The Family Trip (gone wrong)Added:
Welcome back for the first time to the family trip. Now, this is a horror game where you play as a 13-year-old boy that goes on a trip to his parents' house deep in the woods. And according to the game description, the trip doesn't go as planned. Probably got stopped by immigration or something. Um, no, just my kind of trips. Okay. All right. Let me check the options. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Okay. So, this is going to be one of those games that has a microphone. Okay.
Uh, we're probably going to hide in a closet from a killer or something. I can tell what's going to happen just based on this testing. Testing. Okay, that's pretty good. Player sensitivity. Oh, I'm so sensitive. Wait, why is that a slight Okay, here we go. New game.
Okay, why did it get all ominous and [ __ ] We got red fog like what? Like El Diablo is going to come out of the woods or something? I'm actually excited.
Oh no, this feels like an intervention.
Do you have everything you need, honey?
Oh. Uh, yeah, I think so. Hey, come on, champ. It's going to be fun.
You don't sound very convinced.
I'm just not used to trips like this.
That's kind of the point. We've all been a little distant lately. Distant? How? I just I We're standing right here with each other. Busy, tired, always doing our own thing, scrolling Tik Tok on our phones, checking Reddit, checking Twitter. This trip is for us to be together again. I guess you're right.
Let's take the boxes to the car now.
Damn, they whipped it around so fast.
Oh, that's a whole I thought it was like at a Okay, you know what? Can we get someone to do the grass to mow the lawn?
Like, maybe I should start doing chores around the house. God damn, I'm 13 and my my man, my dad would never my dad would never have let our loan look like that. Be like that's that's I'd be out there every weekend reluctantly, but I'd be out there. Whoa.
Good job. Let's go to the car. [ __ ] We're here. Let's do it.
Okay. Are we just going to drive with the back door? All right. I just got an achievement for putting the boxes in the car and enjoying a trip. Wow, that is such a big achievement. I need to I need to like have get recognition for putting boxes in the back.
Dad, can we stop? I need to use the bathroom. All right, hold on a bit.
There's a gas station nearby.
Man, you know we'd be pulling over at the side of the road just to take a piss like on the side like over on but like the nearest tree. Ain't waiting till no gas station, man.
Got to take you got to take a dump. Um there's some leaves you could use as toilet paper. Just don't get the ones that are like rough.
Yeah, this is nice music. I hope it's not copyrighted. Yo, can we get some like good tunes in here? Ollie, put like put like some uh put some like bumping music or something.
You didn't do anything, did you?
>> Nope.
>> God damn it. What do I pay you for, man?
You always do me like this. Oh, here we go. Right at the gas station.
That's the craziest That's the craziest drifting I've ever seen. The car just like went sideways. Dad, h how did you get so many wrinkles on your forehead?
You definitely got the Gordon Ramsay look. You can go to the bathroom now.
Your mom and I I need to talk about something. We'll wait for you here.
Okay. Oh, no. Oh, you see that slow turn? Okay. Maybe I should walk away.
I'm You know what? I'm Y'all talk about whatever you need, man. That slow turn said everything. I'll be over here. I'll buy I'll buy some chips. I'll eat some snacks away from y'all until you're done talking. Okay, run. They're going to start arguing about divorce or something. Yo, what's good, bro? Um, damn. That's That's a crazy room you got back there. Is that where you keep the bodies? What is this? Oh, hell yeah. We got chips. We got foes. What do we got?
Oh, we got dude. We got the Mexican the the the the Florentinas or whatever these are called. Bro, every gas station we go to in games has the Mexican grub every single time. The cookies, bro.
Everything. The foes. This whole thing is just frees bread and cookies. That's my kind of gas station. Where am I going? Sir, can I go to the bathroom, please? Is it back here? Okay, I guess it's around the back somewhere.
Aha. Here we go. This looks like it's a bathroom.
It's locked. Oh, it looks like it's locked. I'll go ask the man who works here if he has the keys. I was just there. Okay, that's fine. You know, just Hello, sir. Again. Excuse me. Can I get the key to the bathroom, please?
Bathroom's locked. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I'm asking.
Your parents out there? Yeah, by the pump. I see them. You on a long trip? I think so. You don't talk much.
Here the keys.
All right, dude. When somebody hands you something and they don't bend their elbows, you know they're either like a threat or they're autistic or both.
Close the door and lock it before he comes and tries to watch you take a [ __ ] All right, here we go. All right, I'm done.
I don't remember the last time I've screamed like that.
I don't remember the last time I used this.
Ollie, put me in a happy place.
Yep, that's better. This is the most scuffed green screen you've probably ever seen. There's like edges and I didn't even READ WHAT HE SAID. GOD DAMN IT. You're right. Sorry. I'm just tired. All right, let's get back to the car. Okay, but first I need to return the keys to the man who works here. He lent them to me so I could use the bathroom. You said so much [ __ ] my boy.
All you got to do is say, "I got to put the keys back." Give the keys back to the man. All right, I'll wait for you.
Jesus Christ, that was the worst I think probably one of the worst screams I've ever let out. My microphone probably didn't survive that. I probably I've busted the diaphragm on this [ __ ] Here you go. Thanks for letting me use the bathroom. No problem. You know, some kids don't like trips like this.
They remember things better than adults do. Okay, I'm tired of the green screen.
Get me out of here. All right, let's keep going. The trip just started and already, man. Some [ __ ] All right, we're here.
Hello.
What's happening? Was there a random car that was that showed us a random red car? There he is.
Oh, okay. Oh, we we're arriving now. Gotcha.
What did the man mean by kids don't like trips like this? All right, we're here. See that man over there? He's the one I rented the cabin from. You two stay here for a second.
I'll go talk to him. Okay, so we're renting a cabin. Gotcha. Okay, they're going to talk. Hello. How are you? Sorry for the delay. We had to stop at the gas station. No problem at all. Everything's perfectly fine. So, everything's settled just like we arranged over the phone.
Yes. I just came to give you the key.
This key is for the front gate. Make sure you close it. Sometimes animals wander in. Of course. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. Anything else? Oh, yes.
There's another cabin nearby. It's been abandoned for years. You'll see uh you'll see tape that says do not cross.
You can cross it, but you shouldn't.
All right. Thank you very much for everything. You're welcome. Enjoy your stay. And this is where the [ __ ] starts. It wasn't in the bathroom. It's here in the cabin because guess what? My parents are going to be like, "Can we explore the abandoned cabin?"
All right, family. We're here. Excited.
Well, then, uh, our family trip officially starts now. Oh, let's grab these boxes and take them outside the cabin.
I don't know. I don't like your cheery attitude, Dad. You're always trying to like brighten up the mood, but I'm 13 years old. I have to be a little under the weather most of the time. You know what I mean? Like, I can't express my emotions right now, just on the inside.
All right, I'm walking too slow. Press shift. Let's go. We made it. This is it.
All right, that's it. We're done unpacking. It's already getting dark.
Let's start getting the campfire ready.
Ooh, we going to build a campfire.
Ethan, want to come gather some firewood with me? It'll be fun. Okay, Dad. Let's do it. I I'll come out with you. I'll stay here. I'm pretty tired. I think I'll sleep for a bit, man. Typical mom.
Typical mom. All right. You know what you could do, mom? Is you could make yourself useful. And why don't you come?
This is a family vacation. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh. Oh. I see you guys aren't talking to each other, right, Dad? You guys are there. There's a there's something going on here, right? you guys. After that talk you both had, we're going to go gather firewood. Mom's not going to join us cuz she's going to be sleeping, taking a nap, cuz she's actually crying, right? What'd you do to her, Dad? H. All right, let's do this to make it quicker.
Grab about four pieces of firewood. I'll head towards the entrance. Stay around here roughly up to the fire pit area.
When you're done, put the wood in the fire pit and then head back to the cabin. All right, let's get started.
Okay, I think I got those instructions.
Gather firewood around here, roughly around here, and put them in the fire pit.
Okay. How do I know what the firewood looks like, though? No, I mean, I meant like Yeah, shut up. All right, we're I'm just going to follow Dad. We're just going to go this way until we find firewood. Oh, portaotty.
Why? We got a whole ass cabin over there. Why? Why porta potty? In case I need to use the bathroom while I'm out in the forest like earlier. Dad, can we please stop by a gas station? Man, kid, I I ought to slap you, bro. Pee in the bush. But I need a toilet, man. This generation, I swear to God.
Oh, there's a firewood right there.
Okay. All right. I see what we're doing.
I see what we're doing. They're marked.
That's good. Pick it up. Okay. We got two of them now.
Is there a third one?
Nope. Oh, this is the tape that said do not cross. We can't go that way. That's where the other cabin is at.
Okay, let's check the portaotty. Yep, there's another one over there.
I swear to God if something pops out of that portaotty and scares the I bet there's a portaotti jump scare. I'm calling it right now.
is a porta potty jump scare incoming. I don't need to use the bathroom right now. The whole world is your bathroom, dude. Grow up.
I don't know why I'm getting triggered by this kid and he hasn't even he said like two or three things and has gotten jump scared and I'm playing as him.
Okay. Oh, there's another one right there. Ching. All right, put the firewood in the fire pit. Is this the fire pit? Look. Yeah, of course it is.
I'm done. I'll head back to the cabin and rest for a bit. Wait, did I just hear footsteps?
There is someone walking back there.
I'm getting out of here.
I feel uneasy. I need a vacation like this. I need to go out and camp like this. This is that [ __ ] man. I love I love woods. Wait, how my graphics do I have all Do I have my graphics all the way up? Oh [ __ ] I've never seen this graphics at 100%.
Simple. If only every game had that instead of like a thousand different options like antirophic filtering or whatever the that's called a tessellation a shadows sliders all this other [ __ ] It's like just just do that. Just have it just be from one to 100%. Shitty graphics good graphics.
Hey, wake up buddy.
Oh god. Okay, Dad. Yeah, chill. Wow, you you were out for a while. Didn't think you were that tired. Come on, get up.
We're heading to the campfire. Your mom's already waiting outside. Oh, so she decided to stop crying and actually come out, huh? After we did all the work.
Nope. Turn that back on. And this sounds like it's going to be scary.
All right, it's time.
Oh man, why I got to look creepy though? Like Oh, okay. I'm on edge now. Turn around at the same time. You guys are acting like NPCs.
Stop walking 10 times faster than me.
I'm just a kid. I can't keep up.
You see that? They're not walking next to each other. That's a sign.
That's a sign of a troubled relationship. I'm just saying. Let's sit around the campfire and sing our campfire song. Hello.
Here we go. Oh, yep. See, they're sitting across from each other instead of like next to each other. I think they're about to drop the news that they're getting divorced.
Want to do it, son? Yeah, sure. Here, take this. I got to light the fire.
Whoa.
Oh, I'm so Forget about it, man. I'm the best at starting fires.
Hey, remember that camping trip we took to the coast? The one with that old rusty grill? Yeah. And you almost set the tent on fire? Yeah, that was the wind's fault. And the lighter fluid you kept spraying. That was strategy.
It's been years since we did something like this. That's exactly why we're here. Not exactly. We said we wouldn't start. See, I told you I said I'm not starting anything. Okay, then don't make it sound like that.
Uh, can we do something fun tomorrow?
We'll see. It's always we'll see. Not now. Susan, then when?
Ethan, stay here. Okay. Your dad and I need to talk about something. Oh my god.
Oh no. Oh, they are those kinds of parents, aren't they? Just Okay, come. There they go. They're going to go yell at each other. Well, just go do what you got to do, right? But don't expect me to be here when you come back because I might get kidnapped.
I don't know what's going on with them lately. It's the same thing every time.
They probably think I'm too dumb to notice they've been fighting.
I noticed it from a mile away, my boy.
Something's going to come out and get me.
I heard footsteps. Look. Listen.
Oh, god damn it, bro. This sucks.
Nah, this sucks, man. Stop.
Something's here.
It's going to get me. SOMETHING'S GOING TO GET ME RIGHT NOW. SOMETHING'S GOING TO GET ME RIGHT NOW. I KNOW IT.
OH, NO. Here comes dad. Never mind.
Dad's here. Okay, good. They went and talked about something. Mom's went back to inside the cabin to cry. Um, hey, let's head back to the cabin. Your mom and I had a small argument. Small, huh? I'm sorry you had to see that.
Man, you guys suck. Can you not leave me behind, please? My legs are shorter than yours. I'm just a kid.
I keep hearing things, dude. I swear to God, I keep hearing stuff.
Look at him. Look at him moonwalking.
You see that? Did you see that?
My parents are not real.
Oh [ __ ] Here's a tape.
We're going to the cabin next. We're going to the abandoned cabin.
Yep.
Okay, they're showing us cut scenes of everything, bro.
Oh, something just stuck out like their sexy leg. They showed it. They just They literally went like this. They opened the door and said, "Stuck out a leg.
I want to go to that cabin.
The pet face, bro.
The dramatic zoom on the U-h. Oh, I'm playing as the mom.
I need to use the bathroom. There's one around here somewhere. One of those portable ones. What? What? What? What?
YOU DON'T HAVE A BATH. YOU HAVE ELECTRICITY, BUT you don't have a bathroom in this big ass cabin. [ __ ] this thing is two stories and you got to go to a porta potty. They couldn't have installed a bathroom in here. Look, there's a dinner table even. So, you mean you have dinner? You got to go take a [ __ ] You got to walk outside, go like 2 miles down the road and go to the porta potty. Now, I know places have outouses and stuff like that, you know, out in the middle of the woods, especially like running water, things like that. But at least like something here that I don't have to walk all the way out there for.
Oh god, I'm going to get taken. Ah, here we go, Moachos. After we saw that leg come out of that cabin, we know someone's out here. And yet, here we are. We're going to go out. A goo pe and a porta potty that they couldn't have put like right next to the house.
How convenient, right?
I'm going to die.
A here we go.
Here we go.
Portaotty jump scare.
I can smell that portaotty. It's that it's that portaotty smell, you know.
Mom, you peace standing up.
No wonder dad's always fighting with you. What? Wait, wait, that doesn't make sense. I I You know what? Never mind.
Let's get out of here. What the hell you mean? What the hell? What the hell?
What? Who is that? And why does he have a knife? Who? I need to stay quiet.
Wait.
Oh [ __ ] It's the arm swing.
Autism the serial killer.
Who was that? Why did he try to get inside? I need to get back to the cabin and tell them. We have to leave now. Oh [ __ ] Run. Run. It's a threat. It's a threat. Remember the arm thing I said?
That's a threat. The guy had a knife.
Go to the cabin.
Go to the cabin. Go to the cabin. Go to the cabin. The guy's a threat.
run. Why don't you come out here with a flashlight? Oh god, he's going to jump scare me at any moment. IS IT? OH GOD.
WAIT.
He killed mom.
Wait, actually, was dad next to the bed when I left? He was, right? I thought I saw him sleeping there. No, he was. He was. That's not I was about to say, is that the dad? But no, the dad was in the bed and the guy came from the other uh ma the other mansion cabin. New day. I feel better today. I hope mom and dad have worked things out. I'm really tired of them fighting all the time. Me, too.
I'll go see if they're awake.
Well, dad might be. Oh, what's the excuse dad's going to have for mom not being here? Huh? What are you going to tell your son? Huh? That's weird. Mom and dad aren't here. I'll go check outside.
I can't wait to hear this. Oh, here we go. How are we going to Here he comes.
Oh, he's very chill for the fact that mom's not here.
Hey, you're awake.
Hey, Dad. Everything okay? Yeah. Have you seen your mom? I've been looking for her. No, I just woke up. It's fine. She probably went out for a walk.
The car's gone, so I guess she just needed some fresh air after last night.
Hey yo, there's only two things that would cause a woman to go for a drive at night. A really big argument or a really big But hey, it's just us today. We can do whatever you want until she gets back.
Okay. Yeah, that sounds good. Okay.
Well, I see what he means, though. Like if the car is actually not there a few hours later. But what kind of a man are you if you're out on vacation with your family and you're not aware of when they're getting up to go to the portaotti across the woods? Like my if we were in this situation, my dad would have never let my mom go out by herself like that.
Not really worried about a killer, but wildlife too. Like I'm getting kind of bored. Can't we do something else? Yeah, sure. What do you feel like doing? I don't know. There's nothing to do out here. We could grab some firewood. Oh, we already did that. Maybe we could go to that house. The abandoned one.
Hey. Yeah, just to check it out. I I don't think there's much there still.
Just for a bit. Come on, Dad. It's getting late. Come on. Just for a minute. No, no. Mom's not here anyway.
If she was, she wouldn't let us go.
That's not the point. You said nothing was going to happen, Dad. So, let's just go. All right. 5 minutes. That's it.
Yeah. Okay.
And we're not touching anything. Okay.
If you see any crackhead needles, don't touch them. Okay. If you see anything weird, tell me right away. I will. All right. Let's go.
What if I see like mom's finger or or what if we find her toe?
or like her hip or multiple parts of mom separated, you know, like what do I do then?
Maybe we should call Nanguang, right?
Would Nanguang come all the way out here? It depends like where we're at.
Yeah, this looks uh up.
Got the trees falling on it. Oh, there it is. Yep. Looks worse than I thought.
That's something a dad would That's such a dad thing to say.
Should we go in? Nope. Better not. Why?
Oh, look at the door. The walls. This place could collapse any time, but just for a minute. We don't need to. We already saw it from outside. Come on, Dad. No, please. It's not about being mean. I'm trying to keep you safe.
Come on. Let's just head back. Well, come on. Just a quick look and we'll leave. Fool.
Mom's not here. She'd never let us otherwise. Don't bring your mom into this. Okay, now you're defending mom. Like, but it's true. We came all this way. I don't want to leave without seeing. Anyway, uh um I promise I won't go away from you.
And if it's too dangerous, we leave right away. Please.
All right. But quick. Really?
Just take take the W. Yeah, but you don't leave my sight. Not even for a second. Okay, watch where you step. Yep.
All right, we go together.
Well, man, you walk like two times faster than me, remember? So, please slow down. Thanks.
Here we go.
Oh, what is this? Poop. Leaves.
The graphics quality. That's so funny, dude.
This place ain't even creepy. It's completely well lit and there's no light. Okay.
What's that sound?
I left your side. My bad. Where's mom?
There's literally nothing here. Is mom in the drawer? Have we checked the drawers for mom? Make sure she's not in the closet. Oh, what's this?
Just more space. All right, I think that's enough. Let's go.
Okay. The whole place was empty. I was expecting it to actually look like a creepy abandoned place.
Oh, I'm playing as the killer now.
Oo, I'm watching.
OKAY, THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY, BRO. That's kind of creepy. Like the way he just like went like now you see me, now you don't type [ __ ] Dad. Oh, I see you already finished eating. Hey, could you grab some firewood for the campfire? I'm pretty tired again. How many campfires we going to build, bro? Mom's not even back.
If you collect around three pieces, that should be enough.
Okay. Mom still hasn't come back. Do you think she's still mad?
I don't know. But if she doesn't come back by tonight, we'll leave. Okay.
Yeah, I guess so. We don't have the car.
What What do we do? Remember, grab three pieces of wood and put them in the campfire container. All right, let's go look for wood again. Except the killer's out here watching me.
And I know exactly where this is going.
Let me look back here first. See if there's any campfire wood.
Nope.
All right. Going to go collect three pieces of uh firewood again. All right, I see one. I'm waiting for it.
I'm waiting for it. Here we go. There's like a smudge on my screen that perfectly looks like a person off in the distance in the woods. Two. Where's the third piece? And there's already so much firewood here. Why do we need more?
Three. All right. Put him in the firewood.
CFO song. Okay. I let my intrusive thoughts win. Here we go. I'm done. I head back to the cabin.
But not before you get kidnapped by the killer or stabbed. It's big responsibility for a dad to be out in the woods with a kid by themselves with the missing mother and him saying, "Hey, just go out there, gather some uh firewood. What are you doing, Dad?
Haven't seen you do shit." All right.
You've been walking around. What was that?
Someone there? I'll go check. Zero survival instincts from this little kid, man.
Zero survival instincts. That's not How about we don't go check. Oh god. Listen to the music. Listen to this [ __ ] Here we go. Here we go.
Okay, it's just a wreck. I'm on edge.
I'm on edge right now. Cabones, I forgot to wear my heart rate monitor, but if I would have it, it would probably say 122 beats per minute. Dad, were you able to get any signal?
No, I couldn't. I don't like this. Mom hasn't come back. What if something happened to her? I don't know.
I'll go where we parked the car. Maybe I can get signal there. Okay. Can I stay here? I'm a bit tired. All right. I won't be long, man.
Does the entire family zero survival instincts? Zero survival instincts.
That is a Gordon Ramsay PNG that they stuck on this face.
No signal.
Okay, let's go to where we parked the car. Wait, what is this, man? You didn't come prepared with like I don't know.
Don't modern iPhones have like some uh SOS ability or some [ __ ] like that? Like we're walking around like they like like it's early 2000s like that singular wireless company with the commercials it would say can you hear me now? Good. And then they're like looking for signal.
Can you hear me now? Good.
God, I haven't thought I that just unlocked memories that I had like hidden away. I had forgotten about that company. Holy [ __ ] Also shows how old I am.
The car's actually gone. The killer took the car. You didn't take your car keys with you? How the hell did they take the car? [ __ ] Great. I don't have the key.
Oh god. Where did I drop it? I think I left it back in that abandoned house.
What a kinky dink. Because that's just where you should go to get killed.
I had this feeling I was missing something. Oh, and I just All right, I'll go back there.
So, if you don't have the key, then how did mom get to the car?
Also, can't you JUST GO AROUND THAT WALL?
It's such a like you can go around it.
I hope dad manages to get signal. Oh, I'm playing as the kid now. Uh-oh.
Oh, let's go outside.
[ __ ] the power's out. Why did it sound like that?
Oh. Oh. Now we pull out a FL. We've had a flashlight this entire People been walking around in the dark. Like mom was walking around in the dark. She could have had a flashlight to begin with.
Dad's been walking around in the dark with a no signal thing on his phone. But I have a flashlight. Where am I? Where am I going with this?
Okay.
Go out here.
No.
Oh god.
No.
Something just knocked on the window.
That came from my parents window.
I know.
I know.
What's out there?
The panda. Huh? What could that have been?
I don't like that, man.
Am I missing?
Something's going to jump out at me. Why am I just Why am I just walking around with a flashlight for no reason?
Okay, something's messing with me.
Stop that.
Stop knocking on windows like that.
Oh, great. Now it's coming from my from my bedroom.
Okay, the music changes some [ __ ] Now we're ready for jump scratches. Here we go. I'm ready for it. Bring it.
I knew it was going to happen.
RUN. WHAT THE hell was that? Who was that? Did he do something to mom? We need to get out of here now.
OH GOD. DAD, what the dude?
Oh my god. What happened to the lights?
Why is everything off? Dad. Dad, listen to me. There's someone outside. Hey.
Hey, calm down. What do you mean someone? There was a man like in the window. He was right there looking at me. He had a knife. I SWEAR. a knife.
Slow down. You're not making any sense.
Start from the beginning.
>> I just told you from the beginning there was a man standing outside the window.
And you say that doesn't make any sense.
Start from the beginning. Did you not listen to me? I was in my room and I heard something like tapping on the glass. I turned and he was right there just standing there watching me. Are you sure it wasn't just your imagination?
Dad, mom's missing. No, it was there. It was real. He was right there and he just walked away into the dark. [ __ ] Dad, what if he found Mom? What if he did something to her? Don't say that.
Don't think like that. But she's not here. She's been gone for too long.
Listen to me. We're not staying here.
Yeah, let's go. Let's just leave right now. We can't. We don't have the keys to open the barrier. What? Then what do we do? I left them back at the abandoned cabin like a idiot. No, no, no, no, no. You're not going back there. I don't have a choice. Dad, that man could still be out there. He could be watching us right now. I'll be quick. I'll go. Grab the keys and come straight back. No, please don't go. He's going to hurt you. Hey.
Hey, look at me. Nothing is going to happen to me. I promise. You don't know that. I need you to stay here. Don't open the door for anyone. Don't make any noise. Just wait for me. Okay, Dad.
Please. I'll be back. Stay inside no matter what you hear. But what if he breaks in? Do I still stay inside?
We're playing as dad again.
No, I know. I MISS WAITING for the I'm going to go find those keys and then die afterwards. All right, it's not far. Just grab the keys and go back.
Come on, don't be stupid. It's probably nothing.
Your son just told you there's a killer with a knife and you're saying it's probably nothing.
This game's pure cinema. Okay, killer.
If you're going to do it, just do it.
Just please stop dragging this so long.
Mr. Killer.
Oh, Mr. Killer.
All right, this is it. Just grab the keys and get out.
Keep almost on this.
[ __ ] That scared me. Something just fell.
Huh?
Something fell. OH, MY HEART IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF.
HEY, I didn't know anyone was here.
Brother, he's having he's holding a knife and he's got a mask. I'm not looking for trouble.
I just came to grab something and I'll leave. My keys, they should be around here somewhere.
Mr. Man with a knife. You can stay there. All right. I won't get close. Did you hear me? Look, I don't want any problems. I've got a kid waiting for me outside. You just told him you have a kid. So, I'm just going to take my keys and go. Okay.
I can't move. He's just standing THERE MOUTH READING.
[ __ ] I just got jump scared by a man that was staring me right in the face going, "He's taking too long. This isn't normal. He said he'd be quick. What if something went wrong out there?" That man, he could still be around. No, no, I shouldn't think about that. I'll just stay here in my room. I won't go outside. I'll wait for him. Dad, please come back. He ain't coming back, homie.
Dad, is that you?
Front door. Nope. It's not your dad, Pendo.
A [ __ ] bro. You better run.
Uh-uh.
YO, NO. DAD, NO. I HAVE TO HIDE. CLOSET NOW.
MOVE. GO. CLOSE IT. CLOSE IT. Close it.
Close it. Close it.
I'm good at this. No.
Hey, how'd you know I was in me, man? Come on.
No, I didn't. What? What? Really? HOW DID I FAIL THAT?
Take it be a little [ __ ] in the house and I'm going to start running. I could climb out this window and start running. But no, no, I got to go hide in the closet.
Dad, is that you? No. No. It's not you.
It's not your dad. Oh, just just a killer. You better start running. Okay, time to go hide in the closet. Oh no, Dad. No. Oh, please. I got to go hide in the closet instead of using the window and running outside like I should.
It registered the microphone.
Oh, he he stopped. I don't hear him anymore. Dad killed. I can't stay here.
I need to get out.
Okay. Think, think, think, think. I can stay here. You could have come back.
It's the wire gate where the cars are parked. It's high, but maybe I can climb it. Now, there's an idea I can get behind.
I don't care if I fall. I just need to get out. I'll go quietly. You can't see me. No. Don't. Trust me, bro. Just run and don't look back.
Listen, you're a lucky kid because you just happen to be controlled by me. And if there's one thing I know, it's climbing. All right. Haha. I guess dad's not going to be ahead of me anymore.
Run. Here he comes. That's not a raccoon. You better start running, kid.
Remember, don't look back.
Just run towards the gate. Don't go towards the noise. Run towards the gate.
OH MY GOD. RUN.
GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.
There's the fence, right?
But look, I'm looking at it right now.
Keep running. You could just go around the fence like that way, right? You can't tell me you can't just like go up the hill and around like to go around.
There's no there's nothing stopping you.
Okay, I made it. This is it. The gate. I have to climb now.
Easy. You better start climbing. [ __ ] He's here. He found me. Move. Move. Oh.
E. E.
I climbed fast. [ __ ] I climbed fast.
Check it out. Oh, I fell. Oh no.
Oh no. Oh no. Get up. Get up. Get up.
Get up. Think. Ethan. Think. He's coming. He's right there. That rock. I have to sneeze. I have TO GRAB IT NOW.
BUT I HAVE TO I'm dead.
Imagine you have to sneeze right before this situation right here. What now?
Stop.
What?
What? What? What? Why are you approaching me like that? Just Just do what you got to do. Stop this.
Use the rock.
What? Click him.
This is my opportunity.
He's not moving. Dad and mom, too. He took everything from me. I won't let him get up again.
Press E on this [ __ ] Oh, I'm the best tapper in the world, mother.
10 out of 10.
10 out of 10.
After what happened, silence remained. Was it the guy from the gas station?
Damn, this game's just depressing.
Just played I just played a game where the parents die.
The family trip.
I didn't expect it. Okay. Typically with these games, like there's typically a a killer of sorts, but you tend to get saved. I like that this game did something a little bit different, especially when like you're hiding in the closet with the microphone and stuff like that and makes you think that you're safe just by not talking, but then the killer actually comes to the closet, tries to open it, and you have to like do the tapping miniame, which was unexpected cuz I actually felt safe at first by not talking, and then he got me. But I'm glad that the sneeze came at the end of the video and not while I was in the closet cuz I would have lost that instantly. Anyway, that was the family trip. 10 out of 10. Pure cinema. Thank you so much for watching. If you guys enjoyed it, leave a like. Let me know down in the comments what you want to see next. But that's it for me. I love y'all and I'm going to see you next time. Bye.
