some of these games were inspired by real crimes. Others recreate locations connected to disturbing cases. And a few of these games have connections that are honestly hard to believe, but are very true. So, today we're going through Roblox games that are based off of real
Speaker A
Because behind what looks like a normal horror game can [music] be a much darker story.
Speaker A
looks pretty simple. You're trapped inside different locations with a creepy pig-like character hunting you down. And your only way out is to explore the map, find different items, unlock doors, solve puzzles, and escape before Piggy catches you. But as the game continues,
Speaker A
You see, some of these games were inspired by real crimes.
Speaker A
characters and skins, and an entire community dedicated to figuring out its lore. But it's also very easy to forget where the original idea actually came from for this game, because Piggy wasn't completely original. One of its biggest inspirations was actually a horror game
Speaker A
Others recreate locations connected to disturbing cases.
Speaker A
to quietly search through rooms, collect objects, solve puzzles, and unlock a bunch of different areas to eventually find a way to escape. Does that sound familiar to you? Because Piggy essentially took that style of gameplay and combined it with characters inspired
Speaker A
And a few of these games have connections that are honestly hard to believe, but are very true.
Speaker A
Because when you actually start looking into Granny itself, the game Piggy is based off of, you'll find claims online that the terrifying woman chasing you around that house is actually inspired by something much darker, a real killer.
Speaker A
So, today we're going through Roblox games that are based off of real-life serial killers to find out what actually happened.
Speaker A
And trust me, once you hear her story, you'll understand why people have made the connection. all the way to Piggy.
Speaker A
And we're starting with one you've definitely seen before, Piggy.
Speaker A
the type of person most people would immediately consider dangerous. I mean, this lady lived in an apartment and had spent decades living a relatively ordinarylooking life. But all that normal and innocent looking appearance completely changed when a woman named
Speaker A
Now, if you've played Roblox for basically any amount of time, there is obviously a good chance that you have played Piggy.
Speaker A
with each other. And by problems, I mean just tons and tons of arguments. But this is where the case becomes even more disturbing than everything we've already heard. You see, the investigators that were looking into the case actually
Speaker A
And on the surface, Piggy looks pretty simple.
Speaker A
would turn what could have been just a single murder investigation into something a lot bigger. Because apparently Samova, the granny lady is what I'm going to be calling her now because her last name is very hard to say, had apparently been keeping
Speaker A
You're trapped inside different locations with a creepy pig-like character hunting you down.
Speaker A
terrifying question. Was this other elderly woman, Ulanova, actually her first victim? And since that question arose, investigators began examining the granny lady's past, and authorities reportedly looked at whether she could potentially be connected to other deaths or disappearances. And because they kept
Speaker A
And your only way out is to explore the map, find different items, unlock doors, solve puzzles, and escape before Piggy catches you.
Speaker A
that would eventually helped create the theory that we're talking about today, the Granny Ripper. And at this point, after everything had spread online, the Granny Ripper was known around the world. So, when players actually learned about the Granny Ripper, the
Speaker A
But as the game continues, it becomes way bigger than just escaping a creepy pig.
Speaker A
is based off of the serial killer tomorrow Samanova, otherwise known as the Granny Ripper. So obviously Piggy is based off of a real serial killer. But somehow this isn't even the strangest Roblox game with a supposed connection to a real serial killer. You see, this
Speaker A
You see, there's an entire storyline involving an infection spreading between characters.
Speaker A
customers constantly come in wanting food. You take their orders, prepare burgers, serve them, make money, and slowly upgrade your restaurant.
Speaker A
And because Piggy became absolutely massive on Roblox, it ended up spawning in multiple chapters, lots of different characters and skins, and an entire community dedicated to figuring out its lore.
Speaker A
running out of meat to make burgers. And once you start running out of meat to make burgers, you don't actually just call someone and order more supplies like a normal restaurant. Burgers gives you a much darker solution. You use the
Speaker A
But it's also very easy to forget where the original idea actually came from for this game, because Piggy wasn't completely original.
Speaker A
a literal meat grinder in the back of the restaurant with a human skeleton next to it. But the dark story doesn't even end there because somehow the darker your restaurant becomes, the more money you can continue making. And
Speaker A
One of its biggest inspirations was actually a horror game called Granny.
Speaker A
make an awesome horror game. But that is not the case. It is based off of a real serial killer. Because over 160 years ago, there was a real criminal case with an extremely similar idea to what this game has. And trust me, this one gets
Speaker A
And once you compare the two games, it becomes pretty obvious.
Speaker A
horrifying story was a man named Joseé Ramos. Now, here's some info on Jose. Jose lived with a woman named Katrina Pulse. And according to historical accounts of the case, the two would actually work together to search for potential victims around the city. And
Speaker A
And this is where we get to the serial killer connection.
Speaker A
somebody had followed her there, they had absolutely no idea what they were walking into. You see, once they walked into their house, victims would be robbed and murdered inside the home. But it didn't end after that. You see, Ramos
Speaker A
You see, in Granny, you wake up trapped inside a house with an elderly woman hunting you.
Speaker A
Carlos operated a butcher shop in Porto Aliggre. And according to the story that eventually becomes famous throughout the city, portions of the victim's remains were allegedly taken into the butcher shop and then turned into sausages. And those sausages were then supposedly sold
Speaker A
You have to quietly search through rooms, collect objects, solve puzzles, and unlock a bunch of different areas to eventually find a way to escape.
Speaker A
butcher shop. You buy some sausages. You take them home. and you have absolutely no idea where the meat you're eating supposedly came from. You're probably thinking, "Oh, this is just from a cow or pig or chicken that was just on a
Speaker A
Does that sound familiar to you?
Speaker A
But thankfully, Joseé Ramos, the guy who pretty much was the leader that orchestrated all this, was eventually arrested and prosecuted for multiple murders. And he was actually originally sentenced to death before his punishment was changed. And as a matter of fact,
Speaker A
Because Piggy essentially took that style of gameplay and combined it with characters inspired by Peppa Pig.
Speaker A
did. You see, this next Roblox game, instead of it having one disturbing mechanic that resembles a real crime, the game has an entire roster of killers, and some of them have connections to real criminals as well.
Speaker A
And then it eventually developed into something much larger with its own story and universe.
Speaker A
survivors then have to work together, complete objectives, and avoid being hunted down before they can escape. And depending on who gets selected as the killer, the entire match can feel completely different. Now, at first, most of the characters seem like the
Speaker A
So, like I said, this is where we get to the real-life serial killer connection.
Speaker A
because not every idea behind these characters ends with a movie. Some of them can actually be traced to real killers. And one of the biggest examples comes from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Speaker A
Because when you actually start looking into Granny itself, the game Piggy is based off of, you'll find claims online that the terrifying woman chasing you around that house is actually inspired by something much darker, a real killer.
Speaker A
He's the massive masked killer carrying around a chainsaw. And obviously, Leatherface isn't a real person. There wasn't actually a chainsaw wielding man named Leatherface running around Texas exactly like you see in the movie. But parts of the Leatherface character were
Speaker A
See, according to one of the biggest gaming theories online, people believe that the real person that Granny is based off of is named Tamara Samanova.
Speaker A
So Ed Gene became famous in Wisconsin during the 1950s after authorities investigating a disappearance searched his isolated farmhouse and discovered evidence of grave robbing and horrifying objects he had created using human remains. And one detail in particular would later become extremely important
Speaker A
And trust me, once you hear her story, you'll understand why people have made the connection all the way to Piggy.
Speaker A
Chainsaw Massacre movie wasn't a recreation of Ed Gin's crimes. The movie obviously had its own story, its own characters, but it did borrow a lot of disturbing concepts from cases like Ed Gins, which means while Violence District might look like just another
Speaker A
Now, Tamara Samanova was an elderly woman from St. Petersburg, Russia, who became infamous after police began investigating an extremely disturbing murder in 2015.
Speaker A
that game is called Mother's Care. Now, I'm not going to actually play through the entire game because a full run can take around an hour, but it is a very fun game, though. Anyways, let me explain what happens in Mother's Care.
Speaker A
Now, at the time, Samanova was already in her late 60s.
Speaker A
difficult to find, and the entire family is slowly beginning to starve. Now, at first, their mother seems like she's genuinely trying to keep everybody alive. She prepares meals, she looks after the children, and constantly reassures them that she's doing
Speaker A
And from the outside, she probably wasn't the type of person most people would immediately consider dangerous.
Speaker A
Because every day that passes, the situation inside the house gets worse and worse. The portions of the food you receive become smaller. The mother herself starts acting very strange, and then the siblings begin disappearing one by one. Now, at first, the remaining
Speaker A
I mean, this lady lived in an apartment and had spent decades living a relatively ordinary-looking life.
Speaker A
But eventually, Ryanette actually ends up realizing the truth. Their mother isn't simply struggling to find enough food. She's killing her own children.
Speaker A
But all that normal and innocent-looking appearance completely changed when a woman named Valentina Ulanova disappeared.
Speaker A
And according to the official walkthrough from the developers, that case was Andrea Yates. Now, Andrea Yates was a mother from Texas who in 2001 killed her five young children during an extremely severe mental health crisis.
Speaker A
You see, Valentina was just another ordinary elderly woman who Samanova actually knew and had reportedly been staying with at the time.
Speaker A
There wasn't a famine and cannibalism wasn't part of the Yates case. So, Mother's Care isn't literally recreating what happened. It instead appears to take just the basic horror of a mother killing her own children and build an entire story around that. So, that's the
Speaker A
And according to multiple reports surrounding the case, the two women eventually began having problems with each other.
Speaker A
Now, the great Chinese famine occurred between 1959 and 1961. And what essentially happened was food production just collapsed across huge parts of the country of China and millions of people ended up dying. Entire communities were literally pushed into extreme starvation
Speaker A
And by problems, I mean just tons and tons of arguments.
Speaker A
same horrifying idea. When people are deprived of something as basic as food for long enough, survival can push human beings toward things that normally would seem completely unimaginable. And that idea makes playing through Mother's Care feel just completely unsettling. So
Speaker A
But this is where the case becomes even more disturbing than everything we've already heard.
Speaker A
researching what inspired it. Because this next game might look like a regular Roblox horror game at first, but its inspiration leads us down an entire rabbit hole involving missing people, park rangers, mysterious fires, and a group of cultists hiding inside a
Speaker A
You see, the investigators that were looking into the case actually ended up obtaining surveillance footage that appeared to show Samanova leaving her apartment carrying bags and other items.
Speaker A
simple. Watch the forest, help any hikers who need assistance, keep an eye out for suspicious fires, and survive your night shift. Except there's already something wrong with this forest. Hikers have apparently been going missing.
Speaker A
And inside those bags were Ulanova's remains.
Speaker A
forest is much bigger than a couple of missing hikers. But here's where this game becomes really interesting. Because Cultus is vaguely similar to another horror game. The Roblox developers themselves actually specifically credit this horror game which is called Fierce
Speaker A
And once they figured this out, police ended up searching her home.
Speaker A
lookout who has recently transferred to a new watchtower. And Jack thinks he's going to be spending his time doing what any normal fire lookout would do. I mean, he's basically just sitting alone in a tower in the middle of nowhere. But
Speaker A
And what they discovered inside would turn what could have been just a single murder investigation into something a lot bigger.
Speaker A
because hidden inside somewhere of Iron Bark State Park appears to be an entire group of people performing some kind of ritual, a cult. But now you're probably wondering something. Why are we suddenly talking about a different game? Well,
Speaker A
Because apparently Samanova, the granny lady, is what I'm going to be calling her now because her last name is very hard to say, had apparently been keeping diaries.
Speaker A
with monsters and ghosts, each episode is designed to feel like something that could have genuinely happened to somebody. There's home invasions, creepy motel, being followed, housesitting alone, working in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker A
And these weren't just normal journals and diaries about what she did every day.
Speaker A
Bark Lookout game. Because both these games aren't just about some random monster chasing you through a forest.
Speaker A
According to reports about the investigation, some of the granny lady's writings appeared to describe violent acts and deaths in an extremely real way.
Speaker A
Which means if the story submitted to Fierce to Fathom really did originate from someone's actual experience and there's a much bigger question. Who were these people supposed to be? Because that's the part that people have actually been trying to figure out since
Speaker A
And that immediately raised a terrifying question.
Speaker A
They've looked through missing person's cases. They've searched for reports of strange groups operating around forest and national parks. And they've tried to figure out whether there was an actual incident that could have inspired what we see in both games, the Roblox game
Speaker A
Was this other elderly woman, Ulanova, actually her first victim?
Speaker A
video called I found the real story behind Iron Bark Lookout. And instead of me sitting here explaining every single theory surrounding this video, I think it's actually better if we just look at what they found. All right, here we go.
Speaker A
And since that question arose, investigators began examining the granny lady's past, and authorities reportedly looked at whether she could potentially be connected to other deaths or disappearances.
Speaker A
get the coordinates to a fire lookout called Gobbler's Knob Fire Lookout. Look familiar? That looks like it because it is the exact same design as that of Iron Bark Lookout.
Speaker A
And because they kept looking into disappearances of people relating to the granny lady, the granny lady's own husband, who disappeared years earlier, actually received new attention.
Speaker A
And both of these locations are found in Mount Reineer National Park. Oh, okay. Now, there are multiple stories online talking about missing people in Mount Reineer as well as some super national phenomenas occurring there.
Speaker A
And as details of the investigation spread throughout social media and the internet, the granny lady, Samanova, was then given the nickname that would eventually help create the theory that we're talking about today, the Granny Ripper.
Speaker A
School of Enlightenment established by Jay-Z Knight. Wow. So, there is a real spiritual sect group that believe in a 35,000year-old being called Ramtha.
Speaker A
And at this point, after everything had spread online, the Granny Ripper was known around the world.
Speaker A
also sometimes dress like the members shown in game. And as for why they tried to attack Jack, most probably relates to their teachings being limited to only their students. [music] The members of the real life cult also have been accused of using intimidation
Speaker A
So, when players actually learned about the Granny Ripper, the similarities seemed literally perfect.
Speaker A
Okay, so clearly there is a real cult and there is a real park where all of this went down and I guess the story is pretty much true. So Cultus is based off of a real story that does have real
Speaker A
And soon after this, videos began appearing online claiming that the Granny Ripper was the real Granny from the game.
