Anyone else feels like the 2020s saw a strange burst of mascot horror games that then just kind of... disappeared?
What was up with that?
We had Amanda the Adventurer, Shipwrecked 64, FNAF Security Breach, Poppy Playtime, Dandy's World, KinitoPET, Garten of Banban, even Mouthwashing in a way.

Why was that?

The Millennial went back into the womb of Pokemon and Nintendo to cope with the horror of 9/11 and the Millennium.

COVID was pretty much 9/11 2, so the next big thing to recreate was Mario 64.

Basically, the Jews want the Millennial generation in a state of Arrested Development because they were sacrificed to Moloch.

I watched a bunch of this guy's videos because he kept playing those ps1 looking horror games. I liked that he didn't try to turn everything into a friend simulator with jokes and personal stories like a lot of other channels. Has he done any good games lately?

Happens every decade, OP.
Not exactly a new concept.

He literally started playing those like over a decade ago, weird anime vn shit and joke games were always a staple of his channel from the start.
>>
>>730572135
Those are all just sequels though, everything gets milked forever that's nothing new.
I'm talking about new games.
>>
>>730572663
these arent joke games though these are straight up games made for women about muscular men kidnapping and raping them lmao
>>
>>730572743
But where are the games made for men where muscular women kidnap and rape them?
>>
>>730572743
That's the joke, they're funny.
>>
>>730572798
there was one VN where you pick your yandere and one has a woman kidnaps you in a office and has you kill her husband but it was also packaged with 3 muscular bara men who rape you which was weird they would only include one female option

>>730572419
not really, but I enjoyed his Feed the Pig video (3 weeks ago) simply because of how silly it was

Mascot's horror was a 2010's thing and most of what you listed appeared at the tail end of it all as cash grabs.
>Slender and Creepypastas in general
>SCP
>FNAF and it's various clones
All existed solely on their recognizable characters. As the 2010's dragged on the barrier for entry into independent development dropped lower and lower and more opportunistic money grabbers (women, faggots, jews, etc.) saw dollar signs and tried to take a piece of a pie that was already getting pretty thin. Now we're here. Same pattern that always plays out, it happened before with "Lovecraftian" media, Slasher flicks, Monster of the week B-Movies, etc. - and it's been actively happening again with Analog and Digital horror as a whole. Many of these games and properties will only be remembered years later by people who watched other people play them when they were in Elementary School - and some of them may be kept alive solely by pornographers. It's bleak.

Why can't they just make the mascot horror characters look like the characters instead of being some piss soaked nightmare version, no one finds them scary anyways and I'd much rather be chased by a horny skunk girl than the milk soaked plush version
>>
>>730570738
It started because of Five Nights at Freddy's making crazy bank, then the other ones wanted that cash. It stopped like all trends because of over-saturation and lessers dragging down the reputation of them as a whole.
>>
>>730570738
Are any of these actually worth playing unironically?
Anyone know?
>>
>>730575364
No, this genre's business model is similar to the toy toons of the 80s. Kids watch lets players and streamers play them so they want to buy merch.
>>
>>730575615
Not all of them.

>>730575364
Shipwrecked 64, kinitopet and mouthwashing are all pretty good, they're worth at least checking out.
