A typhoon is in Japan, but PiroPito would still like to give you a tour of his house.

• The tatami mats are terribly damaged.
• There is a long hallway.
• There are a lot of dolls and photos of ancestors from WWII and presumably the ancestors ⚱️?
• 🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁
• "This is not horror video."
• It is a horror video.

Yeah, I saw where this was heading, and left long before whatever other horrors were coming came...

Sort of a lateral shift from my last studio in Brooklyn.

No "doll rooms" allowed. In any house, anywhere.
Seriously, WTF?!

The flashlight, ambient sound, decayed surfaces, and songlike repetition of the caption phrases all gave me a Silent Hill vibe way before things got gnarly.

Something that surprised me, though, is the making-of video. I expected, by the end of the walkthrough, to find out that it was all a really, really painstakingly crafted digital environment, and not the really, really painstakingly crafted physical environment that it really is.

Very impressive, and super creepy.

No thanks, I don't like creepy paper.

After some fast forwarding I realised I was expecting some lickers to drop down from the ceiling.

I should've finished reading the post first. :(

Can someone who understands what is going on explain it to me, a person who watched all 12 minutes of this and has no comprehension at all of what he just watched?

This is not horror video.

Mari Kondo begs to differ.

Spoilers

MakinG of My house walk-through. It's like a set designer's project. There's an old abandoned house nearby so they bring a bunch of stuff in and over the course of a few days / weeks (I forgot) they slowly turn it creepier and creepier. They make a walkthrough during the night as the work progresses so the original video is like being trapped in a never ending tour of a house that is more decayed and creepier every time you open a sliding door or turn a corner.

My best guess...

I wonder if they left the house like that for the next poor urban explorers to find?
