Welcome to the Ribbit Club, how Ribbit are ya?
Jason Funderberker
I liked the part where the frog said "its ribitting time!" And ribited all over the bad guys.
I am frog
very ribbit
Ribbit Ribbit.
Surely all these -OBVIOUS- red flags must mean that this cafe is safe and the owners have a good sense of humor.
Lmaoooo the way you scratched “obvious”😂
Tbh the only red flag i can think of is the flytraps
@@_stillborn Run by frogs, Flytraps in the name, Living Flytraps in the Cafe, Won't tell you what Meat is in the Meat Pie. Everything else was after the Night / Daydream
Your honor, clearly the cafe owner is not guilty at all, he's just a very goofy fella
The fact flies come to that place is the joke
A fly going to a place named Cafe Venus Flytrap run by frogs is like if I (a human) went to a place called Hannibal Lecter's BBQ or something, the signs aren't subtle
Now I want to see an actual restaurant called Hannibal Lecter's BBQ. They'd play up the theme for black comedy and all the dishes would LOOK like human meat, but actually be pork and veal and the like.
Well, the protagonist fly did ask what venus flytrap was
@@albystra2231 wich means they don't know what a fly trap was, nore did he know that frogs were carnivorous, so hes not that dumb for trusting it..
I think there is an actual resturant that sevres "human meat". Its not actual human meat but hey, thats the theme.
I mean, if you don't know who Hannibal Lecter is, that might sound delightful
Manly whenever he sees a rabbit: "Bun"
Manly whenever he sees a frog:
"They're frogs"
Ever since he played Omori, every rabbit he sees is bun.
@@verysadcatc7897 It's since far, far before that actually.
Unless there's a joke I'm whooshed here.
@@verysadcatc7897 This was a joke LONG before Omori lol.
@@Bloomkyaaa yeah like I remember it being like way back in the early days, like when Gray Garden/Wadanohara/Yanderella days
@@hoyitsmiguel I miss the old RPG Maker days, we still get them, but they're not quite the same as Ib, Witch's House, and Yume Nikki... etc.
No restaurant horror is complete without a meat pie....
I agree.
Meet bun
I'm going to fix that somehow. >:3
And no restaurant is perfect without a bit of dark secrets
gotta have the meat pie made of customers
The protag really shoulda saw that one coming, with a restaurant ran by frogs of all things.
I don’t think people in general expect to be eaten, conflicting species or not
everyone knows if you're in animal ppl world you go to the cowgirl bakery, smh
@@jfa99
Or the cowgirl ice cream parlour.
@@use-your-imagination I dunno. If I found a restaurant called Human Trap run by ... lions or something I'd expect to be eaten.
It is one of the more obvious themes for the viewer. Heavy-handed and quite direct too. I was hoping for some actual surprise.
interesting how flies have sparkly anime eyes and the frogs have realistic eyes
Like real anime
Kawaii flies rubbing their hands together
Can you imagine how hard it would be to give these flies realistic eyes that looked good in both the art style and the fact that the game is pixelated? Would be a nightmare.
@@oatmealman1586 there's a circle tool
@@oatmealman1586 pretty sure it's just to make you feel more put off by the frogs and think the flies are cute/innocent
It's one of those games where there really is no surprise but that's fine because it's done in a solid manner. This does exactly what it needs to.
Solid ? It was shit. Not even the writing was good.
That's the point of the Sweet to Sour jam
Yea
The frog’s effed in both scenarios because in the no-knife ending he essentially gave enough time for the fly to get the knife again lmao
Lol
There's something really comical about a fly not knowing that venus flytraps and frogs are both predators of flies. It's such an amusing dramatic irony because in most other settings with predators and prey, the prey are usually aware who their predators are
Agreed.
I guess because maybe with the flytrap, no flies ever survive to tell the tale 😬
@@snakewithapen5489 omg
the smells and liquid secreted by flytraps lure them in. Applying that logic to furry creatures those flies are probably already mentally compromised upon entering the place, luring them into a false calm and sense of security. The scents wafting from the bakery alone likely enough to drug them even before they're eating the sweets. Under normal circumstances the flies may have known to be wary of frogs but by using flytrap nectar in their baking the frogs are essentially weaponizing a cognitohazard to their advantage. It's extremely clever imo.
Proving that flies really aren’t that smart 💀
i love that the sprites for the flies all have their hands clasped together...like flies rubbing their front leggies together
Same ejfwhjrjwnf
I did not expect a game where our protagonist has to face microaggressions from evil bakers but here we are
👍👏👏👏
Sure the frogs are gonna eat the flies, but do they really have to be so racist when they do it?
*i think these aggressions are a bit more than micro*
microaggressions????? thats full fly racism right there
More like macroaggressions
I guess that fly will end up writing a thriller novel instead of story about sweets after that whole ordeal
Not gonna sugarcoat it. That one will probably sell a lot better.
@David Eloiza pun!?
@@davideloiza1779 Like the Stephen King novel Misery
With the "people are the food" games
you'd think they move "meat" processing to a different location then the main store
Moving the product around like that, not to mention having a location theoretically outside of your ability to monitor as much as possible, carries just as much if not more risk.
If I had a nickel for every time Manly played a
Cute Cannibal Cafe game...
u would have at least a dollar or two by now
With anthro characters nonetheless
@Yo What and meatpies specifically
All about Sweeney Todd
Canibalism is when a member of a species eat a member of the same species, so this game is not tecnically canibalism.
I really like how the knifeless ending was a different ending and not straight for the kill. That one also still is creepy in its own way. Imagine yourself in that mind game...!
It's even creepier when you realize the frog isn't running after them, they are _Walking,_ wich means they fully know the fly can't go anywhere and so make the chase take longer
Idk, If I was the fly I would try to hit the frog with a table or run back to the knife and grab it.
Anything can be a weapon.
@@KillerCrewmate2526 What the fuck
You mean you would needlessly make a rabbit suffer by dragging out the chase and making it be terrified? 😑
@@katiemckinney9456 yes, because they are literally a horror movie villain
I love how Manly's consistent response to the fly's shock and horror is just, "They're _frogs."_
Honestly it is hilarious they are willing to eat meat pie but then the fly goes "you're carnivorous???!?!" It reminds me so much of the kissing homies with your socks on meme lol
Flies are omnivores, I think. But I guess eating sapient animals is taboo in that universe which is what the fly was referring to?
@@avacadotoast5571 If the flies are sapient, what wouldn't be sapient? Maybe dead animals are fair game for flies, but they didn't realize "carnivores" actively kill their food.
@@jonquilgemstone I'm not sure. Maybe there are sapient and nonsapient versions of the animals?
@@avacadotoast5571 that's where it starts to get a little confusing
Meat pies are sometimes made from fruit meat. So the flies could have thought it was made of fruit.
This fly is too nice for his own good I wouldn't have called the ambulance for anyone who tried to kill me.
Well you could make sure that guy rots in prison, by calling the ambulance he actually can get into prison
@@theradiantbeast3478 I mean the fly could’ve just called the police and dipped, dunno why they called an ambulance first
I'm more of a "make them suffer like I did" kinda gal.
@@Blandopinion me too
@@Blandopinion same
Cute but "not" secretly a horror game "but definitely" a horror game is my favorite horror videogame genera.
1:50
I agree, Sweeney Todd kinda started or at least, popularized the whole "cannibalistic restaurant" trope. The kawaii cutesy aesthetics were integrated into the horror game formula to give you a greater shock as the story takes a darker turn.
I don't think it started, since there are stories of people doing the whole "cannibalistic restaurant" thing since ancient rome.
People just really like making food out of other humans and feeding it to unsuspecting costumers, l guess
👍❤❤❤
@@Naharu. they mean Sweeney Todd popularized it as a TROPE. for games and movies. A TROPE, NOT HISTORY
and he also said popularized not created, so you managed to get two things wrong in a single comment.
Does make me think that I'd be interesting to set up some sort of twist with this set up being common now
Like the baker being innocent and the customer being the serial killer
@@lh776 I remember Courage the Cowardly Dog doing a subversion of this trope but with a burger place instead of a bakery.
The frog looks like a very distinguished gentleman. Surely, he isn't doing any horrible or possibly immoral acts in this cute playthrough!
edit: i wrote this comment before watching the video lol so dw you don't need to argue morality in the comments with me
And I hope our protagonist gets to see the customers again after having their first visit to this delightful looking cafe!
To be fair, they are frogs, and flies aren't usually above catabolism.
the frogs look cute- but a murderer I suppose-
Yes. Because the animals in cafes are never in danger.😂
Well its the normal food chain so its not exactly horrible, just off-putting
My goodness. The fly is too good for this world. Going into a frog cafe giving it the benefit of the doubt? It could never be me. I'm too skeptical and apparently, rightfully so🤣
Exactly.
ha yes, he seems like a pretty fly for a fly guy.
@@Ch50304 ahhh. Nice reference 😌
@@jessxpop thanks for noticing.
@@Ch50304 I had to! I would dare to say it's a classic
"Oh my stars... I just had the best idea ever for my book!"
It's a horror novel!
...and *then* a thriller!
this is like me going to a cafe called serial killer.
We will be open next year 💚
I honestly missed Manly's long gameplay. I really loved Manly's way of reading the dialogue, it feels like a really soothing storyteller. Wish there were new horror titles that require multiple playthroughs like Omori, needy streamer overdose, or even some older ones like Purgatory.
honestly that is me w the mr tomato/mrs lemons games! am sad that manly hasnt released the final video of mrs lemons he was talking about
He always does longform
problem is, some games are just short XD so yeah most are 15-25min long vids
He does hour long every so often still though lol
to be fair to manly he did literally just upload mr hopp 3 like 2 days ago and that was more than an hour and a half
@@BlueBlur103S I mean the ones that needed more than just one part, like Omori for example
@@BlueBlur103S right XD at least one every seven videos or so is at least 1hr long and he uploads almost daily XD
I really like the way the fly characters' wings drape over them like cloaks. I'm always a sucker for cloaks
Why is it always cutesy pastry shops with meat pies? I've never even been to a cafe that serves meat pies... it's getting too obvious, I want to see cutesy hardware stores where people get turned into insulation fiber or something.
I think the creators just like cafes. I do too. Artists shouldn't be exempted from doing something just cause others do it. Also, I have seen that many cafe horror. Just maybe this, Bonnie, and Sweeney Todd. And I mean horror or the story relating to the cafe. Not just ones that take place a bit in a cafe that could've taken place anywhere else.
Cafes can serve anything. Including foods with meat. People getting turned into insulation fiber makes less sense that's why people may not use that idea. There are stories of people getting turned into dolls.
Man I hope nothing happens to my cute fly friend in this frog cafe! :))
No one could ever want to hurt such a cute fly friend right?
14:43 Frog: "Well aren't you full of surprises? And how did I miss the moment when you picked up that lovey toy of yours?
Fly: "Perhaps you're too busy being a maniacal psychopath?!"
Good comeback.
15:29 I kinda like the ending of the fly calling a ambulance for the frog cause he doesn't want to kill someone. Not like the frog can do harm now.
19:18 Manly singing like Kermit.
👍💖💖💖
Manly singing like kermit.
the art style is giving courage the cowardly dog with the frogs hands and the body proportions i love it
I knew it reminded me of something lol
YES IT REMINDS ME OF IT SO MUCH
Anyone else watches manly's videos before bed? His voice is so soothing, calm and completely lacking any trace of emotions like my soul
That's true
Same
All the time now. Very soothing :)
Before work and after work, which for me counts as before bed. Its the best
This one’s actually pretty good. I really enjoyed cutesy aesthetic and it’s cool your playing it.
Hmm, you know the funny thing about the "bad ending?"
...
... (spoiler) ...
...
By letting the fly/protag go back into the back room, he can easily go grab the knife, so, yeah.
Ok I gotta admit the main fly character’s design speaks to me in some sorta way. They look so cute…
I kinda just wanna draw them
Is actually a guy
@@momogeto
I figured! But I just wanted to play it safe until I knew for sure :]
"Here where you get to witness a Fly turn YOLO from internet speak, into an actual lifestyle choice!"
The fly:
Fly ❌
Run ✅
omg i just realized that 😮
Lol, what if this is a spiritual successor to that one frog horror game Manly played a while ago, the one where invasive, mutant jellyfishes possess frogs? This could be like if the frogs became twisted and jaded after that ordeal
"They Breathe" is the game you're thinking of
We love to see it whenever a protagonist in one of these games also shares a similar scarf to Manly (albeit in green this time)
surprised there's "no flys to honey" joke , instead of nectar. also, flys will also eat anything. dead bodies, poop, as well as sweats.
Watching this channel has led me to realize just how large the horror game community is. It's been more than 8 years and he still hasn't run out of horror games.
Horror games are everywhere... Even in a secretly cannibalistic cafe/restaurant
I like the fact that the protagonist calls an ambulance. It still feels off that the butcher frog didn't have any weapon with him, and how he kinda accepts the ambulance, but it's a gamejam game, so I see no issue with that.
past game "cuphead" two frogs in the boat all insects...
I swear, whenever there's cute characters, there's always blood and gore involved in a Manly Senpai vid. And here I thought Happy Tree Friends was the only thing that had gore in it. Well, boy was I wrong
I'm 10 seconds and I already know what's going to happen to the fly
"When do you go to sleep?"
"Oh, usually around 4 in the morning..."
Me, watching this at 4 in the morning...>x>
Protag: 3:04
Manly: “You monster”
A man of flavor I see.
Just another reason to love Manly. Mint ice cream, mint milk shakes, peppermint patties, mint candy canes, spearmint tea, mint filled chocolate bars, peppermint bark, etc. Top tier sweets.
I agree with Manley on that,Mint stuff be lit fr fr🤤
I honestly think this game could be expanded a little to include more on the other frogs in the café. The fly says it themself--these frogs are carnivores, they *have* to eat meat or they'll starve. It's easy to make the carnivorous animals evil, but quite frankly it's more interesting if they're more nuanced. What it's like, living in a world where just surviving makes you a murderer? What else can you do? What do these waiters feel, knowing the food they're eating used to be someone they were laughing with hours ago? One fly says they come here *every day*, the frogs are bound to get a little attached to them. Do they feel sad, knowing they'll never see their regular again? Or is it more a twisted joy, making their favorite little customer part of their meal?
Zootopia and Beastars are excellent examples of a more nuanced take on predator-prey dynamics in sapient animals, but I would also like to see that sort of story in this kind of setting, too. There's eating people who are strangers to you, and then there's eating people who you've formed a real bond with. There's having an uncontrollable urge to eat meat...and then there's deliberately setting up a trap to harvest your customers.
Oh boy, this is like all of those dumb characters in the horror movies that go into a house that is definitely not haunted which is probably the point lol the aesthetics are so not worth being frog food
This is a different world where they're humanoids. There could be a story written like this where they get along too.
To be completely fair to the fly dude, he didn't know what a Venus Flytrap was OR that frogs ate flies, lol
"Step into my parlor" Said the spider to the fly.
"They're frooogs." - Manly 🤣
I love your voice so much❤ currently falling asleep rn to if bc its so calming to me ty ManlyBadassHero been helping me sleep for about 4 years now thank you so much 😊
11:51
How many breads have you eaten in your life, fly?
Love that he starts singing at the end ‘why are there so many flies in my meat pie? When will we find it? The Venus flytrap connection? The dead flies lovers and me?’ Alcbebcigjsb
I completely did not expect that and it was glorious.
Yay LÖC
I’m going to be honest…
this has romance potential
Despite simple and obvious, this game got its charm, the flies here are ironically cute but in real life I want 'em gone.
I LOVE THE GRPAHICS OMG
Anyone gonna talk abt the chef frog doing the Family Guy death pose??
17:10
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To bring before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money.
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
And shortly after that,
There came a little wren,
As she sat upon a chair,
And put it on again.
My grannie had a big ol' book of nursery rhymes and stories she'd read to my brother and I when we were younger, I always remembered the song of sixpence due to how odd it was compared to the other stories, that and Little Jack Horner
I really liked the fly protag. He seems cool...but come on man. Meat pies with frog chefs. Danger alarm. (Hope you win the game jam, dev!)
Oh hey, thanks! There is no award in this game jam actually, we're all just doing it for fun.
as much as i like this trope, it feels like it’s kinda being beat to death without adding much of anything unique to spice it up. there’s only so many times you can have a cutesy cafe that kills and serves people lol
im sorry, all I could think when the butcher was talking was "Oh you rascal you got me monologueing."
i blame manly's psycho-frog-voice for making the scenario oddly potentially sexual in nature.
5:05 huh, wasn’t expecting the British angel cake- that’s one of my favourites!
Bonnie: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
10:30
oh, SUDDENLY he can see well in the darkness, huh?
Funny how the frog fell in the family guy death pose after being stabbed
Slightly unrelated but I like the fly trap plants used as decoration when the customers are basically all insects. Since they exude a scent to attract them. (Edit, nevermind, around 11:40 it ties in)
Cute graphic but I feel like the story was way too short and perhaps rushed.
Makes sense since it was for a gamejam
@@mothgirl0512 Yeah, I hope the creator(s) will continue developing the game after the jam tho, I really like the protagonist.
@@Dummy576 I hope for the same thing, tbh I also love how sadistic they made the frog
I literally have never thought that a fly can be so adorable
Aww what a cute art stytle, no way this can go horribly wrong :)
Any kid could say “this game looks normal.” Well, until they see the truth behind all those treats the frogs make; and then they be like “WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!”
this fly has lived 1,512 times a fly’s normal lifespan :)
The real horror here comes from imagining Rain made of Maple Syrup.....sticky
Oh ya frogs will try to shove anything into their mouths with zero thought. If it exists, it's going in their mouths
Except plants?
@@user-gu9yq5sj7c honestly? I'm sure they'd try
@@user-gu9yq5sj7c Excluding a few species frogs are generalist carnivores, and the frogs that do eat plants are omnivorous.
Why is it that every door locks from the outside in a horror game? Like no door that ever existed outside a jail cell?
Aren't most doors locked either way?
Hey who knows maybe they did get that kind of lock
lesson here is protect yourself because most of the time police aren't gonna get there in time.
That's in a lot of games. Like RE7 with Ethan Winters. A cop was killed in front of him too. Not always reliable.
Yeah i hate when i tresspass on someones property looking for my missing wife and the crazy tenants murder the local sheriff...happened 4 times so far.
police can only act *after* a crime is committed, which is one of the inherently stupid things about law-enforcement
@@StickySauce101 That's not entirely true Intent and purpose can get you arrested before anyone has to be hurt or die That's why theirs such a thing as attempted murder and malicious intent in law.
İ wish games like these had fandoms
4:22
The neat thing is, the frog lady isn't even lying. The Venus Flytrap *does* attract flies by producing a very sweet nectar. She's just conveniently leaving out what they attract them FOR...
1:29 ima say it right now. That scarf (even though its not pink) and those glasses (even if they aren't green) along with the expression, really remind me of Ralsei
Support your local cafe with your corpse!
i will admit, when the frog said something about opening a few more doors i was hoping for more gameplay, maybe some survival horror stuff. but i like the cliffhanger ending too!
I'm a frog.
Bark.
Can’t wait for Jan to react and insult every slight inaccuracy!
Who's Jan?
I died laughing at Manly's Kermit song
If you look at the credits, you'll see Kevin Macleod (he's the one who created Monkeys Spinning Monkeys and all that kind of music)
The royalty-free music guy?
@@SonicLoverDS Yes.
Nice! He also did the Adventure Line™ music from The Stanley Parable (I think).
@@micaelan.4212 That's pretty cool!
9:19
It's called a "5 Finger Discount", mr Fly dude
I love the graphics for this, wish it was longer.
“Hello? 911? I need an ambulance for the frog I stabbed. Why? Because he’s a serial killer… what? No! I need an ambulance first then police! It must be in that order for dramatic implications!”
“What a lovely little cafe, I guess the staff doesn’t serve snakes here though. Only flies it seems.”
7:42
What an awful rain, for once I would run away from rain and use an umbrella.
Gotta admit, a vision of maple syrup rain is kinda disturbing
it's always nice to hear "Chase Pulse" being used in a horror game. that music is genuinely unnerving.
Manly really releasing a video 20 minutes before midnight. W Content Creator.
What does the w stand for?
@@spongebobsexypants well, it's like win or lose. People simply use it to identify a based and cool scenario/person.
@@majoraswrath2645 ok thank you.
2:23 I've never related to a fly more in my life. Extroverts ARE weird.
these are so anime-ish. I love it.
3:50 AHAHAHHAHAAHA "*CATCH* DIABETES" WHO MADE THIS 🤣🤣
moi
@@jigsawfeeling 🤭
the good ending was actually so sweet :] no pun intended X3
Which ending was the good ending? They both looked pretty bad.
@@SonicLoverDS the one where the fly calls the ambulance and police
1:03 funny thing is the fact that the fly we play as is 27, but the common house fly (assuming that is what fly is) only lives for 28 days.
My black little soul loves a good mixture of dark and cute.
