Hello everyone and welcome to another
0:03
episode of Not Now Mom. I'm gaming.
0:23
My name is Kay and on this episode we'll
0:26
be talking about the game what if your
0:28
girl was a frog which is a fascinating
0:30
question to ask someone. I honestly
0:33
don't know what I'd think if that were
0:34
the case. Maybe you'd just have to kiss
0:36
her and see if she'd change back. You
0:39
were even into kissing a frog. That is
0:41
There is a hidden object game I play
0:43
that revolves around a guy being turned
0:45
into a frog and a witch trying to smooch
0:47
him if I remember correctly. And also,
0:50
this isn't even the weirdest thing a
0:52
girl could be. Cookuro is a game where
0:55
the girl is a grasshopper.
0:57
Pick your poison. Frog or grasshopper?
1:00
Maybe frog for me, but I'd rather have
1:02
either options.
1:04
Anyway, this game is from the devs Honey
1:07
Bunny, who also created a game we've
1:09
already reviewed called Date with Fox
1:12
Girl. In fact, they made a lot of games
1:14
like these ones, so prepare yourself for
1:17
even more in the future. I know they're
1:21
not that bad, but a lot of them don't
1:24
really go beyond the mostly positive
1:26
rating. Though, this one actually has a
1:28
very positive rating. I'm going to base
1:31
this rating on one specific thing, and
1:33
that's the fact that it doesn't actually
1:34
have a written story line, meaning no
1:37
crappy text to read through.
1:40
That's just my thoughts on the matter,
1:41
though. The blurb for What If Your Girl
1:44
was a frog states this. There was a
1:46
frog. She was cheerfully croaking on her
1:49
lake. However, she was not a simple
1:51
frog, but magic. And so, she got a
1:54
lonely boy. She used her magic and
1:57
started her adventures.
1:59
I'm not really sure what it means by got
2:01
a lonely boy, but a kidnapping is
2:03
frowned upon.
2:05
Before we start with the review, we're
2:06
going to do the thing. Let the opening
2:09
scene play out before us like every
2:11
other game by this dev does. It won't
2:14
explain the story at all, but you'll get
2:16
some of the images before you actually
2:17
piece them together, which is actually a
2:20
poor choice on their part because now
2:22
you know what some of the scenes are
2:23
going to be without playing the game.
2:26
Oh well.
2:41
[Music]
3:01
That guy looked a little scary during
3:02
that preview, right? It's not just me.
3:05
Technically, there's no title screen you
3:07
land on when you're allowed to interact
3:09
with the game, even though the title
3:11
came up right before this part. And so,
3:13
I technically dock a star just for that.
3:16
I feel like unless the game is wellknown
3:18
and iconic, such as with Final Fantasy 7
3:21
remake not having its title, but rather
3:24
the Buster Sword, you need a title for
3:26
people to remember, even if it's just
3:28
going back to the start of the game.
3:31
Instead, we have a popup where you can
3:33
full screen or not, adjust the volume
3:36
and adjust music. Honestly, I don't
3:39
really get either of these, and there's
3:41
nothing to tell you what means what, so
3:44
you'll have to figure it out on your
3:45
own. Very positive reviews, remember? At
3:49
least it's got a cute pixel frog sitting
3:51
on top of the pop-up window.
3:54
When you're done with that, the main
3:55
screen will have strips of images of
3:57
what you'll be piecing together when
3:59
you're on that puzzle screen.
4:01
Note that there's only five scenes
4:03
you're able to do in the base game.
4:05
Further to the right, where the frog is,
4:08
is where the DLC puzzles begin, and
4:10
we're not going to talk about those for
4:12
YouTube purposes.
4:14
If you go into the gallery at the start,
4:16
you can see a more transparent view of
4:17
the images you'll be seeing, but the
4:19
only one that's unlocked is the first,
4:22
which isn't actually a puzzle at all,
4:24
but the opening scene, so you kind of
4:26
understand the story line of what's
4:27
going on. Also, I'm pretty sure all of
4:30
Honey Bunny games do this, but there's a
4:32
transition that comes along when going
4:34
from one part of the game to another,
4:36
like the main screens of the gallery and
4:38
back again. But it's two slats that come
4:41
from the top and bottom and meet up in
4:43
the middle to create an image of a frog
4:44
with a strawberry on its head. And the
4:47
part that separates these two halves is
4:49
the frog's mouth, which I think is cool.
4:51
When it parts, the mouth opens.
4:54
If you're wondering about the
4:55
strawberry, it's because the guy in the
4:57
game sleeps in a bed with a cover that
4:59
has strawberries all over it. When we
5:01
start the game, we get the introduction
5:03
scene that sets up the puzzles, sort of.
5:06
There's no words and no text, so you
5:08
just have to watch it play out. And for
5:10
anyone just listening and not watching,
5:12
I'll do a little explanation.
5:15
A frog is sleeping. A lone man is
5:17
walking in the rain. The frog, using a
5:19
leaf as an umbrella, watches him.
5:25
He's sitting in the rain looking bored.
5:30
The frog is sadly curious about him.
5:38
Gets an amazing idea and jumps into his
5:40
backpack.
5:46
The man enters their home, takes off his
5:48
shoes.
5:55
The frog hops out of the backpack while
5:57
he's distracted.
6:06
The man falls asleep in bed.
6:10
The frog wonders why he's sleeping and
6:12
gets another amazing idea.
6:20
It becomes a wizard and cast a spell on
6:22
itself to turn into a girl.
6:28
And here's the first scene you're going
6:29
to puzzle together. A girl in a frog
6:32
onesie standing in this guy's bedroom
6:34
while he's asleep. I was actually afraid
6:36
this is going to be one of those puzzles
6:38
where you had to flip pieces of the one
6:40
beside it, but that's not the case. You
6:42
can just move one piece to wherever you
6:44
want it to go. And these puzzle pieces
6:47
are hexagonal just to make them a bit
6:49
different from all the other puzzle
6:50
games out there. You'll notice that the
6:52
background has movement to it, but it's
6:54
not so difficult in this scene to piece
6:56
it together or really in any of the
6:59
upcoming scenes for the base game
7:00
either. So, I probably won't comment on
7:03
them as they come up. Just know they're
7:05
at the start to every scene. The guy in
7:08
this one isn't so bad. Though, you can
7:10
still see the lackluster quality of him
7:12
since her main focus is on the female
7:14
frog girl. And she's not even a frog.
7:18
She's just wearing a frog suit. So,
7:20
technically, we still don't know what it
7:22
would be like if her girl was a frog
7:25
because by the looks of her, I'm pretty
7:26
sure if you take that onie off, she's
7:28
all human. And this is proven from the
7:30
DLC scenes.
7:32
So, the title of the game doesn't make
7:34
all that much sense.
7:36
As far as the scene here goes, I don't
7:38
know if she made it happen or this guy
7:40
likes both strawberries and frogs, but
7:43
on the computer screen, there's a frog
7:44
hopping up and down. The girl herself
7:47
looks a little shocked that her magic
7:49
worked and turning her into a human. And
7:51
the guy, this poor guy is sleeping
7:54
soundly, hugging one of his pillows
7:56
underneath strawberry sheets. He's in
7:58
for a surprise. I mean, like really,
8:01
he's in for a surprise and maybe a heart
8:03
attack because in the next puzzle scene,
8:05
she's sitting on top of him and kind of
8:07
petting his hair like she's fascinated
8:09
by it. He's got that wideeyed, freaked
8:11
out look, and for good reason. He
8:14
probably doesn't have a roommate. And
8:15
now suddenly, he does. The next scene is
8:18
a little sad and laughable because all
8:20
we have is our frogsy lady sitting on
8:22
her heels on the bed making a peace sign
8:25
with no man in sight. He booked it. He
8:28
ampsrayed as fast as he could and she
8:31
doesn't even realize and raised a peace
8:33
sign as he pieced out.
8:36
Also, further proof that she's not a
8:37
frog is she's sticking her human tongue
8:39
out of her mouth while also making
8:41
cooing sounds like a baby and clicking
8:44
her tongue.
8:46
But it's the cooing that causes me a bit
8:48
of distress.
8:57
The following scene is a bit more
8:59
disconcerting. She's licking the window
9:01
because there's a monarch butterfly on
9:02
the outside of it. Like, okay, she's
9:06
trying to act like she's more frog than
9:07
human by wanting to eat the butterfly,
9:10
but I still don't buy it, and you
9:12
shouldn't either. At least she's drawn a
9:14
little hard in the moisture of the
9:15
window, but I don't recommend anyone
9:17
ever lick a window,
9:19
especially if you live somewhere close
9:21
to the street where anyone can see you
9:22
doing it.
9:23
Moving forward, she's now in the shower,
9:26
still in her onesie, but trying to
9:27
squeeze the water out of her outfit
9:30
while still getting soaked with water.
9:33
She has been in the rain before, right?
9:36
I'm starting to question her sanity at
9:38
this point. It was eyebrow raising while
9:41
she licked the window, but now I feel
9:43
this is a confirmation that there might
9:44
be something not quite right up there.
9:47
Also, why on earth is there a Game Boy
9:49
Advance sitting on the sink? Don't bring
9:51
that in the water with you, you fool. I
9:54
do wonder what game they are playing.
9:57
It's a mystery we'll never figure out
9:58
because this is the end of all the
10:00
scenes for the base game. The rest of
10:03
the scenes are represented by
10:05
downloading the not safer work DLC and
10:08
we'll continue that in the patron
10:10
section.
10:12
And that's the end of it. I won't say
10:14
it's a horrible game. The art's okay and
10:17
became honestly a bit better in the DLC
10:20
portion, but maybe because that's where
10:22
they would want to focus with a game
10:23
like this. The base game was just to
10:26
prove something of a story line, despite
10:29
the fact that even that could have been
10:30
better given the title of the game and
10:32
lack of an actual frog girl.
10:36
Plus, the dude ran off after the second
10:38
scene of the base game and suddenly
10:40
returns in the second scene of the DLC.
10:43
Was it just because he liked what he saw
10:45
in the first scene and figured hell with
10:46
it? How often is he going to come across
10:49
a girl like this? My guy just needs to
10:52
play some coconuro.
10:54
He'd get a better looking grasshopper
10:55
girl. Just don't reject her. If you
10:59
know, you know.
11:01
But I've blathered on long enough and
11:03
I'm curious to know your all's thoughts
11:05
on the frog girl. Would you mind her
11:07
showing up out of nowhere while you're
11:09
snoozing or is that a hard no? Smash or
11:12
pass?
11:14
Whatever your answer is, make sure mom
11:16
doesn't see it. And before she takes a
11:18
look at your answer, quickly hide the
11:21
screen with your body and say, "Not now,
11:23
Mom. I'm gaming.
