I dont know how many of you noticed but the reason the friend says "Throw it back!" When you catch the right shoe is because the foot was still inside it.
Yeah because the uncle threw his daughter in the lake as offering, the shoes where hers. The skeleton they found ich the worm area was probably his wife.
You're able to get the great white in that last ending because the friend was given to the ocean god Sedna. It's mentioned in that note in the basement that sacrifices will give bountiful harvests
Manly!! Thank you so much for checking out our game, it's always a pleasure watching you play and it means so much to us that you give them a chance. Thanks for motivating us to make more and better games.
I don't know when you released the original version of this game but I remember seeing a playthrough years ago and I still vividly remember a lot of the stuff that happened in the game. You did a great job creating a scary and memorable game! Can't wait to see what's in store for the future
Sedna actually is a documented figure in Inuit folklore! Basically, her fingers became seals, walruses, and other sea life, giving people their food, and became immortal so her fingers can constantly fall off and grow back to constantly create new life. She's also credited for when little food is being caught, as a consequence of people not following certain rules or taboos. Sam O'nella made a video about Inuit myths, and that's where I first learned about Sedna. My favorite quote from her in said video immediately popped in my head once I heard her name: "That's it! No more fingie foods for three moons!"
I’m only familiar with Sedna from her inclusion in the Shin Megami Tensei games, among other obscure myths. She’s depicted with one eye for some reason, but they touch upon shamans swimming down to appease the goddess by combing her hair. Inuit folklore’s real interesting, a shame it isn’t looked at for inspiration more often

Species: Freshwater: Trout: these guys need cold, fast water to have enough oxygen. when the guy said the water was green, it meant it was growing algae and low in dissolved oxygen. Trout should probably be dead Bass: often found in big and small ponds with slow moving water Eels: Assuming its a freshwater river eel, It spends it's adult life in the freshwater rivers. However, they do migrate into the sargasso sea to spawn, where their larvae and various metamorphic forms that they grow through mature and return to the rivers. Frog: bullfrog Tadpole: smol frog Catfish: there are saltwater cats but that one looked like a Channel catfish with an elongated head and forward dorsal fin Shrimp: mainly saltwater, but many are freshwater. This couldve possibly been a tiger shrimp, a brackish water shrimp that is widely cultivated for food, youve probably eaten them if youve had shrimp Clam: many freshwater species, however as filter feeders they generally prefer where there is a current. Probably wont find any in a calm lake Betta: they live in marshes and flooded fields that are very low in dissolved oxygen. Due to this, they can actually breathe air using a labyrinth organ. Probably wont find them anywhere thats more than a foot deep and open Suckerfish: more commonly known as plecos, they are usually far longer than the one in the game. and because of the dorsal fin, i want to say a Hypostomus faveolus, or a honeycomb pleco Sponge: Believe it or not, even though sponges are generally seen as saltwater animals, there are freshwater species of Porifera (sponges)! Pike: Like the trout before, they prefer higher latitudes with colder waters. Very impressive ambush hunters and amazing game fish to fight on a line. Goldfish: This looks like a fancy goldfish, one bred to have weird shapes. They are a large eurasian carp that grows to be more than a foot long and up to 30 years old, and possible hold the record for the single most abused pet in the pet hobby. Saltwater: Stingray: you could make the argument it was a ray of the freshwater genus, however it clearly showed a pelagic ray, possibly a Mobula ray due to the cephalic fins on the front of its mouth. That or a really tiny manta ray Clownfish: Ocellaris or a Percula anemonefish, hard to tell without seeing the colours of its eyes and dorsal rays Sardine: pelagic saltwater species found in huge schools, this lake is magical Lobster: Large crustacean that lives in a wide variety of coastal waters, although because it is freshwater, it could possible be a crayfish, a smaller freshwater relative of the lobster Jellyfish: While there are freshwater jellyfish, this looks nothing like one. this looks to be of the sea nettle family. Maybe a black sea nettle? Unicornfish: decently large saltwater fish that like to hang around reefs, looks like a shortnose unicorn fish Pufferfish: most arent actually spiny, so this one being spiny tells us its a Porcupinefish, which is an entirely different family of fish Starfish: one again no freshwater species. Many different kinds with the average shape so i cant pin down a genus really Flounder: generally saltwater fish, they actually start their lives looking normal, and as they grow the eye moves to one side. There are freshwater kinds though, called Soles, although they are more distantly related Swordfish: Pelagic predatory fish, dont confuse it with the sailfish (larger sail like fin) and marlin (dorsal fin stretches down to its anal fins) Anglerfish: there are many kinds of shallow water anglerfish called Frogfish, but that is definitely a deep sea anglerfish Octopus: Once again not enough details to pin down a species, but a fun fact is that for an extremely intelligent animal, most of them live around 6 months. Blue tang: the infamous doryfish. More commonly known as a hippo tang, a member of the surgeonfish family. They are called so due to sharp, scalpel like spines on their sides at the base of the tail for defense. Oceanic sunfish: big pelagic fish, contrary to popular belief, they are actually quite adept at swimming fast. They simply float near the top in order to allow seabirds to peck off parasites. They are also the world's largest bony fish. Great white: what an interesting fish in a lake. Shark facts: sharks arent mean please stop demonizing them
I like how his reaction to a hand grabbing the bait is "hey! That's mine!" Like it's just a random diver stealing bait from people instead of a monster
@@coolball999 I mean it's certainly better than letting it get washed out to sea and become part of the trash build-up problem where it could harm the sea life. Who says the horrors lurking in the dark can't care about the environment?
a lake with a healthy ecosystem would have good diversity of animals, most things you would find in the ocean you can find in freshwater. sharks, rays, horrors, eels, dolphins, pufferfish, ancient inuit goddesses...all signs of a decently healthy lake!
@@JargonMadjin its pretty rare to find a lake that is not in some way connected to the ocean actually. like only a few hundred worldwide are endorheic (not connected to sea)
I can identify a surprising number of fish thanks to years of playing Animal Crossing. Totally shocked my Dad (who does fish) with my fish identification abilities…
The strange varieties of fish you catch are due to Sedna. Her whole thing is giving bountiful catches from fishing if she’s pleased, and since she’s a supernatural being, she doesn’t have to just make fish that are appropriate for the areas being fished (in this case, the lake). This explains why you catch things like lobsters, sharks, rays, and other things not typically found in lakes.
Something I wish the game had done more with is the real-in. Everytime you catch something, that brief pause between the "you caught" and showing what you got was tense but everytime it was a fish or simple object. I feel this could have been the best moment for something startling
Yeah for real that little hand animation at first actually got me to jump and I was waiting for: You caught... '???' followed by a mutilated fish and/or corpse
I was thinking the same thing like for the friend going alone ending you could’ve had like amazingly great catches and then your last catch you get the friends head or something
@@Hellooo134 yeah i swear i was convinced it would be his skull or arm or whatever i guess they chose to be more subtle w the whole sacrifice thing and not include too many bones and stuff but it wouldve been cool i think
Another thing they could have utilized was the ease of fishing things up. For some reason it was unsettling when something was reeled in with no resistance, but it never resulted in anything. Imagine you hook something, and it's taking a long time to reel in. No struggle. And when you finally get it... "You caught..." A tense pause. Suddenly a loud noise and a rotting corpse appears for mere frames, before you're suddenly on the path walking to the cabin.
i haven’t seen any endings yet, so idk if this is relevant, but just in case: the shoe manly fished up at the beginning was only 6 inches, which implies it’s a child’s shoe.
Google actually just gave me a survey asking about YOUR comment lol. Like, it had the little emoji faves from mad to laughing then it asked me why I liked it and if it's "ok" whatever that's supposed to mean rofl.
@@yohannas9657 I think a lot of people fish for relaxation and reducing anxiety, right? In that case, fighting metaphorical demons and horrors is unironically part of the process lol
I mean, considering that it’s one of the most common ways people stumble on waterlogged bodies, it just makes sense. I sorta thought I was gonna be one of those unlucky anglers once when I went out early and thought I saw a skull in the water. The light wasn’t good, so I waited a bit until it got better. Lucky for me, it was just a rock that the light had been hitting weird.
they often don't, I can assure you probably you bend them into position and they will creak again only after they retain their shape from a night temperature change or some crap
One more to add, you have to initiate the fishing. Basically deep inside, we know that this horror is our own doing. In many horror, cheap deaths quickly gets stale. But in Fishing Horror, it's like we're fighting our own desires and curiosity, which make the horror more compelling.
@@defaulted9485 Kinda like the page turn in a Junji Ito manga... you have to make the decision to go on, even when you already know it's only going to get worse
@@defaulted9485 Also the imagery of pulling something from the depths to torment you upon discovery, but that being didn't initially choose to be pulled up from their watery dwelling. Now that it is before you, you will suffer the consequences of conjuring it forward.
All of the fishing games you played are always so interesting. This one is no different. I wonder how people can come up with so many ideas from something as simple as fishing. The human imagination/mind is amazing.
Fishing is a peaceful (and for some people boring) activity, so you wind up daydreaming a lot. What lurks in the water is a popular thought train that turns scary if you think about it too long. Perfect horror setup!
I remember reading that after Sedna's fingers were cut off, she couldn't take care of her evergrowing hair anymore. After a while, if no one helped her combing it, the hair would act as a fishing net, catching all marine life in its threads, thus explaining lack of marine life and resources. I loved that tale when I was a kid !
As someone with a 100 year old house near Canada with a wooden floor and a horribly scary basement, I can tell you that the noise you make over the wood is spot-on. Old wood (REALLY old, unkept wood) will moan and groan like mad whenever you walk over it and in different spots sometimes. All wood in construction of older homes (and newer, really) will expand and contract during summer and winter from heat and cold. The more diverse the weather, the more the it'll happen. With a terrible, old basement under us, we get that groan ALL the time and after awhile you just get annoyed by it. It's an amazing little touch though by the devs for this. It makes perfect sense the house makes this noise the whole time you're walking around. Especially with well, you know. >_>;
My grandparents’ house in Japan is an old fashioned one. Spiders, street fights, the dark- nothing ever really scares me but when I tell you NO ONE uses the washroom at night because of the floorboards and horrible vibes 😭😭😭 I once swallowed my own vomit so I wouldn’t have to go 💀💀💀
Fun fact: unicorn fish are real, and live in warm ocean waters like Hawaii reefs. Love these fishing games, it's been such an untapped concept till now
As an avid fisherman, this was both hilarious because of the video game logic, and terrifying because I wonder how many dead bodies I’ve unknowingly cast my bait to.
It's such a specific horror subgenre, but I do enjoy these fishing horror games. This one in particular had some nice style to it, though I do wish the buildup to the horror started just a little earlier. What's here is fun, I appreciate the variety in the endings too. Always good to have one that's an actual good ending.
"women fear me fish fear me men turn their eyes away from me as i walk no beast dares make a sound in my presence i am alone on this barren earth" - Manly 🧢🐟
Manly channel is so underrated, his voice are so smoothing when playing horror games and not yelling like other TH-camrs. This is the content I would like to see and not some clickbaited garbage that is all over TH-cam.
@@SamuraiNubb 1. He really doesn't feel big. He's chill enough to where you think he's giving at 100k subs. It gives a cozy feel when you're watching his videos, so I don't blame them for thinking it. 2. Manly isn't really someone you think of when you think of "big youtuber." He's not mainstream, and his content isn't exactly exploding, considering he's been doing this for over a decade, I think.
@@GMP1isReal Yea, Manly serves a NICHE audience and within that audience, he is mainstream. To have as many subscribers he has with the content he provides is anything but underrated. He doesn’t consistently play many mainstream games and will never reach the level of popular streams like Markiplier and such. I get it people enjoy his content, but they need to be realistic at what he can accomplish with his current content strategy.
4:42 i read one story of Sedna and apparently she was with her father or partner and he turned into a massive crow man. he flapped his wings and the gust of wind he generated tipped her off her boat. (the water would have been freezing bc it’s in canada) and then her fingers turned into sea animals, and then i think she fell to the bottom of the ocean? i kind of forget it. also Inuit is pronounced like, in-you-wit.
So, if in the last ending, the friend gets sacrificed to Sedna and that’s why you get a bigger harvest (the great white), does that mean the same thing happens to you when you are sacrificed to her by the Uncle? Do you become a mindless fish person? And the skeleton they found in the worm pit would have been the aunt... so where is the cousin if the police searched the lake? Did the cousin just end up mindless with fish eyes too? Is she the one the friend sees out his window and the one you see running past while fishing (assuming Sedna can’t leave the lake)?
@@michaelcreech8957 yes, that’s what I’m saying. Unless Sedna eats the cousin or something when he throws her in, the police would have found a body if she was down there. And based on the precedent of the friend becoming a mindless fish person, and presumably the same thing happening to you when you get thrown in, we can assume the same thing happened to the cousin. Unless what happened to your friend was not related at all to what happened to you when you get thrown in and Sedna actually just eats you. It would be weird to have the friend’s fisheye ending without it being connected to anything else though!
@@yozzyozzie8584 oooh, I hadn’t even thought of this. I kinda like this theory! Makes me want to hear from our MC a longer time after they leave the lake. Does the friend end up mysteriously disappearing in the ending where he gets the fish eyes? How long does he have before he transforms? Interesting
@@birdiexoxo My take was that it's _not_ your friend who you drive home with in Ending C. If you don't go night-fishing, he'll be taken and sacrificed, and Sedna created a fake. That's why his speech is so halting, and why he keeps making wrong turns, and why he hides in the master bedroom until you're already in the car.
_Two shadows, one worm_ A nice relaxing fishing game... Ahoy - spoilers ahead . . . . . Nice to see Inuit mythology featured in a game! There was a bit of Lovecraft woven into the myth of Sedna, the goddess of the sea. If you sacrifice to her, your catch is good. So the uncle killed his wife, buried her for worm food. Threw his daughter in the lake, which was a sadly ironic death considering Sedna's demise. So now the fishing is good, but the uncle wanted more to sacrifice to his love. I aprreicated the little touches of humor in the game - some of the smallest ones like the tadpole & shrimp put up the biggest 'fights'. I liked this game. I also really enjoyed the music!
The sounds of the night lake almost knocked me out. The crickets and tree frogs and owl hooting is so soothing. I grew up in the county and on wet nights I slept so good with the window open. Even better if you’re by a lake and it’s just a tree frog serenade all night.
"If you never went, you wouldn't get this nice tune." True words. That was a fun fishing game. Bit unsure about the depiction of Sedna, but still a pretty cool contained horror game. I'm guessing the last ending obtained, the friend was just really traumatised; his eyes were still moving, so not literally dead
The cheeky "women want me, fish fear me" recitation at 19:13 sent me. It's funny that you uploaded this when you did; I was just thinking about this game and scouring your channel to see if you'd played it! Had no idea it had an updated release.
The spookiest thing is that you keep catching fish that shouldn't be in this lake or even in fresh water at all. This lake seems to be especially magical at night.
I imagined things happened in horror movies the way it is in this video. "Let's get out of here!" "Wait, I left my car keys in the room!" *insert 1000 profanities and how incompetent their friend is* And I lost it just at the thought of that!
I think it's the isolation of fishing, the tension when you reel it in can be used after some time, just change what you reel in to something subtly wrong and the carte blanche to go where you want scope wise. Like this one could have ended with just the insane uncle, but it also brings up the implications of something truly big out there with the Inuit goddess. That and the pacing of a fishing game also lends itself well to certain types of horror. Most fishing games you aren't expected to really complete most of those types of games and they work well to set up a routine with minimal reason needed to why you there; it's fishing and you wanted to go. This let's the subtle horror build up until it hits the crescendo, ie the final fishing. That is the kind of thing that a lot of games need time to set up and can be really hard to nail down where as these types of games lend themselves well to this genre of horror.
@@TheInsanity556 For reasons above person said. Also though it gives something to do between the horror that is not puzzles. Despite horror games using puzzles all the time they do not really fit the atmosphere of being creepy.
All of the above. And psychologically and mythologically speaking water is symbolic for the realm of the unconscious where a lot of scary thoughts and things tend to lurk waiting to re-surface at a later date.
I always look up manly's channel from time to time to watch him as I'm not the best in horror games so watching him play made me feel like relax sometimes cheering him on to the point I kinda know what he will do next. His content is bingable (is that a word) for me. His one of the youtuber that I always check his channel to see new uploads because its calming and entertaining. I subscribe to him when my history is just full of his videos.
@@ManlyBadassHero Reminds me Made in the Abyss brought that up. She said they know it is part of the accepted cycle that those who fall become food for the abyss which feeds them.
we catch fish, kill it and then gut it. it probably needs 1-2 hours of being alive to eat the worm, digest it, and then have the intestines begin to absorb the worm into the blood stream, or else it will be cleaned out when you gut the fish.
i mean i guess... look up robert pickton if you dont know who he is. they recalled meat that came from his farm because it could contain human remains :x yikes...
I think you can run from the 'uncle' into the cellar rather than out of the cabin. I think. It's been a while since I saw someone play the original. Edit: I just went looking at some other videos and that isn't the case. Would be neat though.
If i had a nickel for every time manly played a horror game about fishing, i would have 4 nickles, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened 4 times
You are by far the best game playthrough content creator around. The narration is engaging and compelling, easy to follow along with, you play the games properly and don't rip people out of the immersion by focusing on the underlying system too much but just letting the game guide you along. Big props.
it’s a genre that doesn’t seem like it needs much to be effective. No need to map out any levels, figure out puzzles, or fine tune AI. Just get some spooky art and a fishing minigame and you’re G
I generally prefer playthroughs without commentary, but this was great! Funny, entertaining, and a buttery-smooth delivery that Morgan Freeman could be proud of!
I‘ve been having a tough couple of days and watching you play the fishing minigame was just the kind of relaxing moment I needed. Have you considered streaming a full on fishing game?
I would love to see Manly play a series of traditional fishing games. I'm aware this one has horror elements but just watching Manly fish and listen to him talk about random stuff is really chill. Maybe I'm just old 🤣
Fun fact: In my house we have a taxidermy shark on our wall, it was caught by my dads uncle when they were fishing in some lake in Connecticut. We've had some door to door sales people stop and say "cool shark" before trying to make us buy something from them
This is honestly really neat. Leaves the clues well paced. I also love that you're contained to the game boy screen, it's a rather brilliant way to sort of confine the player to this grid system. And that system works for both navigating the over world, and the lake. That said our friend is incredibly strange. Not the not seeing his family in a while thing. No, who doesn't go see a vacation house before using it? Or clean the fish heads out of the fridge? Or the weird plate tableau?
Those things you're calling "shinys" are the top of the ghosty thing's head poking up out of the water to look at you. That's why there are eyes and that's why they're getting closer and closer to you, popping up out of the water until you pan your reticle toward them, at which point they go underwater.
I used to be the mythos kid, so right when I read the words "inuit mythos", I thought to myself: Wait, isn't it about the poor daughter who got to become a seagull's (skua's?) wife and got her fingers cut by her father, each phalanx then to become some sort of a sea animal and her to transform into the sea goddess, who was to blame for poor animal population, and thus hunger, due to her being unable to comb her extra long hair without fingers and getting animals constantly caught in it? God, it was so unexpected to see those legends to be used for the plot of a Gameboy horror game of all types. Thank you a lot for playing this one!
So many monster and ghost stories could be ended peacefully by sitting at a lake with a beer in hand and fishing together, letting tensions calm as you let the hours pass by.
I like to imagine this is somewhat like what the evil farming game / blood-harvest moon fishing minigame would've been like if it were a real game and not misremembered Joel stream
Excellent, thank you for playing one of Teebowah's games! I hope this means we can look forward to you playing the third shift too when it launches. :) They do really great gameboy horror stuff.
Love to see them put this on an actual cartridge, and the second you read that bit about innuit lore and you saw the fish heads in the fridge I knew something was up
I am familiar with a version of the story of Sedna. When I saw it, I started theorizing about why there are so many saltwater fish in a freshwater lake immediately
I know you're quite big but i watched like 5 of your videos and i really enjoy the fact you play these short and otherwise unknown games. No extra editing just game play and good commentry love it
Quick note of those who are curious the story of the sea goddess from what I recall from a small snippet in school, basically the goddess who was originally a human for some reason gets lobbed into the sea by her father and of course she tries to hang onto the boat and father of the year decides obviously to cut her fingers off and long story short she’s now a vengeful spirit? And her fingers turn into seals. I might be wrong but hey finger seals fuck yeah
I mean, I think nautical horror is about as old as literature. The only reason it isn't older is that ghost stories older than that don't always cleanly fit into what we would think of as 'horror stories.'
Welcome to the I've Been Caught Club, how I've Been Caught are ya?
Very
Red-handed 😞
I've been caught by surprise many times
I have been fished, don’t fry me or turn me into a sandwich
a fair amount of I’ve Been Caught i believe

You manage fishing my curious with that info fish.. Bait.. Hmm
the moment i saw the sardine i was thinking "wait, is this fresh or salt water?"
You forgot the lobster
I like how his reaction to a hand grabbing the bait is "hey! That's mine!" Like it's just a random diver stealing bait from people instead of a monster
man, I hate it when the sea monster steals my bait
You don't hide in lakes to steal worms? Weird.....
@@rd30000 no but i do hide along the sea shore to steal lost swimming goggles and surf boards to use for myself
Makes me think he's friends with the monster
@@coolball999 I mean it's certainly better than letting it get washed out to sea and become part of the trash build-up problem where it could harm the sea life. Who says the horrors lurking in the dark can't care about the environment?
a lake with a healthy ecosystem would have good diversity of animals, most things you would find in the ocean you can find in freshwater. sharks, rays, horrors, eels, dolphins, pufferfish, ancient inuit goddesses...all signs of a decently healthy lake!
She is the apex predator, eating betta fish like grapes
Indeed, if you don't start hearing whispers from the depths, you should contact your local wildlife department!
@@mabelsan1133 a healthy depths has unknowable and daunting whispers!
I might be wrong but I think lakes can be connected to oceans anyway
@@JargonMadjin its pretty rare to find a lake that is not in some way connected to the ocean actually. like only a few hundred worldwide are endorheic (not connected to sea)
the most unnerving thing about this video is manly's vast knowledge of real life fishing
Right???
Why would that be unnerving..
@@kyleyoung5063 it's just... fishy
@@0g0mogosepikworld31 very fishy i do agree my friend ^^
I can identify a surprising number of fish thanks to years of playing Animal Crossing. Totally shocked my Dad (who does fish) with my fish identification abilities…
The strange varieties of fish you catch are due to Sedna. Her whole thing is giving bountiful catches from fishing if she’s pleased, and since she’s a supernatural being, she doesn’t have to just make fish that are appropriate for the areas being fished (in this case, the lake). This explains why you catch things like lobsters, sharks, rays, and other things not typically found in lakes.
But what happens if you don’t give her your tribute or anything back to her? Will she take you away?
Something I wish the game had done more with is the real-in. Everytime you catch something, that brief pause between the "you caught" and showing what you got was tense but everytime it was a fish or simple object. I feel this could have been the best moment for something startling
Yeah for real that little hand animation at first actually got me to jump and I was waiting for: You caught... '???' followed by a mutilated fish and/or corpse
I was thinking the same thing like for the friend going alone ending you could’ve had like amazingly great catches and then your last catch you get the friends head or something
@@Hellooo134 yeah i swear i was convinced it would be his skull or arm or whatever
i guess they chose to be more subtle w the whole sacrifice thing and not include too many bones and stuff but it wouldve been cool i think
Another thing they could have utilized was the ease of fishing things up. For some reason it was unsettling when something was reeled in with no resistance, but it never resulted in anything.
Imagine you hook something, and it's taking a long time to reel in. No struggle. And when you finally get it...
"You caught..."
A tense pause.
Suddenly a loud noise and a rotting corpse appears for mere frames, before you're suddenly on the path walking to the cabin.
I think it adds more tension and unease with a lot of viewers expecting a scare like that and it never happening. Perhaps it was done on purpose!
i haven’t seen any endings yet, so idk if this is relevant, but just in case: the shoe manly fished up at the beginning was only 6 inches, which implies it’s a child’s shoe.
Shit i didnt even think of that but thats some damn good foreshadowing
Oh damn, I thought it was a small shoe but I just didn't click that children actually exist lol
@@onglogman No they don't, that's just what "They" want you to believe.
I DONT LIKE THAT ONE BIT
@@randyman410 as a minor i feel like you have been through something
I’m pretty sure, from all the fishing games Manly has played; he’s pretty good at fishing. (excluding the ungodly demons and horrors killing him.)
Google actually just gave me a survey asking about YOUR comment lol. Like, it had the little emoji faves from mad to laughing then it asked me why I liked it and if it's "ok" whatever that's supposed to mean rofl.
@@AlleyCryptid nice
@@AlleyCryptid lol whats
Well the ungodly horrors and demons are a pretty big part of fishing
@@yohannas9657 I think a lot of people fish for relaxation and reducing anxiety, right? In that case, fighting metaphorical demons and horrors is unironically part of the process lol
I love that fishing horror is practically a genre now
"Catch a jumpscare" has a whole new meaning now
I’m just happy there’s more fishing games in general. I weirdly like them.
Always has been, always will be
I mean, considering that it’s one of the most common ways people stumble on waterlogged bodies, it just makes sense. I sorta thought I was gonna be one of those unlucky anglers once when I went out early and thought I saw a skull in the water. The light wasn’t good, so I waited a bit until it got better. Lucky for me, it was just a rock that the light had been hitting weird.
I think the weird noises are supposed to be planks creaking. Kinda weird tho, you'd think they'd keep kreaking once you step again on them.
they often don't, I can assure you
probably you bend them into position and they will creak again only after they retain their shape from a night temperature change or some crap
@@koghs well thanks, it's good to know ^^
If they weren't coming from the planks they were likely coming from the cellar
@@koghs A lot of the creaks in a wood floor are from the nails. Those ones will just keep creakin'
I thought it was the sound of the record player
If someone can explain to me why fishing, horror and Manly go together so well, please do.
I would love to know.
Something something unknown ocean HP Lovecraft spooky weird fish something something
I would love to have Manly as a fishing guide
One more to add, you have to initiate the fishing. Basically deep inside, we know that this horror is our own doing. In many horror, cheap deaths quickly gets stale. But in Fishing Horror, it's like we're fighting our own desires and curiosity, which make the horror more compelling.
@@defaulted9485 Kinda like the page turn in a Junji Ito manga... you have to make the decision to go on, even when you already know it's only going to get worse
@@defaulted9485 Also the imagery of pulling something from the depths to torment you upon discovery, but that being didn't initially choose to be pulled up from their watery dwelling. Now that it is before you, you will suffer the consequences of conjuring it forward.
All of the fishing games you played are always so interesting. This one is no different. I wonder how people can come up with so many ideas from something as simple as fishing. The human imagination/mind is amazing.
Fishing is a peaceful (and for some people boring) activity, so you wind up daydreaming a lot. What lurks in the water is a popular thought train that turns scary if you think about it too long. Perfect horror setup!
People fear the unknown, and it’s hard to easily get closer to the unknown than in deep water. Anything could be in there, what if something is?
I remember reading that after Sedna's fingers were cut off, she couldn't take care of her evergrowing hair anymore. After a while, if no one helped her combing it, the hair would act as a fishing net, catching all marine life in its threads, thus explaining lack of marine life and resources.
I loved that tale when I was a kid !
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "I say morning instead of good morning, because if it was good i would be fishing" the game
As someone with a 100 year old house near Canada with a wooden floor and a horribly scary basement, I can tell you that the noise you make over the wood is spot-on. Old wood (REALLY old, unkept wood) will moan and groan like mad whenever you walk over it and in different spots sometimes. All wood in construction of older homes (and newer, really) will expand and contract during summer and winter from heat and cold. The more diverse the weather, the more the it'll happen. With a terrible, old basement under us, we get that groan ALL the time and after awhile you just get annoyed by it. It's an amazing little touch though by the devs for this. It makes perfect sense the house makes this noise the whole time you're walking around. Especially with well, you know. >_>;
My grandparents’ house in Japan is an old fashioned one. Spiders, street fights, the dark- nothing ever really scares me but when I tell you NO ONE uses the washroom at night because of the floorboards and horrible vibes 😭😭😭 I once swallowed my own vomit so I wouldn’t have to go 💀💀💀
And it'll keep groaning until you give me back my fucking tailypo.
@@snackcakesmcgee7729 Awesome lol. I was hungry 🤣
my house is from the early 1900s if I'm remmembering correctly. I can confirm
@@snackcakesmcgee7729 I don't have it or your golden arm. Stop asking.
Fun fact: unicorn fish are real, and live in warm ocean waters like Hawaii reefs. Love these fishing games, it's been such an untapped concept till now
38:47 when Manly's soothing and composed voice cracking because of anxiety XDD
manly when freaking out made me chuckled a bit XD
Best part of the video!
*"U r the worst fren, u are the worst fren in the wor!*
*I gonna die!*
As an avid fisherman, this was both hilarious because of the video game logic, and terrifying because I wonder how many dead bodies I’ve unknowingly cast my bait to.
Tis the dead sea
I'm less than a minute in but I'm already digging the visuals. Look at that lovingly rendered fish-themed letter opener lol
It's such a specific horror subgenre, but I do enjoy these fishing horror games. This one in particular had some nice style to it, though I do wish the buildup to the horror started just a little earlier. What's here is fun, I appreciate the variety in the endings too. Always good to have one that's an actual good ending.
"women fear me fish fear me men turn their eyes away from me as i walk no beast dares make a sound in my presence i am alone on this barren earth"
- Manly 🧢🐟
fish masta
I still love how Manly only freaks out when the friend sends him back to get the keys.
Manly channel is so underrated, his voice are so smoothing when playing horror games and not yelling like other TH-camrs. This is the content I would like to see and not some clickbaited garbage that is all over TH-cam.
He has 1.18m subscribers. What is you definition of “underrated?”
@@SamuraiNubb 1. He really doesn't feel big. He's chill enough to where you think he's giving at 100k subs. It gives a cozy feel when you're watching his videos, so I don't blame them for thinking it.
2. Manly isn't really someone you think of when you think of "big youtuber." He's not mainstream, and his content isn't exactly exploding, considering he's been doing this for over a decade, I think.
@@GMP1isReal Yea, Manly serves a NICHE audience and within that audience, he is mainstream. To have as many subscribers he has with the content he provides is anything but underrated. He doesn’t consistently play many mainstream games and will never reach the level of popular streams like Markiplier and such.
I get it people enjoy his content, but they need to be realistic at what he can accomplish with his current content strategy.
@@SamuraiNubb 1.18M in 12 years
@@rekttt_7374 For a NICHE genre. Like seriously, this is an accomplishment.
i think the random crunchy noises while you were walking around the house is supposed to be floor creaking
4:42 i read one story of Sedna and apparently she was with her father or partner and he turned into a massive crow man. he flapped his wings and the gust of wind he generated tipped her off her boat. (the water would have been freezing bc it’s in canada) and then her fingers turned into sea animals, and then i think she fell to the bottom of the ocean? i kind of forget it. also Inuit is pronounced like, in-you-wit.
The fact that he knew what a pleco was... warmed my cold dead heart.
That fish guy from Inscryption would be in heaven here, he would say "Good Fish." and all the other dialogue, shoulda brought him along.
Perfectly reciting the “fish fear me” hat made me laugh so damn hard. Love your content, man!
I'm sorry Manly but the moment you ranted on the incompetence of your friend, I couldn't stop laughing!
So, if in the last ending, the friend gets sacrificed to Sedna and that’s why you get a bigger harvest (the great white), does that mean the same thing happens to you when you are sacrificed to her by the Uncle? Do you become a mindless fish person?
And the skeleton they found in the worm pit would have been the aunt... so where is the cousin if the police searched the lake? Did the cousin just end up mindless with fish eyes too? Is she the one the friend sees out his window and the one you see running past while fishing (assuming Sedna can’t leave the lake)?
you find two size 6 shoes in the lake and the note mentions he threw her in
@@michaelcreech8957 yes, that’s what I’m saying. Unless Sedna eats the cousin or something when he throws her in, the police would have found a body if she was down there. And based on the precedent of the friend becoming a mindless fish person, and presumably the same thing happening to you when you get thrown in, we can assume the same thing happened to the cousin.
Unless what happened to your friend was not related at all to what happened to you when you get thrown in and Sedna actually just eats you. It would be weird to have the friend’s fisheye ending without it being connected to anything else though!
@@birdiexoxo I think maybe his friend will turn into a fish sometime later. And the large trout found by the divers probably the cousin.
@@yozzyozzie8584 oooh, I hadn’t even thought of this. I kinda like this theory! Makes me want to hear from our MC a longer time after they leave the lake. Does the friend end up mysteriously disappearing in the ending where he gets the fish eyes? How long does he have before he transforms? Interesting
@@birdiexoxo My take was that it's _not_ your friend who you drive home with in Ending C. If you don't go night-fishing, he'll be taken and sacrificed, and Sedna created a fake. That's why his speech is so halting, and why he keeps making wrong turns, and why he hides in the master bedroom until you're already in the car.
_Two shadows, one worm_
A nice relaxing fishing game...
Ahoy - spoilers ahead

Nice to see Inuit mythology featured in a game! There was a bit of Lovecraft woven into the myth of Sedna, the goddess of the sea. If you sacrifice to her, your catch is good. So the uncle killed his wife, buried her for worm food. Threw his daughter in the lake, which was a sadly ironic death considering Sedna's demise. So now the fishing is good, but the uncle wanted more to sacrifice to his love. I aprreicated the little touches of humor in the game - some of the smallest ones like the tadpole & shrimp put up the biggest 'fights'. I liked this game. I also really enjoyed the music!
Can we just appreciate how he doesn’t overdue his reactions?
overdo*
@@JadeiteMcSwag yeah yeah
@@JadeiteMcSwagoverdue*
The sounds of the night lake almost knocked me out. The crickets and tree frogs and owl hooting is so soothing. I grew up in the county and on wet nights I slept so good with the window open. Even better if you’re by a lake and it’s just a tree frog serenade all night.
I don't think I've ever heard the term "clean horror" before, but I think it fits rather well. 🙂
"If you never went, you wouldn't get this nice tune." True words.
That was a fun fishing game. Bit unsure about the depiction of Sedna, but still a pretty cool contained horror game.
I'm guessing the last ending obtained, the friend was just really traumatised; his eyes were still moving, so not literally dead
The cheeky "women want me, fish fear me" recitation at 19:13 sent me. It's funny that you uploaded this when you did; I was just thinking about this game and scouring your channel to see if you'd played it! Had no idea it had an updated release.
The spookiest thing is that you keep catching fish that shouldn't be in this lake or even in fresh water at all. This lake seems to be especially magical at night.
This game feels and looks more creepy than i remember. Nice to see how much was updated.
Hearing Manly kinda have fun fishing gives me the goofiest smile.
we need a fishing game where one minor scary thing happens in the end so manly plays it and just has fun fishing
I just love of tadpole give a fight in the same level as white shark.
I imagined things happened in horror movies the way it is in this video.
"Let's get out of here!"
"Wait, I left my car keys in the room!"
*insert 1000 profanities and how incompetent their friend is*
And I lost it just at the thought of that!
"Fuck it, we're hotwiring this bitch!"
Welcome back to the show, today we hope to answer the question “why are fishing games such good horror games as well” any thoughts?
I think it's the isolation of fishing, the tension when you reel it in can be used after some time, just change what you reel in to something subtly wrong and the carte blanche to go where you want scope wise.
Like this one could have ended with just the insane uncle, but it also brings up the implications of something truly big out there with the Inuit goddess.
That and the pacing of a fishing game also lends itself well to certain types of horror. Most fishing games you aren't expected to really complete most of those types of games and they work well to set up a routine with minimal reason needed to why you there; it's fishing and you wanted to go. This let's the subtle horror build up until it hits the crescendo, ie the final fishing. That is the kind of thing that a lot of games need time to set up and can be really hard to nail down where as these types of games lend themselves well to this genre of horror.
@@TheInsanity556 For reasons above person said. Also though it gives something to do between the horror that is not puzzles. Despite horror games using puzzles all the time they do not really fit the atmosphere of being creepy.
All of the above. And psychologically and mythologically speaking water is symbolic for the realm of the unconscious where a lot of scary thoughts and things tend to lurk waiting to re-surface at a later date.
An old mystery on the creepy lake containing an abandoned cabin, shallow grave and a cellar of the ancient sea god? There's no better story than that
I always look up manly's channel from time to time to watch him as I'm not the best in horror games so watching him play made me feel like relax sometimes cheering him on to the point I kinda know what he will do next. His content is bingable (is that a word) for me. His one of the youtuber that I always check his channel to see new uploads because its calming and entertaining. I subscribe to him when my history is just full of his videos.
If worms ate a body, then you used said worms to catch a fish…. then you ate said fish, would you technically be eating the body by proxy?
That's the reason certain cultures and regions don't eat specific animals.
@@ManlyBadassHero Reminds me Made in the Abyss brought that up. She said they know it is part of the accepted cycle that those who fall become food for the abyss which feeds them.
As Hamlet said, a king may pass through the guts of a beggar.
we catch fish, kill it and then gut it. it probably needs 1-2 hours of being alive to eat the worm, digest it, and then have the intestines begin to absorb the worm into the blood stream, or else it will be cleaned out when you gut the fish.
i mean i guess... look up robert pickton if you dont know who he is. they recalled meat that came from his farm because it could contain human remains :x yikes...
I think you can run from the 'uncle' into the cellar rather than out of the cabin. I think. It's been a while since I saw someone play the original.
Edit: I just went looking at some other videos and that isn't the case. Would be neat though.
If i had a nickel for every time manly played a horror game about fishing, i would have 4 nickles, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened 4 times
This man makes me feel so at ease and I have no idea why
You are by far the best game playthrough content creator around. The narration is engaging and compelling, easy to follow along with, you play the games properly and don't rip people out of the immersion by focusing on the underlying system too much but just letting the game guide you along.
Big props.
It's kind of nutty how many horror fishing games there are.
it’s a genre that doesn’t seem like it needs much to be effective. No need to map out any levels, figure out puzzles, or fine tune AI. Just get some spooky art and a fishing minigame and you’re G
I generally prefer playthroughs without commentary, but this was great! Funny, entertaining, and a buttery-smooth delivery that Morgan Freeman could be proud of!
I like how the shrimp and tadpole put up more of a fight than the bass, frog and catfish.
I‘ve been having a tough couple of days and watching you play the fishing minigame was just the kind of relaxing moment I needed. Have you considered streaming a full on fishing game?
I would love to see Manly play a series of traditional fishing games. I'm aware this one has horror elements but just watching Manly fish and listen to him talk about random stuff is really chill.
Maybe I'm just old 🤣
I'd like that too! Though it doesn't really fit with what he usually does. It still sounds cool.
It’d be a neat change of pace. Love to hear him play a more comedic fishing game just for fun. Pity the first of April already past
I couldn’t have sworn you played this one before but then again you played a lot of horror theme fishing games.
Fun fact: In my house we have a taxidermy shark on our wall, it was caught by my dads uncle when they were fishing in some lake in Connecticut.
We've had some door to door sales people stop and say "cool shark" before trying to make us buy something from them
Cool story 👍🏻
Manly is the only one I know who almost always gets the A tier ending first (aka the hardest ones)
Honestly, the music getting slower and slower each day was one of the most creepy things in this game to me
20:53 shadow: hehehe im scary
Manly: HEY GET OUTTA HERE
God i love his commentary
46:05 flounders have chromatophores on their backs that allow them to change their markings to camoflague against the sea floor
This is honestly really neat. Leaves the clues well paced. I also love that you're contained to the game boy screen, it's a rather brilliant way to sort of confine the player to this grid system. And that system works for both navigating the over world, and the lake.
That said our friend is incredibly strange. Not the not seeing his family in a while thing. No, who doesn't go see a vacation house before using it? Or clean the fish heads out of the fridge? Or the weird plate tableau?
I feel like manly fishes, or has fished in the past and had fond memories of the hunt. Cause he just loves these fishing games.
Its better than just eating fish in the other fishing game
Late evening, watching manly play ̶H̶o̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ cool fishing games, what a mood.
I love your voice overs & comments, it makes the game even better lol
"I'm gonna hitchhike! CALL IN AN UBER!" had me laughing soooo hard
So...I know they tried to tie this to an Inuit legend but this is literally the backstory of Innsmouth.
Those things you're calling "shinys" are the top of the ghosty thing's head poking up out of the water to look at you. That's why there are eyes and that's why they're getting closer and closer to you, popping up out of the water until you pan your reticle toward them, at which point they go underwater.
I used to be the mythos kid, so right when I read the words "inuit mythos", I thought to myself: Wait, isn't it about the poor daughter who got to become a seagull's (skua's?) wife and got her fingers cut by her father, each phalanx then to become some sort of a sea animal and her to transform into the sea goddess, who was to blame for poor animal population, and thus hunger, due to her being unable to comb her extra long hair without fingers and getting animals constantly caught in it? God, it was so unexpected to see those legends to be used for the plot of a Gameboy horror game of all types. Thank you a lot for playing this one!
Oh hey great to see this game get an updated rerelease.
So many monster and ghost stories could be ended peacefully by sitting at a lake with a beer in hand and fishing together, letting tensions calm as you let the hours pass by.
For those who want to jump straight into the spooks, the first freaky thing starts at around 18 minutes
Da real mvp
With what this game was going for, I think it ABSOLUTELY nailed it. What a great experience - thanks for introducing me to it!
I love how the creaking floorboards constantly befuddled Manly.
I love his commentary creepy zombie person is watching him fish: “Hey get outa here”, scary hand grabs the lure “Hey that’s mine”.
i love this guy. hes so entertaining
I was expecting you’d have to fish in the shadows by the trees in the left, and you would get something messed up
Considering how much was added to this game now i would've thought the same thing lol
I like to imagine this is somewhat like what the evil farming game / blood-harvest moon fishing minigame would've been like if it were a real game and not misremembered Joel stream
Excellent, thank you for playing one of Teebowah's games! I hope this means we can look forward to you playing the third shift too when it launches. :) They do really great gameboy horror stuff.
Love to see them put this on an actual cartridge, and the second you read that bit about innuit lore and you saw the fish heads in the fridge I knew something was up
the fact they added the alternate pallets to the game is a nice detail that hit home hard with the nostalgia factor.
god I recall seeing a different playthrough of this exact game and it the chase scene gave me late night paranoia.
Still a great gameplay tho
I am familiar with a version of the story of Sedna. When I saw it, I started theorizing about why there are so many saltwater fish in a freshwater lake immediately
“Lake This Way” weird name for a lake…
This tune that plays when you're catching worms is ridiculously catchy
I like the ending where you´re sensible human beings and just get tf out of there and call the police
I'm sick in bed but fret not, Manly just uploaded a 1 hour video
I do love how chill and quiet your voice is. It's soothing.
I love how everything in this game is engineered to have a face
I know you're quite big but i watched like 5 of your videos and i really enjoy the fact you play these short and otherwise unknown games. No extra editing just game play and good commentry love it
Always love watching Manly playing any horror games that consist of fishing and anything underwater in it.
Oh boy, I love fishing!! I'm sure nothing will go wrong right???
Quick note of those who are curious the story of the sea goddess from what I recall from a small snippet in school, basically the goddess who was originally a human for some reason gets lobbed into the sea by her father and of course she tries to hang onto the boat and father of the year decides obviously to cut her fingers off and long story short she’s now a vengeful spirit? And her fingers turn into seals. I might be wrong but hey finger seals fuck yeah
I mean, I think nautical horror is about as old as literature. The only reason it isn't older is that ghost stories older than that don't always cleanly fit into what we would think of as 'horror stories.'
