I had assumed that the horror would be that Little Manly would turn out to be some sort of monster, when it turns out its actually the horror of having to say goodbye to a beloved friend.
I think most of us know that feeling. It's sad to see 'em go, but sometimes they're better off passing. A good day to you, and anyone you know who might need it.
**Manly when he's dealing with an animal in the game**: "Aww, come here, have a snack, sweety!" **Manly When he's dealing with a baby in the game** : [Puts him inside the stove].
@@tylisirn you can still get a pet, but it will feel like you've lost a part of yourself. That's what I felt and still feel. My cat Sunshine passed on January 21st, 2021. Buried her myself. Still have a picture of her on my bookshelf. The feeling goes away with time, a long time, but it does.
the part where you're saying goodbye and the fact that you have the choice to choose your final words to your pet, I couldn't help but think about my cat who died very young, very painfully- and I think that this game gives pet owners who are grieving a chance to say goodbye again, whether that was the developers intent or not, and it just makes this short, simple game so heartbreakingly beautiful.
This comment out of all the ones I read really spoke to me.... Thank you... I tried not to cry this whole game bc I miss my first best pet friend that got put down last year, due to health issues... I guess what I'm trying to say is this let me have another shot at mentally thinking this out towards her, so I just... I wanted to say thank you for commenting this, and that this had me get out some feelings I think I needed to feel and something I needed to read. I hope you have a good night or day, where ever you are!
Me too. My wife was very concerned when she saw me with a few tears rolling down my face. Then I showed her the video and she just told me to suck it up butter cup... I don't think she has a soul lol
That ending got me. A few years back I lost my dog, his name was Yogi. A lot of stuff had happened in a short time and we completely missed that he had gotten bit by a rattlesnake until it was too late for antivenom. The next few days were hard, it was possible for him to recover but he just kept getting worse. Finally we brought him to the vet and I was forced to hand him over to a person he didn't know while I filled out the paperwork. I finish and I'm shown to a room only for a vet to walk in moments later and tell me that he passed. It breaks my heart knowing that he died confused, scared, and surrounded by strangers. I never got the chance to say goodbye.
I work in an emergency vet. It's heartbreaking often, for those reasons and many more. I've had a few patients pass in my arms and I did my best to make sure they felt as little fear as possible, that they got lots of love and pets and sweet words.
At about the 10:00 mark, I asked myself "Why am I still watching this? I know how it ends." And it did. Even knowing the ending it still hit hard. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go play with my dog.
It was even worse for me with it having the Pokemon cry. God, I was so attached to the old Pokemon games as a kid and always wanted one of em to be real
This hit hard. The first time I watched it, I was like “Oh yeah, this is sad. I feel bad for the people who had to go through this.” Two days later, I have to put my cat down. I decided to rewatch the video and the final words Manly chose to say to Little Manly broke my heart, I would’ve said those words to my cat too. I bawled for a good 5 minutes before watching some kracc bacc. I’m kinda trying to deny the fact that my cat is dead, but other than that I’m fine.
it sure does. i lost my guinea pig nearly the same way seeing him in pain and not being able to walk or eat by himself hurt me a lot and now this ending just broke my heart once again
Okay, I'll be honest: I did actually shed a tear at the end. Being a pet owner, especially if you’ve lost pets before, makes it hit even closer to home. The creatures are adorable, RIP Little Manly.
I lost my cat 4 month ago. He was just 1 year old and died by a car crash. Kinda remembered me on it and i almost lost it at the end but in life you need to keep it together.
I cried like a baby for almost half of the video, the little buddy reminds me of my recently passed elderly dog. I loved her so much, and I knew she was already pretty old, but I tought that she would die of old age, not by the illness that killed her. She had already been ill with the same thing once, but made it trought, however this illness got worse when she had it again. Atleast she got to rest her old, fragile body. Still I'll always cry for her every once in a while.
As someone who recently lost their senior dog of many years, his name was Buddy of all things too, this hit really close to home, as it did for many others too I’m sure. Very sweet game if a little bittersweet.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know that pain all too well, though I had to say goodbye to my dog over a decade ago. As long as you remember that they loved you just as much as you loved them, you'll be okay.
I was expecting a horror twist all throughout and was practically begging for one at the end. This game is so cute and sad. I love how the house changes to show time passing.
it's crazy cuz his voice is so monotone yet he relays so much emotion through it anyway, even if subtly. There are even times when I find his voice cute or charming. It makes me feel less bad about my own lack of vocal expression haha.
This opens up old wounds of the cat I had growing up. 16 years of the little bugger, got to know her the day she was born in my grannys garage. While sad she was starting to lose her ability to get around and hardly eating. Better to remember the good times then the bad though, If you only focus on your pets last moments they will never truly pass on. Been 2 years since she was put down but I still think shes with me to some degree even it she isn't here physically...
I had one for 15 that disappeared one day, no body found, just gone.. Since birth, too. Don’t think I’ll ever forget him. If I do, I know that it would be my time to go myself.
@@panghor My cat got out once, not for long though. She was to scared to move and hid under the camper. I was so worried I went out barely dressed as soon as it happened to get her back to some warmth. Not sure why your cat decided to leave but hopefully he passed peacefully.
Similar experience. We had an abused, stray calico cat that my mum took in three years before I was even born. She had been there for me since the day I came into the world, and she was - and will always be - the closest thing to my heart. She gained cancer but overcame it. She had to get her ear cut off, and she looked pretty badass. But then she gained a tumour on her mouth, and it couldn't be removed due to where it was and its size. She passed in 2019 when she was 16 years old. Losing her put me into one of the most depressive places in my life since she had helped me through so much. It is a lot easier now. I still have photos of her that I keep in a folder to look at when I'm sad. And I have two other cats - who are the completely opposite of her, lmao. Sorry for the long ass comment, your comment just felt super relatable haha.
@@panghor They say cats will go somewhere secluded, where their owners or anybody else would not find them when they know their time is up...It's so that their "pack"/owners wont worry for them 😢
@@zakikong3210 Oh, their was a time where I couldn't find my cat and she was actually stuffed in a corner I really never went to behind a bunch of random stuff. She we even went back to the spot after I covered it back up somehow but she didn't die their. That week everyone left but me for vacation so she was probably just stressed but this is good to know.
I honestly didn't expect the ending, seeing "ADORABLE" creatures sorta raises my alarm when they turns out to be some sort of eldritch creature that's gonna maul your face off and eat your soul.
They look like lemons how nice I hope they dont turn into eldritch abominations Edit: I was so wrong bro that shit had me sad asf still a wholesome game
When I adopted my Dog, he was on death’s door. I went into debt to keep him alive, and he pulled through. He’s not even that old, and I still lay awake at night knowing that I’ll outlive him tenfold. I knew where this was going pretty early on. Even watching this video was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Cherish what you have, and build memories to look back on fondly for when they’re gone. They’ll live their whole lives knowing they’re forever loved.
Holy shit this hit close to home as a rescuer volunteer. I know along the way I should not allow myself to love them strongly as my own because the inevitable goodbye might come at any day. But saying **that** goodbye for the **last time** ever... I can't even explain it. I will always carry in my heart the little ones that couldn't make it, and cherish forever the ones that had their lives changed thanks to the people that decide to adopt. Really simple game, but a good message. Liked it a lot ♡
i got my cat velvet when i was around 9. I picked him because he climbed the highest up the chain door at the rescue and it made me laugh. I called him Velvet because he was soft and dark Velvet carried me through my parents divorce, changing of schools and subsequent bullying, an emotionally abusive step father and a chronic illness from age 15. He accompanied me through all of it until the day after my 21st, where he peacefully passed away after a few months of stomach tumors making him slower and creakier with every passing day. I had to hold him so gently whenever i was able to visit, and he always purred so loudly It'll be almost four years since then and regularly I'll suddenly want to hold him and cuddle him as he grumbles like an old man, but still leans into the pats. Watch him tap his water dish before drinking every time because of the one time when he was a kitten where it froze and he licked the ice. Hear him snoring like an old man in the corner of my room and scare the shit out of me at 2am Miss you Velvi, you absolute brat who swiped at ankles and clawed up the carpet in front of my room because you couldnt stand that I shut the door. I'll never stop wishing I'd been able to stay with you all those months, you deserved that much It always hurts to lose them, but I'll never regret having known and loved them in the meantime
I didn’t get to watch my cat grow old, but he was still there for me when no one else was. He used to jump on my bed and attack my feet, I still wake up and think I can feel him sometimes. It’s all the little things they do that you end up missing for the the longest time. Thank you for sharing
@@williamwebb580 Tbh he still had a lot of years left in him, unfortunately the vet didn't listen to us about the issues we noticed until it was too late velvet used to hide around corners and just attack our ankles without warning. absolute bastard i have the same thing of feeling him about! although in recent years its more that i'll suddenly get dreams with him, which are always welcome
@@onibeebee that really sucks, I’d have been really pissed that the fate of my best friend was decided by ignorance and human error. Sunny used to wait until you made eye contact with him to pounce, his idea of “playing” would be to grab onto and tackle my forearm and kick and bite me while I pretended to be a ferret or something trying to get away. His little nibbles were always soft though. I’m glad you can still be with him in your dreams. I’d love to have dreams about my Sunny, someday when my life has settled and I’m not as anxious about the future, maybe I’ll see him.
@@williamwebb580 it does suck, and i was angry about it for a pretty long time, still am in many ways. i think i would have been angrier if he was younger and sunny sounds adorable, i hope that you see him soon too. im not exactly sure what prompts mine, usually its because i either need comfort, or miss him
This game utterly destroyed me when I first saw it. I love this little guy so much and knowing what happens to him tears my heart into. I am not exaggerating when I say that everytime I think of thjs game I tear up and want to cry.
I like the generic look of the pet because you can interpret it as any animal you can relate to, even if the behaviors are like a dog, people who have lost cats or other animals can relate too since it isn’t portrayed as anything specific. My rabbit who I’ve had since I was 11 (in my 20s now) is likely on his last year and I’m in a similar situation. Luckily he is still active and eating but I go through all my memories with him all the time and just spend as much time with him as I can
I understand. I have a rabbit who's 9 years old. He's still active and has no grey hairs. But from time to time I still think about the fact he's not young anymore and one day he'll leave earth.
I was expecting a horror game, but instead my heart melted. I'm not mad, I enjoyed watching this playthrough. It's sad but real, life happens and things end. Life ends. And that's okay. To those who have recently or just lost something important in general, you will be okay. Cherish the memories you had, you do not deserve to have your wounds held open, let them heal. ♥️
I had a friend that told me that the only thing more scary than horror is real life. This was right after seeing my other friends play a horror game and me being spooked really bad by it.
The heart beat stopping really got me. My late pet Oscar was ill and had to be put down. I was hugging him and could hear his heart beat. I was the one that told them I was ready and I listened to his heart stop. It takes your breath away and it makes me cry every time I’m reminded of that moment. Been 7 years since he’s past and I still miss him.
It's 2am and I'm crying over a round little duck billed creature 😭. It was too real with Manly's absolute joy being with Little Manly. For anyone who's had to say goodbye to a pet, it's sadly perfectly accurate 😔
thanks I hate it I don't normally cry about stuff like this, but I just bawled my eyes out. When it got to the part of giving your buddy meds, I lost it. My partner and mine's pup passed away almost a year ago. She was old, in pain, had morning and evening meds, went through many surgeries. Stuff like this just really gets to me now.
_"And then my heart cracked"_ Awww. It was very sweet little game... I felt little tears by the end, even tho you tried to make it easier by talking about playing with "cliche meat" toy lol. Pets are never forgotten and are forever loved.
i used to call my dog my old geezer too. he suddenly died in my arms last friday, and ive been devastated over it. i still see him ariund the house and break down crying almost on the hour. this hit close to home.
Ah depression you've returned I see. This brings back memories of a tortoise that's been in my family since my father's youth. Mfs got long lives but once it's been around for two generations its close to curtain time. Marco was around long before I was born and had survived the family moving through five different houses in three different states. Not just me but my dad who essentially was there for Marco since day 1 was absolutely devastated.
Well, I'm glad there wasn't a horror twist anywhere in here. It started cute, and ended up something sad but still handled quite well. All the little photos helped sell the bond despite the short runtime.
Recognizing that frustration, that universal feeling like putting your head through the wall, was perfect. Another moment when Manly hits it out of the park. Makes a silly moment poignant. Which is why his ever growing fan base loves him. Great job on this little gem.
I've had to go through this horror four times already. Two dogs and two cats, all of them still very near and dear to my heart. The feeling of being utterly powerless to do anything other than letting them go leaves scars that never heal, and it never gets any easier no matter how many times you go through it. All you can do is remember the good times, the days when they were still full of energy, all the happy moments you had together and the silly habits your friend had. I'm sure the creator of this game put a lot of their own experience into it. The love and pain of remembering their old friend is certainly present.
Scrolling through just a few comments and seeing tales of peoples' grief over their pets.... it warms my heart. I know that sounds wrong, but I'm saying, it's wonderful that all these pets were so thoroughly loved. I have lost 3 cats in my life so far. We have two now and admittedly I'm a bit worried, they're getting along in years, but it's important to love them while we can rather than anticipate the inevitable.
It can't just be an overlooked coincidence knowing that both creator's names end in Fox and Chang, and the game is called BUDDY ~TALE~ Hmmm I wonder what it is (you know what i mean) Even manly acknowledged it
Ive had to let go of quite a few pets in my short life so far, two of the hardest were ones i never got a chance to say goodbye to. I never wish for anyone to go through that. This hurt my soul. It sometimes makes you question if getting another is worth the pain at the end, but you know it is, because that animal gets its whole life filled with happiness and care and all things sweet and wonderful and thats how every pet deserves to live; surrounded by love, and if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself.
I had a dog. He was the mythical "that dog", The one that was perfect for you. I never got to tell him goodbye either. I was overseas when he passed, but he was with family who loved him. I know that pain. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I saw the ending coming a mile away but it still managed to make me tear up, mainly because the little creature kinda reminds of an old dog i have right now. Her name is daisy and we've had her since she was a puppy (i was around 6 at the time i think)
Oh man that hit hard. We had to let our old girl go a couple years ago and this just brought all those emotions back. But watching this was kinda cathartic too, helped me remember that she had a good long life, and that there was so much more to the time we got to spend with her than just the painful last few memories of saying goodbye.
god as someone who's lost pets before this hits hard :( you always know your pet isnt gonna live forever and youre gonna lose them one day, so all you can do is just spend time with them and make them happy while you still have them
Oh god, I didn't need that T.T I have a 15 years old dog, she'll be turning 16 in 3 months. She no longer has good eyes, hearing and smell, she was diagnosed with heart problems and now on medication till the very end. She's still happy and cheerful dog, a bit more sleepy at that, but I dread a time when she no longer be with us. I hope she will live her full 25.
My family has two dogs, one with a heart condition. He's younger than the other dog but the vet told us he won't outlive her. It's really upsetting, as we've had two dogs before these and they both had to be put to sleep when they were old and sick.
you've rewarded her well for her loyalty. lots of love and affection and care. whenever she may choose to leave, she'll leave with love. it reminds me of when i lsot out puper. he was really old and sick.... we waited too long to try and put the poor boy down. but we gave him a lot of lvoe, fed him burger before the day came...... But. starngely enough. He died on the same day we were gonna put him down. A mere hour beforehand. I found him myself, waking up and needing to say goodbye just one last time. He was laying in the yard on his side, still warm, but gone at least.
You know, This made me cry, For me this reminds me of my deceased of my cat spook. it reminds me of him so much. It's such a beautiful done cam to crate such emotion My cat spooky was more of a dog then a cat and to this day I still missed him. He ended up dieing in my arms he wanted to be with me for one more time so He came to me before passing on. He laid on my lap and that when he started to slowly become more weak and lifeless and I cried so much. It still hurts to tell this but I figured I leave this hear as a bit of hope. To those who lost a pet dog, or cat or ANY animal it ok to feel sad because that just showed that you really cared for them and you charised the memories you had with them good or bad.
I have a dog, he's a chihuahua thats 16 years old. This...its gonna happen but I fear the day he'll pass. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. A sibling or he'll even sometimes a parent. Love y'all pets people...love em
That part at the end really hit home with what it's like saying goodbye to a pet, made me cry because I've gone through it twice and very likely will again in the future
Gosh, this game hit me so hard. I love my cat so much (she's hugging my arm right now as I type) that I know I'll never be ready for the time she will be gone... Hearts out to everyone remembering their pets fondly! ❤❤❤
The ending hurts, but it is an experience that every pet owner has to go through. I'm not looking forward to the day I have to say goodbye to one of my cats, but it will only hurt because of all the good times we shared together. I try to remember that I should appreciate them as best I can while they're alive, so I have memories to look back on, and happy stories to tell others after their time is up. Grief is the price of love. Many of us will experience loss of pets, family, friends, and lovers during our lives, and nothing can prepare you for that pain. But for me, remembering that I'm hurting because of all the happiness that relationship brought me brings a bit of comfort. Also helps to know that it is a universal experience, and we aren't alone in our suffering.
My brother brought home our dog, Zena, from his friend's house where she wasn't treated all that well. She was an unexpected joy to have around, and brought us her love and companionship. She was always there when you needed someone, and more than happy to give us lots and lots of kisses. She was such a goofball too. Always laying down in such silly and amusing ways. We've had her for over 10 years, up until October 5th, 2021. She passed away in my arms, right after I was done giving her a bath - one of her most favorite things to do. I feel a lot of regret and remorse that I did not give her one last car ride, another one of her favorite activities, at least she held out for that bath. Originally I had planned to build a coffin for her, and bury her in our back yard, but I instead opted to have her cremated and her ashes put in a box. I'm very glad I did this instead. She now rests above her favorite spot in the house, on a shelf above the fireplace. There's a shadowbox with her paw print to her left, with a collage picture frame filled with beautiful pictures of our warrior princess to the right. I still say good morning/good night to her and talk to her a little bit each day. I plan to continue doing so until we meet again. Even though now she is gone, and I sit, crying, here in solitude in this lonely box called a home - I still smile. While there are tears of sadness, sorrow, and pain of her passing, I yet shed tears of happiness from the fond memories that we made together. I know I wasn't the best owner, and I could have done better in many areas, I take solace in knowing that she had a good life here. She had a much better one had she not been brought to us, and for that, I am thankful. I miss her dearly, as the wounds are still fresh, but they continue to slowly heal with time. I will never forget her. I will keep her memory alive and strong in my heart, for that is the best way that I believe I can repay her kindness for her time with me. I love you, Zena. Good night, sweet princess. ~~~~~~~ Thank you, Manly.
I don't know why, but the fact this happened on my birthday hurts so much more to me reading this. Not because it happened on a day that was supposed to be special, but rather because I was also going through some kind of loss myself. Even though our tragedies are a bit different, they also feel slightly similar. And... It's comforting now, knowing I was not the only one struggling. I'm sorry for your loss. I really am. It might not seem much from a random stranger on the internet, but I want you to know you are not alone. It makes me happy knowing there are pet owners like you out there, who are willing to help other creatures in need, and I'm sure she would have agreed with me too. May she happily rest in peace, and hopefully reunite with you in heaven. ❤️
@@bashartz I too, am sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that you are doing well in such times. Your kind words mean a lot to me, friend, so please do not worry about that. Even when the blackest of nights enshroud us, we will find our ways to the light. Stay strong!
Saying goodbye is always the hardest, when my older ferret started seizing I couldn't do much for her, all I could do was wrap her in a blanket and sing songs that my mom sang to me when I was in the hospital. Our last day together was spent with her in my arms listening to music and waiting for the appointment at my vet. I don't think I've ever seen a vet tech go from awwing at seeing a ferret for the first time to realization when looking at my face. (Sorry very offtopic, this game just reminded me of my passed ferrets and made me hug my small dog even closer)
I think what hit me hardest about this game is that the owner (the player) loves their pet so much. Their home is covered in photos of them throughout their life, they sit with them during the storm, they know their favorite food etc. This little creature is every bit a part of them, so it really does show how hard it hits when we lose a companion even if it's for the best.
Man, I expected the dogcreature would turn into a monster, not that I would be crying by the end as it's a testament to saying goodbye to elderly pets.
I was expecting a horrible twist at the end, but what I got instead was not as bad but still as heartwrenching. It’s never easy losing a beloved pet, but just know that you gave them a great life that they probably would never have lived otherwise if you had never gotten them in the first place.
@@rexana_rexana which is the best way to die. Death itself is the worst thing to come but I think I'd rather die a quick way happily then have a slow painful death
I'm a long time away from saying goodbye to my dog, but I know that, eventually, the time will come. This game actually made me cry just thinking about it. I just love her so much, this was a nice reminder to make sure that she's happy and to enjoy every moment I'm so very fortunate to spend with her.
I love that you play all these games. I like to check out the games myself first and then watch you play them. I thought this was going to be a horror game!!! I cried
I thought about this a lot and I think the saddest part is actually the photo album telling the story. It starts off and you have pictures of picking out a toy at the pet store, baths and walks. Any activity you witness with them is worth photographing and keeping a record of. You even frame those old photos and cover a wall in them. On the other hand, the right hand side of the album is just birthdays and Christmases repeating uninterrupted. You have forgotten or become numb to how great and unique they are and take the picture more because it is a special occasion than because you’re paying special attention to them. Living with them is routine now and you only spare it a thought when something has gone wrong. You even nearly forget to give them their medicine. When you look back, over the course of the game, you don’t even have memories of that period of their lives, it just jumps ahead to a renovated house and the final scene. You couldn’t think a single moment that stood out in a period of years that led up to today!
Did not expect this to hit me goddangit! I went and hug my pet dog after watching this and I do not like how this playthrough got recommended to me at the same day my dog almost got hit by a motorcycle, I do not wanna think much about it honestly. This game is nice tho, the buddy design is cute, he's like a lemon
This hits hard. Especially since we recently had to say goodbye to our baby Angel a few months ago. She was such a good girl. Like Little Manly was such a good buddy. It’s never easy, but the time spent with them is always worth it.
We let go of our dog, Toby, in December, exactly a week before his thirteenth birthday. Like to say he was "an honorary thirteen years old." He was only expected to have two months to live after being diagnosed with a really rough type of cancer in 2019, but instead, he got more than two years! I'm so sorry for your loss. But I'm so glad for your gain! Beloved pets are such a massive gain to our lives! You're absolutely right when you say they're worth it.
God, as someone who had to deal with multiple pets passing throughout my life this hit way too close to home. I miss them a lot. What a sweet little game.
This was hard watch. I had to put down my childhood cat in January. She was my best girl, she was cherished. She was so smart and caring . She is still missed.
pets really do mean so much.. didn't expect the ending to hit so hard, cried for a little because i have a little old lady dog. sad to think about how i'll have to say goodbye someday.
Welcome to the Are You A Buddy Club, how Are You A Buddy are ya?
myes
Feeling good, Buddy.
7 buddies i am
Very Are You A Buddy now that I have another video to watch :>
Uh, yes…🤔
I had assumed that the horror would be that Little Manly would turn out to be some sort of monster, when it turns out its actually the horror of having to say goodbye to a beloved friend.
I think most of us know that feeling. It's sad to see 'em go, but sometimes they're better off passing. A good day to you, and anyone you know who might need it.
Same I did too
Same but the only horror was a broken heart!

Same, poor little buddy... also nice profile pic
Feeling choked up while Manly goes "You remember how we used to eat the EGG." threw me into an emotional whiplash.
Laugh through the sob
**Manly when he's dealing with an animal in the game**: "Aww, come here, have a snack, sweety!"
**Manly When he's dealing with a baby in the game** : [Puts him inside the stove].
Based manly prefers animals to people
As he should
Here I am crying over the ending then I read this and ugly laugh
Humans suck.
Honestly me too
With the word “Adorable” in the title I’m ready for this to turn into a horror game
EDIT: I’m emotionally devastated wtf
This game alone reminded everyone of their past pets.
@@ikeepcoins388 This game is why I'm never getting a pet. I couldn't bear the inevitable.
@@tylisirn you can still get a pet, but it will feel like you've lost a part of yourself. That's what I felt and still feel. My cat Sunshine passed on January 21st, 2021. Buried her myself. Still have a picture of her on my bookshelf. The feeling goes away with time, a long time, but it does.
. . .this…this hits hard, makes..makes me think of when me and my family and yo put down my cat………I miss him
You never know with ManlyBadassHeros titles. Is it really cute? Or is it horror. Watching is the only answer.
This time it is heartbreakingly sad.
3:33 "you wanna play with your little meat?" Now that's a very forward question there, Manly.
💀💀
the part where you're saying goodbye and the fact that you have the choice to choose your final words to your pet, I couldn't help but think about my cat who died very young, very painfully- and I think that this game gives pet owners who are grieving a chance to say goodbye again, whether that was the developers intent or not, and it just makes this short, simple game so heartbreakingly beautiful.

How did they die?
Young AND painfully? Not many deaths can do that.
Aww I feel sorry
My little bunny died young i cant stop thinking about him
I feel the same 😭
Wasn't expecting that to hit so hard... Just makes me think of pets of days past.

This has mostly proven to me I am not emotionally prepared to have another pet.
This actually had me crying. Poor, sweet little baby... I want a plush of him now so he can live forever.
Me too. My wife was very concerned when she saw me with a few tears rolling down my face. Then I showed her the video and she just told me to suck it up butter cup... I don't think she has a soul lol
taxidermy ending...?
(but yeah man im crying too)
@@TylerRichardson14 nooooo I'd hate that reaction, my bf would comfort me and tell me I'm valid for crying and hug me
@@TylerRichardson14 Not everyone is a crybaby
@@TylerRichardson14 Sounds like a winner.
That ending got me.
A few years back I lost my dog, his name was Yogi. A lot of stuff had happened in a short time and we completely missed that he had gotten bit by a rattlesnake until it was too late for antivenom. The next few days were hard, it was possible for him to recover but he just kept getting worse. Finally we brought him to the vet and I was forced to hand him over to a person he didn't know while I filled out the paperwork. I finish and I'm shown to a room only for a vet to walk in moments later and tell me that he passed.
It breaks my heart knowing that he died confused, scared, and surrounded by strangers. I never got the chance to say goodbye.
I pretty much knew how this game was going to end from the very beginning. It still got to me.
I work in an emergency vet. It's heartbreaking often, for those reasons and many more. I've had a few patients pass in my arms and I did my best to make sure they felt as little fear as possible, that they got lots of love and pets and sweet words.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
At about the 10:00 mark, I asked myself "Why am I still watching this? I know how it ends." And it did. Even knowing the ending it still hit hard.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go play with my dog.
agreed, time to pet the doggo
"Raise this adorable creature till something happens."
Oh....oh no, please I can't handle that, that's scarier than
any horror game!
What i thought when I read the title 😭😭
i was hoping it was gonna be horror, i dont want anything to happen to the friend
i thought it was gonna mutate into a demon thing
Like almost all the horror tamagotchi games
My poor heart can't take it!
Horror would've been less hurtful than what happened. ;A;
I'm always afraid of getting a heart attack when I see Manly's horror game videos
But this was worse... now my heart is broken, and empty.
Empty like manly’s soul
It was even worse for me with it having the Pokemon cry. God, I was so attached to the old Pokemon games as a kid and always wanted one of em to be real
I have 2 cats and I wanna cry when I think about them now
This may only end one way, but a little bit of wholesome fanfic writing goes a long way
Pls write that fanfic, my heart can't take this. :(
Link?
Same, comment if you do one ;_;
Please tell us when you finish it (if you do make it)
I am gonna make one.
This hit hard.
The first time I watched it, I was like “Oh yeah, this is sad. I feel bad for the people who had to go through this.” Two days later, I have to put my cat down. I decided to rewatch the video and the final words Manly chose to say to Little Manly broke my heart, I would’ve said those words to my cat too. I bawled for a good 5 minutes before watching some kracc bacc. I’m kinda trying to deny the fact that my cat is dead, but other than that I’m fine.
🫂
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My condolences, I am so sorry for your loss.
I think that the heart at the end was so much more effective than a straightforward cutscene. This brought back memories of losing some of my pets.
Such a cute and sad little game. The buddies design were so adorable though!
Ikr I just want to hold them gently
Agree
He kinda reminds me of a peep lol
I cried when i watched this game for the first time
They are very cute
God, as someone with a pet who's on his last few days here on Earth, that ending hits hard.
Ow that must have hurt.
I hope he lives then happily whit you :)
I'm sorry about your pet. 😟
Already been through it with a pet that was the best ever. It doesn't get easier.
it sure does.
i lost my guinea pig nearly the same way
seeing him in pain and not being able to walk or eat by himself hurt me a lot and now this ending just broke my heart once again
It came out around when I was still grieving my dog sudden death, this game hit hard for me as well
Okay, I'll be honest: I did actually shed a tear at the end. Being a pet owner, especially if you’ve lost pets before, makes it hit even closer to home. The creatures are adorable, RIP Little Manly.
I just lost my little chubby yellow lab last month and this video just twisted the knife 😢
@@jmoe7948 I’m sorry. 💔
When we say goodbye, we often aren't experiencing one loss, we're experiencing all of them.
i lost my fish yesterday and some month ago my puppy from my old puppy die, im afraid i can't have any dog again if my oldy died
I lost my cat 4 month ago. He was just 1 year old and died by a car crash. Kinda remembered me on it and i almost lost it at the end but in life you need to keep it together.
i love how Manly gets so attached and exclaims in delight like at 7:13. then it get ya
I cried like a baby for almost half of the video, the little buddy reminds me of my recently passed elderly dog.
I loved her so much, and I knew she was already pretty old, but I tought that she would die of old age, not by the illness that killed her. She had already been ill with the same thing once, but made it trought, however this illness got worse when she had it again.
Atleast she got to rest her old, fragile body. Still I'll always cry for her every once in a while.
This was real empathetic for those who have lost any animal in their life... got an Oof right in the heart briefly.
Agreed . .
Same here.
As someone who recently lost their senior dog of many years, his name was Buddy of all things too, this hit really close to home, as it did for many others too I’m sure. Very sweet game if a little bittersweet.
I’m sorry for your loss. About a month ago my senior dog of 16 years passed. It’s never easy 😞💔
I'm sorry for your loss. I know that pain all too well, though I had to say goodbye to my dog over a decade ago. As long as you remember that they loved you just as much as you loved them, you'll be okay.
This made me cry so much. I hope youre alright
I was expecting a horror twist all throughout and was practically begging for one at the end. This game is so cute and sad. I love how the house changes to show time passing.
the real horror is when you're begging for it (can relate)
the game aside, manly REALLY sounds like he cares for little manly. how adorable!!
it's crazy cuz his voice is so monotone yet he relays so much emotion through it anyway, even if subtly. There are even times when I find his voice cute or charming. It makes me feel less bad about my own lack of vocal expression haha.
That was a short let's play but still made me cry... especially when he said "I hated seeing you so scared"
This opens up old wounds of the cat I had growing up. 16 years of the little bugger, got to know her the day she was born in my grannys garage. While sad she was starting to lose her ability to get around and hardly eating. Better to remember the good times then the bad though, If you only focus on your pets last moments they will never truly pass on. Been 2 years since she was put down but I still think shes with me to some degree even it she isn't here physically...
I had one for 15 that disappeared one day, no body found, just gone.. Since birth, too. Don’t think I’ll ever forget him. If I do, I know that it would be my time to go myself.
@@panghor My cat got out once, not for long though. She was to scared to move and hid under the camper. I was so worried I went out barely dressed as soon as it happened to get her back to some warmth. Not sure why your cat decided to leave but hopefully he passed peacefully.
Similar experience. We had an abused, stray calico cat that my mum took in three years before I was even born. She had been there for me since the day I came into the world, and she was - and will always be - the closest thing to my heart.
She gained cancer but overcame it. She had to get her ear cut off, and she looked pretty badass. But then she gained a tumour on her mouth, and it couldn't be removed due to where it was and its size. She passed in 2019 when she was 16 years old.
Losing her put me into one of the most depressive places in my life since she had helped me through so much.
It is a lot easier now. I still have photos of her that I keep in a folder to look at when I'm sad. And I have two other cats - who are the completely opposite of her, lmao.
Sorry for the long ass comment, your comment just felt super relatable haha.
@@panghor They say cats will go somewhere secluded, where their owners or anybody else would not find them when they know their time is up...It's so that their "pack"/owners wont worry for them 😢
@@zakikong3210 Oh, their was a time where I couldn't find my cat and she was actually stuffed in a corner I really never went to behind a bunch of random stuff. She we even went back to the spot after I covered it back up somehow but she didn't die their. That week everyone left but me for vacation so she was probably just stressed but this is good to know.
I honestly didn't expect the ending, seeing "ADORABLE" creatures sorta raises my alarm when they turns out to be some sort of eldritch creature that's gonna maul your face off and eat your soul.
My sake gourd can’t be this adorable.
The only monster here is the devs
They look like lemons how nice I hope they dont turn into eldritch abominations
Edit: I was so wrong bro that shit had me sad asf still a wholesome game
Unacceptable

When I adopted my Dog, he was on death’s door. I went into debt to keep him alive, and he pulled through. He’s not even that old, and I still lay awake at night knowing that I’ll outlive him tenfold.
I knew where this was going pretty early on. Even watching this video was a bit of an emotional roller coaster.
Cherish what you have, and build memories to look back on fondly for when they’re gone. They’ll live their whole lives knowing they’re forever loved.
Holy shit this hit close to home as a rescuer volunteer. I know along the way I should not allow myself to love them strongly as my own because the inevitable goodbye might come at any day. But saying **that** goodbye for the **last time** ever... I can't even explain it. I will always carry in my heart the little ones that couldn't make it, and cherish forever the ones that had their lives changed thanks to the people that decide to adopt.
Really simple game, but a good message. Liked it a lot ♡
LITTLE MANLY LOOKS SO SQUISHY
Edit:
MY HEART IS TORN
PAIN.
@@sleppingbag7357 I just finished watching and my day is both complete but ruined😭
i got my cat velvet when i was around 9. I picked him because he climbed the highest up the chain door at the rescue and it made me laugh. I called him Velvet because he was soft and dark
Velvet carried me through my parents divorce, changing of schools and subsequent bullying, an emotionally abusive step father and a chronic illness from age 15. He accompanied me through all of it until the day after my 21st, where he peacefully passed away after a few months of stomach tumors making him slower and creakier with every passing day. I had to hold him so gently whenever i was able to visit, and he always purred so loudly
It'll be almost four years since then and regularly I'll suddenly want to hold him and cuddle him as he grumbles like an old man, but still leans into the pats. Watch him tap his water dish before drinking every time because of the one time when he was a kitten where it froze and he licked the ice. Hear him snoring like an old man in the corner of my room and scare the shit out of me at 2am
Miss you Velvi, you absolute brat who swiped at ankles and clawed up the carpet in front of my room because you couldnt stand that I shut the door. I'll never stop wishing I'd been able to stay with you all those months, you deserved that much
It always hurts to lose them, but I'll never regret having known and loved them in the meantime
I didn’t get to watch my cat grow old, but he was still there for me when no one else was. He used to jump on my bed and attack my feet, I still wake up and think I can feel him sometimes. It’s all the little things they do that you end up missing for the the longest time. Thank you for sharing
@@williamwebb580 Tbh he still had a lot of years left in him, unfortunately the vet didn't listen to us about the issues we noticed until it was too late
velvet used to hide around corners and just attack our ankles without warning. absolute bastard
i have the same thing of feeling him about! although in recent years its more that i'll suddenly get dreams with him, which are always welcome
@@onibeebee that really sucks, I’d have been really pissed that the fate of my best friend was decided by ignorance and human error.
Sunny used to wait until you made eye contact with him to pounce, his idea of “playing” would be to grab onto and tackle my forearm and kick and bite me while I pretended to be a ferret or something trying to get away. His little nibbles were always soft though.
I’m glad you can still be with him in your dreams. I’d love to have dreams about my Sunny, someday when my life has settled and I’m not as anxious about the future, maybe I’ll see him.
@@williamwebb580 it does suck, and i was angry about it for a pretty long time, still am in many ways. i think i would have been angrier if he was younger
and sunny sounds adorable, i hope that you see him soon too. im not exactly sure what prompts mine, usually its because i either need comfort, or miss him
@@onibeebee Thank you
This game utterly destroyed me when I first saw it. I love this little guy so much and knowing what happens to him tears my heart into. I am not exaggerating when I say that everytime I think of thjs game I tear up and want to cry.
He had a good life
Bro I clicked without thinking just excepting the normal horror “twist” I wasn’t ready to cry and relive letting a pet go
His silence. Is enough to say he's trying not to cry. Stay strong. They are little angels after all. We don't deserve em. but we have them anyways
I like the generic look of the pet because you can interpret it as any animal you can relate to, even if the behaviors are like a dog, people who have lost cats or other animals can relate too since it isn’t portrayed as anything specific. My rabbit who I’ve had since I was 11 (in my 20s now) is likely on his last year and I’m in a similar situation. Luckily he is still active and eating but I go through all my memories with him all the time and just spend as much time with him as I can
I understand. I have a rabbit who's 9 years old. He's still active and has no grey hairs.
But from time to time I still think about the fact he's not young anymore and one day he'll leave earth.
hows ur buddy doing?
My update is not good. His life was taken by a house fire last year, he was 10 years old.
I was expecting a horror game, but instead my heart melted. I'm not mad, I enjoyed watching this playthrough. It's sad but real, life happens and things end. Life ends. And that's okay. To those who have recently or just lost something important in general, you will be okay. Cherish the memories you had, you do not deserve to have your wounds held open, let them heal. ♥️
Thank you so much
It’s different when you’ve had something taken that you can’t get back. Things like that will never be okay
I had a friend that told me that the only thing more scary than horror is real life. This was right after seeing my other friends play a horror game and me being spooked really bad by it.
The heart beat stopping really got me. My late pet Oscar was ill and had to be put down. I was hugging him and could hear his heart beat. I was the one that told them I was ready and I listened to his heart stop. It takes your breath away and it makes me cry every time I’m reminded of that moment. Been 7 years since he’s past and I still miss him.
This does count as horror, it's the horror of having to say goodbye
It's 2am and I'm crying over a round little duck billed creature 😭. It was too real with Manly's absolute joy being with Little Manly. For anyone who's had to say goodbye to a pet, it's sadly perfectly accurate 😔
Heartbroken, eyes swollen, ok its time to watch some of your collection of horror vids to make me feel better
Moms spaghetti
Angels of Death is my go-to comfort series
Usually it's the other way around, but I agree :')
I like the sub-genre of horror games which is just "raising a weird little creature until something goes wrong." Something so charming about it!
Too bad this is a sad game and not a horror game. I wanted to not be able to sleep tonight, but instead I got hit in the feels :(
thanks I hate it
I don't normally cry about stuff like this, but I just bawled my eyes out. When it got to the part of giving your buddy meds, I lost it. My partner and mine's pup passed away almost a year ago. She was old, in pain, had morning and evening meds, went through many surgeries. Stuff like this just really gets to me now.
That's probably the most painful 'goodbye' I've seen from a game. Very true to life.
_"And then my heart cracked"_
Awww. It was very sweet little game... I felt little tears by the end, even tho you tried to make it easier by talking about playing with "cliche meat" toy lol. Pets are never forgotten and are forever loved.
This wasn't a horror game, I didn't expect actual feels

@@bluedragonfly8139 i lost my 15 year old cat in 2020 too :( this one made me cry, a lot...

i used to call my dog my old geezer too. he suddenly died in my arms last friday, and ive been devastated over it. i still see him ariund the house and break down crying almost on the hour. this hit close to home.
Ah depression you've returned I see. This brings back memories of a tortoise that's been in my family since my father's youth. Mfs got long lives but once it's been around for two generations its close to curtain time. Marco was around long before I was born and had survived the family moving through five different houses in three different states. Not just me but my dad who essentially was there for Marco since day 1 was absolutely devastated.
Rest in peace Marco :( ❤️
That hit in the feels. Having my own dog, this is a moment that I dread. Cherish your pets, and loved ones.
Well, I'm glad there wasn't a horror twist anywhere in here. It started cute, and ended up something sad but still handled quite well. All the little photos helped sell the bond despite the short runtime.
Recognizing that frustration, that universal feeling like putting your head through the wall, was perfect. Another moment when Manly hits it out of the park. Makes a silly moment poignant. Which is why his ever growing fan base loves him. Great job on this little gem.
I've had to go through this horror four times already. Two dogs and two cats, all of them still very near and dear to my heart. The feeling of being utterly powerless to do anything other than letting them go leaves scars that never heal, and it never gets any easier no matter how many times you go through it. All you can do is remember the good times, the days when they were still full of energy, all the happy moments you had together and the silly habits your friend had.
I'm sure the creator of this game put a lot of their own experience into it. The love and pain of remembering their old friend is certainly present.
Oh man...this brought back some painful memories. RIP Little Manly....and thank you to all the fur babies I've loved and lost.
Having that final dialogue at the bottom when you're going through what to say to them hurt so bad because you know eventually, you have to say it.
Scrolling through just a few comments and seeing tales of peoples' grief over their pets.... it warms my heart. I know that sounds wrong, but I'm saying, it's wonderful that all these pets were so thoroughly loved.
I have lost 3 cats in my life so far. We have two now and admittedly I'm a bit worried, they're getting along in years, but it's important to love them while we can rather than anticipate the inevitable.
I’ve been around the block, and watching this honestly hurts, cause it’s exactly how someone feels getting their first pet and loving it to ‘death’
It can't just be an overlooked coincidence knowing that both creator's names end in Fox and Chang, and the game is called BUDDY ~TALE~
Hmmm I wonder what it is (you know what i mean)
Even manly acknowledged it
Ive had to let go of quite a few pets in my short life so far, two of the hardest were ones i never got a chance to say goodbye to. I never wish for anyone to go through that. This hurt my soul. It sometimes makes you question if getting another is worth the pain at the end, but you know it is, because that animal gets its whole life filled with happiness and care and all things sweet and wonderful and thats how every pet deserves to live; surrounded by love, and if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself.
I had a dog. He was the mythical "that dog", The one that was perfect for you.
I never got to tell him goodbye either. I was overseas when he passed, but he was with family who loved him.
I know that pain. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
@@fang4223 Thank you for sharing your story. Im sorry you had to go through it too. We did the best we could, and that's all we can ask of ourselves.
@@rexana_rexana Indeed. You take care.
I saw the ending coming a mile away but it still managed to make me tear up, mainly because the little creature kinda reminds of an old dog i have right now. Her name is daisy and we've had her since she was a puppy (i was around 6 at the time i think)
Never once thought I'd prefer a scary twist ending than the one shown here T-T R.I.P. Little Manly
"Is this the right buddy?" *yellow guy walks into a wall and just stares at it*
Me, without hesitation: Absolutely
Oh man that hit hard. We had to let our old girl go a couple years ago and this just brought all those emotions back. But watching this was kinda cathartic too, helped me remember that she had a good long life, and that there was so much more to the time we got to spend with her than just the painful last few memories of saying goodbye.
god as someone who's lost pets before this hits hard :( you always know your pet isnt gonna live forever and youre gonna lose them one day, so all you can do is just spend time with them and make them happy while you still have them
Looks suspiciously like a certain game about... my pet... and what it CAN do...
CAN your Pet do something epic. I hope it goes well ;)
@@gneissguy6544 ooh look a bike! this will be a great toy for my pet!
I wonder if chickens CAN swear?
oh *NO*
*Starts screaming*
Oh god, I didn't need that T.T
I have a 15 years old dog, she'll be turning 16 in 3 months. She no longer has good eyes, hearing and smell, she was diagnosed with heart problems and now on medication till the very end.
She's still happy and cheerful dog, a bit more sleepy at that, but I dread a time when she no longer be with us. I hope she will live her full 25.
My family has two dogs, one with a heart condition. He's younger than the other dog but the vet told us he won't outlive her. It's really upsetting, as we've had two dogs before these and they both had to be put to sleep when they were old and sick.
you've rewarded her well for her loyalty. lots of love and affection and care. whenever she may choose to leave, she'll leave with love.
it reminds me of when i lsot out puper. he was really old and sick.... we waited too long to try and put the poor boy down. but we gave him a lot of lvoe, fed him burger before the day came......
But. starngely enough. He died on the same day we were gonna put him down. A mere hour beforehand. I found him myself, waking up and needing to say goodbye just one last time. He was laying in the yard on his side, still warm, but gone at least.
I wasn't prepared for that ending. It reminded me too much of having to let go of my own pets.
You know, This made me cry, For me this reminds me of my deceased of my cat spook.
it reminds me of him so much. It's such a beautiful done cam to crate such emotion My cat spooky was more of a dog then a cat and to this day I still missed him. He ended up dieing in my arms he wanted to be with me for one more time so He came to me before passing on. He laid on my lap and that when he started to slowly become more weak and lifeless and I cried so much. It still hurts to tell this but I figured I leave this hear as a bit of hope.
To those who lost a pet dog, or cat or ANY animal it ok to feel sad because that just showed that you really cared for them and you charised the memories you had with them good or bad.
I have a dog, he's a chihuahua thats 16 years old. This...its gonna happen but I fear the day he'll pass. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. A sibling or he'll even sometimes a parent.
Love y'all pets people...love em
That part at the end really hit home with what it's like saying goodbye to a pet, made me cry because I've gone through it twice and very likely will again in the future
Gosh, this game hit me so hard. I love my cat so much (she's hugging my arm right now as I type) that I know I'll never be ready for the time she will be gone... Hearts out to everyone remembering their pets fondly! ❤❤❤
The ending hurts, but it is an experience that every pet owner has to go through. I'm not looking forward to the day I have to say goodbye to one of my cats, but it will only hurt because of all the good times we shared together. I try to remember that I should appreciate them as best I can while they're alive, so I have memories to look back on, and happy stories to tell others after their time is up.
Grief is the price of love. Many of us will experience loss of pets, family, friends, and lovers during our lives, and nothing can prepare you for that pain. But for me, remembering that I'm hurting because of all the happiness that relationship brought me brings a bit of comfort. Also helps to know that it is a universal experience, and we aren't alone in our suffering.
My brother brought home our dog, Zena, from his friend's house where she wasn't treated all that well. She was an unexpected joy to have around, and brought us her love and companionship. She was always there when you needed someone, and more than happy to give us lots and lots of kisses. She was such a goofball too. Always laying down in such silly and amusing ways. We've had her for over 10 years, up until October 5th, 2021. She passed away in my arms, right after I was done giving her a bath - one of her most favorite things to do. I feel a lot of regret and remorse that I did not give her one last car ride, another one of her favorite activities, at least she held out for that bath.
Originally I had planned to build a coffin for her, and bury her in our back yard, but I instead opted to have her cremated and her ashes put in a box. I'm very glad I did this instead. She now rests above her favorite spot in the house, on a shelf above the fireplace. There's a shadowbox with her paw print to her left, with a collage picture frame filled with beautiful pictures of our warrior princess to the right. I still say good morning/good night to her and talk to her a little bit each day. I plan to continue doing so until we meet again.
Even though now she is gone, and I sit, crying, here in solitude in this lonely box called a home - I still smile. While there are tears of sadness, sorrow, and pain of her passing, I yet shed tears of happiness from the fond memories that we made together.
I know I wasn't the best owner, and I could have done better in many areas, I take solace in knowing that she had a good life here. She had a much better one had she not been brought to us, and for that, I am thankful.
I miss her dearly, as the wounds are still fresh, but they continue to slowly heal with time. I will never forget her. I will keep her memory alive and strong in my heart, for that is the best way that I believe I can repay her kindness for her time with me.
I love you, Zena. Good night, sweet princess.

Thank you, Manly.
I don't know why, but the fact this happened on my birthday hurts so much more to me reading this.
Not because it happened on a day that was supposed to be special, but rather because I was also going through some kind of loss myself.
Even though our tragedies are a bit different, they also feel slightly similar.
And... It's comforting now, knowing I was not the only one struggling.
I'm sorry for your loss. I really am. It might not seem much from a random stranger on the internet, but I want you to know you are not alone.
It makes me happy knowing there are pet owners like you out there, who are willing to help other creatures in need, and I'm sure she would have agreed with me too.
May she happily rest in peace, and hopefully reunite with you in heaven. ❤️
@@bashartz I too, am sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that you are doing well in such times. Your kind words mean a lot to me, friend, so please do not worry about that. Even when the blackest of nights enshroud us, we will find our ways to the light. Stay strong!
They really did made the pets as cute as possible. Jesus, I knew the ending was going to hit.
Saying goodbye is always the hardest, when my older ferret started seizing I couldn't do much for her, all I could do was wrap her in a blanket and sing songs that my mom sang to me when I was in the hospital.
Our last day together was spent with her in my arms listening to music and waiting for the appointment at my vet.
I don't think I've ever seen a vet tech go from awwing at seeing a ferret for the first time to realization when looking at my face. (Sorry very offtopic, this game just reminded me of my passed ferrets and made me hug my small dog even closer)
I think what hit me hardest about this game is that the owner (the player) loves their pet so much. Their home is covered in photos of them throughout their life, they sit with them during the storm, they know their favorite food etc. This little creature is every bit a part of them, so it really does show how hard it hits when we lose a companion even if it's for the best.
Man, I expected the dogcreature would turn into a monster, not that I would be crying by the end as it's a testament to saying goodbye to elderly pets.
As someone who has had many pets that have passed on...
OW MY FEELS.
this game has me crying like a baby. I recently put down one of my rats and had to say goodbye just like this.
I was expecting a horrible twist at the end, but what I got instead was not as bad but still as heartwrenching. It’s never easy losing a beloved pet, but just know that you gave them a great life that they probably would never have lived otherwise if you had never gotten them in the first place.
What a cute little thing, I hope it doesn't die in a horrifying way
Well I have some news
Well, its more sad than terrifying
It didn’t. It died in a normal, mundane, sad way.
it died from the most inescapable thing: time. But it died surrounded by one thing first and foremost: love
@@rexana_rexana which is the best way to die. Death itself is the worst thing to come but I think I'd rather die a quick way happily then have a slow painful death
I'm a long time away from saying goodbye to my dog, but I know that, eventually, the time will come. This game actually made me cry just thinking about it. I just love her so much, this was a nice reminder to make sure that she's happy and to enjoy every moment I'm so very fortunate to spend with her.
I love that you play all these games. I like to check out the games myself first and then watch you play them. I thought this was going to be a horror game!!! I cried
One of the few times I teared up a little, I don't own a pet like that, but I can sympathize for those who had beloved pets pass away.
Thanks for the new upload king. I love my 2am fix
Enjoyed in 2 pm rn B)
it's 4 am here and this is the best thing that could've happened to me
ONGGG Evenin amusement
Of all the painful horrors we've seen Manly face, this one hurt the most.
I thought about this a lot and I think the saddest part is actually the photo album telling the story.
It starts off and you have pictures of picking out a toy at the pet store, baths and walks. Any activity you witness with them is worth photographing and keeping a record of. You even frame those old photos and cover a wall in them.
On the other hand, the right hand side of the album is just birthdays and Christmases repeating uninterrupted. You have forgotten or become numb to how great and unique they are and take the picture more because it is a special occasion than because you’re paying special attention to them. Living with them is routine now and you only spare it a thought when something has gone wrong. You even nearly forget to give them their medicine.
When you look back, over the course of the game, you don’t even have memories of that period of their lives, it just jumps ahead to a renovated house and the final scene. You couldn’t think a single moment that stood out in a period of years that led up to today!
Did not expect this to hit me goddangit! I went and hug my pet dog after watching this
and I do not like how this playthrough got recommended to me at the same day my dog almost got hit by a motorcycle, I do not wanna think much about it honestly.
This game is nice tho, the buddy design is cute, he's like a lemon
:( rip little manly hope you can eat as many eggs as you want up there
This hits hard. Especially since we recently had to say goodbye to our baby Angel a few months ago. She was such a good girl. Like Little Manly was such a good buddy. It’s never easy, but the time spent with them is always worth it.
We let go of our dog, Toby, in December, exactly a week before his thirteenth birthday. Like to say he was "an honorary thirteen years old." He was only expected to have two months to live after being diagnosed with a really rough type of cancer in 2019, but instead, he got more than two years!
I'm so sorry for your loss. But I'm so glad for your gain! Beloved pets are such a massive gain to our lives! You're absolutely right when you say they're worth it.
God, as someone who had to deal with multiple pets passing throughout my life this hit way too close to home. I miss them a lot.
What a sweet little game.
You don't realize what you have, until it's gone.
I miss my childhood cat Copper so much.
1994-2014
This was hard watch. I had to put down my childhood cat in January. She was my best girl, she was cherished. She was so smart and caring . She is still missed.
Same here, Dec 30th. Made me remember saying goodbye to her. They live on in our hearts :')
I'm watching this while my baby cat is at the dentist having a surgery. She is going to be fine though. This video made me cry a little, though.
pets really do mean so much.. didn't expect the ending to hit so hard, cried for a little because i have a little old lady dog. sad to think about how i'll have to say goodbye someday.
Cuteee! This is gonna be a great video to watch before bed without worrying about nightmares!
edit:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHYYYYY!!!
Get ready about emotional damage
this is ironic
I wish it was a horror game, how will I emotionally recover before bed? 😭
@@Cinnaschticks im in the same boat too!
i almost cried at the end... WHY AM I SO EMOTIONAL I ALMOST CRIED AT A SONG FOR A SHOW IM DOING
as someone who had a dog since 1 all the way to 18. this HURTS HARD. the real horror is not the terror of the night, but the fear of the end.
