Today we head back to the island to report what we saw to Nestor. Poor guy seems pretty rattled.

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/
Today's music is from CO.AG, packaged with the game's CC-Sounds pack. / @co.agmusic
Also slipped Hivemind from the Dead Space OST in there, and the intro is of course from Return of the Living Dead.

23:20 - why you should never turn your back on the Color Generator in DaVinci Resolve.
I know it was a coincidence of procedural generation, but the minefield/gun line being pointed *at* the ruined evac shelter instead of away from it is A+ environmental storytelling.
I'm glad someone else got a chuckle out of it. Especially with the DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE it sorta paints a picture.
Melli:sees incomprehensible eldritch nightmare responsible for the collapse of human civilization
"So anyways I start blasting"
I was really caught off guard by an encounter with a mysterious impossible shape that hurts to look at or think about, followed by shooting it with a gun until it collapsed; I wasn’t expecting an Otherside Picnic reference.
Another banger episode. I'm not super familiar with cataclysm beyond the early game, so the sudden shift into eldritch horror actually caught me off guard.
Nestor's negatives was the game's way of saying "Never play without 'Disable NPC Needs' ". That'd be one hell of a challenge character though, and my love of smocking racks might just push me that way.
I got into Cataclysm because of your videos after finding my way here via Fear & Hunger. My current character is a former landscaper who woke up in a mansion basement. There were a pair of feral humans wearing suits of cheap plate armour down there -- poor quality, but impenetrable with the gardening machete he still had on him -- so he had to desperately skulk his way around to find the stairs up, stuffing whatever handfuls of food or small practical tools he could find into his pants along the way. He had no combat training, only decent physical fitness from the manual labour of his job, so any scuffles he got into would be a trade of flesh for space.
He stumbled up the stairs and out an open window, sprinting into the forest until he was sure he was no longer being followed. He had a little food on his person, but no potable water. He'd have to simply limp through the trees, up a road and along a hiking trail, and hope he found sanctuary before sunset. He was immensely lucky to find an abandoned hunting lodge.
There's something enchanting about the way this game creates those little organic storytelling moments.
Loving it. Nestor got smacked half a map tile and gets up and comes back for more what a fucking dude. Last time I had a brute wallop me it sent me through 2 layers of sandbags and a window. Thank fuck for US Army vests and Sapi plates.
I wasn't expecting portals into non-eccludian space! When Mel started feeling a pulse, I expected it to be some sign of an infection, that she might have gotten infected by the big, beefy infected that nearly took her and Nestor down. Always an instant watch, whenever one of these goes up, and I can't wait for the next one, along with anything else you throw our way!
I always love when cdda randomly does setup and payoff. With the newspaper -> storm thing. I’ve never actually been able to find the center of the storms before, kind of a shame it’s just another vortex enemy haha. I think I saw people talk about how the storms had good loot but I think maybe they were lying.
No, it is not. Worm Girl just randomly shot an ordinary enemy ("absence") way after the actual storm had ended (see wheather field by that time) just for dramatic effect. I bet she tried to find the center, but had no luck this time.
@@XelexMirror I see lol, convenient timing with the end of the storm then
The storm moves so getting to the center of the storm isn't always easy now. And Rycon just did an episode where they entered the eye of the storm. So it's definitely a major thing.
This entire series has been fantastic, but dropping a "It's a clear, crisp spring morning" gave me a hearty chuckle.
Excellent use of the Fear and Hunger soundtrack in this episode
What an incredible episode. The moment with the zombie that walloped Nestor and whatever the hell was going on with the Impossible Shapes and the portal thing got me REALLY tense. Loving these videos so much
Fear and hunger sound track actually fits perfectly to CDDA! Good vid as always!
Nestor getting decked so unbelievably hard, and getting back up to keep fighting? He is a fuckin champ, I hope he continues to survive.
Always happy to see a new Worm Girl vid
I am loving this series. I watched all the episodes so far in a few days. I really like the style of your videos. I think it was mentioned before being both informational and entertaining. I can't wait to see more.
My happiness is imesurable and my day is saved. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah, this is what I was waiting for!
The refugee center always spawns so far away for me...
"They're not the toughest guys around"
They appear to be the only guys around lol
Loving the series
This got a good chuckle out of me. And thanks! More coming as soon as I finish this other video I'm working on.
I pull up a chair and some snacks every time one of these comes out, they're actually Kino.
this episode was so intense i loveddd it. i can’t wait for the next one 😩
Once again very hype, thank you keeping this series going.
Good timing, just binged all the non-CDDA content waiting for new drop
BABE NEW CATACLYSM DROPPED
Binged the first 13 episodes and just now remembered this series, glad to see that I got 2 new episodes to enjoy :3
Your storytelling is amazing as always
those fear and hunger soundtrack addition is 👌
Wow I cannot BELIEVE the perfect foreshadowing in that portal newspaper.
I started my own playthough a few days ago. Haven't in years. Portal storms didn't exist back then. One just hit me as I played earlier today. Was... an event. I love things like that. Reminded me of vintage story. Then you got one haha, great timing. Glad I got to see it on my own unaware first. I wound up killing the absence too. No idea that was what ended it.
honestly really hyped to see this series continue! Vibes are immaculate
I was just watching some old episodes and very much hoping a new one would come out soon. So thank you for continuing this project. It's by far the best CDDA content I've seen.
wohooo new episode lets goooo. on anothe note you seem to have a taste for underrated games, so i whole heartly recommend Void Stranger, it will blow your mind in more ways that one
What a disturbing soundtrack for the portal storm! :D Good job
Another excellent episode, always really happy when one of these drops ^^
of course, the night I stay up playing cdda, the next day I sleep in past a worm girl upload! once again fantastic episode and major props to the dope ass fanartist
Good something to watch when I am properly awake in 6 hours time 😏🙏🤣
The latter part of this video just goes to show that the soundtracks for both Fear and Hunger games are super effective at delivering a surreal and oppressive atmosphere
lol. Interesting how Kirk got into the BACK seat...almost like he had a premonition. hehehe
Perfect time for a new cataclysm video
WOOOOHOOOO!!! Another cataclysm episode!
Master of CDDA is back
You got some good luck with that Brute. I usually flee those bastards until the mid game. Late game, they're not much of a muchness, but then again they come in with Onii San Kevlar Hulk and Ojisan Skeletal Juggernaut ready to isekai you out of this life.
Juggernaut-kun...
@@mutantwormgirl Help me, step-Juggernaut, I'm stuck in the Cataclysm!
Hell yeah, been craving this! Can't wait to watch!
hell yeah, love this series
I liked the part where you lived out the Canadian Dream and sent a goose back to hell.
Great series 👏
oh boy its getting good now :)
can't wait for the next episode.
2:43
*Your reminder to wear your seat-belt and watch the road*
Real survivors always remember to buckle up.
What a coincidence, I'm playing right now
Huge fan of these, just got caught up
so tense. pure horror
9:35 ducks bite
I love your videos, they got me into playing cdda! I like how you rp so much in them. What tile set and soundpacks do you use?
msxotto+ for the tiles. For sound it's usually @'s soundpack, but here I was using cc-sounds for some reason.
*9:35* Foie Gras for dinner!
14:48 Hippity Hoppity Get out of my Property
Epic, not only does helldivers 2 release today, we also get an episode of CDDA.
Peak editing
This is awesome! I wasn't expecting more so soon.
question for you - what tilesets are you using for the Map mode? hordes for me have the "no tile" symbol on it and it bugs me to no end.
I believe she's using Chibi Ultica. Could be Undead People though.
blessed day
She's baaaaack!!!
sick
might make me get this game
It's free! Head over to cataclysmdda.org to check it out.
You ever join up with a cute punk girl who killed an eldritch horror for you, and then get sucker punched a distance the length of a football field? The journey to the Refugee Shelter is gonna be TOUGH. The peeps there are either going to see ragged survivors on their last legs walk through those doors, OR 3+ doomguys/gals/pals
Ooh a new worm girl video
Dammit I’m engrossed
Have you been updating the game as the Lets Play continues, or are you locked into a particular version of the game at this point?
Updating a current series without making sure you have a backup save isn't a great recommendation. Most long running series makers don't update unless it has a major fix they need. Only Vormithrax would update before each Stream Cause he's nuts and does short (sorta) runs. But he's on Hiatus atm.
WORM GIRL RULES
Just wait 'til the day comes when our characters have to fend off bee-barking dogs: ruclips.net/video/nlIQ2KCYG7Y/видео.html
Part of me wanted to know why we were shooting the "shapes"... the other part of me felt it was completely justified regardless, since I had a feeling we didn't wanna see what would happen if we didn't
We were shooting the shapes for roleplay. ;) Love this detail.
All of those zombie corpses in the mall aren't a good thing...
Some big insects might be interested in all of those undead meat lying around...
I have an idea for how to code something like this, but it's a tremendous job and I don't think my skills are quite up to snuff yet.
Of course you had to use *that* track from Termina.
Washingmachinecore
And they said twinks couldn't survive the apocalypse.
Hey Worm Girl, when are we gonna see a deep dive into Carnival Phantasm's Berserker's First Errad? 😄
I like these videos and all...
But where those Fear and Hunger videos at?
WormGirl you are too kond!
new worm girl!!!!! lets fucking gooooooooo
Oh geez, that moment with the brute was close.
WOOORRRRMMMMM GIIRRRLLL
Yayayyayayayyy!!!! New video!!!!!!!!1!1!1!
wibbily wobbly
Worm girl content is superior
Oha yeah
CDDA's mapgen leaves a lot to be desired.
I hate it when the roads and bridges lead you to nowhere significant, kinda ruins the immersion.
please add it to your cdda playlist
Done! Thanks for letting me know about that.
BURU NYAA
hey worm girl you should consider lvling up throwing and making a sling or just throwing rocks, very cheap way to get rid of boomers or even clear small groups
WORM UP!
Eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension? Nothing a glock can't fix.
"Lifestyle: Feel Bad"
Nestor, the most relatable character.
This episode has like 2k views less than the next one because people don't like him as much as Mel in the thumbnail, lol.
@@mutantwormgirl
He's *too* relatable. They see themselves, and recoil.
Hi worm girl
I just finished watching all 16 episodes. I'm amazed how much you know about all types of guns. Do you look it up after recording the video, or you just like guns?
I noticed you manually pick up arrows after you shoot them. Is it on purpose? I added arrows to auto pickup list, but since you need to check each corpse for loot anyway, it's not that important, only saves a bit of time. I also have auto butchering on, but all those auto actions lower my immersity in the game.
You can add items in your inventory to favorites, which colors them and (somehow) prevents accidentally dropping them.
I see you often use the search option to pick items. It's pretty cool you actually remember all the names of the items in your inventory.
I usually adjust a letter to my most used items. For example my backpack is set to "B", so when I need to drop it before a fight, I just press (d)rop then (B).
The fast forward in videos I don't mind, but when you are looting, I usually can't see the names of items, so it would be nice if you voiced out at least the most notable ones, or their type.
I'll be waiting for the next episodes.
