Horror Human and Why It Matters

Hello everybody. My name is Markiplier and welcome to Human Shaped. I wonder if this is going to be something like Shift at Midnight, which I think got a full release recently. I'm not 100% sure. Story is I think you are a clerk on your night shift, I'm guessing, at a 24-hour convenience store. Not an uncommon scenario. Night one. Oh my god. I thought those were faces. I thought those were giant faces. Man, I live in a sty. I mean, I'm not one to talk. I've got like I've got two random half drank coffee cups and cans here. So, I'm not exactly the most cleanly. I need to eat something, do I?

What in the world could I even eat here? Oh. Ah. Can I turn on light, please? It is dark in here. All right, that's a little better. It's cold. I need to heat it up. Well, microwave it is. Whoa. I didn't know I had a nuclear microwave. I didn't know I had the surf of the sun in the box. Dong ding. Yum. Wash face. Well, you know, that's a little bit of hygiene. It's nice. The wash face on the toilet. Are we sure about that? Okay. I was about to say I would have been surprised if it let me head to the mart.

Use bathroom. Wash face with toilet. Wash face with shower. No. All right. Goodbye apartment. Goodbye. This kind of has a similar vibe as uh all those other horror games. The one by the chillazart um makes this a lot. this kind of slice of life. I don't mind. I know it probably sounds like I'm critical when a lot of games do this. It's not really that not this way. Okay. It's not really that I'm critical about it. It's like I'm critical of things that I've seen too many times, but also I know that a lot of these things Hi, are just based in real life. How's it going? That is quite a waddle. Yeah. What's up, gamer? Is that a gamer shirt?

Wow. Hey, gamer. Whoa. You approaching me? Are you approaching? Oh, hi. You're approaching me. You're Oh my god. All right, fine. Jeez, someone else went missing. This neighborhood is getting worse. I'm surprised that person thought I wasn't going to kidnap them. Yeah, this way. Special dis Hi. What's going on? What's up, gamer? Everyone in the neighborhood's a gamer. What are you doing? Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, no. Oh, newspaper. Okay. Serial disappearances. Anxiety spreading throughout the district. Special report.

Local police authorities are calling for maximum vigilance from residents as reports of missing persons continue to surge. Within the past 48 hours, a total of three individuals, including a local high school student and a delivery man, have vanished without a trace. Witness testimony is conflicting, but there have been some reports of eerie shadows loitering within the district. Police Chief Tanaka issued a statement. We are investigating all possibilities. Please avoid walking alone at night and report immediately if you see anyone behaving suspiciously or anyone who feels out of place. Sure hope no one thought that about me.

I'm perfectly in place. It's a ch of a cloud. All right, I'm going to the mart. Kind of looks a little bit like Lixian's game. Oh Please tell me that was like my stomach or something from the horrible meal I just ate. Hi. What is happening? What is happening there? What is occurring? Hey, what's up? I just had that for lunch. Hey, what's up? Look who finally showed up. You live like 2 minutes away. Night shifts are killing me. My brain is still asleep. Same. My eyes are burning. I keep seeing things moving in the aisles. I need a nap. Too much coffee, maybe. Go home

before you pass out. demands your call. He said if anyone acts weird or looks off, just don't serve them. Finally, permission to be mean to customers. Get some rest. See you tomorrow. Don't fall asleep at the register. I'll try. All right, it's all me now. Grab the barcode scanner. How deep into the convenience store simulator are we going to go? Cuz I'm prepared to go pretty deep. I don't mind. I don't mind at all. I'm ready. Barcode scanner acquired. Now, see, I would like to be able to rope off this uh path back here so that no one can get me.

Oh, hello. Welcome, weirdo. Hi. Oh, yeah. Come on in. Everybody's welcome here. Do I have a gun? Just a very shifted midnight thing. Just like, hey, a gun. Did your face just change? I swear your face changed. Hi. Oh my god. Supermarket Simulator. Huh? Yeah, I know, right? Hi. This just reminds me I need to play Super Mario Supermarket Simulator again cuz I said I was going to get back into it and then I completely forgot about it. Also, I will say it has taken me quite a while to get back into the swing

of regular recording because I'm so used to like I have to record so much on like one day and then that's all I'll be able to do. If I don't get it, I don't get it. And now I can be like, "Hey, I can record like one or two a day and I spread that out and I'll be fine." You know what I mean? It's weird scheduling it out like that, but it used to be such a routine in my life. Like back before I did like two 10-minute videos, when I did that, I would get up at like 5:00 a.m. Hi, Good boy. I know. And I would record one, edit that, post that, record another, edit it, put it up all and the first one had to be up by 9:00 and the second one I have to be up by noon. That was my life. That was all I did. It was crazy. And I

could never get ahead because I got up at 5:00 and I worked till noon and then I was so tired by the end of it. I was like, I'll take a break. And then I was like, "Oh, but we got other things that we need to do. You know, we got to plan out." And then we started doing bigger projects and it was like, "Oh, there was never time for any of that." So, I have never in my entire YouTube career, my entire life, been ahead on videos scheduled more than two weeks. That is the truth. Some people even ask me like, "Oh, you must have your videos planned out for a week. So, if you could FIT IN OH MY GOD. Was I supposed to be looking out for anybody? Was I supposed to be looking out for some weirdo? Here I was just yapping away and I 2350,

huh? Interesting. Well, at least it said night, too, so I think I was supposed to lose that. Oh, man. What a dream. 2350. Don't be late. All right. Eat something. All right. Sad TV dinner it is. What do we got? Huh? Well, that's nice. Don't have time for any of that. Oh, I got to get to work. Oh, what time is it? Oh, All right. Goodbye, house. I got to wash my face. I got to go. I'm going be late. Let's go. Anybody there? Nah. Wait, that's more posters. Feels like half the street is gone. I need to be careful. I'm going to be careful. Hey, what the hell?

I definitely heard double footsteps. Hi. What's up, man? How you doing? You good? Chto, stay back. Don't come any closer. Relax. I'm just walking by. What's wrong with your chin? You're one of them. I see it in your eyes. One of who? I'm just going to work, man. The things they're trying to blend in. Wearing our skin. Talking nonsense. They're everywhere tonight. You're talking crazy. You're crazy. You need some sleep. Listen, if they come to your shop, do not let them in. Watch their faces. Sure. Good luck with that. I thought I saw that first guy.

His face kind of chis his face kind of changed. I swear. Hey man, I'm not feeling so good. I feel a little strange. My coworker, you forgot to restock the shelf yesterday. Sorry, I was just really out of it. And the floor, too. It hasn't been mopped. was covered with dirts this morning. Look, I said I'm sorry. I'll take care of it tonight. You're usually not this lazy. What's wrong? You just wanted to get out of here. I don't know. I just forgot. I'll do it now. Okay, fine. Try to stay awake tonight. You look like a ghost. I'm fine. Just go home. You know, most convenience stores when they do the night shift, they kind of lock the front doors and they have a

little window on the side. It's for the employees safety. I'm restocking. Nobody come in here while I'm restocking. It's going to tell me what I need to restock. Uhhuh. Damn, that's bright. Bonk. Okay, so that's just a normal factor of running out of sprint. Hello. Huh? Hello. Uhhuh. Okay. Your face doesn't look too terrible. Hi. What's up? Cold tonight. Hi. Cold tonight. Okay. All right. Yeah. Sugoy. Hi. Sorry. I'm in a hurry. Got it. Sugoy. Hi. Your face. What's wrong with Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Got it.

Is this on sale? I'll scan it. Good boy. Uhhuh. Oh boy. What the hell? This is very shift at midnight. Hi. Oh, hi. Is this on sale? Oh, let's find out. Go away. Please go away.

Hi. My skin is itching underneath. All right. Take care with that. Take care of with that. Hi. Sorry. I'm in a hurry. You look fine, I guess. Sugi. This is kind of cool. Not going to lie. Pretty cool. They look relatively normal. Am I supposed to be mopping? If a staff is rude, disruptive behavior, you're allowed to lose service. Handle it calmly and avoid causing a scene. Yes, of course. Hi. Just these, please. All right. Where'd you go? Anything wrong with you two? Gamer. Hi. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. You sure are.

Uh-huh. A beard, huh? Weird. So far so good. Oh my god. A beard. Could be a mask. Well, hello there. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uhhuh. Yeah. Nice. Oh my god. What? Hi. Oh no. Hi. Got it. Okay. Goodbye. Okay.

We're super closed. Nobody better come in here. Oh, good. It just pushes. I just push it right through. That's nice. Is there any more floor I need to mop? I thought I got it all. Oh,

I see. By the bathroom. Nobody better be in there. Better. Oh, you better not. I KNEW IT. Think you've been in there this whole time? Yeah. Finish the floors before you leave. I'm going home. Sure. Good night. I just did though. Woo! Oh, and then I pass out from the smell. Night three. Give it up for night three. I'm sure they're not going to get weirder. OH MY GOD. HELLO. HI. What's up? How you doing? Yeah, it's just my sweet paralysis demon. Yeah, he just likes to be really close to me, you know. Yep. All right, let's get some food in here. You don't think I'm turning into one of those things, do you? That'll be weird.

All right. Yeah. All right. I'm going to wash my face. No, I'm not. Yeah, maybe it's not so much a matter of uh people disappearing that just people changing. And I mean the What the hell was Oh my god. All right. Goodbye. Hi. Uh, what's up, gamer? I'm coming down there. I got to get to work. That's what I thought. Huh? There seems to be some weird happenings happening here. Hey, what's up, my guy? Glad to see you're still around and human. So am I, by the way. I'm very human and still around. How are you? This must be a fun light to sit under.

Hi, friend. Good evening. The air is very nice tonight. Do I know you? You must be a stranger in this town. Stranger? I walk here every day. You must have seen me before. I don't remember. My mind is very quiet now. Good luck at work. What's wrong with you? Hey, what's Hey, wait. What? What's up, man? Hey, how you doing, buddy? Hey, what's up, pal? Hey. Oh my god. Hello, coworker. It's me back to replace you as per us. Hi. Everything is too tight. My skin, it feels like it's stretching. I can hear it. Are you okay? You look sick.

Seriously, go home. I don't think I have a home. Not anymore. I'm just waiting to be scanned. What are you talking about? You're scaring me. Uh, goodbye. Huh? Well, that happens. Happens to all of the best of us. I thought I saw a shadow behind me. All right, I'm restocking. All right. Hey, eager beaver over here. Ready to get some food. Hey, what's up, buddy? Hey, gamer.

Coming straight for me. Hey, wait. Whoa. What's uh what do you need? What are you? All right. You uh finding everything okay. Hello. You want to buy something or what? Okay. Here we go. What's up, Speedy? How you doing, pal? You could be normal. I don't really know. Oh. Oh, okay. All right. Good stuff. Hi, welcome. Yeah, please be normal. Oh, who's going to make it first? Ah, why is this so slow? Look, there's a lot of reasons. Oh my god.

Hi. Hey, what's up? Uh, I'll Okay, goodbye. Hi. Keep the change. Oh my god. What the What in the parasite? Oh boy. I don't know if there's any normal people left. Oh, you seem normalish. Hike. This is how humans speak. Is it now? All right, cool. I mean, you're not wrong, but wow. Hike. Can you make it quick? I will. Can you make it quick when you kill me? Have fun being human. Ah, well, you know that could be normal. Could be fine. Just in your underwear. That's nothing too weird.

Looking at you're looking at me though. Just these, please. Yeah, I suppose. Uhhuh. Cold one out tonight, huh? This place is always bad. Well, screw you. You're just rude. I don't think you're an alien or anything like that. You're just rude. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Yeah, I bet you are. So am I. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. Could be normal. I mean, I haven't seen someone that looks like you just yet, but you know. Hi. That ain't right. Hi. This is how humans speak. Uh-huh. This is how humans get rejected.

I guess you all kind of look at me. Hello. Hi. Just these, please. You got it. Finally, we got some normies over here, right, gamer? Hi. Can I borrow your body? I mean, hey, it could just be flirtation.

Probably not, though. Oh, your twin. Not you. Hi. I will make it quick. Hi. Keep the change. I will. Where? What's wrong with Oh, boy. Uh-huh. Oh, you know what? Hey, you're back. What's up, man? Hi. Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Okay. I don't know about the goatee, but it's not enough to make me think that you're that. Can I just go over to you and refuse you? I feel like I should be able to do that. Not to judge a book by its cover, but I'm pretty sure your cover is not human. Or maybe the cover of your book is human, and that's part of the problem.

Hi. Long night, huh? Yeah, you've too a drunk. My god, why are you doing? Get out of here, please. Please leave. Oh my god. Well, that's a little strange. Seems a little odd. Everyone's gone, right? Time to head home. No way. I actually get to go home. Oh, I thought I was going to have to walk home. Well, that was a normal ending. Can't wait for the next shift. 16:44. Well, that's not quite right. Not again. Wake up. Just wake up. What do you mean? Be the shape. Don't be late. What? Mysteriously note one. My neighbor from downstairs is a lifesaver.

She got me a shift at the mart starting tonight. She told me I'm hopeless with time, so she even bought me this alarm clock. She even left a sticky note on it so I'm not late. Okay. I can't turn on the TV. Why would I read all the notes? I'll try my best. Kind of apocalyptic out there, huh? Ah, it's not just her. I saw a guy at the station today whose jaw was hanging at the wrong angle. They're everywhere. They're walking, talking, and wearing our skin, but they aren't us. They're just blending in. I think they're watching me because I noticed. Okay, I missed a note. Note two. I tried to thank her for the job today, but she didn't even blink. When she finally

turned around, her face wasn't skin anymore. Looked like raw wet meat left out in the sun. No eyelids, no lips, just red muscle. Maybe I'm just tired. Yeah, maybe. Got to be another note around here somewhere. Oh. Ah, I didn't even know this was here. Oh, nice. Seriously, no. For Am I even me? Is the real me still in here? Tonight, I have to act normal. I have to go to work, scan the items, and smile. If I act human enough, maybe they won't realize I know. I just have to go through the shift. This is my handwriting. But I didn't write this.

Oh. Ah. Go outside. I'll turn that off first. Okay. I'm going to go outside now. Oh. Okay. I don't need to lock up. Don't look at me like that. Are you real? You're not even looking at me. Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm real. I'm the realest reel there ever reeled. Public notice. Area lockdown order. Assaults by unidentified individuals surging in this area. All residents must strictly follow these instructions. Stay indoors. Remain at home and ensure all doors are locked. Business closure. All facilities, including retail stores, are now closed.

Warning. Do not approach anyone exhibiting unusual speech, behavior, or appearance. If you see a human-shaped object, do not make contact under any circumstances. Well, that's good to know. I'll be on the lookout. Run. Why am I running? Why? Why am I running? I'm running. I'm not going to question it. I'm running. I'm not going to turn around. I am running. Hey, what's up, pal? Uh, yall right there. I'm running. I can't run. I'm tired, but I want to run. Why am I running? Oh, I'm going to run. I'm running. Oh, I'm running. Just

What's up? You're late. It's okay. I already started for you. What's this? Why do you have my face? Don't worry. I'll take it from here. The shape fits me perfectly. Go to sleep. Stop it. Where's my body? Give it back. Why? I do a better job than you anyway. I don't forget the shelves. I don't miss the dirt. I was just tired. Are you sure you want to be you again? Everyone likes me more.

You're not me. You're nothing. Grab a box from the staff room. I will. I'm going to do that. I stock the shelves. I stock the shelves like a normal me would cuz I'm me and I know what the shelves need. I'm the only one that does. I'm the only one that can. I know exactly what they need and they need me and I am a good me. Great. Time to check out the customers. It's a whole army of people coming in here. You got it, pal. Yep. Is this on sale? We'll find out.

I think there's a song about that. Hi. Cold tonight. Uhhuh. Hi. Don't you know how to do this? I mean, yeah. I guess it's a little rude, but whatever. I could refuse you for being rude. Hi. No. Hi. Can I borrow your body? Well, no. My body's taken. Hi. Is this on sale? Yeah, probably. Uhhuh. Hi. Bye. All right, just a little more mopping and we're going to be good to go.

Blurp Nice. No objective. Wait, it said no objective. I did everything right. Why won't this end? Why won't it end? Oh, it ended. Oh, it's not ending. It didn't end. I need to go home. Anybody in the bathroom? All right, I'm going to go home. Time for rest and recuperation. Oh, hey. What's up, man? Hey, how you doing? Hey, good to see you. Just got to go around. Life is hard, isn't it? Work, bills, people. It never ends. What do you? You don't have to do this anymore. No more shifts, no more fears, just sleep. You

Please, please, please, please. I need a little more. What? Oh. Oh, no. Uh-huh. Oh, good thing they gave me some stamina, I think. Ah, freedom.

Maybe. Although sometimes going into the bright light means death. Huh? Hi. Hello. Doctor. Hey, you finally awake? Oh, my editors. What time is it? Time for you to go home. Your shift's been over for a while. Must have fallen asleep. Sorry. Whatever. Just get some real sleep. Yeah. See you tomorrow. Okie dokie. I'm going home. Nothing took my shape except for me. Oh, it's nice. Oh, it's lovely. Oh, wow. Oh, it's very nice. Was that a skip in my step? I think I just Hey, yippee. and click my heels. Life's good. What's up, buddy? How you doing, pal?

Looks like everything is looking up. I'm going home. Nothing bad is going to wait for me home. Oh, ending A. I'm assuming that means it's a good ending. Human shaped. There you have it. Not too bad. They didn't give me that time. I'm too smart for them. I've played a few too many horror games for them to be able to pull a fast one on

me. I know exactly what I'm all about. Thank you, Bored Leviathan, for making that. That was pretty fun. It did remind me though that I think Shift at Midnight had a full release. Shift at Midnight, that one. It's like this except you have a gun and you have a database to look people up. I think that one could be pretty uh pretty fun to play after this. So, I'm going to look into that one. Thank you everybody so much for watching. Hope you enjoy this. Let me know what you think down in the comments below. If there's any other games you find like this that you know that I don't know about, keep it to yourself

except for putting it in the comments. Thank you. And as always, I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
