This is the first in a series of planned “pixel pulps”, Mothmen 1966 captures the feeling of an old pulp novel mixed with the choices matter type gameplay of something like Until Dawn. The game is presented in this pixelated, 3 color style that fits excellently with its overall pulpy aesthetic. As the night wears on, the characters all converge on the gas station Holt runs Victoria and Lee to watch the stars, Holt because he works there, and Lou, a non-playable character who is investigating strange occurrences around the town in Mothmen 1966. A Lee chapter usually has him battling with his overwhelming urge to be as masculine as hell despite deeply doubting himself. In a Holt chapter you might be doing things like organizing the shelves at the gas station he works at. Each chapter is presented from the point of view of a different character.
After a night time visit by three well-dressed strangers clad in black, Holt begins to wonder if the strange dreams he’s been having might be more than just dreams. The third player character, Holt, struggles to understand his place in the world. Lee struggles with his abusive upbringing, Victoria struggles to make herself heard. From the outside, Mothmen 1966 seems like a schlocky horror story, but when you actually get into the meat of it, there is a well-written and at times poignant Victoria is also one of the playable characters, and she’s stuck between the urge to get away from Lee and live her own life, and the pregnancy she doesn’t know if she should tell Lee about. You have the rockheaded and quick to anger Lee, driving his girlfriend Victoria out to an old gas station in the woods to watch the Leonid meteor shower. You’re presented with a cast of characters, and play through them over the course of a dangerous night. Mothmen 1966 feels like a demake of something like Until Dawn. There is a dearth of mothman content outside of like, Fallout 76, so I’m happy to see that Mothmen 1966 is bringing our favorite moth creature to our PCs in style. The stories range from believable to nonsensical, but their staying power over the years is unarguable. It flies, it has glowing red eyes, and it bothers people driving down dark highways.
There is just something compelling about that particular cryptid. Media involving the humanoid moth weirdo from West Virginia is some of my favorite.
