Mothmen 1966

The first entry in the Pixel Pulps series of visual novellas by LCB Games. The story is great fun, a playful, yet also impactful, piece of pulp science fiction. The game revels in its comic book-like pulpiness! And yet, at the same time, the writing is superb, in a way that elevates it out of its specific genre and it becomes, simultaneously, a reflection upon that which it is celebrating and playing with, an artistic feat that can only be accomplished by people who love what they’re doing. It’s a delight. The pixel art, though not as refined as their latest game, Grizzly Man, is fantastic. And the player interface and overall design - which they seem to use across the whole Pixel Pulps series - is a dream. Finally, I much prefer the card game, and a puzzly shooter mini game, to the mini games in Grizzly Man. I’m excited to play their other two games.

buy this only if its on sale, zero character development, too unsolved rabbit holes at the end, bad bgm, good concept . good visuals and great atmosphere building. i dont suggest buying this for the full price

No autosave feature, lost all my progress upon taking a break. Very loud and annoying 'text sound' that cannot be adjusted separately from other sounds. Avoid.

nostalgic
