Welcome to the Happy Commenters Club, how Happy Commenters are ya?
Super happy commenter here!
omg manly im early and its finally not near my bed time!
Very happy I'd say
*I'm so happy when you post Manly Kun...*
Welp
As the proverb goes, "A child who is not embraced by the village will gain force powers from a demon and commit mass murder."
Reminds me of Carrie but with a demon
Isn’t Carrie demonic?
Morbius?
Naruto: allow me to introduce myself
Reminds me of me
The game is set in the traditional finnish juhannus-setting. It's celebrated in june as a celebration of midsummer.
They thought it would give them good luck in getting married and the fields would have a larger yield. It was also believed that ghosts and spirits would rise to haunt during the event, hence the paranormal setting. And the bullying part was just to teach humility back in the days, "hunsvotti" is a badly behaving child or young adult.
Now juhannus mostly an additional holiday and an excuse to get hammered
Thank you for the info! As well as giving the game more context, I find this kind of history interesting as well.
Is there any context behind the big horned guy? Or is that just something exclusive to the game.
@@SadMoribund "Perkele" is a name for the devil. It was previously a name for a god of thunder in finnish mythology, but once christianity spread to finland, it started to change its meaning to the devil. The big horned guy is overexaggeration of a spell practiced in the old days.
@@BingoBangoBongo2903 I somehow always finds it funny how gods and spirits that we used to idolize suddenly became demons all thanks to Christianity (I'm a Muslim btw)
@Shamash Ishtar Chan eh even before Islamic period, where I'm from we both idolize and terrified of them. we don't really see them as gods because we practiced animism at the time, they are only spirits to be feared yet we coexist together. we know they exist, we just don't know the difference between God and demons which Islam explain to us
Every Finnish game I've ever seen played makes me think Finland doesn't actually exist and is actually just a fairy tale.
The only other Finnish game I've seen is My Summer Car and yeah, you might be right. In fact, I'm not convinced this isn't My Summer Car somehow.
There are allegedly around 6.5 millions Finns, right? That's out of 7.125 billion humans. That means Finns make up 0.0912% of the planet.
Thats not 9%---that's point zero nine percent, less than a percent.
To put it another way, 99.9% of the planet are not Finns. How do we know this? Government censuses.
Now, the best government censuses have a margin of error of at least 1%. So Finns make up 0.0912% of the planet, plus or minus one percent
In conclusion: there is a 50/50 chance Finland doesn't exist.
What's even funnier about that is the games are made by Finns 😂😂
Didn't you know. Finland is just a really good fishing spot and japanese fishers go there, with the help Russia they made everyone think there's land in the shape this supposed "FINland".
Finland is actually a statistical error.
Manly's method makes sense. Getting the bad ending last is dissatisfying. No closure.
Couldn’t have said it any better.
Plus the good ending is more often than not the “true” ending to a games story. So it makes sense to play the endings in that order.
Besides Undertale which is an incredibly specific and unique case in general, honestly yeah I agree.
@@exist4046 but you have to get to know the characters for genocide to have an impact. Also the most impactful endings should be done last which undertales genocide route eventually makes a bigger impact, but of course the genocide route is optional and not encouraged
@@ashtimbog yeah, there's a few games that are similar to that too, but right now the names don't come to mind. There's also the fact that USUALLY bad endings are far easier to achieve, whereas the geno ending you have to do very specific things to actually start, AND to continue it you have to keep going with it.
this game reminds me of the quote: "The Child Who is Not Embraced by the Village Will Burn it Down to Feel its Warmth."
or y’know gain horrifying powers to kill everyone. that can be seen as metaphorically destroying a village right?
@@inoli3164 yeah, this works too :^V
Then the aged Väinämöinen,
When he heard that he had perished,
And that Kullervo had fallen,
Spoke his mind in words that follow:
"Never, people, in the future,
Rear a child in crooked fashion,
Rocking them in stupid fashion,
Soothing them to sleep like strangers.
Children reared in crooked fashion,
Boys thus rocked in stupid fashion,
Grow not up with understanding,
Nor attain to man's discretion,
Though they live till they are aged,
And in body well-developed."
:(
And probably fire up some marshmallows with graham crackers and chocolate 🍫 🎉
@@mollystewart-gallus537 Kalevala was a poetry about morals, and misery. Truly something to hold onto even after christianity came by.
Hey Manly, on the topic of "bad ending first" I think personally that I enjoy when you do the bad endings first, saving the nicest ending for last. Even if the game has no "Good endings" it still makes it feel like it had a happy ending, as close as it could get to a happy ending in most cases. I know I'm just one person though
Same
Agreed. I don't know why people would even be upset about him doing the bad endings first. He does ALL endings. I'm just happy he even goes to those lengths. I know I wouldn't.
I don't get why people would ever complain about someone getting bad endings first? I like to try out the bad endings first since they are usually the quickest to get and that way I can end on a relatively good note, or at least the "best ending" you can get if there is no good ending.
I usually find bad endings more interesting than the good endings so I appreciate that aspect of his channel
I really enjoy it as well. Feels more fluid in terms of presentation, while also satisfying my curiosity and "Call of the void".
When the devil comes and gives you the antichrist abilities, the flag being lowered to midpole is a good touch.
wait why
Flags at half mast usually signify death. I believe it’s a global things too, not just a Finnish thing.
@@gojoluvr28 , Im not sure, but when the flag is half raised, it's a sign of mourning, distress, or remembrance.
@@gojoluvr28 As Skyrab87 said a flag raised halfway is a sign of sorrow and mourning. It comes from maritime tradition where it's a sign of distress, if I remember correctly.
Lippu puolitankoon!
>"That's how I met your mother"
>Mother died giving birth to the protagonist
Protagonist's mom was a succubus sent specifically to sacrifice herself to birth him so that he can purify the world with flame under Perkele's banner.
Such is life in Finland.
Don't you love it when, after your entire village bullies you, you summon a well demon with flowers and he makes you his lover and gives you magic powers. Honestly the dream of every horror loving girl (and guy).
Yesss marry a demon and become the antichrist 😍😍😍
gey demon sax
Or just a really ugl… “interesting” girlfriend ;)
THis comment has close to 666 likes. I hope it makes it.
@@Flammifleure me too XD
I’m so happy that you made this video, Roope works his butt off making these games. We had a little happy dance when he was picked to be in the collection with all the other amazing creators. Without the support of the gaming community, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. 🙏🏻
-wifey of the creator of Hunsvotti
Aw! I hope your comment gets pinned! This was a really good game!
@@wintermoon7003 Thanks a bunch! 🙏🏻❤️
The game is awesome. You have a really talented husband 💖
This game really is great! I absolutely love the atmosphere in it.
@@EverTheFractal Thank you! 🙏🏻🔥
Notice that went you killing the women in your Berserk mode, they start urinating as you crushing them, which is awfully biogenically accurate since bladder tend to go haywire when the body is under extreme pressure, physically and mentally.
And when you killed the Ghost Mommy, she reduced to a baby-holding stance. That's horrifically sad right there.
But only the women. Real men control their bladder like they control they life, wife, children and emotional bagage 😎
:( ...
@@andromedaa00 I am sorry if my joke made you sad I was just having fun. Men are precious and deserve to go to therapy when they feel bad
I found it odd that none of the men urinated though.
I was wondering why nobody commented about this lol
_A nice love story_
People didn't think you were worthy, but it shows that if you want something enough, you can do it. We need more horror romances - especially where you ride a pig off into the sunset. :)
And you get a giant demon husbando, too!
@@MsAnimefan95 Looking at the people in that town, he might be the best choice lol!!! :D
I take it you folks never played Bard's Tale...
When you reach the end of the game and discover the "beautiful princess" you've been seeing visions of (kinda Link/Zelda style) and trying to free is actually THE goat legged horned hellspawn that is using undead to take over the world, you can still decide to help her and get the promissed reward of being King, having mountains of gold, and lots of sex. You don't ride off on the back of a pig, but getting carried off into the sunset by a 10 foot demonic bride with goat legs while skeletons finish enslaving mankind to celebrate your honeymoon is almost as romantic.
@@outcast170 Sounds cool. Which one is it though? I searched for a little bit and there a bunch of those games. All with the same title. lol
@@vokovom-u9332 Yeah, I think they released it as a new game several years after the original for PS2 (Seems they also did a PS4 release too, wtf). I played it the first time around on PC, but I always thought it was just one game.
Its not "The Bard's Tale" 1-4 numbered ones that look NES generation, or controlling a group.
Never figured out what was up with that naming, but its the one with "Remastered and Resnarkled". Personally never realized "Resnarkled" was a word let alone one that auto-correct immediately accepts... But is based on the game's "Snarky or Nice" response system.
"I know it's hard. But you can't stay inside all day."
Barely two minutes in and getting called out already
fr💀😂
hit too close to the bone ;__;
Am i the only one who loves the fact that Manly's titles don't have a single comma?
Yes
No
Write that down, write that down!!! -SpongeBob
Ofcourse! :)
I love how they aren’t like the obnoxious click bait titles like “THIS HORROR GAME IS SO TERRIFYING (SCARY)” I read his titles and I know it’s manlys video 😂
Is this what you guys do in Finland? Just send the weakest Finnish kid to pick flowers, then unleash his true power?
Finnish kids are just that powerful. It's an elaborate setup for a "strongest US child vs. the weakest Finnish Sith Spawn" meme.
Yes.
The black hair and the bullying and the mass murder is important.
Yes
How else do you think they managed to fend of a Russian invasion?
To get yourself a cool demon boyfriend who'd give you superpowers to help you take revenge on all the crappy people who tormented you and killed your innocent cat... This boy is living the dream.
Protag is boy or girl?
@@labilepogba6213 pretty sure the model (which you can see at the end) is the same as the all boys, so he's most likely a boy too
@@av3ngers17 soooo Satan is gay...?
i mean, what kinda traumatized gay wouldn't want a demon boyfriend
@@labilepogba6213 I mean who are we to judge
"this is a good ending"
he says while riding a pig with his father's head behind him while a demon looms in in the background
And i couldnt agree more
If the Devil is also your true love, why not?
true true true... also who wouldnt want a hot demon husband?
There's nothing more serene than that :D
Question 🙋🏾♀️ didn’t the dad say that’s how he met the mother???? Anyone have any answers to that statement????
@@Sun_MoonAries well... that just means he performed the same ritual and saw her reflection in the well. Maybe she was passing by. Wouldn't that mean she had black hair too? Hmm..
I thought for sure that the "true love" in the well was going to be the pig in the barn, showing that even the universe hates the child. I like the real ending more.
Nah, it's the demon that's his love because the pig didn't come out from the well but demon is
This would actually be an amazing downer ending
LOL it was a great ending that was empowering to everyone who is different from the social majority and constantly bombarded with the notion that they're sick and going to die and suffer for eternity in some afterlife ruled by some evil being. The black-haired gay boy got to eliminate a little hate from the universe. 😉
This was surprising wholesome…??? Like the devil thing just starts calling you “my love” and helps you take revenge on the people who have been making your life miserable for no reason other than you were born with black hair
The mom also died in childbirth which could be interpreted against the child
Fr though its wholesome in a way lol
i love how respectful he is: he doesn't talk over the voice actors and he always shows the end credits.
Here are all the facts I learned about Finland this week:
1. If you don't want to do gymnastics, you can hatch an egg that will become an evil clone of yourself.
2. If you're being bullied, you can give flowers to a demon in exchange for superpowers.
*And apparently become said demon's/the Devil's true love.
Nonono. In exchange for true love!
Hmm..I wonder, do you have to be Finnish to be able to give flowers to summon a husband demon or can anyone do it? Asking for a friend ofc :)
Man I just watched the number 1, innovative horror imo
And there are Giant crows who take u away and drop u into hell
I like how Manly reads the subtitles after the characters are finished with their voice acting.
yeah same!!! he doesn't talk over them
Ironic how the kid just picking flowers to find someone who finally cares about them is declared the hunsvotti (a badly behaving child);
While the people tormenting a kid, killing cats and nailing them to a wall just because their victim liked them, dressing like their mom and terrifying him, etc, are considered good behaving kids/people.
As a finnish person I have to say that this is 100% accurate.
Also if your curious "Paska" means shit.
The swear word version of poop.
In estonian, we say poop in swear word version as a similar word, "Pask"
Is Truislinko a traditional game you folks play ? Also is it true about the scarecrow thing like people with black hair came from a bad seed ?
Thank you for translation. Also i like that you decided to explain what shit is
"This is a good ending" is the weirdest way to react to mass murder in a video game ngl
But you aren't wrong
Justified revenge for the kitty! (And the protagonist)
When that ending began, I thought, I should be horrified, but the people of this village are truly terrible enough to deserve this.
5:16 "I almost kind of wanna die, see if there's like an ending tied to it". Yeah, same.
That's a mood right there.
(Joke, please dont be mad) People who commit no-pump-blood are just completionists.
Unexpectedly deep
Same
real
It's accurate to the traditional Finnish celebrations of Juhannus/Midsummer's. Definitely a commentary on their own people LOL but well done game and a fun video! What was interesting to me is the flag is at half-mast at the end when you're done killing everyone - to this day that's a sign of mourning. When someone has passed away the flag is flown half-mast at their house. This is done at houses of all sizes, even at apartment buildings. You did good on trying to pronounce the Finnish words and names! It's not easy :)
@UCS3kVtqWqMdhBzwQZMRaxIw Of course there's racism in Finland, and there is some deeply rooted racism here coming from the othering of strangers. I wouldn't say it's only towards black people, but rather immigrants in general and the Romani. We have immigration from various African countries and Middle East due to the warzones/unrest in those countries. Of course we've also had people coming from Ukraine, but the general attitude towards Ukranian immigrants has been a lot more open.
Bigger cities are more diverse and I'd say accepting of different people, but if you go into some tiny ass town in the middle of nowhere, people are gonna look at you weird no matter of your skin colour.
@@horsesrunningleft8396 I'm so confused what does racism have to do with anything what did they ask I-
I do want to ask, how is this a commentary on the Finnish?
Americans also do the flag at half mast thing, how interesting
Ah, so it’s accurate that if you toss flowers down a well you’ll get cool demon powers? I know where I’m vacationing this summer!
I love how the best ending is basically MC getting a big goth bf
Lmao
Love the style of this dev
This game reminds me of that postman one, with the cult in the church
Helltown! Yep, this definitely has a similar aesthetic to that.
@@voidbreather7405 Yah that's the one, this one wasn't as creepy but I really like culture-steeped games, you actually learn something
Love that game's dog ending!
So true
"You all deserve this. You saw what you did to the cat."
That is a very good point.
“This is very carthartic” Manly says while exploding the literal life out of the happy village bungholes as he’s being followed by a demon. Totally relatable. On another note, this game reminds me of the horror movie Midsommar, which is about the same holiday…is that holiday really so horrifying?
The movie was horrifying because of the cult, not cause they're celebrating Midsummer. Here it's another story.
No, the holiday is not terrifying, unless you're terrified of paganism and everything folk.
Except for the grown men getting absolutely wasted, yeah.
midsommar is actually a very scary holiday, last year i blew all my cash on lottery tickets trying to get a nice gift basket that had wine and food and didnt win anything. i did get a nice loaf of bread though. /j
those people had it coming, that was a good ending if ive ever seen one
You create your own demons.
Treated the black haired kid like its a demon.
Black haired kid becomes what you keep calling him.
*kills town*
God dang, it's so strange to see my culture being represented in a video game. Especially strange to hear my native language being spoken while watching ManlyBadassHero's videos, lol. Also Manly got pretty close to pronouncing Musta Jaakko right, props for that!
I wish it was Juhannus already.
midsommar movie gave us s how the cult is really evil and killing random people
this adapt interpretation is really more disturbing than the latter
@@andrada9506 haven't seen the movie, but wasn't it more about the Swedish traditions etc.?
@@Ruostesieni Yes, but pretty intentionally bastardized, and ultimately centered around a cult with white supremacist leanings (I'd recommend watching Kennie JD's review on it, if you'd like some perspective from a WOC on that last aspect).
@@Ruostesieni yep, the movie Midsommar is set in Sweden
Its oddly similar to estonian.
Finnish Carrie.
The hindrances of the villagers are nice and varied. I like how you're not locked out entirely, but the more "rules" you break like stepping out in the fields, the more aggressive the village gets.
It also goes back to what the dad said at the start basically "Don't give them any reasons" to start bullying you I suppose to make it easier to beat the game.
Though I'm not sure if it's possible to go through the game without running into any obstacles 🤷🤔. As Manly said the hit box seems pretty big making it easy to get damage from almost anything lol.
I really like your comments. Somehow, I hadn't put it together that as the protag breaks cultural norms he is punished by the game. And thinking of the father's dialogue in the beginning, "don't give them an excuse" is great as it foreshadows that and also underlines familial abuse and general bullying: the protag has a large hit box and can transgress without meaning to: this reinforces how bullies can make their own excuses when they've targeted a victim.
@@MM-jf1me A lot of it is just people being nasty. Like pissing down on the protag from a roof.
@@SusCalvin People suck.
I greatly enjoyed the ending to this game and agreed with Manly's delighted assessment that it was cathartic.
The voice acting had me giggling, mainly from the kids. Loved their high pitched voices. Anyway I'm happy that the kid got revenge in the end but...😭 really became the devil's husbando lmao
This taught me the true Hunsvotti was the friends we killed with demonic powers along the way.
I'm from Finland and it's amazing that someone made a video game about my childhood
is the black hair thing true?
@@Luuuuuuuuuuuuds unfortunately yes
@@whyarewealwaysyelling do you have black hair?
@@bungojerry9297 😭yes
@@whyarewealwaysyelling and that's why you retreat to the Internet,cause you don't want to slaughter your people?
Long time finnish fan here, how weird hearing the dialogue first in finnish and then again in english :DDD What a great game.
If ya want long rambling abt the finnishness, here ya go. :)
In finnish we only have one place for emphasis, the first syllable. So hunsVOTti is close, HUNSvotti is correct :D
MustaJaakko was basically perfect.
Yes this 7 flowers thing is one of the midsummer magics, although I think the flowers needed to be different types?
And I guess being tough and mean is a necessary for surviving the winter here, so yea... Feelings are excess. Also hugs and kisses are very intimate, and you say "love you" only if it's romantic love.
Yes beer or "kalja/olut" is very important to this day. And getting drunk during juhannus too, every year they report how many ppl drunkenly drowned, a cold weather during juhannus means less deaths bc of less ppl drunkenly swimming.
The breadthrowing is new to me.
The pig thing was... Weird. :D
To this day we do slap ourself in sauna with branches, it stimulates bloodcirculation and smells nice. You can get ones made from felt if you dont have access to branches. Also yes you gotta saunoa during juhannus. Thanks for reading and playing! :)
Interesting info! I went to a Russian sauna here in the States where they had special banya platza treatment using a venik. I'm assuming it is same thing as the vihta in Finland. They soaked and heated the leaves... I thought it was going to be weird, but I did feel really good after! :)
Thanks for the info! Is what happened to the cat an actual Thing as well or..? 😢
thank you for this comment! you touch on everything! best comment
what are those horned sack creatures?
*A woman is levitated before turned inside out in a low-poly blood bath*
Manly: This game is very cathartic :)
*ginormous demon looms over the land as you ride into the woods upon a pig with your father's severed head on the back*
Manly: This is a good ending :))))
tbf the demon is probably the lesser of two evils in this
Love this very much, Manly.
Like the horror isn't really as in a ghost, monster or stuff (except Perkele, I guess). But, the story tells that the true horror is the community itself. As a doctor who met many humiliated and exiled patients (especially those who have mental health issues), this is really hitting close to home, which is why I like it.
Poor boy, thought it would only be the boys who were the bullies, not the whole damn town 😭
Isnt it the whole town that bullied him, father including?
they nailed your cat to the back of the outhouse dude, this goes beyond festive Finnish japes.
Lol
Feels weird hearing voice acting in my native language and manly reading it in afterwards.
It is kinda accurate that finnish people are more reserved about personal problems altho it has changed over the years. We usually have personal boundaries even irl. Heck it became an inside joke that covid social distancing rules were always a thing even before covid.
Juhannus is a pretty big thing in finnish traditions and while you don't beat people to deatb during Juhannus it is believed that summer is the best time for marriages. We also have this tradition of burning huge piles of woods and tying trees next to our doorways.
Also yeah saunas and lakes are popular throughtout the years no matter if it is a searing summer or snowy winter.
We also have Juhannus Kokko which is like a huge bonfire we burn on midsummmer altho city people don't really dwell on traditions.
So basically Naruto, but he doesn't forgive the villagers for shunning him.
This entire game is "Look what you made me do" and I love it
It would had been funny if you had the option to kill by coughing at them
The dev did a great job making me feel absolutely nothing for the villagers demise at the end.
I actually enjoyed the art style and how fluid that game actually is. Good playthrough manly ✌️
I have no idea what the pig scenario was about in the bad ending and I don’t think I want to know.
Bestiality.
Manly: “It’s a Finnish horror game.”
Me: “If it’s available for purchase I hope it is.”
Hahaha xD
i dont get it can you explain?
@@MastapieceX a "FINISHED" horror game! I heard it too lol
@@josephhudson6650 oh thanks :D
in the age of early access, it's a minor miracle
I recognized “perkele” as a swear word but didn’t know the meaning behind it. What a wholesome and educational game!
Suppose this is what happens when you ruin a 100 year ritual, they turn into a cultist camp and go for you to appease their "Gods"
There gods are evil...
I like that you do the bad endings first so the videos end on a high note, but for this game I can't help but keep going 'Oh so this is how Finnish people live.' especially the two dudes raining down on the protag. What plentiful bladders they have.
The first time where accidentally summoning a demon and then slaughtering everyone in your village is actually the good ending
Eating while watching Manly’s videos is the best thing you’ll ever experience☺️
The best one yet is when you watch Manly and fall asleep to it 🤣
I always put on a manly vid when I eat dinner
True
It's not all the time, but I watch Manly's videos whenever I'm having a meal. The combination of Manly's ASMR-ish narration with horror/thriller games somehow makes it a nice content to watch while eating. You want to be chill, but you don't want to be too chill you'll get bored, so the horror theme makes up for it.
@@lizathena2443 Perfectly described and explained🥰
What a sweet story. The boy is no longer lonely and he got cool friend from another side.
He isn't a friend, he's his lover
Yeah, a very close friend. Nice and generous too 😊
@@zeal4213 thank you for highlighting that up. I was meaning to refer to the Disney song "Friends on the other side"
Which for my opinion, it's music that matching well with the ending of this game.
That’s his soulmate and one true love ❤️
So what was the deal with the pig in the bad ending? Is it peeing or lactating on you or something? Or is it just something really weird with no explanation?
Probably lactating considering the liquid is coming from the belly
Since they scream “sleep with the hog!” I assume it r*pes you
I would say lactating, because you are motherless, and in your father's eyes (and perhaps the villager's eyes too) it's your fault your mother died. The pig spraying you with milk is a slap in the face, in that a pig is surely the only "mother" you deserve.
A fun start to Dread X Collection 5. I have no idea how accurate any of the festival is, but the cruelty of humanity is on point. While hardly ideal, I can't really say the ending isn't warranted if this is an accurate portrayal of the protagonist's daily life. Satisfying if nothing else.
Guys peeing off the rooftop is everyday in certain places lol.
I think this game takes from the traditional finnish culture pretty well, but it also takes influence from finnish death metal aesthetic pretty well too as finnish people have pretty big liking to metal and alot of old finnish myths and traditions have quite the morbid origins.
Like there are a lot of finnish myths that could work for horror game premises.
Idk about all of the cultural things, but we Finns do beat ourselves with "vihta" in s sauna during Juhannus. It's a bunch of birch sticks tied together.
I love seeing Finnish games, especially horror ones!
As a Russian living in Estonia, neighbor countries adopted this tradition. I never found it painful though, since you're mostly hit with the leaves, not the stems.
This game was unsettling, mostly due to the visuals and weirdly effective atmosphere... I like it.
never understood people getting upset when you do the bad endings first. bad endings are usually the easiest to get so ofc you’d do them first
This is so satisfying, after all that bullying and harassment you get to kill the whole village in such an epic way AND you get someone who loves(?) you unconditionally
I love the comment about "Don't run, you deserve this. I saw what you did to that cat". It just goes to show that there's no quicker way to piss people off than to hurt animals.
People care more about animals being hurt than children these days. Sad, really.
_I love your titles!_
There's a pig - I can't wait lol.
Pig's one of the kindest things in the game.
I didn’t get that part. We’re we being humped by the pig?
*PERKELEEEEEE!!*
What a fun little game! It was also interesting to learn a bit about Finnish culture ^^
Thanks for playing, Manly! 💙
9:26 The Finnish flag was flown full-mast as usual.
21:30 The Finnish flag was flown half-mast, as a symbol of mourning to the death and/or casualties.
i love it when the woman in black and white said "its mommy time" and mommied on everyone
If we keep watching Manly's video, we'll be able to see almost every RPG game on Earth!!
Thanks for your playing! I'll enjoy the video clip!
I like how when the protag goes on a rampage he kills people in a different ways with different hand movements.
When he snaps his fingers, the person's head comes off, when he spreads them, the person is dismembered and when he curls them into a fist, so does the person. Nice detail.
I've read that the boy's true love is Perkele (demon) because his hair is black. And that's why they all bully him (like everyone else is blonde), and his mother also had black hair (the guy disguised wore black hair), and that's why they defecated on her grave.
As a finn i can confirm that juhannus is coming up and i cant wait to sacrifice my village for perkele
The devil actually freaks me out. It's so creepy and uncanny looking. However, screw all the villagers. Wreak havoc young black head.
I wouldn't say it's horrifying but having a pig spray you with it's milk is
uhhh definitely traumatizing. ^^; [edit] Nevermind saw the ending
Aww the protag got demon boyfriend #couplegoals
Some vocabulary involved:
Hunsvotti, "up to no-good"/vagabond.
Paska, "shit"
Ruis: "Rye(this case ryebread)" -linko: "Sling".. = Ruislinko: ???, I dunno, but looks dope.
And as for Manly's-question:
I am highly tempted to say; this looks like our extented family's last midsummer-fest.. But in a way it actually might end up being too accurate for some.. Since there has always been at least an undercurrent of 'pushing through with gritted teeth', which in finnish is embodied by one word: 'Sisu'.. And this behavior which pretty much peaks in times of cultural holidays.. Most notably the 'Juhannus'/a.k.a Summer Solstice, a.k.a 'mid-summer fest', other one I would throw in would be 'Vappu'( "workers' vacation"). And both have lots of drinking and 'saunomista'(verb. use a sauna) involved.. These might not sound too bad, but when paired up with 'sisu',(which some also conclude to mean, weakness can be smacked out of you with a fist (-By wielding or receiving..) ..although, these behaviours are not exclusively finnish..) ..But you probably detect the recipe for disaster.
Of course these sort of gatherings depicted in-game are from a different time.. And what one could call the 'Juhannus'-phenomenon has been dialed up & over eleven. And even though you do not have to go as far back as 1888 to have seen something reminiscent of this.. I for one have not once in real life seen anyone don the traditional finnish attire.. But there still are some reminders of times past.. F.ex: The 'ritual' you're taking part in, gathering flowers and looking down a well, has been referenced throughout my childhood in children shows, most notably Muumit/Mumin/Moomin.. in which it is more illustrated to be performed by maidens, whom first must collect 7 different flowers.. Twirl around, and walk backwards toward a well, and when you bump up against the well, twirl back around and look down.. you're supposed to see your future spouse. (DARKNESS, DUN-DUN-DUHG)
Also; 5-stars and a parrot-sticker to all whom finished this train-of-thought of questionable quality.
This is a nice comment. Thank you for the interesting info! :)
@@NaturalFlirtGamer Oh, you flirter..
“Hey Everyone this is ManlyBadAssHero and Welcome to…”
Never gets old ☺️
From what I can gather the moral of this game is "finland fucking sucks, never go there"
I learned that watching Midsommer, lol. Heeeeeeeell nah!
@@galacticcactus5530 That was sweden. But yes. You propably shouldn't
Still a better love story than Twilight
I hate how cathartic the whole thing feels
Normally I don't like it when the characters turn all powerful only to abuse others
But it feels warranted here
Nice! Another Manly video to take our mind off the cruel world we all live in.
A Finn here xD It's largely embellished though, we're not.. THAT grim :D At least I don't think so. But also I do recognize a lot of finnish attitudes in this. And well, since this is obviously set in like early 1900's the setting is very old. In very small villages people can be pretty narrowminded though and it's annoying when everyone knows everyone. But I think that goes for any place really x)
This kind of looks like that movie midgarsommer
Because the story is happening in 1888 Finland the things to do in Juhannus are kind of old in this. Mosty the drinking and going to sauna are still things to do on Juhannus, but some Finnish people do those things on normal days too. As a Finnish person, the voice acting in this was the best part for me! 🤣👍
For the bad ending topic, I always feel the satisfaction of putting the good ending last than getting it first. Especially for those games that have awful or heavy bad ends, but yah.. That's just what I feel about it...
The game has good enemies, the AI I mean. I also like the chases when the screen turned black and white...
This game gives me Midsommar vibes.
Half the charm of this channel is watching the objective discovery of a game that's new to me, a game I would never play, and the other half is watching the Let's Player react to that experience. What a fun example of both!
Surprisingly really enjoyed this one! I like to learn about different cultures celebrations, holidays, etc I thought the art style was well done, the creatures were creepy even the people... Almost as though you were in a fever dream that made a little more sense. Idk how to describe it... Ty for playing this, Manly :)
Btw I don't mind if you get through the bad ending first you do playthroughs so well I don't even notice.
I tell you, Finnish fever dreams are on completely different level of "WTFness?". I genuinely couldn't understand much of the game beyond "oh, the MC is being bullied by the villagers because he has dark hair and he 'sacrifices' flowers to a devil so he can gain dark powers and get revenge on the asshole villagers".
...them again as a South American i might just be missing the cultural familiarity that comes with the themes of the game such as the rituals and entities portrayed in there. Finnish viewers are more than welcome to point out to me which of these are right.
I'm not Finnish. So I can understand how difficult it can be in making the appropriate connections within a different culture. That said, I usually take these at face value and enjoy what I can from them.
The game states that throwing seven flowers down a well will grant you a vison of your true love. The protag's true love seems to be the Devil himself.
I think part of it is pieces of information didn't connect when you looked at it.
The protagonist is a weak sick kid who's birth resulted in the death of his mother and is a burden to everyone in the village. The scarecrow inspection speaks about black hair being viewed as a negative trait, one of those which the protag has.
He is basically viewed as a plague.
With the entire "demon" bit it follows a relatively common belief. A innocent treated as a monster eventually becomes the monster. The kid is a "monster" forsaken by the good so it makes sense he'd turn to the bad literally/metaphorically.
Wow, was ein super Spiel. Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob das akkurat ist, was hier über das Midsommar-Event gesagt wird, aber wie das alles rüber gebracht wird -das ist genial!
Finde ich wirklich gut, dieses Spiel!
Und mal wieder gut vorgespielt, manly!

I don't know if I've ever seen a game that made a spree so perfectly justifiable.
any game that ends in a bloody massacre as a result of crucifying a cat has my seal of approval
anti-bullying media gettin’ wicked
Who Else Noticed That The Protag Was In MALE Clothing, He Was Gay
Everyone did?
"and then the kid and the demon lived happily ever after..."
It's somehow satisfying to see the bullied protagonist get a revenge on everyone who have hurt him.
Man, finally some proper LGBTQ+ repesentation in a videogame!
Goodness. "Hunsvotti" is an extremely offensive term, I've just Googled the etymology. They REALLY don't like this guy!
