Like yall really think confrontation like that works wtf.
14:20 - Miwako: Yeah my husband is doing some insane research in trying to revive our daughter that involves bringing in animal carcasses. This totally won't come to bite us in the ass in the near future, so just leave him be. I love my strange husband, lol. :) Shigeki: *goes deeper into madness and starts killing people* Miwako: *surprised pikachu face* --- You know if these people just, like, simply left without telling their Master that they're gonna call the police, they'd live long enough to actually _call the police._ --- Pretty neat little game, and I agree with a lot of Manly's points about Uri's writing and the comparison between her older and newer games. The Paranoiac remake is probably my favourite of Uri's games, followed by Mermaid Swamp and The Crooked Man.
Exactly, my problem with this game is that there's way too many holes in the story. For the story itself to work you gotta assume that everyone in that mansion had like 20 iq. I can understand things like loyalty and following your master until the bitter end for example, but since the butler made up his mind about turning the guy in, he could easily pretend like he's doing something like "sure master, i'll go check the windows/doors" then just get out of there and call the cops. Pretty much every bit of the story is setup in a way so that it only works if everyone is an idiot. Kinda like the bad ending where they couldn't leave the basement because they couldn't use the elevator. I'm pretty sure 6 people (and one of them was quite strong) could force open a shitty old elevator and just climb to the ground floor. But nope, let's lay down and starve to death. Imo this is the worst of all Uri's work, and I don't feel bad for saying that since Uri himself probably thinks the same.
They were deeply attached to him as a family member and their host, after all, so they wanted him to turn himself in, not send him to prison. That's kinda understandable in a weird way...
@@jigsawchan5364Actually I remember the Butler’s diary mentions defending the honor of the estate. He probably hoped it would all just disappear once the Doctor died (They were running low on food and water by the time the kids show up) but then the kids well, showed up.
Holy, both good ending were so amazing. The plot runs so deep and it's really sad to see the progression of a man being driven insane due to the immense grief of losing his daughter and wanting to bring her back. And feeling like everyone was against him whilst believing he was in the right the whole time brought me to feel sympathy. Truly a well made game.
i wish i could enjoy the plot as much as you. really want to feel the joy from reading good plot, but my mind keep finding fault over silly decision made by character in-game.
@@srtn1137 It makes sense to be looking at all the stupid things the characters do *cough* Kyouko *cough* since there are probably a ton of tiny plot holes and other things that weren't considered by the dev, at which point it's just a matter of being able to look over every tiny detail and just focus on the core plot 👌
Or taunt him calling him insane etc. Yes let's insult and threaten the unstable person...that will totally make him realize he's crazy and turn himself in I guess, lol.
@@ianbonadia2832 Again, that's why you don't say anything, go ahead with your plan to turn them in, instead of standing there and saying it to said person.
@@CraftyMaelyss I'm sure they chose to confront him like that because they wanted to grasp onto the 1% chance that somehow their master would come to his sense again. They were one big family, the employee counted as family members and they loved their jobs. Maybe it's just me, but it makes sense to me.
@@nkm910920 Still, you wouldn't confront someone in a crawled space where your back is a wall/window (this happened with two characters, in a row). In Mad Father, for instance, when the character confronts the insane one, she does it while she has the opportunity to run, which she ends up needing, because he goes insane and starts running towards her, so yeah.
I definitely agree with many of the commented assessments of this particular game and Uri’s overall compendium of titles as a writer and developer. Though I’m personally less familiar with Uri’s most recent works, I would say that The Crooked Man, Paranoiac, and Insanity all demonstrate interesting subversions of certain narrative elements that are categoric to the horror genre. Specifically, despite their introductions depicting rather archetype or classic horror scenarios, moments of greater emotional depth and humanization, predominantly centered around the primary antagonist and their respective motivations, eventually precipitate as the plot progresses. Within the short, decently-paced experience Insanity provided, I appreciated that Mr. Murai was not merely relegated to a simple, shadowy murderer who prays upon intruders indiscriminately without cause or reason outside of pure sadism or some nondescript “madness”. In Murai’s case, it was compelling to witness the degradation of his sanity as a result of his inability to accept his daughter’s death and the severe cognitive dissonance which rendered him dangerously obsessive and protective over his research to bring her back. I will assert, though, that there were some contrived inconsistencies in Murai’s awareness of his own actions and mental state, and the writing for his arc across the game’s various endings could have been further polished to more poignantly represent his confusion and desperation over the continued inefficacy of his work. Still, the plot and characterizations were generally quite solid for one of Uri’s more rudimentary games. Thank you as always for the wonderful narrations and interesting thoughts. The Avengers analogy was also particularly great, especially to a Winter Soldier fan like myself haha
Me playing the game : Maybe Yanase die because he try to stop him in secret? Yanase: IM GOING TO CALL THE POLICE AND YOU CANT STOP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
The whole situation of Emiko dying is very sad though i really wish. instead of killing people the dad just went to therapy and got help to help him cope with the loss of his only daughter. i really wish it was a way to save all the characters but not all stories have happy endings sadly. also why on earth did the servants just go and secretly tell the police? it could have prevented their deaths!
But I feel like the time background isn't in modern society, which is why they are not able to contact the outside, bcs they don't have phone. And I feel like in that time, if you go to therapy, they'll say that they are crazy and etc. Their stigma of therapy is still bad at that current time
@@Urza26 it is, but not as bad as back then. At least right now, we are made more aware of depression, bipolar, OCD, etc, but back then, they just don't care, they either said to suck it up, or that you are crazy.
1. When I finished this game, I wished the 2nd end would have been happier than the 1st one. 2. It's still frustrating that Keisuke & Yuuki didn't pick up the crowbar when they hid in the closet of some kind. 3. Manly you're awesome! Play games you enjoy and have a nice day!
I was kinda hoping that the special ending was something like the cure actually working but for a short time, so maybe the spirits of the dead would greet him and making him snap out of his insanity, making him realize that he really can't revive the dead. Then he would peacefully turn himself in knowing that he was forgiven. Just seeing the story from a different angle is cool but its was quite "meh".
@@ianbonadia2832 You got a point. The 2nd playthrough was mostly about Murai's past and him walking on the path to madness. Both endings are pretty much the same, I do feel bad to see him pass away like that. So to me, both endings are sad ends.
Uri's just so good at giving meaning and plot to classic RPG horror setups... Like, it all starts cliché-y but then the plot unravels and it becomes so mysterious and enjoyable...
It's definitely not a clever or outstanding story, but for what it was, it was told pretty well. The only thing I'm not sold on is Murai's rather sudden change of heart after Kyoko's hannibal lecture, but having them continue to persuade him for possibly hours would've been annoying. Other than that, the second run could've gone with different story markings, like the potion actually working on Yanase, or Murai killing Ryoji and Riho exacting revenge in turn, or something like that. The way it was done, the new scenes of the second run don't really add anything new to the story itself.
He's keeping a knife (or box cutter), for like, 24/7 all the time. And also I agree with you Manly. Why do they always announce that "If you don't stop this then I have no choice but to report to the police", and get to kill by him. I mean what do you expect from an insanity delusional guy?
_Tragic backstory_ I liked this game very much. I don't know if we needed all of Murai's line-by-line backstory in this second playthrough - only because the beginning was so well-written. You could see what he must have been feeling and thinking. It stands in stark contrast to some other modern rpgmaker games which barely have any plot other than the one the player makes up in their head to make sense of the overly cutesy-poo, ruffled, German/Latin non sequitur-laden mishmash they're playing. The other interesting part of this game was switching between the characters which gave you different scenes and clues to resolve the one chase scene. As much as I loved the story and puzzles of the Crooked Man, having to hit him _exactly_ 15 times with the crowbar was kind of un-fun. So actually, I would rank this up along with Mermaid Swamp and Paranoiac as my favorites of Uri's games. Great playthrough and thank you for showing us all endings, as always!
So the end of Insanity. I say it was a good remake. It looks much better than its original counterpart. The story was pretty good. An insane scientist chasing kids around. A tragedy.
Mermaid Swamp and Sandman will always be my favorite Uri games. I liked this one pretty well even though it definitely suffered from some holes in logic.
I agree with the fundamental analysis of Uri's games, but I actually like the newer ones more because they're a bit more fun, whereas the old ones are just a bit too sobering for me. I actually was terrified of The Crooked Man, not because its horror per se, but because it just hit so fucking hard when I played it, having had some pretty heavy suicidal thoughts of my own at the time.
This is because they all decided to confront Shigeki and let him continue his "research" instead of just going to the police. No need for confrontation.
the dead come back to live with bunch of organ missing and suffering for 10 whole minute screaming out of their lung despite missing half of their lung. blood enter through their lung and they spill blood through their mouth as they are confused to what happen before they return into cold limp corpse. [the rest of fcked up thing i could wrote but really not worth it, so let's skip these part] lesson of the story ? don't revive the dead.
@@daemonskycloak6818 I think their take on if the potion worked would be that yes, their 'soul' would come back but the body wouldn't be revived. So if someone was stabbed in the lung and was then revived before repairing that lung surgically they would just die again after a couple minutes of agony.
The way that the madman sees it, the potion should have regenerative properties as well, he mentioned: "Takahashi, might take a little longer to regrow her flesh." I think the potion is suppose to heal the body like a typical RPG game kind of potion and once the body is rejuvenated then the person comes back to life. You are all skipping steps on how to revive the dead. Emiko is just ash in a urn and if the potion is just meant to bring them back to life in their bodies current state then obviously it is never gonna work.
okay but for someone who is so malnourished and weak, how is he able to run about that, attack and knock out teenagers, and then _carry them to an underground lab_ like i understand a looney doesnt abide by human standards but forreal
Honestly, this game's whole story is really heartbreaking I gotta say... Like, I guess things/events similar to this game's plot might also happen in real life (tho, maybe not to this extent)...it's really sad n heartbreaking to see people experiencing this...
So the second playthrough doesn't change the story any but instead gives us more context and explains what Shigeki was doing throughout the game. Not a bad bonus for replaying the game, though I kind of prefer what Uri did for the second playthrough of the Hanged Man. Still, not fair to compare a remake of their first game against their most recent game. Overall, Insanity is pretty dang good for a first title. Kenta's still the best character for his faked death gambit, but the cast as a whole is fairly good. On your point of Uri's earlier works being better than the more recent ones, I can see the argument being made. I like the Strange Men series in its entirety, but the Crooked Man has always been my favorite and I've been continuously impressed by these remakes of Uri's older titles. There is a distinct difference in the two halves of their history.
But an alternate ending with the potion ‘working’ and either bringing Emiko back as a mindless husk or an angry zombie would be _amazing,_ you’ve got to admit.
I think this story is flawed or incomplete, he wasn't fed well and was knocked down easy so how did he carry and run in all those moments...it feels something is off....I guess it can be adrenaline during pursuit but moving bodies I couldn’t agree with.. It is increasingly odd that he has a box cutter, wouldn’t a scalpel make more sense to have on his person? Additionally the grandmother knew of the room yes and how she got there but would a old lady speak of it that clearly? It’s odd her being oblivious I guess... The Butler said he went shopping but I don’t think anywhere was full? Plus isn’t it more odd that they think no one lives there if he commutes.... Plus why isn’t he surprised about glasses not being dead? Oh right theirs proof it was working right? Considering how Emiko was ashes yet their was bones on the table and they were her bones...
Sooo all the second playthrough was is just a bunch of scenes explaining stuff we already knew? That's kinda disappointing. Like I think the only new plot detail is about Yanase firing Yuuki's grandmother instead of her quitting. Not to mention how infuriating these extra scenes are thanks to the other family members being absolute idiots and confessing their plans straight to the psychopath. I can look past the kids leaving Shigeki in the storage room when they go to rescue Ryouji, but DAMN a little deception goes a long way. The game was fine, but you can definitely tell it was Uri's first. That and I do agree with Manly about the later Uri games which are perfectly good games, but they do kinda miss the mark that their early games were so well known for.
I feel like without any supernatural context (I get where the dev is going with this game trying to make it realistic as possible but eh), it's just boring as hell from the player's perspective. Having no emotional connections to the mad scientist who lost his daughter probably doesn't help either. On top of that how idiotic and cliche everyone acted towards a man who was clearly unstable. This game isn't going to age well, lol.
And the madness growing inside me... manifested in the most terrible way. *insert random clip of choice* Crabrave "So guys we did it..." *A picture of the KFC Double Down* Ugandan Knuckles *Digging down in Minecraft*

Shigeki Murai’s profile: *shows Riho’s name*
This revival potion thing is just like SCP-012, the music sheet. You descend into madness trying to perfect something, BUT AT WHAT COST?!
I agree with you on Uri's writing. Was not a fan of Boogeyman and Sandman. The older titles are among my favs in these type of games
kind of wish there'd have been a bad end where that one girl just pretends to be Emiko from then on, that'd have been crazy fun lol

The fact that Manly compares later games to Avengers and titles one of the Boogie Man episodes as ‘I’m Batman!’ is pure comedy.
Plot twist is that his research actually brings back the dead but only for a second.
That one dislike is the one person who doesn't have a great reading voice or better yet they can't read at all.
Sooo all the second playthrough was is just a bunch of scenes explaining stuff we already knew? That's kinda disappointing. Like I think the only new plot detail is about Yanase firing Yuuki's grandmother instead of her quitting. Not to mention how infuriating these extra scenes are thanks to the other family members being absolute idiots and confessing their plans straight to the psychopath. I can look past the kids leaving Shigeki in the storage room when they go to rescue Ryouji, but DAMN a little deception goes a long way. The game was fine, but you can definitely tell it was Uri's first. That and I do agree with Manly about the later Uri games which are perfectly good games, but they do kinda miss the mark that their early games were so well known for.
He uploads, again.
More games like this please!
I had a thought while watching this. What is this was Bruce Wayne? like instead of using his money to fight crime he used it to bring back the dead.
Did you take down the crooked man videos, manly? They aren’t in the playlist
Glad I could be here early!
This game is pretty good, like the story as well. Uri did impressive so far, looking forward to more games:)
Kinda sad the game is already finished :c I hope there will be more great RPG horror games like this >
thank you manly, very cool
He's lost his mind. c: I feel bad for butler..
play "I Dream of dead stars" next :D
both good endings are just "good" endings but not necessarily happy ones i guess...
ok but why does ryouji look like a persona character
Good game this was.
Danm dude. This game is genuinely sad as shit.
Why did none of the teens think to bust out through the windows?
Nice video
Thanks.
I feel like without any supernatural context (I get where the dev is going with this game trying to make it realistic as possible but eh), it's just boring as hell from the player's perspective. Having no emotional connections to the mad scientist who lost his daughter probably doesn't help either. On top of that how idiotic and cliche everyone acted towards a man who was clearly unstable. This game isn't going to age well, lol.
Whoa!
And the madness growing inside me...
manifested in the most terrible way.
