Finally someone talk about endroll. It's a good game. I'm a bit sad that whenever I mentioned it online people would assume endroll is inspired by omori ;;
The first time I saw Omori playthrough, the first thing that come to my mind was how much it was resembling Endroll, so I know that soon or not, the fandom gonna recommend their respective game to each other. Playthrough wise, Endroll isn’t as long as Omori, but it’s very narrative packed, there is no ‘filler’, every single scenes and location driving more of our understanding about what kind of messed up life and the protagonist has. (Now I kind of want to replay EndRoll, I don’t have Omori tho, just watching the playthrough.)
Cool ! I only discovered End Roll last summer ! I don't know how I would've seen Omori if I knew End Roll back then. Playthroughs are fun ! And freeee !!!
I remember seeing people saying that omori is one of the saddest games they played but I honestly couldn't understand them. I mean I did cry one time playing it but that was it. for the longest time I couldn't understand why I didn't feel that much emotional attachment to omori until it clicked one day: end roll destroyed me so much that omori for me was just.... a nice one time experience. and I'm kinda glad it turned out that way. maybe if I played omori before end roll things would be tha other way around and I wouldn't be obsessed with game that almost no one knows. I love end roll so much it's unbelievable how much comfort this game brings to me (mf what comfort this game is just suffering that makes your heart hurt) so thank you so much for making video about it! also if you haven't played it I recommend playing farethere city, other segawa game. this one's also deserves lot's of love. :)
7:51 actually! if russell reaches enough guilt they let him free. but the guilt was too much for him to handle to it's just proved that "rehabilitation" is not possible. it's one of my favourite things in the game, the fact that despite everything a serial killer just could not be redeemed and the stuff that they done just would not let them live. as sad as it is russell never deserved a happy ending.
End Roll is one of my favorite games ever, it affected me so much because even though it has no "moral of the story", it really forces you to take a drastic perspective on certain subjects and it makes you understand them deeply. It makes me so happy seeing people still talk about it to this day, it genuinely deserves so much more recognition. also side note i checked your channel and you have pandora hearts videos too??? truly immaculate taste i have to say.
As END ROLL being my all time favorite RPG Maker game (thanks to ManlyBadassHero), I clicked on this video so damn fast! Omori Players should REALLY play this gem of a game and its so damn good! I'm glad this game is getting some recognition even if its always overshadowed by the others like Ib, Mad Father or The Witch's House
I actually got recommended End Roll on an OMORI playthrough stream! I'm a BIIIIIIG sucker for rpg maker psychological horror games, so i was very surprised that i've never heard any mention of End Roll before. I played it on steam myself and bawled my eyes out at the endings. It became one of my favorite games of all time and it's kinda sad to see that it never got much recognition. Your video made me really happy, seeing someone so interested in End Roll is nice! Thank you so much for making this.
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 i think my comment got deleted bc of the links to the recordings LMAO. the videos are privated bc they're kinda old, but i can send the links somewhere else if you want to xd
the music IS AMAZING ! The use of Russell theme in most track is really interesting ! I wanted to get into it in the video but it was already getting pretty long ^^"
End Roll is such an amazing game I can't believe I'm still finding videos of it in 2024!!! You know what, I think I ought to replay it and cry all over again
I can't believe I so many poeple who wanted to hear about that game in 2024 ! I am so glad it is not yet forgotten ! And I wish you well on your crying gaming session. Just be sure to drink water, crying dehydrates you fast !
As someone who is obsessed with End Roll and has been religiously consumed with every single content it has, I love this video with my entire heart! What a wonderful watch, 10/10 recommended. Now wait for me whiIe I replay End Roll and bawl my eyes out again.
I love yume nikki. I remember playing it at midnight with lights off. Then watching/reading reviews about it online. Everyone has their own interpretation because it remains a mystery till this day. I'll definitely check out endroll first before watching this video. I paused just to read the comments. Overall positive
i am on my knees begging omori fans to check out end roll please play end roll guys it's so good i'm glad other people are on the frontlines doing their best to promote the game... it's probably one of my favorite rpgmaker horror games of all time even years after i first played it u-u
2 minutes into the video and I’ve already decided I need to pause this and come back after playing through end roll, got a couple indies I wanna finish first and I need to play through tunic but if this is anything like omori, then I NEED to play this, il be back for the rest of the video once I’ve played through it cuz I don’t wanna be spoiled
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Just wanted to add to: Same. I have plenty of backlog to do, but I'll bring this up to first. Any Indie games that are not on steam I have some difficulty following through with playing them. Hell even games on my steam list I have to separate and go "This next" unless I forget. So, this will be the next one I'm playing.
i heard about endroll 3 years ago when someone recommended it to me because i liked omori. 3 years later, and i STILL think of end roll and its story. thats how impressive the game was to me.
End Roll is effectively reverse Omori, all the way to its conclusion. To keep it in few words, Sunny chooses to carry on, despite being told otherwise (by Omori); but Russell, despite being told to carry on, despite being given another chance, does not. It's poetic, Sunny smiles as his guilt demon vanishes, but Russell smiles moments before ending his own life, as his guilt is eternal.
errr... I came here because of End Roll It was a nice experience and yeah you could tell that it wasn't going to be your usual adventure story good work, I really liked your points between the two games also I wasn't expecting that ending haha
It’s a shame it’s so obscure and I rarely see people talk about it and it’s either fans or people who… likely didn’t understand it or couldn’t relate to the themes.
Also an interesting thing, as an autistic person… Russell scares me in the sense that I feel like I… could have become like him if I never had the supportive family and best friend I have. Russell feels very autistic coded yet I don’t think he’d be bad rep if he was canonically autistic. Russell is a favorite of mine, he’s the best silent protagonist I’ve actually played as. Russell doesn’t feel like any kind of player insert despite not talking. He’s just a quiet kid… And his dreams characterize him plenty.
honestly between End Roll and Omori, End Roll is really interesting cause you don't necessarily relate to the character, but as you said you do feel for him. And you think that this rehabilitation can save him somehow only to be hit by the ending of it, cause not only do you grow a bond with the cast you also somewhat grow a bond with Russel as well by just observing him kinda thing ? ( also End Roll came before Omori xd ) idk, I guess it's also cause the bosses aren't as goddamn long and dragging as in Omori which made it really unbearable tbh
A happy ending for end roll just wouldn't make sense, but I see a great opportunity for a story similar to this with a good ending and message, about how you can forgive yourself and be forgiven even after doing things that are genuinely no accident, evil and inexcusable if you actually change for the better, and that that's way better than punishing yourself. It's a message I think a lot of people need to hear, I am aspiring to be a game designer so I might just make a game like that, unless I completely fail which is very within the realm of possibility :P
If you fail. Do another one. Your first game will very probably not be your best, but that's to be expected ! Do it for as long as the passions burns and you like doing it !
Sorry for jumping into the convo, and this is not at all meant to be a discouragement, as I'd love to see more games with a message like that, so please do so! World needs more games that takes inspiration from End Roll imo, especially on topics such as the way world treats people who grew up in awful surroundings, where they are not really given a chance to do better (as in, after being removed from the abusive situation, as only adults that showed him care ultimately either actively pushed him further down the murder hole and/or ultimately were people who couldn't or wouldn't help him out of his abusive household and surroundings), if they are not a perfect little angel, and generally child abuse/mental health and how all this intersects on how punitive justice system really does not help anyone in the long run, how cartoonishly sadistically framed staff who expect only way Russell can be fixed TM is if he Shows Appropiate Amount Of Guilt, even if he's already set to die so they never intended to actually help him on any level, etc etc. But for scratching that itch with an existing game atm, I felt the need to mention another RPG Maker Horror game called ZENO, as this is exact concept behind the game, and learning that dev likes End Roll made a lot of things click for me, especially with a certain character who's arc is most blatant about said message on hindsight.
@@apeironstella9271 Yesss ! So truue ! Okay, fist of all, this is youtube comments, but into any convo you want ! XD And secondly, EXACTLY ! You're summary is so perfect ! I never heard about ZENO but I will go see what it's all about right this second ! Thanks !!
So glad to see an Omori related video from you! I loved your talk at Otakuton 2022 and was hoping to hear more from you. You made me feel like playing End Roll... so I guess I'll be back here when I'm done playing it! - Mari
I Love Games that make me feel things like Omori and Oneshot so thanks for the let's me know this game exists time to go get emotionally recked again ✌.
funny how for both games, i was not all that interested in the story/characters until the end where both protagonists suddenly face extreme amounts of guilt and depressive thoughts. (at this point id go back in the lets play i was watching and probably finally invest my time in it lol) seeing how broken both sunny and russell become (depending on the endings/choices), and seeing how much their dark thoughts impacted them, it resonated with me deeply. because of them, i felt less alone. for both games i cried nearly an hour at the end and i kept thinking about them for weeks. definitely dont experience omori/end roll in a bad mental state because it might leave you numb for a while lol, but i cant express enough how much they both mean to me
Thank you so very much for making this video, otherwise I’d most likely never have found end roll. Amazing game, truly amazing. Also as a side note I laughed hard playing this game at how damn obviously omori cloned so many executions of so many of its ideas from this game
Played the game because of this video, watched the first 5~ minutes of this a month or so ago, it looked interesting so I closed the video, and after giving it some time I finished the game today, secret dungeon and all. I spent the whole game expecting there to be some twist, looking for hints that something different than what was so obviously being choreographed was going to happen, and so was genuinely surprised that there was no twist, it all came to conclusion exactly the way you expected. Truly, a tragedy that makes you hope. Oyasumi. It was a good game. Cody was my favourite.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, has perhaps the darkest story ever told by a video game. I won't spoil what happens, however, in a way, it's similar to OMORI, but much MUCH more disturbing.
End roll is awesome. I played it 1-2 years ago after bcs i read it was similar to omori but oh.... Its much more than that. I think both omori and end roll are the best rpg maker games I've ever played, both made me cry like crazy haha.
i need to just, sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video 😭😭 small ramble ahead but!! i was head-deep in an omori obsession when i saw this on my youtube recommended, and i think that was very likely the single best thing of all youtube has ever done for me i stopped the video to go download the game right at the point two minutes in when you recommended that HAHA, and that really was the best decision to have made, so i thank you for that too. I've rewatched this in full several times since after finishing the game several months ago and i just- THANK YOU for this whole beautifully done love letter to the game. THANK YOU for spreading word of it. THANK YOU as someone who was stuck for a long time at a really low point when i played the game, it feels a little weird (considering the game this is) when i say that it genuinely pulled me out of that and has helped me so much. creatively and socially even too, with the former especially in kind of insane ways that nothing else ever has before all i mean to say is that like, i don't know where i'd be without it, and i don't know if i'd have ever found it and thought to look into it without this SOB
Oh wow ! Thanks so much for all these kind words. I am very glad this little passion project of mine could be of help to you ! And I'm so happy more poeple love Chris (AS THEY SHOULD!) I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Just know that it's not a video or a game that did that, it was all you. ^^ But really, thanks so much for the comment. It had brighten my day like you can't imagine !
I've just finished playing this game and now stumble upon this video while looking for any sort of content related to it I'm so glad the game is still being talked about, it's genuinely so good I wish Segawa didn't forbid the translation of her new games
@@-themightymittens- It does. Since I've done this video, I heard of poeple that don't like the real world stuff and only play for headspace ! It really took me by surprise.
HEWLLO I AM THE NUMBER ONE ENDROLL FAN IF YOU SAW HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES I REPLAYED THIS GAME U WOULD CRY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLAY IT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ITS AXTUAL:Y BETTER THAN OMORI
Found END ROLL through my best friend who actually played OMORI (suprisingly not me despite having known it for longer because im a teenager with no job). Finished it the other day. Haven't felt this emotionally ripped to shreds since To the Moon, being the only two games my eyes got teary for.
Really ! I'm so glad younger poeple are keeping the genre alive !! I was also a broke teen which led me to play all the free rpg games on VGpersons website. I recomend it if you're interested !
saw the first minute, decided instantly to play end roll, a great choice, sadly if i had missed this video i wouldn´t had know the existence of end roll. wish there's more content like this laying around youtube. i think both are very different, they may share some stuff but the background and the story made the two games unique.
The internet algorithm doing its thing and recommending this video to me a few days after I beat the game and posted about it on Twitter. End Roll is basically OMORI before OMORI, but with better visual storytelling and a rather gruesome conclusion, regardless of the ending you get. I liked how both games handled grief and guilt, and even though I couldn't really empathize with him, Russell's situation is way too fucked up and makes me wish he was able to at least try again.
I'm glad the algorithm is in my favor for once ! So you think End roll has a better visual storytelling ? That's surprising since the graphics are not as good as Omori's ! I don't think you wrong, I'm just surprised !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Visual storytelling doesn't necessarily have to do with graphics though, it's mostly about how the environment shows you a character's thoughts, feelings, mental state, etc. without a textbox telling you that "the character feels A or B about this thing" e.g. Russell's father and how he is presented as a green monster thing instead of having a humanoid appearence. You know Russell hates his father, but feel how disgusting he thinks he is ONLY when he appears
I finally had the time to watch this video and boy was it worth. End Roll was one of the first few games that introduced me to rpgmaker back then and I had the silliest smile on my face when I saw your video. End roll??? In 2024??? Am I in my Happy Drea- Jokes aside, I love how you pinpointed the important scenes from the game and the comparison between omori and end roll, really enjoyed watching and listening to your voice! Also!! Good luck with your game!! The character designs of Pluto and Gaelle are just too adorable!! 🩵💚
Thanks so much !! Yeah, the video turned out longer than expected Haha ! I'm so glad people remeber this game !! And, yes I'll work hard on my game !! XD (A demo is out btw...links in the description...)
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 i just finished watching your video 🥺 the music and all the explanations made me want to replay endroll immediately. Although usually I just load one of my late save files, when Russell is on his island, and pretend everything is normal again 😭 Thank you for appreciating Chris and the Puddle!! After everything we've been through, it was so nice to meet at least one true friend. This game truly is an experience. You're right, it's not even a side-quest per se, but you still find yourself returning to the location and just talking to Chris, just spending some time with his family.. It gives you such warmth. If you remember, someone in the Puddle mentioned how it's dangerous at night and there're cases of kidnapping/dissappearing. And then this location just disappears one day. I reaaaaaaally hope it doesn't mean Chris just vanished one day in the real world too. But the game rarely mentions something for no reason, right?.. Moreover, the disappearance of his one close friend could also be a trigger for Russell's killings. Or maybe I'm looking too much into it. Also, if I'm not mistaken, if Russell ends up successfully completing the experiment, the government is ready to free him?.. Totally ignoring, how he would adapt after everything or what would be public's opinion. That's another level of why everything is so tragic in the end (you'd probably have seen fanarts of Russell surviving? I cannot imagine how he would just come back to the "normal" life after learning how great is the happiness he robbed people of). Kantera and Mireille are also so interesting to me. They probably could have been such good friends and support for Russell, but, as you've said, they basically forced this kid to get rid of the two people who were so close to him. And of course he couldn't turn them down, because they were his friends! I love how complex both characters are, but I would lie, if I say I don't feel frustrated with them a bit because of what they did to Russell. Oh, another tiny detail is the bonus room where you can talk to our silent protagonist and finally hear what he has to say! I really liked that! Although at that point I just wanted to cry after his every line, haha... Anyyyway, really sorry about the long text! >< I'm really happy to see an analysis video about Endroll. All the differences and similarities... ahh, it's just so good! I totally agree that Omori was dragging a little too much, even if it was on purpose. I had more fun exploring Happy Dream, trying to find all the manifestations of Russell's trauma and guilt and looking forward to what will change in certain locations the next day. Endroll opened for me the world of Segawa's games and I ATE THEM, I mean, I've happily finished them all recently and they were sooo good. Once again, thank you for the video!! (sorry for mistakes >
@@vyckygy6626 Oh wow ! This comment was a trip ! XD I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way ! I never thought about Christ disapearing !!! I hope that's not the case !! Yeah, I do think the ending of the gouv releasing a trauamtize Russell is just so tragically real. I also love that the song playing in that ending is called "Success". I honestly thought this video would have like 3 views, so I'm really glad I found poeple like you who appreciate it !
Played end roll, finished it yesterday, loved the characters, the scenarios changing, the music (even if it loops at around 15 seconds sometimes lmaoo), sadly, I feel like a lot of characters required development (aka second interactions with them at the place they were killed, like a rerun of the dungeon, like gardenia had it) but never got it, especially ones at later days, which is sad, wish the game had another week, at least 2 days per character so they can truly develop, because there's characters he didnt know irl like cody and dogma (didn't know them at all so he kinda guesses the type of person they were), saxon, tabasa, those don't require much development, and they still have some of it in the form of the interactions, but characters like Yumi, he did get to know well irl, however she gets 0 personal development with him in the dream, unlike kantera and mireille which did get development, and I felt there's a lack of endings too, at least one good one, but I expected it to end this way anyways, there's no way after all that trauma and murder he would forgive himself, the best ending is unironically the one where you get more world building in the bonus area, which isn't canon
Glad you like ! And yeah, it's not a perfect game, the character developpment is unblaced. But it's a really decent one !! And yes, in my heart, the bonmus room is the real ending !
Hello! Your video got me to try out Endroll, it was quite an interesting game to play ngl :D I enjoyed my time playing through the game, it wasn't boring at all to play through it! The battles aren't overwhelming for me, and the story is pretty good despite it being VERY dark- The main characters are alright (the Informant is a pretty interesting character for me), although the characters from the Dreamsend Inc. could use some more importance in the game imo..? Either way, it was an awesome experience to play the game! The ending made me cry, and Endroll pushed me to try more rpgmaker games ^^
I haven't actually played any RPG Maker games, but I have a real soft spot for them. I hope to play Ib and Yume Nikki (and maybe some of its fangames) one day, and OMORI is one of my favorite games that I haven't actually played. I haven't heard of this game before, but I'm certain I've seen the portrait sprite at 32:28 somewhere, probably a video thumbnail. And that art at 34:28 with Sunny, Madotsuki, Russell, and the rest is too precious. I'm glad we came to the same conclusion regarding stairs.
GOD, I LOVE Endroll, man! I remember watching one person's gameplay of it for multiple times because idk, man. I just really like it! (And also because that person's voice is relaxing to listen to) Kantera's my fav
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Oh no, the dude has smaller view counts. Sometimes his views are just hundreds, but I like the way he narrates and read dialogues. I also love his Pocket Mirror playthrough. That's a good guess tho! Manly does have a great voice!
OMORI is already stuck in my head, part of me literally died because of the tragic story Well looks like it's time for the other parts of me to die and find a partner for OMORI
Im not interested to play Omori but thank you for talking about End Roll because man... that game is just hitting hard i wish we could get more translated game from segawa but i think it will be hard 😢
It really is a shame. Also, it's really fine about Omori, I don't want to fore anyone to play any game ! I basically wanted an excuse to talk about two games I like ! XD
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 yeah thank you for talking about this though XD maybe one day i will eventualy play omori but for now i will take time to finish my backlogs
I finished it! GDJGAHFJFGJDG 😭😭😭😭😭 I was so happy seeing him complete the program why did it end like this?! It was heartbreaking watching this kid's guilt finally get to him. I really don't think Russell's a bad person at heart, just ended up down a bad path. Really glad I went in blind, it didn't scare me as much as Omori did (well, until the part where you confront the monsters representing his parents and the ending), but I think I just knew better what to expect from these types of games. 10/10, I'll definitely play it again to see the other endings (I got a code to use for replays so that's cool)
@@-themightymittens- That's the bonus ending. It is super hard to beat him. But if you do, you get access to the bonus room which is a real treat. You get to hear Russell talk !!
I've been telling people about End Roll even before Omori came out, I'm glad some friends tried it, and it ended up being their favorite games too. Thanks for covering End Roll, I love that game to pieces. Also, may I ask what's the music box song in the intro? It's been haunting me that I can't remember where I heard it
If you have 50+ hours to burn and are really looking for something to really sink your teeth into when it comes to a depressing story, try Seraphic Blue. Just be warned, it is not just the story that hits hard, it is also the difficulty as well. It does broach quite a few sensitive topics that for some may be too much to handle.
I have actually never heard of that game before ! Sadly tho I am extremely bad at games, so I might have to be content by a let's play ! But thanks a lot for suggesting it !
Your question of “how many times has the ending of a game made you cry” made me think of a specific game, and I’d be kind of curious to hear what you have to say about it. The game is called Bad End Theater, and it’s not really a horror game per se, however it’s an extremely dark puzzle game. I don’t normally cry at fictional media, but I’m not exaggerating when I say the ending made me start full on sobbing the first time
O...M...GOOOD ! I loooove that game ! And its creator ! Did you know they made like 10 other games !! You should really check them out ! The creator's name is NomnomNami !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Yeah. Most people probably know about it from Markiplier, so I can definitely see why they wouldn’t realize NomNomNami made other games
so glad that someone is talking about end roll too! i always encourage people who like omori to check out end roll because i feel like they'd find the story points, emotional beats, and even combat familiar yet different! also i gotta ask what's the game at 34:21 bc that looks SOOOOO familiar! that might be the game i've been looking for for years!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655i think so? i was looking around for an old rpg maker game the that i downloaded from tumblr years ago with that detailed pixel art style that's set in a vaguely victorian/edwardian period with a main cast of three characters, a girl, a boy, and an older man. i definitely am forgetting some things but that might be bury because i remember that game have a literal dark and dreary atmosphere! i'll have to check it out to make sure!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 sorry for the late reply! i was looking this game up and YES, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE GAME THAT I PLAYED WHEN I WAS A KID! i remember downloading this game in tumblr and playing it in my second laptop! i also remember not getting to finish it because i lost the walkthrough. i know that this video has a different intention but thank you so much for letting me remember this game! i've been looking for it for years and just recently knew that all translations are taken down by the game's creator and there was a remake at around 2021. no wonder i can barely find anything about the game!
You, honestly lost me, when you started talking about Omori's real world I admittedly only saw it in a Let's Play, but... That's because I honestly hate the RW, and don't want to do the "normal" route And while watching the LP, I started to want the LPer, to just hurry up and go to the DW When I think of Omori (game), I think of the DW. And when I think of the main cast, I think of their DW versions
Where can I watch a playthru of endroll besides manlybadasshero ? I like him but I’m looking for a more ‘energetic’ commentary maybe one that makes some jokes (yes I know game ain’t funny) etc lol
BakaWashu made one too. I wouldn't say he's energetic, but he does make some jokes ! We really need more Let's plays of End roll !! Feel free to harass your fav let's player about it !! (don't harrass...it's mean..)
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 facts my fav indie player is GSD Boxer why he don’t have more subs I’ll never know and I’ll check his out cuz I don’t need screaming and yelling but sometimes Manly voice make me doze off lol
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 his playthrus of Lisa and all fan games are CHEFS KISS and any indie he plays is a good sign imma want the game he’s been on a horror kick lately lol
Thank you so much for making this video,,! The moment you said “this game is best going in blind” i stopped the video and immediately downloaded end roll,, i did not regret it!! ;w; as an omori fan, i really did enjoy end roll… like a lot and it’s all thanks to you making this video!🤍🤍
I can't believe it
There still people talking about End Roll in 2024
I'm crying
IT WILL NEVER DIIIE !
Finally someone talk about endroll. It's a good game. I'm a bit sad that whenever I mentioned it online people would assume endroll is inspired by omori ;;
I know right ! Well not anymore ! We'll inform them !
The first time I saw Omori playthrough, the first thing that come to my mind was how much it was resembling Endroll, so I know that soon or not, the fandom gonna recommend their respective game to each other.
Playthrough wise, Endroll isn’t as long as Omori, but it’s very narrative packed, there is no ‘filler’, every single scenes and location driving more of our understanding about what kind of messed up life and the protagonist has.
(Now I kind of want to replay EndRoll, I don’t have Omori tho, just watching the playthrough.)
Cool ! I only discovered End Roll last summer ! I don't know how I would've seen Omori if I knew End Roll back then.
Playthroughs are fun ! And freeee !!!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Have fun playing/watching the playthrough, both are really good!
I remember seeing people saying that omori is one of the saddest games they played but I honestly couldn't understand them. I mean I did cry one time playing it but that was it. for the longest time I couldn't understand why I didn't feel that much emotional attachment to omori until it clicked one day: end roll destroyed me so much that omori for me was just.... a nice one time experience.
and I'm kinda glad it turned out that way. maybe if I played omori before end roll things would be tha other way around and I wouldn't be obsessed with game that almost no one knows.
I love end roll so much it's unbelievable how much comfort this game brings to me (mf what comfort this game is just suffering that makes your heart hurt) so thank you so much for making video about it!
also if you haven't played it I recommend playing farethere city, other segawa game. this one's also deserves lot's of love. :)
7:51 actually! if russell reaches enough guilt they let him free. but the guilt was too much for him to handle to it's just proved that "rehabilitation" is not possible. it's one of my favourite things in the game, the fact that despite everything a serial killer just could not be redeemed and the stuff that they done just would not let them live. as sad as it is russell never deserved a happy ending.
man I cried multiple times during this video maaaan I love end roll such a good video!!
No prob ! I was gad to do so ! I doknow farethere city ! but I couldn't run it on my PC ! So I had to watch a let's play.
@@cocospro1987 Shhhhh ! Ididn't want to spoil the ending DX!!! (but yes ! You are totally right ! It was the perfect way to end the game !)
@@cocospro1987 This video ? Really ? Wow. Sorry.
End Roll is one of my favorite games ever, it affected me so much because even though it has no "moral of the story", it really forces you to take a drastic perspective on certain subjects and it makes you understand them deeply. It makes me so happy seeing people still talk about it to this day, it genuinely deserves so much more recognition.
also side note i checked your channel and you have pandora hearts videos too??? truly immaculate taste i have to say.
Thanks ! Those videos are a bit old now. Haha ! But yeah ! End roll DOES need more poeple talking about it (...And so does Pandora hearts...)
As END ROLL being my all time favorite RPG Maker game (thanks to ManlyBadassHero), I clicked on this video so damn fast! Omori Players should REALLY play this gem of a game and its so damn good! I'm glad this game is getting some recognition even if its always overshadowed by the others like Ib, Mad Father or The Witch's House
Those are all great games to be fair. But it is sad that it's not up there with one of the greats ! Guess you and I should spread the word !
I actually got recommended End Roll on an OMORI playthrough stream! I'm a BIIIIIIG sucker for rpg maker psychological horror games, so i was very surprised that i've never heard any mention of End Roll before. I played it on steam myself and bawled my eyes out at the endings. It became one of my favorite games of all time and it's kinda sad to see that it never got much recognition. Your video made me really happy, seeing someone so interested in End Roll is nice! Thank you so much for making this.
Wow ! You streamed it ? Do you have a reccording of it ? I wanna see that !!
and thanks so much ! I'm glad you liked it !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 i think my comment got deleted bc of the links to the recordings LMAO. the videos are privated bc they're kinda old, but i can send the links somewhere else if you want to xd
@@ladatucha Aaaah right ! Well, send it here : cinnapumpkin@yahoo.com
Clicked on this specifically because I LOVE end roll!! I actually played it before Omori and I love them both!
END ROLL’S MUSIC IS AMAZING
the music IS AMAZING ! The use of Russell theme in most track is really interesting !
I wanted to get into it in the video but it was already getting pretty long ^^"
Same here 🥹
I loved the clover hospital theme
End Roll is such an amazing game I can't believe I'm still finding videos of it in 2024!!! You know what, I think I ought to replay it and cry all over again
I can't believe I so many poeple who wanted to hear about that game in 2024 ! I am so glad it is not yet forgotten ! And I wish you well on your crying gaming session. Just be sure to drink water, crying dehydrates you fast !
As someone who is obsessed with End Roll and has been religiously consumed with every single content it has, I love this video with my entire heart! What a wonderful watch, 10/10 recommended. Now wait for me whiIe I replay End Roll and bawl my eyes out again.
Yeaah ! I knew I wasn't the only one !!
I love yume nikki. I remember playing it at midnight with lights off. Then watching/reading reviews about it online. Everyone has their own interpretation because it remains a mystery till this day.
I'll definitely check out endroll first before watching this video. I paused just to read the comments. Overall positive
Yeah, Yume Nikki is a great mystery ! I hope you have fun with End roll too !
i am on my knees begging omori fans to check out end roll please play end roll guys it's so good i'm glad other people are on the frontlines doing their best to promote the game... it's probably one of my favorite rpgmaker horror games of all time even years after i first played it u-u
I'm on the "frontlines" ?? HAha ! But yes, I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this !
2 minutes into the video and I’ve already decided I need to pause this and come back after playing through end roll, got a couple indies I wanna finish first and I need to play through tunic but if this is anything like omori, then I NEED to play this, il be back for the rest of the video once I’ve played through it cuz I don’t wanna be spoiled
Great ! That's what I wanted to hear ! Have fun !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Just wanted to add to: Same.
I have plenty of backlog to do, but I'll bring this up to first. Any Indie games that are not on steam I have some difficulty following through with playing them. Hell even games on my steam list I have to separate and go "This next" unless I forget. So, this will be the next one I'm playing.
@@Quinz128 Glad to hear it ! It's pretty easy to download ! Hope you like it !!
i heard about endroll 3 years ago when someone recommended it to me because i liked omori. 3 years later, and i STILL think of end roll and its story. thats how impressive the game was to me.
A video with actual analysis, glad that I found this one!
Good content, keep it up
Thanks! I will !
End Roll is still one of my favorite games and my favorite RPG Maker game. Definitely needs more recognition. Great video!
I do too !!
End Roll is effectively reverse Omori, all the way to its conclusion.
To keep it in few words, Sunny chooses to carry on, despite being told otherwise (by Omori); but Russell, despite being told to carry on, despite being given another chance, does not.
It's poetic, Sunny smiles as his guilt demon vanishes, but Russell smiles moments before ending his own life, as his guilt is eternal.
Wow. That is an excellent summary.
errr... I came here because of End Roll
It was a nice experience and yeah you could tell that it wasn't going to be your usual adventure story
good work, I really liked your points between the two games
also
I wasn't expecting that ending haha
Haha ! Couldn't end it any other way !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Late reply but I was waiting the whole time while watching this for you to make that joke haha
WRONG
I CLICKED BECAUSE OF END ROLL
Super glad to hear it !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 I love end roll
End Roll? Damn that’s a blast from the past…
It’s a shame it’s so obscure and I rarely see people talk about it and it’s either fans or people who… likely didn’t understand it or couldn’t relate to the themes.
@@theshinypeliper8813 It's rarely talked but not forgotten ! This video showed me that !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 indeed! Hopefully a day will come when it gets the recognition it deserves
@@theshinypeliper8813 Thatwould be awesome ! Spread the word then !
Also an interesting thing, as an autistic person… Russell scares me in the sense that I feel like I… could have become like him if I never had the supportive family and best friend I have.
Russell feels very autistic coded yet I don’t think he’d be bad rep if he was canonically autistic.
Russell is a favorite of mine, he’s the best silent protagonist I’ve actually played as.
Russell doesn’t feel like any kind of player insert despite not talking.
He’s just a quiet kid…
And his dreams characterize him plenty.
END ROLL!!! I love this game so much, thank you for making a video about it
No prob !Thank you for watching it !
honestly between End Roll and Omori, End Roll is really interesting cause you don't necessarily relate to the character, but as you said you do feel for him. And you think that this rehabilitation can save him somehow only to be hit by the ending of it, cause not only do you grow a bond with the cast you also somewhat grow a bond with Russel as well by just observing him kinda thing ? ( also End Roll came before Omori xd )
idk, I guess it's also cause the bosses aren't as goddamn long and dragging as in Omori which made it really unbearable tbh
Haha ! Yeah, I did loose my mind on some bosses too !
I hope more people see ur video, It’s good and deserves attention honestly.
Wow! Thanks so much ! Wil see !
A happy ending for end roll just wouldn't make sense, but I see a great opportunity for a story similar to this with a good ending and message, about how you can forgive yourself and be forgiven even after doing things that are genuinely no accident, evil and inexcusable if you actually change for the better, and that that's way better than punishing yourself. It's a message I think a lot of people need to hear, I am aspiring to be a game designer so I might just make a game like that, unless I completely fail which is very within the realm of possibility :P
If you fail. Do another one. Your first game will very probably not be your best, but that's to be expected ! Do it for as long as the passions burns and you like doing it !
Sorry for jumping into the convo, and this is not at all meant to be a discouragement, as I'd love to see more games with a message like that, so please do so!
World needs more games that takes inspiration from End Roll imo, especially on topics such as the way world treats people who grew up in awful surroundings, where they are not really given a chance to do better (as in, after being removed from the abusive situation, as only adults that showed him care ultimately either actively pushed him further down the murder hole and/or ultimately were people who couldn't or wouldn't help him out of his abusive household and surroundings), if they are not a perfect little angel, and generally child abuse/mental health and how all this intersects on how punitive justice system really does not help anyone in the long run, how cartoonishly sadistically framed staff who expect only way Russell can be fixed TM is if he Shows Appropiate Amount Of Guilt, even if he's already set to die so they never intended to actually help him on any level, etc etc.
But for scratching that itch with an existing game atm, I felt the need to mention another RPG Maker Horror game called ZENO, as this is exact concept behind the game, and learning that dev likes End Roll made a lot of things click for me, especially with a certain character who's arc is most blatant about said message on hindsight.
@@apeironstella9271 Yesss ! So truue ! Okay, fist of all, this is youtube comments, but into any convo you want ! XD
And secondly, EXACTLY ! You're summary is so perfect ! I never heard about ZENO but I will go see what it's all about right this second ! Thanks !!
END ROLL content lets gooooo!!! 🎉❤

Here before this blows up, ur voice is amazingly soft and the video is amazing :3
Thank you very much ! but this isnot gonna blow up!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 I hope it does then! Srsly underrated game
@@TeaCrap I hope so too !
This video was so good i have to go back and finish this game.
Great content for real, you have a really engaging way of presenting information.
Oh wow ! I do ? Thsnks !!
So glad to see an Omori related video from you! I loved your talk at Otakuton 2022 and was hoping to hear more from you. You made me feel like playing End Roll... so I guess I'll be back here when I'm done playing it! - Mari
Oh wow! Gladt o se you again ! I hope you like the game !
convinced me to download it, gonna play it and come back to watch the full vid !
A great Idea ! It was my intention ! Hope you have fun !
I'm going to play it NOW and I'll watch the video after lol.
Great ! See you there!
I Love Games that make me feel things like Omori and Oneshot so thanks for the let's me know this game exists time to go get emotionally recked again ✌.
Good to hear ! Have fun !
funny how for both games, i was not all that interested in the story/characters until the end where both protagonists suddenly face extreme amounts of guilt and depressive thoughts. (at this point id go back in the lets play i was watching and probably finally invest my time in it lol)
seeing how broken both sunny and russell become (depending on the endings/choices), and seeing how much their dark thoughts impacted them, it resonated with me deeply. because of them, i felt less alone. for both games i cried nearly an hour at the end and i kept thinking about them for weeks.
definitely dont experience omori/end roll in a bad mental state because it might leave you numb for a while lol, but i cant express enough how much they both mean to me
Thank you so very much for making this video, otherwise I’d most likely never have found end roll. Amazing game, truly amazing. Also as a side note I laughed hard playing this game at how damn obviously omori cloned so many executions of so many of its ideas from this game
Thank goodness people STILL remember Endroll!!
That game made me question myself about the last ending and I haven't recover from it until now :,)
I'm the same. Make a 30min video aout it, it helps !
Played the game because of this video, watched the first 5~ minutes of this a month or so ago, it looked interesting so I closed the video, and after giving it some time I finished the game today, secret dungeon and all.
I spent the whole game expecting there to be some twist, looking for hints that something different than what was so obviously being choreographed was going to happen, and so was genuinely surprised that there was no twist, it all came to conclusion exactly the way you expected.
Truly, a tragedy that makes you hope. Oyasumi.
It was a good game.
Cody was my favourite.
I am so gad I was not the only one that felt that way !
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, has perhaps the darkest story ever told by a video game. I won't spoil what happens, however, in a way, it's similar to OMORI, but much MUCH more disturbing.
Ouh ! That sounds cool ! I wasn't really going for 'most disturbing' tho ! I knwo there are some MESSED UP games out there !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Oh, ok. A cool game that I would recommend is Super Paper Mario. This one's kind of dark, but also has a heartbreaking story.
@@wario1340 Everyone has been saying that and in sounds so weird to me !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 I see. Well then, I'll say something different: watch Bomberman Jetters Anime. One of the best cartoons I've ever seen!
True Ending 1 of End Roll breaks my heart 😢
I got that one first, it hurt 😭
End roll is awesome.
I played it 1-2 years ago after bcs i read it was similar to omori but oh.... Its much more than that.
I think both omori and end roll are the best rpg maker games I've ever played, both made me cry like crazy haha.
Haha ! Yeah, me too ! What else did you play ?
i need to just, sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video 😭😭
small ramble ahead but!! i was head-deep in an omori obsession when i saw this on my youtube recommended, and i think that was very likely the single best thing of all youtube has ever done for me
i stopped the video to go download the game right at the point two minutes in when you recommended that HAHA, and that really was the best decision to have made, so i thank you for that too. I've rewatched this in full several times since after finishing the game several months ago and i just- THANK YOU for this whole beautifully done love letter to the game. THANK YOU for spreading word of it. THANK YOU
as someone who was stuck for a long time at a really low point when i played the game, it feels a little weird (considering the game this is) when i say that it genuinely pulled me out of that and has helped me so much. creatively and socially even too, with the former especially in kind of insane ways that nothing else ever has before
all i mean to say is that like, i don't know where i'd be without it, and i don't know if i'd have ever found it and thought to look into it without this SOB
Oh wow ! Thanks so much for all these kind words. I am very glad this little passion project of mine could be of help to you ! And I'm so happy more poeple love Chris (AS THEY SHOULD!)
I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Just know that it's not a video or a game that did that, it was all you. ^^ But really, thanks so much for the comment. It had brighten my day like you can't imagine !
I clicked on this video because there was a mention of End Roll and that surprised me a lot. I also clicked on Omori but more so on End Roll
I came for EndRoll cuz why not crying again
I played End Roll after being recommended on the omori discord lol, Had a wonderful and very depressing experience with it lol
Yeah ! That sounds about right ! XD
I've just finished playing this game and now stumble upon this video while looking for any sort of content related to it
I'm so glad the game is still being talked about, it's genuinely so good
I wish Segawa didn't forbid the translation of her new games
It is sad. But we still have her older games!
I LOVED the Memory Girl quest, I'm so glad I did it
I feel you with Headspace in Omori, I get so tired once I get to Humphrey. My brother loves Headspace though, so ig it depends on the player
@@-themightymittens- It does. Since I've done this video, I heard of poeple that don't like the real world stuff and only play for headspace ! It really took me by surprise.
i did the right thing and stayed in that dream world damnabit i liked the characters so much i wanted to stay with them until the end
YESS !
HEWLLO I AM THE NUMBER ONE ENDROLL FAN IF YOU SAW HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES I REPLAYED THIS GAME U WOULD CRY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLAY IT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ITS AXTUAL:Y BETTER THAN OMORI
Wow ! I didn't know End roll had super fans ! But I'm glad to see it !
END ROLL MY BELOVED!!!
Found END ROLL through my best friend who actually played OMORI (suprisingly not me despite having known it for longer because im a teenager with no job).
Finished it the other day. Haven't felt this emotionally ripped to shreds since To the Moon, being the only two games my eyes got teary for.
Really ! I'm so glad younger poeple are keeping the genre alive !! I was also a broke teen which led me to play all the free rpg games on VGpersons website. I recomend it if you're interested !
saw the first minute, decided instantly to play end roll, a great choice, sadly if i had missed this video i wouldn´t had know the existence of end roll. wish there's more content like this laying around youtube. i think both are very different, they may share some stuff but the background and the story made the two games unique.
Glad you liked the game ! I'm trying to make more content Haha !
The internet algorithm doing its thing and recommending this video to me a few days after I beat the game and posted about it on Twitter.
End Roll is basically OMORI before OMORI, but with better visual storytelling and a rather gruesome conclusion, regardless of the ending you get. I liked how both games handled grief and guilt, and even though I couldn't really empathize with him, Russell's situation is way too fucked up and makes me wish he was able to at least try again.
I'm glad the algorithm is in my favor for once ! So you think End roll has a better visual storytelling ? That's surprising since the graphics are not as good as Omori's ! I don't think you wrong, I'm just surprised !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Visual storytelling doesn't necessarily have to do with graphics though, it's mostly about how the environment shows you a character's thoughts, feelings, mental state, etc. without a textbox telling you that "the character feels A or B about this thing"
e.g. Russell's father and how he is presented as a green monster thing instead of having a humanoid appearence. You know Russell hates his father, but feel how disgusting he thinks he is ONLY when he appears
@@Akari_A_ Ah ! I see what you mean ! And I do agree. That game is full of symbolism !

I finally had the time to watch this video and boy was it worth.
End Roll was one of the first few games that introduced me to rpgmaker back then and I had the silliest smile on my face when I saw your video. End roll??? In 2024??? Am I in my Happy Drea-
Jokes aside, I love how you pinpointed the important scenes from the game and the comparison between omori and end roll, really enjoyed watching and listening to your voice!
Also!! Good luck with your game!! The character designs of Pluto and Gaelle are just too adorable!! 🩵💚

FINALLY SOMEONE'S TALKING ABOUT IT, THANK YOU!!!
NO PROB !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 i just finished watching your video 🥺 the music and all the explanations made me want to replay endroll immediately. Although usually I just load one of my late save files, when Russell is on his island, and pretend everything is normal again 😭
Thank you for appreciating Chris and the Puddle!! After everything we've been through, it was so nice to meet at least one true friend. This game truly is an experience. You're right, it's not even a side-quest per se, but you still find yourself returning to the location and just talking to Chris, just spending some time with his family.. It gives you such warmth. If you remember, someone in the Puddle mentioned how it's dangerous at night and there're cases of kidnapping/dissappearing. And then this location just disappears one day. I reaaaaaaally hope it doesn't mean Chris just vanished one day in the real world too. But the game rarely mentions something for no reason, right?.. Moreover, the disappearance of his one close friend could also be a trigger for Russell's killings. Or maybe I'm looking too much into it.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, if Russell ends up successfully completing the experiment, the government is ready to free him?.. Totally ignoring, how he would adapt after everything or what would be public's opinion. That's another level of why everything is so tragic in the end (you'd probably have seen fanarts of Russell surviving? I cannot imagine how he would just come back to the "normal" life after learning how great is the happiness he robbed people of).
Kantera and Mireille are also so interesting to me. They probably could have been such good friends and support for Russell, but, as you've said, they basically forced this kid to get rid of the two people who were so close to him. And of course he couldn't turn them down, because they were his friends! I love how complex both characters are, but I would lie, if I say I don't feel frustrated with them a bit because of what they did to Russell.
Oh, another tiny detail is the bonus room where you can talk to our silent protagonist and finally hear what he has to say! I really liked that! Although at that point I just wanted to cry after his every line, haha...
Anyyyway, really sorry about the long text! >< I'm really happy to see an analysis video about Endroll. All the differences and similarities... ahh, it's just so good! I totally agree that Omori was dragging a little too much, even if it was on purpose. I had more fun exploring Happy Dream, trying to find all the manifestations of Russell's trauma and guilt and looking forward to what will change in certain locations the next day.
Endroll opened for me the world of Segawa's games and I ATE THEM, I mean, I've happily finished them all recently and they were sooo good.
Once again, thank you for the video!! (sorry for mistakes >
@@vyckygy6626 Oh wow ! This comment was a trip ! XD I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way !
I never thought about Christ disapearing !!! I hope that's not the case !!
Yeah, I do think the ending of the gouv releasing a trauamtize Russell is just so tragically real. I also love that the song playing in that ending is called "Success".
I honestly thought this video would have like 3 views, so I'm really glad I found poeple like you who appreciate it !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 sorry, got too excited 😆
This is so good re kinder being one of my favorite rpg as well
Yeah ! That was is...woof...another heavy one !
Played end roll, finished it yesterday, loved the characters, the scenarios changing, the music (even if it loops at around 15 seconds sometimes lmaoo), sadly, I feel like a lot of characters required development (aka second interactions with them at the place they were killed, like a rerun of the dungeon, like gardenia had it) but never got it, especially ones at later days, which is sad, wish the game had another week, at least 2 days per character so they can truly develop, because there's characters he didnt know irl like cody and dogma (didn't know them at all so he kinda guesses the type of person they were), saxon, tabasa, those don't require much development, and they still have some of it in the form of the interactions, but characters like Yumi, he did get to know well irl, however she gets 0 personal development with him in the dream, unlike kantera and mireille which did get development, and I felt there's a lack of endings too, at least one good one, but I expected it to end this way anyways, there's no way after all that trauma and murder he would forgive himself, the best ending is unironically the one where you get more world building in the bonus area, which isn't canon
Glad you like ! And yeah, it's not a perfect game, the character developpment is unblaced. But it's a really decent one !! And yes, in my heart, the bonmus room is the real ending !
Modders, Omori, fictional adulthood mod, how that sound I am fighting laughter, that would be comedy what do you think 🤔
Could be fun ! Could be sad too I think. (In the good omori way of course)
An end roll after story would also be interesting
@@Zz-_- You mean...like...a funeral ?
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 No the other characters life afterwards
Oooo right never mind
4:19 Guys, I have somewhat experience with creating a story and, yes, sometimes two great minds have the same great idea.😅
Hello! Your video got me to try out Endroll, it was quite an interesting game to play ngl :D
I enjoyed my time playing through the game, it wasn't boring at all to play through it! The battles aren't overwhelming for me, and the story is pretty good despite it being VERY dark-
The main characters are alright (the Informant is a pretty interesting character for me), although the characters from the Dreamsend Inc. could use some more importance in the game imo..?
Either way, it was an awesome experience to play the game! The ending made me cry, and Endroll pushed me to try more rpgmaker games ^^
Oh wow ! I'm glad to hear it ! It was the point of that video after all ! I hope you play other horror rpg games and like them as well !
I haven't actually played any RPG Maker games, but I have a real soft spot for them. I hope to play Ib and Yume Nikki (and maybe some of its fangames) one day, and OMORI is one of my favorite games that I haven't actually played. I haven't heard of this game before, but I'm certain I've seen the portrait sprite at 32:28 somewhere, probably a video thumbnail. And that art at 34:28 with Sunny, Madotsuki, Russell, and the rest is too precious.
I'm glad we came to the same conclusion regarding stairs.
They ARE dangerous ! Let's all be careful out there !
That's fair and relevant,so i have played both games and paid attention to both their fanarts.xd
Yeah ! Fanarts are the best !
GOD, I LOVE Endroll, man! I remember watching one person's gameplay of it for multiple times because idk, man. I just really like it! (And also because that person's voice is relaxing to listen to)

Well looks like it's time for the other parts of me to die and find a partner for OMORI

Im not interested to play Omori but thank you for talking about End Roll because man... that game is just hitting hard
i wish we could get more translated game from segawa but i think it will be hard 😢

(for future reference: I only watched to the part saying to go in blind)
I downloaded it, I'll add my thoughts once I've finished the game XD
Great ! Can't wait to hear them !
I finished it!
GDJGAHFJFGJDG 😭😭😭😭😭
I was so happy seeing him complete the program why did it end like this?! It was heartbreaking watching this kid's guilt finally get to him. I really don't think Russell's a bad person at heart, just ended up down a bad path.
Really glad I went in blind, it didn't scare me as much as Omori did (well, until the part where you confront the monsters representing his parents and the ending), but I think I just knew better what to expect from these types of games.
10/10, I'll definitely play it again to see the other endings (I got a code to use for replays so that's cool)
I can't get over how much Russell looks like Basil XD
Also omg Mari has a twin named Gardenia wow
Oh I don't remember fighting my double, must be a different route XD
@@-themightymittens- That's the bonus ending. It is super hard to beat him. But if you do, you get access to the bonus room which is a real treat. You get to hear Russell talk !!
I've been telling people about End Roll even before Omori came out, I'm glad some friends tried it, and it ended up being their favorite games too.
Thanks for covering End Roll, I love that game to pieces.
Also, may I ask what's the music box song in the intro? It's been haunting me that I can't remember where I heard it
Glad you like the video ! The music from Wadanohara and the great blue sea. It's called Sweet dreams, I think.

If you have 50+ hours to burn and are really looking for something to really sink your teeth into when it comes to a depressing story, try Seraphic Blue. Just be warned, it is not just the story that hits hard, it is also the difficulty as well. It does broach quite a few sensitive topics that for some may be too much to handle.
I have actually never heard of that game before ! Sadly tho I am extremely bad at games, so I might have to be content by a let's play ! But thanks a lot for suggesting it !
Your question of “how many times has the ending of a game made you cry” made me think of a specific game, and I’d be kind of curious to hear what you have to say about it. The game is called Bad End Theater, and it’s not really a horror game per se, however it’s an extremely dark puzzle game. I don’t normally cry at fictional media, but I’m not exaggerating when I say the ending made me start full on sobbing the first time
O...M...GOOOD ! I loooove that game ! And its creator ! Did you know they made like 10 other games !! You should really check them out ! The creator's name is NomnomNami !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 I actually did know that!
@@Dr_Mortis_SCP Great ! Many just know Bad End theatre so I wanted to make sure !!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 Yeah. Most people probably know about it from Markiplier, so I can definitely see why they wouldn’t realize NomNomNami made other games
Omori broke me too
so glad that someone is talking about end roll too! i always encourage people who like omori to check out end roll because i feel like they'd find the story points, emotional beats, and even combat familiar yet different!
also i gotta ask what's the game at 34:21 bc that looks SOOOOO familiar! that might be the game i've been looking for for years!
It's "Bury" ! You know it ?
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655i think so? i was looking around for an old rpg maker game the that i downloaded from tumblr years ago with that detailed pixel art style that's set in a vaguely victorian/edwardian period with a main cast of three characters, a girl, a boy, and an older man.
i definitely am forgetting some things but that might be bury because i remember that game have a literal dark and dreary atmosphere! i'll have to check it out to make sure!
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 sorry for the late reply! i was looking this game up and YES, THIS IS ACTUALLY THE GAME THAT I PLAYED WHEN I WAS A KID! i remember downloading this game in tumblr and playing it in my second laptop! i also remember not getting to finish it because i lost the walkthrough.
i know that this video has a different intention but thank you so much for letting me remember this game! i've been looking for it for years and just recently knew that all translations are taken down by the game's creator and there was a remake at around 2021. no wonder i can barely find anything about the game!
@@sheedokdeedok Haha! Great ! No,the point of this channelis to show obscure things that ae good. So it's still on brand for me !
If it's not on the Nintendo switch I can't really play it sadly
That's very sad. But there are many let's play on UA-cam !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 thanks for letting me know !!
@@mikuenjoyerXD No prob !
If you want to watch a LP, I recommend ManlyBadassHero
... Yeah, corny name. But he does make good videos
You, honestly lost me, when you started talking about Omori's real world
I admittedly only saw it in a Let's Play, but... That's because I honestly hate the RW, and don't want to do the "normal" route
And while watching the LP, I started to want the LPer, to just hurry up and go to the DW
When I think of Omori (game), I think of the DW. And when I think of the main cast, I think of their DW versions
You should try to see the Hikkikomori route then ! Where Sunny never gets out of his house !
I Like SILENT HILL 2
Where can I play end roll?? I just paused after you suggested going in blind so I will! But where/what devices can I play on?
I put a link in the description ! (It's PC only) Have fun ! ^^
Where can I watch a playthru of endroll besides manlybadasshero ? I like him but I’m looking for a more ‘energetic’ commentary maybe one that makes some jokes (yes I know game ain’t funny) etc lol
BakaWashu made one too. I wouldn't say he's energetic, but he does make some jokes ! We really need more Let's plays of End roll !! Feel free to harass your fav let's player about it !! (don't harrass...it's mean..)
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 facts my fav indie player is GSD Boxer why he don’t have more subs I’ll never know and I’ll check his out cuz I don’t need screaming and yelling but sometimes Manly voice make me doze off lol
@@jczbas HAha ! Yeah ! I get it completely ! I don't know GSB Boxer ! I'll defenitely check it out ! Thanks !
@@cinnamonpumpkin7655 his playthrus of Lisa and all fan games are CHEFS KISS and any indie he plays is a good sign imma want the game he’s been on a horror kick lately lol
Thank you so much for making this video,,! The moment you said “this game is best going in blind” i stopped the video and immediately downloaded end roll,, i did not regret it!! ;w; as an omori fan, i really did enjoy end roll… like a lot and it’s all thanks to you making this video!🤍🤍
I'm so glad ! That was the point !!
