Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. Struggle to survive in a harsh, persistent, procedurally generated world. Scavenge the remnants of a dead civilization for food, equipment, or, if you are lucky, a vehicle with a full tank of gas to get you the hell out of Dodge. Fight to defeat or escape from a wide variety of powerful monstrosities, from zombies to giant insects to killer robots and things far stranger and deadlier, and against the others like yourself, that want what you have…
Gameplay is from Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead's 2023-04-15 experimental release. Experimental builds can be found at cataclysmdda.org/experimental/
Most of the music is from CO.AG, packaged with the game's CC-Sounds pack / @co.agmusic

"remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer" - darkest dungeon
"How many zombies can there possibly be in two city blocks?" Well, leaving aside the possibility of apartment buildings, you make a dangerous assumption. See, we forget how far noise can travel in a city because they are, typically, full of the noise of cars which are louder than we realize. Gunshots are very loud and a handgun's sound can travel up to a mile when there's no interference. So it isn't just all the zombies in two blocks, but every zombie within at least a mile that is bearing down on your location.
There seems to be an apartment building right across the street from dude's house. Surprised she didn't mention it. I think that's why there were so many. Those things seem endless sometimes, plus the zombies trickle out as they break through doors and have to get down from higher storeys.
Wasp queen? A simple problem! Drainpipe? An immortal enemy that knows no fear and must be approached cautiously at all times.
You're like Kruggsmash for C:DDA. A real gem to discover.
High praise!
Dude you're so freaking cool. You have the best C:DDA content out there, and all your videos are actually the best. Your intellect and imagination really shine and your editing is top notch. Thanks for doing this stuff. I'm going to be your fan forever and I hope you never get burnt out because I'm always extremely happy when you post a new video.
Spends the last episode riding around in roller-skates killing dozens of zombies.
wreck you shit climbing down on a pipe.
sounds about right for cataclysm lol.
Damn, falling off the drain pipe nearly ended us. I’m amazed so many Zombies survived falling in the mall considering what that small fall did to us.
Got two zeds in one shot at 23:24
And a bike kill! lol
it had it coming!@@pbsixgun6
22:10 i dont know why but "Feral Human" always makes me laugh
AKA CDDA players.
25:44 yeah, parasite eve music IS probably the most appropriate response to seeing something like that...
I hate the giant wasps so much. Ive honestly considered learning to mod just to remove them somehow. Nothing is worse than finding a building in the middle of nowhere, thinking you're saved, then learning it is full of hell beasts in a paper cage
This is what fire, Molotov's are for.
Straight up nuke it from orbit😅
Something I appreciate about this series is, because it’s a natural extension from doing tutorials, you use “we” when narrating the adventures instead of “I”.
It creates a very immersive tone that brings the audience into the experience, which I feel like I don’t see a lot of content doing. Nothing else comes to mind
Unfortunately life is pretty crazy and I can’t watch through every episode like I want to, at least not yet, but I sure appreciate the vibes when I can. It’s good stuff!
I’ve been inching my way through your tutorials when I find the time. They’re very helpful and I’m thankful you’ve made them
That last zombie got me more tense than i thought...
Man, that street looks like a war zone with all those shells and casings covering it.
The next person to come through there is gonna see themselves and then shit their pants when they realize it was all just one person using several guns.
@@mantha6912 Considering you usually only find casings in small amounts, a bloodied rag and nothing to show for it, or 1 or more bodies nearby, none zombies. The hundred or so destroyed zombies and bullets would concern even a vet if they learned it was all within a short time. lol
God, you are collected and concentrated! :D Only "/" on torso - "yeah, nothing a good rest can't repair" :D
It's like a gas tank. Drains fast, but that last / goes a long way.
Maybe I spaced out at some point but I pretty sure Mellifera got a distracted by the extra wave of zombie and her gunlust and forgot to go back to the computer 😅
I love this series, so sad I finally caught up. Very excited for the next episode!
Yea I spent most of the video feeling like 'yo you got the usb complete the reason you are here so you can leave whenever without failing primary objective'
This is why I stay subscribed. Seeing this world unfold. Seeing new Zeds. "What the hell is that" is distressingly becoming Meli's catch phrase.
Hi Worm Girl do you play Caves of Qud??
I sure do!
Nice episode! Do make sure to look over the military zeds for any military ID cards! I know at least one of them had one on them, I'm sure you could use something like an electrohack when needed, but sometimes it's worth just having an ID card on hand.
Parasite Eve ost is a certified classic, great choice. This was a pretty tense episode, I was on edge the whole time
I love this series. Anytime a new episode goes live I make the time to watch it.
Can't believe that after all the roller skating badassery, an unlucky fall almost got Meli. Yikes.
I always enjoy watching you play this because i do not know how
worm giiiiiiirl
I LOVE WORM GIRL UPLOADS
I was actually on the edge of my seat with that ending
Running around, gunning down almost a whole town's worth of zombies in a single night ... and almost done in by a random slip while trying to climb off a roof. What a hilarious and fitting end to the episode
Yes! The new episode!
Two weeks ago I never had heard about CDDA, now, I'm reading about it on work and playing almost everyday. And it's your fault WormGirl! Lol
Great content. Thank you!
Oh look! It's my favorite new series and person I'm subscribed to returning with more excellent and entertaining things for me to enjoy!
Yahoo!
Thanks you for continuing the series, it REALLY feels like I'm watching someone fight to survive in a genuine apocalypse!
Omg i finally catch the first Worm Girl video to be released since i subscribed. Ive learned a lot watching your gameplay and I think me and my first multi month character would like to say, thanks for the content! Cant wait to see more :D
Yay new worm girl! I just got home from a long road trip and I needed something to relax to so thank you!
Thanks for making dope content, I’ve been binging it while sick as hell this weekend. Made me feel better!
Love your videos they are amazing to listen to while I drive around at work!
I literally checked your channel an hour ago to see if there was another a video! The timing! Love it!
Just found this content recently, and I gotta say that after watching CDDA let's plays for years this is some of the best I've ever seen! Love it, and I'd gladly pay for more!
Edit just saw the Patreon
So I used to play this eons ago - most of my playtime was before it was Dark Days Ahead - and just seeing that damn lightning zombie had me so sure it was the reason this video was titled 'Hubris'. Those damn bionic zombies just fucking blasting you like Zeus and giving you infinite pain...
A _lot_ has changed since those days. It's definitely worth playing again if you haven't. 0.G is great
@@Inglonias I think last I tried I was still getting the 'blizzards in spring' thing that would just freeze me to death in the shelters. It's so much harder to do anything I'm interested in with the static spawns and stuff now.
its always a good day when there's more Worm Girl content
tfw Mr. Johnson fails to mention that the building you're supposed to be raiding is an insect spirit hive.
Love your CDDA videos, very soothing and always nice to see experienced players play this.
God I was on edge the whole time, so I downloaded this game and I got the this same mission from the evac shelter npc and fought my way thru a hoard and ducked in to a gun store, I was surrounded, blasted my way out and found the house.. didn’t have the drive on me and I died to a crazy solider zombie
The stories that come out of this game are incredible. I love how the quests contribute to the emergent narrative by providing structure and motivation.
@@mutantwormgirl it’s so crazy and cool to make a new character and spawn in the evac shelter you first spawn in. Like I had a little makeshift bed and brazier and work bench and it’s still there ready for my new character
after this mess you've gotta be covered in a solid inch of congealed blood. I'm imagining moving through that mess and honestly it's a wonder you could rollerblade through that gunk.
Every single time I see an upload of this series on my home page it hypes me up so much XD
I just finished / commented on your last video and the new one comes out?
I am blessed!😍
i got into your stuff through funger, and had no interest in or knowledge of this game, but youre such a great storyteller that im locked tf in for the ride. keep up the great work! (:
Holy shit , another cdda upload! Thanks worm girl! Also hot damn , nice double kill and encounter with a queen wasp. I expected you to meet smaller wasps before her
Amazing as always! Dang you make me anxious exploring so much tho 😂
Man! I love your CDDA stuff. It doesn't feel like you are playing the most optimal way which is way more fun because I have seen that way too much
"There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles." - Peace Frog, The Doors
Wasting so many good bullets on "." or ":" zombies with Heavy Arterial Bleed, many such cases, I do enjoy just pressing 'P' until all the zombies die :P
Love the series
Seeing the title and the MF'ing wasp on the thumbnail made my heart drop.
Glad to be proven wrong.
I'm jumping into this series now because I saw the giant bee in the thumbnail for a CDDA video. I'll go back and watch the rest.
Roller skating + ranged weapon is really playing on easy mode. I have a playthrough where i'm a ninjutsu rollerskater and it makes things so much more dangerous but also fantastic. Fantastic stuff as always, luv.
Always a good day when I see a new Worm Girl C:DDA video in my feed
Thanks for the content!
just found this series and slammed them all in three days. what a great series. can't wait for the next one. oh also, could we get a count of total zeds killed next time? i'm guessing over 200 at this point
12:30 Skating rink is now even more metal with its glory
Was not expecting Parasite Eve music ♥
To think, a couple episodes ago I thought you were going overboard on the ammo. 😂
I remember thinking that all that firepower in the kayak seemed like overkill. I couldn't have been more wrong.
What's the plan for getting stronger as all these new and more dangerous things are showing up? It seems like better guns and more ammo will only take you so far if they're gonna keep getting stronger at this rate.
Our skills are still fairly low, raising them would make us much more effective. We have a lot of room to grow!
@@mutantwormgirlNeat! Looking forward to seeing the progression, drainpipes permitting.
yessss, best way to tie down a busy workday.
Nooo waaay!the timing could not be any better!
If you want a quicker way to unload guns & mags, you can hit ">" & grab the cartridges out directly - saves a good few keypresses
Loving this series!
I was gonna say the darkest dungeon quote but someone beat me to it lol. Regardless thank you so much for another part. You're awesome 😃
Nice video as always.
Thanks!
I was absolutely dying the longer you went without going back to the computer to download the thing
WOOT A NEW VIDEO! Made me terrified seeing that thumbnail.
If this gun store is empty I am gonna be devastated lol
This was a strange mix of calming maybe even a bit boring and tense as I was waiting for the stamina to run out without noticing or suddenly being surrounded or something like that. Regardless it was a fun watch.
Oopsie-poopsies, you're my Streamer now :3 Since Blahaj was found, you have dethroned my previous streamer of 6 years. I look forward to funneling my savings into your patreon in hopes you will continue narrating so that I may sleep with silly stories in the background. Thank you best worm girl 🐛*wiggle wiggle*
Whoo! Worm Girl video!!
that is some seroius zombie slaying
Giant gun fights in cdda are my favorite, i try to sneak into police stations and fight to weapons lockers. Normally there are enough Pistols and rounds there to destroy and clear a large town not to mention the amount of shotgun ammo too.
Also nice double kill, its a rare accurance with low caliber rifles, but the barret makes that happen often 🤩
new worm girl just dropped 👀
This series has been pretty friggin' kino so far, really wants me to get into CDDA.
I don't understand anything that's happening but I'm hooked
Hmm, I've actually caught up with this series. I guess editing these takes a while. Climbing is something I'm sort of terrified of in Cataclysm. There was one instance where I had accidentally broken a staircase leading down, and I still wanted to loot the place. I decided to try and figure out how to repair the staircase, so I was prudent enough to save before throwing materials down and climbing down myself. But it probably was another more complicated construction that I needed than what I was looking at, and I still got trapped. Trying to walk up those stairs made me fall and take damage. Now I know stepladders do the job, and have looted a basement in an otherwise similar situation.
Why... was I not subbed before? Well, I have stuff to catch up on!
Love your work!
And all caught up. Damn.
Its amazing stuff, yeah.@@Narifamen
Welcome to the peak of off road roading!
Worm worm wormfies!
Yeeeeah, new episode! I returned to the CDDA and play a lot of experimental, sad that moving save to updated glitch render and now I can't use "X" and look from 1 step around and can see through walls some times.
I think they fixed that this morning. Try a newer version.
Love your game play. Have you ever considered going live?
I do live streams for my patrons, but I'm not as good live I think. These edited videos are way more engaging.
@@mutantwormgirl it's cool. Keep up the good work.
Definetly agree, I like what little live content that I've seen. But, I feel your edited content is unique very much & not something we get nearly as much.@@mutantwormgirl
The first line: We forgot the thumb drive!
Hey, we all missed that one. :). No worries.
Omg hi I forgot your account existed
Your voice is so calming genuinely jealous
I've been trying to play recently as a low skill high stats character and I keep on dying. I think it was easier 10 years ago.
Some things are easier, some harder. The player has access to tons of new tricks but conversely there are more dangerous enemies and things like guns are harder to use.
rollerskater whit ak that would be scary sight indeed🤣
Great episode WG
Yeah you lock up that enormous spider away, maybe board up the door with red tape if you find any. Put up signs reading "arachnophobes beware."
Yea, using that marker to label locked door with nasties behind them can serve as nice RP thing.
just got out of uni, excellent timing. that title is a bit scary though...
Yes new episode
Can't wait to see what mutations ans other lab shenanigans happen
So just curious WG but do you have anything planned for the next CDDA series?
I'm so behind on everything related to CDDA I couldn't suggest anything beyond a Mutant or CDDA Magaclism run.
Hey some people prefer memorable games instead of safe long ones I can respect that even if I prefer playing the boring way.
Cool, new vid.
Is that the Darkwood soundtrack I hear?
Wonder what tile set this is?
MSXOtto+. Comes with the game.
@@mutantwormgirl thank you!
Hey guys, I have a problem. Would welcome any advice if anyone knows the solution. I made the mistake (?) of setting up my base in the building next to where I spawned into the game. The area was just too perfect for a base to pass up, or so I thought. Pond and forest nearby, and a marsh (salt water), on the edge of town, with a field surrounded by buildings I could easily connect by walls and create a kind of castle, a pre-fortified gunshop next to the field to move into, subway entrance nearby...One look and you'd recognise how perfect it looks for a base.
The problem is that doing anything there takes forever. Any activity that causes time to pass. Like, sleeping takes a solid 5 mins irl. Maybe 10. It takes so long. Whereas if I sleep anywhere 2 or more tiles away it takes about 10 secs, which seems to be how long it's meant to take. I don't know why it's doing that. But I've set up a pretty good base by now so I'm loath to abandon it. My warehouse is pretty full and I've sunk a lot of time into building defences.
I've gotten into the habit of running to a house down the street when I sleep, but this is irritating since it means I'm leaving the safety of my base when I need it the most. It also means my NPCs have a tendency to wander out into danger looking for me if I haven't locked them up. Anyone know if there's a way to fix this? Or what causes it? It seems like something right in that tile is causing a huge load on the CPU, but I don't know what that could be. The area is cleared and has been since about the second in-game week. I'm somewhere in my second summer now, so if there were some secret group of mobs pathing around and slowing my game in that exact tile I'd think I would've found it by now.
I'm wondering if it's just a property of every starting tile for some reason. I did the Really Bad Day start, so there was a fire. Maybe that did something? Anyone know? Anyone know if it's fixable or if I just have to bite the bullet and move my base somewhere less CPU-intensive?
Mostly the thing that causes lag is monsters in the reality bubble. The game simulates all Z levels above and below you, and if your house is above a secret underground lab, every turn like 300 zombies will be wandering around down below out of sight causing massive lag.
Spoilers below for how to find underground labs:
If there's a subway station around, go inside and into the tunnels. See if they go back toward your house, even within 5 or 6 map tiles. If so, you may find a sealed door there. To get inside, use a jackhammer (can be found in a utility closet in the subway station) or find a science ID card.
If it isn't that, then IDK what would cause it. If the fire is extinguished it shouldn't still be a problem.
@@mutantwormgirl Thanks WG. I have cleared the subway but probably only 2 or 3 tiles in each direction from where my base is. I just cleared enough that I figured my 'home' tile was clear. So maybe that's the problem -- I just haven't cleared enough. Or I guess it's possible the subway zags back towards my base, I'm not sure. But I've noticed that underground doesn't seem to line up perfectly with overground. I've done a bit of mining directly under my base -- I was hoping that sleeping underground might fix the issue. I didn't find anything but I didn't mine very far either.
I'll have to strap on my atomic headlamp and do some more dungeon-crawling I guess. Thanks for the reply.
@@mutantwormgirl One other thing that may or may not be relevant: I noticed that for a while whenever I went outside I was seeing the twisted reflection of myself from the portal storm maze, even though there was no portal storm. Which made me wonder if there's some glitch due to that. But it's been lagging like this since the very first week, before any portal storms had happened. And I'm using the Gaiman stable release, not the experimental. So it seems unrelated.
I don't know. Hopefully it's an underground lab like you suggested. Or some subway station full of cockroaches, maybe. If I figure it out I'll let you know.
@@mutantwormgirl Found a science lab just a little further on from where I'd stopped clearing in the subway. Given I can see my basement on the map I know it's well clear of my base tile, but yeah cdda can be funny like that I guess. Only one way to tell.
Can anyone tell me what tileset mod it is?
There's no mod, it's just MSXOtto+, which comes with the game.
@@mutantwormgirl Thats what i meant thank you! Keep this series up!
Seeing you play this, i’d love for you to play Project Zomboid someday
You've probably been asked this a couple times before, (if so I apologize) but have you played Project Zomboid?
I know it well, but I haven't yet dug into it. I know CDDA was a big inspiration for them.
Worm girl cool
Oh I... wasn't aware our protagonist was so cunty. Who Saya you can't look cute after the apocalypse.
Fun ;p
