@reecemcnaughten4160 until you realize the fish are prisoners of human intrigue without the consciousness to understand it and just go about life believing all is normal while food, heat and oxygen is supplied by hairless monkeys because fish pretty but yeah if you're not smart enough to think about it we won't blame you
Now I know what all the poster when I ride the subway are for. So I can detect when I pass into an alternate universe via micro changes to the environment 😅
Pretty cool prequel. Like others have said, I like that the dev changed things up a bit, instead of latching onto the same gameplay type. Really curious to what the sequel might be.
@@rprince418 basically, some other guy commented here that they found a snail. The joke is that people are building off that, like saying the snail told them a guy found them, etc.
I respect them for not going the easy route and merely copying the formula they invented, like tons of others have done by now, but for switching it up just a bit while still keeping the roots recognizable.
They slightly changed that Kukudo Station ending now where one of the ghost anomalies will eventually get you and suck your soul out. They've been doing minor updates by the minute.
@@cleversmart0303 I think they might've fixed it. Tried it again recently and apparently I didn't die this time around. Was infinitely stuck just like when the game first came out.
The Japanese shouting in the train at 8:12 translates to: "Help me! Somebody! Is there anybody (there)? Hey! Excuse me! Help me!" It is looped several times as well.
Its cool to see a proper sequel to EXIT 8. Though i guess its a prequel. I love that one of the posters was of kuukiyomi. The only thing i recognized lol. The dev has real knack for these type of games. Not just spotting the anomalies but surviving them. More like a puzzle game. I like that you do get into a place like silent hill lol.
I think nobody noticed all station names are started with number (一, 二, 三, 四...) that's why Foggy station (9th(九)) was a bad ending. 9th station is not exist.
So close to 2 million! I've been a fan for 4 years now, and it makes me so happy to see one of my favorite youtubers get the recognition he deserves! ❤
for some reason, the other day i saw a bunch of people hudled around something on the ground, i dont know what they were doing but i wonder what they were looking at
are these all real ads in the subway? Out of curiosity I tried QR code on the stuffed animal one and it's a real product from a real stuffed toy manufacturer
I mean one of the ads is a real life game called "KUUKIYOMI: Consider It" which I recognised immediatly , so perhaps yes ? Now on the other hand I'm not sure if they are sponsored or just references of japanese culture ... Eh not sure really but cool either way I guess x^) ..
Of all the games I expected to have a sequel, this was not it. Also, the vibes of this train feel a lot like another game I saw about a former cop with ptsd. That one had a lot more blood in the train EDIT: I'VE BEEN LIED TO. IT WAS A PREQUEL
i love it that streamers/youtubers has the impression that this game would be similar to the 1st game, and thus act the same way and didnt expect the gameplay to different
PERFECT. I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO DRAW A HUMAN SIZED AND HUMAN SHAPED FURBY STATUE ON HEELYS THAT HOLDS WITH SILVER TAPE. I HAVE SOMETHING TO WATCH NOW WITH IT :DDDD
My masterpiece is almost done. Colorful furbies, looking straight into your soul made into human-shaped clump of these little demons that are on heelys with flames on them for greater mobility when t h e t h i n g starts chasing you at night when you least expect it. I plan on draw the same thing but burned to the point of melting, making it a creation of horror that crawled out of the deepest abyss of hell, that talks in furbish about death and how it awaits your perishing
Fun fact, all the stations' names include a Japanese number. As an example, Hachiban has "hachi" (八), which means eight. When you get to the Silent Hill station its name is Kukudo, with "ku" (く/九)meaning 9.
And that's why the player is trapped in an endless loop there, where the only exit is to reset the game. Just like the game's name, there are only 8 stations. So the 9th station is something that shouldn't exist. Entering it means trapping yourself inside an anomaly.
It's also perfectly fitting, because 九、 when read as 「く」 is a homophone of 苦、"suffering" or "torment". Very smart way of integrating a gameplay element into the in-universe world.
At around 4:00, when you see the white flickering girl the second time, the sign behind her where the next stop would usually display says "DO NOT LOOK AWAY".
I got it after the death by opening the door. I wish it was maybe made a little clearer but needing to follow the instructions above the doors to advance is original!
"One of the differences is you're going to have hair". Fir a moment i thought manly was going to make a deep cut by walking away for a quick moment , turn back, and say "yes you heard me".
I think an interesting sequel would be somthing like 8th Avenue or the 8th Floor, where you need to wander identical city apartments or back streets in the middle of the night. It's a pretty liminal experience and sometimes you catch glimpses of random things just happening. And the dev is really fleshing out his environments and animations pretty well. Would love to see them try their hand at somthing bigger.
I really love this concept, i would like to see someday a full game about this with multiple worlds, also really loved the sudden "Silent Hill" Feeling.
I like this one. I think it has a sliver of a good idea where you have to solve the anomalies themselves to get through the cars, but it needs more anomalies and puzzles.
The guy is a genius for letting us have exit 8 and then giving the prequel with platform 8 and then giving us the hint at the end like "you can't escape the deja vu feel"
The pic of the people sitting on a train with a blue and red guy. Is that something that actually exist as signs somewhere because I know that pic from the Consider It series. Fun games
Finally! A new Manly video to keep my mind off of the miserable existence that we all live in on this unfair and godforsaken corporeal realm of a planet we call Earth.
Hey man, the earth is actually pretty good! We are in a perfect spot close, but not too close to the sun. It’s such a perfect spot that life can flourish! It’s everything else that sucks ass. Mostly humans. Life already sucks but humans actively ruin it further.
This is probably more funny to me because i live in the UK, so Prince William pops up on the news, magazines, etc, a lot more. But every time i look at that dude, he sat staring at his phone on the train. With his thinning hair, i keep thinking it's randomly Prince William just sat on public transport. 😂😂😂😂 which is hilarious in itself, a royal who dies all these charity things with lower class people, who go out and meet the public, sitting on the London underground. I bet uf anything, he's only seen actual public transport in the UK like once, and that was all for the photos. 😂😂😂
It's surreal how realistic this looks, like it almost looks like a live action movie, something is just off enough to let you know it's not real but boy it sure is a close thing
I actually didn't know there was a sequel but it nakes sense since the protagonist is at an underground train station that they'd progress to being on the train itself
I loved seeing the Kuukiyomi Consider It poster on the train, what a great Easter egg! A lot of the posters in this game are actually advertising real things it looks like at first glance, but they're probably puns like what you see with real brands in anime (WcDonald's or what have you)
You truly are an amazing youtube ManlyBadassHero. You are so great. You know that... I always get happy when I see you uploading videos. Because I know about the secret riddles inside of them. You resonate in a magical way. I hope that you are aware of this. Anyhow I'm telling you because I have an eye for these things. Keep up the good work. You're amazing as usual. Have a great day!
Honestly the true ending is really nice the way they tie it all together even though you can kinda tell based on just being on a train to begin with. And it's a simple, enjoyable and entertaining game.
leading into the first one was neat. I think this could/should have leaned more into "solving" the anomalies. like say, giving a doll to the girl. stop drop and roll for the smoke filled car.
Guys, my snail broke out from his cage. If you find him, do NOT interract with him. He's incredibly dangerous and targets anyone who's aquired a million dollars out of nowhere. Just be cautious and don't let yourselves be tricked by his sinister ways.
Man, this guy's life must be so annoying Imagine having to go through 2 near endlessly looping anomaly filled liminal spaces every time he has to go from one place to another And that's just as far as we know He may very well have to go through another one or two as he walks to work or home

You know you've watched too much Manly when you can predict exactly when he'll say "this can't be happening" and say it in the exact same cadence
The cadence is taken from eternal darkness
Why does he say that? Is it a reference to something specific?

Protag goes through looping stations just to end up in looping trains. I think he might have more problems than ghostly apparitions lol
I wonder what the theme/title if it have another sequel. Start 8?
@@r3dr4te963Terminal 8. The protag got off the airport just to took the train. Completing the trilogy.

Can't wait for the next installment in the series, airport 8
Stair 8 let's gooo
*terminal 8
based in Haneda airport. the one I flew into.
Bathroom 8
whats the theme of that one, getting stopped by the tsa at the end of each hallway?
That one passenger must have been thru some real sh*t before that he's not fazed at all
Could it be possible that he doesn't even notice it? Maybe the anomalies only affect the player.
It's the guy that has to run circles in the previous game. After that he was just never the same....
He's one of the anomalies
Reallllllll
he's been through this so much he became a part of it. probably not even human anymore
"You know at some point one of the differences is gonna be that you're gonna have hair" DAMN

Trains and anomalies, Manly's two favorite animes
closely tied with horrorxfishing

Hope it wasn't eaten.
At around 4:00, when you see the white flickering girl the second time, the sign behind her where the next stop would usually display says "DO NOT LOOK AWAY".
5:27 the sign where the stop would be says "DO NOT LOOK"
I think the reason why Manly is so popular and beloved is because he never tries to sell you anything.
20:22 "do not look back"
**looks back**
I almost expected that Kukudo station to be a reference to Kisaragi Station, famously referenced in Otherside Picnic.
"One of the differences is that youre gonna have hair"

The pic of the people sitting on a train with a blue and red guy. Is that something that actually exist as signs somewhere because I know that pic from the Consider It series. Fun games
In a sense, this game is the prequel since in exit 8 they are trying to get out of the subway
Yeah true
If there's another sequel, I guess it's about the player on their way to station; Enter 8/Start 8?

13:32 its so cool how they used the door opening as a transition for the man to stand up and teleport to the end of the train
It's kind of funny how many horror games trains have inspired. It's always the interior too, not that you're in a metal tube going over 100mph.

Imagine having to go through 2 near endlessly looping anomaly filled liminal spaces every time he has to go from one place to another
And that's just as far as we know
He may very well have to go through another one or two as he walks to work or home
5:04 is actually a pretty good depiction of what it feels like to ride the train when you have social anxiety
Manly slowly working his way up to becoming an Eternal Darkness protagonist
The "This can't be happening" reminds me of the sanity effects from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
