So I did not expect to me making this video, but sometimes the world works in mysterious ways.

With the metahorror focus its monster establishes, I feel like Giggleland missed an opportunity to incorporate the out-of-bounds areas for fun scares for people who get out
4:54 Is that Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers?
Backseat! Cats don't like water 😂😂😂
19:32 Anyone remember the Death 13 episode of Jojo? Cuz thats the vibe this is giving right now and I am horrified.
Are you sure YOU arent the freddy of this one, backseat?
I need more mascot horrors that actually are scary. Too many of them start with something friendly looking but never lean into the scary aspect enough
It’s unfortunate that this game didn’t live up to the hype. From what I understand, the devs aren’t greedy or anything, just very… not understanding what exactly they’re doing, so I just hope they can learn from the criticism and make a better game in the future.
Now play spongebob squarepants battle for bikini bottom rehydrated, it's broken
I know nothing about Giggleland so I am truly prepared for this monumental playthrough that won’t have any brokenness, glitchyness, or sequence breaking of any kind. To show me the games true story and intended horror experience as expected from Backseat Streams. Pressing play in three, two, one…
OH GOD A BUG AHHHHHH
Ignoring this obvious satire, I genuinely can’t wait to see how broken of a mess this game is.
Decimite drive kevin my beloved❤
10:00 – oh… they forgot to add the gravity velocity cap, so your fall speed is exponential 😭✌️
Bit of a shame how visible the potential is on this one, because those are some VERY elegant fourth wall breaks it pulls around the blackout. Clearly they had an idea and a vision, and at least SOME of the know how to do it. The problem is that in every other way, its a subpar mascot horror game, with clear signs of being made by people who don't know what they're doing.
Makes me think this might have been a scale issue somewhere, because they seem to have a really great grasp on how to effectively do the meta/4th wall stuff, and the art and voice acting is also really solid, but the actual game design part maybe not so much. Sometimes, you benefit from keeping projects smaller scale so you can get them more polished: the original imscared had a PROFOUND impact on me when I first played it and is still probably one of the most effective horror games I've ever seen, and that was a short, free game that was all chunky pixels and low poly, and the main threat was a 2d sprite with no animation that floated around in 3d space.
This game was a disappointment for quite a few people, because yes its like Poppy but the original demo made the full game seem more promising then a poppy clone with an arg and underused meta elements , i think the mixed element comes from people who liked the arg and can overlook the big flaws of the actual game
i need to see someone get to the desktop horror part and just say, out loud, in a completely monotone voice
"i'm on linux"
You know, if you told me to imagine a Mascot Horror game aimed at an adult audience, I don't think I'd come up with "Indigo Park but with swears and blood and some cool meta tricks". That's for teenagers at best. Maybe some tweens if we promise not to tell their parents.
The official account’s comment is getting buried 😭
Does anyone know how they made a secret message? Really curious about it
What peak glitches
Dude chill with the uploads im still trying to find time to finish the last video 😭😭
some definitely cool ideas, but i think maybe we need to remember that this could be improved on, so i dont want to just call it abysmal dogshit or anything.
also viewer engagement
I honestly agree with the take that this game is ok and I’ve been saying that a lot of the mechanics are unoriginal and can be traced back to other games in the space first. One of the other major issues with it is that the devs went radio silent for so long that everyone forgot about it or assumed it was cancelled. They lost all of the hype years ago and then nearly tried to shadow drop the game. I think the only reason they didn’t shadow drop the game is because they realized how much momentum they lost. One of the other things I’ve been saying is even with the ARG. I feel like it heavily struggles to connect the story together and make it a complete narrative. One of my biggest grips currently is that a lot of the things the colt were supposed to be following. A lot of people seem to be connecting it back to ancient Aztec once again it’s been a very long time since I’ve looked at the ARG so I’m not 100% on this, but I’m pretty sure that the court is following like Aztec sacrificing rituals and stuff. I personally think it’s an extremely big missed opportunity for representation that there’s no Aztec imagery anywhere in this game. It makes that plot point feel pointless and if they didn’t wanna stick with it being ancient Aztec, they should’ve followed their own thing what created religious imagery, and symbols. All colts have some sort of imagery or symbol that belongs to them and what they follow. I haven’t seen any of that in this game for said cult and I think that kind of sucks. It also makes it way harder to even understand this was a cult. It’s overall an ok game but nothing special like they are trying to make it seem like it is.
the evil dad looks like a disney junior version of michael meyers
10:06 Yeah, that's exactly what this is! This phenomenon is generally called 'floating point precision errors', and if you want a technical breakdown of why this occurs then there's a video by UncommentatedPannen simply titled 'Floats' that explains the floating point format through the lens of Super Mario 64. I think how that manifests here are the vertices of the 3d model get snapped to the nearest floating point number, which causes that weird banding effect
I don’t know about everyone else but I’m really loving the slightly longer style videos recently with less editing like lifeline and voices of the void. This video gives me the same sort of feeling and its great
The reason this game is scary for adults is it makes you think your hardware is failing, and that price tag is scarier than any game.
10:06 don’t worry it’s part of the experience
A backseat stream upload day, is a good day
oh no….
Realopposite
wich Game are you gonna brea- uh play next
They should have made this a secret ending 9:23
Looks like they tried to build it as a free roam game but ran into issues and instead of trying to fix them, they just stripped access to free roam out
99% of mascot horror games quit before becoming the next Bendy and the ink machine
I’m so brain rotted I kept thinking “Rory Nite”
Why does this game have Mixed reviews when Poppy has Positive? Easy: the kids got WAY to scared so they downvoted this horrifying game.
The ending of chapter 6 does have a cool visual story that gives you some context to the characters backstory.
"Mascot horror game not made for children" and its the goofiest thing ever. Giggleland literally used to be much scarier, talking about wearing peoples skin and stuff but now its just childsplay
16:15 Mr. T? The guy who pities fools? A child could never
The backrooms: 2:08
Ok so its about kevin… I found my own one in a mod for Patapon. not gonna say anything else.
11:00 — I think Rory's title there should say "Honorary Freddy" instead of "Confirmed Freddy". By your own definition, a Freddy must be the source of the glitches, and an honorary title is not the same as the title itself.
they keepet saying not for kids like that one time tinybuild keepet bugging matpat
3 years of development just to be broken in 7 days
10:14 this is the null zone
Giggity Giggle
ngl this game seems pretty great (minus the tech issues obv)
I was disappointed that the marketing was where not like other mascot horror than proceeds to have another story of company is le evil and kills kids turning them into mascots like not even bothered by the concepy that much more so of the fact it feels like they try and make it a plot twist that its happening when its more of a plot twist now if there is no dead kids
as a superfan of the arg, this hurts a bit. as a viewer, i got chills seeing that thumbnail. my favourite may be massacred, but its last rite are done by a well known professional
(btw im being hyperbolic)
15:34 fym im not safe either
10:02 that one Mario odyssey glitch be like
