TATTLETAIL (React: Gaming)

♪ (upbeat video game music) ♪

- "Tattletail"? I have
no idea what this is.

- The font is super happy,
but that doesn't look happy at all.

- I don't like the security camera look.

That usually means something's
gonna pop up at me.

- I've seen a few gameplays of it.
It looked really scary.

- (FBE) We're gonna give you one chance

to see if you can make it
through the first four nights

of Tattletail alive.
- Okay, alive.

- I'm really good at scary games.

But I hate playing them,
because I get jumpscared a lot.

- Let's do it.

- This is so reminiscent
of being a kid in the '90s

and putting in VHS tapes. (giggles)

Oh, 1998.

- 1998. I was in first grade.

Oh, this is just like my room!

"Open your Christmas presents early."

That's a first. This is great.

- I'm gonna get out of the room.

- (gasps)

Christmas tree.

- Where are the presents?
They're usually--

Yo, where's Santa? Where you at?

- I celebrate Hanukkah.

So I don't even know where
the presents are supposed to be.

- If I were a Christmas present,
where would I be?

- "Hold Shift to run."
Oh, it makes noise. Okay.

So obviously something's
gonna be chasing us.

- (sulkily) We gotta go
in the basement. Fuh!

- I'm tense right now, bro. I'm tense.

- "Hint: watch the yellow icon
on the top right

to see where you're making noise."

- Okay, that's that I'm making noise?

So, like, the killer's gonna find me?

- Where's my Christmas presents?

Mm, there's a microwave.

That's just what I wanted. Can I go now?

- Where them presents at?

They really don't want me to find these.

- Where's the present--
where are the presents at?

Oh, I found them.

- I'm gonna get in trouble.

- Oh! It's-- oh.

Is that like a Furby? I hate Furbies.

- "Talking Tattletail." I don't know.

You don't look creepy at all.

- This is like a demonic Furby.

- This is just like a devil Furby.
You could already tell.

- (Tattletail) Playtime for me!
- (frightened gasp)

Shut up!

- (Tattletail) Me Tattletail.
- (screams) No!

- (Tattletail) Me love you.
- Aw, I love you too for now.

Now shh.

- I don't want it. Give it back.

- "He really eats. Grab some food
from the upstairs fridge."

- (Tattletail) Give me a treat.
- Yes, I know.

I know you want to eat.

- (Tattletail) Give me a treat.
- Aah. Okay, okay.

I'll give you a treat.

- Let's keep it down. Let's keep
the love just between us.

- Bro, shut up!

- (Tattletail) Give me a treat.
- Shut up! Shut up!

- Upstairs fridge.
(frantically) Where's the fridge?

Why am I so freaked out?

- (Tattletail) ...a treat.
- Come on!

- (Tattletail) Give me a treat.
- Don't eat me.

- (Tattletail) Hehehehehe.
- Oh, my god.

- "Use the brush in the living
room to clean Tattletail."

- This is just like a Furby.

- It's like a Tamagotchi, you know?

You're just taking care of it.

- All right.
- (Tattletail) Hehehehehe.

- He's really needy for a toy.

- "Go back downstairs in the box"?

- You want to sleep.

- Bro, me really scared
right now. Oh my god.

♪ (eerie chime) ♪

- What was that?

- (Tattletail) It's dark.
- Yeah. It's okay.

You're gonna go in a box. You'll be fine.

- Okay, you're back in their house.

- (Tattletail) Tattletail go home.
- Can I just put it back

in the box?

- Wrap it up! Bye!

- Go to bed! Go to bed!

- Man, I really don't want
a Furby this year.

- Where are the parents of this kid?

Why are they letting him
run around the house

without any supervision?

(phone ringing)
- Oh, I hear 'em.

Oh, I'm not picking that up.

- "Don't answer the phone."
Don't need to tell me twice.

(warble)

(relieved) Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

(falsetto) I don't like this game at all!

- "December 21, 1998,
four days before Christmas."

- Why do I got to investigate
the clunking noise?

- Probably in the basement,

'cause that's where everything scary is.

- Why would a kid go back
to playing this loud-ass toy?

It's like he wants to get in trouble.

- Clunking noise? Clunkity-clunk-clunk.

- That sounds like a washing machine.

- It's getting louder.
We're getting somewhere.

Where-- oh, okay.

(washing machine rumbling, rattling)

Those pesky washing machines.
- (Tattletail) Hehehe.

- How'd he get out?

- "Please charge."

- He's just as annoying as Furbies were.

- Charging station's over here. All right.

- (Tattletail) ♪ La la la la la la ♪
- Got you! I'm--

shut the [bleep] up!

- I should've just let him die.

- "Let's have some fun.
Find a vase in the basement."

- I don't want to play with you, man.

Let's cut this play date short.

- We're heeere.

No, I'm going the same w--
oh, there it is. Found it.

- "Oh no"? What's the "oh no"
bullshit? What's this task?

- Aw, this game just got scary,
man. I hate this.

- What the [bleep] is that?

- Aah! (calms down) Okay.

(chuckles) That was too much.

Shake that way up.

- "Investigate the grinding noise."

(faint rattling)
- Oh, that sounds awful.

- To the basement,
where all the kids have fun.

than the other night.

It's getting bigger?!

- Okay, I'll bring you to your mom.

- She was, like, at a door or somewhere.

- Mama's over here.

- (Tattletail) Where's Mama?
- Where-- (gasps) where did she go?

- Oh no, Mom!

- Mama's fucking mad at me

for taking Tattletail out
and playing with him.

- You gotta wrap him back up.

(warbling)

(flashlight rattles)

- I don't care if I make
noise at this point.

I don't think it matters.

(electricity crackles)
Wait, what?

"Mama makes a grinding noise
when she's nearby."

- I want to breathe.
