I worked at a Subway in a small town from ages 16 to 19, the owners and manager always made sure we had two closers and asked us to make sure each of us got to our cars safely after closing. Often the manager would visit around closing just to make double sure we were okay. I didn't realize how lucky we were to have people looking out for us as kids. It's horrible how common these kinds of crimes are.
I was 15 and they let me close by myself. I had some traumatizing interactions waiting outside in the dark on the concert because I wasn’t allowed to wait inside.
Most of the restaurants I worked had a policy where you couldn’t take out the trash/leave out the back door at night for safety, we just put the garbage next to the front doors for morning shift to throw out, and I’ve never had to close alone at night they always had two closers one of them usually being a manager or at least a shift lead.
You're very lucky. I once called out my old manager for having two 16 yrs old girls closing by themselves and how horribly unsafe that was, and she fired me for it. 🫠
no one underage should be closing stores, much less on their own, 16yos are still kids, even someone at 18 should have someone older/more experienced with them.
Going to take this a step further and say underaged workers shouldn't work alone ever.
imo, this is less about luck or privilege, and more about it being a travesty that most people don't have that safety. it should be mandatory to protect and check in on your employees like this.
The barista element is a clever way to accentuate the fear. There's nothing _scary_ about it, but it's designed to require a lot of your attention, so your brain gets distracted with that and any horror elements thus stick out like a sore, uncanny thumb. Great design: give the player something to occupy their mind and give them a "normal" so that the weird stuff is weird _to the game itself,_ not just to what we'd expect from real life.
I absolutely loved the one section where the schoolgirls were talking in the background while the two fellows up front were talking about their order. It's rare to see thought given to a sort of red herring moment and also gives that scene a lot of life. We all have moments when we overhear something that we aren't necessarily supposed to be focused on, but focus on anyways. It was such a small but powerful way to reinforce the atmosphere and the threat of the stalker.
I was thinking the SAME EXACT thing while watching this video
happy's humble burger farm has something similar going on
I read “the game” in italics and realized I’d just lost
This game is brilliant. While it also provides horror elements, it also raises awareness to how women are harassed so frequently. I don’t usually enjoy horror games however this one is very well designed.
This video is 2% horror, 1% Sanpei being mad, and 97% Markiplier being a frankly amazing barista

"sanpei" 😂
The interaction with the woman at 45:34 was such a wholesome breath of fresh air tbh. Even though the bracelets were a scam, she gave something she believed was genuine.

"Am I in danger or am I just gonna be annoyed?" is pretty much THE experience of working any type of customer service especially in late evenings and nights.
Went looking for this comment
I don't miss delivering to the ghetto at 2 AM with no porch lights on or house numbers for blocks. I also don't miss people trying to get in my car while I'm pulling away from a house, or sitting at a stop sign.
Is this gonna be an asshole or someone tryna sell me something? 😂
i laughed so hard a this
4-6 AM in a Safeway subsidiary’s eCommerce department was chill. Because we weren’t open yet.
Things Mark has to deal with in this game:
weirdass customers
getting insulted
getting creeped on
constant condescension
always working alone
unreasonable work expectations
customers complaining about price
weirdass drink orders & people who don't know the name of the drink they want
Going into denial "I'm fine with this."
Whoever made this game has worked in food service before.
As a McDonald's employee I can confidently say, this is the story of my life!
The fact that the recipes reminded me of my stbx days 🥴
What's the unreasonable work expectation? The barista seems to be pretty slow before closing so the girl is able to accomplish all her necessary tasks in a timely manner, and she's not being asked to do anything you're average cashier doesn't do.
Or in retail. I've had to deal with all of these things working in retail granted I do work in food service in a retail store but our cashiers and floor workers also have to as well.
Don’t forget his tootsies of steel. The magic of them probably gave him the motivation to do this.
26:45 gave me vibes of:
"Instead of running away, you're coming right at me?"
"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer."
Hou, mukatte kuru no ka? Nige zuni kono dio ni chikazuite kuru no ka?
i knew this part is similar vibe to dio's lol
That’s always the annoying part of watching mark play horror games…it’s sometimes like he physically can’t get invested unless it’s a FNaF game or a game with an obvious and active threat…and even then he has an annoying habit of antagonizing said threat
Almost like...that was the joke he was making...
YES I HEARD THAT IMMEDIATELY
Omg the fear of taking the trash out alone at night- especially after you just had a creepy interaction so you’re on edge/high alert- literally a feeling I haven’t felt in a minute and it was as an absolute gut-punch to remember how terrifying it is.
Especially when homeless tend to dig through it. I would run in and out.
42:56 For Mark, and anyone else who didn't know, the guy who turned around on the bus wasn't looking at the girl. He was looking at the stalker sitting behind her.
omg.
yeah, and when you get out of the bus you can see that the stalker is staring into your soul as the bus rides away
oh my god NOOOOOOOO I DIDN'T SEE THAT
Bro.. Im gonna play that and see for myself that is scary as hell
I didnt notice!!!! I feel like most scary things went over my head cause i was too afraid of whats gonna happen next
"I didn't think I'd have to do this whole barista thing"
Neither did I, Mark, NEITHER DID I
*gross sobbing*
Ohhhhhh....I felt that in my soul *grosser sobbing*
The atoms and molecules that make up my very soul vibrated at the same frequency as the sentiment behind your comment... basically, I feel u
I felt this on a spiritual level…my heart goes out to you
My barista was picking up a Bible after various shit posts.
@@MadeOfConfusion I think we can all agree the true reality horror of this game is the mundane dystopia of high-stress, low-pay customer service
I want someone to animate this with Mark doing the entire "take this take this take this" bit he had when making some of the drinks for him to be handing one person a bunch of random things
LOLLL
Jesus christ that rape scene at 1:03:55 was just horrible. I haven't seen anyone mention that in the comments besides the fact that it's a jumpscare.
yes... the animalistic noises make it QUITE clear in a truly sick and scary way. The scene always makes me mad/fearful.
Its well done, the game's laser focus on how damn scary it is to just try and live your simple daily life when you are seen as something to prey upon.
i never realized thats what that was... holy shit...
it sounds like a flippin rubber duck
or when she goes unconscious in the store, we hear the backroom lights buzzing, but she still wakes up in her home. absolutely terrifying.
THAT WAS A RAPE SCENE???
58:10 Mark is the ONLY person so far that I've seen play this game that put two and two together that the woman was pushing an empty stroller and sniffling. She's clearly in denial and grieving.
..........*REALIZATION*
The baby was there the first time you meet her when she jumpscares you though.
@@Mant111 Yeah, but almost naked, at night, in winter.
coryxkenshin did aswell
@@Mant111 You clearly didn't pay attention to what he just said, when she comes into the shop later, the baby is not in the pram, so it stands to reason that the child died of hypothermia based on the previous encounter that you just mentioned. The sniffling explains why she has the empty pram, denial.
"Am I in danger or am I just gonna be annoyed?" That is the true question of customer service
oh also, the sound you heard around your flat was actually a child jumping around.
No the true question is where is coffee shops Senpai lol XD 👀🤔😂😅💀☠
Fr, I had a coworker tell me that in the past, customers have threatened to shoot cashiers over really small things. She never said they had a gun, so I don't know if they had anything, but like that's just so INSANE!
Once it was because the cashier didn't put bags in a cart like what??
agreed happens all the time at the starbucks i work at
Especially if your a woman or there is a Karen in your store.
1:07:34 I felt sick to my stomach right here, when I immediately realized that Mark didn’t check the back seat. I knew in that moment what was most likely about to happen to him.😭
My husband once asked me why I lock the car doors if I’m going to be back in a few minutes and nothing is in the car. I was just like… so someone doesn’t hide in the backseat! He’d never ever thought about it
I think the worst part is at 1:04:18 due to what happened, like its not explicity stated but you can tell by the dmg effect and nois ewhat the man is doing to the woman, it fucking terrifys me.
Me too man, I feel like you’re the only person who’s said that so far
I hated that....
I noticed that too
I don’t get it?
@@ao_sssan she’s being ra-ed. It actually started at 1:04:00
Only slightly more terrifying than actual closing shift.
I am happy to never had to do closing shift.
And I am living in a peaceful town...
*Half as terrifiying
It truly depends where your place of business may be. For example: may you tend to a McDonald's establishment, you would be more than correct. The McDonald's worker will likely be doomed to many last-minute calls for "mY SoN WaNtS a HaPpPy MeAl!!" Whilst if you were to tend to higher-end clothing line, it would be no diffrent to a middle-day shift, perhaps even lesser so. Granted this serenity would be interrupted by the occasional last-minute purchase, still lesser to McDonald's.
i have a closing shift in a few minutes but im not scared bc it is always busy
Eyy would you happen to be a fellow goat enjoyer
Imagine being such a dedicated barista that all the lights go out and scary demon people come in to your store while you're all alone, and you just continue to make latte after latte like an absolute champ
Gigachad move
That’s honestly what it feels like in the coffee industry
I think that was a nightmare
@@tpd1864blake It was definitely supposed to be a nightmare. The clock outside the window is the same as the alarm clock when the character wakes up in their bed afterwards.
"Demons appearing in the restaurant is no excuse to shuck your jobs. We serve pretty and scary customers."
24:37 i ugly laughed and replayed this so many times i swear Marks just over here like "WAFFLE 🧇 FRIES 🍟APPLE 🍎 PIES🥧 AMERICAN 🇺🇲 SCONE CARAMEL TO-TOFFEE" "MACHA 🍵 CAKE 🎂 PUMPKIN 🎃 CAKE 🎂 🤠" "GREEN BEAN CASSeRoLe and Strawberry 🍓SWEet crEAm RoLl 🍰"
"BREAD 🍞 BEANS"
"BUTTER 🧈 BEANS"
"RED 🟥 BREAD 🍞 AND BUTTER 🧈 BREAD 🍞" 💀
i come back to this video every now and then just for that part
Bro same
Love the emojis 😂
Then later on and he goes SWEET BEANS BUTTER BEANS
My reaction was to laugh and just think " Mark is going insane "
This game is so terrifyingly accurate in capturing the feeling that so many women get at work, or even just going to their car. I switched to a mid shift at work and now that it gets dark by 4pm, I stay near a camera when I'm outside on my break, and I walk to my car with my keys between my fingers--Wolverine style. Where I work we get a lot of creepy guys, and due to multiple interactions with multiple of these types, I often find myself thinking of exit routes in the store. "How fast can I get to the break room? Will anyone be in there to help? What about the Manager's office, or the utility room? If I need to, I can hide behind these large boxes in this shelf..." The managers don't do anything about these customers, because a sale is a sale...
That’s fucking awful, I’m a 4’9 Latina girl so I’m always watching my back because I know I’m clearly an easy target since I’m so small. I’m considering getting one of those extendable batons for protection because I’m just personally uncomfortable with potentially having a taser or g*n. Plus, those things can still do a lot of damage and decent whack would probably make someone think twice about messing with me.
@@gabbykabins4333 you should reconsider atleast the taser, it's better to have something that doesn't take alot if force to use, and you can still use it as long as both your arms aren't constrained, even if you are grabbed, or something like a knife that can break the skin and cause more damge easily
Boo hoo
Can you carry in your state?
If owning and open or concealed carrying a gun is legal in your state, I highly recommend getting one. It's worst case scenario, but if something does happen then you'll have a much better chance of deterring someone from attacking, or stopping an active attacker. A taser is better if you aren't comfortable with guns or the idea of shooting someone, and *most* people will be incapacitated when they get tased. Pepper spray is also effective, although its less desirable since the attacker could be wearing goggles or a mask of some sort that would make pepper spray much less effective.
I love Mark's reactions to customers. "Oh god, you're staying". Big mood.
Yeah like I'm a barista and seeing those types of customers stay it's like a Total mood
@@user-vz1sj9hh6q same tbh
My staying what?
@@jameswent48 I've fixed it.
ahahaha
As strange/amusing as it is when Mark yells random threats such as "I'LL EAT YOUR SPLEEN!!", it's actually a pretty good survival tactic. If you can convince people around you that you're batshit crazy, 9 times out of 10 they'll leave you alone, even if they were interested in you before.
This actually isn't true - statistics prove that mentally ill people are much more likely to be harassed, attacked, or killed compared to people who aren't mentally ill, and people assumed to be mentally ill / behavior associated with mental illness is often seen as threatening and criminalized (as many mentally ill people risk having the police called on them for visibly exhibiting symptoms). The rhetoric that "acting crazy" will get people you leave you alone is blatantly untrue if you look into actual studies into violence and mental health, and is based in bigoted stereotypes; in reality, it typically puts you in more danger to be perceived as mentally ill.

Do you know this from experience?
It's really great how the Stalker's design is juuuust generic enough while still looking creepy. His features are very vague, he looks like he could literally be *anyone*. That moment where he's panting at the door and swiveling his head at you is borderline traumatizing.
It's scary because being in a scenario like this CAN happen in real life. It's not like a horror game with a fictional monster in a scenario that wouldn't happen. Instead, it shows just how scary it is for employees when working at night shifts alone and how uneasy it feels to get customers late at night. A lot of people may not realize it, but stalkers are terrifying, and this game proves. They might not sound as terrifying as a monster, but they certainly are a monster at best.
Did you mean real life monsters? Because that's what stalkers are--real life monsters.
When delusion takes over a human mind, it transforms people into something inhuman. Stalkers lose their humanity very quickly as their delusions take over.
8:45 "I don't set the prices, sir! I don't set them!" 90% of customer interaction, right there.
Honestly. I work as a barista and we had a customer who ordered her drink, we told her the price at the window, she kinda shrugged it off and then drove to the second window. Handed the drink out and she goes "$7 for this?" And basically just refused to take it or pay for it. It's sometimes frustrating because our company is not known for making inexpensive drinks in the slightest, but people still get mad at the baristas about it.
@@aimeemonnett2293 Sometimes the inexpensive drinks taste better than the expensive ones imo
@@NuggieIsMissing oh absolutely! I feel like the biggest thing about it is the brand name- people will pay out the ass for a popular brand.
@@aimeemonnett2293 Like even the cheap caramel Frappuccino at McDonald’s is better than Starbucks XD. It’s sweeter and has more of a shake consistency which makes it even better
@@NuggieIsMissing Yeah but half the time they can't find even though its in front of them. I used to work for Dollar General and boy some of the people there would either one try to discribe what they wanted but end up discribing something else and two would be pissy about why we didn't have that perticular item in stock or three get absoutly mad at you for no reason what so ever even with refunds.
There’s the horror aspect of having a stalker after you but there’s elements of psychological horror related to dealing with creepy costumers, a fast paced job and a boss that doesn’t care about your well being at all.
Exactly. There were multiple people that you thought could be the "bad guy". But, they're just another creep.
my mind skipped the word "creepy" in that sentence and I fully agreed regardless XD
That's me in general towards almost everyone I don't know.
OMG ME!
@@n4t39 Yeah man. Everytime a customer went in the building. I thought bro your scary.
But then we see on the train ride, the guy looking back.
He is not the stalker. He was was looking at the real stalker. Who was behind the girl.
Which we can get a glimpse of if we turn back to look at him after the bus ride through the window as it drives away.
Giving more fear of people are creepy. But really their hiding the real creepy ones. Which makes a perfect mix for a horror element and game. It's so real.
“They went back to the scene & there was no one there”
Not even the dead PI? Damn, stalker woke up & immediately went ‘time to hide some bodies’
Alternatively, PI got up and HE went "time to hide some bodies' /j

Mark was just like; ``Well shit, guess I'll die.``
@@dominikadomjan2780 obob
That also scared the LIVING SHIT out of me
The thing that makes this feel like a horror game are how easily the game strips you of comfort. I always check the back of my car before I get in, I don't walk around after dark unless at least two people know where I'm at, and I make sure all the doors I can lock are locked. I've worked terrible fast food jobs where I've been harassed by coworkers, and I've been yelled at by a customer until my manager had to get involved. That's the reality of working night shift as a woman in a customer service job.
That's why this game is so disarming; the danger compounds with the high-pressure environment and uncomfortable situations. You can't just quit. You can't just run away. You're forced to work alone, unprotected, while people stare creepily at you from across the lobby. You can't always take safety precautions if you want to keep your job.
goddamn... job first, safety later?? That sucks. People need to get priorities straight and protect their staff, this should be illegal. Can't they provide you with some sort of weapon for self-defense? Or just not have people do solo closing-shifts? Honestly, regardless of gender, nobody should solo close-shift for danger reasons and accountability reasons, it's honestly just so bullshit what people have to go through to keep their job and get paid. I'm so sorry. All we can do is tough it out and fight for our safety
it used to be (and someplaces still is) women's rights now ig it's women's safety!
jeez
Thank you!
I knew that this game felt familiar, that explains it. I’ve never worked as a barista but I have worked later at night at an archery range. And it got uh… uncomfy at times.
Especially since sometimes I was the only one presenting female.
Another reason I don't work.
This is what and why I tell other people or ladies the advice I try to give when I can. Never give up or let someone take your feeling of safety away. There are always options or opportunities you can do or take to prevent these situations. If people give up too soon, then that dreadful thing will happen. I've been there and I know what it's like but I told myself never again. I got a different job if the one I had wasn't working, I took safety precautions, I got protection either by weapon or by people, and I put myself in the mindset even though the world is more dangerous for someone like me. I wouldn't let that stop me from living a normal life and not in fear. Even when I've had a few scary moments. I put on my determine, crazy aura that you better leve me be or one of us is dying today and it ain't gonna be me! That right there works everytime if nothing else because you are letting the person know you don't fear them. Even if something happens, you won't let them take that fight out of you! This is my advice and advice everyone should give no matter what! There are always options, never let anyone or anything make you feel otherwise.
@@KaySaly to add to one of your points, making somewhat of a scene can also have the benefit of making you seem like more trouble than it's worth, instead of an easy target, and it seems like sometimes that's good enough for someone to leave you alone
Love how Mark is progressively getting better at making coffee in a horror game
36:32
370 yen is about $2.60 in USD. Save everyone the goog
Also this scene is iconic- you’re listening to other girls your age to see if they have the same concerns as you. One person appears to be “over concerned” about the situation and the other is “downplaying” the situation. So you don’t know where your opinion should lie. On top of trying to do your job. On top on trying to evaluate the situation- is the “creepy appearing” awkward man the stalker? Is it the guy who was hanging out in the background but then becomes super nice by buying someone else’s drink?
Whoever made this game was a woman or got amazing women team members for feed back. Because this is perfect representation of what cycling thoughts of fears and justification are inside your head 24/7.
Mark: “Oh, you’re approaching me?”
Rando: _“I can’t creep the shit out of you without getting closer.”_

Seeing mark struggle to use the brick correctly was a really high IQ moment
22:25 I hate that “~ooo~ it’s a haunted milk~” made me ugly laugh so hard
as a starbucks barista this game really hits hard because we deal with creeps so often. its our job to be overly nice and a lot of customers misread that as flirting. i currently have a customer im about to report to my manager because he will not stop harassing me. its gotten to the point where he gets upset if anyone else but me takes his order. this game is so scary because its so so unfortunately realistic and i hate that this is the reality we live in where this is an actual possibility
I'm really sorry you have to go through something like this, and I really hope the creep will get taken care of and no harm comes to you
i feel you. i used to work at a starbucks, i had proof of someone harassing and stalking me even at work, and management said they couldn’t do anything because he hadn’t laid a hand on me or said it in the store when they were around. it truly is the scariest feeling, someone watching you constantly. i wish you the best of luck
@@leelu2753 damn, that sux that you even have that idea. Shame no one can talk to these guys 🤛 😈
My old boss always let us conceal carry.
Get a gun.
If you are too young, or in a state that makes it difficult to carry a gun, carry a knife.
some men can get so lonely, any kindness shown from the opposite sex is amplified due to their high sensitivity from not having received any female attention.
if they're mentally ill and obsessive it can turn them into threatening stalkers. *loneliness and mental illnesses go in hand.*
not worth the risk at all, unfortunately you must learn the slight differences in your vocal tone and facial expressions. avoid eye contact, seem a bit aloof yet still attentive enough to receive orders without disrespect, etc.
in other words, don't overly be welcoming to the man.
imo all women should carry forms of self-defense, it boggles my mind how in some countries like the UK, a mere pepper spray is illegal.
I didn’t think I’d hear Mark say “senpai” and “bussin’” within 2 minutes of each other but here we are
Ikr, Lmao
oh the lengths that humanity has taken for those fine words to be told
Whenever Mark said "Senpai" I could only think of Yandere Simulator. And whenever he said "bussin" my mind went straight back to Bussin' by AK-69 (a japanese rapper, which kind of fits with the game).
LMAO YEAH
Where are we? I missed the "bussin" and I definitely need to know
Best part of this game's existence imo is that it's finally gonna teach some people that "senpai" doesn't mean "crush".
It means like “mentor”, right?
@@unicorn69 It has a few different meanings. The most common one (and the reason it comes up so often in high school dramas) is "upper classman". That is, someone in the grade above your own. So if you're a senior, you don't have any senpai.
The scary thing is how accurate it is. People always like to say "you were probably leading them on" literally just being polite is all it takes.
Spoilers:
for people that didnt notice, there is actually two different "stalkers".
the first stalker is the long tall guy with the creepy face, who we are introduced with at the beginning that we helped return his phone. we see him after we get off the bus, and also when he comes into the coffee shop once and doesnt buy anything and just sits the whole time and then leaves.
the second stalker is the man in the hoodie. he is the one that creepily stands outside the store windows as we talk with the old man at the register. he also then comes in and orders pastries and a bunch of milk, and sits in the blind spot of the store and leaves the photo of us on the table. it is then revealed that HE is the one who has been living in the back of the store.
so in conclusion to clear things up, the phone guy stalker, is the one that actually physically tries to attack us and depending on what ending you get, murders us; and the second stalker, hoodie dude, is the milk guy that was snapping pics of us and living in the store, but doesnt actually physically harm us.
you can tell they are two different men bc 1. their faces are very different (hoodie guy is much younger looking and generally has a nicer looking face) 2. phone stalker guy and also the one that jumpsacres us at the closing sign (and eventually attacks us) is like 6'6" whereas hoodie milk guy is only around 5'6". you can tell the height difference by comparing when each walk into the cafe and walk past the bookcases by the door! 3. their clothes
Anyways-just thought i'd share this since i dont think i've watched one lets player who actually came to this realization that there were two different stalkers!
I did notice that! Glad I wasn't imaging things 😅
I thought the hoodie guy was actually just a red herring, or working with the scary stalker, I didn't consider that there could be two... maybe it was him that took the bodies?
Wait, what's the other ending?
oh wow i never realized that
Yeah, is very interesting how there were two stalker following the MC, but there's other men being creepy too, like the "nice" guy that ask for MC's phone number and the one that stares at you in the bus (42:56). I feel this game was made with the idea that male players can understand how dangerous the world is for a woman that is on her own, the paranoia that every man could a potencial r*pist and murderer
As someone who's trying to escape Retail Hell, I can confirm that you'd be expected to put the store's closing procedures above your own safety!
Worked at Burger King. Had an armed criminal escape and be in the area. "In the area" means cops were searching the building beside us and the woods surrounding our location....... still had to finish closing duties before my manager and I left.
Once began bleeding out of my nose due to exhaustion, I was put to rest for a few minutes on a dirty piece of cardboard then was asked to go back to work and finish the rest of the shit
Also spent Christmas covering for EVERYONE ELSE'S SHIFT because everyone there knows each other, and they just decided to not come to work that day with no warning or permission whatsoever and as far as I know they were never punished
meanwhile I was BEGGED to stay and cover the entire day when I was ready to leave, and literally depressed I couldn't spend the day with my family because of these assholes
Also sleeping inside the job only to wake up the next day and work again was a regular occurrence that they tried REALLY HARD to convince me was nothing to worry about and that I should totally do it to save time
When I quit my job in order to commit to art and making commissions for money, on top of the fact I was developing an allergic reaction to the sanitizer I was asked to spray every day, and were only given a pair of gloves to prevent, which did NOT WORK
My family would go on to tell me I'm a lazy fuck who doesn't know the luck I have for having a job, and that they have had it way worse than me in every conceivable way no matter what I told them, so that meant I was a little bitch for leaving
I hate retail and I hate people who refuse to recognize it's fucking inhumane
@@Jack_Woods Wow... wth... I'm so sorry you had to go through that and worse your family then calling you lazy .-.

The most horrific aspect is that this game gives such a familiar fear being a girl walking to her car. Most people being so dismissive and the rest creepy. That truly lonely feeling where you know you only got yourself.
NEVER assume the killer is dead, he is more likely knocked out. Tie him up after checking that he isn't dead, then you can call the cops. Just make sure he can't escape easily.
Even if they seem dead after checking tie them up just in case.

@@lordrifjig8354 good ol’ fashioned double-tap
I’ve never seen the escape through vent scene cuz everyone usually figures out how to drop the brick but ofc Mark with his HUGE brain somehow figures out how to use the screwdriver 💀
I had no idea that was even an option! I hadn’t seen anyone else do tha
dude ifkr
Does that count as an ending even though it goes to a game over retry screen
I was curious to see what happens if u use the screw driver in the vent. Glad mark figured out
I thought Jack was going to do that in his play-through because I’m pretty sure he found the vent after he died on his first try, but he ended up also using the brick, and I was always wondering what the other ending was.
So I really like this game and I would definitely rewatch it but really quick I want to stamp a trigger warning at 1:03:30 cause I just found the noises in this part very disturbing. It could be just me but if any other girlies want to be forewarned, this game is about a girl being stalked, Mark gets the girl caught at this point, she is attacked, and the noises from the attack are just awful. You could skip about 20 secs. It’s just a heads up just in case. Please enjoy the video and have a nice day ♡
Thanks for the warning x
yep basically a grape scene
I watched another youtuber play it and either she didn’t get this ending or I didn’t realize but… when I saw people warn abt it then saw it it’s very obvious and tramatic… and of course mark didn’t get it. Cuz. Well. He doesn’t have to particularly worry abt such a situation as much as the common woman.
the moment Markiplier realized the harder coffee recipes were gonna be a part of the game is hilarious.

he is not a boss, he is another worker that was working there just more time than main character, that is why he is senpai.

I love how Mark's fight or flight response is perma-locked on FIGHT. Makes for a different kind of experience of the protag, and I 100% buy that his version of her gouged out the creep's brain with a screwdriver. Very interesting how different the same character can feel depending on who is playing them, despite being confined to the same linear path.
I was the last to leave work, the one I had at eighteen. It was just past one AM, and as I sat in my car, I got a text from someone I only knew vaguely from my high school circle a couple years before, basically asking how work was and we should hang out now that I'm not busy. I spun my head like an owl and didn't see anyone or any cars, the town was small and we had been one of the very last places to close in the whole county for the night, it was just silent out. I still had to stop and feed horses before I went in my house that night, very rural, no one would hear or see anything. So before I drove off I texted a couple people my concerns and that I was heading home, I'd tell them when I was there. And then at the barn I kept one on the phone the whole time, grateful and apologetic he stayed awake that late to do that for me, and then rushed into my house to double lock the doors and check the curtains were shut. I blocked the number but told my manager I wouldn't stay that late again, and got a different job and number soon after.
im really glad you were able to stay safe!
The scariest part ab this for me is that I've had people stalk me at job before so I know the fear it brings to not know what their angle is. Obv I know it to a lesser extent than this and the dude got arrested in my case but it's definitely a unique and terrible feeling that situation can inspire
Hi
I hope you're safe now!
I definitely get where you're coming from too. Im glad you're okay. one time when I was working 3rd shift at a previous job (thankfully we always have 2 people on a shift) a gentleman came in around 2am from out of town and he... wasn't in his right mind. he kept hitting on me. asking me extremely personal questions. my coworker thought it was hilarious, she was in the office giggling up a storm. I was polite and denied his advances but he was persistent. he kept saying he wanted kids. wanted me to go with him. then he legit got down on one knee and proposed to me. I shit you not. I was freaking out but scared he would come around around counter and hurt me. after almost 45 minutes he finally left. I was super scared and freaked out. thankfully I never saw him again. was too scared to call the police out of fear of not being taken seriously...
@@lemonywater2979 I am! Some coworkers helped me and told him to leave and when that didn't work my manager kicked him out and got police involved. I heard he was creepy to a few other employees too, I'm just glad he's gone. I start to panic whenever I see certain kinds of leather jackets now though lmao. I'm a cashier so he always came through my line, eventually with like one item week after week. Then one time he cornered me in my aisle and put his hands on me and I don't rlly remember much after that, just what my friend told me after. Still remember the nauseating mint smell tho. They told him to fuck off and eventually spoke up for me when he didn't leave me alone. Hope he rots.
Just recently when I was still in high school this guy from another class had apparently been stalking me for two years. He knew I have a dog that I take out on walks, he knew I have an elder brother who took my dog in the evenings, and he knew I didn’t come out much in the evenings. That was something not even close friends knew as some sort of fact. Only probably one or two people apart from my family knew about me not wanting to be out in the evenings for any reason or the other. And I live in a pretty guarded area. So this guy one day waited for me outside for like 2 hours in the afternoon on a very hot day- easily above 40°C, while I was at my friend’s house and waited till I was alone to approach me. I’d seen him loitering around when we were going to her house and also to mine to get my dog. We were concerned about the guy when we had seen him and were even considering to approach him to ask whether he was okay. Not only that, I had a feeling we were being watched, and lo and behold that guy was a bit away from us with his phone pointed to our, and when I pointed him out to my friends he acted as if he were taking a video of the scenery around. Anyways, he approaches me and introduces himself as a friend of a friend saying that he had told him about me and he’d been wanted to talk to me for a while now. Then he tells me how I don’t get out in the evenings, and that he’d waited 7 hours on another occasion to meet me. Then he proudly tells me how he had seen me 2 years ago, describing my outfit and that my dog had barked at him, “probably because he didn’t like the way I was looking at his owner”. There was no one around, and I was tired and just wanted to go home, not to mention how hot it was. I couldn’t have run away or fought him, I didn’t know what his intentions were, and my dog is rather big and he was too tired so I couldn’t run with him in that state too. So i asked for his Instagram and got hold of his name, but then I noticed this guy had liked a couple posts of mine a few days ago. It was really creepy. I’m okay now, thankfully I told my brother and he took care of everything, although I’m afraid we didn’t report him to the school authorities, thanks to certain prior experiences we’ve had with them to know they won’t do anything and blame me instead. My parents also got me some pepper spray because this was just too much, and I wasn’t to leave the house without a friend. God only knows what all he knew about me and what he could do next. I’m glad to say that quite a bit of time has passed since then and I’m completely safe :)
There’s something so comforting about watching Mark make coffee. Even though he’s screaming the entire time.
I'm on 16:45 and the true terror is actually having to be a barista with no training beforehand
the best part about this game, are the irl effects of it. watching people like mark and dantdm play this game, feeling completely normal at the start- then starting to get progressively more paranoid. they start questioning themselves irl, and become more alert in the game. its crazy how a game can have such a prominent psychological effect in real life.

This is really the only game I’ve seen that truly captures the fear of being stalked. Like the panic that you don’t know what’s coincidence and what’s them and that they could literally be anybody you meet today, it’s really impressive actually
Watching playthroughs of this game far too many times, something occurred to me, is how MC was *already* being stalked before the player sees him, before giving him his phone. In his note he says the first time they met was at Chilla's, probably as a customer. The phone scene was his "proof" MC loved him too, which I'm willing to bet was a deliberate setup. But before the start of the game he'd already fixated on MC and figured out where she lived. Disconcerting to realize that from the first instant of starting the game, he's already that close. And he was already moved into the store. The door starts out locked, day 1. He wasn't getting closer when we see him, he's getting bolder.
its a chick
Someone gets it!~
OMG that makes so much sense with the note bc at first you read it and it’s so confusing but anniversary is at least a year so she’s been stalked for so long tysm for the revelation
As someone who has both been a barista, and had a super creepy stalker, this is so accurate. There was something oddly comforting about seeing Mark reacting the same way as I have to these things in real life. From checking the back seat of the car, to being afraid to leave work, or even take out the trash, and looking for some kind of weapon. I really appreciated it, even as I squirmed uncontrollably with discomfort while watching it.
Not gonna lie, read that as "As someone who has both been a barista and a super creepy stalker, this is so accurate"

A Glock 17 would’ve fixed the entire problem though. Stay strapped stay safe.

Life is a struggle, this world is unsafe, and there are plenty of evil people in it. Your defense is, unfortunately your responsibility if only because only you can actually control it. Fortunately, ever since colt invented the 1911, you have nearly complete control over your safety.
@@feartheghus I don't disagree. I'm from Arizona, and have known how to handle guns since I was about 11. I always have a 9mm locked away in my car when driving for work, but I also have two young kids, so I have to walk the safety line very carefully. They haven't handled guns yet, but my husband and I have been teaching them gun safety with their toy weapons (bows and arrows and pretend star wars blasters) since they could talk. We have both our daughters enrolled in Kung Fu as well, and I've learned a number of self defence tactics from my uncle, who's a marine vet. People are crazy. I agree, it's best to be prepared, so long as you do it safely and intelligently.

The "How did you survive childhood ?" got me in tears.
i couldn’t handle being a barista. not only because i wont remember all that goes into a drink but i’ve dealt with enough creeps at my retail job rn. this game was really accurate
the first 10-15 minutes of this was absolute terror because it was so real. Scariest moments are when you're on a new service job and you haven't been properly trained and you're expected to work without help and a bunch of customers come in thinking you know what you're doing.
and then the customers are condescending and like "are you neww?" and you're like yes! i am! and my trainer showed me how to do this one time before taking a thirty minute smoke break!
Yeah, that part was too real. I actually got kind of stressed when he looked at the training tapes. Trying to remember where everything was and in which order to do all the tasks, just... Vietnam flashbacks of the highest order ensued :)
Exactly! My gosh yes. Older people looove to make it a generational thing too, like "Oh you don't know what you're doing because you're either not paying attention or you just don't give a shit." Meanwhile it's THEIR generation that's not teaching us properly, throwing us to the wolves like Senpai in the game. They're the ones that don't give a shit, who dont have a clue what good work ethic is and refuse to have the sympathy or even the patience to teach. You'd think they'd want efficiency as bad as the customers expect it pft.
Dude I relate so much. This is my second summer working at a retail store, and I still feel like a deer caught in headlights when a customer asks me where literally anything is
"I don't set the prices sir!"

The job drove him to attempt 'un-alive'. Luckily, he didn't do a very good job of it, because I'd have hated to lose a friend to such a horrible circumstance, but he has PTSD from working there. He can't even walk into one of their stores or he shuts down. Seeing that shit? It really hurts.

To be fair, a mad dash for the car might've been more doable if the stalker didn't move so unrealistically fast. Not at all a safe option but if you just want /out/ of a terrifying situation it's not a weird one to pick, especially since the stalker doesn't move from the other end of the building 'til after you can't see him.

Nah that's just a poor excuse for an unpolished product. If anything the game becomes comical with they way all the characters look and move. It's much better for a horror game to get progressively unsettling as things actually start to get weird, instead of everything being buggy and everyone giving the sense of the uncanny valley, even if there isn't supposed to be anything off with them.

this whole game was such a subtle scare compared to other flashy horror games, but I think that is what makes it so terrifying. The fact that this kind of story really does happen in real life is the scariest thing of all, this is why your driving instructors say always check your back seat before getting in the car.

Bro u know who else who makes videos that are also entertaining ? Mine just like Markiplier hundred percent u will die of laughter bro
I enjoyed this video and I also liked this game. However this comment section is not it. There are some people, particularly women, pointing out how accurate this game is when it comes to issues WOMEN often face (bc that’s what the game is about, that’s what it simulates: being stalked as a young woman). Then the other replies are about “women are accountable and need to protect themselves” or “it happens to men too” or “it’s just a video game, it’s not accurate to real life” and tons of more bizarre comments. First of all, we all get this happens to men too. We’re talking about how it happens to women though bc 1) that’s what the video game is focused on: a woman being stalked 2) stalking/assault towards women is at a depressing rate, so most of it happens to women. Saying that doesn’t discredit anything that happens to men. It’s just acknowledging how often women face it. About being “accountable for your safety” yes. Women should take self defense classes and at least carry guns/self defense weapons. However, it should not be a REQUIREMENT to FEELING safe every time you leave your home. If a girl doesn’t want to spend a quarter of her life & time doing self defense classes, that’s fine too and should be recognized as such. Also, bottom line, a girl being assaulted should always be looked at as horrific and disgusted towards the perpetrator. NOT “the girl could’ve done more to prevent this”. Finally, saying “it’s just a video game” under a WOMAN’S comment explaining how accurate it is to a WOMAN’S life is just ridiculous. Like how do you discredit that, she’s literally lived as a woman so ofc she would know. Her verifying the accuracy of the game is just a comment about the sad parallels between the game and real life. Can’t believe some of you are telling women what they do/don’t face.
