My move is A 1

i cant watch right now manly im on my way to campus
A 1 for sure
"Oh my God! Really?"
"Yes.
*_I just need to know which building you're in."_*
That's haunting.
Seriously, that’s actually horrifying.
I had to pause the video after that line and check the comments for responses to it. That’s such a well done line- it’s horrible, it’s haunting, and so well written
Loose lips sink ships.
And how they slow down their speech and hang up afterwards.
Incredible.
@@SouperWyevil martincitopants:
Funnily enough, Battleship itself may have a higher bodycount considering how many people crew larger naval vessels. But realizing how cold-blooded the whole thing with that first tenant phone call was awesomely evil.
Difference being, in Battleship any casualties are soldiers - they are actively participating in a war.
In this game? These are tenants in buildings. _These are civilians._
Rada rada soldiers rada bat an eye rada rada Joker quote
Thx.
These concrete buildings seem incredibly dense, which means they probably are probably pacted with disposable civilians.
Unlike in BattleShip, where the ships vary in size which also means they vary in crew.
@@euniceamemberoftheevergive7029 An aircraft carrier alone can have between 3000 and 6000 personnel, let alone the other ships.
So the AI is scripted to miss all five shots in one turn so the player can get a phone call, but I wonder if someone intentionally missed all of their own shots beforehand to see how the AI reacts.
Probably wouldn't have mattered if it was scripted to go for a wipe after the phone call.
The AI is hard scripted. It always goes 5 hits, 5 misses, 5 hits, 5 hits, 5 hits, 5 hits. It always takes out the same buildings in the same order and missing your second salvo has no impact as the AI will always miss its second set of shots
@@old_sparky1365 which kind of blows that it's that scripted to be consistent because nobody that plays battleship is going to be that precise unless they are cheating.
@@cursedhawkins1305 So what you're saying is...
"The game was rigged from the start"
@@old_sparky1365 I'm glad that you revealed this, because it saved me the disappointment of downloading this game and finding out the hard way.
This does pretty good at the horror with the phone calls, but the way the buildings fall over sort of mitigates the horror.
Those were just small models falling over on a table. The real horror is the phone call connecting those simple models to living people.
Yeah, I kind of expected more rubble, sound, and screams.
@@cyberlemon9840 Screams would’ve dulled it even more for me unless they were paired with visuals.
yeah the buildings falling was very dubious
if the rumble was made more intense and dust far more extreme itd hit a bit more
“BOOM Baby!... I mean, oh, how horrible...”
Sincerity in its finest.
The duality of being a gunner
That says a lot about our society
Explosives placed!
@@gabrielsantosbastos5257Ah, I see you are a fellow dwarf working for Deep Rock Galactic
i think it be ALOT more dark if they added one or two more phone calls and hear the actual residents. but i guess it would make winning more easily and probably wont make sense
Maybe without having to mention in which building they are?
@@Crystalblood92 yeah and maybe make it that there are also other things that triggers the calls rather than only when the opponent misses all their shots
The rest makes perfectly sense🤣👍
I guess they really wanted to make all the horror in your head
If the game was more fleshed out/longer I think playing multiple rounds with different adjacent blocks of apartments, would have been the perfect setup for multiple different phone calls
the phone call realization shocked me ngl, it was clever in a very ruthless, callous way
The phone call was a way darker version spam calls for your car warranty except its for your life.
imagine if you fell for a scam call but instead of stealing your money they bomb your house
I utterly love the impact FAITH has. Anytime anyone hears that TTS voice, they are compelled to croak, "M O R T I S." I have yet to see anybody resist the temptation. The most infectious earworm.
absolutely, cheers. 🥂 (it's water)

This is unironically really nerve-wracking. The feeling this game gives is so intense.
I like how they don't show you the enemy's "board", makes it more realistic, since you're essentially just calling it in and don't have to see the direct results of your actions.
Yeah. I don't want to bring here any politics but think about Russia VS Ukraine. There's someone on the Russian side that is seeing the Ukraine map and is completely fine to decide which settlements to cut off from the warm water or heat during the winter. This is crazy.
Definitely, specially the reveal of what the "call" is all about. Not gonna lie, at the end I kind of expected you to load and actually use the pistol in an accurate way due to the dev's tendency for tedious realism, but I'm sure that would have eliminated some of the tension. Would be funny though.
@@Drejkol I was kind of thinking some Cold War-esque scenario that lead to a WW3 Mutually Assured Destruction event afterwards
@@Drejkol well I mean, Ukraine did same with Crimea back then
One overlooked thing is when you fly in a helicopter, you get a glimpse of enemy building locations.
Also, your own building arrangement seems to be the same as the enemy, just rotated.
A bit late, but
The "helicopter people" seem to be neutral ones or game hosters, as well as people who call you on the phone. So they may see both the layouts.
I like how the voice kinda lowers as he says
“I just need to know what building your in” cus it just triggers that
“Oh it’s that kind of game”

Except the ending. Literally and figuratively. 😒🔫
@@NorthernGreenEyes made that decision a couple months ago. Not my ending.
I love how this developer, like Zed_Technician (the one behind The Man From The Window) has been able to forge his own style that is so distinctive that you can almost instantly recognize when a game is one of his own.
Yames, is also pretty distinct, especially in theme
@@crypticentomologist3634 Who is Yale’s again (If he’s the dev of this game I apologize in advance for my ignorance)?
@@weirdtyrant6274 Yames' the dev behind Discover My Body, Water Womb World, Lips Like Velum, Growing Your Grandpa and The Well
But while Mike's calling card is tedious realism, Zed's is definitely easier to recognize. You probably know what I mean.
I had no clue this was his i only recognize his games from the cartoony artstyle
This is so good. And that phone call when someone completely misses is a highlight in a way. It’s the realization of playing with someone’s emotions like that and the lying that’s really surprising and hits hard. Also the details like hearing the other pop first when you win before still picking up the gun yourself make this so much more perfect
You can actually win?
@@darthplagueis7851 yes, after manly loses he wins
The gunshot being heard first also happens when you lose is just that manly talked right in the moment and he dint hear it
@@pochiluis0570 Dang you’re right. Guess our players just slower. I assumed whoever won did the job after the loser
was just about to say this! the fact that even the winner has to turn the gun on themself is so surprising.
I really like the concept. This game would actually make an interesting story like a dystopian world where war is settled by playing a sadistic version of battleships and luring unsuspecting civilians who are seeking refuge from the wars to live in the area, to make the stakes higher
It absolutely would. I'd watch it in a heartbeat. Sucker for dystopian horror.
Did you just give the story of the game and go "it would be an interesting story"?
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Yes. Yes I did. Is something wrong?
Besides we don't even know why they are bombing apartment buildings with people in them, who the people are, and what the actual end goal is (besides bombing all the enemy's buildings). If someone expand this game into a full-blown story then yes, it would be an interesting story
m8 this ain’t a story about a fictional world
I don't think there are two diferent governments envolved, so no war. I think it's just populational control.
This is insanely dark and super creative, I really like it. And people say creativity is dead.
Which people?
Mine is
Creativity still and will always exist, it's just that not everyone will appreciate it and to get publicity is very luck depending. There's a lot of awesome indie games out there. But AAA games regardless of how trash they are, they still get the mainstream attention easily because they got the cash to advertise it to a wider audience.
Creativity is just more rare now because most of the ideas have been used already. Its not dead but its harder to figure out an original idea.
@@BeyondDaX As Manly says, almost everything has been done already in horror, what matters most is presentation.
This Developer never really seems to disappoint.
You freaked me out for a second
@@gabrielciambelli6861 This is like the second time this week I've seen two people on youtube with the same profile picture

Unless you are expecting a happy ending :P

The consequences for a complete miss are just.... wow
Isn’t that good cuz you hit nobody?
@@therandomgamer3268the enemy are gonna call your tenants and lie saying there gonna evac them for there location
You can use that info to know what area your suppose to hit
@@therandomgamer3268 but then you get to call someone and you know the address so it wouldnt really change anything
I call this "dark deadpan" style of theme, and I love it. No fluff in the delivery, very straightforward, and this instance has a wonderful grit to it. it cuts deep but cleanly.
you talk like a serial killer
@@IndexMessenger Maybe he is one, you never know
Manly, as a slav(developer is also a slav) this is our rendition of battleship, although a bit changed, in our rendition you can't have ships near ships not normally, nor diagonally, you could win easier with this knowledge
Also, the helicopter view shows you where the buildings are :P (Except for a mistake on the 3 line, where the 3 and 1 are in the other possible spots)
Same for Canadian battleship tbh
Yeah the buildings are really similar for me (also a slav)
I also got instant flashbacks to the "False vessel" scene in Faith chapter three once that initial voice hit. Never scrubbing that from my brain, thanks Manly
I AM BEYOOOOOOND
MORTIS
I will say I do find the idea interesting, and possible symbolism etc
But I gotta admit I was kinda taken out of the immersion a lot when “oh, your opponent magically knows the exact location of all your buildings and is able to blow them up without flaw”.
The first time around, I thought "the opponent is cheating".
The second time around, I thought "but we're cheating better".
It was an interesting series of emotions, but like with you, it killed my immersion.
seems like the game either expects you to lose and don't try again or try again and cheat, killing all the immersion
Yeah, it would be more interesting if you *actually* play a round of battleship.
I can understand why they decided to script the opponent's moves rather than develop an AI but man, they should've scripted it so the AI missed some. Like, at least give the illusion of the player having a chance.
To be fair, it does look like you actually have the same map as the opponent, if you pay close enough attention to your own side's building positions.
A horror story for most, but a fairytale for real estate builders. Imagine the money to be made! Mortis/10. (This is why they don't allow roof access in most places. There are battleship stations on most roofs but they don't want you to know that.)
Been lots of videos coming out of China lately of real estate developers blowing up blocks of apartment buildings because they can't sell them or afford to finish them.
@@chucklebutt4470 *empty* buildings that've been empty for 10+ years. So it's cheaper to blow it up and salvage some materials than keep maintaining it for years and eventually have to demolish it anyway
@@chucklebutt4470 nah they doin it the same reason Stalin did just to keep people busy
Really interesting how the heli cutscene gives away both the layouts and the ending, but you won't realize it until playing a second time

@@TrueLegoXman He's True yknow
The way the player character's voice slows down slightly as they drop the line "I just need to know which building you're in," especially since it immediately follows the woman's excitement and relief at the prospect of a rescue really sold the game for me. It's a small detail but so, so strong
This is an amazing concept. What a shame, that there isn't more. Like actually playing battleship, instead of scripting. Randomized building placements, choosing your dialogue in the phone calls so maybe you miss on purpose so you can try to warn the people or try to communicate with the other player by constantly missing. Dev should expand this and sell it on steam.
I don’t think you got the message
Love the idea
@@AnonD38 I don't think you got the comment, just because you can't change fate doesn't mean that it shouldn't have some smart design behind it.
The game is so scripted to the point the other player isn't even a rudimentary AI. You're suppose to be playing against a player in a helpless situation where you can't change things.
Trying to miss every time would be acknowledged by getting a phone call saying "You're going to die if this continues." and maybe even show you the winner dying just to rub the fact in you changed nothing.
Everything ends with you being forced to use the gun or starve.
You could even go so far that you get different personalities for the enemy AI and some would miss with you purposefully which if you do long enough you'd even get a call saying "Let me help you." and automatically start targeting the other player perfectly.
You can keep the same message but improve upon it massively.
False hope can make it even stronger of a message.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 I was talking about the parallels to real life actually.
@@AnonD38 That isn't saying much.
Imagine getting a call from OSHA saying you're about to be evacuated, just to blow up half a minute later.

Anything can be made unnerving with the right setup, and Battleship is no different. This was great, I was not expecting how that phone call to the tenant would work but it made the game for me.

"Damn..."
*aggressively turns to the drawer*
That delivery was perfect
The biggest weakness is how obvious the scripting is for the sequence.
I assume they took the idea the player goes first means they have a high chance to get misses giving the "AI" a call, leading to a a them landing 5 shots and getting overconfident leading to their full miss. After that the "AI" thinks carefully and has near perfect accuracy.
We know there are lives at stake but who doesn't love a good game of battleship -- the stakes are high but Manly really seemed into the gameplay. Great game, looking forward to more from this dev
Sounds like an game based on USA warfare tactics.

Those f7 and h4 calls are the cherry on top of the fucked up shake. Quality content as always, Manly.
This is honestly one of the darkest and coolest games you have ever played on this channel, and holy molly that tenant phone call was pretty messed up. Imo the immersion would have been even better if they added a distant fire glow in the direction of the opponent buildings that gets more intense with each row of buildings you destroy and maybe even turn the buildings on the players end to a burning heap as well after those get destroyed. But as is, the game's is awesome
"This developer hasn't really missed at all so far. " *Winner*
Is it just me, or is manly's layout the same as the enemy layout rotated 90 degrees?
i was going to say something about that
it is
"Boom Baby"..."Oh I mean how horrible" 😂.
How easy we get lost in the idea of victory we forget the atrocities we are committing.
Me: Oh new random horror game!
Also me: Why do I feel like a demon is about to burst and some priest is gonna show up and do some exorcism?
Fun fact about this game from when I tried it. It's impossible to finish without getting a hit. There are 49 empty spots at the start, meaning you're guaranteed to hit at least once so you can't end the game without any blood on your hands.
this game sure gonna make you question humanity
Too late.
I was already questioning humanity
Game? Read the news. ruzzia kills civilians every single day. That's just what we DO know thus far.
Just noticed that the player and the AI have the same layout except the players is turned 90 degrees clockwise
ooooo that phone mechanic is the perfect blend of a game mechanic, and horror mechanic at the same time! like thats more “unnerving” (for lack of a better word) than a hiding from something. at least to me. theres something about a game letting you mindlessly kill people you cant even see, but when the enemy misses, you get a bonus, but that bonus is almost unwanted. as you now hear… exactly who you are about to 86. that shit is awesome!

Sure, you would win, but end up killing a lot of people both sides.
However, if you lose without fighting back... you end up being an unsung hero to them for only a few seconds until they "rearrange" the buildings
Except it's not your enemy, it's a random neighborhood with random people who are (probably?) in similar situation as your neighborhood. I guess there would be some incentive for temporarily saving your people over the strangers

I never schedule releases.
