They DID explain how the loop happens. It said in the documents that "We have reason to suspect that it can feed itself in this manner ad infinitum using some fashion of temporal anomaly, repeating the same few minutes of its hunting spree until sated on flesh," so that means the monster is looping time to eat over and over again.
Imagine working at a lab like this and not getting paid. "Hey, I know I'm helping the world from literally splitting apart almost, but can I still get some cash so I can pay the bills?
Very nice game! It's actually kinda fortunate that the escaped SCP has an apparently insatiable hunger... It would be very unfortunate if they gets satisfied and terminates the loop after a few hunts. For the humans, I mean. I found it really impressive how Manly can read out loud faster than I read by eyes... And how he always picks up clues within like a second.

Coming back to this because it's great - I love the pause after saying the coffee tastes like garbage because it makes you think you're about to get scolded, but then she's all "Nah it's fine."
This game would have been even darker if there were 2 monsters, one killing everyone and the eldritch time shifting thingy thats actually also getting killed and is keeping you alive to find a way to kill the other one. But you cant figure out a way to do that so you kill the eldritch monster, escaping the torturous timeloop but everyone still dies.
I think the game does hint that there is a second monster that is causing the time loop, beside the fact the protagonist wonders if that is case right before he dies, when you go down to the basement where the monster you have to kill resides, there are 2 other locked doors besides his.
This was a really interesting game, i know your kind heart likes to give all games equal attention but this one here man, great concept for an rpg maker game, everyone can make an rpg maker game but it takes skill to make it into something unique like this here
this is honestly a great short game about looping and finding different info at different attempts. 0:12 loop 0 0:54 loop 1 6:03 loop 2 11:08 loop 3 15:38 loop 4 20:45 loop 5 24:10 loop 6 so what's the password for subject 5003? also any other alternate endings?
I find it really funny how manly goes for a hl2 joke when he needs to put a can in the trash can, and yet makes no comment on the Npc that straight up quotes a scientist from the first hl
Everyone should show respect to Manly, he playing literally ANY RPG game, or just horror-related one that have been out nearly a day ago! They all have opportunity to add a Bucket of Soul in their games by now, we all understand the reference anyways.
"SCP" "Normal Janitor Job" Pick one. *--------------* Still, this game was brilliant, for the span that it was given to be created. The horror is in the fact that you are defying a paracausal beast that controls time, forcing everyone to relive this short, brutal existence ad infinitum for the sole purpose of sating its hunger. I love the Majora's Mask feel that the game gives: doing one task in the short time you have, getting more information with each short cycle, before you can take down the eldritch abomination for good.
@@piss7610 So, if I don't acknowledge something you see, does it mean that I didn't notice it, and thus, it makes me stupid? Very presumptive of you. Did you even bother to read the rest of my post that shows otherwise? And why do you feel the need to belittle a stranger? Kindly reevaluate your statement.
Kinda interesting as the game has his own pace and you as Laurence are thrown in a "usual shitty day of work" at this SCP facility (from the messy shirt you could tell Laurence don't give a damn anymore and his suicidal options are mostly depression symptoms) BUT it doesn't matter what you do (will never have the time to clean up all the mess or listen to everybody as the game timer after reaching a certain point put you in the same situation over and over). The fact seems to be that after reading the Boss documents this subject #5002 *already killed everyone* and is time looping the event of everyone death over and over until is "full" The "it happened over and over" bit and the "maybe some other monster in the facility want you alive" is trying to give an explanation on how Laurence is still alive after the light's got out and everybody else is already death (if the monster is so quick to kill why Laurence is still around?) It isn't clear if Laurence remember what happened after each loop or is trying to figure out how to make it end. This reminded me of the old flash game "No-one has to die"
17:59 in the moment this bit of text is frustrating in the moment because it seems like a waste of your _extremely limited_ time but in the grand scheme of things i actually love it bc it shows that getting that totally attainable info from davis wasn't locked behind this arbitrary out-of-the-way plot point, but its still there as a hint for players who missed something and didnt know how to progress. you can read this journal entry to nudge you in the right direction but you can also get the information about cutting the life support completely independently as manly did in the vid. like..... i just get real pissed when games pull a "hey uhhhh u have the key for this door but u cant unlock it yet because u havent done the side quest about the tragic backstory of the npc who lost the key in the first place"
So 12:03 Dr. Hollow is probably a reference to Holly aka Hollowtones who voice acted one Dr. Coomer (who looks exactly like Dr. Hollow) in HLVR:AI/Half Life But The AI Is Self-Aware and said the line “You’ll just have to wait after the test” and similar lines a few times, my personal favorite being “you’ll just have to kiss Dr Freeman after the test”
omg i realized that dr.hollow is referencing dr coomer from hlvrai since he was played by ms.hollowtones and coomer said that line, that's a really cool little reference :] ANYWAYS this is a fun little game it was enjoyable watching u play!!
this was such a cool game!! concept executed super well, very unique with being stuck in a time loop and also a time limit. love the walking cycle and the puzzle aspect and there was just enough explanation
I love watching this guy sm his voice is very relaxing and im verry happy hes stuck to playing indie games and sometiems rpg maker games been here since mermaid swamp and im not leaving anytime soon :)
12:02 I think Dr. Hollow is a reference to Dr. Coomer from the TH-cam/Twitch series "Half-Life Vr, But the AI is Self-Aware." The line he says here is a line he's somewhat famous for, his model seems to be based very heavily on Coomer's, and Dr Coomer is played by Twitch streamer HollowTones, therefore "Dr. *Hollow".*

Even the janitor wanted to die just to simply get out of the repeating torturing loop.
He doesn’t even get paid because of the loop.
“I don’t get paid *nearly* enough to be put in a Groundhog Day situation so I’m gonna kill the Lovecraftian abomination my employer created.”
"I really don't get payed enough to be stuck in a time loop so im literally going to kill this Eldrich horror and fuck off"

They actually did explain the time loop. The monster could feed consecutively by redoing a loop over and over again in order to eat its fill.
So the pragmatic approach is to just drug yourself with the coffee super hard 100 times in a row and hope it ODs on the concentrated medication?
@@coltonlong2223 It would probably gain too much more mass than caffine for the latter to have much of an effect.

I had closed the video to go and vaccinate and when I opened it manly said:"hopefully you survive the day" 0:10
This was so fun! The pacing makes it a little bit of a fun puzzle and I liked the aesthetic. A cute take on the game jam theme
Finally good horror: working in public services
17:59 in the moment this bit of text is frustrating in the moment because it seems like a waste of your _extremely limited_ time but in the grand scheme of things i actually love it bc it shows that getting that totally attainable info from davis wasn't locked behind this arbitrary out-of-the-way plot point, but its still there as a hint for players who missed something and didnt know how to progress. you can read this journal entry to nudge you in the right direction but you can also get the information about cutting the life support completely independently as manly did in the vid.
like..... i just get real pissed when games pull a "hey uhhhh u have the key for this door but u cant unlock it yet because u havent done the side quest about the tragic backstory of the npc who lost the key in the first place"
I like to imagine that he licks the floor clean when there’s a spill
Ah yes nothing like watching manly all night when i was going to go to sleep nothing like giving me nightmares at night
the fact that you said "OHH NOO THE COFFEE" killed me
@2:40
I Work next in an office building next to a quarry and it it blasts, it's pretty much the same reaction as this
It isn't often that I'll stop watching a playthrough and go play the game myself, but you bet I'm going to do it for a time loop game.
2:11 "I thought that was like sprint. Turned out it wasn't."
That was the anti-sprint.
honestly i see so many scary videos and SCP is so popular that turned into horror games
(Looks like dr coomer)
(named after his VA)
(quotes coomer)
ME: *points* haha thats a reference
The original Groundhog Day loop, Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer, explained why it was happening. Highly recommend it.
Pretty cool game/concept.
So 12:03 Dr. Hollow is probably a reference to Holly aka Hollowtones who voice acted one Dr. Coomer (who looks exactly like Dr. Hollow) in HLVR:AI/Half Life But The AI Is Self-Aware and said the line “You’ll just have to wait after the test” and similar lines a few times, my personal favorite being “you’ll just have to kiss Dr Freeman after the test”
omg i realized that dr.hollow is referencing dr coomer from hlvrai since he was played by ms.hollowtones and coomer said that line, that's a really cool little reference :] ANYWAYS this is a fun little game it was enjoyable watching u play!!
I want him to read me a bed time story in his deep voice i can't be the only one
Most Horror Games: "Press Shift to Sprint"
This Game: "You could always commit _end yourself,_ in Minecraft of course."
this was such a cool game!! concept executed super well, very unique with being stuck in a time loop and also a time limit. love the walking cycle and the puzzle aspect and there was just enough explanation
I have so many questions and the first is, who had the magical idea to give life support to something like *that?*
Thank you for making me sleepless night more interesting!
Nice pfp
oh i love me a game with scp vibes
also love the 'Dr. Hollow' reference to hlvrai/Hollowtones. i see the game creator is a person of taste
I love watching this guy sm his voice is very relaxing and im verry happy hes stuck to playing indie games and sometiems rpg maker games been here since mermaid swamp and im not leaving anytime soon :)
Laurence, the First Vicar before Yharnam
5:13 the way he says "no, the coffee!!!!!!! 😢" Lmao😂 he sounds so sad, I felt bad for him ;^;😅
12:02
I think Dr. Hollow is a reference to Dr. Coomer from the TH-cam/Twitch series "Half-Life Vr, But the AI is Self-Aware." The line he says here is a line he's somewhat famous for, his model seems to be based very heavily on Coomer's, and Dr Coomer is played by Twitch streamer HollowTones, therefore "Dr. *Hollow".*
oh yes, this is definitely SCP: Secret Laboratory
Well, this HL1 scientist caught me off guard.
ha, looks like dr. hollow is a HLVRAI reference! that's neat!
Potentially a reference to Holly’s Twitch handle as well!
Edge of Tommorow (The movie based on All you Need is Kill) is pretty good
Thanks for all the inspiration and good content manly, helped me finish my first paid game c:
Keep up the good work!!
your videos make me happy and i cant say why. also your acting when a character speaks is really good
The Legend of Janitor: SCP's Mask?
I'm down with it.
This was a cool Purgatory 2 update
*ah yes, secret laboratory*
i love your content and your personality so much
Pretty unique for a RPG Maker game, especially for a Game Jam entry. Reminds me of a lot of anime with this theme too. Kudos to the devs!
@@wylser I meant the Groundhog Day type of theme going on here. Like Steins; Gate or the Re:Zero series. Never saw it for a Game Jam game so that's why I mentioned it.
@@naobeau5124 Oh, got it. Was thinking you might have a big list of similar anime that you'd recommend haha
Best thing to do is catch up on manlys videos at 3 in the morning
