This game has an incredible amount of lore. They gave a back story to the back story. They created a world and a history for the game but didn’t make it too hard to understand. Very well done!
Someone should be taking notes *ahem*
And then there's the rest of the Saga! The Northbury Grove Quadrilogy, the Dread X duology, and don't get me started on the lore from the concept albums, which has been the backbone of this franchise since like 2013! This universe is MASSIVE and I'm glad it's finally getting super big (the games at least)
Yeah this is a really great way to explain the lore and not difficult to understand “cough” (FNAF) “cough”
Fnaf is dsmn near impossible to understand.
@@HamazuraGOD Wait the Dread X games are related to this?? And I thought Northbury Grove was a single game?
I find it ironic that the one of the only planets that’s said to contain life is called scythe. A weapon commonly associated with the grim reaper, the symbol of death.
The planet El'Leh used to have life but when that dumbass Dr. Carpenter opened that portal to Khyvin, it brought whatever lived on Khyvin onto El'Leh and killed everyone, though the creatures might still be there but it's doubtful because of environmental differences.
Also, Carthanc used to be the civilized planet until the Carthancian Apocalypse happened and some of them managed to escape to Scythe!
@@HamazuraGOD I do not remember any of that from the video, but let’s go with that as well. Bare minimum, it’s still funny.
@@harmlesstherobot7181
It's not from this game, it's from a different entry in the franchise!
I think itz just a nod to the devs, scythe team devs. Not that deep
@@pancakes8816
Scythe Dev Team is named after the planet. The dev team came after it
It’s kinda funny that our way of combat in this game is typically ‘non-violent’. We’re using burgers to fight our opponents, not picking up weapons (or crafting those bombs to fight either come to think of it). The stimulation was originally designed as a means to remove the need yo use for violence. Seems interesting there isn’t a conventional way to fight inside it.

👍👉👈
It's a neat detail really
@@gabby_5820 For real there's a lot of details
I kinda love how the game had low graphics to play off how horrible the sim was, but real life was “high def” and much more realistic
So? *eats burger from happy humble * mmm
@@michaelchristie2595 how did you get that?
@@michaelchristie2595 LARPing in UA-cam comments is cringe.
@@JaxonElzinga I thought it was normal roleplay, I thought live action was like, actually doing it real life and not on phone
@@tiredlilemo Either way, it's cringe to roleplay in the UA-cam comments.
"Let's serve up another slice of horror game explained" is honestly such a creative way to start a video
Yup
I agree
I agree to
He didn’t say that tho
Oml “Ball Monkuma Stan” I-
I feel sorry for toe as he knew that bad things were happening but couldn’t do anything and eventually just become a mindless shell
Same
When I learned What happened to Toe, I couldn't decide whether to be terrified or depressed for him.
🦶
I felt bad for him. I wish there was an option where you could save him, too. An insane person doesn't know they're insane, but one who hasn't lost all sanity yet knows that they're slipping away, but they can't do anything about it.
@@bigsam8597 same:(
Did anyone else notice Toe runs to work as if he's driving a car... Since he is E7 the previous 'experiment' maybe he's the main character from the demo release that was played where you drive to work... In his head he's still sort of stuck in that simulation
I don’t think Toe is E7 as V.I.C. directly refers to him as “that Toe guy” and not E7
We played as E7 in the demo not toe
I honestly thought he was pantomiming (and failing at) riding a bike. But now that you mention it I can sort of see it.
Doesn't the game kinda spell it out for you? There's a tape that says that it's from Toe, but when you listen to it, it's E7.
@@natalie-chanistrash7214 but there's a tape from toe... where he even says his full name... and it's a completely different voice form e7, since e7 sounds american(or equivalent in this universe) and toe sounds Australian (again equivalent)
I wish there was a way to save Toe, maybe with an extra helmet or smth. It's heartbreaking hearing his recording begging for help and you're forced to leave him there
Ever since I saw you play this game I've been waiting to see you break down the story!
Your explanations always make it easier to understand games with complex stories like these!
i agree
His explanations are great.
Amen to that. Always a highlight
Funny how “Elysian” means paradise when really this game’s world is pretty much hell
Well, you know the phrase “ignorance is bliss?” I think that’s what they meant. You were supposed to ignore all this, follow the manager’s directions and such, and by doing so you’d be able to live life, albeit mundane as it may be, it’s still life and your paradise I suppose.
I thought it was called Elysian because it kind of sounds like illusion, which would be a huge hint as to the fact that the world is not real
City on the hill.
After watching 30 minutes of this, I'm actually speechless. I've never seen a horror genre game portray modern consumerism and late-stage corporatism in such a mature, symbolic manner. I can only hope for another installment coming in the next few months from now, thank you so much for covering this.
Pity the switch port was poo. Horrible controls ruined an otherwise awesome game
I’m so happy to have been involved in this project after watching the video. Your analysis is spot on and I can’t wait to green light more Happy’s Humble projects!
Thank you for this masterful game! What do you think about the game? Do you think we will get more lore after this in the future? Can't wait
This is such an amazing horror game, I hope more games like this will show up in the future
Better then the bullshit poppy playtime
@@BOOBERRY105 yea i wish this was the hit indie game this year and not poppy playtime
@@BOOBERRY105 What's so bullshit about it?
@@skrall2782 i know and this one is more scary then poppy playtime

A few interesting things:
+ There is at least 3 more games in the series, there are in total of 4 different simulations according to the paper in the first ever game, and the E42 game was only the first one. Suggesting the story will be continued.
+ We might have a chance to encounter past survivors in the next future games, we still have characters like Maverick Cooper and E7 whom fates are still unknown to us.
We need to see Maverick, He's so vague even though he revealed one of the deepest parts of lore.
Ok
The story explained videos are always the best in my opinion.
Agreed
True, but his Bendy theories are a close second
You bet.
I know right?!😆 But if you first watch the playtrough, and the game is really intresting, then the playtrough is better😉. Happy's Humble Burger Farm is one of the examples for the better playtrough.😃 But yes, the story explained is always the best🙌
I think his Monsters explained videos are better. At least these videos give us a chance to know the monsters better.
I basically cried when v.i.c said “I’m not sure I will meet you again” and felt a bit sorry with the muffled audio from the obscure staff but yeah it’s their karma 😭
He is just a robot ._.
Finally, I was very interested in that story.
It took so long I thought the game would die before it
Me finally understanding the purpose of this game-👁👄👁
12:57 How has no one noticed that Zaine Grimm looks almost identical to Cave Johnson!
From his age, to his pose!! They’re like long lost brothers!!!
Only problem is that the two are in entirely different universes
On the plus side, Grimm could be that universe’s Cave instead of Family

This game is sure like if a Horror game is even more like a nightmarish, insane, bizarre and scary fever dream.
and u have coma
Are you ok?
Have a stroke buddy
R/ihadastroke
V.I.C's death has to be one of the saddest deaths in all of gaming history.
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
yep
True
Yee
YEE
End of the game summed up in one sentence:
"You are free... and so is SHE."
Anyway this game was alot more intricate than I thought. Also I thought for sure that you can get more lore if you decide to stay here and not escape, therefore getting the bad ending. But since you didn't describe that, I guess that means the true ending is the way to go; or rather the true ending gives you just as enough lore without needing to sacrifice yourself to get more info.
What lore did he miss
@@dragb9284 It's something that he speculated himself and not something that's 100% confirmed. Basically he guessed that he might get more lore of the game if he just did what the overlords tell him to do and get himself trapped there forever or something.
What I'm curious about is what the other three classes are, like the grave one, and we'll there be games about them? I hope so, I'd love to see how the other classes work
I'm pretty sure, there will but in a different title.
So basically, that doctor Bioshock'd everyone
"Would you kindly..."
Would you kindly cease to exist?
LMAOOO
I still wonder why we never saw the secret fisherman character or much of Sammy the salmon.
Maybe in a potential sequel?
Sammy was trapped in the sewers(which you have no reason to investigate), and it’s highly possible the fisherman wasn’t popular enough to design merch/animatronics for, hence why there is no asset for them
If you want to see him i suggest you watch the Lets Play by CJU
YES! I swear, your videos are so. Enjoyable. I have really liked you play throughs and have been waiting for the Story explained. Keep up the good work, congratulations and thank you!
3:57 Tex Vanaver seems similar to the animator Tex Avery, not to mention the introduction opening at 4:06 is also identical to the Looney Tunes one. Also the way Vanaver wanted to rebel against the happy go lucky charm the previous cartoons had and went with a more horror is similar to how Tex Avery wanted to change the idea of animation to not be just for children like the way Disney presented animation, but also could be adult and sexual in nature.
Well, back when animation was starting out it was for everyone. The shows could be enjoyed by anyone and were shown between movies and news segments in the early days of cinema.
Chuck Vanaver is also a reference to Chuck Jones, the guy who created Pepe Le Pew, Penelope Pussycat, Marvin The Martian, and Wile. E. Coyote and Road Runner.
And”The Twins” style looked like Joe Murray’s cartoon Rocko’s Modern Life
This universe has got so many to work with, they could do games from the perspective of someone who went on vacations to the resort, to one of the obscura/paragon workers, as well as the victims of the other simulations as the hospital or the graveyard
I really like how the Work Intro Booklet in the apartment has fully new versions of the Barnyard Buds characters with different drawings for each page, while all other places where they appear as their previous versions they simple have copy-pasted images, this shows that Obscura tried to make it as realistic as possible but also culdn't be bothered to redraw characters so it wouldn't look suspicious as to why they are the same every page
But overall I love the artstyle of the characters, all versions, the classic ones capture the early black&white cartoon style and vibes perfectly, the monstrous versions have that terror feeling to them, the mascots in the restaurant have the kid-friendly vibes as well as the one with the life lessons to them and the Work Intro Booklet versions have that modern charm to them that's supposed to welcome in new workers
Idk why it surprises me That his tone and voice sounds so serious in these videos but when it’s gameplay it’s normal
You would make an amazing audiobook narrator! Seriously, your voice is one of a kind.
Soothing
This game can easily be turned into a successful horror film. The only thing is that they may have to change Scythe to Earth, since it would confuse the audience.
unless your aiming for an "inception" or "total recall" situation where the ending may or may not just be part of the simulation. after all, the simulation is supposed to have a "trauma based climax" and that happened when we tried to break out.
I watched the whole playthrough of this and this explanation sums up everything perfectly.
I'd love to see a video about Shady Part of Me. It's nothing spooky or horror related, but the story behind it is very interesting and I haven't seen anyone talk about it since it's release. I feel like it deserves more attention, and the gameplay itself is really something else. I think there might even be a secret hiding somewhere, but I don't know how to get to it or if it's a secret at all or just another neat detail. Anyway, just a suggestion for another game to look into if you're interested. I look forward to your next video!
Me before watching this video:
Another FNAF-styled haunted mascot game?
Me after watching this video:
A game about simulations, alternate history, shadowy biotechnology corporations and ancient supernatural entities.
The boss sounds like phone guy tho-

Why does this give the same vibe as "A platypus? PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"

@@OpwzRouge 🎶perrryyy🎶
I love these story explained videos. Such lore, story and explaining in these.
honestly, basing an entire franchise (anime, kiju spinoffs, and video games) on a kids cartoon is a horrible idea
Two words: Scooby Apocalypse
While I’m not aware of whatever demographic they first targeted, I dislike Marvel and DC due to the fact that they use the same characters for children’s and adult content. It just makes you lose appreciation for the characters, as they’re portrayed in a dark way you wouldn’t have expected from them.
@AxolBoi No offense, but you're kinda half- wrong. Yes, The Banana Splits Movie was based on the original cartoon series, but the movie was mostly based on FNaF.
Transformers?
"fire in the studio" is the equivalent of "the isekai truck" for horror franchises
truck-kun has a name you know
wdym by the isekai truck?
@@AinsleySunny usually anime people in the normal animes die by getting hit by a truck. isekais start a lot with this one death
Honestly, never once did I expect a game like this to have such a deep lore. It's amazing.
Been anxiously waiting for this since you finished the game. I kind of did wish you went more into detail about the assets, but maybe the future.
So, we got an evil corporation doing things they shouldn't and ended up dooming humanity with their Hubris. Why does it always have to be a giant evil company in horror games? Is it because of Resident Evil? Is it because they started the trend?
Good question. It would seem that there is a tendency for companies to become corrupt the larger they get, especially when they become corporations. There is so much power involved. That is why monopolies had to be dealt with back in the day. There are modern corporations that are basically new types of monopolies now. I know there are people that talk about how some tech companies have more power than countries. Maybe the trend in fiction is there because of artists observing reality.
Cuz it's typically more realistic for a group of individuals with power to do corrupt world-ending shit than some random shmoe living in their parents' basement or something?
Evil corporation doing shady stuff is trope from the beginning of time almost. RE would have adopted it as well.
It's because it's usually corporations doing world ending nonsense in the name of profit, PR, or power.
Its harder for an evil mom and pop business to get to this level. Plus you can only accomplish so much with a single local establishment and a few teenagers that work part-time.
This whole thing feels like it should’ve been a dystopian sci Fi movie about consumerism or something.
1:26 I like this design of the burger mascot better then the final/modern one that's in the sequel. Looks more cute/approachable so seeing it turned dark and scary would it more unnerving but the current/modern one is already kind of unnerving which is no difference to some real life fast food mascots but I guess that's just my anthro animal appreciator bias talking.
True, i also like that design the most
@@DM-Oz There was another that showed that Happy Heifer design along with the rest of the Barnyard Buds in that style that was shown in this video but I have seemed to have lost track of it.
I agree.
The other designs are way too "dumb" cartoon like for me and the creepy versions are disturbing to watch (the chicken however looks really cool with his evil smile).
Thank you for bringing up the whole Scythian Solar System aspect! It's one of my favourite aspects of the Scythe Saga and I feel like not enough people know about it. I always get a kick when we get to learn more information about the other planets, especially the farthest ones!
😊😊😊
You got one tiny piece of information wrong. Maverick Cooper is a free lance reporter not a DJ. While it isn't mentioned here it is mentioned in their other game Cultists & Compounds.
How many games do they have?!
Okay seriously, I can't stop watching this. I am a addict for game lore of any kind and this is my fix.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Seems like I've been looking this video up at least once each day!
You actually got your Happy's lore backwards. It was supposed to be more graphic and then was forced to be family friendly. After the original run, it went back to the PTSD nightmare that it was supposed to be, going back and forth from there. They were originally drawings from war notebooks done in the trenches, not school notebooks.
I doubt it.
@@romaniglesias8331 Yeah it literally explains in the game that the doodles were done by a war veteran while in the trenches. However the thing about it starting graphic sounds wrong. But old cartoons weren’t actually for kids anyway, so idk
@@romaniglesias8331 you can find the lore in the game. On some of the older panflets I think. You just have to did for the secrets.
SHB Mike: "Grab a happy meal..."
Me: *Pauses video to order Mcdonalds
You did an amazing job with this video, Mike!
This was very well done wrapped everything up thanks mike :) I was wondering about how the creatures were made and now after this I understand :)
Will you be doing a full “Monsters Explained” video like you did with Alice or Dark Deception? I watched the play through and stuff so I understand the context of them within the story, I just find those specific videos interesting.
I love these too! Especially with spookys house!
You're about 9 months too late for that buddy
Seems like this game was very straight forward lore and story wise. It explained everything
Everytime a new horror game come out he plays it uploads the info about it and I makes my day
I don't know why, but learning the history of this games universe makes me think of Oddworld. I think it might just be the corporate despotism and dystopia, along with the level of lore of an alternate world
Man, this game is incredibly bizarre.
That's a lot of STORIES for a one game, I'm amazed!
It’s because it’s not from one game. These stories that make up this game comes from about 17 years of work. Story making, albums, games.
@@cannolithearcticfox4405 That's why I said *I'M AMAZED!*
@@cannolithearcticfox4405 A lot of it is all in the single game though! Which is impressive
You, the player: Finding secrets that can change your life, that everything is a lie, that you are an experiment...
The game: The only thing you had to do is to make burgers...IS IT THAT HARD???
BTW nice video, i am a big fan of yours :)
I don't know if you bring this up but I discovered it on my own but in the flashback in the resort, there's posters on the walls including those of missing people attached with subject names. E7 is one of them... and it was a five year old child, implying that E7 was the missing boy. So when they said that they've kidnapped him for years, they really meant _YEARS!_ It also proves that what we see in Barn wasn't his first experience.
A good handful of major horror gaming channels didn't do this game justice. The back story was so much deeper than was presented in their videos, and I'm glad to have stumbled on this one.
I'm a sucker for lore so it was really cool hearing this story.
I'm new to the game, so I'm glad you explained it.
Not gonna lie, my favourite part of your gameplay was actually when you’re working in the farm and making the burgers and stuff, but only in the burger farm game. The burger barn one was a little mundane no offence
This is one of those times where the SHB video is more interesting than the actual gameplay
I never would have thought that demo would end up as this. Really amazing!
I really wanna learn more about toe and happy, very interesting video though! The game is very creepy but after learning about it, definably one of my favorite horror games! You always amaze me on how you can explain the story so simple almost like you created the game. Keep up the amazing work and I hope I can see more scary adventures!

Hey, I know you've just finished a spooky game, but I was honestly hoping you could play Paranormal HK. The translation and lip syncing is a little weird, but I really like the ghosts and the stories behind them. I've looked everywhere for an explanation of the ghosts, and no one has done it. This is why you're always my go-to.
Bruh the scene where the workers die.
•Gun shots and screams• 'Wait!' •flesh gets torn off or eaten•
'get it off! No no no!' •gets eaten•
Damn sends chills down my spine every time
the amount of passion in this game's stories is INSANE. to have this very deep and complicated story in the medium of a video game is just amazing. I feel like a lot of creator (like myself) should absolutely take some inspiration. I want to make art and animations for video games as a career, and game like this and The Cult of The Lamb are huge inspirations. I absolutely love this game's story and visuals, the low quality in the simulation really emphasizes an uncanny feeling and horror
0:23 lol I was eating a McDonald's happy meal
:[
"I'm loosing my memories" That fact Toe sounds so causal when taking about how he's loosening his memories made me laugh my ass off.
It makes more sense when the story is explained.
This is the one game I’ve actually had a nightmare about
Awesome video! Quick question: how long was Ryder knocked out/asleep when remembering the event from 5 years earlier? VIC said it was a long time. And also, if it was a very long time, is Toe still alive? Is he still wandering aimlessly? Just asking these questions because I haven’t seen a play through that answers this.
Toe is most likely still braindead at this point.
“Child murderer who becomes fused with an animatronic and an entity”
Wonder where I’ve heard that before……..
Boy this is ALOT Deeper than I thought I figured it was just a fast food joint that's haunted no more no less
When a game where you make burgers actually turns out to be about intergalactic wars, mind control, false realities and government coverups
FINALLY A HHBF AKA HAPPY'S HUMBLE BURGER FARM
STORY EXPLAINED YEEEEEEEES
I've been waiting ever since I saw the part with Charlie the Chicken to see a story explained video of this game. finally!
Am I the only one who thinks their should be a movie adaptation of this?
14:06
Same mistake as in the playthrough, the note says "Entrainment" not "Entertainment". I also got it wrong when I first read it but it made no sense so I read it again and got is right then ;)
My theory is that the workday could represent mental health. The monotonous cycle of the day repeating over and over again can represent how you can feel bored and useless in life, the wave of your own depression getting you stuck in what feels like a never ending cycle of repetition. Maybe V.I.C can represent a loved one or therapist helping you feel better and recover?
I've not been this excited for a story explain/game explained since FNAF explained also FNAF is only a few day away from releasing security breech horray

I was wondering for this game story and BAM
u just slapped it right on on UA-cam with what I want!
This looks good. Now can you imagine...an open world version of this? Bouncing between VR and AR and reality, and high end Nation and graphics...and the budget required? Holy crap...order up!
E7 sounds so damn happy when talking about escaping, I haven’t finished watching yet, but I get the feeling he’s dead
So E7's fate was at the end of the prologue game, the Barn, right?
Yes
No, they say in this game that they were moved from the barn to the diner and then to the place we are working at with Toe
Never watch this at night unless you don't want to sleep I learned from experience
Idk why, but I would love to see a sequel of this game. Sort of seeing it like a trilogy in my mind, but to where we have to face happy, one final time
To basically save humanity and as well as spreading the truth about both obscura and paragon
Superhorrorbro: The Butcher of Northbury Grove
Me, who just got done watching Matpats cooking companions videos cause I'm on a horror game theory video streak today: THE BUTCHER OF ZAKOPANE!!!!!
thanks for doing an explain video on this! it was easy to digest with so much secrets & lore behind the game!
God, it has been forever since I watched this channel
As someone who is deathly afraid of hypnosis, this story really does speak for me.
Thank you for making this video! On my play through I’d had lost some of the information about the entities so this was a great dive into the lore I needed!
if a show was based on this game and went deeper into the lore, i would probably be a loyal watcher of it.
What makes this so eerie is that stuff like this is happening right now. Televisions, phones, marketing. They are all forms of mind control.
hey SHB mike I love your videos so much They help me understand horror games I don’t understand and I’m very grateful for you doing that Which is why I love your Channel I just wanted to say I hope you have a merry good Christmas!
I'm so glad you went through all this, bravo btw that seems like a ton of stuff, and for playing the full game since nobody else really has or at least I haven't seen anyone do it
I watched a UA-camr called Skorpi play this too, its a pretty cool game! Very strange one though lol. But the effort put into the game amazes me. From the manual book to the tapes and hidden notes everywhere, this is definitely a game to remember!
Love your videos man your a great person keep up the good work and keep going and do what you’re doing
Is it only me that feels bad to the original creators of Happy and co, they just wanted to make people happy, but their characters became monsters
23:59
This giving me outlast vibes.
The journalist
The whistle-blower
The capture
The terror
is it just me or is it especially fitting that the mascots featured in this game are barn animals escaping their human masters, and we play as a victim of people trying to exploit humanity like livestock
