Bruh imagine actually going to the grocery store super late at night for a single bottle of soda, a single slice of pizza, and a single taco. Either your character is high as a kite or a psychopath.
@@NatLaS Thanks. I'm still worse for the experience, but improving. I'd advise people to seek help for this stuff even if it doesn't seem like something traumatic. If something feels wrong, it very likely is.
That was legitimately the most realistic part of the store in my experience though, I might need your boss to start training cashiers in my area. I've actually had countless bags with just a single medium-sized item in them over the years, its insane how many bags some of these people give you.
I'm even thinking we never "saw" the actual Grocery checkout girl- we only saw the ghost overlaid over her, and the our ghost waifu saw fit to free us.
This one guy was buying out the store's entire stock; it makes sense to go all horror-situation on them to make them leave for good, gotta prevent shortages!
This feels like a SCP and you're the D-Class being forced to go buy groceries every day until something inevitably kills you (guess the dude lucked out then)
hello fellow human person, I too purchase these items once per day single things for everyday like a regular human person. Its goodness for a healthy Squeedily Spooch!
At my time zone (southeastern Canada) they upload around 1am and since my new neighbour’s noisy grown-ass sons are part night-bat and owl, they make lots of noise and the noise they make are sooooo loud it sounds like they’re literally right next to me (my parents and I spend many sleepless nights while my 8 year old brother slept peacefully throughout lmao) so I fancy myself some horror and if it so creepy I have to cover my screen and lower my volume, I just either find something less scary and listen it to sleep or just putting putting myself some ASMR or Squeakoids to sleep (ik me and my weird sleeping techniques :/)
I have a couple large 24-hour-open grocery stores near me. It's actually nice shopping at 3AM if you don't mind large weirdly empty spaces. Just me, 7 other clients (on like a 200*200 meter area), cashier and security. NO QUEUES. No people standing in front of the stuff you want to buy. No waiting. None!
"well thankfully there's a donut on the floor..." It's simple, but every once in a while moments like those where he acts normal and transitions between a casual situation and one that juxtaposes that same demeanour into a context where you would not expect someone to act that particular way (and I am by no means new to Manly) cracks me up.
The fact that manly slowly turned around after reading the note was funny you just know every time you read a note someone always there watching you lol
I think this game is really good, but I wanted to see more of it. It has a lot of potential. Id say they should establish the normalcy a bit more by giving you more to interact with. Maybe we can talk to the cashier and other “customers” who are actually scientists in disguise. That way when the store starts going to hell, the npcs can react and really give the impression that something is going on and secrets are being kept from you. As the game goes on, maybe there are hints that there’s something else they’re experimenting on, which explains why almost everyone is dead. We don’t even have to see it, or be chased by it, but we could sense that we’re being watched, maybe see something out of the corner of our eye like in the other grocery store horror game. Idk, regardless, I’m interested to see what this dev does next, they’re good at slowly building tension, and I wish there had been a bit more payoff.
I wonder if there might have been a jump scare if manly had used the toilet instead of escaping. The music definitely seemed like it was ramping up to one, and I feel like he maybe found the escape route/option before completing the "horror" path or something. Idk
As a supermarket manager I can confirm working retail destroys you. You ever notice cashiers are ever only teenagers or the elderly? Yeah that's what one year working as a cashier does to you. You're young, happy and energetic and then BOOM you're suddenly an 80 year old woman. Edit: For the sake of clarity, I'm a dept manager, not an general store manager.
This is the ultimate horror game.. Do you know how terrifying is to go to the super market and find that freaking gigantic line to the cashier, which is slower than a upside down turtle? It makes me cru just thinking about it..
"So how was work today?" "Eh, I ate a taco and shared a bench with an abomination...you?" "Cool, I had a fight with a Karen" "Thats rough buddy" "Thank you..."
"And look how it's like, caged in" I mean, in every game where you build a store or something ever I would spam fence lines around the outdoor areas like that
Grocery/convenience store horror is one of my favorite genres 😆 I feel like they could've done a bit more with this one though, the idea/story didn't really seem very thought out
I'm gonna be honest here man, i mostly put on your videos these days as background noise while I play FGO cause your voice is relaxing as heck. Not saying they arent a good watch, they are, it's just listening to your voice helps me unwind and relax.
"Nothing on the shelves… Just like real life…" Welcome to 2022 where the health care system collapsed and then the interstate commerce system collapsed.
Literally all game: i buy a burger and encounter a monster that are hungry, feed yourself or the burger, or poison it Better yet I play on a swing with my friend, accidentally yeeted out of reality, ended up in a backroom and must fight 69 monsters for 30 years before meeting my mather and father Usually these kind are the funniest and the uncringeable horo games
The algorithm is really blessing Manly lately. Stuff uploaded under 5 hours ago usually don't pop up on my feed unless it's a livestream, but now I'm early to the party! I guess in that sense the algorithm is really blessing *me,* tho
100% the cashier got tired of working til late specially with the state the supermarket was in in some days, totally valid killing everyone tbh. somehow the game was deeply unsettling to me, something about the cashier disappearing as soon as you turned and the music made it feel pretty creepy
“This is a horror game, where you go shopping at a supermarket but you feel like something’s wrong. More so then usual…” “Oh shoot, forgot my mask again-“
I actually looked up "donut taco," and it does exist, but the ones I saw were just flat donuts folded like tacos and filled with different ingredients.
“Why they want to know my grocery buying habits, who knows.” It’s called market research, Manly, and some corporate suits can and will do shady, shady things for that data.
These supermarkets always seem designed by someone who has *never* been to a supermarket- They never captured the atmosphere that supermarkets have. Supermarkets are bright and loud with shelves nearly always filled, and they’re LARGE. Why don’t devs every use that to their advantage? _A normal supermarket, then, everything goes quiet. The background hum of freezers shut off, the blinding florescent flicker and dim, their buzzing fades. Where did all the people go?_ _Erie silence, music you didn’t even know was there plays lightly in the background, your steps echoing on the linoleum tiles._ _What’s that crunching noise?_ Sounds much more jarring to me!
I was a night janitor at a grocery store for 6 years and one time and old man in a burgundy house coat just kept walking around the store looking in the windows and then just vanished, I was watching him on the security cameras so idk how I lost him but I called my boss and asked him to come down to escort me out to my car. Another time I saw someone walk between the isles after I heard someone say my name right behind me while I was using the auto scrubber to strip the floors all alone. This game is giving me PTSD flashbacks
POV : You're about to close the register, turn off the light and call it a day after a full day shift when a window shopper decides to visit the store Your expression : 7:52
Welcome to the What Was On Your Shopping List Again? Club, how What Was On Your Shopping List Again? are ya?
DAMN YOU
v e r y
I can relate.
*You Manly Kun.*
I forgot my shopping list
Cashier: organs start falling out
Manly: “understandable, where do you keep your donuts”
Priority!
Priority Donuts 😁
Dang, realistic retail employee experience.
Bruh imagine actually going to the grocery store super late at night for a single bottle of soda, a single slice of pizza, and a single taco. Either your character is high as a kite or a psychopath.
I mean, I can get about buying a single bottle, but buying a SINGLE slice of pizza and a taco is very weird and maybe rotten
I used to do this while studying at University.
why not both?
Realistically, it would be an entire cart full that the person gets in line with exactly one minute past closing.
@@ilovestrongheroines1999 the true horror experience
"Are you ok"
"No"
You know she wanted to respond "Give me your flesh, meat bag" but that wouldn't have been good customer service.
Typical
I'd oblige tbh
as a costumer service worker I can confirm that they only thing we want from costumers is several pounds of flesh
Tbh saying no alone to a customer is incredibly rude
The real horror is how realistic the depiction of working in retail is.
"You should really clean up around here."
'If only we had time..'
This game is too immersive that it broke my immersion.
The cashier being the sole person for closing shift is the stuff of my waking nightmares.
Only unrealistic thing is that the cashier actually gets a chair.
@@Dangeru12 I heard they get a chair at Aldis
"Ma'am you good?"
"No"
Me working retail tbh.
Same. I got actual PTSD.
To be honest, I skipped ahead to the "scary" stuff in the middle of the video after hearing the register scanner bloop...
@@seanhennessy3968 Fuck. I’m literally so sorry your experience was that traumatic! I hope you’re doing better these days :/
@@NatLaS Thanks. I'm still worse for the experience, but improving. I'd advise people to seek help for this stuff even if it doesn't seem like something traumatic. If something feels wrong, it very likely is.
Me everyday only people are a lot more understanding and try not to be jackasses when they get their groceries.
The real horror here is she gave you 2 bags for 3 small items. The boss would lose it if they saw someone do that at my store.😆
I've been to stores where it feels like they put 2 items per bag, like they wanted to punish you for not using the self-checkout 😕
or they put 91 soda bottles in 2 bags
That was legitimately the most realistic part of the store in my experience though, I might need your boss to start training cashiers in my area. I've actually had countless bags with just a single medium-sized item in them over the years, its insane how many bags some of these people give you.
And no wonder why, that's like 2 whole cents wasted!
Don’t you just hate when you’re trying to eat tacos and an abomination shows up?
Bathroom
Thats why i dont eat in front of a mirror
dude i told you his name is hubert
@@vonvornnachhinten false information
I'm in your home. Give me the tacos.
I like how there are many tills available but only one cashier working, it shows the true nature and horror of real life supermarkets
I once worked as the only cashier from 8 to 5. I had lines of 20-30 people.
Is it really that baffling to understand the business concept of that?
@@saberalter1586 Terrifying
@@juliusweiss5447 Why only have one full service lane open when you can have that one person running twelve self-checkout lanes?
Dude, the last four times i went anywhere there wasn't even anyone at a till. I feel bad for the people working there :(
Alternative theory: The protagonist is actually the SCP that's causing it. Ghost stalking you is fond of you. Not so fond of experimenters.
I got scp vibes aswell
I'm even thinking we never "saw" the actual Grocery checkout girl- we only saw the ghost overlaid over her, and the our ghost waifu saw fit to free us.
This one guy was buying out the store's entire stock; it makes sense to go all horror-situation on them to make them leave for good, gotta prevent shortages!

"M'am you good?"
"No"
"Understandable, have a nice day"

"Buy a Taco. Horror stuff happens"
Buying a taco is horror in and of itself
Me who was in the toilet all day cause of a taco agrees with this comment 😨
It's not the immediate purchase that's the horror of it. It's what comes after consumption...
Relatable.
Me now realizing manly straight up entered the women's bathroom
This is definitely how shopping will be in the metaverse.
Betaverse no doubt.
Bought a taco before and can confirm bad stuff happens….. mostly in the stomach
Especially after you run to the bathroom in a hurry
OOOOO HAHA
That was some intense parking action.
This feels like a SCP and you're the D-Class being forced to go buy groceries every day until something inevitably kills you (guess the dude lucked out then)
i thought it was liek an scp and some guy breached containment and just buys some donuts
I thought you were the SCP yourself.
ah yes i as a human get my pre-made fast food in dusty shelves with no refrigeration in the middle of an empty supermarket
because, again, i am human
hello fellow human person, I too purchase these items once per day
single things for everyday like a regular human person. Its goodness for a healthy Squeedily Spooch!
A weird upload schedule for Manly is the perfect one for me. I love me a horror video at 7am before work.
I was just thinking oh boy 4 am perfect time for spoopy time with Manly lol
At my time zone (southeastern Canada) they upload around 1am and since my new neighbour’s noisy grown-ass sons are part night-bat and owl, they make lots of noise and the noise they make are sooooo loud it sounds like they’re literally right next to me (my parents and I spend many sleepless nights while my 8 year old brother slept peacefully throughout lmao) so I fancy myself some horror and if it so creepy I have to cover my screen and lower my volume, I just either find something less scary and listen it to sleep or just putting putting myself some ASMR or Squeakoids to sleep (ik me and my weird sleeping techniques :/)
@@Konata_TheRappa07 Who asked
@@screwhammer3696 pardon me for sinning by writing this comment
I think it could have benefited from some quiet mall music, which stops when the lights go out, rather than the silence, then foreboding music
Seeing the items travel down the belt feels oddly satisfying I don't understand why.
Thanks for the video Manly!
Moral of the story: Shop in the afternoon or head to Mcdonalds if you're hungry at night; they're 24 hours anyway
This makes me sad… my McDonald’s isn’t 24 hours nothing is. I’m fucked if I’m hungry past 11-12
I work at a 24 hour Mcdonalds and it’s surprisingly busy in the late hours.
I have a couple large 24-hour-open grocery stores near me. It's actually nice shopping at 3AM if you don't mind large weirdly empty spaces.

The only thing 24-hour around here is the gas station. Everything else closes at 8. Well, except Walmart. That closes at 10.
"well thankfully there's a donut on the floor..."

Manly Kun: *Post's a horror Game about Tacos*
Today: *Tuesday*
Me: *Coincidence? I think NOT!*
S tier reference
It's been Wednesday here for 7,5 hours, no taco Tuesday here :( but now I feel like making it tortilla Wednesday :D
@@illyria7756 UK?
I know I’ve heard it before, but I can’t remember where it’s from... Taco Tuesday
*laughs in wednesday *
The fact that manly slowly turned around after reading the note was funny you just know every time you read a note someone always there watching you lol
The cashier is allowed to sit down, so frankly this place doesn't seem all that bad.
Most important thing we learned from this: Manly is very polite and friendly to retail employees.
At this point Idk if Manly's title is just him saying fuck it, "I'm just gonna simplify it"
Or "Haha title go brrrrr!!"
How did that cashier manage to make three small items into 2 bags?
Magic lol
That’s called being a good worker 😎
Inventory
Pocket Dimension
the true horror is being satisfied with 1 (one) taco
I think this game is really good, but I wanted to see more of it. It has a lot of potential.

Right? It's like, let me enjoy my damn taco in peace! >:(
"Nice"
That's the best shot of serotonin for me when he says it idky but I need a compilation of him saying nice lmao
don't know why but the walking noise in this game is very satisfying and nice, or it's only me

when you realize it's a taco based horror game ON TUESDAY
15:21 shows the cashier is behind you in just a split second there.
11:40 the way he turn around slowly ahahahah i like it
This is the ultimate horror game.. Do you know how terrifying is to go to the super market and find that freaking gigantic line to the cashier, which is slower than a upside down turtle? It makes me cru just thinking about it..
"i assume that we only eat pizza. We're one of those people". As i sit here, watch the video, eating pizza
"So how was work today?"
"Eh, I ate a taco and shared a bench with an abomination...you?"
"Cool, I had a fight with a Karen"
"Thats rough buddy"
"Thank you..."
Describe Walmart: "It's where you go shopping at a super market but you feel that something is wrong... but more so than usual."
Ah man, sure hate when I'm grocery shopping and turns out I just walked in the eldritch horrors alley
The real horror was those prices; what economy is that place supposed to be simulating?
The near future of 2025 when inflation hits us like a bad case of dommy mommy.
In some places, the current one uggh.
Classic manly posting videos at 3 am
Ah, the server room is a great analogy for credit card companies data mining your spending habits.
This man reads my sleeping schedule!
Huh, didn't think anyone would still remember The Truman Show. Good on you Manly. 👏 I personally liked that movie as well as The Majestic.
i love how all these indie horror games are like "oh you're stuck in a market, scary right?" like retail isn't the real horror here
“You feel like something is wrong, more so than usual”
Me: *guess I’m dead!*
"And look how it's like, caged in"
I mean, in every game where you build a store or something ever I would spam fence lines around the outdoor areas like that
The actual horror aspect of the game is demonstrating the diet and lifestyle of the average college student
