A Stereotypical Obby: The Story Explained

Why did I think ‘sterotypical Obby’ was racist?

This is probably the most unique and creative Roblox horror game out there. It is quite unfortunate that its hidden story is pretty generic. I'm sorry but the whole souls being trapped in a video game has been done so many times already that I wish this game's lore was something a little more unique.

Am I the only one that was not surprised that it was a horror game? The fact that you have to make or join a lobby gave it away to me.

It was an innocent game until you see that there were lobbies, lobbies give everything away.

i went in blind to this, thinking it was just a well made obby, until it hit me with that jumpscare at the end. My computer crashed specifically when the jumpscare happened, It had to update apparently and stayed off for a while, which made me think I broke my PC

Imagine this type of horror game got popular until the point there are so many of them and you can't tell which one is a normal game or a horror game

QUICK CORRECTION: Despite not having played the game myself, I found a subtle change from very easy to easy from Kreekcraft's stream, which is the fact that the environment gets slightly darker and the music slows down just a little. This is very subtle, and I am not surprised that you were unable to catch it. Kreek's girlfriend, Kayla (whom he was playing the game with), couldn't catch that it had happened. It appears to be the most subtle transition in the game. Also, another possible connection between FNAF and ASO (a stereotypical obby) is the VR headset at the end.

I honestly had no idea what to expect when playing this. I was "Okay, I am really bad at obbies, but that 15 second video said it was easy. Maybe I should give it a try?" I went with a bunch of random people, and got more scared as the game further progressed. 10/10 game. Would play again.

by the way, if you look closely, there's a semi-transparent difficulty above extreme

In the bad ending, they are never at peace. The souls (helpers) will never escape now that you died and they said they are only at peace when they escape.

You see? Roblox games can be Good however some are as rare as the sun exploding today

I played this game with my friends and we made so many stupid jokes it kind of ruined the experience. But as the scaredy-cat of the group, I wasn’t complaining.

Stage 10 is the first stage that changes the music and lighting (its only extremely slight), not 20. The character waving at you is not only at Stage 40, it's based on RNG. You probably either didn't notice it at first or you had extreme bad luck of not seeing your character before 40. Also, you didn't explain the chase sequence (or, the point where you feel you're being chased) where the screen is a bit red and the camera shaking along with a loud buzzing sound. As you progress to the next stage, you will see a purple figure at your exact position. Maybe explain that?

i didnt really find it scary, it was just kind of amusing since i've never really seen an obby hidden as a horror game

one feature you will notice is if you press F9 to check the dev console, you will see a text that says "Behind you."

My theories: -This was an obby slowly turning into the player’s past (Jail, Buildings, Riots) -We got killed by our own creation (Obby and the Monster) -We were a Game Tester (VR Headset at ending cutscene)

THE stereotypical obby is quite the experience, an unexpected horror game thats disguised as a obby game. couldnt notice the subtle changes on the few stages until it got really weird.. great video though!!

6:00 on the spawn you can see that difficulty

This is what roblox games should be. They should try some experiments and should get inspirations from good and classic games! and I love how the people in the special thanks credits was the creator of FNAF(aka Scott Cawthon)!

A Stereotypical Obby is easily one if my favourite horror games on the platform. its so much more than the mindless jumpscares and chase scenes that are essential to many other horror games.
