Too true. It can be done well, but I feel there's definitely an oversaturation of mascot horror. Games like The Heilwald Loophole and It Steals are really cool games, and yet Garten of Banban, which is not great, overshadows them by a longshot, probably just because Banban has that "so bad it's good" quality so maybe it's better for content, idk. I just wish the ocean of mediocre mascot horror games didn't overshadow the actually creative and well-done games. And it's not like I hate mascot horror or anything, I thin FNAF did it well, Bendy and the Ink Machine was really cool; there are good mascot horror games. But as more and more games like Poppy Playtime and Garten of Banban come out, it seems like the quality of mascot horror only keeps going down.
I am really glad we got My Friendly Neighborhood recently. MFN took the Mascot Horror formular but with completely different gameplay and a wonderful story. It was a game with heart. Joyville does almost everything like Poppy or Banban. It even releases in chapters like them, so I feel this will be another cashgrab.
That's because My Friendly Neighbor isn't mascot horror. It takes the gameplay mechanics of a survival horror game and use it to make a parody of mascot horror. These generic mascot horror games try to make something that is kind of scary but not too scary for little kids, well having extremely rudimentary puzzle based gameplay. Compare that to My Friendly Neighbor which has resource management as its focus along with more esoteric puzzles akin to it's main inspiration, Resident Evil.
@@alexanderchippel Yeah I know and I really welcome that. I wish more horror games would use classic gameplay and tell stories with important messages like MFN.
Literally Joyville is just another copy of Poppy Playtime, down to the hallway character decor, the playground esthetics and even the enemies which have big beady toy eyes like Huggy Wuggy and a red-liped crooked mouth full of sharp teeth. The plot in itself is also a rip-off, with kids and employees having gone missing. Just like in Poppy Playtime, the character also doesn't talk.
@alexanderchippel idk I feel like what defines mascot horror is the character design, not the gameplay mechanics, and that's why it's named after a type of character. in that sense, mfn _is_ mascot horror; it revolves around characters that were supposed to be loveable and nonthreatening thatve gone awry. mfn just took mascot horror in a much more substantial direction when it came do actual gameplay
@@neonblkhole My Friendly Neighbor isn't a horror game. It doesn't try to be a horror game. It's a game about mascots, but it's not a horror game. It's a survival adventure game.
i love mascot horror but there HAS to be more unique and interesting ways to use this genre. this was fun to watch because it’s jack, but this market is soooo saturated. i wish someone would make a cool spin on the concept.
Jack playing horror games is too hilarious to find it scary.Finding humor in the creepiest atmospheres is a gift.Sean is a big influence on my channel and i never knew how much people would enjoy watching my playthroughs,and i have Sean to thank because he gave me the courage to give it a chance
I love how the designs are "creepy" right off the bat lmao. I mean, come on, if the creatures are supposed to be kindergarten mascots, the least you could do is have a nice cuddly version so when they do pop up, it is scarier because something happened to make them all twisted. The worm at the flower puzzle was at least unsettling in how it turned its head towards you slowly and then opened its mouth to reveal sharp teeth that weren't there before.
When i was little, my school had a D.A.R.E mascot named "Nick-o-tine" who was created to teach kids a valuable lesson about the dangers of durgs. I remember him being a horrific creature with a large body made of tabacco and feces with burning red eyes; a Mohawk made of smoke, and razor sharp teeth. They used to have life size wallpapers of him in the hallway and cafeteria. Scared the $#!% outta me as a child.
The people who develop these games clearly aren’t parents. In all the ones where a bunch of children disappear the monsters would have to deal with a hundred pissed off parents arming themselves to the teeth and busting down the door to find their children (not to mention the police). At least in Poppy Playtime the kids are supposed to be orphans.
The designs are also clear Poppy Playtime rip-offs, with the red lips, the sharp teeth and the beady black and white toy eyes and the fluffy appearance for the main monster. Huggy Wuggy worked because, as a toy, he just looks like that: a toy. As a giant mascot, he is intimidating even with his mouth closed because of how tall he looks and now he towers over the player. He then becomes horrifying when he opens his mouth in a crooked grin and sprints at you at full speed in the air ducts. Whatever this yellow thing is, would never be seen as a huge toy for kids. If just the eyes were out of its mouth it would already be a great improvement. Knowing how parents can get, no sane one would bring their kid to a play place with a mascot like that.
seriously thats the lamest part for me. Yeah its anothe mascot horror, but this time the mascots are just already nightmare monsters with nowhere to go toward MORE creepy I like the lil creepy cat I'll admit but the posters should be normal happy cute kitty, then scare me with a deformed fast little cat monster!! cash grab is just so sadly true for all these "chapter" games.
Honestly, I actually REALLY loved the part with the ominous balls dropping down the stairs, that was really neat, it actually had some great atmosphere to it. I do wish games would just get… you know… fully released at one time.
you know, devs need more money to make full game lol. Working for months is kinda exhausting when you get no feedback. Just try to make your own game with small or no budget at all, and you will realize that it is not so easy, and you will get tired after the first couple of levels.I don't justify the release in parts, but in my opinion this is the best way to make an indie studio a more or less large-scale project.
i don’t think there’s anything wrong with releasing games in chapters! it builds hype for your game, gives people time to theorize and talk about it. a lot of the time, a game released in full will be talked about for a month or two, then people’s attention shifts to something else. by releasing chapters, it reels people back in every time. it also gives devs access to money so they can make the next release even better (usually)!
To everyone saying they need money to make the rest of the game: This chapter is comically short, not transparent about being a chapter, and costs ten dollars.
not to deep it but i think jack has always enjoyed horror, it’s something he’s consistently come back to and perhaps didn’t always play as much as he’d like because of the fear of the algorithm ect but now because he’s taken breaks, he’s changed his mindset and takes care of himself, he just uploads what he likes and enjoys: a lot of which happen to be horror.
For me it’s like reading. Am I reading the same tropes over and over? Yes. Do I still have fun with it everytime Bc it’s new characters and background stories? Also yes.
I think the best part of the game is the color puzzle. The way the worm slowly moves out of the corner of your eye when you're looking at the wheel if you get it wrong, and then bears its teeth if you get it wrong again, very nice design.
I agree with Seán: This amalgamation of Childhood Horror in games is being done to death! That said, he genuinely seems to be enjoying himself, so I can’t really complain about it. So, yeah. I’m down for watching another episode if Seán feels like continuing when the next chapter is released.
Jack ignoring the thing that crept back into the sewer drain between 33:31 and 33:37 because he was too occupied running from the monster is definitely a jack thing haha
Seeing the art of Wooly for the first time after going up the elevator Me: “He’s so cute!!” Jack: “The only thing this appeals to is.. someone with a very bad child hood” Me: 👁️👄👁️
This game has a lots of potential and it's really well made for their first chapter, i just wishes that joyville doesnt really take too much of inspiration from poppy playtime, but to be more unique and different way. Because the vibe, design, names, and concept. It really takes heavy inspiration from poppy playtime for what i'm seeing. But still it was a well made game

It must be great for a small game studio to see a youtuber play their game, but with the sheer volume of mascot horror games there is no new ground being broken. Nothing separates them from one another other than the mascot they make, solve some puzzles, monster tease, monster chase, solve more puzzles. Although i enjoy watching these, i have no desire to play them.

I would LOVE IT if someone made a horror game where the scary monsters were legit the cutest things ever!! 😂😂😂😂😂 and the good monsters were scary looking!❤
i'm personally enjoying the mascot horror trend. i love when horror has a comedic element sprinkled in, and the ridiculousness of some of the "mascots" definitely does that for me. in a good way!
I enjoyed it at first too. Then we get so many similar games and it just loses its charm. Pair that with the million "chapters" and the cringy youtube kids videos. The genre can be saved, I just don't think it'll be anytime soon.
this was obviously heavily inspired by poppy playtime with the giant kids place, unsettling mascots, and video tapes laying out the story/monsters, but i think it was pretty good. the level design was easy to follow for the most part- not to mention visually pleasing. the fall cutscene was very well made; not just with the animation but also setting up the next half of the demo and giving you your flashlight. the code being on the walls in the last chase scene was definitely flawed, but very original as i don't think I've ever seen a code presented like that in a game like this. overall, this was a solid proof of concept, and I'd love to see more of this game in the future. hopefully the game devs don't go down the same route as the euphoric brothers with garten of banban.
I hope more people see how well made this is and how much effort is actually put into this. but a lot of people are just like it's just the usual mascot horror & nothing special. I just can't appreciate every detail put into this enough even tho the story & lore are a bit bland and pretty generic but we'll see where this goes I guess. maybe this can become a really well remarkable and recognisable franchise and devs to make high quality games on mascot horror in the future. Seriously I wish this had the popularity garten has because it deserves it a millions times more.
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 just cause I said high quality doesn't mean i was only talking about the graphics, one notable other is the VA. just like everything the OP said I acknowledge all of its qualities and sell points. also I literally just said the story and lore does seem generic, so why are you telling me it needs to be unique? when I literally never said it's unique or anything.
I actually think this is one of the better mascot horrors that he's played - it seems better made than most of the others, the characters are cool and I like the atmosphere. If it had come earlier I think it would be way better received but considering how many other games like it there are now, it just doesn't stand a chance because there's nothing new.
26:16 jumpscare 30:51 jumpscare 2 31:47 Wrong turn/ death 32:25 game is just trolling everyone 32:45 tunnel of haha you don't got the code to love 33:16 the code is a long while running/ close call 34:02 whoops the elaborate elevator that saved you is now out of power. Bye bye Missed one: 16:41 Jack being pressured to get it correct by a teethy worm
I treat these types of games like a slasher. Especially ones that feel like other games because they have the same formula. So to me its interesting what direction someone could take the mascot type of horror and twist however they see fit.
Seán's getting jumpscared and scarred for life and I'm just sitting here mesmerised by his hair. Never thought I'd see the day where a new hairstyle would make me question my sexuality but here we are.
i really love mascot horror as long as you can tell that there's genuine love and care put into the game. If the devs care about their game and are in it for more than a cash grab, it shows. I'm curious to see where joyville goes. It had some good moments, but there's so much to improve on and I hope they do that in the coming chapters (like the toy balls falling down the stairs? ZAMN)
I thought the worm rainbow puzzle was awesome, freaked me out, I loved it. Everything else made me think of PPT- especially the hallways and ball pit area. I feel like games like this are being pushed out because it's what's popular right now but I do miss the other horror style of games a lot.
Gotta say out of the abundance of chapter based mascot horror games, this one was the most interesting to me. The atmosphere and effort they put in was pretty well done and I hope they keep putting in more effort with each chapter because this one seems like it actually has potential I’d like to see it succeed.
so i have an intense fear of mascots and most of these games dont really bother me, but something about this one is just setting off every anxiety in my body
Honestly, so many types of these scary children place games have come out but I have to say that this one was pretty solid! The puzzles and story were good, and it was very creative to have a teddy bear be the key to every door. I really liked it!
*How can a gorgeous Irish man get any better* Omfg the last time I've watched a vid from Jack was 2016 !!! 😭 I'm 25 now and the glowup is insane! I will be binge watching old vids. Before and after work now lol 💁🏾♀️
“Why do we run this place on teddy bear power?!” Not gonna lie. That was not something I thought I would ever hear any man say without a hint of irony.
I agree that this just felt like Poppy Playtime over again. To me, it takes a lot of the "fun" out of the concept when the creatures are designed to be intentionally disturbing or weird (like putting the eyes in the mouth or having all the creatures have sharp teeth). To me, part of the charm of the games in the mascot horror genre like My Friendly Neighborhood is that those designs are actually consistent with what might actually made for kids, which are then rendered unnerving due to context or certain subtleties of the design. THAT is much harder to do but much more enjoyable to watch.
I feel like regardless of this being like the other games that have come out recently, it's still entertaining and fun to watch non the less cause they still have different level designs, character designs and stories. Although very similar I think it's still enough to be able to enjoy watching. Plus, it's you Sean. You're the one making it watchable so atleast for me, I'll still come back and watch you play games like this.
please continue ur TH-cam career you make so many differences that are positive that you create within each subscriber and who watches your videos. I’ve gone thru so much in the past 2 weeks and I’ve lost so much , watching your videos bring me a great joy. To know people who are created to be great and good like you give me peace. I’m not the only good person in this life. Always be good jack
I'm really enjoying these Mascot Horror games. Games like FNAF, Poppy's Playtime, Garden of BanBan, and MFN are really fun (no matter how much the concept either changes or remains), as long as each one has an interesting story to tell. There's always something really interesting about the idea of family and children friendly establishments gone wrong.
this is the most effective horror game of this genre for me. Poppy and Five Nights never really made me feel afraid or uneasy (and I'm a hugeass scaredy cat) but this one was really really good at unease and discomfort.
This one was actually really a carbon copy of other games, only thing good in this video is you as usual Jack. And about what you said in the end, fnaf fangames somehow manage to be more insteresting than these walking simulators with the almost same mascot monsters. At least the fnaf fangames are similar in a way that makes sense i guess, and they still manage to be great sometimes (Jr's for example). Maybe the creators actually care then, i dunno
They need to make this more interactive with the play area lol. Really wanted to go thru that car ride. Obsessed with rides like that where you go thru darkened areas, and animatronics, and other crazy shit to creep you out. It's the best.
Feels like every horror game that comes out now is like "oooo children place? But scary??"
yea true lol
lmao true
Too true. It can be done well, but I feel there's definitely an oversaturation of mascot horror. Games like The Heilwald Loophole and It Steals are really cool games, and yet Garten of Banban, which is not great, overshadows them by a longshot, probably just because Banban has that "so bad it's good" quality so maybe it's better for content, idk.

I love this man "Okay this I can handle, trauma I can handle, doing things over and over again? No thanks.." never felt words so much before XD
watching Sean playing a horror game makes my shibables happy

Begging...
this was obviously heavily inspired by poppy playtime with the giant kids place, unsettling mascots, and video tapes laying out the story/monsters, but i think it was pretty good. the level design was easy to follow for the most part- not to mention visually pleasing. the fall cutscene was very well made; not just with the animation but also setting up the next half of the demo and giving you your flashlight. the code being on the walls in the last chase scene was definitely flawed, but very original as i don't think I've ever seen a code presented like that in a game like this. overall, this was a solid proof of concept, and I'd love to see more of this game in the future. hopefully the game devs don't go down the same route as the euphoric brothers with garten of banban.
I hope more people see how well made this is and how much effort is actually put into this. but a lot of people are just like it's just the usual mascot horror & nothing special. I just can't appreciate every detail put into this enough even tho the story & lore are a bit bland and pretty generic but we'll see where this goes I guess. maybe this can become a really well remarkable and recognisable franchise and devs to make high quality games on mascot horror in the future. Seriously I wish this had the popularity garten has because it deserves it a millions times more.
@@cluster4583 Unfortunately, graphics isn't everything. A slightly better Poppy Playtime isn't cutting it, it needs to be way better/unique.
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 just cause I said high quality doesn't mean i was only talking about the graphics, one notable other is the VA. just like everything the OP said I acknowledge all of its qualities and sell points. also I literally just said the story and lore does seem generic, so why are you telling me it needs to be unique? when I literally never said it's unique or anything.

"Why do we run this place on Teddy Bear Power?!" 34:09 had me crying lol
That jumpscare got me very very very good when sean is trying to do the rainbow puzzle.
It was my favourite part of the game!
@@ewychan yeah
"Oh Teddy its your rival bunny" had me dying 24:38
Another mascot horror game with Jack? Truly a blessed time!
I actually think this is one of the better mascot horrors that he's played - it seems better made than most of the others, the characters are cool and I like the atmosphere. If it had come earlier I think it would be way better received but considering how many other games like it there are now, it just doesn't stand a chance because there's nothing new.

Bless you 😊
Thank you, you help make life a little easier for me :)
I was searching for a comment like this, thank you ☺️
I treat these types of games like a slasher. Especially ones that feel like other games because they have the same formula. So to me its interesting what direction someone could take the mascot type of horror and twist however they see fit.
Oh man, its so original when games take a childhood theme and frickin twist it
13:43 the meme potential is unreal
Been watching Jack for years and he never fails to make me laugh

The sheer whiplash you get from this to Carson House or Chilla's Art.
Weird, it's almost as if there a multiple genres of horror or something. Nah, that can't be it.

I can’t describe the shock my sick little body endured when wooly jumped at the screen
Sick little body? 😭
"sick little body" 🤨
"Mom, can we get poppy playtime?" " we have poppy playtime at home, son" poppy playtime at home:
Sean and horror games. No better combo. This really felt like a spin off to poppy playtime. The genuine feel of it.
jack has helped me through so much, i love this man with all my heart
30:47 Teddy went from 80% to 60% without doing anything. Boy, that escalated quickly.
i truly dont want sean's horror game era to leave 😂
i really love mascot horror as long as you can tell that there's genuine love and care put into the game. If the devs care about their game and are in it for more than a cash grab, it shows. I'm curious to see where joyville goes. It had some good moments, but there's so much to improve on and I hope they do that in the coming chapters (like the toy balls falling down the stairs? ZAMN)
I thought the worm rainbow puzzle was awesome, freaked me out, I loved it. Everything else made me think of PPT- especially the hallways and ball pit area. I feel like games like this are being pushed out because it's what's popular right now but I do miss the other horror style of games a lot.
Same, the worms were my favourite as well! It felt very similar to other games but it had its moments lol
Other styles?
I love that every horror game to TH-cam is fnaf
Gotta say out of the abundance of chapter based mascot horror games, this one was the most interesting to me. The atmosphere and effort they put in was pretty well done and I hope they keep putting in more effort with each chapter because this one seems like it actually has potential I’d like to see it succeed.
You know it’s serious game when Sean has his hair pulled back
THE THUMBNAIL MADE ME THINK THIS WOULD BE POPPY PLAYTIME 😭
so i have an intense fear of mascots and most of these games dont really bother me, but something about this one is just setting off every anxiety in my body
31:00 that scare was REALLY well done
Honestly, so many types of these scary children place games have come out but I have to say that this one was pretty solid! The puzzles and story were good, and it was very creative to have a teddy bear be the key to every door. I really liked it!
Damn... The energy and intro of jacksepticeye feels so nostalgic i love it so much
0:08 the cut offed “WHAT THE FU-“ got me😂😂

“Why do we run this place on teddy bear power?!”
Not gonna lie. That was not something I thought I would ever hear any man say without a hint of irony.
Wow, alternative energy comes from some weird sources.
1:01 the occasional fnaf deep singing😂 always fun
Wow this game was so good, the falling of the balls in the stairs was perfect, and the overall grafics are amazing !!
(8:16)
I don’t have a bad childhood, but I can confirm, Wooly Bully looks very appealing.
I agree that this just felt like Poppy Playtime over again. To me, it takes a lot of the "fun" out of the concept when the creatures are designed to be intentionally disturbing or weird (like putting the eyes in the mouth or having all the creatures have sharp teeth). To me, part of the charm of the games in the mascot horror genre like My Friendly Neighborhood is that those designs are actually consistent with what might actually made for kids, which are then rendered unnerving due to context or certain subtleties of the design. THAT is much harder to do but much more enjoyable to watch.
14:53 “you might get decaffeinated”
Seans horror games vids are so enterteining to watch, im so happy he keeps doing them :))
but i wanna go in there...
I feel like regardless of this being like the other games that have come out recently, it's still entertaining and fun to watch non the less cause they still have different level designs, character designs and stories. Although very similar I think it's still enough to be able to enjoy watching. Plus, it's you Sean. You're the one making it watchable so atleast for me, I'll still come back and watch you play games like this.
"Who cares if you got murdered a little. Did you have fun?" Greatest Saying I've Ever Heard.
please continue ur TH-cam career you make so many differences that are positive that you create within each subscriber and who watches your videos. I’ve gone thru so much in the past 2 weeks and I’ve lost so much , watching your videos bring me a great joy. To know people who are created to be great and good like you give me peace. I’m not the only good person in this life. Always be good jack

I LOOOOVE love the mascot designs in this one!!
feels like it could be the same universe as yo gabba gabba, the designs are very similar!
I'm really enjoying these Mascot Horror games. Games like FNAF, Poppy's Playtime, Garden of BanBan, and MFN are really fun (no matter how much the concept either changes or remains), as long as each one has an interesting story to tell. There's always something really interesting about the idea of family and children friendly establishments gone wrong.

nuh-uh
this is the most effective horror game of this genre for me. Poppy and Five Nights never really made me feel afraid or uneasy (and I'm a hugeass scaredy cat) but this one was really really good at unease and discomfort.
Who asked ?
*don’t go in there* you’ll become one freaky creature monster party
This one was actually really a carbon copy of other games, only thing good in this video is you as usual Jack.
And about what you said in the end, fnaf fangames somehow manage to be more insteresting than these walking simulators with the almost same mascot monsters. At least the fnaf fangames are similar in a way that makes sense i guess, and they still manage to be great sometimes (Jr's for example). Maybe the creators actually care then, i dunno

They need to make this more interactive with the play area lol. Really wanted to go thru that car ride. Obsessed with rides like that where you go thru darkened areas, and animatronics, and other crazy shit to creep you out. It's the best.
