons people do dumb shit with bad consequences even before they become a horror movie/game protagonist. You can see those traits in Sara the way she interacts with the world around her despite almost all the people around her basically telling her "It's late at night, you're in the sketchiest part of town with a killer on the loose targeting women, GO HOME." If she had any kind of sense, even before going to that 24 hour laundromat I'm sure she could've tried rescheduling her interview, going to a closer/safer laundromat first thing in the morning, or handwashing a set of clothes in her apartment and using the working dryer. I suppose she could've also been planning to splurge on a cab the way back or that was the last bus going to that part of town but not necessarily the only bus coming back.
@@HanniSeidenba0525 american horror movies are not a reflection of america in real life. we're not perfect, but we're the same as everyone else. we are no less dumb than anyone else. shame to see people still feel the need to dunk on people for living in a random country in a comment thread that never mentioned it in the first place. y'all talk more about us than we do at this point
I love how well Puppet Combo established Sara as a character and gave a lot of setup to the story. The Voice acting really came in clutch for this game.
I do like that there was a lot of time for the game to build up Sara as a character, it makes it easier to care about her and more worried about her as the game progresses. Most horror media doesn't always take the time for audiences to care about their characters before things get harrowing (unless their goal is to just provide a creative kill count).
just so you guys no, puppet combo didnt make this game! they just published it. the creators are torture star and their stuff is pretty close to puppet combo but not exactly? it's all great though :)
@@HanniSeidenba0525 Oh, my bad. But hey, the 80's aren't too far away from the 21st century, so i guess she already got that modern attitude in her blood lol
......Have you hand washed a huge pile of clothes? Have you seen how shitty the faucets are at a run down apartment? I mean yeah haha joke and all. But hand washing takes a lot, that's why before the time of washing machines, hand washing services are very popular, not even the most competent house wives can manage this while managing the entire home. I see some people suggests 3 minutes of washing time and that's barely the time to wash your underwear clean.
I like the games feeling more like complete games. Also like how not everyone in them is an asshole, felt more like real people aside from the protag's absolute stupidity in going out knowing of a killer with an MO she's perfect for. But hey, slasher flicks love that shit.
Guess I’ll go to the laundromat while a killer is on the loose! Just wash the laundry in a utility sink or in the bathtub as best as you can, then stick it in the dryer.
Fuck, that's probably puppet combo's best game yet. Nice atmosphere, tension building, lack of stupid annoyingly loud screeching sounds, final battle, protag surviving, great music
Man, that was creepy! I would also like to see you play a game called 'House of rules' since you are very good at horror games. I failed to see the ending because it was little too hard for me. Tried to find other streamers who played the game and found one, but he was a Taiwanese so I couldn't understand what he was saying... :(
I think it relied too much on jumpscares, i like how the killers body shape did kind of look feminine a bit. But the twist jumpscare ending just feels bs
Ehhh I wouldn't be TOO sure about the body being identified until work on the body itself is done. You can identify the ID, but the ID doesn't necessarily identify the body. If you consider the final chase to be more than just the part with the gun, it can work. Ending quickly once the protag gets a big advantage isn't bad, you just have to make sure the last confrontation doesn't start with the advantage.
This is probably Puppet Combo’s best game yet with the voice acting combined with the exposition that really gives you a feel for the character,who she is and what her life is like, and the story was pretty good.
The player character has the worst case of "dumb horror protagonist" I've ever seen in a while.🤣 That said, I gotta say this isn't one of my favored Puppet Combo games. Can't put my finger on it, since the animations are great and the voice acting has also improved, but i think the concept and scares felt a bit lacking.
Am I the only one who wish there was an ending where if you shot where the knife went through the vent, you'd just hear a *thump*, and it'd end with the officer and lady both getting to go home?
40:34 - "How am i supposed to get out of here..." I mean, you could just... Break the windows and leave? Then don't seem reinforced, and it's definitely better to get an early start than trying to stay in the same building as killer is. But eh, horror protagonist syndrome.
Nah man, that would be the OBVIOUSLY thing a real human would do when in that situation. In horror universe, they forgot windows exist until the writers put that in
The true horror of this game is that it takes place in a universe where none of the people know that you can just wash your laundry by hand in the sink.
I normally never get jump scared but when you looked back to the creepy guy and he was suddenly crouched close next to you in the bus I could feel the scare inside my body
Apart from the fact that Sara is really dumb, the voice acting is great and the characters are very interesting. Mostly Stan. Everyone needs a neighbor like Stan. We stan Stan
I gotta say, if a random woman going around asking questions to people in the area and looking around was able to crack a decade old cold case/serial murders then I gotta question if the police were even doing anything at all? Like how were they stumped by this lol
Just like real life. Cops are either very stupid when it comes to crime outside of their own clique, and very clever when it comes to covering up their own murders
40:38 this makes literally no sense its implied that she was in the office which has a front row seat to the front door. This game was cool but it seems to devolve into impossible by human actions pseudo supernatural bs
I know, horror and stuff, but oh man, he's right there, he's now stabbing the guy, he's now cutting the guy's neck, HE'S NOW JUST RIGHT THERE IN THE OPEN, just don't give me a gun if I can't blast the murder man standing there asking to get blown away lol
Now, now, hear me out, what if, and I know this might be crazy, you wash the clothes you need for tomorrow in the sink and dry them in the working dryer. "Unlocked the; of fucking course ending"
She’s talking about her boyfriend needing to get his act together for the baby coming, yet you go out at night with a KNOWN murderer hunting specifically pregnant women on the loose & you think you’re ready to be a parent? Girl🙄🤦🏿♂️ Next time just wash that shit in the sink.
Typical horror movie protagonist. I bet she is going to be the kind of mom in horror movies that doesn't believe a shit their kids tell them despite blood and cursed dolls flying around and gets a psychiatrist instead of exorcist. And will only hear them out after she gets stabbed. 🤣🤣🤣
12:00 Well Manly, when taking the rest of her life into account, a crazy man on the bus is probably just another day for her. A normal person wouldn't have stayed on the bus with that scummy driver.
The fact the guy knew she was pregnant (and it's implied she isn't that far along) might make this crazy guy a bit more creepy than what she's used to.
I knew that the womb ripper would still be alive at the end because that's a horror movie cliche that just happens alot of the time in horror movies don't really know why though because most of the time the killer or killers are just ordinary human beings & every once in a while they'll be supernatural or paranormal
This whole game reminds me of a classmate of mine (who’s story I’m allowed to share). She was in a similar situation to Sara’s: boyfriend who was abusive while drunk, and dismissive while sober. She didn’t have a laundry set, so every Saturday, she went to a local laundromat. While she waited, she crocheted. Another lady was always there on Saturdays; a young lass, who went to a nearby college, whose (not actual) name was Beth, Bets for short, since she loved playing cards. Pregnant, a grave-shift worker, and sweet as can be. The two began to talk, my friend even making a baby blanket for Bets. When Bets found out about my friend’s situation, she actually began to stash money for her, to help her get out. When my friend found out, she was obviously touched, and… it’s almost like a classic love story, the two fell head over heels for one another. One night, my friend packed her bags, stashing them in her laundry. The two met up, and drove off, never to hear from the boyfriend again. They’re still together, and have two kids: a baby girl named Jenny, and a young boy named Ace. They’re both hella smart, my friend even making a little dinosaur plush for my nephew called Wrecks, since the plush had little tank treads for feet. They’re absolute legends, I still talk to em two years later, after we met in a sociology course (me and my friend, not me and Bets. I met Bets through my friend).
One of my favorite things is seeing consistent creators works on a channel, and seeing ones like Puppet Combo and Charon as a staple on Manly's channel is nice to see
This game has some legit good voice acting and is pretty entertaining overall. Puppet Combo seems to be improving as a game dev company while still keeping to its niche.
Ive watched you play a game I made and other games you have recently uploaded but I love how you are able to convey the abstract storys presented into a coherent interpretation
Puppet Combo manages to make a much better story than most of the slasher movies I've seen in my life. I hope they continue to do so as I've only grown to enjoy their stuff more and more with each new game.
The way these killeds always have the magical ability to remotely cut off power/lights, obviously teleport, can just survive 7 gunshot wounds to the head and pretty much anything obviously lethal and then just go "Oh its just a normal psychopath" is really just dumb. Give us a paranormal monster OR give us a realistic psycho killer. Stop these magical murderes, unless you actually make them in some way connected with the paranormal. Otherwise, very good game. Extraordinary voice action and nice ranchy graphics.
I agree, this game is just good but the main character and the killer just feels out of place. Like Sara is just fucking dumb in terms of her brain and the killer barely do anything that we'll "Pregnant women killer" would do. He barely killed anyone that IS a women in this game. And then there's the police who is just idiotic as Sara, seriously. The entire game could just end of the police knows how to even shoot his revolver and not just holding it without any ammo
I like how the character’s a girl and her apartment is trashed. lol. Just like mine. And, hey, I’ve desperately needed washing done and my building’s washer as broken for MONTHS and had to brave the laundromat during at creepy times at night lol. Gotta do what you gotta do!
Oh wow this game has so many details you can easily miss I'm glad you went thru as many as you could I didn't even know you could ask people about things you find and that phone call with the girl who tells you to leave was cool. I'm subscribing and watching your other puppet combo playthrough, great video bro.
I've watched so many horror let's plays that I've gotten used to jumpscares, but the creepy guy on the bus got me. This and Otter Island got me for some reason when with most games I just get a chuckle =\
While I personally think certain other Puppet Combo games, like Murder House and Nun Massacre, are better at the sheer horror aspect of things, I really like how the majority of this game is optional exposition that allows the player to learn more about the world and the mystery of the Womb Ripper while having unique, interesting conversations with NPCs. Pretty neat stuff
I found out my friend died 5 years ago via his TH-cam comments last night, I started watching your channel because you reminded me of him His name was TheHero and he was so young. Thank you for giving me something to fill the void I currently feel
I’m sorry for seeming mean and unsympathetic, but were you two just online friends or something? Since you figured out he died from a comment, and not from a mutual friend or family of his. Again, I’m sorry it took this long to learn what happened to him.
@@MultiBoxingKid we were online friends, had been for awhile. I just assumed that he had moved on from youtube and never even thought to see Then I found another video on another person's channel with a statement from his cousin letting people know he had passed on the 13th Feb 2016 You don't sound mean or unsympathetic, I understand wanting to know because I never clarified. I used to leave him a message in our dms every year or so asking if he was okay.
I must say, I had absolutely different expectations about the ending. Spoilers ahead, obviously. I thought about some "Friday the 13" kind of twist, where Samantha survives and her child does too. But the child ends up, well, wrong in some way, so he becomes the killer, with his mother perhaps aiding him in one way or another. Pretty typical, surely, but that was my assumption. Still, a very good game, probably one of the best from this dev.

A police officer who's alone wanders around the killers den, and doesn't shoot his gun even though he saw the killer kill an officer worker. And the killer mocks us by being naked. This was incredibly funny.
Had time to shoot the killer twice
the killer wasn't a "he" that's like the whole point
And the killer being alive in the epilogue
This game fully embraces the "came back wrong" and "evil stupid" tropes combined!
Yeah it's the whole 70s/80s horror movie stuff. Every character is a moron
Okay, here's my question: You caught the last bus going there, now how the fuck do you think you'll get back? Doing laundry takes at least an hour in my experience. What SHOULD have been done is the instant the creepy guy seemingly makes a threat on your life, call the cops for protection AND get a free ride home.
She was planning on sleeping at a seat in the laundromat and taking the first bus back
That is the happiest ending yet of a “Puppet Combo” game. It’s going for the stereotypical slasher ending, sure, but hey it’s unambiguous what happens to Sara and her loser boyfriend is still alive, not like the ambiguous ending in “Murder House”. I just hope she skips town after that shit.
How was Murder House's ending ambiguous? It pretty clearly ended with the Easter Killer dying and the protagonist escaping.
@@deen7530 I mean, what was that light that appeared in the end, and what was with zombies? Of course, thanks to the extended ending showing that it was all a movie, that ending can be explained as just a weird ending that happens in some movies. Although, that doesn’t explain what was in the car with the protagonist; is it just the costume or was there someone really in her trunk?
man she needs to dump him
@@TheSoCalledZoner1 and let the child be one parent short?
@@blueknight2983 Unless the boyfriend wisen up, it's better off that he's not involved in a family he doesn't even want. He's probably going to leave halfway into the kid's life.
Man, sara's voice was really nice and soothing
Almost as soothing as Manly's.
Thanks! ❤
@@ScarilyOlivia NO WAY 💀💀💀
No Problem though!
This could have been avoided if Sara washed her clothes in either the bathtub or sink for her interview. And the code was for the safe in the Appliance store, you would have received a picture that would have provided more dialogue.
I kinda knew the killer was gonna be a woman who lost her child. I feel bad for her because of what happened to her and her child but at the same time I don't because what she did is disgusting.
Your right on the money my guy
i still need to know how sara was expecting to get home since she TOOK THE LAST BUS OUT THERE
maybe we need to live in USA to know how dumb can we be in those situation. I mean, come on, do they even have common sense?
Might've been planning to sleep on a bench inside and take the first bus back.
@@tokiwartooth9935 with a known serial killer specifically targetting pregnant people?? like even without that target on ur back, thats an awful idea for any person that is a woman or has a feminine appearance, you dont just make urself vulnerable like that?
@@onibeebee The same kind of reasoning I'm sure gets ignored by a lot of people who've ever gotten pulled over for a speeding ticket they deserve, lost more than they could afford on a bad bet, got into a wreck while driving intoxicated, got a STI from a random hookup, or got mugged while walking through a dark alley at night in a bad neighborhood: a combination of desperation, skewed priorities, lack of forward thinking, and a false sense of invincibility. I'm sure there's endless reasons people do dumb shit with bad consequences even before they become a horror movie/game protagonist. You can see those traits in Sara the way she interacts with the world around her despite almost all the people around her basically telling her "It's late at night, you're in the sketchiest part of town with a killer on the loose targeting women, GO HOME." If she had any kind of sense, even before going to that 24 hour laundromat I'm sure she could've tried rescheduling her interview, going to a closer/safer laundromat first thing in the morning, or handwashing a set of clothes in her apartment and using the working dryer.
I suppose she could've also been planning to splurge on a cab the way back or that was the last bus going to that part of town but not necessarily the only bus coming back.
@@HanniSeidenba0525 american horror movies are not a reflection of america in real life. we're not perfect, but we're the same as everyone else. we are no less dumb than anyone else. shame to see people still feel the need to dunk on people for living in a random country in a comment thread that never mentioned it in the first place.
y'all talk more about us than we do at this point
I love how well Puppet Combo established Sara as a character and gave a lot of setup to the story. The Voice acting really came in clutch for this game.
I feel like they should have made it a bit crustier sounding like in MurderHouse. The clear audio plus VHS screen just doesn't work for me.
@@XombieLejon66 Same, we need shitty audio
Edit: it wasn't sarcasm if u r wondering
I do like that there was a lot of time for the game to build up Sara as a character, it makes it easier to care about her and more worried about her as the game progresses. Most horror media doesn't always take the time for audiences to care about their characters before things get harrowing (unless their goal is to just provide a creative kill count).
@@XombieLejon66 exactly, maybe not as low quality as murder house but yeah
just so you guys no, puppet combo didnt make this game! they just published it. the creators are torture star and their stuff is pretty close to puppet combo but not exactly? it's all great though :)
Guy getting murdered in real-time: *SCREAMING*
Cop: Hold on, I wanna see where they're going with this...
Yeah bc cops are murderers and awful
15:30 I can't believe manly said "it's empty" and didn't hit us with his famous line "just like my soul"
Sara: I'm a big girl
then why don't you just wash the cloth by hand and use the working dryer machine girllll 🤷
Because she's a *modern, 21st century big girl*
@@artemis1993 dude, the game take place in the 80s. You could say it better like : because she is a modern, USA big girl.
@@HanniSeidenba0525 Oh, my bad. But hey, the 80's aren't too far away from the 21st century, so i guess she already got that modern attitude in her blood lol
Then the game would be a 3min cloth washing sim, not a horror game.
......Have you hand washed a huge pile of clothes? Have you seen how shitty the faucets are at a run down apartment?
I mean yeah haha joke and all. But hand washing takes a lot, that's why before the time of washing machines, hand washing services are very popular, not even the most competent house wives can manage this while managing the entire home.
I see some people suggests 3 minutes of washing time and that's barely the time to wash your underwear clean.
I like the games feeling more like complete games. Also like how not everyone in them is an asshole, felt more like real people aside from the protag's absolute stupidity in going out knowing of a killer with an MO she's perfect for. But hey, slasher flicks love that shit.
This one was only Published by Puppet Combo that's why it is so different
Guess I’ll go to the laundromat while a killer is on the loose!
Just wash the laundry in a utility sink or in the bathtub as best as you can, then stick it in the dryer.
The scariest part of this is the homeless guy with a bachelors degree.
Too real
honestly, Sara and Callgirl had chemistry
Agreed.
I ship Sara and Callgirl so hard
Secret ending: Sara breaks up with Liam and marries Callgirl.
Who is callgirl?
we ship it honestly
I love how the thumbnail just screams puppet combo, then manly immediately says puppet combo. They definitely got a style for sure.
Fuck, that's probably puppet combo's best game yet.
Nice atmosphere, tension building, lack of stupid annoyingly loud screeching sounds, final battle, protag surviving, great music
Man, that was creepy! I would also like to see you play a game called 'House of rules' since you are very good at horror games. I failed to see the ending because it was little too hard for me. Tried to find other streamers who played the game and found one, but he was a Taiwanese so I couldn't understand what he was saying... :(
:3
2:24 Manly: "well this place is-" long pause
Me: What? Scary? Dreadful? A place to avoid?
Manly: "Clean!"
Creepy Old Man: "May I sit beside you?"
All other TH-camrs: "HELL, NO!"
Manly: "Sure, why not."
I feel like after the 10th person telling her she was going to die, oh I don’t know she would’ve just gone home
I dont get why the cops in these game always come by themselves
Limited manpower, maybe
Yeah, it's dumb. Cops *NEVER* go to a scene alone, well at least i sure have never seen one. They always come at least in a pair.
because it's a horror game
@@LowIntSpecimen A horror game with dumb characters is just lazy writing. Everything is predictable and just gets rid of the suspense.
And I don't get why he don't shoot at a naked "guy" who shove a kitchen knife into a man's back and neck just in front of his eyes
I think it relied too much on jumpscares, i like how the killers body shape did kind of look feminine a bit. But the twist jumpscare ending just feels bs
ya and theres the breast form too
Did it? I mean, it spent a good long while doing a build up.
I love manlys slow turn around when there's a perfect setup for a jumpscare
Already watched a playthrough but I can't wait to listen to your commentary about it.
I know his voice is so dreamy
@@khamayounes5426 😳😳😳
Would watch this but my sleep schedule needs to be fixed! Maybe later. I hope anyone reading this has an absolutely excellent day or night!
Hope you have an excellent day or night too ✨✨✨
Omg r u making fun of me?? CANCELLED
Put this on your phone (request desktop site so it keeps playing) and fall asleep to it. The horrible screams make for pleasant dreams!
@@Sephlock Truly to die for method!
Ehhh I wouldn't be TOO sure about the body being identified until work on the body itself is done. You can identify the ID, but the ID doesn't necessarily identify the body.
If you consider the final chase to be more than just the part with the gun, it can work. Ending quickly once the protag gets a big advantage isn't bad, you just have to make sure the last confrontation doesn't start with the advantage.
This is probably Puppet Combo’s best game yet with the voice acting combined with the exposition that really gives you a feel for the character,who she is and what her life is like, and the story was pretty good.
Nah Murder house is their true masterpiece
It was only published by puppet combo,
The player character has the worst case of "dumb horror protagonist" I've ever seen in a while.🤣 That said, I gotta say this isn't one of my favored Puppet Combo games. Can't put my finger on it, since the animations are great and the voice acting has also improved, but i think the concept and scares felt a bit lacking.
Stan gives me Coach Vibes. That "ain't that some shit" really hit me with that vibe
Am I the only one who wish there was an ending where if you shot where the knife went through the vent, you'd just hear a *thump*, and it'd end with the officer and lady both getting to go home?
The you would have to shoot 5-6 times, because the killer is a fucking tank
@@Vespira21 true....for being a naked guy with the stone mask from JoJo phatom blood
*T h u m p* is funne
40:34 - "How am i supposed to get out of here..."
I mean, you could just... Break the windows and leave? Then don't seem reinforced, and it's definitely better to get an early start than trying to stay in the same building as killer is.
But eh, horror protagonist syndrome.
Nah man, that would be the OBVIOUSLY thing a real human would do when in that situation. In horror universe, they forgot windows exist until the writers put that in
I was literally yelling "YOU HAVE A HAMMER!!!" at that part lmao
I mean, this looks like a pretty lousy neighborhood. Maybe they ARE enforced.
The true horror of this game is that it takes place in a universe where none of the people know that you can just wash your laundry by hand in the sink.
Especially considering the dryer wasn't busted
no fr. hell when i moved to a new place w/o a washer i just did my laundry in the bathtub lol. bit of dishsoap and water works a charm in a pinch
I normally never get jump scared but when you looked back to the creepy guy and he was suddenly crouched close next to you in the bus I could feel the scare inside my body
I freakin love how Manly know all the tropes of a horror game. Just keep turning behind you. 😂😂😂
Apart from the fact that Sara is really dumb, the voice acting is great and the characters are very interesting. Mostly Stan. Everyone needs a neighbor like Stan. We stan Stan
Yeah!! I love Stan
Dump Liam, stan Stan
I think the creator confirmed that he even arranged for Sara to stay with his sister till she could get her own place allowing her to dump that loser,
oh wow a horror flick trope. wooooooooow.
I felt like this game was going to go full Death Flush with the punnyness and the killer was going to be called the spin dry killer.
Manly singing Junko Ohashi's "Telephone Number" made me smile
I LOVE HOW YOU NOTICED THAT
Same. I sang along with him :) it was so cute. 10/10, would listen to manly sing city pop again.
Same i was like city pop yessss ❤️
I gotta say, if a random woman going around asking questions to people in the area and looking around was able to crack a decade old cold case/serial murders then I gotta question if the police were even doing anything at all? Like how were they stumped by this lol
Just like real life. Cops are either very stupid when it comes to crime outside of their own clique, and very clever when it comes to covering up their own murders
40:38 this makes literally no sense its implied that she was in the office which has a front row seat to the front door. This game was cool but it seems to devolve into impossible by human actions pseudo supernatural bs
"devolve into impossible by human actions pseudo supernatural bs"
Sooooo.....your average old slasher film, then.
I know, horror and stuff, but oh man, he's right there, he's now stabbing the guy, he's now cutting the guy's neck, HE'S NOW JUST RIGHT THERE IN THE OPEN, just don't give me a gun if I can't blast the murder man standing there asking to get blown away lol
Stan's a good man. Jo seems nice too but jumpy.
Now, now, hear me out, what if, and I know this might be crazy, you wash the clothes you need for tomorrow in the sink and dry them in the working dryer. "Unlocked the; of fucking course ending"
She’s talking about her boyfriend needing to get his act together for the baby coming, yet you go out at night with a KNOWN murderer hunting specifically pregnant women on the loose & you think you’re ready to be a parent? Girl🙄🤦🏿♂️
Next time just wash that shit in the sink.
Typical horror movie protagonist. I bet she is going to be the kind of mom in horror movies that doesn't believe a shit their kids tell them despite blood and cursed dolls flying around and gets a psychiatrist instead of exorcist. And will only hear them out after she gets stabbed. 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously. She could have used the sink or the tub and then bring the clothes down to the dryer. So simple.
@@sabbathb6548 Liam was in the restroom
@@Orokorra-Flantxo True, but the kitchen sink was still available.
@@sabbathb6548 Ever tried to wash clothes in a kitchen sink? That’s very difficult
Really good voice acting with super crisp audio is the last thing I'd have expected from Puppet Combo
12:00 Well Manly, when taking the rest of her life into account, a crazy man on the bus is probably just another day for her. A normal person wouldn't have stayed on the bus with that scummy driver.
The fact the guy knew she was pregnant (and it's implied she isn't that far along) might make this crazy guy a bit more creepy than what she's used to.
What was the safe code for tho? I kinda wish the game told us what happened afterwards with Sara and the other characters.
See this is why I don’t do laundry! Take this, mom!
I knew that the womb ripper would still be alive at the end because that's a horror movie cliche that just happens alot of the time in horror movies don't really know why though because most of the time the killer or killers are just ordinary human beings & every once in a while they'll be supernatural or paranormal
It's pretty amazing how easy it is to turn various subjects into horror.
26:36
Jenny, don't change your number...
Police Officer: "I don't keep it loaded Son, you're gonna have to find ammo along the way."
The bus driver has me rolling. What a desperate creep 😂
You missed a whole store in the game and it was killing me...the appliances store next to the pizza place :(
Manly: We could end up surviving
*lights comically turn off*
Manly: or not
This whole game reminds me of a classmate of mine (who’s story I’m allowed to share).
She was in a similar situation to Sara’s: boyfriend who was abusive while drunk, and dismissive while sober. She didn’t have a laundry set, so every Saturday, she went to a local laundromat. While she waited, she crocheted. Another lady was always there on Saturdays; a young lass, who went to a nearby college, whose (not actual) name was Beth, Bets for short, since she loved playing cards. Pregnant, a grave-shift worker, and sweet as can be. The two began to talk, my friend even making a baby blanket for Bets. When Bets found out about my friend’s situation, she actually began to stash money for her, to help her get out. When my friend found out, she was obviously touched, and… it’s almost like a classic love story, the two fell head over heels for one another. One night, my friend packed her bags, stashing them in her laundry. The two met up, and drove off, never to hear from the boyfriend again. They’re still together, and have two kids: a baby girl named Jenny, and a young boy named Ace. They’re both hella smart, my friend even making a little dinosaur plush for my nephew called Wrecks, since the plush had little tank treads for feet. They’re absolute legends, I still talk to em two years later, after we met in a sociology course (me and my friend, not me and Bets. I met Bets through my friend).
That’s awesome
I love the voice acting, especially Sara's neighbor! When he asks if she needs help, he's so sincere!
One of my favorite things is seeing consistent creators works on a channel, and seeing ones like Puppet Combo and Charon as a staple on Manly's channel is nice to see
This game has some legit good voice acting and is pretty entertaining overall. Puppet Combo seems to be improving as a game dev company while still keeping to its niche.
"a game presented by puppet combo" ah shit, here we go again.
Ive watched you play a game I made and other games you have recently uploaded but I love how you are able to convey the abstract storys presented into a coherent interpretation
Oh naw, after the second “CaNiSiThErE” homeboy would have gotten that two piece 👊👊
Puppet Combo manages to make a much better story than most of the slasher movies I've seen in my life. I hope they continue to do so as I've only grown to enjoy their stuff more and more with each new game.
36:35 even manly had to take a step back
The way these killeds always have the magical ability to remotely cut off power/lights, obviously teleport, can just survive 7 gunshot wounds to the head and pretty much anything obviously lethal and then just go "Oh its just a normal psychopath" is really just dumb.
Give us a paranormal monster OR give us a realistic psycho killer.
Stop these magical murderes, unless you actually make them in some way connected with the paranormal.
Otherwise, very good game. Extraordinary voice action and nice ranchy graphics.
I agree, this game is just good but the main character and the killer just feels out of place. Like Sara is just fucking dumb in terms of her brain and the killer barely do anything that we'll "Pregnant women killer" would do. He barely killed anyone that IS a women in this game. And then there's the police who is just idiotic as Sara, seriously. The entire game could just end of the police knows how to even shoot his revolver and not just holding it without any ammo
I like how the character’s a girl and her apartment is trashed. lol. Just like mine. And, hey, I’ve desperately needed washing done and my building’s washer as broken for MONTHS and had to brave the laundromat during at creepy times at night lol. Gotta do what you gotta do!
Oh wow this game has so many details you can easily miss I'm glad you went thru as many as you could I didn't even know you could ask people about things you find and that phone call with the girl who tells you to leave was cool. I'm subscribing and watching your other puppet combo playthrough, great video bro.
This is actually how it felt to go to the laundromat with my mom at night
I've watched so many horror let's plays that I've gotten used to jumpscares, but the creepy guy on the bus got me. This and Otter Island got me for some reason when with most games I just get a chuckle =\
While I personally think certain other Puppet Combo games, like Murder House and Nun Massacre, are better at the sheer horror aspect of things, I really like how the majority of this game is optional exposition that allows the player to learn more about the world and the mystery of the Womb Ripper while having unique, interesting conversations with NPCs. Pretty neat stuff
43:33 🤣 him cycling through the weapons "remote control power protect me!! no no no umm Gameboy Advance power!.. no no no" 😂
I found out my friend died 5 years ago via his TH-cam comments last night, I started watching your channel because you reminded me of him
His name was TheHero and he was so young.
Thank you for giving me something to fill the void I currently feel
I’m sorry for seeming mean and unsympathetic, but were you two just online friends or something? Since you figured out he died from a comment, and not from a mutual friend or family of his. Again, I’m sorry it took this long to learn what happened to him.
@@MultiBoxingKid we were online friends, had been for awhile. I just assumed that he had moved on from youtube and never even thought to see
Then I found another video on another person's channel with a statement from his cousin letting people know he had passed on the 13th Feb 2016
You don't sound mean or unsympathetic, I understand wanting to know because I never clarified.
I used to leave him a message in our dms every year or so asking if he was okay.
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope better days are on your horizon.
I simply adore the energy of 30:00 what a power move
54:44 "Just a fridge where I keep my lunch and miscellaneous body parts"
I'm sorry what ?
47:36 she said "mmm uh yeah nice pit you got here I'm not going over that" 🤣🤣
Don't know how that explains Samantha having superhuman strength though, nor why the old laundromat is HUGE.
I love the way he keeps so calm in every scare part
I’d rather wash my clothes in my bathtub than go out of town for a laundromat
that ending was soooo intense when Manly started to expect something is behind him and start to turn around slowly, my poor heart :')
I must say, I had absolutely different expectations about the ending. Spoilers ahead, obviously.
I thought about some "Friday the 13" kind of twist, where Samantha survives and her child does too. But the child ends up, well, wrong in some way, so he becomes the killer, with his mother perhaps aiding him in one way or another. Pretty typical, surely, but that was my assumption.
Still, a very good game, probably one of the best from this dev.
