![BAD END THEATER - true end ver. [With Lyrics]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TGQ5CoIdHs4/mqdefault.jpg)
The song thooo. "share in my missery for all eternity"
"For all your tragadies I'll write happy endings"
Beautiful
I don't know why but I teared up and cried at the last verse of the song. Just how pure the love is between Tragedy and their lover. That Tragedy's love let's Tragedy be her, writing what she wants but also be able to bring her happiness and bring more light and life into their lives, writing happy endings for Tragedy. No matter if they share in misery they also will share in happy endings, together.
And I'm a sucker for happy endings and I think hearing that last verse I just knew that Tragedy's lover was singing and knew they would be able to be happy, no matter what comes their way.
Just Beautiful, over an hour of investment for that unexpected payoff. Magnificently beautiful.
Thats what i said
The best part : if you don't get every single bad ending you wouldnt even see tragedy ending. And the closing theme ends at : "it's my misery for all eternity"
This song (and the game to an extent) definitely had Vocaloid vibes and I wonder if that was on purpose. The mood was similar to many of the vocaloid songs people made and the characters from both things sort of remind me of each other (probably because each one has characters that are distinctly associated with a color and I happened to listen to a lot of the tragic AMV's for Vocaloid). For me, the reference alluded to when times were more simple. I felt that much more drawn to TRAGEDY's story in the end because I could relate to the pain of growing apart from people and more simple times. Even though it didn't happen as tragically for me as it did for them, the pain of stuff like that is inevitable. And much like our protagonist shows, you learn that sometimes you have to work hard and persevere to make things work out despite the odds.
No when it said “For all you tragedies I’ll write happy endings” I was like we play as Comedy. We are the other half and then at the end I was like YES I knew it!
Game: "You must be as much of a masochist as me!"
Mark: *"And I took that personally."*
I cackled so hard when I saw that xD
EXACTLY
Lmao didnt think I'd find Toto the epic bryan player here
WAIT WHERE
@@pinkiesbrew- around 1:16:28 ish!
First 30 seconds of the game: “WARNING: BLOOD, VIOLENCE, AND STRONG LANGUAGE”
The ending: Literally the most heartwarming thing I’ve ever seen
It did say that it meant to be lighthearted so, it makes sense
They're kinda adorable little peoples
if the ending of this game is sweet, the other games by this dev is a 20 ton delivery truck full of powered sugar... and thats why i love this dev
edit: i actually havent played any of nomnomnami's games recently enough to remember if thats actually true but if i can trick someone into buying their other games (which they will inevitably enjoy) i think that would be a win. Plus i feel the exact same as that review shown in the beginning of the video and bought both a game i had already played for free on itch io (her tears were my light)and bought this game a long time ago to support them, although i only played it now so i could watch this video, so the more money i can help get funneled towards this dev the better.
@@cinnamoncat8950 i played "Her tears were my light" recently. It was good!
wait till you see Oneshot
Fun fact!: Your health at the final battle (mark's face cam was blocking it) is the number of endings you've collected. Since Mark had got all 41 when facing through it, he had 41 HP
41 likes.. it’s perfect
Omg I was gonna lile the comment but I'll keep at 41
115 likes: YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF
So what happened if you run out of HP?
@@StarMisura You get your bad ending, you just lose the battle
Love, how it's also color coded. Like each protagonist has their own, and when they meet, they add to the others color scheme. With the true endings having every four of them.
Oh that's why the True Endings looked so different! I noticed the fact they obviously each have their own colors but not that they added to eachother after meeting. Thanks for bringing that up
tysm for this observation, i didnt notice it before
Ikr? When I saw colored ending for the first time (not true ending yet) I was like "heeey this is important for damn sure"
IT SUCH A COOL DETAIL WOW
mmm i was super suspicious about the last slide in the credits with the pink sky and purple hill 👀
I’ve discovered who the real antagonist of this game is; A. The stupid old man that keeps saying that the maiden was brainwashed. B. The demon guards
You could say... the community?
Yes
Seems like truly ignorance was the antagonist all along
I mean……. The antagonist could be the player. Forcing the characters to suffer over and over again.
@@itsthejavavoid But if it weren't for the player, the characters would've never gotten their true endings
tragedy is the maiden, and comedy is the overlord. ...ironically beautiful, i think 🥲
I’m unsure but maybe it’s the opposite, hard to tell when in the end everything is always sad.
Comedy? How did you get that name? I don't remember it being mentioned
@@EmilysLovelyBakery theatre is often represented with 2 masks, one called tragedy and the other called comedy, since tragedy is a character in this game and it also takes place at a theater it can be guessed the character tragedy speaks to at the end of this video is probably called comedy.
@@RoseDeleca ohh alright thank you!
@@RoseDeleca Not only that but during the ending, they say the MC (In this case Comedy) said while talking to tragedy that they were intent on making things a Good ending so that's another way to show that they are Comedy.
"You can't help but think it's a little late in the game to be getting some new backstory."💀
And then even later, you finally get your own backstory revealed
This story blew my mind
@@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix it was pretty shocking to find out I was a girl all along.
They did that ending well. A slightly disappointed, “that’s how it ends?” good ending, And then an actually satisfying good ending.
A 2.9k comment with 0 replies ???
Not even bots ??? Damn, those are rare.
...
...
Unfortunately, I'm here to ruin that. POST !
Now dont get me wrong I LOVE!!!! the ending of the game and I agree with your statements but I feel like there is a miss oppurtunity with tragedys ending, let me explain. I feel like just like how the nameless main character that we play self insert into tragedys story and turn it into a good ending, the developer could have had us *actually* self insert *ourselves* into the game and like, *help tragedy reach her good ending. Which i think would be a cool and **satisfying ending.
*By helping I mean like give her hope that she'll be able to meet with her loved one and hell, maybe even let us be a friend to tragedys loved one and surprise tragedy by having them enter the theater or smthn.
**because it sort of reference how 'we' "self insert" 'ourselves' into tragedys story and give it a good ending.
In the end, like I said I do love the ending, its just when I first saw the ending my mind just went, "huh, it could've went this way instead". So, sort of wanted to hear your opinion on my opinion here.
(Sorry for the long rant)
@@zooidiotgaming5784 I totally didn't saw the reveal of tragedy being pretty much the maiden and our character being the inspiration for the overlord coming. That got me by surprise! Perhaps the person behind the game didn't had such a happy ending in real life, so they made themselves one in this little game.
@@alsparkproductions7849 this was what I thought too. I've met quite a few people who devote themselves to a project or story due to losing someone, myself included. This was a beautiful game and it hit hard, but incredibly well.
it's kinda satisfying but it's such a cliche nowadays to say 'we're lgbt but nobody approves'.
plenty of plot devices are cliches though. i guess that's the world we live in.
A good story is released and everyone takes the tropes and plot devices and uses them to death.
My favorite part is when you reset the game fully to replay, the canon explaination is comedy asks tragedy to start from the top and retell the story, which made me feel a lot better about restarting for the achievement
That's so sweet 🥺
Holy fucking shit. What a story. And for it to narrated and played by markiplier was just icing on the cake. 10/10 definitely recommend
Yeah, mark's voice makes watching this video even more amazing then the game is
Was a really good story yeah.
No. This is an 11/10

It was nice to see that markiplier genuinely enjoyed this game. sometimes he sounds exasperated having to read so much dialogue, but I think this one was just sweet
It kinda is similar in structure to In Space With Markiplier

The end music at the credits honestly made me cry, it’s beautiful, so is this game

God i'm just crying i can't
the full soundtrack is on spotify!
Yess I love it!
I literally had to find and save this song. Such a pure song for a cute game 😭
i love this game, imagine the creator of this game is actually tragedy searching for her love. That would burst me into tears
I really wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of parallels to the creator. Games like this are usually based in reality.

yep, that's literally the ending of the game. Who's chopping onions in here, my eyes are leaking! :''(
@@nikkiofthevalley iirc the games creator said that tragedys story isnt based on things that actually happened to her personally, but is still based in reality
spoilers but you definitely saw the video already
if you buy the out of game dlc the creator indirectly says so saying theyr biased for the overlord
imagine? I thought tragedy was basically a self insert

"I'm satisfied, Tragedy."
The end credits sent goosebumps down my spine. Omg I dont think I've seen a better plot in a game before. I fell hard for everyone. Even the letters make you feel for tragedy. Bravo. Encore please.
I almost never cry at media (movies, books, games etc) but this game made me tear up. And that is special. I really appreciate this game.
Tear up? I burst into tears lol
I can physically count how many times I've cried at a show or film. It's 3. Never once have I cried at a game but this one had me full on bawling

- "Tragedy's End" feels like it also means something more. "Tragedies end". No suffering lasts forever.
It might also mean Tragedy ends for the 4 MCs. Either interpretation is really cool!

The whole story of the maiden and the overlord connecting but others getting in the way of their connection makes so much sense in the end! It’s just basically one giant metaphor for the two girls who liked it other’s families…absolutely brilliant writing and what an awesome story!! Loved it!!
i was NOT expecting such a touching ending. my lesbian ass was crying
"Tragedy's end." That's really poetic. What a cool game.
What a neat, zany, cooky, wiley, wacky and possibly bodunkadacious little game
Kinda reminds me of the backstory of FNAF, but just less harsh
Such a good title, i tell you.
Rather mad at myself for not coming up with it sooner. Oh well, at least its been put to good use in a story such as this.

Me, Tragedy:
"You are a beautiful young girl. Demon overlords apparently love capturing those"
Sounds like every light novel anime ever
Isn't it totally opposite now days ? It's always an OP Demon lord protagonist and an evil church
@@nero5178 yeah, and the entire story is about a cliche “Hot man good guy” thing, right?
@@Dragoon-zm6fc not really.
@@greenbeamtheii1621 not all of them, but there are quite a few. The tropes get repetitive. I see it in a lot of Webtoons, the same things over and over-
actually... now that i think about i can't actually think of a single anime (or light novel) where that actually happens... i mean SAO ig, but that was a Fairy King, completely opposite. this statement is actually false... huh
i couldn't recall the amount of times i've rewatched this. it's *that* beautiful. that "take all my money" review was too relatable. this was (and always will be) my favorite series of bad endings. i never loved bad endings until this game from a year ago showed up.
The casual and good representation this story has always puts a smile on my face. The story is touching and beautiful, and the gay representation with the maiden and the overlord, and the nonbinary rep with the demon underling. It’s genuinely such a step forward and warms my heart.
Why would you self insert your own shit into the game like that? There is no "gay representation" with the maiden and the overlord, they just appear friendly, not all friendly characters are romantically attracted to each other. Tragedy and its partner have an implied relationship though, and are depicted as women, you could have said that instead.
@@_korbo_did you watched the video? 😂😂😂😂
@@_korbo_why are you so pissy
@@fukyoutubestupidfuckinghandles Because people self inserting into places that are completely unrelated is what drives most people away from supporting small groups.

@_korbo_ with all due respect, can you fucking not /j
Most people when faced with only bad endings: I’ll never give up trying to get the happy ending I desire!
Mark: you have no idea how BONEHEADED I AM!
Two sides, same coin.

Wherever he runs, however long he hides… HE will always be there…. The comments calling him a masochist!

I love the song in general. The way it starts with no vocals as a welcome. Then for the bad ending it ends with only “tragedy” then the true one with “happiness” side of the song and it ends with Ive missed instead of I miss is just so amazing even if it’s a small detail. I rewatched and still love that fact amazing game and will rewatch again.
I find it really interesting that for the "true endings" they mix all of the characters' color pallets
1:20:50 Oh but Mark, that's the true joy of theater!
The tiny little detail, the "closed" sign on the theater at the end of the game, makes this really feel like a true ending, a complete one.
Edit: HOLY ALMOST 2K LIKES
You also can't play anymore after that unless you reset the game. So it really does leave some finality to the ending
Tbh I didn’t like the battle with tragedy because of how much it assimilated undertale true pacifist run
I'm not sure I've ever encountered a game that felt so cliche, yet, simultaneously, deeply original.
it just uses cliche in a way that feels... natural. it uses cliche perfectly, and while i could predict the ending(s), i was still emotional at the very end. really beautiful.
well said
Cliche is cliche for a reason. Powerful tools in writing.
I think that's called being "campy" lol
@@tylerholley9823 lmao, I suppose so.
Why am I crying at the ending like I figured after seeing the letters we played as comedy and that we were here to reunite with tragedy, but I wasn't expecting it to be so sweet and adorable and gay. This game is fricking amazing. I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob.
This game was made for people like Mark. Even when told from the very beginning that you would only get bad endings, he'd still try everything to get a good ending. And more than that, a way to save everyone. I don't think he likes pain, I think he would face it to get to something beyond the pain. Something better. That doesn't seem like such a bad thing does it? To have hope, even when everything seems hopeless.
And I think this game was made for people who don't believe in happy endings like me. I've been hurt and betrayed so many times, I've lost count. So, I'm very hard to befriend and get to know. I rarely let people in, because I don't want to be hurt again. I'd started to think that love doesn't really conquer all.
I was wrong. It does. You just have to be brave and strong enough to make your own happy end, if you don't like the one handed to you. Fate is ours to choose...is it not?
Hope you have been doing well
thanks for this. I really needed to hear that, and this story drove it home. this feeling is why I love stories so much. they may be fiction, but they're true

I have a cute little fact here-the flower in Tragedy’s hair seems to be a crocus, which is one of the flowers representing sapphic love as Sappho herself wrote about them in her poems 🥰
so she does love the maiden!!
I love that :,) this game is so cute, and the metaphor makes so much sense now that I think about it.
OH MY GOD THATS SO ADORABLE
That's so sweet 😳💕
eyo
IT'S SO COOL how every perspective has a different colour tone in the artwork (apart from the true ending when every color was used together)
also it's hilarious how mark got all the letters in the opposite order from what he was supposed to get them in
I like in the true endings the current character is the main color used
@@megastormy497 yeah fr
@@megastormy497 still gotta add the color tone for the perspective
the end was actually so sweet and..relatable. this game did an excellent job portraying real struggles of actual people, and did it in a unique way.
I love how the closer you get to the "true ending", the more the colors of the different characters mixes up.
i didnt even notice, thanx for the detail :D
at some point i got distracted from the screen, and couldn't even tell which character is telling the story at the moment, because of all the colors. that's so cool~
@@-hanayaka-5063 the colours are mixed up because that's the point at which all the characters start telling the same story
and that's why when the overlord kills the underling it's not a true ending since the underling didn't get to see the ending
I hadn't noticed that! you're so right!
@Instagram User can you NOT be edgy
The look on marks face when he realized the voice he had given to tragedy did not quite match what was behind the mask 😂
that's exactly what I was thinking lol
He's just like; "God.. God damn. This happens to me all the time." *Immediately switches voice.*
Gotta admit, if Tragedy just looked identical to the player that voice would work almost perfectly.
And.. That'd also lead to a more insane ending, and another bad ending, because that'd be oddly fitting. Almost in a slightly morbid way.
In the end tragedy was just a future version of yourself somehow. You're just in the loop forever now. Just as you're about to get a happy ending, SIKE-
Fitting end for Bad End theater. Kind of? A bit too morbid for.. Anyone's tastes, really. But naturally, that would never work for what the story was actually going for.
Honestly I think a few games have already done that, though.. Quite a few..
(INB3 little nightmares 2)
@@grodygibsonlcd8038 sweet ending. Not morbid. In meh opinion
id like to think that tragedy had a voice modifer, so that we wouldnt know her true identity by her voice
holy you're right
1:20:34 is easily the funniest part, it's just so chill for a good minute, straight into "what the fuck?" 😂
Also can we respect the fact while the credits played Mark was talking but as soon as the lyrics started he went quiet; allowing us to listen to such a great song.
The person who made this game made a wonderful story, it would be great to see this developer go on to make bigger games or just simply continue making games in their own style.
I come back to this video and rewatch it every few months and every single time I'm bawling by the end of it
I JUST DID THAT :D
this is so real honestly
You really know it’s a great and heartfelt game when Mark is deeply into finding the characters’ voices.
"tragedy's end"
a truly fitting double meaning of an ending for an equally as artistic game. This is a true masterpiece. also cudos on the voices lol
Hits you right in the feels
I really love that someone else noticed that. It doesn’t say tragedy’s true ending because its officially an ending for the character we marked as tragedy but also an end to the tragedy that took place for the game to happen. Absolutely beautiful.
is tragedy's end based on a true story? maybe from the game creator's experience or something? I've been trying to find something online but I don't see anything.
@@orihallmark Apparently the creator had a contriverisal relationship earlier in her life which will lead us towards an argument about morality (and I will not discuss about). I believe Tragedy's true end is likely to be based off a real story, but despite the apparent "good" end where Tragedy is reunited with her lover in the final story... I think her earlier comments leading into the final story indicate her story didn't have a good ending.
@@underscoredfrisk ah I see, that really sucks :(
At first when it ended I though jeez that is a really cheesy ending, but then after a moment it set in and i started crying. Absolutely amazing. Unrelated, but the amount of combinations for the different behaviors and characters is exactly 65536.
Shit's like undertale
Oh god the ending felt so deeply personal to me. In comparison to my own story, which is scarily similar, it genuinely made me cry. I hope to have my own happy ending some day, where my love returns to me, but seeing tragedy get their own gives me that hope.
Honestly same, it’s been so long but I hold out hope.
I like how, at the final bit, "Tragedy's End" can also be interpeted as the end of tragedy in the game since every single character got a happy ending they were satisfied with.
Wait is there any other way to interpret that?
@@staticchimera44 merely as the revealing of “tragedy’s” story and tragedy getting their happy ending. Easy to miss the detail that it’s truly an end to all tragedy. So basically could be interpreted as the character’s ending or the ending of that emotional feeling itself
@@silentreaper5805 Ahhh I see. I always saw it as just Tragedy's character end but that makes sense.
I love how this entire story can be summarized with “Thespian Lesbian gets whacked in the head by her secret lover because she keeps bullying all her OC’s”
I love it lmao
LMFAO YOURE A GENIUS
I’m being called out unintentionally :(
Also, they're a hypocrite
"A self insert story? How passe."
Also Tragedy: *has Maiden and Overlord in the story be literally them and Comedy (as people seem to call the second person)*
HAHAHA
pretty much
Sobbing because of how deeply beautiful this story was. Very touching, endless thanks to Mark for playing it
as a bisexual woman, as someone who was raised Catholic, as someone who's had to learn to do what makes me happiest no matter what others think and as a natural pessimist, this game means a lot to me.
sometimes we don't know what's best for us... god bless
The moment Markiplier pauses and looks at the camera when Tragedy calls him a masochist got me laughing audibly.

I love how Mark was about to give his final opinion on the game, and when the singing started, He stopped talking immediately. It truly shows how much he loved this game, even before he saw the true ending.
Edit: Also I'll mention he didn't say A THING during the song. He made sure the song was over before speaking.
Honestly loved that part as well. It's such a small gesture but shows how much he respects the effort put into the game.
I know right, just giving the spotlight to the song out of respect
There are so many people on this platform who would have talked over it, and not really cared. Markiplier is a class act on a whole 'nother level.
He would do the same to every game which makes him an even more respectful gamer. Waiting till experience everything the game has to offer until he takes his part
I just appreciate it because the singing is as nice.
Tragedy's ending at the very end is pretty much my entire story, losing someone in a way I would not like to say, to starting something that would eventually lead us together after a few years.
Truly warms my heart
The moment I read "For all your tragedies, I'll write happy endings." I immediately knew that you the player are Comedy. That realisation was such a beautiful moment that made the ending that much sweeter
Mark while playing this: Demons aren't so bad
Also Mark: *Ripping and tearing in Doom*
i was never really into romance and cliche stuff, but god this was my breaking point. loved this with all my heart.
Honestly same although i must admit i was sensing some romance between the maiden and the overlord throughout the whole thing.
@@veracaide1373 well that's the point of the story. The fiction of the bad end theater was inspired by the real events tragedy went through, and who knows that may be a layer deeper where the whole game of fiction was based on the real life experiences of the creator. And honestly it makes sense after seeing the ending and looking back on it. The maiden and the overlord very clearly had a very special relationship and one that was always doomed to fail because of the community around them. The townspeople can't accept that the maiden would befriend a demon, in most endings the hero doesn't really believe or does nothing to really help the situation and the demons who try to start an uprising don't allow the relationship to exist even if all of that is circumvented.
@@alecbormia4523 i’m aware lmao i watched the video. I’m just saying that as someone who doesn’t often ship people i was shipping the maiden and the overlord from the start.
@@thechristfollower1723 You wanted it to be more pronounced?
Probably because while they have a romance factor there’s also redemption arc for the demons and the overlord also for the hero every character has a redemption arc and it’s played masterfully
i had a feeling the maiden and overlord would be together from their first interaction and i was very pleased at the ending
A fated romance
Literally same
this is a masterpiece, it portrays different realities we have to face. as a person who literally portrays everything i see read or watch yeah, i found this an extremely good game definitely 11.9/10 recommended, leaving my thoughts here before i find my bad ending.
The misery all felt so normal, that's how life just is, barely any emotional reaction, but the end, the very end, that got me sobbing. It was beautiful. Thanks for playing this through, Mark.
bahaha me too i'm sobbing
Same here, it was unexpected and great!
Oh thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who cried xD
THIS OH MY GOD
Me too I’m glad I’m not the only sappy sucker crying here ;-; TwT
"you must be as much of a masochist as me!"
*mark stares in discontent at the audience, knowing what everyone is thinking.*
Can we just stand and applause for Mark's good voice acting HAHAHA
2:55
Got me like 😃😀🙂😐🤨
The moment of clarity that the player was "Comedy" hit with the final line of the credits song and I was eagerly waiting for Mark to figure it out since it didn't seem like the game was going to tell you.
I had a feeling the player is comedy as soon as he found his first letter
I mean I think he figured it out, at least partially, when he learnt the narrator was called 'Tragedy'
1:01:06 He does figure it out lol
@Instagram User genuinely be quiet, that kind of promotion isn't getting you anywhere
@@lampreygaming8407 just report them
“Speeky dooman” now sits at number one of the best things I have ever heard Mark say. I was crying with laughter.
Ill never forget "you've gotta keep your count aselfable!" (Intense mentality anguish ensues)
"Speeky dooman" just makes me think of a talking shit monster
Sammeeeee
Same!!
@Beast v2🔥 stfu that’s completely not ok to say. And you don’t even have any content
1:25:45 bro liked the music so much he just shut up and listened 😭😭
I know it's nice I got to listen to it
1:17:49 Ah, don't you know? To give clothes to someone who has none, to me THAT would make you a hero in your own way.
"There are worst fates, I've seen them." Sounds so raw out of context lol
timestamp please?

Mark: "Humans are scary"
Also Mark: "Speaky Doomen"

@Savetion 100k TH-cam GOD wtf
Where was that part in the vid cause I don't think I was paying attention
the bots have gone too far
actually they’ve crossed the line a long time ago but this is a new record
When the game credits roll and you're already so satisfied but then it hits you in the heart.
Marks voice acting when he’s tragedy will forever be in my heart 💕
"My mother once told me to do my homework but i did not do it so i got locked in the basement and had no food for about two weeks in a row and i could not escape no matter what i tried to do i pryed at the door and tried to pick the lock and screamed for help but no one came for me and every thing was getting dark and i was just so tired and i was so cold then the darkness crept through the crack in my door to claim my soul and dragged me kicking and screaming to the under world" --- Mark 2022

The writing for this game is really good, when you figure out what the story represents you can look back and see all the hints that allude to the truth.
I was extremely impressed with the writing early on. It felt like story-boarding your own story, but turning it into an experience, meanwhile addressing futility, peer pressure, expectations, going against the grain; as well as hope, tenacity, and whatever the other two terms the characters were assigned in the boss battle. The concept of tragedy and comedy in tandem like yin and yang, a direct allusion to the relationship Tragedy had with their partner, despite their families/backgrounds forcing them apart. The line about "we always loved the stories where true love conquers all" fucking broke me. Especially knowing their fate. I truly want to support this artist/artists and follow whatever they're doing next.
Plus, the song during the credits. fuck
I'd forgotten about this game, then the recommendations suggested it to me again.
I have to say, this whole thing was amazing in such a simple package.
And yes Mark, I loved the voices you gave to them.
3:05 what the FUC
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Seriously though, such a good game. Tragedy’s ending hit really close to home for me
HOW DID YOU KNOW IM CRYING?? T-T
@@ShayyShayyv I'd be weirded out if someone WASN'T crying
@@daffyto9351 yea, same

This game is truly an emotional trip and i also enjoy Mark narration throughout this game and the credit song is just the icing on the cake. Truly 10/10
@Red 🧢 For you, there is no happy ending
@@luciomainbtw7064 YOOOOO- the best burn i have ever heard :y
@@luciomainbtw7064 Dear god they were so utterly defeated by that burn they deleted their own comment
I love that music in the credits. Comedy discovering the theater and thinking of Tragedy. Then the actual ending, amazing
i love how poetic "tragedy's end" is
like, its that characters ending, but also the end to all the suffering
Everyone's talking about the underling or the relationship between the overlord and the maiden/tragedy and comedy but the hero has such good writing. To not know what will get you accepted or successful and force your future into misery and confusion because of other people's ideals and beliefs.
Think about it, the only time the hero is doing what he wants is when he's making a costume. Either the maiden, the crowd or his "duty and legacy" seem to always decide for him beforehand. I bet a lot of people can relate to that.
A lot of guys can relate to that.
It's subtle, but there. You have a duty to yourself, and what makes you happy. Being yourself is the best way to be, your best self.
the endings that got me the most were the ones where the hero fails without dying, and he questions what being a hero truly means. it reminds me of one of my favorite sayings: “you either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
He’s happening making costumes right? Hear me out, he makes wedding dresses for the maiden and overlord. The Underling and be the ring barer or marry the two and they can also get an outfit tailored by the Hero
@@tacossmiley yes
I DID NOT EXPECT TRAGEDY'S LOVE TO BE THE MC... THAT WAS GORGEOUS IM CRYING
the credit song was a really nice way to reveal it too. I was already enjoying the song and then once the second half kicked in, the revelation hit. Like, oh damn no wonder one letter mentions their love always listening to their entire stories till the end while another speaks about them convincing them to try a good ending *and then* you only unlock the final ending by listening to every story and trying to change it to a good ending. If you exit the theatre early then you are just another random audience member. A stranger who grew weary of the bad endings. You only get the truest ending by doing what their truest love would do: stay to finish and then make it happier.
A masochist and another masochist inlove. Beautiful???
oops I spoiled myself
Com.ed.y
Music is such a lovely, beautiful, tragic, sad, amazing thing. It’s effect on the mood, the tone, and audience, is unexplainable. The music at the end got me shivering, and that still happens when I listen to it. Developers, you have made something truly heartwarming.
I love how when you play a true end, the colors of the story include all 4.
Me: this game won’t make me cry
Also me: _casually starts bawling_
Casually? I'm ugly crying 😢
Literally me
mild hysteria with some tears. Took a while to get there but in the end it got there beautifully.
@@bluerivers9865 I've never "Pretty cried", so... I guess I'm just an ugly crier. Though, I suppose that's because I have such a will that I don't cry unless it's just too much to bear. Perhaps, however, there have been times when I've shed a single tear, whilst barely holding myself together. Those are the only moments when it's climactic. But, unfortunately, the only time it was not dramatic or fitting to do so, maybe even funny in a sense, was when I was in middle school. I had been walking to my seat, eager to eat my deliciously smelling food, when the antagonist of most of my tales, my "school bully", had tripped me on my way to my chair. I fell, of course, and my meal had flown from their spots on my tray into the air, and fallen, almost comically, onto my head. My hat, which had been flung off of my head due to the force and speed of my fall catching the brim of my baseball cap, had then landed upside down on my tray, staining the top in an extremely obvious place. I got up onto my knees, placed my hands on my lap, and barely held it together as a single tear fell from my cheek onto my hand.
Now that I look back, however, it appears that this tale wasn't as funny as I had initially thought anymore... Well, I apologize for rambling.
what why
Yo Lixian killed me with that sudden, "Maybe if you finished college..." snap out of nowhere
Also that, "I love you" at the end caught me right in the feels!!
Lixian has no chill and I love it

The ending of this game has me openly sobbing every time I play it/watch someone play, its so beautiful honestly, I love this game
I've been hearing the ending song for Bad End Theater for probably a year or so now on Spotify, and I've always enjoyed it, so seeing this video, I knew I had to watch it, and I'm blown away by everything. The creator did an amazing job on this game, and you did a great job sharing it, as always.
isnt it strange that none of the stories or characters made me sad or cry at all, but the little song near the end had me almost sobbing?
Same. The endings are sad but dont have as much emotion as music usually does.
Truly. Some music seem like they were made to make you cry lol
I thought I was the only one (all the comments saying that the story was super sad)
Its to real For you not to
@@anapple6912 most likely a vocaloid. I wonder which one though?
This one killed me inside, especially toward the ending. Relationship not being supported by family and community hits close to home. My anxious and deprecating thoughts consistently making me expect and imagine the worst ending for my boyfriend and I. But despite these worries, he's always there. Always working to fight my dark thoughts. I think he's my happy ending.
that's so sweet
Keep living your happiest man. We’re all rooting for you
Aw I can absolutely relate with you with this. I had the same thoughts and expecting the worst attitude for the longest time when I was dating my ex. The relationship ended for reasons outside of the issues you’re highlighting, but regardless during that time we were dating it really felt like it was us vs the world, especially because they’d been brought up in such a shitty household and I had really bad anxiety about how my family would feel about our relationship. It was a really sweet albeit tumultuous time in my life, and this game outlines the kinda emotions felt in such a time oh so perfectly. If anything I just wish I embraced the highs and lows as much as I could when they happened; it was all beautiful looking back at it. Regardless, I wish you and your partner all the best in your lives. Love is a magical thing and I’m so happy for you guys :)
Why you make me cri 😖😖
I hope you guys are still doing well! Stories like yours keep me going
i love how they put the nonbinary in there. when everyone gets to be thereself the underling is shown to be themself. AHHH I LOVE THIS GAME.
No matter how many times I watch this the ending makes me tear up.
