- Someone might still be alive out there, but getting to him might not be as easy as it sounds. Mellifera gathers her arsenal and prepares to head out into the woods, away from the mall for the first time since the cataclysm.
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/
Music is from CO.AG, packaged with the game's CC-Sounds pack / @co.agmusic
Plus there's a song from Barotrauma at the end.

@Worm Girl Thanks again for featuring the miniature! 1:26 Excited to watch this today 😊
timing is a bit wrong, buddy :D
Mate you did an amazing job, and fair play for creating such a gift. Hats off from a drunk Irishman :)
I love that the first child zombie you killed gets a poetic monologue. But the third child zombie you killed gets mocked.
You get jaded pretty quickly in the apocalypse.
Worm Girl enjoyers rejoice!

love the MotFD profile pic
I’m a real Wormgirl head™️
Not a firearm enthusiast personally, but I really enjoy the little history lessons about guns you find! I had no idea 9mm was that old!
Lugers used it in ww1
Same especially loved the F-N 5.7 info, coming from Tarkov I had no idea about any of this info and that’s one of my favorite guns loll.
I wasn't into guns until I started playing this game. Always more of a sword fan. Now I watch every Brandon Herrera and Garand Thumb video. I really like how complicated these things are without any electronics whatsoever. Pretty much the only machines I can think of which still see innovation without having a computer other than the bicycle.
Yeah i didnt expect it at all. It was a pleasant surprise
Mellifera being so anxious about meeting someone that she briefly considers reading a a car buyer’s guide and practicing her social skills in the mirror is incredible. Adore the work you do.
"No, there are not menstruation mechanics in the game."
someone with 4 hours of free time and knowledge: are you sure about that?
SOMEONE STOP THAT MAN! HE'S ABOUT TO MAKE A MENSTRUATION MOD!
*someone else with(...)
My post apocalyptic fantasy is ruined.
Fairly certain the lead devs have vetoed menstruation and body waste
It's been vetoed by the mods, but if having "comfort items" like pads (women only) or TP and deodorant (everyone) when you rested consumed them and helped your character somehow (staying clean and happy, or at least having those go down slower) I think it would be the ideal middle ground and actually a pretty good mod.
The last encounter in the parking lot is exaclty WHY in CDDA you should always carry a firearm as soon as you find one, they really are a get-out-of-jail free card for situations way beyond your capabilities. And, if your gun still doesn't do the trick, you were probably boned anyways.
I also like compacts simply because your sidearm in Cataclysm tends to be just that: A pistol you can keep on you when you drop your backpack and other gear to fight, so you can draw it quickly and shoot something unexpected you don't want to get close to. So a small, handy compact pistol tends to do the job best.
Cataclysm feels realer than real life, sometimes. Whenever I see the word "massachusets" or "lobster roll" I think "Oh my god is that a freaking cdda reference!?!?"
@Tucker454 as someone who lives in Massachusetts this is the funniest thing ever to me lol
@@TR-ru7wllmao
I found you through your Fear & Hunger stuff, and I love your method of storytelling. I'd love to see more from you!
Another great episode. Love you are explaining some of the more obscure mechanics as well that aren't as obvious to the newbie
Thanks! For some reason I have always loved explaining things to people. I have the knowitall gene or something.
@@mutantwormgirlwell it is very much appreciated
Really felt the tension at the end and it's easy to see how our punk rocker had started to panic. Loved the episode as always.
This is such a great series.
I really like what you did with the dialogue sequence
Yeah nice subtle addition of reverb in the cave dialogue
I am extremely happy to have found this channel. Came in on the Fear & Hunger vids and then found CDDA on here? Goddam! This series even taught an old timer like me a couple things. The SD card thing is amazing to learn after half a decade of playing this game. XD
Glad to hear both are working for you. I sometimes wonder if I'm splitting up my content a bit too much, but hey if Ambiguousamphibian can do it, why not me?
I didn’t understand why ASMR was so popular until I listened to Worm Girl give me a firearm history lesson
Looks like you hit 30k while I was binging these excellent videos. Congrats!
Thank you! I'm about to post another one, RUclips's taking a bit longer than normal to run its checks but it should be up within the next half hour.
Imagine my delight to see another episode of our mall-queen's story.
As a European with zero gun knowledge the info sections on guns is both informative and hilarious.
I greatly look forward to these! The gun history is fascinating, the gameplay tips are useful, and I really wanna shout out how good the conversation with the NPC was. They can feel really nonsensical and you navigated it really well.
Yay flu shot! Getting a cold is soooo annoying, especially if you get unlucky really early on.
Baseball bats of all stripes are awesome defensive weapons (find good ground, wait for the enemy to come to you - the knockback will throw them off of rubble or car wrecks and cause them to have to approach for 400 move cost again and again), I racked up about a thousand plus kills in my most recent run.
Yay another episode!!! AND as a bonus I get a neat lesson on the FN 57.
I love your content, looking forward to more!
Ok... I want more of your content. All of it. Its all amazing.
I hope there's a lot more of these in the future! Been learning a lot from this
The next one's all recorded and about halfway done with editing. Should be a day or two before it drops.
I love the series, the mechanical break down, and NOW the gun lore!
Worm girl your the best CDDA player by far. And I know you wear your sunglasses at night lol 😎
Not wearin' them then is a crime, for sure.
Perfect timing for breakfast enjoyment, thanks!
This got me into cdda, thank you
I'm glad you didn't stop with the channel. thanks as always
This is such an awesome series! The game mechanics breakdowns, the gun lore, the RP! All top notch.
so glad you've gotten to devote more time to making videos. when I first found your channel, I was worried I wouldn't see any more videos from you!
I’m so happy you are making this series. I love Cataclysm but have never been this proficient in the game’s mechanics. You are a wonderful entertainer and teacher.
Thabk you so much! There is no other game quite like Cataclysm, and I'm finding it's as much a joy to teach as it was to learn.
I absolutely love this series :) I always get so so so excited when I see an upload from you pop up!
Hello seeing your videos from Paraguay 😊
I love this series and am always glad to see another of your vids on my feed. Thanks for another exciting episode :D
I'm so glad this is back, I've been waiting! Great content
I just want to say I really like your narrative style with this Let's Play. I just started playing CDDA a couple days ago, and your tutorial videos were very helpful. The way you narrate these Let's Plays in detail allows me to listen to them in the background at work, and I still have a pretty good idea of what's happening, even if I can't see the screen.
Man that parking lot encounter was super tense, happy to see Melli make it out in one piece.
Thks & quite well-done.
I love this series, I hope to see plenty more to come!
That Skyrim reference lol
I used debug to build several apartment buildings for the NPCs I rescued. Yesterday I realized I accidentally killed half of them and saved without realizing it 😢
I know nothing about guns save what little I’ve learned from Payday 2, and all I remembered when you found the 5/7 was that it was one of the few guns that could punch through a riot shield. Appreciate the lessons tho!
Ingame at least the 5.7mm is situationally useful, the armour piercing capability is very useful to have if you're fighting armoured opponents but it's generally wasted on zombies compared to the far more common or more powerful options available.
Also to be honest most of the stuff that has armour you probably don't want to be in pistol range of anyway.
Thank you for the video.
Good video, and as usual the music adds a great touch to any situation it touches.
Considering the zombies poor Melli ran into, I gotta say it. Forgive me.
REMIND YOURSELF THAT OVERCONFIDENCE IS A SLOW AND INSIDIOUS KILLER.
Love the series!
Thank you for the video
I've been binge-listening the series and I am really pleasantly surprised you really know your weapons!
binging this and learning about guns thank you for your service ma'am worm girl
O, blessed are we to receive additional Cataclysm. I give my thanks, and sacrifice my words to Mighty Algoritmos so that he might spread this video amongst the people.
So good!
Great series and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one
just a warning to anyone thinking buying the steam version, the admins there are purging any thread that bring criticism our mention the free version, i literally got banned for that
Yet another Worm Girl video lets fucking goooooooooo!
Just discovered your channel, it's pretty cool to get to see someone play instead of my usual experience which generally involves dying in the first 48 hours. Also I totally wish I had your pretty voice if you know what I mean? ;)
This too shall pass, given enough time and effort.
Sounds like someone's vision isn't augmented!
nghhh...need augs....
ps is that a candlebury/vapour-1 pfp?
@@mutantwormgirl ye they're all the rage over on the devcord. maleclypse, aerin and others all have em regularly lmao
Always great to see cataclysm youtubers rising in popularity
cant wait for the next episode!
🪱 time yet again.
Such an intense ending
I've watched through this whole (as of now) Let's Play after Miro retweeted one of your Fear and Hunger videos. I've really enjoyed it! I love Cataclysm DDA but I rarely have the patience to play it well. The presentation here is really excellent.
I fuckin love this series
Also, I loved the cheeky little Corey Hart reference you slipped in there with the eye encumberance :P
I personally have a bit of a soft spot for the FN 5.7, it's the "Punisher" handgun in Resident Evil 4, and the interesting history of it, makes it one of my favorites, along with the P90, which uses the same ammo type. Oooh an aluminum bat, now that feels very punk, along with the sleeveless coat. >:D
Was very surprised by your gun knowledge your very interesting
Thanks! I find the history and engineering that goes into them fascinating. They're tools that have shaped and reshaped our modern world for better and for worse, but it can be easy to just gloss over them.
i see wormgirl uploading me be jumping in to watch the good series :)
NEW UPLOAD LESS GOOOOOOOOOO
Skub changed my life, thanks to it I got cured of terminal illness
Thanks for the content! Oh and I do like the use of metric. :). Your explanations are great l. Oh, do you play the game alone? When I play at night I kind of get freaked out. Lol.
Quality content.
The top hat zombie got me good, this game is awesome
Ayy neato! 7th installment!
That figurine looks really awesome :O
Also a little heads-up given you have updated the game (and unsure if people mentioned in other videos), regarding calories and weight:
- The calories/nutrition system update may have broken a few people's characters given the threshold for when one changes "category" were raised (e.g.: "normal" to "overweight"), some people may have found themselves in "underfed" or "underweight" situations, very very deep into them in fact. If it starts being a problem for you, the best way to fix it is to reset needs in the debug menu (or alternatively award your character 90k calories so it is back to normal weight, close to overweight.)
On a small side note, you can sort the items in your "V"(Look Around) and AIM menus by hitting "s". Helps a lot when looking for specific things (it is also much more visually appealing when looking through loot). On the [g]Pickup Menu you can use ";" to change the "hierarchy" too (i.e.: How items are displayed).
As for the bugout bags I think there was a recent PR (unsure if it was merged or not) that severely changed loot tables and nerfed the amount of zombies that may have them too.
EDIT: Re-Temperatures:
The cold/chilly also comes from the sweating your character produces when "exercising" / fighting, or from bleeding too. Limb Score matters as well, but your limbs didn't seem to be damaged enough to count towards it yet.
Well, yeah, Mellifera doesn't wear sunglasses at night, her vision isn't nano-augmented...yet.
The horeforge mini rocks! I love using it to help bring my character designs more real.
When I was a kid, I totally would have had a book on something random like home distillation in my backpack, so this makes sense to me.
I believe it’s supposed to be a reference to a clockwork orange
I'll never be upset by people shoving rifle rounds in a pistol.
Surviving a mall parking lot is something I've never managed to do before. Then again, I've never tried a mall start before. Usually getting near them is trouble enough.
Interesting history on the 5.7, on an unrelated note, are there older guns in CDDA or only newer ones? Specifically something like the M1 or Mosin Nagant, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for WWII era weapons, my first gun was actually a Mosin Nagant.
Yes, there is a Mosin rifle in the game indeed. But the ammo is quite rare: so far I've only found 1 (one) 7.62x54mmR cartridge.
There are old guns in the game as well as near future weapons.
Weapons from the 1600s are even included!
I see a fair number of MP40s and Kalashnikovs, and sometimes Thompsons and M1 Garands. They try to make them about as common as they are IRL in New England. I'm sure there are some other WW2 guns. Oh also there are tons of M1911s.
@@mutantwormgirl interesting, I’d think the Mosin would be a little more common along with it’s ammunition due to the fact that it used to cost about eighty dollars (now eight hundred unless you can find a good deal) and, at least prior to the Ukraine invasion, the ammo was cheap and plentiful, at least as long as you didn’t mind firing corrosive rounds. The 1911 make’s sense, after all it’s helped win two world wars.
There's older, namelu flintlock arms as well as blunderbusses (like the founding fathers intended)
Commenting for engagement
Chips png caught me off guard. I might have done a little snort laugh...
37:03 Feel free to screenshot
dude, GIRL !
I LOVE YOUR VIDS TO BITS !
LETS FUCKING GO NEW VID
Hell yes.
Hi from YNAO
34:40 He have a crossbow... If he meet me hi will be dead😈
Just catching the playlist link at the end with the thumbnail from the first vid it's wild how your character is already a far cry away from that first day. First time a gun has gone off since that episode too, I think?
One time i used the blood filter cbm and it removed my vaccinated effect, hell of a filter that thing must have.
You just know somebody's gonna clip "Cheese" or "Sausage" for a soundboard.
Archery seems really effective, but the lack of any real backup plan made me wince a few times.
peanuts
Well, there was a backup plan after all. A 9x19mm one. It worked. :)
Never before have i thought about detonating a car to get some parts quickly. Then again with this many meteores... i swear one have fallen on a farm house i spawned in.
Hurrah for another wormgirl upload!
you can't just drop Zombies ate my neighbors on me man, I feel myself ageing in seconds.
PBF comic fam!
The daytime parking lot was really scary to watch! I have horrible luck with grabs, I get grabbed once, and then I can not break free unless I kill the zombie grabbing me. So if there are multiple zombies I always get crushed ^_^; Because of this I pretty much only use spears unless I can get zombies isolated.
With current changes the grabs are ungodly overpowered. Between nearly unbreakable grabs (even 14 str does not guarantee success) and cheap "free action" grabs (basically, a Z can grab for 0 moves as it gets adjacent) being grabbed by more than one Z is a death sentence.
The devs are working on the issue, but there is no ETA.
@@XelexMirror I was not aware of the "free action" grab, but that explains a lot of odd cases where I thought I would have time to step away but ended up grabbed anyways. Good to know, thank you!
I don't care what anyone says, getting all that 5.7 ammo for free would make the apocalypse worth it
Yay
I don't typically care about guns, but for some reason I enjoy you talking about them. I think I fall on the eurotrash side of the FN debate! Also, how much of the quest you found was made up by you? I haven't played a ton but the most intricate quest I ever received was to find some particular object and wasn't imaginative
You can use * to favorite items. You wont transfer them in advance menu when you transfer all. you have to manually move the. great for keeping you "gear set" and being able to dump everything else.
Auto pickup for "arrow" would make life easier as well..
Thanks, I'll give that a look.
The fact that there are tampons in the game (but apparently not useful for their original intention) made me realize how much more fucked this sort of survival situation would be for people who have menstrual cycles. Not to mention specific issues like having heavy bloodflow or strong menstrual pain every month, or if someone had endometriosis. Plus irregular cycles due to stress and not getting enough food... As if it wasn't already a pain in the ass in regular life 😂
I've heard it's already an issue for homeless women to get regular access to tampons and other hygiene products...
The 5.7 has a buff against poor people and a debuff to the small handed XD
I've heard people say it's too chunky for comcealed carry, too. I love the p90 but the Five-seveN feels kinda like they just really wanted to make a pistol for their round whether it was practical or not.
@Worm Girl I've heard similar issues with specific holsters needed for the F7 due to its bulk , and difficulty remaining inconspicuous. On a side note , the P90 and Ps90 get a similarly divided love and disdain for being bullpups that also use this expensive cartridge. (Personally I've loved the p90 for years) I also can't shake the feeling that you might be right. It does feel like the F7 was made for the addition of the pistol rather than applying the practicality of the pistol.
@@mutantwormgirl that's exactly what happened. The NATO spec required a pistol chambered for the round in addition to a PDW
@@Inglonias Ha, that makes sense.
