man, this really was a zombie game in the ending where you spare people, you're all doomed to become "garbage" or "zombies" or whatever in the ending where you gun every threat down, you escape via some ship this game managed to play the zombie game mechanics totally straight despite being a philosophical curveball at the same time
Ugh, my heart can't handle anything with a dog. I just can't. Even with the bonus room that gave us info on Pippi, it still hurts to see that one cut scene play out. Poor little dog looked like it had blue/tears on it's face; don't think it was, but oof. I just need to give my oofs to the comments. Anyone want to feel with me? You are welcome to, fellow dog lovers. But I did genuinely enjoy the game, the art style, and the name of Pippi for a dog is adorable to me, now. Keep up the fun plays, Manly, and the great work, Brown Sugar. God bless yours and you all! :)
> Anyone want to feel with me? I'd like to, but really can't for the life of me understand why you care more about a fictional dog than a bunch of fictional humans being killed.
@@jia9858 The game makes the other people look disposable (garbage) while the dog is clearly an important part of the game. Makes sense to care more about the dog than the people
@@jia9858 Oh, dont' get me wrong; I do care if other characters get killed. When a story is real good, I feel hurt to see someone I care about die; it's a shock. But in this case, the dog is a special part of the girl's life - and I adore the dog we have. To imagine having to choose to leave such a loved one behind is incredibly heartbreaking to me.
The only good ending would be if Phillip left her on the planet with Pippi and took one of the other NPCs and came to terms with the fact their relationship would have never worked. I do wish I knew why they weren't allowed to bring the dog, especially knowing it was an android. It seems weird unless the rules were no personal belongings allowed on the ship.
think about it; if every person was allowed to bring something along - it would all be garbage in no time. the cycle would continue. it seems in this world that the pollution and trash caused the zombies in the first place. so it would almost make more sense that you can't take the dog - bc it's made out of parts that will become garbage eventually - if the dog was real, it might not be a problem
With respect to the events of endings A and B, I find it a little ironic that the ending where Phillip and Anna escape the planet physically unscathed necessitates arguably vile or “filthy” actions to achieve, while the more pacifistic route culminates in the characters imminently decaying into actual garbage. As mentioned, the game certainly seems to be discussing the subjectivity of who or what constitutes “garbage”. Is survival a defense of depravity, or is moral decrepitude even worse than physically rotting into literal refuse? It’s a simple game, but the ethical ambiguities were still effective nonetheless. The music was also lovely, especially, as morbid as it sounds, during the death of Pippi. I do much prefer Patty and Mr. Miles as well, but I’m glad to see any additional work this creator has put forth.
The relationship seems very one sided. Philip is obviously in love with Anna, but Anna displays no interest other than "I don't hate you." Anna even said that Pippi is the only thing that ever brought her happiness. The conflict really is Anna's only source of happiness vs Philip's desperate love. Both have their downsides and unfortunately, there isn't really middle ground. As always, Brown Sugar's story doesn't have a true happy ending.
I think, retroactively, the game is one of the few examples out there that attempts to illustrate the love and frustration that comes with dating or befriending a loner, or someone who is depressed or unaffected/unresponsive. He doesn't really question her why she is like this, given how the world is, and he cares for her and loves her no matter what, but he does pressure and punish himself for not being able to "make her happy all of the time." Still, Anna does notice his efforts and appreciates their time spent together. While she is a misanthropist who, by trade, hates being around people, she explicitly says she does not hate him, so I think those feelings are reciprocated in Anna's own way. Much like many real mental health issues, there really is no perfect end-all, be-all cure for her outlook, so Philip's best option really is to swallow the miscommunication and just be there at her side, come what may. While Anna doesn't feel comfortable with talking to people all of the time, she still wants and appreciates social contact and affection, which Pippi gives her, pressure free.
That is an interesting interpretation of the story. I like the idea of a story portraying difficulties in befriending depressed or apathetic people, and actually show how toxic they can be unlike how many kids' shows I've seen make it look easy to make those types of people easier to have fun with by simply spending time with them.
_It's a point of debate as to what or who was the real garbage_ Anna was clearly labelled right at the beginning as a misanthrope who suited the line "the more someone cares, the more annoying they get". So I guess it was Philip's own problem that he liked her & wanted her to feel something. Distracting her by trying to please her with the amusement park didn't work, so he got her Pippi as an interim step when he realized the world was getting worse. This was almost Philip's story than Anna's in a way. She didn't ask him to like her nor really care that he did. Philip even apologized for "meddling", which was a sad way of saying he cared enough about Anna to want to protect her & give him & her a chance at a new life. I don't really know if she was worth it, because the only thing that she "loved"was, as confirmed in the Bonus Room, a robot Pippi that undoubtedly suited her more because there were no messy real feelings involved. She just wanted things to go her way to me - she wanted the dog & didn't mind him staying, politely acknowledging that she didn't "hate" him, but obviously couldn't care less if he did stay. The very sappy line "at least I'll have someone's hand to hold" at the end of the world didn't really suit someone who said a classic empowerment line "What was it, me not being some obedient little girlfriend?" I guess the whole moral of the story is that animals, robot or real, are better than people because they can't hurt us with words (38:53). And although I love dogs, I very much disagree with that. A great little game that gives you a lot to think about. I really enjoy Brown Sugar's worlds, art, & characters.
Yeah that line about dogs can't hurt you with words stuck with me too, what if the only reason Anna loves Pippi is because it can't talk? If Pippi can talk, would it even love Anna back? Was there a reason why Pippi ran away in the first place? Why Anna had to catch it when she found it? You would think that a dog who has good relationship with its master would run to her as soon as it sees her after being lost alone. Maybe the twist is that Pippi loves Philip more than Anna, since it stayed still and backflipping when he appears. While Anna had to grab it most of the time. Anyway, I'm overthinking this. This is the first brown sugar's game lp I watch, it seems she is a good storyteller-kind dev 😁
+Let's Read Textbook Pippi was such an adorable little robot dog, too! I wondered why it ran away in the first place... twice during the game, characters commented that maybe Pippi ran away to try to give a good reason for Anna to leave with Philip. Like Pippi knew there would only be this one-time chance to leave & be free of this infected world. There were a lot of layers to this very short game, which is why I like Brown Sugar's style so much. The games are very unique in plot & the characters are interesting. Definitely check out the other games in MBH's playlist in the description & I know you will enjoy!
To be honest I find the idea of preferring dogs "cause they can't hurt with words" bit jarring which tells more about human, and what it tells is not very pretty. It honestly sounds more like unability accept that there are people with differing views and them bringing those views up is bad. Like having relationships with human is bad because they can actually talk back at you? Sure, hurting feelings is not nice, but sometimes love does not equal nice emotions.
Spoilers At first I thought this game was pretty cut and dry, and for the most part it is. However I come to realize this game truly shines within the endings, mostly ending B. Morally judging Anna and Philip is truly a hard thing to do, with three interpretations being either A: She's Selfish, B: Philips Selfish and even C: Neither are selfish but instead are self centered. Many people will say that Philip is selfish because he imposed on Anna by killing the dog, the only key of her happiness and chance of connecting with people. However, Anna killing people to save her dog is imposing in itself. I think Philips actions mirror Annas in that regard. In ending A Philip decides to stay with Anna, like Anna decides to enlist people to help rather then kill them. In ending B he kills Pipi thus imposing on Anna, just like Anna who imposed on strangers to save her dog. I think both Anna and Philip are morally flawed and self centered, however Philip has good intentions laced with selfish gain. I dont agree with people glorifying Anna by saying she is void of any selfish reason, I also now dont agree that Philip wasnt acting in self interest. ANNA LITERALLY KILLED LOTS OF PEOPLE JUST TO GET HER DOG BACK, PHILIP KILLING SAID DOG TO SAVE FRIEND EVEN IF HE IMPOSED AND TOOK AWAY HER HAPPINESS STILL CAN BE INTERPRETED AS BEING SELFLESS. Anna killing people to obtain her dog isnt, end of story.
I feel like if Anna is willing to murder people to find her dog it's probably not a good idea to put her on the ship with humanity's survivors. IDG why Phillip is putting in so much effort for someone who barely tolerates him and is fine with him dying like it's nothing. If the flashbacks were supposed to make the relationship make sense it didn't work for me.
I can't buy Philip-protag relationship, how he cares so much about her while she's rather indifferent about him, they seem to have zero same interest even in flashback.
Nice guy syndrome, even if don't care about the dude at all he is certain that you're *his* true love and will do anything to achieve *his happiness* even if this means making you miserable in the process
I really feel that this is missing another ending. Thanks for playing, Manly. The characters look cute and the story is weird and interesting. Luckily it was a robot dog, that helped me a little because it was so sad to see him die.
Phillip is such a Nice Guy™, not wonder why Anna prefer that he goes into the spaceship and she stay in a dying planet with her new friends and her dog
...My first dog was named Pippi (after Pippi Longstocking because her ears stuck straight out to the sides). She used to run away a lot because she'd panic when she felt a storm coming (and we lived in an area that had short thunderstorms almost every day for about a third of the year).
Sometimes when you love someone it’s better to let them go, in this case I say Phillip is better off getting on the space ship alone because Anna does not value him as he does her. That said I understand where Phillip is coming from, if you love someone you don’t want to leave them to die when you know they can be saved so I’m kinda on the fence about this. As for Anna and her being a misanthropist I can’t quite understand her as I’m not a misanthropist, but I can be very nihilistic and due to my depression I find myself thinking it’s okay if I die often so I understand the feeling of this gives me happiness in a world where I’m never happy so death is ok if I can keep said happiness. However, where I lose understanding is when Phillip is in the equation desperately trying to help and when she kills others for pippi, as negative as I may be I do my best not to hinder others with my emotions cause I value others life. This comment is turning into an essay but no one’s probably gonna read it anyway so I’ll keep rambling. I suppose, especially after reading all the comments, that it really comes down to Annas misanthropic feelings that really makes it hard to say whether she’ll have the opportunity to find happiness and maybe change her views on humanity or whether Phillip should’ve just let her be. I think that there’s no black and white answer. I don’t fully understand misanthropy, I looked it up to see if it can be cured, not that it’s an illness, but I’m left still unsure. So my conclusion is that being a misanthropist doesn’t excuse her behavior or make her any less selfish but that doesn’t mean Phillip’s in the right either. I would like to think that being a misanthropist isn’t the end all be all, I’d like to believe that Anna could become of a healthier mindset after leaving with Phillip. I think it’s natural to believe that for your friend, but sometimes some people are just not worth you getting killed over, literally in Phillips case. I did initially think of this in a mental health kinda way because it reminds me of depression and Anna may as well be committing suicide and I think for the most part people don’t think it’s right to not try to save someone from that whether they like it or not. But being suicidal myself I also understand the feeling of not caring whether or not you die and not wanting to be stopped. However, as far as I know misanthropy is not a mental illness so I think I’ll just come to the conclusion that Phillip should leave and Anna should stay. Phillip will hurt but just as he hoped Anna would heal, he will too. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
I sorta wonder if in a way that everyone who could kill you in game had a similar condition to Anna since not taking the android might be able to into account it's only Anna, Marguerite, and Jena who try to kill you at any point. Margurite for example might be a lower level misanthrope as she's learned somewhat how to relate to people because of Anthony since he has the same low maintenance necessities for friendship as Pippi does presumably but instead of looking like a dog he looks like a human don't get me wrong she probably still dislikes people if Anthony and her dialogue say anything about her disposition ie. "I am a high functioning android..I am Good for the planet." "If I cared anymore, I'd take an offer like that in a heartbeat" Also when she goes to attack you to protect herself as manly noted it happened fast, she didn't hesitate at all because unlike Anna her misanthropy seems to have regressed enough that while shes not afraid of death per say she also won't let someone actively kill her, especially while her most precious (Anthony) is out there. I imagine her father as he was a CEO who built robots probably specifically built Anthony to help lessen Margurite's own disgust with the world so that when he died he'd know she would be able to find a reason to keep going even if it didn't work she'd at least have Anthony. Idk if Jena's misanthropic per say but she's something she seems to be experiencing mild delusions for one ie the idea that by planting flowers she can still save the planet, though we never see any of the flowers she planted. Plus all her dialogue feels slightly..off. "I collect garbage VERY AGGRESSIVELY you know?" "I want to rid the world of all filth don't you, There's garbage everywhere!" "While I said I was the chairman of the entire committee, i'm actually the only member,everyone else quit." These lines can be taken innocently but for the context i'm pretty sure the ones she's referring to as garbage are humans..and she collects garbage....very aggressively...so if it is humans ,she is admitting to actively going out and hunting people, and I have more than a sneaking suspicion that those members didn't quit, they're dead. If she was involved in their deaths because they like Phillip tried to pull her away from what was precious to her is up for debate they could've just died from the disease but either way they probably didn't willfully "quit" like Jena claims. I tend to lean toward her killing them just because she's clearly capable of it like Margurite and Anna are and because of the line "Aww he really cares about you,though sometimes the more people care the more annoying they are." Nothing about that comment is lighthearted it's very biting towards Phillip specifically my guess as to why is she feels kinship with anna as she might've had similarly pushy friends and because Anna seems to be more attached to nature ie; animals than people as well and she might find that relatable. Like Anna she didn't have someone like Margurite's father to try and help her with this outlook for sure, but out of the three she's probably the worst as her affections seem to be directed towards plants. Which unlike Pippi or Anthony don't even require the most basic of social interaction, which might be why she is so heavily deluded believing everything's fine even though the world is clearly falling apart around her. idk it was just something I thought about because the characters who drew weapons on you all seemed to oddly have a disinterest/dislike of humanity trait in common.
This was a real treat for me, especially considering Patty and Mr Miles was one of the first series I stumbled across of yours, back before I began commenting regularly. Ending B has our protagonist upset, but I feel it's the better of the two endings because there's a least some hope of her and Philip surviving. Ending A may see her happier, but we know they're dead in the long run.
Is surviving really worth it if it means being traumatized and dead inside and losing the only thing that brings you happiness? Life without happiness is worthless garbage.
@@Yurikon3 you dont know how much suffering i lived in this life My bruise already off the chart of what fellowing that dam religous Of it's good for ya It's what will make you happy in the end It will lead you to heaven Boy you just act so high of yourself thinking you are right But here there no right and wrong I would enjoy death i would feel pleasure in death than going into this tournament of life
I don't think that was all endings. You didn't show what happens if you choose no in the second ending. Nor what happens if you catch Pippi without killing anyone, or different combinations of NPCs helping you. There's a lot of variables.
Wowie not as sad as the last works of this creator, very neat art as always and dat unsettling word that has more meaning then they let on plot point brownsugar loves to use.
I liked a lot about Pippi(game) but I sadly can't understand Anna's point. She looks very selfish to me and not really caring for the one that is trying to help her.
MineTFlame yeah to be honest and maybe that was the point but I couldn’t connect with her character. Actually when I say it like that I guess that was the point, she is very apathetic after all. Anyway she was very selfish, only 100 people in a space ship when there were 300 million androids made (to put it into comparison.) is a fact she should remember. I guess my point is that she was to disconnected for me to like her, she seemed to spoiled and ungrateful but hey that’s just my opinion. I guess the reason for that would be to make the story more interesting. The dog was a character foil for her, selfless by running away to die alone she wouldn’t mind gunning down innocents and leave her friend to toil to get on a space ship
I agree as well, Anna should have been fleshed out more or at least hinted at why she is the way she is. Edit: I do not think this anymore, I think the subtle and vaugeness of their characters really adds to the games depth.
Why is everyone calling her selfish? Her choice and Philip's choice in the end are the same. They want to choose the thing that makes them the happiest and they can't let go. Anna wants Pippi to remain alive while Phillip wants Anna to survive. She wants to keep the dog alive despite him being against it and he wants to force her on the spaceship even though she's against it. The difference is that while Philip can adapt to Anna's choice, Anna is absolutely heartbroken in Phillip's choice. If she's selfish for wanting to remain with the dog, he's selfish for making her do something against her will since they're both only focused on their own happiness and not on what the other person wants.
@@darkness-chan4861 I think its because the game never comments directly on her character or give exposition as to why shes this way. When you take in account the gameplay revolving around hiring others or slaughtering them you get a sense of why she does the things she does. I was one of the people who thought she was selfish but after contemplating shes just flawed, not really selfish or kind.
Anna personality is really annoying and selfish... If the dog and Philip would survive, this would be the best ending Also I liked how the side characters were made, they were quite interesting ^^
How is it selfish to choose the one thing that brings you happiness over "surviving" if survival means being unhappy and, after Phillip murderkilled her dog, clearly traumatized and dead inside?
Lecie to be selfless sometimes is to do something, that may bring you unhappiness or other sort of struggle for the sake of the other person/people. Selfish acts are those which are done to contribute to some sort of selfish self-fortunes, such as doing something that makes you happy. To choose happiness is not a bad act, but is not selfless, rather often is a selfish one, like in the case of Anna
@@rektbiich4585 she is selfish ofcourse But that mean he is also selfish especially he want to force his own moral on her He should've just gone What do you know she would suicide because of him killing her happiness
Really disliked the protagonist in this game, but felt for Phillip and the other characters more. Never got the sense that she cared for him at all while he obviously cared for her. Also why couldn't they just take the damn dog since it's a robot anyway. Ending A felt like she was manipulating him into death. I also do think she would've gotten bored of Pippi ,but who really knows I guess.
Meh, I didn't like the protagonist for this. A dog's life is shorter than hers, and even if she avoids turning into a zombie for god knows how long, she's gonna lose her "happiness" anyways. Phillip who's done nothing but help her and not asking for anything back except for her to leave the galaxy with him, who has about the same lifespan (assuming neither dies before the end of their lifespan), may have been upset and irrational when asking for her to come around, but it's frustrating to have someone you adore very much and be chosen over living life together for someone/something else. The idea of your loved one turning into something unrecognizable even if you returned is frightening too.
She didn't want his help, and his "help" in ending b literally consisted of killing the one thing that makes her happy to FORCE her to come with him. Thats really shitty help.
I don't like how Phillip's actions are seen as acceptable but not Anna's. They're both just trying to protect the one thing that brings them happiness for their own selfish reasons
Interesting, I didn't even take a dog's lifespan into account. I just thought Phillip's decision was the more logical one. Others argue that Anna didn't want his help, but if we're correct in that Anna has a mental condition, why would any friend allow someone with a mental condition to make such an illogical decision? Isn't that like a friend allowing someone with depression to commit suicide with "she didn't want my help" as a reason? It wasn't like Phillip didn't try to get the dog on board. If Phillip left the both of them, he would have been deemed a shitty friend. Damned if he do, damned if he don't.
@@cmaej28 It's official that Anna is a Misanthropist which would explain her behavior without the need to speculate about mental illness. That would make her choice valid and Phillip would keep being just as selfish as she is
Frankly, I would've dumped Anna and gone on my own. She obviously doesn't give a toss about anyone but her dog. To the point, she'll kill people apparently. So, she'll gets what she deserves.
People keep saying anna is selfish. First of all, the whole 'garbage' narrative for other people fits in with Anna's 'misanthropist' trait- a person who dislikes humanity. To her, humans are garbage. Second: she's clearly EXTREMELY depressed and/or has some other kind of mental disorder. Anna isn't selfish for clinging to the one thing that has made her happy (you would do the same)- look at the last ending. She got seriously hurt and traumatized by losing Pippi. Is it really selfish to want to stay with the dog, if the other option leaves you as an empty husk? I think not. The selfish one is Philip- at least in the last ending- he kills the dog his girlfriend treasures more than anything, just so he can have his selfish desire of staying with her- despite how broken she is afterwards. He destroys her happiness because he wants the happiness she gives him. What a selfish twat. (PS: was that ACTUALLY all the endings? It seems like more could be done with the game.)
I dunno man, you can be cured from depression, but you can't be cured from being dead. Ideally I would rather have Phillip gives her ticket to anyone else that wants to survive though. Anna can stay and die if that's what she wants.
@@TakeFlightRaven When you think of it like that rationally it does not make sense. However the characters emotions complicate the situation thus resulting in the endings. Philip is able to think rationally, Anna doesn't care to.
The discussion here is an exceedingly nuanced and difficult one, as it necessitates entertaining the morality of temporarily rescinding autonomy and allowing a person the right to make a decision on another’s behalf. This is an innately complicated conversation, and with respect to Anna, it’s subject to personal interpretation whether she should or shouldn't be allowed to assert her own authority in the situation presented. Phillip is a childhood friend, yet she feels nothing for him, does this grant him the ability to enforce the subjugation of her will to his demands, no matter how logical or well-intentioned they might be? It can be considered both exasperating and degrading for someone with mental illness to have another person disrespect their wishes or automatically assume an impairment in judgement simply because of it. If Anna is naturally a misanthropic person who prioritizes living happily with Pippi while harboring no fear of impending death, then the choice, despite its callousness towards Phillip, is still hers alone to make. In this argument, she has the clarity to decide her own fate. Or, is Anna’s decision comparable to suicide impelled by her refusal to be parted from Pippi, in which case Phillip’s exertion of control over her to save her life is slightly more explicable, even though Anna becomes traumatized and numb as a result? Are his actions justified in this precarious circumstance, or should he have just let her be and left without her? We’re also lacking knowledge as to what the future of the escaped people will be like, and whether perhaps some alleviation would be eventually feasible to redress her apathy. Since their departure on the ship appears to be tied to a negative route, I would suspect that this possibility is unlikely. It seems to be the writer’s intention that the ending with Pippi is preferable, though obviously bittersweet. Overall, it’s truly a testament to the quality and equivocal nature of the writing that such profoundly interesting discourse can be born from it.
@@AbhorrentRose she wouldnt leave without Pipi just like he wouldnt leave without her. Phillip could of just left her behind if he was just trying to survive. In the ending when he kills Pipi he is putting his happiness before Anna's, not thinking "rationally." Plus on earth or in space they would eventually die anyways.
@@zaggora7316 Id have to argue that Philip was actually being selfless in that regard and pretty rational. He tells Anna that even if she thinks he was garbage after he killed Pipi, he wanted to still save her. He understands why she wont talk to him at the end and even wonders did he do the right thing. Sure he liked Anna and she brought him happiness, he realized that her staying on a forsaken planet because of a dog was irrational.
..I don't know why, but I like this floor the most at 14:40. I hope I can find a loop version to listen it for while. I will just download the game for it. haha
Ending A is nice and sweet. Ending ? is Hmm..kind of bittersweet? Ending B is..Yikes.. I love pets like dogs so much..it hurt me by his selfish destroy her happiness. And, I feel relax by Author who created this game say Pippi is a robot dog.. This game is nice and twisted. :)
I opened this video thinking it would be cute, maybe a little spooky, or with some horror themes, and immediately got 'From Next Door- Behind the window' in my recommended again; the only Manly series I refuse to rewatch due to spook factor. Oh no.
I really loved Patty and Mr. Miles game which remind me.. Does the creator want to recreate the game back since some of the story is incomplete(cause they lost they codes in the story)? Just curious..
So I have been thinking about this game for a little bit so I might as well give my thoughts I think this game isn’t anti environmental but it kinda of makes a story about a girl who doesn’t care about humans in a way. It isn’t about how evil environmentalist are but I wonder if it was trying to set up a situation where it made it so that people who were misanthropic looked kinda of bad The dog was a robot and so was a character that loved humans, they wanted to serve them right. But the girl seems bored and apathetic. So maybe they’re like foils for her, anyone it makes a point where she seems somewhat spoiled. Idk maybe it’s just a creepy horror game but that’s kind of what I’m getting out of it
Sorry, I laughed my ass off when that cutscene played. Not because of what happened during the cutscene, but I just imagined the creator saying, "Fu, fu, fu, I'm gonna drag this out."
People will probably hate me for saying it but I would also abandon the dog or kill it if it meant saving the life of the person I love then I would make the same decision no matter how much that person would hate me
So you would "save their life" if it meant literally destroying the only thing that brings them happiness, basically making them dead inside just so you can have the empty husk of your loved one (the loved one that doesn't even return said feelings and DOESN't WANT to be "saved" by you) around? Honestly death sounds like the favorable option.
@@Miropup This is human nature tbh, to want to preserve loved ones even if they don't agree with the sentiment. Take for example, an ill person who just wants his suffering to end, and their spouse who's desperately trying to keep them around as long as possible. Not saying it's the 'right' choice or whatever, but when put into perspective, you kinda see where the other person's coming from. We're all selfish in some way or another.
I think you might've misunderstood my point, probably should've worded my reply better. I never said Phillip's decision was acceptable, I was only explaining the rationale from his (and the other comment's) side of the story. Edit: Oops wrong name
The good ending should have been ditching Anna (and maybe taking pippi to the spaceship to be saved instead lol) because honestly Anna is so rude and selfish.
Totally agree 😂 I was thinking, "dude, your relationship isn't working. Why do you care so much about her happiness when she clearly doesn't care about yours?" in all scenes with him.
She's clearly extremely deoressed, and Pippi is the only happiness she has in the world. Is it really selfish to cling to the things that make you happy in life? In that case, you're selfish for clinging to all your worldly possessions.
@@Skillfullfilms89 remember that in this case, you're not clinging to life if you pick the dog: you, your lover, AND the dog will die (slowly and later become zombies). While if you sacrifice your dog, only it dies.
A game about people picking litter? Whaaaaaaaaa? My kind of game. Yeee moar caring about the planet!! Edit: People calling Anna selfish clearly have never really loved their pets. "it's just a dog." My pets are like my children to me. It's not an easy choice but she clearly didn't seem to like the guy as much as he liked her. So it's her choice to stay. He didn't have to take her with him. Animals are as important as humans.
Not really. As human, the first priority is another human. It does not negate care for pet, but gives it proper measure. In this story pet was also robot, so there really was not that big conflict.
This Anna is so stupid... Also Philip. She just throwed away only person who love her and care about her, for a stupid robot dog (which can't hurt like people, just because robot dog can't talk). Also, helping this crazy young girl isn''t worth, because she is not love him, don't care about him and she don't need him. That's... eh... so often to see nowaday... that people trying to make friends with animal, but not human... Is humans are so bad, that animals are better ?
Living for manly saying “peepee” instead of “pippi.”
Pippi means 'peepee' in german
Pipi means piss in French
@@Hiromaku1 Starting to think they didn't love the dog as much as they said
P sure "Pippi" is pronounced that way
I.... Can't at all hear the difference?
man, this really was a zombie game
in the ending where you spare people, you're all doomed to become "garbage" or "zombies" or whatever
in the ending where you gun every threat down, you escape via some ship

"Picking up the garbage. Don't even have to shoot anyone for it!" That sounds really weird out of context XD
GARBAGE DAY!
So why can't that tiny small ass robot dog come on the spaceship? It's not going to eat or shit so why does it matter?!
Bloom
Cause drama
Ugh, my heart can't handle anything with a dog. I just can't. Even with the bonus room that gave us info on Pippi, it still hurts to see that one cut scene play out. Poor little dog looked like it had blue/tears on it's face; don't think it was, but oof. I just need to give my oofs to the comments. Anyone want to feel with me? You are welcome to, fellow dog lovers. But I did genuinely enjoy the game, the art style, and the name of Pippi for a dog is adorable to me, now. Keep up the fun plays, Manly, and the great work, Brown Sugar. God bless yours and you all! :)

I'd like to, but really can't for the life of me understand why you care more about a fictional dog than a bunch of fictional humans being killed.
@@jia9858 The game makes the other people look disposable (garbage) while the dog is clearly an important part of the game. Makes sense to care more about the dog than the people
@@jia9858 Oh, dont' get me wrong; I do care if other characters get killed. When a story is real good, I feel hurt to see someone I care about die; it's a shock. But in this case, the dog is a special part of the girl's life - and I adore the dog we have. To imagine having to choose to leave such a loved one behind is incredibly heartbreaking to me.

The only good ending would be if Phillip left her on the planet with Pippi and took one of the other NPCs and came to terms with the fact their relationship would have never worked.
I do wish I knew why they weren't allowed to bring the dog, especially knowing it was an android. It seems weird unless the rules were no personal belongings allowed on the ship.
think about it; if every person was allowed to bring something along - it would all be garbage in no time. the cycle would continue.
it seems in this world that the pollution and trash caused the zombies in the first place.
so it would almost make more sense that you can't take the dog - bc it's made out of parts that will become garbage eventually -
if the dog was real, it might not be a problem
With respect to the events of endings A and B, I find it a little ironic that the ending where Phillip and Anna escape the planet physically unscathed necessitates arguably vile or “filthy” actions to achieve, while the more pacifistic route culminates in the characters imminently decaying into actual garbage. As mentioned, the game certainly seems to be discussing the subjectivity of who or what constitutes “garbage”. Is survival a defense of depravity, or is moral decrepitude even worse than physically rotting into literal refuse? It’s a simple game, but the ethical ambiguities were still effective nonetheless. The music was also lovely, especially, as morbid as it sounds, during the death of Pippi. I do much prefer Patty and Mr. Miles as well, but I’m glad to see any additional work this creator has put forth.
The relationship seems very one sided. Philip is obviously in love with Anna, but Anna displays no interest other than "I don't hate you." Anna even said that Pippi is the only thing that ever brought her happiness.
The conflict really is Anna's only source of happiness vs Philip's desperate love. Both have their downsides and unfortunately, there isn't really middle ground. As always, Brown Sugar's story doesn't have a true happy ending.
I think, retroactively, the game is one of the few examples out there that attempts to illustrate the love and frustration that comes with dating or befriending a loner, or someone who is depressed or unaffected/unresponsive. He doesn't really question her why she is like this, given how the world is, and he cares for her and loves her no matter what, but he does pressure and punish himself for not being able to "make her happy all of the time."
Still, Anna does notice his efforts and appreciates their time spent together. While she is a misanthropist who, by trade, hates being around people, she explicitly says she does not hate him, so I think those feelings are reciprocated in Anna's own way. Much like many real mental health issues, there really is no perfect end-all, be-all cure for her outlook, so Philip's best option really is to swallow the miscommunication and just be there at her side, come what may.
While Anna doesn't feel comfortable with talking to people all of the time, she still wants and appreciates social contact and affection, which Pippi gives her, pressure free.
That is an interesting interpretation of the story.
I like the idea of a story portraying difficulties in befriending depressed or apathetic people, and actually show how toxic they can be unlike how many kids' shows I've seen make it look easy to make those types of people easier to have fun with by simply spending time with them.
Alice Is Calling y’all made such great points!
_It's a point of debate as to what or who was the real garbage_
Anna was clearly labelled right at the beginning as a misanthrope who suited the line "the more someone cares, the more annoying they get". So I guess it was Philip's own problem that he liked her & wanted her to feel something. Distracting her by trying to please her with the amusement park didn't work, so he got her Pippi as an interim step when he realized the world was getting worse. This was almost Philip's story than Anna's in a way.
She didn't ask him to like her nor really care that he did. Philip even apologized for "meddling", which was a sad way of saying he cared enough about Anna to want to protect her & give him & her a chance at a new life. I don't really know if she was worth it, because the only thing that she "loved"was, as confirmed in the Bonus Room, a robot Pippi that undoubtedly suited her more because there were no messy real feelings involved. She just wanted things to go her way to me - she wanted the dog & didn't mind him staying, politely acknowledging that she didn't "hate" him, but obviously couldn't care less if he did stay. The very sappy line "at least I'll have someone's hand to hold" at the end of the world didn't really suit someone who said a classic empowerment line "What was it, me not being some obedient little girlfriend?" I guess the whole moral of the story is that animals, robot or real, are better than people because they can't hurt us with words (38:53). And although I love dogs, I very much disagree with that.
A great little game that gives you a lot to think about. I really enjoy Brown Sugar's worlds, art, & characters.
Yeah that line about dogs can't hurt you with words stuck with me too, what if the only reason Anna loves Pippi is because it can't talk? If Pippi can talk, would it even love Anna back? Was there a reason why Pippi ran away in the first place? Why Anna had to catch it when she found it? You would think that a dog who has good relationship with its master would run to her as soon as it sees her after being lost alone.
Maybe the twist is that Pippi loves Philip more than Anna, since it stayed still and backflipping when he appears. While Anna had to grab it most of the time.
Anyway, I'm overthinking this. This is the first brown sugar's game lp I watch, it seems she is a good storyteller-kind dev 😁
+Let's Read Textbook Pippi was such an adorable little robot dog, too! I wondered why it ran away in the first place... twice during the game, characters commented that maybe Pippi ran away to try to give a good reason for Anna to leave with Philip. Like Pippi knew there would only be this one-time chance to leave & be free of this infected world. There were a lot of layers to this very short game, which is why I like Brown Sugar's style so much. The games are very unique in plot & the characters are interesting. Definitely check out the other games in MBH's playlist in the description & I know you will enjoy!
NaturalFlirtGamer y’all both hit such great points honestly
After so many years I haven't been on this channel, your still here commenting on each video
To be honest I find the idea of preferring dogs "cause they can't hurt with words" bit jarring which tells more about human, and what it tells is not very pretty.
It honestly sounds more like unability accept that there are people with differing views and them bringing those views up is bad. Like having relationships with human is bad because they can actually talk back at you? Sure, hurting feelings is not nice, but sometimes love does not equal nice emotions.
I feel this is going to be a lowkey horror game
Spoilers
At first I thought this game was pretty cut and dry, and for the most part it is. However I come to realize this game truly shines within the endings, mostly ending B. Morally judging Anna and Philip is truly a hard thing to do, with three interpretations being either A: She's Selfish, B: Philips Selfish and even C: Neither are selfish but instead are self centered. Many people will say that Philip is selfish because he imposed on Anna by killing the dog, the only key of her happiness and chance of connecting with people. However, Anna killing people to save her dog is imposing in itself. I think Philips actions mirror Annas in that regard. In ending A Philip decides to stay with Anna, like Anna decides to enlist people to help rather then kill them. In ending B he kills Pipi thus imposing on Anna, just like Anna who imposed on strangers to save her dog. I think both Anna and Philip are morally flawed and self centered, however Philip has good intentions laced with selfish gain. I dont agree with people glorifying Anna by saying she is void of any selfish reason, I also now dont agree that Philip wasnt acting in self interest. ANNA LITERALLY KILLED LOTS OF PEOPLE JUST TO GET HER DOG BACK, PHILIP KILLING SAID DOG TO SAVE FRIEND EVEN IF HE IMPOSED AND TOOK AWAY HER HAPPINESS STILL CAN BE INTERPRETED AS BEING SELFLESS. Anna killing people to obtain her dog isnt, end of story.
I adore Brown Sugars games! I really look forward to anything else they make in the future. I love their art style.
Thanks for playing Manly.
I feel like if Anna is willing to murder people to find her dog it's probably not a good idea to put her on the ship with humanity's survivors. IDG why Phillip is putting in so much effort for someone who barely tolerates him and is fine with him dying like it's nothing. If the flashbacks were supposed to make the relationship make sense it didn't work for me.
It's really odd that she has happy-going walking sprites, despite she's in zombie apocalypse and being depression.
I can't buy Philip-protag relationship, how he cares so much about her while she's rather indifferent about him, they seem to have zero same interest even in flashback.
Mm yeah
Yeah it’s a mess.
Nice guy syndrome, even if don't care about the dude at all he is certain that you're *his* true love and will do anything to achieve *his happiness* even if this means making you miserable in the process
If you had chosen "No" for when the prompt asks "Can he shoot Pippi?," would that have resulted in another ending?
I really feel that this is missing another ending. Thanks for playing, Manly. The characters look cute and the story is weird and interesting. Luckily it was a robot dog, that helped me a little because it was so sad to see him die.
Phillip is such a Nice Guy™, not wonder why Anna prefer that he goes into the spaceship and she stay in a dying planet with her new friends and her dog
...My first dog was named Pippi (after Pippi Longstocking because her ears stuck straight out to the sides). She used to run away a lot because she'd panic when she felt a storm coming (and we lived in an area that had short thunderstorms almost every day for about a third of the year).
THANK GOODNESS.
I love Brown Sugar’s work. I was hoping to see more of their games and I am so EXCITED
Sometimes when you love someone it’s better to let them go, in this case I say Phillip is better off getting on the space ship alone because Anna does not value him as he does her. That said I understand where Phillip is coming from, if you love someone you don’t want to leave them to die when you know they can be saved so I’m kinda on the fence about this. As for Anna and her being a misanthropist I can’t quite understand her as I’m not a misanthropist, but I can be very nihilistic and due to my depression I find myself thinking it’s okay if I die often so I understand the feeling of this gives me happiness in a world where I’m never happy so death is ok if I can keep said happiness. However, where I lose understanding is when Phillip is in the equation desperately trying to help and when she kills others for pippi, as negative as I may be I do my best not to hinder others with my emotions cause I value others life. This comment is turning into an essay but no one’s probably gonna read it anyway so I’ll keep rambling. I suppose, especially after reading all the comments, that it really comes down to Annas misanthropic feelings that really makes it hard to say whether she’ll have the opportunity to find happiness and maybe change her views on humanity or whether Phillip should’ve just let her be. I think that there’s no black and white answer. I don’t fully understand misanthropy, I looked it up to see if it can be cured, not that it’s an illness, but I’m left still unsure. So my conclusion is that being a misanthropist doesn’t excuse her behavior or make her any less selfish but that doesn’t mean Phillip’s in the right either. I would like to think that being a misanthropist isn’t the end all be all, I’d like to believe that Anna could become of a healthier mindset after leaving with Phillip. I think it’s natural to believe that for your friend, but sometimes some people are just not worth you getting killed over, literally in Phillips case. I did initially think of this in a mental health kinda way because it reminds me of depression and Anna may as well be committing suicide and I think for the most part people don’t think it’s right to not try to save someone from that whether they like it or not. But being suicidal myself I also understand the feeling of not caring whether or not you die and not wanting to be stopped. However, as far as I know misanthropy is not a mental illness so I think I’ll just come to the conclusion that Phillip should leave and Anna should stay. Phillip will hurt but just as he hoped Anna would heal, he will too. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
I sorta wonder if in a way that everyone who could kill you in game had a similar condition to Anna since not taking the android might be able to into account it's only Anna, Marguerite, and Jena who try to kill you at any point.
Margurite for example might be a lower level misanthrope as she's learned somewhat how to relate to people because of Anthony since he has the same low maintenance necessities for friendship as Pippi does presumably but instead of looking like a dog he looks like a human don't get me wrong she probably still dislikes people if Anthony and her dialogue say anything about her disposition ie.
"I am a high functioning android..I am Good for the planet."
"If I cared anymore, I'd take an offer like that in a heartbeat"
Also when she goes to attack you to protect herself as manly noted it happened fast, she didn't hesitate at all because unlike Anna her misanthropy seems to have regressed enough that while shes not afraid of death per say she also won't let someone actively kill her, especially while her most precious (Anthony) is out there. I imagine her father as he was a CEO who built robots probably specifically built Anthony to help lessen Margurite's own disgust with the world so that when he died he'd know she would be able to find a reason to keep going even if it didn't work she'd at least have Anthony.
Idk if Jena's misanthropic per say but she's something she seems to be experiencing mild delusions for one ie the idea that by planting flowers she can still save the planet, though we never see any of the flowers she planted. Plus all her dialogue feels slightly..off.
"I collect garbage VERY AGGRESSIVELY you know?"
"I want to rid the world of all filth don't you, There's garbage everywhere!"
"While I said I was the chairman of the entire committee, i'm actually the only member,everyone else quit."
These lines can be taken innocently but for the context i'm pretty sure the ones she's referring to as garbage are humans..and she collects garbage....very aggressively...so if it is humans ,she is admitting to actively going out and hunting people, and I have more than a sneaking suspicion that those members didn't quit, they're dead. If she was involved in their deaths because they like Phillip tried to pull her away from what was precious to her is up for debate they could've just died from the disease but either way they probably didn't willfully "quit" like Jena claims. I tend to lean toward her killing them just because she's clearly capable of it like Margurite and Anna are and because of the line
"Aww he really cares about you,though sometimes the more people care the more annoying they are."
Nothing about that comment is lighthearted it's very biting towards Phillip specifically my guess as to why is she feels kinship with anna as she might've had similarly pushy friends and because Anna seems to be more attached to nature ie; animals than people as well and she might find that relatable. Like Anna she didn't have someone like Margurite's father to try and help her with this outlook for sure, but out of the three she's probably the worst as her affections seem to be directed towards plants. Which unlike Pippi or Anthony don't even require the most basic of social interaction, which might be why she is so heavily deluded believing everything's fine even though the world is clearly falling apart around her. idk it was just something I thought about because the characters who drew weapons on you all seemed to oddly have a disinterest/dislike of humanity trait in common.
OMG BROWN SUGAR RELEASED A GAME YEEEE
This was a real treat for me, especially considering Patty and Mr Miles was one of the first series I stumbled across of yours, back before I began commenting regularly. Ending B has our protagonist upset, but I feel it's the better of the two endings because there's a least some hope of her and Philip surviving. Ending A may see her happier, but we know they're dead in the long run.
Is surviving really worth it if it means being traumatized and dead inside and losing the only thing that brings you happiness? Life without happiness is worthless garbage.
@@Miropup The key is to survive and learn to cope and widen horizons. That is hard to do while dead.

I don't think that was all endings. You didn't show what happens if you choose no in the second ending. Nor what happens if you catch Pippi without killing anyone, or different combinations of NPCs helping you.
There's a lot of variables.
Also giving gp to everyone but not asking for help, I wonder if that would give different result.
He showed what happens when you catch pippi and don't kill anyone
No, he showed what happens when you catch Pippi but BRING everyone. He didn't show leaving everyone underground.
@@RupertAndCheese he did. 27:08 to 27:25
Beep Beep he specifically said he didn’t find the flash back in that ending so we didn’t have any knowledge of Phillip
The only 'right' or 'correct' thing to do here is for Phillip to take Pipi instead of Anna and flip the little psychopath off from space.
Remember how the android has a spirit wandering around?
Maybe Pippi's is too.
Wowie not as sad as the last works of this creator, very neat art as always and dat unsettling word that has more meaning then they let on plot point brownsugar loves to use.
Watches 20 seconds of video: Nice video great job
Pippi is described as "calculated" and later on turns out to be a robot...
I liked a lot about Pippi(game) but I sadly can't understand Anna's point. She looks very selfish to me and not really caring for the one that is trying to help her.
MineTFlame yeah to be honest and maybe that was the point but I couldn’t connect with her character. Actually when I say it like that I guess that was the point, she is very apathetic after all. Anyway she was very selfish, only 100 people in a space ship when there were 300 million androids made (to put it into comparison.) is a fact she should remember.
I guess my point is that she was to disconnected for me to like her, she seemed to spoiled and ungrateful but hey that’s just my opinion.
I guess the reason for that would be to make the story more interesting. The dog was a character foil for her, selfless by running away to die alone she wouldn’t mind gunning down innocents and leave her friend to toil to get on a space ship
I agree as well, Anna should have been fleshed out more or at least hinted at why she is the way she is.
Edit: I do not think this anymore, I think the subtle and vaugeness of their characters really adds to the games depth.
@Brandon Bevill I never thought about it like that, that's really clever.
Why is everyone calling her selfish? Her choice and Philip's choice in the end are the same. They want to choose the thing that makes them the happiest and they can't let go. Anna wants Pippi to remain alive while Phillip wants Anna to survive. She wants to keep the dog alive despite him being against it and he wants to force her on the spaceship even though she's against it. The difference is that while Philip can adapt to Anna's choice, Anna is absolutely heartbroken in Phillip's choice. If she's selfish for wanting to remain with the dog, he's selfish for making her do something against her will since they're both only focused on their own happiness and not on what the other person wants.
@@darkness-chan4861 I think its because the game never comments directly on her character or give exposition as to why shes this way. When you take in account the gameplay revolving around hiring others or slaughtering them you get a sense of why she does the things she does. I was one of the people who thought she was selfish but after contemplating shes just flawed, not really selfish or kind.
I am very simple... if there is a robot character, that character is automatically my favorite.
22:20 and 25:20 Anthony's dialogue right there was very relatable.
Short and sweet! Love these games
Oh no, a RPG with a dog; this better not get sad. :(
Oh no.
Scrolling so quickly to the end of the comment section is scary
WOW PATTY AND MR. MILES WHAT A THROW BACK!
The words spoken at 36:51 will be used by me the next time I meet the "people" I met
Long live pippi!
My, how interesting!
I still eagerly await a (at least relatively okay) horror game that involves the words "peepee poopoo man"
Anna personality is really annoying and selfish... If the dog and Philip would survive, this would be the best ending
Also I liked how the side characters were made, they were quite interesting ^^
How is it selfish to choose the one thing that brings you happiness over "surviving" if survival means being unhappy and, after Phillip murderkilled her dog, clearly traumatized and dead inside?
Lecie to be selfless sometimes is to do something, that may bring you unhappiness or other sort of struggle for the sake of the other person/people. Selfish acts are those which are done to contribute to some sort of selfish self-fortunes, such as doing something that makes you happy. To choose happiness is not a bad act, but is not selfless, rather often is a selfish one, like in the case of Anna
@@rektbiich4585 she is selfish ofcourse
But that mean he is also selfish especially he want to force his own moral on her

oh...fug
Really disliked the protagonist in this game, but felt for Phillip and the other characters more. Never got the sense that she cared for him at all while he obviously cared for her. Also why couldn't they just take the damn dog since it's a robot anyway. Ending A felt like she was manipulating him into death. I also do think she would've gotten bored of Pippi ,but who really knows I guess.
Okay so we have a dog named Pippin. Hit way too close to home, game. TwT
Why did they feel the need to make a rad AMV of that ending...
Can cute horror be a new genre XD
Isn't it already?
Pie Silica its existed for a long time
ku ku I’ve apparently lived under a rock then or just haven’t noticed for some reason
auto play is amazing and the word "Pippi" made me think of Spamton
Meh, I didn't like the protagonist for this. A dog's life is shorter than hers, and even if she avoids turning into a zombie for god knows how long, she's gonna lose her "happiness" anyways. Phillip who's done nothing but help her and not asking for anything back except for her to leave the galaxy with him, who has about the same lifespan (assuming neither dies before the end of their lifespan), may have been upset and irrational when asking for her to come around, but it's frustrating to have someone you adore very much and be chosen over living life together for someone/something else. The idea of your loved one turning into something unrecognizable even if you returned is frightening too.
She didn't want his help, and his "help" in ending b literally consisted of killing the one thing that makes her happy to FORCE her to come with him. Thats really shitty help.
I don't like how Phillip's actions are seen as acceptable but not Anna's. They're both just trying to protect the one thing that brings them happiness for their own selfish reasons
Interesting, I didn't even take a dog's lifespan into account. I just thought Phillip's decision was the more logical one. Others argue that Anna didn't want his help, but if we're correct in that Anna has a mental condition, why would any friend allow someone with a mental condition to make such an illogical decision? Isn't that like a friend allowing someone with depression to commit suicide with "she didn't want my help" as a reason?
It wasn't like Phillip didn't try to get the dog on board. If Phillip left the both of them, he would have been deemed a shitty friend. Damned if he do, damned if he don't.
@@cmaej28 It's official that Anna is a Misanthropist which would explain her behavior without the need to speculate about mental illness. That would make her choice valid and Phillip would keep being just as selfish as she is
@@cmaej28 Y'all are forgetting that the dog is a robot.
i recommend ''At Home Alone'' it's a free to play rpg horror game
whoa Pippi is another game
Frankly, I would've dumped Anna and gone on my own. She obviously doesn't give a toss about anyone but her dog. To the point, she'll kill people apparently. So, she'll gets what she deserves.
"Hello it is I, PeePee the Forest Fairy"
-my first thought to seeing you play a game named Pippi.
People keep saying anna is selfish. First of all, the whole 'garbage' narrative for other people fits in with Anna's 'misanthropist' trait- a person who dislikes humanity. To her, humans are garbage.
Second: she's clearly EXTREMELY depressed and/or has some other kind of mental disorder. Anna isn't selfish for clinging to the one thing that has made her happy (you would do the same)- look at the last ending. She got seriously hurt and traumatized by losing Pippi. Is it really selfish to want to stay with the dog, if the other option leaves you as an empty husk? I think not.
The selfish one is Philip- at least in the last ending- he kills the dog his girlfriend treasures more than anything, just so he can have his selfish desire of staying with her- despite how broken she is afterwards. He destroys her happiness because he wants the happiness she gives him. What a selfish twat.
(PS: was that ACTUALLY all the endings? It seems like more could be done with the game.)
I dunno man, you can be cured from depression, but you can't be cured from being dead.
Ideally I would rather have Phillip gives her ticket to anyone else that wants to survive though. Anna can stay and die if that's what she wants.
@@TakeFlightRaven When you think of it like that rationally it does not make sense. However the characters emotions complicate the situation thus resulting in the endings. Philip is able to think rationally, Anna doesn't care to.
The discussion here is an exceedingly nuanced and difficult one, as it necessitates entertaining the morality of temporarily rescinding autonomy and allowing a person the right to make a decision on another’s behalf. This is an innately complicated conversation, and with respect to Anna, it’s subject to personal interpretation whether she should or shouldn't be allowed to assert her own authority in the situation presented. Phillip is a childhood friend, yet she feels nothing for him, does this grant him the ability to enforce the subjugation of her will to his demands, no matter how logical or well-intentioned they might be? It can be considered both exasperating and degrading for someone with mental illness to have another person disrespect their wishes or automatically assume an impairment in judgement simply because of it. If Anna is naturally a misanthropic person who prioritizes living happily with Pippi while harboring no fear of impending death, then the choice, despite its callousness towards Phillip, is still hers alone to make. In this argument, she has the clarity to decide her own fate. Or, is Anna’s decision comparable to suicide impelled by her refusal to be parted from Pippi, in which case Phillip’s exertion of control over her to save her life is slightly more explicable, even though Anna becomes traumatized and numb as a result? Are his actions justified in this precarious circumstance, or should he have just let her be and left without her? We’re also lacking knowledge as to what the future of the escaped people will be like, and whether perhaps some alleviation would be eventually feasible to redress her apathy. Since their departure on the ship appears to be tied to a negative route, I would suspect that this possibility is unlikely. It seems to be the writer’s intention that the ending with Pippi is preferable, though obviously bittersweet.
Overall, it’s truly a testament to the quality and equivocal nature of the writing that such profoundly interesting discourse can be born from it.
@@AbhorrentRose she wouldnt leave without Pipi just like he wouldnt leave without her. Phillip could of just left her behind if he was just trying to survive. In the ending when he kills Pipi he is putting his happiness before Anna's, not thinking "rationally." Plus on earth or in space they would eventually die anyways.
@@zaggora7316 Id have to argue that Philip was actually being selfless in that regard and pretty rational. He tells Anna that even if she thinks he was garbage after he killed Pipi, he wanted to still save her. He understands why she wont talk to him at the end and even wonders did he do the right thing. Sure he liked Anna and she brought him happiness, he realized that her staying on a forsaken planet because of a dog was irrational.
"The true ending shows Phillip and Anna on the spaceship"
But it didn't? Does this mean there was a true ending?

So I have been thinking about this game for a little bit so I might as well give my thoughts
I think this game isn’t anti environmental but it kinda of makes a story about a girl who doesn’t care about humans in a way. It isn’t about how evil environmentalist are but I wonder if it was trying to set up a situation where it made it so that people who were misanthropic looked kinda of bad
The dog was a robot and so was a character that loved humans, they wanted to serve them right. But the girl seems bored and apathetic. So maybe they’re like foils for her, anyone it makes a point where she seems somewhat spoiled.
Idk maybe it’s just a creepy horror game but that’s kind of what I’m getting out of it
Something something Pop Team Epic.
Interesting..
FUCKIN "GARBAGE DAY!"
Manly Drinkos Pippi
Nilhism the game
8-bit games rule! And so does anime
Sorry, I laughed my ass off when that cutscene played. Not because of what happened during the cutscene, but I just imagined the creator saying, "Fu, fu, fu, I'm gonna drag this out."
And the True Ending?
What if you do it with ignoring everyone and catching Pippi solo? Can you kill Pippi and take her away?
Manly showed that
I only saw him kill them all and catch Pippi solo as well as get them all to help. @@darkness-chan4861

Play "Fear and Hunger" next
I think this was made in rpg maker
Takin out the garbage GARBAGE DAAAY
People will probably hate me for saying it but I would also abandon the dog or kill it if it meant saving the life of the person I love then I would make the same decision no matter how much that person would hate me
That's the normal, irl choice. But of course our protag should be able to do something else, just ask the pov of "lost in vevo" lol
So you would "save their life" if it meant literally destroying the only thing that brings them happiness, basically making them dead inside just so you can have the empty husk of your loved one (the loved one that doesn't even return said feelings and DOESN't WANT to be "saved" by you) around? Honestly death sounds like the favorable option.
@@Miropup This is human nature tbh, to want to preserve loved ones even if they don't agree with the sentiment. Take for example, an ill person who just wants his suffering to end, and their spouse who's desperately trying to keep them around as long as possible. Not saying it's the 'right' choice or whatever, but when put into perspective, you kinda see where the other person's coming from. We're all selfish in some way or another.
So you understand what Anna did. What Anna and Phillip did boils down to the same but somehow only Philip's actions are acceptable to you people
I think you might've misunderstood my point, probably should've worded my reply better. I never said Phillip's decision was acceptable, I was only explaining the rationale from his (and the other comment's) side of the story.
Edit: Oops wrong name

Pipperu
The good ending should have been ditching Anna (and maybe taking pippi to the spaceship to be saved instead lol) because honestly Anna is so rude and selfish.
Totally agree 😂
I was thinking, "dude, your relationship isn't working. Why do you care so much about her happiness when she clearly doesn't care about yours?" in all scenes with him.
She's clearly extremely deoressed, and Pippi is the only happiness she has in the world. Is it really selfish to cling to the things that make you happy in life? In that case, you're selfish for clinging to all your worldly possessions.
@@Skillfullfilms89 as a person who has been clinically diagnosed with depression, yea thats still pretty selfish lmao.
Memento Samael i would find a way to save both😮 my dog is everything to me
@@Skillfullfilms89 remember that in this case, you're not clinging to life if you pick the dog: you, your lover, AND the dog will die (slowly and later become zombies). While if you sacrifice your dog, only it dies.
A game about people picking litter? Whaaaaaaaaa? My kind of game. Yeee moar caring about the planet!!
Edit: People calling Anna selfish clearly have never really loved their pets. "it's just a dog." My pets are like my children to me. It's not an easy choice but she clearly didn't seem to like the guy as much as he liked her. So it's her choice to stay. He didn't have to take her with him. Animals are as important as humans.
Not really. As human, the first priority is another human. It does not negate care for pet, but gives it proper measure. In this story pet was also robot, so there really was not that big conflict.
@@Yurikon3 Actually I can relate to only living for my pets.
Whats your dogs name?
**PP**
Are they planning on a crimson grey 3? Love that series
One p less and it means pee in French... i can’t take that game seriously no matter what😆😐
This Anna is so stupid... Also Philip. She just throwed away only person who love her and care about her, for a stupid robot dog (which can't hurt like people, just because robot dog can't talk). Also, helping this crazy young girl isn''t worth, because she is not love him, don't care about him and she don't need him. That's... eh... so often to see nowaday... that people trying to make friends with animal, but not human... Is humans are so bad, that animals are better ?
Not their best game.
Hahaha
You said "pee pee."
