Hello everyone. My name is K,
0:03
and this is a pros and cons for the demo
0:05
of the game, The Monkey's Paw. Oh, not
0:08
now, mom. I'm gaming.
0:11
This was on Steam Next Fest and I
0:14
remember reading the story long, long
0:17
but I can't remember what it's about
0:20
except a monkey paw, obviously.
0:24
I know it's like it's something bad that
0:27
happens with the Monkey's Paw, but
0:30
I just I can't remember
0:32
what else about it cuz it's been so
0:34
long. First things first, we can pet the
0:37
cat, which you know is just a necessity
0:41
when there is a cat in the game.
0:43
Who's the bestest boy? You are, Momo.
0:47
Yes you are. Yes you are. My god, it's
0:49
like how everybody talks to their pets
0:52
even when they're kind of not the
0:55
This is one of those games where you
0:57
have to hover over items in order to
0:59
find out where to click.
1:01
And if you hover over an item that you
1:03
can check out, there will be a different
1:06
look to the cursor. Do they're going to
1:09
be like a hand or an eye or something
1:11
like that, an arrow maybe?
1:13
Well, not an arrow, but a hand pointing
1:17
I assume the hand in question would be
1:20
a look alike to the Monkey's Paw, not an
1:22
actual person's hand. It looks like this
1:26
Sully XL stole our girlfriend from us,
1:30
which can you really say that someone
1:32
stole your girlfriend if if it's her
1:35
wish to go to them? They didn't
1:37
technically steal them, but you know.
1:41
Apparently this rocker is using AI for
1:44
his music, so we already hate Sully,
1:47
right? Even even in video games, people
1:50
are suffering. I love the artwork on
1:55
it's a horror game and the graphics kind
2:02
Even if you didn' know when buying the
2:04
game and going into it, they're not like
2:08
cute graphics or anything like that.
2:09
Hallways are dark, environments are
2:13
flickering lights, [snorts] red means
2:15
danger. You got this guy with red eyes.
2:18
Maybe the screen is reflecting off of
2:21
his eyes or something.
2:23
Otherwise he kind of looks like a
2:24
vampire. I don't think he's a vampire.
2:27
We have a creepy neighbor who is just
2:29
kind of peeking out of her door.
2:31
You can't get much more creepier than
2:33
that, especially if you make eye contact
2:35
and they still don't close the door. I
2:37
think that's even worse. So we have to
2:39
go into lower shop because we are short
2:46
well, the apartment owner, I guess.
2:50
I don't know who it is you give your
2:54
I still live at home. I know you're
2:56
tenants, but landlord.
3:00
I think that's it, right? Oh my gosh.
3:02
Yeah, we don't have enough money to pay
3:05
So we need to kind of bargain here. And
3:12
which she's allowing us to have
3:16
Apparently she doesn't like the fact
3:21
And we don't really want it,
3:24
but we can probably do something with
3:25
it. And with the monkey's paw comes
3:30
Hold the monkey's paw and make a wish.
3:32
What you wish may not be undone. A
3:34
peasant sleeps better than a king.
3:37
Harm may not come to animals. That's a
3:39
plus. Thank god they wrote that clause
3:42
in. So Bodo wants us to make a wish and
3:47
A little bit later the cupboard above
3:50
Bodo falls down and enters his
3:56
which this is in lieu of the wish that
3:59
So our landlord says forget about the
4:03
and it was his apartment and he should
4:06
the uh cupboard cuz he knew it was loose
4:08
or something like that. And Bodo says
4:10
the monkey's paw worked. I don't think
4:16
We wished for $200, right? We never got
4:21
We just managed to get out of paying the
4:24
$200, which wasn't what we wished for.
4:29
So that's that's a little weird.
4:32
It's almost like the monkey's paw knew
4:34
why we wanted the 200.
4:37
But I don't I don't know if it actually
4:39
works like that. It's supposed to work
4:41
like that. I thought if you made a wish
4:43
on it, I wish for $200, somehow you're
4:46
going to get those $200.
4:49
And I I don't think we did. But Bodo
4:52
says we got the 200. Maybe I missed
4:53
something. Maybe I missed something
4:55
during the playthrough.
4:59
choices for a next wish. Two of them we
5:01
can't do cuz this is a demo.
5:04
The first one, I could wish for Julia to
5:06
fall back in love with me.
5:11
I don't know if like everything's kind
5:13
of open to whatever you want to wish for
5:18
Thinking back to genies and stuff like
5:19
that and certain other things that can
5:21
grant wishes, you can't mess with
5:24
someone's I don't know like maybe not
5:26
emotional status, but you can't make
5:28
them fall in love or anything like that.
5:30
And we do go for that option, but it's
5:33
not something that we're able to do.
5:36
And so we say I wish to be bigger than
5:38
Sully XL, 10 times bigger, which is just
5:41
the stupidest thing to wish for.
5:44
10 times bigger than someone, you have
5:48
that it's not going to make you famous.
5:51
Even if you wish to be more famous and
5:53
Sully XL 10 times more famous,
5:56
there's something horrible could happen
5:57
and that's why you're famous. But to be
6:00
10 times bigger than someone,
6:02
the end result is going to be obvious,
6:06
But that's where the game ends here, and
6:12
it makes me wonder if we're going to
6:13
play as this character throughout the
6:18
keep dealing with the wishes
6:20
and the things that come with the wishes
6:23
or if we're going to pass the monkey's
6:24
paw down to other different people cuz
6:27
like I said, I don't remember the story.
6:29
Obviously, this can stretch the story
6:31
into something else, but
6:34
I really like this game so far. I love
6:38
visual novel horror, mainly cuz I'm not
6:41
in a survival moment. I don't have to
6:42
run. I don't have to hide or anything
6:45
So it's right at my alley.
