Good morning, I'm doing great! how about you Manly?
"Oh it's just a normal fish"
Fish: *An actual woman*
"I like my women the way I like my fish... Eldritch abominations."
She was quite the catch
Need some master bait to catch one

Imagine running away from a serial killer that calmly keeps saying "Hey, hey buddy. Heeey buddy. Hey buddy. Let me eat you."
I don't know if I'd be terrified or amused
Probably both
@@cheeseobsession4122 aroused, you mean?
Pretty close to that one guy from Outlast who takes the protagonist's fingers.
Ala Austin Powers...Fat Bastard:' GET IN MY BELLY!"😂😂
Corpse husband did something similar in an old Among Us video
Man, these controls seems like they'd absolutely cause me to commit homicide, very believable game in that sense.
I'd have lost patience long before Manly did. The main problem with a lot of indie devs is they are absolutely terrible at handling difficulty gradients and so the player is left ultimately frustrated that a playthrough will depend more on luck than on skill.
After giving it a quick go the sense of influence you have on the fish is deeply vague and barely adjusts any fast movements they make. You can turn a great deal to one side and slowly bring in one veering off, but if it chooses to go that same direction, it just will and your steep angle doesn't seem to matter. Not well thought out.
@@oxymoron02 I lost my patience just watching manly play, I legit got a little upset.
If I had a nickel for every fishing horror game out there, well... I'd have a lot of nickels.
How many dollar tho?
@@conq1273 However many nickels I have divided by twenty
Fish are spooky, like people but wet
Fishing is rather scary
dredge is cool
"Every game should have a fishing minigame!"
*Horror game devs:* "Say no more fam"
If I had 5 cents for every fishing horror game I would have like 5 bucks
At least the horror ones are fun and interesting instead of needlessly difficult and required for 100%
developer here: thanks a lot for checking out our game! I loved how you read the poem in the end! :)
Soft criticism here but if you ever plan to return to this concept, please make the story more understood, like maybe dialogue from the player, reminiscing, etc. and the fishing mechanic easier to control. Loved the bloody sea and rain.
@@cheddarchemist5644 Having any dialogue feels counterintuitive in a game like this. I feel like what'd fit better would be fishing up "random" items that fit the final narrative. Things like a wedding ring, a prescription bottle, or a withered flower. I could agree with the fishing mechanic part, though
@@acespades2387 sorry if I yap a little LMAO but fair enough, I think giving the protag a "voice" (not necessarily having a voice actor) in some way can help offer context. I do like the idea of additional items being fished up. I was left confused on who the other faces belonged to, I only pieced together the wife and baby at the end. Was it just to create a more unsettling atmosphere, or were they people the main character assumed to be a part of the affair?
How long did it take you to make the game mister developer sir
Can i ask the meaning of the poem? English is not my mother tongue
So you're telling me fishes dont usually have grotesque human faces? Gotta watch what I eat now 😮
you telling me people dont eat literal woman on daily basis? gotta make sure nobody checks my fridge now
@@ClaustroPasta Roast baby and fries - Mmmmmm! 👶🍟
Some fish do have really human looking faces in real life💀
Well if you go to the black water you'll find something.
Someone saw Stardew Valley's fishing and was like "yeah, i can make it more difficult and also a horror game"
Fr lmao
I really don't get how people can find Stardew Valley's fishing to be difficult. I guess it could be because Stardew managed to attract people who otherwise only play very easy and casual games like Animal Crossing.
@@Shannon4710sdv's fishing mechanic is super easy to me, and there's resources that help make things easier, I feel like most people are just using a plain fishing rod with nothing else 😭
These people have no clue about the actual fishing games that exist@@Shannon4710
@@Shannon4710 Yeah is one of the easiest fishing minigames there is, is also only hard at the start because you have no skills but after that is quite easy
The fisherman threw the baby and wife into the ocean where he never returned to shore
You mean the cheating wife and affair child.
@@zerotodona1495Not quite, it's implied by the poem that he believed his wife was and killed her. There's a chance he had just suspected it but was wrong in his assumption, only to lose his child as a result.
@@zerotodona1495 All I know is 3 souls came to the river of death and only the child had a token
hell would resembling a location from your past life.
@@syos1979 do you not know what I am? I took the child’s coin and sent him to the beyond
2:30 I literally thought Manly was making those noises at first 💀🙏🙏
DUDE ME TOO!!! I kept waiting for him to stop and to start laughing because he was trying to be funny, and instead he makes a comment about the fish making noise!!! It spooked the hell outta me!
The Seaman ref was solid, that game spooked the hell out of me as a kid even though it was meant to be funny
lol, I know the reference too! Thanks AVGN for covering the game!
@@boltlighting🖖FOR NIMOYYYY
Thinking it over I believe I figured out the story, the main character/ fisherman had a wife that he suspected was cheating on him with a friend of hers or someone she knew and some time later she got pregnant and had a baby. But the main character/ fisherman still suspected she cheated on him and got pregnant with her lover's child instead of his, so in a jealous rage he killed all three of them either by drowning them or by cutting them up and then desposing the. bodies by dumping them in a river. And after doing all that the main character / fisherman tries to get his mind off of what he done by going on a fishing trip, but his guilty eats at him and he sees what we witness in the game.
woahh, thank you for the explanation tho
The fish on the thumbnail looked like he was about to review an obscure eastern european/chinese video game, funded by the merchant's guild.
Hey hey people
he kinda looks like john cena
That’s antisemitic bro!
Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you'll give him a lifetime of PTSD.
Should have told them the ocean is like haunted and stuff but oh well.
Spoken true! Boat docks;
"Hey honey, I caught a- well its.. how do you debone a speaking, human-headed, fish? I mean, this thing safe to eat? Fish and game wouldn't call this murder in the first, would they?Should I ask it first about winning lottery numbers?"
It’s actually fairly common for fish to be able to growl or croak at you when caught! Nothing out of the ordinary
I love it; I'm 8 minutes in. Skies dark, wave peak and trough margins widening. Ocean turns blood red. Manly, just calmly fishing.
_And they all watched_
The fish were not-so-silent witnesses, being told to relax as you reeled them in. Fishing horror is awesome. This had nice touches with the blood rain and ending poetry.
5:20 "Let me eat you" -Manly (2024)
I totally thought of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers saying Get in my belly!" 🤣
You know you are at level of pro angler when you can also have yourself a personal relationship with the fish.
"Let me eat you." I mean, it doesn't get much more personal and honest than that lol.
Fishing horror games are such an underrated niche
Not really
At this point, I don't think they're that underrated
Or a niche
@@gerickollarena oh they are a niche still, just like evolution games, it's just a frequency bias or recent trend
@@f4rtsman425 So far I've seen 2 maybe 3 evolution games
Not underrated but definitely a niche.
I work grave shift security, posted somewhere where I sit and do absolutely nothing tonight essentially. So this is a nice treat of an upload lol.
have a good shift tonigh too
Turn down the volume, you might wake up the sleeping graves
7:30 dawg if someone told me to relax like that while actively trying to kill me id be so dead
That stingray sounded like me when I had to wake up at 7am but it's already 7:99am
Fishing horror continues to thrive. We've got a pretty classical take on it, good old guilt driving the fear. The seaman fish is kind of taking me out of it, but that's because I know the game so the bizarre sight a fish with a human face is lessened; I still appreciate how weird all these are.
The red worm looking creature honestly just looks like an unusually gigantic Blood Worm
Hey Manly. I just wanted to say thanks for uploading such banger videos. My dad passed away this month and watching you has really helped me cope (or rather ignore) a lot of the pain. I hope you enjoy making new content. I'll see you next time
im really sorry for your loss , friend /:
@@haleandguu Thank you, man. I appreciate it
I'm sorry for your loss, i hope you're doing well and that i wish you well. Sending hugs,friend..🫂
Funfact, since Fish can occasionaly have a random mutation that end up having them growing a 2nd head
A Sheepshead with 2nd Head will look EXACTLY like a Human face
that fish has teeth??? it looks so freaky, perfect for horror themes
This fact isn't fun at all!
I just Google it. and I hate it.
Not true
What? That looks nothing like a human face. The only things I've found were either AI generated or photos from very specific angles.
Hearing manly mention seaman means he is very cultured
I have both the Dreamcast release and the limited Japanese editions of the PS2 port and the PS2 sequel which came with unique bizarre almost unusable controllers
@@ManlyBadassHeroThat is absolutely godly. Mad respects.
@@ManlyBadassHero There was a sequel?
Woke up from a nice dream straight to a Manly upload. Life is good
Same
what was the dream about?
Me too
It is important to remember that
YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE BODIES IN THE WATER!
My favorite SCP
I do not recognize the bodies in the water... Wait... That one fish looked like my friend Jim... Weird.
@sammyyes1146 it's too late for you Sammy 😆
God, that fishing mechanic seems so frustrating
So is fishing itself, to the complete novice.
@@lockmuertosif i wanted to fish, i would fish. fishing in games is supposed to be fun for gamers.
The fish after I put on my 'women fear me' copypasta hat and tell them to face me:
I admit, when the stingray first started groaning, I thought that was Manly.
I dunno bout yall but when he said relax with his soothing voice it worked on on me
Bro has been playing banger games recently
Manly: "can just dump it in there- it's raining blood."
the comedic timing off muttering about a mechanic and then just- 'oh well this is normal'.
I personally love fishing
who know fishing can be so horror....'-'
but fishing at sea are so scary because u can't imagine what big fish or creature beneath u
The blood ocean and mustard gas sky are looking bee-yootiful this afternoon! :D
Literally!!! This is the first time I've seen Manly make his presentation without putting or seeing the game menu first.
Its cuz the game has no menu. No starting menu, pause menu nothing
My head tilts along whenever he's reeling in the fish.
When im feeling down i love to just watch some of this dudes videos they just make me forget everything that stresses me out
after 15:16 happened and then he said the next thing “is just there” and “not putting up any fight” i kinda guessed what was gonna get reeled in next…. geez
Interesting catching mechanic, moving the line into the circle to reel them in, haven't seen that before, I think.
ALso a horror game about the terror of being alone at sea, many nautical miles away from any other person to talk to.
Fishy
Mmm yummy
Fishy
Mmm yummy
Fishy
Mmm yummy
awwwww thank you manly, you reminded me what my parents said when they first saw me :')
8:52
There are so many fishing horror games for some reason.
And I love it. More please.
Damn Manly has been on a ROLL
Oh so this is why fishermen get to retire early
9:08 dont worry, its just a sea lamprey, goes good cooked and chopped up into pieces with some salt
Horror fishing games are one of my favorite games you play! Keep up the good work Manly!
*Mourning Tide, uploaded in....the morning. Love it.
Love your videos man, keep up the good work🎉
4:21 manly:okay what's up with these fish stingrays
Me:man I hate it when my fish is fish!
The fact that you posted this an hour ago at 1 am, and I'm here watching this at 2 am to go to sleep. I don't know what sleep is!
Am I getting a reward for being a good nocturnal?
My thoughts exactly, it's 1 am
It's 4 am for me rn
Its 4pm on me
its 2:30 am for me
@@infernoferocious7029 5 30 for me
I wonder why the wife's bodybag appears to be semi-clear
"She's dead, wrapped in plastic."
Im starting to believe these fish are not as normal as Manly said
The weather, the climate, and even the ocean seem to change in this game, it's so slow that you won't even notice it at first until much later in the end.
*The sky rains blood*
Guy: well, let’s keep fishing 🎣
its 2 am for me, ill watch this in about 6 hours
I love fishing.
Manly playing cursed fishing games is its own kind of asmr at this point
Out of my too big video feed I can't possibly catch up with, I always make sure to manually check your channel every now and then. Just in time, it seems. It's time for a treat!
I hate it when the fish I catched has human faces.
Communicative stingray 😂
5:27 *whispers* rules. of. nature! hahah I always love when Manly says that! I have no idea where it's from!
I don't know why but this also reminds me of another game he played.
I think it was 2D. I remember it being about a bald guy on a small boat fishing. Then his eyes start bleeding or smth and the ocean turns red(?)
I was gonna go to bed cause it’s currently 4:15 am where I am but ain’t no way I’m missing a chance of being this early to another horror game video
eyo east coast ftw
The game's art and atmosphere were unsettling at best, but watching him play the world's most frustrating fishing mini-game had me begging for mercy. That's the kind of horror that you don't get just anywhere!
I used this to fall asleep last night. This and the space lung where just extremely soothing
Fridge horror: The amount of fight the "fish" put up represents the amount of fight the people put up.
The wife is the most difficult to catch, because she fought back when her husband murdered her (or when he killed her son).
The baby just sits there, because it's a baby and was incapable of fighting back at all.
Oof.
Teach a man to fish and he eats forever!
Teach Manly to fish and somehow the world ends forever!
I was a guilty fisherman at sea catching fish with faces once....then I took an arrow to the knee....
You know it’s gonna be a good day when manly posts a video
I’ve bet been this early for a Manley video before! So excited!
Nice to see him finally play a relaxing game
I love your videos!❤
Straight out of Jinmen with this one
Manly has the most interesting upload times but i got time for this before work
11 minutes ago- well, I can't go to bed now that Manly has posted, even if it is almost 3:30 in the morning
The sea was angry that day, my friends
Buddy i think your ship wandered off course into hell
“Is that Seaman?!” -Manly 2024
Reminds me a lot of Seaman from the Dreamcast
...I don't know which game is scarier to be honest
Lmao manly said the same thing like right after I wrote that
hands down the best game play youtuber ❤, keep up the great work 😎🐴
I was thinking from the thumbnail that I've seen these fish on the Dreamcast. This game has a unique way of fishing with that pull mechanic. It demands skill. You've gotta earn that nautical horror.
Horror fishing games are the best, man. Dredge is my favorite but there’s lots of strong options.
I've only went fishing with my family a few times, and never once did I went fishing alone. But I can sort of understand why it become a horror niche.
Even one of my favorite contemporary Lovecraftian novels is literally called The Fisherman.
Especially when you are fishing alone in the wilderness, and before you is a body of water which is a huge "unknown factor" to you. Distant from civilization, together with the peaceful but also somewhat eerie atmosphere of nature, this kind of experience can keep some overthinking minds go wild with their imaginations lol.
Just noticed Manly is only one step away from hitting 2M now :)
"OK, seriously, what's with these fish stingrays?" -Manly 😂
I like it when manly plays a fishing game
He has his own kind of humour but i love it
The fact you actually know Seaman and like it, makes me smile.
hearing manly get genuinely frustrated at the fish is a little humerous. like he's normally so calm
I'd watch Manly play more fishing games, horror or not. It's kind of relaxing.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking of the dreamcast during this, surprisingly realistic fishing for the frustration of them getting away lol.
Love the channel my guy! The vibe of this game is a trip
Finally, a worthy sequel to Seaman (the hit SEGA Saturn game)
Please do a full play through series of The Night is Grey, your play of the demo is one of my favourite videos!
Finally the long awaited Seaman sequel!
