"Why the Donald Duck noises?" Because this game is inspired by the movie "The New York Ripper" by Lucio Fulci. In that movie there's a killer that murders prostitutes whit a switch blade while dressed all in black and making Duck noises. He also calls the police several times doing a Donald Duck impression
I’m glad someone else got the reference. Also the eye stabbing was a clear reference to Fulci’s film Zombi. Puppet Combo is clearly a huge fan of the classics.
Tim Rachael there's a killer going around town. Rachael: Don't worry, I just live around the corner I'll be fine..Sides I'm not a prostitute. Morgan Freeman: Little did Rachael know, her entire city was as confusing as her reasoning.
I presume it's inspired by the Lower East Side (LES) of New York, which in the late 70s / early 80s was a borderline wasteland. Look it up, I wrote a paper about it in college for a political science course.
The architecture is extremely making me anxious...was it on purpose? Massive hallway, extra narrow alley, extra narrow staircase..dark corridors and tiny edge of rooftops..slums and underground maze..it's like the perfect hell for sanity
Matthew Johnson He found the S.I.N.K. Central Intelligence from the Big Mountain Research Facility!!! Had no idea this game took place in the fallout universe. (sorry my joke is trash)
14:41-15:13 I think I can answer your question John. I think the developer based this game on a film known as the New York Ripper. That movie had a killer who would quack like a duck as he viciously murders people, mostly women. Also, JESUS MAN, the Nightripper just flat out Usain Bolted out of his car the moment he saw you.
My faith in humanity is slightly restored now that I know there's some devs out there who understand the best way to scare players is to give them control and don't spell out what to do or what's going to scare them with little time to react when shit hits the fan
There is no "best way". Different people get scared by different things. The best way would be to have the constant dread of the threat but not have the threat itself appear that much, so that when it does, the dread resets and the player is stuck cowering in fear for an hour until the threat finally comes. But sometimes that doesn't even work, but giving the player control is definitely a great way to make the player more scared.
Jumpscare list (woop woop) 14:41 (Nightripper sees him; dies) 21:18 (Not really a jumpscare, but he does appear and doesn't kill John) 28:58 (Gets chased by the Nightripper; dies) 29:29 (Nightripper appears, but doesn't kill John) 38:10-38:27 (Nightripper appears, but doesn't kill John) 42:59 (Nightripper appears, but doesn't kill John) 44:24 (Not sure if I should count this one, but there is a scream.) 47:30 (There is a body that drops) Hope this helps.
Omg I love you thank you 💖 I like watching horror but I have anxiety, yeah I know I'm dumb for still watching horror but I really enjoy it😬, these list reallyyyy help ❤❤❤
Your ending glitched out. She sits in front of the tv as the credits roll. Then you hear a crack, she gets up and turns around and you hear the quack noise. Then it fades to black. Edit: There is also a gun in the subway, but you can't kill the quacker, just de-spawn him for a while
ASMR_ ListeneR Well, supposedly. Since after hearing the crack, Rachael will say, "What was that?" or something else----I don't know. So, yeah it was implicitly implied that she was killed when the screen fades to black.
Puppet Combo has an amazing way of conveying horrifying situations. It has a unique style and is actually scary, it has great balance unlike some Indie games (Bendy I'm looking at you.)
Bendy is one of those games in which the developer tried to create a story with various ideas but unfortunately the execution of it was terrible and a bit of mess especially in the latter episodes.
At 39:40 I may realize the plot of this game. John has picked up cocaine and pills. Things that make a dead body seem like a prostitute. If the character dies and a news article is printed and says something like "the body was found with drugs and is believed to be a prostitute" then we know that maybe the Ripper has been killing normal people the whole time...and each time they just do what John did, run around and happen to collect prostitute-esque items... Am I right? 😃
That actually makes a lot of sense. Which means the Night Ripper has been throwing the police off because people's curiosity helps him avoid getting the public to freak out.
You can see that the developers know how to make people be afraid in the game. Instead of jumpscares, this game utilizes a good atmosphere, combined with its retro(and creepy-ish) music, it slowly builds up the player's frustration and fear. The environment of the game (despite i do think the area is a bit too abandoned) the theme of it does give you a sense of dread, another factor to build up being afraid in the game. And of course another hidden part where most rarely consciously are aware that, you can't kill the antagonist. That's a small but imo a crucial fear factor. If you can kill the antagonist that will quickly let the player have the confidence/bravery to continue/finish the game, making the game not scary. For this game i do felt a bit directions for players to know where to move could be useful, of course wandering around increases nervousness and anxiousness which can make the game "scary" But being stuck for 10 minutes may make players not enjoy it. Another thing is i suppose there could be more to the ending...? Perhaps (just like other horror games) a killer stands behind the protagonist. Or a (original) plot twist where Butch/Dj is the Night Ripper. Just seeing that the protagonist sitting not on the couch watching Tv, while the killer is still outside wandering, kinda makes me feel a bit disappointed. But overall, i think this is a properly well made horror game. You can SEE and FEEL the effort that are committed by the developers in the game. You feel afraid not because of pure jumpscares, but because of how the atmosphere, the sound effects/music, the theme of the game stacks up your fear meter, afraid of getting caught, having only 3 lives, etc all these elements shows how considerate and thoughtful of the developers were when creating the game. 8/10 from me :)
Well, my ending bugged out - if the ending renders correctly, you hear a knock at the door at the end. It's a shame I didn't get it, but it does wrap things up pretty nicely
Yeah, to me it's a lot better than Powerdrill Massacre, mainly because that game, despite it's well develop atmosphere and the sense of dread, was kinda unfair for the player. I mean, the building was confusing and easy to get lost in, the controls were awful, and the jumpscares whenever the killer appeared were unneccesary because of how little the game prepares you whenever the killer was near by and how it startled you so much that you couldn't react to it. Idk, puppet combos recent games are a lot better than the older ones to me.
I watch a few of the really well-known LPers, and wow I gotta say its refreshing to see someone who consistently completes games even if that means having to redo a lot after a game over instead of just ending the video. And who looks up what happened if there's a bug/glitch instead of just leaving it at that.
Graphically wise, it's supposed to look like a PS1 era game (which was in the 90s), but the setting, musical sore and general aesthetic is very 80s to me.
@SXM: Xairid I swear it's New York City. The game was inspired by the 1982 slasher film The New York Ripper (the dev said so), and the areas in this game looks like they were inspired from Manhattan's Lower East Side and the South Bronx during the 1980s.
"We found the one sink in the entire city guys." followed by confusion at the duck-faced killer showing up. Well, he has been chasing you all over the city wearing a duck shaped oven on his head. I would think he knows exactly where the one source of drinkable source of water in the entire city is that isn't in a toilet bowl.
I don't know what's so unsettling about these games, but Puppet Combo is really onto something. Maybe the fact that everything is so low res that almost ANYTHING can be mistaken for an enemy?
Even 2 years later this is still one of my most favorite videos. I love it when youtubers are into the games they play. He gets into character and its so entertaining and fun to watch! I love watching John when he's enjoying himself.
The sound whenever you pick up something up. It sounds exactly like those 2 long oval magnets when I was younger(or at least similar.) Anybody else remember those? They were really strong and they could make that noise when you let them cling together.
The scary part about the guy on the radio? Some actually believe that if someone murders prostitutes/homeless people and or addicts that there isn't an issue, as they don't matter...
MsAquamonkey There are tons of people with horrifying views out there, who were most likely raised by parents with those same views. They see certain people as worthless/not human, and want them dead, or beaten into submission. You can see it in the news, but imo, it's even more frightening hearing the words straight from a person's mouth (as opposed to hearing a mere headline).
who cares. it's not like you libfascist don't want republicans dead. what's a few dead whores here and there. human garbage in my opinion that cops shouldn't waste thier time with.
"he /definitely/ went down." *immediately goes down as well* john you're making poor rachel into the stupid preppy girl who's second or third to die in a horror movie because her boyfriend was trying to show off his bravery
I mean to be fair, she was already that girl for walking home in the hood, at night, with a serial killer on the lose and no weapon, when a coworker would have given her a ride.
Also for ignoring 3 buildings (the peep houses and the hotel) that seemed opened and could have let her stay in till the cops come. (I know it's a horror game and the main characters always make stupid decisions, but I think it's fun to think about the stupidity and come up with better solutions.)
Your scared noises are the best. “Oh oh oh, gasp, no, no, mh mh” Then all the questions you ask them, you crack me up. Keep being you John, I’ll never get tired of it.
When I saw the title I read it as Night Tripper lol. Great video, John! Also jeez, this guys killed 3 girls in a WEEK? Damn thats a full blown spree, the police’s lack of interest is appalling even if its the 80s and the only known victims were prostitutes.
The AI was definitely lacking so I think they should work on that. John should have died a few times here. Otherwise, not a bad game. Could use more 'life'--a little too barren until the end.
mr savage lol what. Can't just tell ppl to sub. Get top comment, then people might check your channel that way. Advertising your own channel on somebody else's isn't the way to go.
mr savage ye seriously fuck off...you have asked most of the people that have commented on this amazing video that you wish you could make Jokes aside it's not very smart asking people to sub...if your channel is good that will happen automatically Now listen if you think that asking for subs will get you them ...your wrong subs are earned not asked for
I loved the idea of evading a killer. A real situational fear is always more scary to me than any monster. I agree with you that the DJ was probably the killer. I thought interesting that the cocaine she picked up & the areas she was running in made her fit the victim profile of a drugged-out prostitute. I didn't get the purpose of the pilss - every fall or attack by DuckMan was fatal - were they health? or just another "druggie" thing to again make her fit the profile? A little map would be a wonderful addition or the character saying something like, I need to keep going west, etc bc she may know where her apartment is, but the player sure doesn't. Also, the roof part needs some fixing so her feet don't drift to the right. The newspaper info was fairly repetitive, but that could be necessary if you didn't read one once, you had multiple chances. Very cool, but I'm glad you didn't keep the VHS aesthetic, as it made it hard to see. I can't imagine you doing the roof board parkour with fuzz. Very enjoyable to watch - I wish they would keep refining it.
I believe there is a 80s movie called The New York Ripper that features a killer that speaks in a Donald Duck voice... maybe by Lucio Fulchi or Mario Bava...? Somebody like that... can anybody help me out?
The eye piercing with the knife is inspired by this other serial killer who had a defected eye the notes are from the zodiac killer and the killing of prostitutes from jack the ripper in the 1800s London
I actually wasn't expecting to like this because of the graphics. (I was reminded of Grandma before someone hits me with the "graphics don't equate how good a game is" thing). I actually really enjoyed this. I wasn't overtly terrified but I do think some of the struggles and tasks were cool and nice touches (i.e., losing your keys and needing to find $0.10 to make a pay phone call to your roommate or 911) as well as inventive. I'm interested in seeing their other games now and how they look.
“Something tells me we will be running for our lives very shortly” gosh do I wish I could watch one horror good horror movie with you. I love your commentary. One of my favorite things to do is make fun of horror movies while watching them. Most people hate talking I love it.
The guy on the radio says, "Oh gawd. Fuck" all sexual when John makes her change into her street clothes. You have to wear headphones and listen. It's at 3:59 to almost 4:03
apparently there are other ways to play it but i found out if you get a key to the room in the subway you can actually get a gun, but it doesnt appear to do anything but get the killer to change direction to run from you after you shoot him, for a very limited duration.
I just want you to know you've become one of my favorite youtubers. Sometimes on my days off I just sit and watch your videos all day. I love your videos!!
shaei b Not sure if they change the test every year but when I took the AP test last year it was surprisingly very easy. The FRQ was really hard though.
The way the environment looks. Every time I watch this vid, I think that there is an alternate universe where life and cities are actually like this. Just seems so run down and lifeless. Perfect setting for this game
So glad I came across John’s channel, not sure if this was the first video I watched of him or dark web game. But I think this was my first puppet combo gameplay and I really love this gameplay despite this not being my number 1 puppet combo game. Anyway I really like John and I am happy he is doing well with his family and his baby ❤ and wow this video is 6 years old 😭 I am feeling old now haha
Rorschach the radio DJ was never very popular, with his screeds about "cleansing the filth" and such, so after the NightRipper incident he was terminated. He later found a comfortable home on Sirus co-hosting with a neo-Nazi.
I am glad I learned of your second channel. Both of them upload enough content to keep me entertained daily. I should visit your Twitch channel more as well if I can find the time for it.

Maybe the fact that everything is so low res that almost ANYTHING can be mistaken for an enemy?
That synth, those dilapidated buildings, the grainyness, that stealth... I'm getting a strong Manhunt vibe from this.
Even 2 years later this is still one of my most favorite videos. I love it when youtubers are into the games they play. He gets into character and its so entertaining and fun to watch! I love watching John when he's enjoying himself.
Everyone is gone because they decided not having sinks was a bad idea
"Peep show?! Thats a good comedy."
John thank you for showing your good taste in tv comedies, Peep Show is fantastic.
The sound whenever you pick up something up. It sounds exactly like those 2 long oval magnets when I was younger(or at least similar.) Anybody else remember those? They were really strong and they could make that noise when you let them cling together.
Morganthe i still have mine and I'm 20 now
Dude stop begging for subscribers on someone else's channel like how much of a fucking scumbag are you
Omg i remember those. idk what happened to mine
Wow, you're right as well. I've still got mine!
Like the Sizzlers??
I really love how Butch’s face looks like it’s photoshopped onto his head. It looks so much more detailed than Rachel’s face
Kids these days! back in my day we had to parkour across the rooftops to get home.
Night Ripper got some serious compititon: Gravity
EDIT: so Is john going to get to his front door and go: "Oh right i need my keys to get in"
compitition
*(edited)*
animeposter strikes once again
ultimaT t
The only thing more deadly than the Night Ripper is the commute home.
I woder if you could have gone back down to get them
ultimaT nah his competition is not being able to look left or right
The scary part about the guy on the radio? Some actually believe that if someone murders prostitutes/homeless people and or addicts that there isn't an issue, as they don't matter...
MsAquamonkey There are tons of people with horrifying views out there, who were most likely raised by parents with those same views. They see certain people as worthless/not human, and want them dead, or beaten into submission. You can see it in the news, but imo, it's even more frightening hearing the words straight from a person's mouth (as opposed to hearing a mere headline).
It wouldnt surprise me if that guy was the killer...
who cares. it's not like you libfascist don't want republicans dead. what's a few dead whores here and there. human garbage in my opinion that cops shouldn't waste thier time with.
Good bait mate.
the sad thing is that guy isn't baiting
This game is *so* good at building tension
Everyone: hey rachel, you want a ride home
Rachel: no u
The fuck did I just read?
@@grimes558 I'm don't even remember writing this lol
9:20 that bowerings animal feed is an exact building in my town, it made me trip balls when I saw it in this game 😭
Omg, seriously? Oooh XD
"he /definitely/ went down." *immediately goes down as well* john you're making poor rachel into the stupid preppy girl who's second or third to die in a horror movie because her boyfriend was trying to show off his bravery
I mean to be fair, she was already that girl for walking home in the hood, at night, with a serial killer on the lose and no weapon, when a coworker would have given her a ride.
Also for ignoring 3 buildings (the peep houses and the hotel) that seemed opened and could have let her stay in till the cops come. (I know it's a horror game and the main characters always make stupid decisions, but I think it's fun to think about the stupidity and come up with better solutions.)
This is a big wooshsception here
The game over scene when she falls and dies is super cool
I am the shock!! A decent flashlight in a horror game?! 😱 V good!!!
My current favourite quotes from John:
"Why did I use cocaine?!" and
"Quack, quack, stay back."
Your scared noises are the best. “Oh oh oh, gasp, no, no, mh mh” Then all the questions you ask them, you crack me up. Keep being you John, I’ll never get tired of it.
When I saw the title I read it as Night Tripper lol. Great video, John! Also jeez, this guys killed 3 girls in a WEEK? Damn thats a full blown spree, the police’s lack of interest is appalling even if its the 80s and the only known victims were prostitutes.
At 29:25 I felt my heart stop for a sec. Thanks for the spoops, John!
mr savage you again, stop begging.
mr savage No
Admittedly I don’t watch this channel often but that was the first time I’ve seen him react to a scare. That’s when you know the game is good!
The AI was definitely lacking so I think they should work on that. John should have died a few times here. Otherwise, not a bad game. Could use more 'life'--a little too barren until the end.
There was more to the ending johns glitched
Gravity: Omae wa mou shindeiru
Rachel: Nani?!
Watching John Wolfe’s long Puppet Combo videos while playing Minecraft is literally the best thing in this world
Only a minute in and I'm already loving the game. The
A E S T H E T I C S tho. Currently at 21:00, my god my heart is pounding.
mr savage lol what. Can't just tell ppl to sub. Get top comment, then people might check your channel that way. Advertising your own channel on somebody else's isn't the way to go.
mr savage No, stop spamming this everywhere.
mr savage ye seriously fuck off...you have asked most of the people that have commented on this amazing video that you wish you could make
Jokes aside it's not very smart asking people to sub...if your channel is good that will happen automatically
Now listen if you think that asking for subs will get you them ...your wrong subs are earned not asked for
Currently at 21:00 and I just can't...
Aslı Altınkılıç enjoyed the video then....did you manage it, personally doesn't hit any of my fears but it was fun
Horror games give me so much anxiety but I need to watch John
Pearl Girls and john plays so many bad ones. Its not that bad
Mee toooo
In case anyone's wondering, the quacking is a reference to New York Ripper, an 80s giallo film.
Konstance Miles si,è vero.ciao
"NOW WE'RE IN THE SLUMS BUT WHAT WAS THAT BEFORE???"
I CRACKED UP TIL NEXT MONDAY
I love how immersed John got into this game almost immediately. This is one of my favorite puppet combo games too! They're freaking amazing.
Just as I was losing hope and finding boredom with TH-cam... Here's John Wolfe!!!
Hard same
😅true
I loved the idea of evading a killer. A real situational fear is always more scary to me than any monster. I agree with you that the DJ was probably the killer. I thought interesting that the cocaine she picked up & the areas she was running in made her fit the victim profile of a drugged-out prostitute. I didn't get the purpose of the pilss - every fall or attack by DuckMan was fatal - were they health? or just another "druggie" thing to again make her fit the profile?
A little map would be a wonderful addition or the character saying something like, I need to keep going west, etc bc she may know where her apartment is, but the player sure doesn't. Also, the roof part needs some fixing so her feet don't drift to the right. The newspaper info was fairly repetitive, but that could be necessary if you didn't read one once, you had multiple chances. Very cool, but I'm glad you didn't keep the VHS aesthetic, as it made it hard to see. I can't imagine you doing the roof board parkour with fuzz. Very enjoyable to watch - I wish they would keep refining it.
The pills help with adrenaline, that means you can actually escape him when chased.
This game is like a 80s horror movie. but if it was an 80s horror game it would of been 2D instead of 3D. despite the retro graphics
I believe there is a 80s movie called The New York Ripper that features a killer that speaks in a Donald Duck voice... maybe by Lucio Fulchi or Mario Bava...? Somebody like that... can anybody help me out?
Maeve Riden yeah! This game seems to be a big send up to New York Ripper
Maeve Riden Yeah it was Lucio Fulci
The eye piercing with the knife is inspired by this other serial killer who had a defected eye the notes are from the zodiac killer and the killing of prostitutes from jack the ripper in the 1800s London
m.th-cam.com/video/yYK1baifv-k/w-d-xo.html
Kaitlyn Keller oh man, the Snob...
“I’m on the intersection between Conch and Coral!”
The DJ definitely feels like the killer (though when there's only one or two speaking NPCs that's usually the case). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
John’s clarification on “slipping” 👌🏼
There is no greater arch nemesis to John than first person platforming. Lest we forget his Cry of Fear playthrough.
The ending feels like such a relief. Home is good.
"What if I sold you... Some cocaine?" 42:13
lol
Crackden? Shouldn't it be...
QUACK-den?
i'll show myself out
Overdose on flintstone gummies vitamins for that joke
got 'em
No you don't! i'm gonna throw you out
Please do.
no no, you can stay.
I actually wasn't expecting to like this because of the graphics. (I was reminded of Grandma before someone hits me with the "graphics don't equate how good a game is" thing). I actually really enjoyed this. I wasn't overtly terrified but I do think some of the struggles and tasks were cool and nice touches (i.e., losing your keys and needing to find $0.10 to make a pay phone call to your roommate or 911) as well as inventive. I'm interested in seeing their other games now and how they look.
this the best horror game in 2018 for me
mr savage 😂🔫
mr savage You are a parasite.
Afraid of ducks Key_Tandi? XD
Key_Tandi nope
One of few to keep my interest
That fall death is amazing.
“Something tells me we will be running for our lives very shortly” gosh do I wish I could watch one horror good horror movie with you. I love your commentary. One of my favorite things to do is make fun of horror movies while watching them. Most people hate talking I love it.
The guy on the radio says, "Oh gawd. Fuck" all sexual when John makes her change into her street clothes. You have to wear headphones and listen. It's at 3:59 to almost 4:03
Creepy as fuck, good catch on that!
@@a_basic_beach thanks 😊
Yeah!! keep playing!!!!
Also Silent House is full released, just saying.......
I can’t handle anything scary, I’m just here to listen to your majestic voice.
mr savage fuck off
TwinbornPlanet0 What is your cute profile icon hahahaha
TwinbornPlanet0 Blackwatch has more fun.
Hecc is this grammar?
Same here.
apparently there are other ways to play it but i found out if you get a key to the room in the subway you can actually get a gun, but it doesnt appear to do anything but get the killer to change direction to run from you after you shoot him, for a very limited duration.
I feel like the atmosphere of the night in a dangerous place of a town it's really well made, it got me terrified and paranoic all the time
I just want you to know you've become one of my favorite youtubers. Sometimes on my days off I just sit and watch your videos all day. I love your videos!!
Should be studying for my AP psych exam but I'm here so that's that
shaei b Not sure if they change the test every year but when I took the AP test last year it was surprisingly very easy. The FRQ was really hard though.
Mood! Monday is gonna kill me 💔
Wings if that’s true I’ll pass that in a heartbeat. I get constant 85’s and up on all of my tests and assignments so thanks for that
Same here. I should be studying for my Heat Transfer final.
I need to study for AP bio
I wonder what happens if you call 911 instead?
The line is busy.
Unoriginal, but makes sense :O) thanks!
AQS 33 hai un bel canale amico,yu like italian films?ciao
that item pickup sound haha
i’ve rewatched this video so many times. such a good game.
the sp00kiest part of this game is the fact that she's wearing the hideous Wesley Crusher sweater
That Rick Springfield reference made me smile ear to ear.
You're the best John.
The most horrifying part of the experience?
Hearing Rick Springfield lyrics. _Shudder._
setech nope but check out my music
CAUSE SHE'S WATCHIN HIM WITH THOSE EYES
The way the environment looks. Every time I watch this vid, I think that there is an alternate universe where life and cities are actually like this. Just seems so run down and lifeless. Perfect setting for this game
So glad I came across John’s channel, not sure if this was the first video I watched of him or dark web game. But I think this was my first puppet combo gameplay and I really love this gameplay despite this not being my number 1 puppet combo game.
Anyway I really like John and I am happy he is doing well with his family and his baby ❤ and wow this video is 6 years old 😭 I am feeling old now haha
Rorschach the radio DJ was never very popular, with his screeds about "cleansing the filth" and such, so after the NightRipper incident he was terminated. He later found a comfortable home on Sirus co-hosting with a neo-Nazi.
DrakeBarrow nope but check out my music
I am glad I learned of your second channel. Both of them upload enough content to keep me entertained daily. I should visit your Twitch channel more as well if I can find the time for it.
John I think our protagonist lives in Detroit.
foxy the pirate Not all of Detroit looks like this, ever seen Sherwood Forest or Palmer woods? West side? Looks like she lives on the east side of Detroit, to be honest
nut Yeah i meant East side
Agreed
foxy the pirate the dude on the news said New York City
It almost looks like Carcer City from Manhunt
Please say you are going to play their newest one- Stay Out of the House. I need to see someone who actually appreciates their games play more! lol
This is my favorite video from John
