The paragraph also discusses the 'Scary Anna' game, where the player cares for a scary-looking pet named Anna, feeding her, cleaning her, and playing games to increase her happiness.

Transcripts
horror has got to be one of the weirdest
genres for any Medium you're just going
to put yourself into a terrifying
situation where you feel like your life
is being threatened on purpose imagine
trying to explain that to one of your
Pilgrim ancestors they would be so
confused and honestly pissed off but
unfortunately most people don't live
their lives based on what they could or
couldn't explain to their Pilgrim
ancestors and thus horror is a very
popular genre if you just search scary
on the App Store you could literally
scroll for days through hundreds of
games that are all super popular but
what about the not so popular ones what
about the horror games that nobody is
playing the ones that are supposed to be
scary but aren't how would pilgrims feel
about those here's one of the first
games that I ever found in this Niche
it's called clown Brothers neighbor
escape and the little uh subtitle there
is time to Revenge game was developed by
the same people as billion surprise toys
let's together Revenge beat the new game
about clown neighbor brothers who want
to avenge their dead criminal clown
friend supports 10 languages okay
multilingual Kings I like it several
years ago you brought Justice to a scary
criminal clown neighbor and destroyed
his house I did wow good for me dude I
do not remember doing that but recently
you saw that the house was restored and
the clown Brothers settled in it you are
sure that they want to continue the work
of their colleague you must prevent this
so I guess I got their friend arrested
and destroyed his house that seems like
a little bit much like you know if he's
a criminal clown by all means call the
police but to destroy his house I don't
see any reason to do that we're facing a
housing crisis in this country there's
no need to make it worse I love that
they call the other clown their colag
what do they work at Microsoft together
very often you notice that these clowns
behave strangely yeah I think your first
clue to that would be the fact that they
dress like clowns they often say hello
strange watched you and laugh they're
just making fun of you they're bullying
you these clowns are up to no good I
know they're plotting something every
time they see me they point and laugh
and say hey you [ย __ย ] door I think I
have to blow up their house and then
here's some pictures from the game the
two clown Brothers do look very scary
couple things I'm noticing in this they
drive a very cool car they may have an
unorthodox fashion sense but I like
their car I love the fact that they're
proudly displaying an American flag in
front of their house they're like listen
we may have our differences we may be
two clowns from hell but I'll be damned
if this is isn't the greatest nation on
Earth okay so it looks like they're
making a bomb too so they're like clowns
and terrorists one interesting thing
about clown media whenever clowns are
portrayed as scary it's like the people
who made the media forgot what clowns
are like they think they were a
different species being a clown is just
a job it's not like something you
intrinsically are I feel like whoever
made this game thinks that clowns are
like a type of monster really all I'm
getting from the game is that the clowns
are often feet away from you and staring
directly at you seems like that's most
of what's going on here surprisingly
though even though this game only has 21
ratings it has a 4.4 on the App Store
based on the pictures I'm curious to see
how that's possible so I'm going to go
ahead and download this game okay next
game baby kids in Scary House 2 now when
I came across this game I was like oh
this looks funny but I shouldn't play
the sequel I should try to play the
original so I searched baby kids in
scary house and the first game that
comes up is baby kids in Scary House 2
and the original is nowhere to be found
now there is a very popular game called
the baby in yellow which I think this
game is a knockoff of and I'm almost
curious if this game is trying to
pretend to be the sequel to that game
actually if you look at the developers
page there is no scary baby kids in
house there's just two and three there's
baby girl in yellow house I guess we're
just starting on number two this chapter
2 contains two night stories during the
first night you'll have to manage a
horrific clown girl very professional
language in this one just like the last
one you will have to manage your scary
clown girl colleague she's not getting
her reports turned in on time you're
going to have to place her on
administrative leave until we get this
figured out exciting surprises are
waiting for you during the second night
you will have to manage two babies uh-oh
the clown girl and her terrific sister
what do they mean by that okay one girl
is scary but her sister is honestly
awesome we get along great and we are
both creeped out by her sister okay so I
think I know which one is the clown girl
and so by default this one on the on the
left must be the terrific sister a bat
are we going after these babies with a
bat look the clown girl may be scary but
that seems a little bit drastic okay it
looks like the baby is performing some
kind of Satanic ritual here the terrific
sister is floating down the stairs
that's fantastic being a new father I
feel like I could really get into this
game cuz my baby's not scary at all but
what if he was download this next one's
a little bit different ghost detector
radar camera Spirit Box and hunting tool
ask ghost question and they will answer
so this thing claims to be able to
detect ghosts in your home and then you
can talk to them find ghosts and
communicate with Spirits using this
app's groundbreaking ultra realistic
experience disclaimer since Paranormal
Activity can't scientifically be proven
we can't guarantee that the app
communicates with real spirits at the
end of the day we technically can't
guarantee that the ghost that we
deliberately programmed into the app are
really in your house but they probably
are it looks like people are having a
lot of fun with this game though lot of
the reviews are just really long stories
about how scary using this was is this
real question mark well I'm going to go
ahead and download it scary Anna your
unique scary virtual pet so I'm still
not exactly sure how this is supposed to
be a horror game you're taking care of
this pet whose name is Anna and she is a
little bit scary looking but a lot of it
just seems like she's having fun driving
a car around she's not a jet ski doesn't
seem that scary okay in this one she's
got creepy eyes she looks a little
possessed in this one and then in this
one she's is fighting a bunch of tiny
little cats little demon cats feed her a
variety of foods but be careful some
might be poisonous dare to discover what
happens how about you tell me which ones
are poisonous before I poison my [ย __ย ]
cat so you can grab drag and stick scary
Anna with your finger engage in playful
interactions and see how she responds to
your touch sounds like I might be the
scary one in this situation actually it
should be called scared Anna why is she
scary she's just a little bit weird
looking the poor thing there's no reason
to put her on blast in the game title I
don't know man this game is marketed
like a horror game but I just see an
animal who needs an owner you know she
just needs a little love I think it was
pretty [ย __ย ] up of them to call her
scary Anna if I'm being honest sure
she's a little ugly but you know some
animals are like ugly cute um she is not
she's just ugly but I don't think we
should have named her after her weird
looks I'm going to download this game
and I'm going to be there for her five
stars scary I don't like the way her
skin peeled off
okay I don't know if I'm going to like
this game before we get into these games
I want to thank Opera browser for
sponsoring this video I've been using
Opera browser for a while now and it has
really helped increase my productivity
while writing and planning videos it is
faster safer and smarter than default
browsers which means it has a ton of
features that make my process much
smoother like Opera's native in browser
AI called ARA which makes it really easy
to get answers and do some surface level
research really quickly and easily while
browsing you can highlight any word or
term that you're not familiar with and
ask Arya to briefly explain it or you
can just ask it questions like what are
some of the worst horror games on the
App Store the great thing about this is
not only does it give you some great
starting points but it also links to the
relevant Pages for each answer tab
islands are Opera's way of organizing
tabs by grouping similar tabs together
so you can save space and time this is
really helpful when I'm writing videos
cuz I can have multiple Google Docs open
multiple YouTube videos open they can
easily be grouped together so I don't
get overwhelmed because I I am easily
distracted they also have an ad blocker
and a VPN integrated into the browser
for free this browser is like a million
useful things bundled into one app it's
crazy also I just like the way it looks
it's got a cool style and I like the cut
of its jib in a world where it seems
like every browser wants to look like
the same boring app I appreciate that
Opera is different they've got cool
wallpaper some of them are even animated
how fun is that so if you want to check
out Opera it's totally free just use my
link in the description to download
Opera today thank you to Opera for
sponsoring this video thank you to you
guys for checking out Opera and now
let's game all right first game the
clown Brothers all right right off the
bat we have a for atomic war I think
they just said they're preparing for
atomic war the clown start to dish out
the lore right away in the title screen
one they're preparing for atomic war two
they are good neighbors and three they
are going to kill you we'll find you and
kill you at the start of every level the
game gives you an objective we've all
seen these types of games before the
whole game is just a series of boring
objectives like find the key and unlock
the door but what's really special about
this game is it only gives you like 1
second to read the objective back in
town you find out that the friends of
the oh okay so I've spawned into this
neighborhood street I see my clown
neighbor walking around so that must be
the Clown's house now I got to give
these clowns props because not only is
their car cool as hell they also live in
a huge mansion right away dude they live
in a freaking Mansion oh my god there
must be a ton of money in making nuclear
bombs and killing your neighbors what do
these clowns do for a living turns out
they're like lawyers and doctors they
actually are like really making the
world a better place and speak of the
devil Here Comes one now
oh okay I thought he was going to kill
me he just came up and stood like this I
mean pretty scary thing for your
neighbor to do but for your Russian spy
terrorist clown neighbor All Things
Considered not that bad every time you
die in this game of course you get an
annoying ad but I recently learned a
cool little trick if you turn off Wi-Fi
and use airplane mode the ads can't load
which makes this game way less annoying
I'm still getting an ad but it's for
nothing and this worked for a while but
eventually I did somehow get an ad again
how did this ad load I have Wi-Fi and
airplane mode turned off how did I get
an ad are some ads just baked into the
game mysterious indeed what are these
clowns hiding and what does it have to
do with Chicago's best party tents okay
can I read this this time back in town
you find out that oh [ย __ย ] eventually I
figured out the first mission was to
find a Green Key and a gray key and
unlock a special room the problem being
this house is [ย __ย ] gigantic and no
offense to these clowns in their
interior decorating prowess but every
room looks exactly the same so I spent
like a half an hour walking from room to
room not sure where I was which rooms I
had already explored I might have been
walking back and forth between the same
two rooms for like 15 minutes to be
honest I got you young man I got to be
honest dude I'm not an evil clown but if
I caught my neighbor walking around in
my house even my reaction would be more
extreme than theirs I feel like they're
honestly letting me off the hook pretty
easy you know it would be easier to
avoid them if they could just stay in
one room of their house like normal
people I guess this is just what makes
them so [ย __ย ] up in the head they don't
just hang out in one room they're
constantly Milling about you know you're
not going to finish your bomb if you
never stay in one room for more than 3
seconds I decided to take a brief break
from the clowns to explore what I
assumed to be my own home and I was
pretty confused with what I found is
this my house it's a very open floor
concept I've got going on
here bear trap on the table I feel like
I've got my own demons to work on before
I go try to bring these clowns to
Justice I'm living in a gigantic room
made of sheet metal and I've got a bear
trap on my desk what I didn't know then
is those bear traps are actually one of
the only semi-interesting parts of this
game cuz it turns out you can actually
pick them up and trap the Clowns with
them oh he's
trapped I got oh oh waa what happen it
disappeared somehow this steel trap that
is meant to name 500 lb Bears does not
Kill the Clowns it's just a minor
inconvenience at most these clowns are
honestly super Zen nothing gets to these
guys how does that happen what did he do
to the bear trap it's worse than I
thought these clowns [ย __ย ] eat metal
oh and here he is I finally finished the
first level after what felt like an
etern let's go mission complete and I'm
back outside for some reason even though
I was just in the security room I had to
go out for a breather take a quick smoke
break and then it's back into the
Clown's house the next mission find a
book and in order to do that you have to
find a gray and green key oh my God all
right scary clown neighbors would I say
that it was
scary not really just frustrating and
boring next game scary baby in kids H
scary kids creepy baby house 2o for 99
cents in this game I can get rid of the
ads do I really want to do that this
game that I'm going to play for like 30
minutes max is that worth
9s I'm already doing it the beginning of
the game starts off pretty normal just
doing some normal babysitting activities
so here's the baby the the clown baby
hello I will be back home after I finish
my work so not only are we dealing with
a clown baby we're dealing with robo mom
