- I'm finally back and so of course I decided to play a nice relaxing game where you staple squirrels to your formerly alive wife! Lovely! Made by the same guy that made Iron Lung.

I love how every play through I’ve seen of this game, everyone who plays instantly becomes just deadly serious and freaked out the moment the *GOD IS COMING* chant begins.
I mean, everyone would be if out of nowhere, you heard freaking angel chants coming from the sky, increasingly getting louder 🙃
It’s such a perfect, hair-raising concerto of panic. There’s been little noise, no music, and the only thing to cause noise is the player within the entire game, until that last part.
@@kexard Surely there's an art to this sort of thing. Related, there's a robbery gone wrong movie called "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) and it has *no music in it whatsoever* except for the intro, one jukebox scene, and the outro. No ambient music, mostly nothing else but dialogue, gunshots, maybe a few engines and a cutting torch sound.
Because there's no music at all except in those spots, the Jukebox Scene is a highlight, but I often ask myself why. I keep thinking the movie's just a way of showing a world full of emptiness in crime. But the old man gave the teenagers some jukebox money, so I wonder if maybe the idea is that he saw and finally understood something other than what he talked about doing, which would have been perving on young women, as he probably intended to do when he gave jukebox money. Though at the same time, the music might just have been a way of catching himself. He was on the run, and was caught just outside that diner. He'd have gotten away if he left immediately, instead of staying to watch a teenage girl dance to the jukebox music.

I like to think Amy is somewhere in their house, minding her own business and will just randomly hear Mark yell “SQUIRREL!”
Ok
I think she is used to it by now.
Prolly thinking "Either it's a game or he's hanging out with Chica."
"My name is Dug, I have just met you and I love you- SQUIRREL!!"
I feel like she must be used to that kind of thing
Iv never seen somebody so brazenly stare down a weeping angel and immediately turn their back to it without a second thought
What that ol thing nah its docile as a puppy
Same 😭
Omfg ik right, even the doctor wouldn't turn his back
wut?
I too agree with this, at first I thought he didn't know what it was but I remember him playing a game with them. And so.. Welcome Back To Another Episode of, MARK BEING FUNNY
I like how Mark spent twice the usual time to play this game but somehow managed to miss the entire story about the witch
The witch??
Mate elaborate please
Mark is amazing at "somehow" always missing a huge area of a game, despite playing it thoroughly. Every time lol
@@matohunter3564 there's a story at the signal tower about a man who bought a paint brush which supposedly had the hairs of a beautiful lady, but was scammed, so he painted what he thought the lady would have looked like with that paintbrush. Then a witch helped him turn the painting alive but since its a waist up painting, the lady only had the top half of her body and was screaming and stuff. The man had to mercy kill the girl with an axe, and then they made a stew with the girl's corpse and both died because it was poisoned. Kinda an abrupt ending
@@theblackunicorn261 German fairy tales be like
Gotta say, mark flexing that he can de-bone a squirrel in under 3 minutes, comparably to a squirrels ability to de-bone a male human in under 3 hours is my favorite part
Hold on- SQUIRRELS CAN DO WHAT NOW??!
@@Froggycolouringmy thoughts exactly
“Ground me if you want, mom. Nothing you do will de-bone the thanksgiving turkey”
"i'm sorry, is.... is THAT the guy who can de-bone a squirrel in under 3 minutes??? 😍"
*mininutes
Mark: “I’m not a masochist”
Walks into bad circle after it hurts him multiple times
he is also a liar

"I don't always make mistakes, but when I do, I make them twice just to be sure."
As a hunter i can say that this is totally accurate depiction of us. We do be stapling squirrels to our loved ones.
It’s pretty nice to have some actual representation for once!!
yes
yea
dont forget we also accidentally discharge our firearms into the ground when we arnt sure its loaded....
I don't hunt, and I do that all the time
"My wife needs stapled squirrels" is the best line out of context I've ever heard.
omg joe man you like markiplier too? dope dude!! good to see you again lol
bro it doesn’t even make sense in context
At this point knowing it was was mark saying it, dosent make it weird anymore lol
@@EEEEEEEE e... ☹️

"Aww, baby, did you gain five squirrels?" freaking sent me. 😂
keep in mind that somewhere out there is an alternate universe where markiplier made a squirrel stapler movie.
NGL, I would love to see that movie, but only if Ethan plays the wife.
"Your squirrel call is freaking out my chinchilla." has been added to the list of things I didn't expect to say today.
My rabbit feels the same way
@@DismemberedHat My cat too woof woof
My chicks too lol (keeping baby chickens in my house atm)
My chinchilla didnt care bc he only beefs with my vacuum
well, the squirrel call sounds like a Corbeau howling danger. So due to this comment, I had to look up chinchilla sounds to guess what it sounds similar to; Firstly I understand why you have one as your pet, secondly it sounds somewhat like a child to mother, so it may be confused with that or another animal calling danger depends on what kind of "freaking out" actions took place. I'll see for a rabbit, as I have 2 killer rabbits home with me { referring to how they look in minecraft, I am not aware if they have a name. }
Markiplier the King of the Squirrels, now uses his loyal subjects as a sacrifice for his beloved. How sweet.
👑🐿He is back!!!🐿👑
In the end, he got rid of the false "God of the Squirrels" and asserted his dominance. That is all this game turned out to be.
Wonder how many people remember that bit lol
@@srenagade7133 never saw the bit but I always knew the title king of squirrels alongside king of fnaf
@@davesmith4084 Same tho
I think Mark is the only person I've ever seen with the reaction time and movement to whip around and shoot the squirrel god thing
Fr like why is no one acknowledging that reflex speed
The build up to that last scare is so perfect. It made me jump when I played it and still made me jump watching this and knowing what was about to happen.
Does anything happens if you don’t shoot the squirrel God at the end?
@@grantcoolguy The game abruptly ends regardless
@@grantcoolguy The ending stays the same, except you lose 1500 score if you shoot God
@@bryanp7831 what happens if you don't look at god?
The thing that makes Mark an awesome horror game youtuber is that he just goes with the plot. "I must staple squirrels to my wife to rejuvenate her" and he is just like "I must be mad, but let's do just that!"
Most of the time I guess, yeah.
Which We all love
He gets into character lol.
Lol
I think it's mostly a joke but ok yeah lol
Anyone else remember Mark calling himself King of the Squirrels? Oh how the mighty have fallen. Now he's killing them.
Now he's the Tyrant of the Squirrels
I was waiting all video for a reference to this. Really sad that it never got referenced.
Welllll...historically, Kings have often killed their own subjects.
What’s a king to a god
@@kdaunii7070 and what is a god to a nonbeliever!
Is any one else honestly impressed by how Mark can not only identify a squirrel by just like 5 pixels but also accurately shoot them?
To be fair he has a VERY big monitor
He is the King of Squirrels after all
@@cupriferouscatalyst3708 isn't a very big monitor bad tho? makes your screen all wider and stuff is hard to see
@@motafu1not really, trust me
@@motafu1 idk much about computer but I think pixel count affects it? like yeah a big monitor with a low pixel count with looks like shit but there's very good monitors nowadays and I wouldn't doubt mark has spent big money on his pc
I'll always love how one of Mark's reactions to weird sudden noises is asking "What do you mean?"
mark: *gets hurt by weird circle*
mark: *goes back in*
also mark: i'm not a masochist guys
Well he just wants to see how much his body can handle!! Nothing else!!!! I promise!!!!!!

@@Comicalstupid 😀 Excuse me a W H A T
i love how it’s not even stapling the squirrel pelts, it’s just the whole ass squirrel
for such an absurd core concept, this was incredibly well-done. day 5 of this gives me the same kind of creeps A HOUSE IN THE OCEAN from Mister Manticore does, and i love it
Not exactly the game I expected for his return, but it’s a very on-brand move for Mark
What is more Markiplier than an indie horror game?
its made by the same guy that made iron lung, so expected a bit i guess
He is the king of squirrels after all
never expect anything
Same, but it was a horror game nonetheless. He probably wanted to play it out of respect for the guy who made the movie
the squirrel god just showing up in the last minute jumpscared me more than any of mark or lixian's attempts in the scary games videos
,,Ancient eldritch squirrel" O_O
“MANKEY”(pokemon lookin squeewaal)
The thing is their scares are usually pretty predictable/expected. I think I got got once during a three scary games, but I can't remember which one 😅
@@pjesmile was it the one that was snow themed? In a small hut, surrounded by a snowy forest or something?
I dont know why, but it probably gave me the worst jump scare I have ever had in any of Mark's videos.
honestly, the last three minutes of Squirrel Stapler is some of the best horror ever seen in basically any medium
Man I love how the beginning of this video was Mark talking about how everyone was saying how life changing this game is and he missed pretty much all of the lore and was just like "Welp!".
love how easily and violently markiplier will swing in and out of character while playing games
Glad to see Markiplier King of the Squirrels ruling over his squirrel subjects once again.
the lack of peanut butter in this video is killing me
I was like: I thought he was the king of squirrels..
I see him as no king of mine
@@Tangarisupokemon don't count

The fact that I haven't seen anyone mention Mark's incredible ability to spot the squirrels is *nuts* 🥜
Ironically that nut emoji looks like a squirrel standing upright🐿
Hahaha
Mark: presses play
Squirrel stapler: *come on baby, don’t fear the reaper*
I gave my wife the squarcass treatment and she absolutely LOVED it! The rejuvenating oils of a squirrel's pelt did wonders for her skin! It's incredible the kind of nutrients a squirrel's antenna can absorb while rummaging around in the dirt. Plus all the urine haha! It did cost an arm and a leg, but luckily the squirrel's regenerative abilities have us covered!

@@distracteddingo he needs to keep them in line
@@simplyhere9887 ok fair enough
Loving your pfp lol
Based on my analysis of the story of the game, the painted lady story is a sort of metaphor about the main character, who is already insane and is rationalizing for murdering his own wife and covering her corpse with the carcasses of squirrels that the main character hunted to make her look "beautiful" and pretend that his wife is still alive. Just like what was written in the painted lady story about "the stew being poison" and "art will eventually destroy the artist", the man has been hallucinating and died after eating the squirrels that died near his home from poison. All in all, the game is ominous and eerie. As always, brilliant work by David Szymanski in developing and making Squirrel Stapler.
The sheer amount Mark is missing during this playthrough is killing me
I love how in a collective game box with games such as squirrel stapler, there’s things like “sucker for love.”
Completely opposite games but similar in a way
@@syppie6510 eldrich horrors?
Have you seen the new game in that series, Manly already played the latest demo.
ManlyBadassHero is way better than Marikiplier as far as games played, when the games were played (usually immediately), and accurate thoughts.
@@MattIsTheCat literally no one cares
I can't help but imagine Amy sitting somewhere in the house, hearing Mark yelling from the other room "SQUIRREL!!!" over and over again.
... and just shrugging since this is simply another normal day in her life with Markiplier.
pray she does not become adorned in squirrels
Maybe one day she'll just be like 'fuck it' and then morph into a squirrel
I just woke up I'm not entirely in the right mindset rn
And Chica 😂
She takes Chica back from a walk and hears mark screaming SQUIRRELS
Then she sees run out of the room with peanut butter on his face screaming I’m king of the squirrels
that first ghost squirrel got me so good i almost threw my phone in the air 💀
“Squirrels regenerate lost limbs?” is gonna hit an all time high on Google after this video
yea, the squirrel facts are just other animal facts advertised as squirrel facts right?
cuz if memory serves, the one about urine coming from under the eyes is actually a thing with lobsters
Lol
That's an axolotl fact lol
My dog must’ve heard Mark say “squirrel” so she brought me her squirrel toy
that is the cutest thing
Omg your dog is wonderful
What a good boy
the squirrels are always watching
Askers? 💀
I am a squirrelologist and i can confirm every squirrel fact in this game was accurate.
ah, a fellow squirrel-head
i am too and i agree
So they really can de-bone a human male in less than 3 hours? Interesting...
THEY FR PEE ON EACHOTHER FROM THEIR EYES TO COMMUNICATE⁉️
squirrel are always watching
so, then.. are we just never going to discuss how mark broke the fucking sound barrier at 21:42 and never addressed it even slightly?
Yeah the ending of Squirrel Stapler is pretty creepy. Seeing “God is coming” and the countdown timer and the chanting makes me panic lol
GOD IS HERE 🐿
I love marks ability to fuck up every jumpscare in every game
Mark: this is the saddest kitchen I’ve ever seen
Also Mark: I AM A MAN WHO OWNS 5 OVENS!
Well statistically speaking you're 5 times more likely to fall off a ladder than to die from an oven. So that's why he has 5 ovens in case some maniac attacks him with a ladder.
didn't he move or get rid of some of the ovens? I remember he said he didn't have 5 anymore
@@Mizu-AM I think he moved.

@@stylesrj nice grunkle Stan reference
The genuine fear when they were singing “GOD IS COMING” is hilarious
Markiplier good timing. I know this comment will get lost in the void here but I just gotta say that I am glad you are back. My mother passed away very recently and watching TH-cam is a good distraction at the end of the day when there’s nothing left to do. So I just wanna say glad that you’re back, can’t wait for iron lung. Also another thing, I saw a clip of you talking on a podcast about that Kurzehgstat or however you spell it about but you talked about spending 90% of your time with your parents by the time you are 18. Well I’m 20 so that helped a bit. But regardless all I wanted to do was tell you thanks for that and glad you’re back. Peace.
My condolences for your loss🙏💖
I’m sorry for your loss friend ❤
Hope you hold up alright, keep your head up
Your doing great, I’m sorry for your loss
My Condolences to you bro..
i love how the First game he plays when he comes back is just "squirrel stapler"
It's made by the guy who made Iron Lung, so it makes sense :)
Squirrel Stapler sounds like it could be the weirder sidekick of Dog Welder

Bro the ending actually sent shivers down my spine just from pure stimulus overload
mark trying to pronounce polish surnames is the best thing ever
he should be try Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz

I will be taking this 😂
I dont get how you can take a quote? WIll it be yours. , you cant copyright a quote last time I checked buddy. Think before you comment. It it also not natural to die in this way.

41:58 Atheist when they go to church for the first time.
How many years I have been watching Mark's videos and no jumpscare has gotten me... and then that goddamn ghost squirrel had to come along and ruin EVERYTHING.
Fr
It was squirrel god for me 😅
Yes for whatever reason that one made you feel like 10000 volts had been sent through my spine
Also the hooded man in the door frame which just him suggesting that someone was there made me jump but when I actually saw the man I just felt sad that it had taken me 5 minutes
For some reason calling a squirrel's sound a "squonk" make me laugh so much
the best part is I'm pretty sure that's scientifically what they are called
I'm glad David Szymanski chanting "Squirrel Stapler" and "Chop Goblins" at Mark during filming have worked even with just one of them.
I honestly love this game and I’m glad Mark played it, it’s such a weird horror game and I adore how strange it is
Those squirrels sure we're stapled. Congrats on getting your squirrel stapling license, Mark.

@@ammarsyed i hope you are joking
What I find funny is he says he isn't scared of the squirrel god and I'm like "that's because he's king of the squirrels"
This reminds me of my cousin Jack who has an irrational fear of squirrels. He says they're always watching and can attack at any time. Even in an apocalyptic scenario, from nuclear to flooding, they will survive and therefore have a grudge against humanity
I'm going to be honest... I wasn't expecting that ending. I thought something else would pop up in the end, but welp... It certainly made me jump. This was a creepy, yet interesting game. I never thought hunting squirrels would literally come back to bite you in the bum. Awesome video!
💖💖💖
this game made by the same dude who made Iron Lung, hence the similarity with the ending
@@nagabe6394 Oh, that part I understand completely. What threw me off a bit at the end was that I was expecting something else to greet the man.
*Spoiler*
I thought it was going to be his dead wife or something. I based that off of the note that 'she' left him about not wanting the squirrel skin and wanting hers back, but If her husband didn't give the skin back to her, she wanted his instead.
The ending was quite spooky in the end, so that's all that matters.
“And so I will cover her….in the…..squirrels of the wood” hahahahahaha those pauses made me laugh so hard
thank you for joining markipliers channel subscription
@@Wanwood2 why are you thanking me? Lol
29:48 I NEED MORE BOOLETS
Am I living in an alternate reality where he hasn’t played squirrel stapler before? Like I feel like I’ve seen him play this before
Literally immediately before Mark asks "...is that a squirrel ghost?" I thought to myself
"...why he got a healthbar tho..."
I've been dying for Mark to play this game, and I didn't even know the dude who made this also made Iron Lung. The guy is a goated developer.
The note "Be careful rifle noise travels far"
Mark:💥💥💥💥💥
"I wish she were beautiful, like the squirrels of the wood. And so I will cover her like the squirrels of the wood." This is flawless logic.
That chanting at the end made my whole body go cold. Felt like something was squeezing my lungs. Weird how something so bizarre can be so scary lol
It’s scary because it’s bizarre. It doesn’t make sense. One’s mind can’t wrap itself around it so it keeps trying. The countdown forces your mind to try harder and break a little more. It really feels like the cosmic horror genre to me.
That's what you hear before you D I E
@@onedova2298 Have you died before?
You could say, something was squeezing my "Iron Lungs"
15:56 right after he mentions iron lung, he finds a structure that looks exactly like one of the points of interest with the giant teeth circle thing in iron lung. Does no one else notice this?
No I did not, wonder if it's a hint or some kind of ARG type thing
The rancid blood of the disgraced forest kin stains the world, floods it. The sins of predecessors makes headway for the tragedy of their descendants.
in other words, wouldn't it be really funny if this was a prequel (despite iron lung taking place on a moon)

@@BluZombie wasn't earth also turned into something like a blood moon? Or it disappeared
@flaminggaming1287 I thought the plot of Iron Lung was that all inhabitable planets just.. vanished
All the facts in this game about squirrels are all very true and yummy.
But the growing limbs one is false
I think some are false
@@kaitlando636 nuh uh
I fell asleep to this video and it was so bizarre. I always forget that sometimes the things you hear irl can happen in your dreams. I remember I was in some plaza and there was a Starbucks, and all I remember otherwise is this dad and his son and the son was playing on a tablet or some other device and it was like full blast volume, “BANG” and just loud noises and such coming from the tablet. All until I woke up and saw this video again lol
"oh wife you're looking so beautiful maybe more beautiful than before!!! did you gain five squirrels?!" i lost my mind at that
Any game where Mark can scream SQUIRREL as frequently and loudly as he wants while being able to deduce some parasocial or metaphorical meaning is the perfect game for him
He's come a longggg way from smearing peanut butter on his face and hearing them call to him... Or maybe he is exactly the same...? lmao
Chica on the other side of the door freaking out cuz she can't find the squirrels.
The expression and noise he makes after saying the word" pooky bear"
Has me rolling😂
I think you were right about this game changing lives bc I haven't been able to stop thinking about it
Games that start off so quietly and slowly progress into madness are some of the best games, I swear. They just lure you into a false sense of security, making jumpscares 10x better, no matter how cheesy it might be
There's even a side story that gets gradually more gruesome, but then abruptly ends, making you unsure if there's actually something else scary going to happen (which Mark missed btw)
The fact that Lixian actually put something in the doorway at
18:35 so mark wouldn't seem crazy
i dont think he did
@@deletodraw1944 bottom left on the first look is two beady eyes and a smile, kinda like the squirrel god
@@coolcatkcs It took me far too many tries to see that, and in the end had to go frame by frame. Graphic blur makes it hard to tell if anything is really there or just a visual quirk of rendering. There is just one frame at the 37 second mark for anyone wanting to see it. Directly below Mark and kind of hard to make out if not looking for it.
Of course, the real question is did Lixian do it or was it already there?
I don't see anything, am I immune?
@@ZarvainLixian put it there, the way it moves and how it fades away means it was edited in
Also looks like a scary smile I've seen before on the Internet.
29:01 Pretty much the only mention of DUSK in Mark's entire channel.
42:38 guys I think god is here
I don't know why I expected him to do sensible thing of stapling the squirrel skins to his beloved, and not the whole squirrel 😂😅
Everyone: "Play Cooking Companions! Play Amanda the Adventurer!"
markiplier: "Squirrel Stapler"
He made the right choice.
Common Mark W
didnt he play this game before. seems very familiar
mark: i played a game by david szymanski and it was good now i'm too busy filming the movie to make videos
also mark: I HAVE RETURNED SO I CAN PLAY ANOTHER GAME BY DAVID SZYMANSKI
we want mark to play the games that manly played
the squirrel noise he was making at 13:01 was making my dog look around 😂
Mark had the chance to say
"Be very quiet, we're hunting SQUIRRELS"
with these kinds of games it's not the actual jumpscare that does it, it's the dread, that feeling that you know one's gonna happen soon
its the same with iron lung, the whole game is basically just increasing the tension until it let's it all out with a creepy jumpscare at the end. the problem with these games though is that they really only work on you once or twice because after the first playthrough, you know it's coming so it becomes less effective.
Hence the name, dread X
After watching a couple times, you realize the jumpscare at the end is as cheap as it can get, and the build up is what actually makes it scary, but it does it immaculately. Besides the great sound design and pacing of the finale, I think the rest of the game’s progression from knowing the protag is crazy from the start, peaceful and continuous hunting, and knowingly angering forces more unnatural than you makes the ending more dreadful.
It's interesting how you can interpret the game as a spiral to insanity, with Manly and his dead wife (whom he most likely killed for his insane artistic goal, as indicated in the weird note story) and hunted down squirrels, for no reason? And made the forest god sngry (the one who was most likely writing the notes )
Now THIS needs a movie. Squirrel stapler on the big screen.
The king of the squirrels culling a rival army
i love the absolute horror everyone experiences when the discordant choir starts chanting "GOD IS HERE." def my favorite part of the game
As an aspiring game dev this is exactly the kind of horror I want to produce. Stuff so RIDICULOUSLY terrifying it fills you with utter fear from the sheer idea of the game. That end was amazing. The terror it elicited was palpable
Is this sarcasm? The entire game was almost comically absurd with its weird obsession of squirrels and then it just ends, I feel like it was supposed to be a joke game. Don't get me wrong, if you want to make a game like this go for it there's a genre for everything, but I didn't feel the terror
you got the smallest balls if u think this was scary
Fr, I love it was about Shub-Slur dude because every single horror game about Lovecraft usually focuses on Cthulhu or Dagon rather than the many other elder gods
@@EveTater I would first like to say that your opinion is different from others. Second, I did feel a sense of growing dread and terror throughout the game. Now I don't know a whole lot about proper game design like this (although I hope to one day), I feel that while it was pretty comedic in its obsession, it unnerved me a lot. Especially when the "wife" moved at the end of the 3rd day.
@@colewegner7576 very true, the game goes for a very specific type of horror the best i can describe it would be
"slow burn, lovecraftian" while the game is still quite funny(like how the squirrels dont have animations and just float) but this works in the games favour as it disarms you enough that when something unsetteling does happen like the wife moving and god it just ends up grabbing you a lot more. Now i do get where EveTater is coming from, not everyone is gonna find this game scary or even creepy for the people who enjoy combat or adrenaline pumping horror (resident evil and puppetcombo games being a good example for both) they won't find much value in a game like this but for people who like more slower, simple horror like slender or just a bit more of a psychological angle like silent hill this game delivers!
I’m so happy you’re back I’ve been dying to watch another horror themed game your hands down the best TH-camr I’ve been watching your videos since 2016. Thank you so much for doing what you do much appreciation ❤
the dread x games are so, so good. every collection has a couple stinkers, but they're all worth the price and have so many good games in them, Squirrel Stapler definitely being a highlight of the second entry
