If you update make everything look like plastic* and also make buttons play a super loud ding sound when you press them. *And yes I do mean the chairs the walls the tables the floor and the ceiling.
yea its so annoying when people think theyve made a quality horror game because of the 0.2s where you feel a little surprised by something. Building tension and knowing when and how to release it is the true formula
I disagree because jumpscares literally play off our monkey brain going into fight or flight for half a second. Its not scary or even creepy, just shocking or surprising because you didnt expect it. I think its much more powerful to go the other way and build a bunch of tension and make the player think theyll be jumpscared, and never deliver the jumpscare
I thought the idea of turning lights off while you progress through the game to be quite interesting. so the more you progress the darker and scarier the game gets. 10/10 game
Thank you! Thats exaclty why i chose that because i think its cool that you kinda get eased into the game, with some lights on, and then you slowly make yourself more scared
@@misterbiscuit3706actually, that’s pretty accurate to a lot of indie jumpscare games nowadays. A really cool concept, that could be very scary, but poorly executed
I think the best/worst part is the concept of your goal being to actively make the game more difficult for yourself (in this case, turning off the lights so you can't see) could be really interesting. Which shows that these kinds of games COULD be good, or at least have good ideas burried under layers of terrible ones, if only the devs would try harder.
I know its so frustrating, i hate the fact that people keep just copying whats already been done, always making it slightly worse and more unoriginal, id love to see every game try something slightly new instead, imagine games slowly getting better over time as oppose to one great game coming out, a lot of ripoffs, and the stagnation
@@Wishbone_GamesThe problem is, new ideas are (by a shareholder's definition) more risky and less likely to get you money. It also costs more to implement a new idea well. Copying something that already exists is (in the shareholders minds) a better idea. Of course, you'll probably end up getting more profit on a good idea executed well, but the shareholders don't care about that. They only see the stocks in the next year or so, they don't care how much money they might see in the long term. Honestly the entire idea of the stock market was bad.
That's kind of a low bar to clear. The monsters in Banban look like they were drawn by a five-year-old. Just because it takes place in a kindergarten doesn't mean it has to look like it was made by a kindergartener!
I can not describe the amount of sheer TERROR this game has given me the sound design alone is some of the best i've heard and the character design makes me squirm in my chair i have NEVER seen a horror game quite this good it is 100% worth the 59.99 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hahahah im flattered that i terrified you. I honestly love making horror games and when im done my current game im gonna make so awesome horror games. My favourite genre by far.
"IT STEALS" does horror right. Its basically a walking simulator, but actually scary. No jumpscares, but good gameplay, visual and sound design that makes the atmosphere tense.
Yea ive actually seen gameplay, never played it but i love the art style, and also the sound design this amazing. Ill have to give it a proper try sometime, thanks
@@Wishbone_Gameswhen people say the game is amazing, they mean that the game is REALLY amazing. The dev behind It Steals has made some other great games with another one coming around the corner.
And the thing is it isn't JUST a walking sim, there's sprinting in all of the levels, and various mechanics in each one to give it its own identity. And the chases are all player controlled essentially, a consequence of their own failure to avoid the scenario's creature
I understand that you mean no cheap ones or whatever but I just have to point out that throughout the entire game there are ALWAYS sudden loud noises that are very obviously supposed to "jumpscare" you.
@@Falkuzrules they're diagetic, though. they're there because it is literally the monster trying to pull a fast one on you and catch you by surprise. that's not really a jumpscare, that's a game mechanic. it's also not even present in several of the gamemodes, so I don't know what you're on about here. they're _always_ telegraphing something and not even always there
Thank you, i was pretty proud of the idea, but im kinda mad i wasted it on such a terrible game, though ill probably come back to this when i make a proper horror game seriously
The problem with your prop placement is that things like a chair on a table, or the chair clipping into the inner corner of a hallway, are too memorable, and would serve as landmarks that would aid in the player's navigation of the maze. So you should take that weird "Chair on a table" then dot it around in similar looking areas to make absolutely sure that the player will ALWAYS be lost because even if they see something familiar, they will actually be in a completely different part of the maze. Except maybe not, because that would be too clever...
The fact that the game is genuinely scarier than most other mascot horrors since the monster is CONSTANTLY chasing you AND you’re making the map darker as you progress. You don’t get to sit still or take your time searching for the buttons. This game still accomplishes it’s goal of being anything but a work of art, but the irony of what I stated earlier is hilarious to me.
I feel like this game has some potential to actually be unique (which is a pattern with mascot horror, things that could be good with just a little more creativity) I loved the way the trees looked so I like the idea that the player is a child who dreams too vividly and ends up trapped in their dream every night. Stinky offers to help scare them awake if they’ll help him sleep and play a game with him, and they can only get really scared if they’re in the dark anyway, which is why the game wouldn’t be finished by just getting jumpscared immediately But that’s just the writer in me, lol
Hahaha the writer in you would make too good of a game, remember this is mascot horror.... But seriously i think thats a cool concept actually though i dont really intend to make this a full game because well, i mean... look at it. Butttt that being said i REALLY wanna make some proper horror games once im done my current project omnipresence.
@@Wishbone_Games Haha, thank you! I've noticed a lot of wasted potential in a lot of mascot horror games (Garten of Banban especially has a lot of waste) and it always hurts to see lol I look forward to seeing your other games though!

@@monke7919 rainbow friends is NOT impressive for a Roblox game. First of all, you mentioned that the “character designs are good” which yeah, compared to something like garten of banban maybe but when compared to actual games not so much. Along with this, you said that in context they can be scary like what????????? They can literally be tricked by hiding in a box right in front of them. They are not scary, they are annoying. Also I assume by “character distinctions” you meant that having different design which is like yeah, good job they did the very basic task of making different character design. And if you mean personality then I have to ask: what personality? And if you mean gameplay differences, then I must say that orange is literally just a reskin of blue but easier to deal with since he doesn’t outright kill you.

@@Wishbone_Games I think Darkwood is easily one of the best ones in recent times, even when comparing to bigger budget 'horror' games. It does so many things just right. Sounds and music in that game is so good. With combination of visuals and sound, the game creates very oppressive and creepy atmosphere. The game takes place in as you might have guessed... in a forest. So even during the day it's never too bright. Day time doesn't feel too scary most of the time, but you still encounter some enemies that build up tensions... gives you an idea about what lurks in the dark at night. You need to spend the day scavenging for a lot of basic stuff, such as fuel for generators so you can keep lights on at night. Or boards and nails to barricade doors and windows to help you defend your base. Medicine to heal after getting injured and of course, currency and materials for getting better weapons to defend yourself. But... you will die if you're still outside at night. So have to constantly estimate how much time you can spend on scavenging and when is a good time to return to your base with all the loot. And not just that, you still need to do some basic preparations when night is getting close, so coming back late will screw you over, even if you make it back inside alive. This time limit adds extra pressure on the player. So now that you've spent all day looting... night comes. All the tension and anticipation you built up during the day is about to get worse. The game ramps up music and sound to create truly creepy atmosphere, even with nothing happening it feels extremely uncomfortable to be there because you know you're no longer safe. A monster could take offense to your boarded window or door at any moment, decide to break it down and come take a look what is inside. Or something completely unexpected might happen. Waiting out the night just trying to survive, the break of dawn feels all the more welcome.
My nonexistent child suffered a level 6 heart attack just by the intro. My grandma on the other side of the world fell down a flight of stairs the moment Stinky said "it's sleeping time!" I also barely made it out alive, having to visit the world's best doctors to help recover my magnitude 3 PTSD. Very scary, would recommend playing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
100%. I really wanna make a game just like one of them and prove that is not that difficult to actually make it into a great horror experience. Though first ill need to finish my current project
I cant believe that you came up with such an original and spooky idea! The Junpscares totally add to everything and just make it amazing! Truly the pinnacle of horror.
i very much enjoy just how much you rag on this brand of lazy, half baked "walk away" sims in this video. so cathartic to see somebody else hate them as much as i do. on this topic, though, i wanna take this opportunity to say that the first FNAF shouldn't be folded in with this lot. that game had genuine innovations to the genre and had an intelligently designed, tense atmosphere. what sucks is stuff like security breach which IS walk away simulator with jumpscares
Thank you, i really like hearing from people who feel the same about this topic, especially because big gaming youtubers who make these games famous in the first place never really comment on how lazy these are. And ye, for the first FNAF, i agree, i mean pretty much everything was original, it was super innovative and i myself remember being terrified of it as a child so it did its job quite well, although it wouldnt have the same effect on me now that ive experienced some truely breathtaking horror titles.
@@puresport9 i'm talking about only the first one. i hate those types of games too but the first is not that. please at least read the comment thoroughly before you just start arguing with me lol
I had a bit of an idea for a game that i don't think is too bad. Your not really in a maze, your instead in a softplay with no other people visible. You are 7, and after a while you make a mess with a burger, causing "Mr coldboi" to enter the structure. You must go deeper into the weirdly big structure, avoiding making more messes, buying items from Scowl and eventuality obtaining a shotgun.
Ngl, I actually kinda like the area design, the forest inside and the random chairs and boxes around, even the table chair, makes it kinda... fascinating.
Hahahahahaha little nightmares is honestly in my top 3, what do you think of the new announcement for the third one? Im a little bit scared because of Tarsier stepping down from development
This is literally the entirety of rec room horror right now, It's all ignited blank. And it's just a maze with a random character, sometimes they add more to it like; a puzzel or decoration.
Yea thinking back to it now, i think this could make for a very interesting game, maybe where you are safe in the light, but you must turn all of them off to complete your objective... ive already got a few great ideas for a mechanic like this, thanks for bringing it back up and making me think a little
@@Wishbone_Games he's pretty well known in horror game community. He even sometimes voice acting in some indie games (even if he hate his voice though) and a few developers made a bunch of references of him. (Or even calling him out when he type in his name in the game)
Hahhaahaha yea ive gotten very fast with all my 3D stuff over the years, and im sure youll get there too. I found doing freelancing a great way to speed myself up because the stress of deadlines makes you do things you didnt think you were capable of
@Wishbone_Games I want to play it but I don't have a device to properly play it on All I have is a crappy chrome book which can only run games from the Google play store 😭😭
As someone who loves fnaf its my favorite franchise honestly i love this video indie horor has really fell off especially with poppy playtime and ban ban fnaf was going that route but then we were saved by fnaf sb ruin hopefully fnaf wont fall into this cliche and hw2 keeps being good and scary
Yea i loved fnaf growing up, and the first one still holds a special place in my heart, though it brought along so many clones that sorta discredit its initial innovativeness
Kinda reminds me of Cookie Clicker. It started as a parody of "numbers go up" games but spawned an entire genre of games that do the same thing unironically.
a lot of mascot horror game devs forget that they're making a HORROR game! Either that, or they're just intentionally making it less scary so it can be more kid friendly, which is the exact opposite of what a horror game should be. Mascot horror games these days are just adventure games where you walk around an empty building completing puzzles and finding objects while a "scary" monster is chasing you. And lets not forget the lore that involves missing/dead children and employees of the building that are either haunting the monsters or became the monsters because of some big business man that wanted to turn people into monsters for some ungodly reason, because FNAF did it, which means every other mascot horror game needs to do it to, apparently.
Its valid question and i mean theres a lot of misconceptions about unity and unreal, people tend to think unreal makes better ganes, but thats not at all true. Its about how passionate and talented the person behind the game is. I really love Unity and i dont think id move on from it for a long time. Thanks btw im so glad im inspiring peolle
Wait, if my game is about a robot that’s not an animal and is just a robot, would that mean I am making robot horror or will it still be mascot horror? Just asking.
I mean... anything can be a mascot but i guess the current landscape of mascot horror is just animals, but maybe youll go on to invent your very own branch of mascot horror? Thats a cool thing to think about
Mascot horror is basically a character representing some sort of company being the main antagonist of a horror. It could probably be done, maybe the robot being like a main “character” in advertisements for the robotics company. I mean hey someone could probably make a horror about Jake from State Farm and that could probably count.
ten million likes on tik tok, $50K kickstarter funded in two hours, top wishlisted game on steam for the next six months, IGN articles, indie GOTY contender. Fantastic work 🤑
I’m surprised there isn’t any horror game without any monster. Like the only traces of monster is ambience and some flashes of a figure in the dark that disappears in a few seconds
I fuckin love stuff like that, id recommend "the complex: found footage" if youre interested in the backrooms at all, no monster, just atmosphere, brilliant game
There are some like that, the reception on them is a bit mixed. It eventually becomes predictable that the person isn't going to pull anything though since intent carries through design. It can lead to them becoming progressively less scary because the thing is no threat.
The true reason why there are little games like that is because they lack tension. When the only thing the games rely on is atmosphere, it will get boring real quick after 15-30 mins and become a walking simulator. It's a nice idea but doesn't work as a game, which require actual gameplay to work.
I actually like the monster design, it gives off evil scarecrow vibes, which is currently a rather undersaturated market. Stinky would be right at home in a corn maze.
Yayyy im glad you can take some motivation from my videos that means a lot to me. Also motvates me even more, which motivates you even more, and its an endless loop of both of us gaining more motivation
0:31 Freddy Freaker is my favorite mascot horror character. when i was a little bouncing baby boy child in the 90's I called the Freak Phone at 3 AM and was shown the future when Fortnite existed. horrible times.
I'm gonna be honest, I had a very similar idea, although not to this level. Still, I kind of love how this takes the piss out of most of the "mascot horror games" right now.
I was smiling while watching this. this is so damn accurate, I don't even know what else to say, I'm very bad at writing cliché comments. but I had fun during this video.

The game ramps up music and sound to create truly creepy atmosphere, even with nothing happening it feels extremely uncomfortable to be there because you know you're no longer safe. A monster could take offense to your boarded window or door at any moment, decide to break it down and come take a look what is inside. Or something completely unexpected might happen. Waiting out the night just trying to survive, the break of dawn feels all the more welcome.
This guy is actually amazing hes replying to everyones comment AND hearting them def got my sub
Hahaha thanks so much. I love reading comments
To be honest, out of all the horror games in recent times, this is probably one of them.
Thank you, thats really saying something about the current state of indie horror haha
My nonexistent child suffered a level 6 heart attack just by the intro. My grandma on the other side of the world fell down a flight of stairs the moment Stinky said "it's sleeping time!" I also barely made it out alive, having to visit the world's best doctors to help recover my magnitude 3 PTSD. Very scary, would recommend playing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dammmnnnn im in for one hell of a lawsuit....
this man really roasted every modern horror indie game in 1 minute
yep, and i dont feel bad for one second
still probably scarier than anything in security breach 💀
100%. I really wanna make a game just like one of them and prove that is not that difficult to actually make it into a great horror experience. Though first ill need to finish my current project
I like fnaf sb the open world stuff and secrets is fun to me
Ruin
Yeah ruin spooky😮
What about the ruin DLC?
Turning off the lights is actually a cool idea for an objective, YOU'RE the one making the level harder to navigate and spookier
Yea tbh i really did think it was a great idea, but i couldnt help but add it to this game because i think the storyline is too funny
i would not be surprised if either Fusion, Jay or Mark play this game tbh
Id be over the moon hahaha
This feels like something id find on the google play store. So i say you did a pretty good job
Yea exactly hahahah
I cant believe that you came up with such an original and spooky idea! The Junpscares totally add to everything and just make it amazing! Truly the pinnacle of horror.
i very much enjoy just how much you rag on this brand of lazy, half baked "walk away" sims in this video. so cathartic to see somebody else hate them as much as i do.
on this topic, though, i wanna take this opportunity to say that the first FNAF shouldn't be folded in with this lot. that game had genuine innovations to the genre and had an intelligently designed, tense atmosphere. what sucks is stuff like security breach which IS walk away simulator with jumpscares
Thank you, i really like hearing from people who feel the same about this topic, especially because big gaming youtubers who make these games famous in the first place never really comment on how lazy these are. And ye, for the first FNAF, i agree, i mean pretty much everything was original, it was super innovative and i myself remember being terrified of it as a child so it did its job quite well, although it wouldnt have the same effect on me now that ive experienced some truely breathtaking horror titles.
FNAF is just as bad as Poppy, Bendy, BanBan and all the other funko pop "horror games."
@@puresport9 i'm talking about only the first one. i hate those types of games too but the first is not that. please at least read the comment thoroughly before you just start arguing with me lol
I am impressed you managed to make a better garten of banban in 5 hours
I had a bit of an idea for a game that i don't think is too bad.
Your not really in a maze, your instead in a softplay with no other people visible. You are 7, and after a while you make a mess with a burger, causing "Mr coldboi" to enter the structure. You must go deeper into the weirdly big structure, avoiding making more messes, buying items from Scowl and eventuality obtaining a shotgun.
I have never been so puzzled by a storyline
genuinely what does any of that mean
Guys
I know this is crazy
But I think this guy is younger than the age of 8

The small tables around a big chair killed me why is that so funny
Hahaha im so glad it made someone laugh, i think we have the same sense of humour
It's not cliché, it's better. I mean, look at the optimization; Stinky doesn't even have 280 thousand vertices!
Damnnnn thats such a missed opportunity
the funny thing is that "it seeks" is just this but done actually well.
Oh good heavens, this did give me quite the fright indeed! Thou shook my boots truley!
This comment was quite exquisit if i do say so myself
@@Wishbone_Games Oh i do thank you kind sir for this compliment thou has ascended upon me
Ngl, I actually kinda like the area design, the forest inside and the random chairs and boxes around, even the table chair, makes it kinda... fascinating.
UA-cam randomly suggested this video to me but for good game your example is Little NIghtmares so just for that subscribed
Hahahahahaha little nightmares is honestly in my top 3, what do you think of the new announcement for the third one? Im a little bit scared because of Tarsier stepping down from development
Love how this could get as much popularity as garten of ban ban
Easily, i mean imagine i put just as much time into this as they did for banban, this would actually blow up
@@Wishbone_Games5 minutes?
High quality jump scare
I absoltely love how youtube has detected this game as being Garten of Banban. Really says a lot.
I KNOWWWWW its wayyy too good, so ironic
The best part is that UA-cam thinks this game is Garten of BanBan in the description.
Still probably scarier than 90% of indie horror games
Thats the sad truth, im hoping this video in some way changes someones mind about making another mindless game, and actually try something new
THE JUMPSCARE AUDIO IS HILARIOUS!!
Hahahahaha thank you, (made it myself)
You can scare the player with a trashy jump scare
AKA ME (a child)
Yea but i have no respect for jumpscares, theyre like the fart joke of horror
@@Wishbone_Games Well jumpscares can be good if you use it correctly, like iron lung.
@@vratti2236 Yea thats different though because there was an entire games worth of tension building up to one main scare at the end
@@Wishbone_Games True, but jumpscares can be good if you know how to use them and dont over use it.
BTW great video i was laughing alot
"I made a horror game the wrong way" featuring Gaten of Banban
"I made a horror game the wrong way(i made garten of banban)"
Ah yes, dead children, my fav type of horror
apparently its everyones favourite
This is literally the entirety of rec room horror right now,
It's all ignited blank. And it's just a maze with a random character, sometimes they add more to it like; a puzzel or decoration.
This is very cool, like a ventilator
Damnnn thats when you know its cool
I love how this is still better than anything garten of banban has done
Having to turn off lights to progress is an awesome idea, you should use it for another game!
Yea thinking back to it now, i think this could make for a very interesting game, maybe where you are safe in the light, but you must turn all of them off to complete your objective... ive already got a few great ideas for a mechanic like this, thanks for bringing it back up and making me think a little
6:07 bro there was no motivation or soul behind that scream😂 show how out of it he is
It was very late man i just wanted to sleep hahaha, i think the scream was my agony of working on this game
hope you enjoyed the sleep then XD@@Wishbone_Games
Should let Manlybadasshero play this since he's a type to play niche part of horror games (and some popular ones too) he probably will play this too
Havent heard of him but ill try see if hed be interested in playing my game, id have to warn him how bad it is first tho haha
@@Wishbone_Games he's pretty well known in horror game community. He even sometimes voice acting in some indie games (even if he hate his voice though) and a few developers made a bunch of references of him. (Or even calling him out when he type in his name in the game)
@@durratulaishah3703 Huh ill check him our then yea
Nice game u made in only 5 hours, hats off for u keep it up 👍🏻
Your monster took you 51 min I spent 1 hr on spray bottle this morning. I want to cry
Hahhaahaha yea ive gotten very fast with all my 3D stuff over the years, and im sure youll get there too. I found doing freelancing a great way to speed myself up because the stress of deadlines makes you do things you didnt think you were capable of
Omg the massive chair with the little tables makes it perfect
Haahhahahaha i know
Truly innovating
Okay but why does this look like something I'd unironically play
If you need any ideas by the way, I'd be happy to help you out
Then go unironically play it pls
Hahah my brain is overflowing with ideas so i think im okay thanks
@Wishbone_Games I want to play it but I don't have a device to properly play it on
All I have is a crappy chrome book which can only run games from the Google play store 😭😭
i love how it thinks its garten of banban
As someone who loves fnaf its my favorite franchise honestly i love this video indie horor has really fell off especially with poppy playtime and ban ban fnaf was going that route but then we were saved by fnaf sb ruin hopefully fnaf wont fall into this cliche and hw2 keeps being good and scary
Yea i loved fnaf growing up, and the first one still holds a special place in my heart, though it brought along so many clones that sorta discredit its initial innovativeness
People pretending FNAF is anything other than an over-congratulated jumpscare simulator is funny.
this is like that CGP Grey video "7 Ways to Maximize Misery" but for horror game design
Hahahhaha
How long until Stinky starts showing up on UA-cam Kids and getting bootleg plushies made of him? I'm betting less than two weeks.
Oh god, its probably already happening im ngl
As of writing this it's only been four days. I may have set the mark too high.
@@treehousegames7903 Yea it will happen any second now
Kinda reminds me of Cookie Clicker. It started as a parody of "numbers go up" games but spawned an entire genre of games that do the same thing unironically.
a lot of mascot horror game devs forget that they're making a HORROR game! Either that, or they're just intentionally making it less scary so it can be more kid friendly, which is the exact opposite of what a horror game should be. Mascot horror games these days are just adventure games where you walk around an empty building completing puzzles and finding objects while a "scary" monster is chasing you. And lets not forget the lore that involves missing/dead children and employees of the building that are either haunting the monsters or became the monsters because of some big business man that wanted to turn people into monsters for some ungodly reason, because FNAF did it, which means every other mascot horror game needs to do it to, apparently.
What if you made a game based on nostalgic memes
Heyy, thats pretty good
@@Wishbone_Gamesholy crap I SEE WHAT U DID THERE
@@Wishbone_Gamesdo you know the way to win the game?
@@Elix111 Yea just turn all the lights off, there are 3 in the map and you just have to walk up to the red buttons and left click
@@windiethecool Yea im thinking in the 4th dimension over here
It’s so funny watching someone who very clearly knows what they’re doing make something silly with their skills
still better than garten of ban ban
Ahahahahhahaha EXACTLLYYYY
Yes lmao
Trees in the building was actually a first degree dreading kind of idea
Hahaha im truly innovating on the genre

it would be 100% neat to see you make a phycological horror game considering the quality of this game
I can't wait for the overpriced merch with just pngs of the characters on them!
Yesss get ready hahahaha
And the keychains 🥴
JESUS THAT MONSTER WAS HORRIFYING
i would still rather play this then garten banban
Hahaha good, and i made this in 5hrs lol
The fact that you took the extra effort to record it in stereo lol 5:36
Ofc, it was so worth it hahha
I would love to see Markiplier try and find something positive to say about this.
Theres no way he could find anything lmaooo
its crazy that garten of Banban is up there because of the similarities to it.
Yea i find that sooooo funny
This game has me feeling like 😱
Thats how i know my game was a success
It's beautiful to watch a master at work. I hope to have the opportunity some day!
I’m just watching this but either way your not a bad game dev
Thank you hahha i appreciate it
This game feels like someone who hates Dave microwave tried to make a Dave microwave game
Spectacular work
I am honored by this
I want to ask a question, WHY IS EVERYONE USING UNITY, INSTED OF UNREAL ENGINE!? (by the way, Videos like this Are inspiring in my Opinion).
Its valid question and i mean theres a lot of misconceptions about unity and unreal, people tend to think unreal makes better ganes, but thats not at all true. Its about how passionate and talented the person behind the game is. I really love Unity and i dont think id move on from it for a long time. Thanks btw im so glad im inspiring peolle
Cause it uses another coding language i think and its harder to learn i think.
UA-cam: ah yes poppy playtime. Exactly how i remember it.
Yea i mean that just proves that you can make that game in 5 hours lolllll
Wait, if my game is about a robot that’s not an animal and is just a robot, would that mean I am making robot horror or will it still be mascot horror? Just asking.
I mean... anything can be a mascot but i guess the current landscape of mascot horror is just animals, but maybe youll go on to invent your very own branch of mascot horror? Thats a cool thing to think about
Mascot horror is basically a character representing some sort of company being the main antagonist of a horror. It could probably be done, maybe the robot being like a main “character” in advertisements for the robotics company. I mean hey someone could probably make a horror about Jake from State Farm and that could probably count.
ten million likes on tik tok, $50K kickstarter funded in two hours, top wishlisted game on steam for the next six months, IGN articles, indie GOTY contender. Fantastic work 🤑
Hahhahahaha thank would be the absolute dream. Thank you
I’m surprised there isn’t any horror game without any monster. Like the only traces of monster is ambience and some flashes of a figure in the dark that disappears in a few seconds
I fuckin love stuff like that, id recommend "the complex: found footage" if youre interested in the backrooms at all, no monster, just atmosphere, brilliant game
There are some like that, the reception on them is a bit mixed.
It eventually becomes predictable that the person isn't going to pull anything though since intent carries through design. It can lead to them becoming progressively less scary because the thing is no threat.
The true reason why there are little games like that is because they lack tension. When the only thing the games rely on is atmosphere, it will get boring real quick after 15-30 mins and become a walking simulator. It's a nice idea but doesn't work as a game, which require actual gameplay to work.
Nice
Thank you :)
@@Wishbone_Games No problem it made me laugh at least 10 times I really enjoyed it
This one game is better than every garten of banban game
This could actually be a good game if you didn't do this as a joke
I really doubt that, but id definitely be able to improve it a lot
@Wishbone_Games don't doubt your skills it's better to believe your better than you actually are than think your worse than you actually are
True, to a certain point, otherwise you get cocky
This game honestly has better goals then most indie horror games
Haha, hilarious 🤣
Thank you
4:50 not knowing what dice are is crazy

Big fan of how that banana screenshot is from a content farm and not the game. Also stinky is sleepy sweep
I actually like the monster design, it gives off evil scarecrow vibes, which is currently a rather undersaturated market. Stinky would be right at home in a corn maze.
I shall use this as a basis to base my game development progress on. As that will my motivation while enjoying watching this even more
Yayyy im glad you can take some motivation from my videos that means a lot to me. Also motvates me even more, which motivates you even more, and its an endless loop of both of us gaining more motivation

0:31 Freddy Freaker is my favorite mascot horror character. when i was a little bouncing baby boy child in the 90's I called the Freak Phone at 3 AM and was shown the future when Fortnite existed. horrible times.
I'm gonna be honest, I had a very similar idea, although not to this level.
Still, I kind of love how this takes the piss out of most of the "mascot horror games" right now.
I was smiling while watching this. this is so damn accurate, I don't even know what else to say, I'm very bad at writing cliché comments. but I had fun during this video.
