bro, you know it. I have watched everysingle video pretty much since they release for the past year. It is so entertaining, no matter what the video is about. I love him man!
you know im not mad at smiity stretching the video to meet that 10 minute mark cause it doesnt feel sleezy its just him realizing that the game was insanely short and coming up with random dialogue to fill the time and I love it.
It's my top two puzzle game ever, next to The Witness. A great game indeed, so much thought put into it, a million cool easter eggs, great story, great atmosphere, great puzzles
I can’t wait to see more Dark and Darker uploads! That was my favorite, it was the only thing keeping me sane!! Praying that a new upload is in the future!
My favorite part was the storyline… the heartbreak of no one wanting to shake his hand… he woke up from his nightmare to be given one last handshake… Quality 2023 video
Smii7y is the only youtuber that I'll never get mad at for stretching his 5 minute video to 12 minutes, i feel like he is really connected to us and we always understand him
*This game is an utter masterpiece.* A firm handshake, although short, is a game with different perplexing and almost thought provoking scenarios occurring at every turn and plotshift. The fact that this game is short is what really helps it convey it's story and it's concept(s), think of this: The moment the game starts you are met with the obvious but enticing objective, subtle hint to your controls and simple surroundings letting even a person who has never played a videogame before understand. Once you shake a hand for the first time you are met with a small cutscene(1:10), this cutscene undoubtedly excited me, the subtle yet firm handshake of the sturdy mens arms, their brown suits correlating with the relaxing background and last, but certainly not least, the small tip of their chin leading your mind into imagining the rest of their face and body. *The games message.* You start of in a state of succes with business partners lining up to your door waiting for their hands to be shook. But, later the clients loose interest, both in the company and you, you are forgotten. But you're still in search of greatness, you persistently ask for help, never assessing or judging people by their succes. instead you follow them based on their willingness to trust and to help you. When finally, you meet the one, you combat your way through the vexing and negative thoughts of your past, the people who laughed and left you behind to vanish (Clearly the sumo wrestlers represent obstacles in your way). when finally you earn that golden opportunity of succes. even waking up in the morning the first thing you set your mind to is shaking your new *best friend.*
The creator spent more time on the credit than on the pitch, the scenario and the storyboard altogether. I'm kinda "pissed" (I'm not, I didn't buy the game) by the fact he could clearly have done more levels... The nightmare thing with the guys refusing to shake hands could have been a start, clearly one can play around the concept, but he didn't. But in the end, it's part of the experience. Now we truly understand that sometimes, there is nothing more than a handshake behind a handshake. (Nah, not even, there is not even a morale, who am I kidding?)
The story of a start-up company getting investors, foreign business deals, losing it all, and getting back up after all the failure to try again. Amazing!!!!
I think Plug and Play is a similar vibe. I don't know if you've tried it or not but it's definitely similar to this in the kind of quiet, surrealist puzzle genre
Honestly love that Smii7y is able to find games he enjoys and puts them out even if they might not do the best. It makes for enjoyable content when the creator is able to actually have fun with it
This coming out just a few days before the annual solitaire April fool's feels appropriate. Like smii7y saying "I'll give you 10 minutes of almost completely silent solitaire gameplay and you'll watch all of it, deal?"
Man, this had some borderline Plug and Play energy. Which, speaking of surreal indie games, is definitely up there in terms of surrealism. Also pretty short in terms of gameplay, but I know the dev(s?) behind that have made some other stuff that fits the bill for what you’re looking for, Smii7y
You should play both Limbo and Inside (Same developers and especially if you don't remember Inside which you already mentioned), and/or Little Nightmares 1 and 2. Right up your alley.
I get the "no one wants to shake his hand" Segment. See, after that part, he wakes up in his bed, so the business partners not wanting to shake his hand was a nightmare he was having and it wasn't really happening.
The fact Smii7y makes games like these entertaining to WATCH, we ain’t even playing we watching him play these game and it is amazing 😂😂😂 I LOVE THE EDITING SKILLS THE TIMING IS ALWAYS ON POINT BRO
I'd like to point out that not only did we watch and most likely enjoy a video, where Smii7y was shaking hands for 12 minutes, but it's also #12 on trending.
A short hike is the perfect game for you to play. It's indie, but cute with a lot of character and really funny subplots. You are a small bird trying to climb/ glide up a mountain so you can call your mom because there is no phone service. 10/10
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think Oh, by the way, which one's pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it riding the gravy train...
Honestly I wanna see smii7y playing "the witness", its a puzzle game and I really like it, part of me just wants to see smii7y despair over it, but I would gladly watch it on your channel
If you are looking for some more "liminal games like you said, I can recommend; inside, limbo, superliminal, Far ( Lone Sails and Changing Tides) , little nightmares (I and II) and kids. I can't remember all of them as of typing this comment but I think these are all pretty good games. I'm a long time fan and am excited to see where you go with your channel. ❤
The drama,the romance, the action....this...this is the perfect concept
It should be a movie
indeed
A buissnes movie
How about untitled swan
Manifold garden is the game you where wanting its exactly what you described
This might be the closest I've personally ever seen Smii7y to socializing

saw it once in the IRL minigolf video - scary sight to be sure (not actually ofcourse)

Damn
@@MrKrimson did you say “not actually of course” because it was “on course”… like golf course? Get it? Okay. I’ll leave.
I love how the character’s nightmare is just that he can’t shake anyone’s hand.
He’s just a little guy that loves handshakes lmao
.
I have to be committed to the Smii7y Fandom if I can sit here and watch him be a gentleman in game for ten minutes.
bro, you know it. I have watched everysingle video pretty much since they release for the past year. It is so entertaining, no matter what the video is about. I love him man!
7 mins and like 3 mins of credits lol
@@CT-2525-k7znpc
Or.... not. I mean I just found this video, never seen the creator before and here I am.
@@tanuki_gold634 i hope you sticked around because this mans videos are incredible
SMii7Y is the only person that can make me watch 11 mins and 30 seconds of just handsakings 😂
More like 7 minutes and a chat😂
‘Insert any youtuber’ is the only person who can make me watch an 11 min and 30 second vid of ‘insert random unfunny bit’
Congrats. 🐑
@@burner-pp7bs ok
@@synergy8879ok
at this point i just wanna listen to him talking xD it's my safespace ^^
6:42, the way he says "good morning" is so satisfying
you know im not mad at smiity stretching the video to meet that 10 minute mark cause it doesnt feel sleezy its just him realizing that the game was insanely short and coming up with random dialogue to fill the time and I love it.
Also a very nice voice to listen to. Makes me smile
it’s been an 8 minute mark for a long time now
Manifold garden is the game you where wanting its exactly what you described
True! and with the beautiful music in the background aswell😊
What Terminator said, it's 8 minutes for ages now.
Only Smii7y can stretch an 8 minute game to an 11 minute video.
With edits and cuts
@@mickeydeez_0906 and *cuts.*
Idea for a video, (and another person to see games for) kids. That's the name.
Kids
Very surreal. Especially plug and play.
8 minute game?
@@butnobodycame7022 either way he stretched a short game to 11 minutes
First half of the video: smii7y tries to make business deals with random people
Second half: listening to calming music while smii7y talks
I'm still questioning how smii7y makes a 11 minute video about handshakes so entertaining
Cuz you’re simple minded
Only Smii7y could make a handshake simulator entertaining 😂
yup
This was solitaire all over again!
Aliensrock would like to know your location.
5:23 man he really just passed up the opportunity to yell "i wanna shake your hand. LET ME SHAKE YOUR HAND."
This has vibes like plug and play, dear lord I haven't thought about that game in years. Would definitely qualify as a surreal puzzle game
Yeah! Absolutely!
Or KIDS which I believe are made by the same people
Ikr
I saw plug in play for the first time from jelly😢
So it was YOU!
The talos principle is a super under rated puzzle game, gets kind of philosophical and is truly wonderful
I’d love to see him play that!
It's my top two puzzle game ever, next to The Witness. A great game indeed, so much thought put into it, a million cool easter eggs, great story, great atmosphere, great puzzles
I love how Smii7y just watches the credits to make the video long enough
What a roller coaster of emotion. Action, romance, comedy, it has it all. What a great game with a great story and such great atmosphere
SMii7Y could make watching paint dry funny as hell
Incidentally, there’s a Half-Life mod that’s all about watching paint dry, and it gets wild.
o no, we don't need another RT situation to happen again!
@@ezyne_officialwas that about RT game? What was the incident about?
What if he takes this idea and runs with it causing a 3rd side to the power washing and lawnmowing simulators? It sounds like something he would do.
I can’t wait to see more Dark and Darker uploads! That was my favorite, it was the only thing keeping me sane!! Praying that a new upload is in the future!
My favorite part was the storyline… the heartbreak of no one wanting to shake his hand… he woke up from his nightmare to be given one last handshake…

bro they give credit for fuckin sound effects lol
@@michaeltagor4238 sound effects make or break a game
Smii7y is the only person that could make a video of this and keep my attention the entire time
Gotta love how smi77y turns a video on a firm handshake into #18 on gaming
This shows how dedicated his fanbase is. We just sit here and watch whatever the hell he posts lmao
Reminds me of RTGame streaming watching paint dry.

You, fine sir, have much imagination.
@@EddieOtool Thank you, my sophisticated fellow.
This is definitely one of the games of all time.
At this point I don't know what is worse, Smii7y playing these games or the fact that I still sit here and watch all of them 🤣
Why are we here, just to watch Smii7y?
If Smitty is going to do more of this content I’d suggest playing 2 or 3 of these short games in a row like other people have.
Pikuniku is a weird and funny game, would love to see you play it
smii7y is the only person who can make 11 minutes of great content out of a 5 minute game
Love how much freedom big creators like Smii7y have with games cuz it just lets me watch my favourite creator do the dumbest shit
If anyone is wondering, the credits song is Arabesque. I’m learning it on piano :)
the fact that they got this many credits for this is hilarious. genuinely gave EVERYONE and they mama a credit line here
The creator spent more time on the credit than on the pitch, the scenario and the storyboard altogether.
I'm kinda "pissed" (I'm not, I didn't buy the game) by the fact he could clearly have done more levels...
The nightmare thing with the guys refusing to shake hands could have been a start, clearly one can play around the concept, but he didn't.
But in the end, it's part of the experience.

(Nah, not even, there is not even a morale, who am I kidding?)
A true gentlemans game😂
True tho
Hand
Handshake simulator
yeah but the small plat he got the biggest pain
I'll be ur gentleman 😍
love to see you play baba is you its a puzzle game that starts out really easy then quickly gets hard
The game’s a masterpiece. The intrigue, the suspense, the raw emotion! Gotta love it 😂
The fact that I actually watched till the end really shows how entertaining SMii7Y really is lmao.
The story of a start-up company getting investors, foreign business deals, losing it all, and getting back up after all the failure to try again.
Amazing!!!!
This was a truly life changing experience, I'll never be the same
The silence and "abandoned" mood the game gives off reminds me of the witness. Highly recommend it
This was better than the entire spider man trilogy hands down! Pure art! 👌 Chefs kiss!
Smitty: “We gotta stretch this to 10 minutes”
Me: *looks at clock* “Yea I got nothin else goin on”
I think Plug and Play is a similar vibe. I don't know if you've tried it or not but it's definitely similar to this in the kind of quiet, surrealist puzzle genre
Inside is so good! Please play it!
Love it when Smii7y makes solo content, it’s refreshing to watch chill funny videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Muricans parroting refreshing is ironically the most stale bs going.
And no. Smii7y solo is not enjoyable. He needs his friends to be funny
Honestly love that Smii7y is able to find games he enjoys and puts them out even if they might not do the best. It makes for enjoyable content when the creator is able to actually have fun with it
1:54 “this is like America, where’s my n-“ 👀🤣🤣🤣
What a masterpiece of a game. Reminds me of the game "kids"
This coming out just a few days before the annual solitaire April fool's feels appropriate. Like smii7y saying "I'll give you 10 minutes of almost completely silent solitaire gameplay and you'll watch all of it, deal?"
Wow what a beautiful storyline
As soon as I saw the art style I immediately asked myself "is this the guy who made the creepy heist game?" and he just instantly confirmed it
Only smii7y can make watching the whole credits entertaining 😂
As much as I like Smii7y and the gang goofing around, I love when it’s solo videos just as much
Love how Smii7y posts a video of just simulated handshakes and I’m still watching it like it’s the next Marvel movie 😂
Man, this had some borderline Plug and Play energy. Which, speaking of surreal indie games, is definitely up there in terms of surrealism. Also pretty short in terms of gameplay, but I know the dev(s?) behind that have made some other stuff that fits the bill for what you’re looking for, Smii7y
Speaking of which, has Smii7y ever played Plug and Play?
@@sealover7134 I don’t believe so. He doesn’t have a video of that, at the very least

😂 Gotta really read into the game here, It's kinda like kids books where the synopsis on the back is longer than the actually book
I'm moved and utterly speechless by this masterpiece
You wait, the "A Firm Handshake" DLC packs are gonna be fucking amazing!
The fact Smii7y makes games like these entertaining to WATCH, we ain’t even playing we watching him play these game and it is amazing 😂😂😂 I LOVE THE EDITING SKILLS THE TIMING IS ALWAYS ON POINT BRO
I wanna see SMii7Y make a video on “Plug & Play” or “Kids”. Both would be hilarious
Bump
What I find very impressive about this video is that SMii7Y somehow stretched this video to about 11 minutes and still made it really fun to watch
Smii7y could literally make a channel were he and his friends just talk and it would be funny as hell 😂😂😂
You definitely need to try ‘The Looker’, a genuinely funny, surreal puzzle game that matches exactly what you’re looking for
Ya
Smi77y never fails to make me laugh
I'd like to point out that not only did we watch and most likely enjoy a video, where Smii7y was shaking hands for 12 minutes, but it's also #12 on trending.
#8 now
This reminds me of ‘plug and play’ that game was so weird
Only smitty can make a random game very fun and entertaining
Good handshake! Did not dissapoint! 10/10 would try again
the talos principle is a good puzzle game
I can not believe he streched out the ending that far 😭😭
This is how I imagine working in business works
You should play Far: Lonely Sails and Far: Changing Tides. They have similar gameplay to Inside but without the creepiness.
This was definitely worth the handshake.
I’d love to see a series of the gang trying to find each other on no man’s sky 😂👍🏻
I literally just found out about this channel like an hour ago and I'm upset I didn't find it sooner
Only Smii7y could make this entertaining 💀
Smii7y Never fails to make me laugh my ass off :)
This game is like a Kid's in the Hall sketch.
Anything can be entertaining when smii7y does it I swear 😂
A short hike is the perfect game for you to play. It's indie, but cute with a lot of character and really funny subplots. You are a small bird trying to climb/ glide up a mountain so you can call your mom because there is no phone service. 10/10
im so excited to watch this video, sure hope it doesnt have handshakes, irrational fear. you know how it be
Yo, you alright?
I need more of Smii7y and John power washing in my life
Can't wait for someone to speedrun this game
recently my hand broke and these weirdly good videos always make my day
yes, typing with 1 hand is hard, spelling takes long to correct
Only SMii7Y would be able to get 10 minutes of content from a game like this
Today I learned I would do business with Smii7y 🤝
I can't remember if you played it already, but it would be hilarious to watch you play Guts & Glory.
2 surreal puzzle games I really enjoyed plaything through were The Witness and the Turing Test
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far
You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train...
Honestly I wanna see smii7y playing "the witness", its a puzzle game and I really like it, part of me just wants to see smii7y despair over it, but I would gladly watch it on your channel
More Smi77y playthroughs, I support, I side is so good and I'd love your reaction to it all

You should play Anemoiapolis if you like surreal games.
Very different game but i would love to see you play shotgun king, its an indie rougelike but its basically Chess 2
Smity even with a short vid like this it makes me laugh and smile
-chair simulator
-stone simulator
Ur minecraft ,golf and stickman always goated
Randomly got this recommended and haven't subscribed faster!
Play "Suck Up!", very funny game with AI interactions and goofy gameplay
a new game "gunsmith simulator" would love to see it
A firm HandSnake.
