- Holed up in the back rooms, Mellifera takes some time to make her hideout more homey with some much-needed additions. She also becomes a certified gamer and does a little exploring.
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 2023-01-31 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

Worm fights forty zombies: 😕
Worm plays minesweeper: 😱
The incorrect mine on the bottom left was killing me lol
"There are zombies outside and we're craving nicotine, but we're gonna ignore all that and just push through."
Too relatable
Rise. And. Grind.
Im not usually one to comment on youtube channels, but I just feel the need. Girl I fucking love this. Idk why, I have no interest in Cataclysm as a player but the mix of the roleplay focus and tutorial style of your play-through somehow like gripes me in a vice in a world where I haven't really watched a lets play in years. I really hope this continues even if this doesn't end up one of your most popular series. I adore it and I'm so weirdly invested in the shared story of this little goth wall goblin living in a mall. Thanks for your hard work!
Big same, this sums up my experience too. Though my partner plays this game and wants me to start too, however I prefer watching let's plays with narration of this wonderful game. Also love the vibe here. I don't like the other ones just worm girl
4:56 - WALL GOBLIN MODE ENGAGED!
I am so happy this has turned into a goblin series
This is such a charming series. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Alright! Glad to see this again. Though question... can she really be certified without some mountain dew in her backroom home?
I like this. Feels like the best of both technical expertise and narrative driven. A good balance when it comes to CDDA.
What a way to celebrate O.G’s release but with a great video like this!
O.G’s release when?
@@Dodara87 it’s out!
Absolutely loving this series so far! I'm actually enjoying this more than any of Rycon's series for some reason - I think it's the combination of a slightly less Serious:tm: and more fun narration style that still keeps in mind the characters as people, and doing a better job showing off the game mechanics to an inexperienced player like me.
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Rycon so that's high praise. I'm glad to hear we come across differently stylistically too - there's not a ton of Let's Roleplay content out there so it's important to keep it diverse.
5:23 it's the same bear trap; it fell out of your bag, or from whatever strap it was strapped to. When you drop something that way it should really be more prominent, I think, not just a quiet message you don't notice.
It's back! I am so happy! As I continue watching I might timestamp comments below. Already one of the better first few episodes in any Cataclysm series I know.
18:34 I have been so immersed I forgot to comment XD. The improvements to this skill were very needed, it was underwhelming if you weren't swimming or parkouring. I like the reassurances you give with things like the battery because in my games I am always very concerned with efficiency and both never lacking resources and not reaching the final boss with half the game's items left over.
20:42 Ah they come preinstalled. Is there any benefit to having more than one song on the laptop? Do you consume them, or need to cycle them?
24:16 Logical Deduction: The Game. I love commentated Minesweeper. It's great.
34:19 PFFFFFFFFF. Hilarious. Probably not as good as my favourite local argentine pizzeria called La Mezzetta, but it's a start.
35:16 It's a good flyer, especially with how the economy is going. I like that you take the time to look at these.
36:33 GGWP, WG. See you next time!
Yeah, 'fresh' songs and photo's are more of a mood bonus, same with pictures, the numbers do get 'used' photos at an average of 8 I think? Not real sure about music, I assume they get 'stale' after a while and need fresh songs to add to the mix. Recipes don't seem to care if the computer/e-tablet is on to use them as long as they are in range it seems.
Loving the series. WG has a way of breathing life into her characters. Good writing really helps one get invested in the characters.
Anyone know what tileset/sound pack is this?
The tileset is MSXotto+ which comes with the game, and I'm using @'s soundpack, which you can google for.
Came to this channel from the Fear and Hunger videos but now I'm hooked on this series. Keep up the great work!!!
Absolutely love the series! The narration feels like it comes straight out of a D&D campaign.
God, it's been such a long fucking time, but Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains" seems to be stuck in my head as I watch this. It really is a phenomenal mix of roleplay and tutorial, and I adore every moment of this series.
Thank you for this!
Been looking forward to this~
Something about your voice and the way you narrate and explain brings me good feelings, and the background story that is being woven makes me wonder how this character is going to comprehend/perceive the cataclysm. ^ ^
As a note I did enjoy your recent Fear & Hunger story video too. Well done.
You have such an endearing voice, listening to you at work is helping me keep conscious.
My mother worked for the probation service when I was growing up and it was always drilled into be that the front door stays locked unless you are actively going through it…. I don’t think this is the reason she wanted the door closed but it still works
Iv heard a legend about worm girls, inhabiting walls of every mall. They steal to survive and play games to pass time. Noone knows whats their deal is, since they only scream "damn z's" at everybody
There are so many humans on this earth and you are one of my very favourite.
Keep this series going ! it’s amazing, i’m just getting into Cataclysm and your videos are a good start :)
I've learned to survive much better because of these videos!
Found you from something awful, adore your stuff here and I hope you keep going. Got me in for the long-haul, you scratch an itch a bit more than Rycon and I do hope you keep posting in the thread and encouraging fan-art and other things there!
I’m also enjoying your playthrough.
Loving the series. I had stumbled ag random over your fear and loathing lore video. You earned yourself a sub.
Still the best C:DDA content on the tube! Your narration is really engaging.
Love your videos. Very long and calm yet interesting. Perfect to watch while doing anything on the side
3am and I can’t stop watching.
What a fun series so far! Thank you for sharing.
5:15 I mean... Gotta get the waiter's attention somehow in those fancy places.
lol.
Extremely fun and good. I was surprised how fun the in game gaming was
Love your content! I play the game while watching/listening to your videos!
Im really enjoying this series. This is the cataclysm vids i crave
The lore thickens! I'm hooked!
Heh, Mell's something of a packrat ain't she?
lol wonderful series!
It's extra funny now that the game has individual pockets instead of a floating inventory. Stuff winds up shoved into every nook and cranny of your outfit.
I'm more surprised what will fit in the pockets more than anything
Love the videos!
This game has a brutal learning curve and your videos help. Thanks!
Ah finally a Third episode Time to Fill my cravings
I found the narration of the game of Minseweeper hilarious😂
It's weird how many people don't understand how minesweeper logic works, but then again....I see the total lack of critical and logical thinking in the world right now....and then I just shake my head and stop wondering why. lol
Do you know that left bracket "(" shift+9 is dissassemble menu? You don't need to inspect item every time to deconstruct it. Also "%" shift+5 is "actions menu".
This game has so many buttons haha. I didn't know those two, I'll try to get used to using them, thanks!
@22:00 - Pretty sure that this is a reference to "Robot Wants Puppy", which had a number of sequels, like "Robot Wants Kitty", "Robot Wants Fish", etc., all of which were interesting platformer games.
So happy to see another episode! Thank you for your hard work!
This is a great series! I've never played CDDA, but this makes me want to start! Subscribed and in for the long haul.
discovered you today thanks to your breakdown of the original Fear and Hunger. Hyped to see more of these. I always wanted to get in depth into this game but got a little too gung ho and repeatedly died. That was maybe 5 years ago? Haven't had the time to get back into it since then.
So happy to keep watching this series! Looking forward to more!
I'm really enjoying this series and can't wait for the next episode! I'm really loving all your CDDA content and I'm excited to see where Mel's story goes. Long live the mall rats !
Came for the Fear and Hunger, but it looks like I'll be staying for Cataclysm!
Have you considered playing some Pathologic 2?
It's a great game, but it's so wordy that I'm worried it wouldn't be interesting for viewers. It'd just be me reading a lot of text and I'm not that good at doing voices.
Hope you reach the point where you can do these a little more often. Doing great so far!
Thanks! I'd be doing them more quickly but I am working on a gigantic Fear and Hunger 2 video at the moment and it's gummed up my workflow. It'll likely speed up once that's out.
Subbed, I'll be happy to see any more CDDA when you get around to it. You've got a great presentation style, immersive but also an informative tutorial 👌
Hey, I'm really enjoying your narrative storytelling :) The incites you come up with as you play CDDA, is really entertaining! Its like the person is talking to themselves, into a tape recorder as they are trying to survive. Like to leave a record or something. Great job!
Love the series. Please keep up the great work.
This is delightful content, time to binge.
please make more of these, loving the story telling :D need more art?
Art is always welcome!
Nice little cheeky reference to Pizza Tower there. Also M4 is indeed huge, plus I'm pretty sure 5.56 and .223 are compatible in the same way .357 and .38 special are. :D
I love these! I originally found you because of Termina, but I always liked Avaaks plays of this game….however you fill in something here that he was missing. The post commentary really lets you make this more of a story and less of a - well, commentary.
5:16 They got big rats there. Big rats need big traps ya see. Only way to get the lil' blighters
Subscribed for this content. Hope to see more Let’s Play for CDDA and similar games.
Wallet condom, lol. Really enjoying your playthrough so far!
ugh i even followed your channel and i still somehow missed this episode...for 3 whole weeks, please continue cdda stuff
I found ur channel thru fear and hunger story thing I AM SO HAPPY I DID
Explaining Minesweeper while explaining Cataclysm. I feel like I understand how to play Cataclysm now. But not Minesweeper.
Actually, even having said that, I correctly guessed which of the flagged spots were not mines. Go me! \o/
What a great series
Hey there worm, glad to see another episode. Same great quality as before, keep it up. The M4 drop was soooo lucky. Between that and your other guns you can probably clear a good chunk of the mall at this point. Can't wait to see what your next moves are.
68 bullets will vanish fast...those are likely gonna be used to do that final dash out of the mall to a working *hopefully* vehicle and escape!
Want more of this please!
This is really good!
❤ Loving the vids ❤ Have you ever thought about editing your own music in? Not that I don't love CO.AG's stuff but it could give some extra flare to some of the more impactful moments.
I should probably collect some more stuff that won't get content claimed just to spice it up a little.
My favourite minesweeper tutorial on youtube.
I have just now learned how to play minesweeper lol
i am so impress how familiar you are with game and type of guns :3
could really feel the tension during some of the fights, nice video and keep em coming these are great to watch just before bedtime :)
Yes! Another episode! Thanks for the great videos!
Oh no! The skirt got shredded! It had pockets!
More Cataclysm, hell yes!!
These rock! Can’t wait for more!
Working on it this week. A blue screen of death ate a bunch of progress but I'm caught up again. Should be just a day or three now.
Wow I can't believe you found a synthetic apriori truth!
Just found ya, and you made me pick up CDDA and Termina (playing them on Android though). You evil, evil person :p
CDDA on android is gigachad mode. I salute you lol, I could never play without a keyboard.
@@mutantwormgirlHackers keyboard and gamepad plus with gamepad macrobindings so I can play with a controller (tap R2 for cap, hold for shift, etc). Actually works alright.
And I ain't a Chad, I'm just learning from the best :p.
Yaaaay! New upload!
finally watching ep 3 with a freezing cold mcdonalds diet coke lets GOOOOOOOOO
"Mooooom, you don't get it! I need to play at least 2 rounds of minesweeper to improve my mood before I start doing any homework, otherwise my learning potential is not gonna be optimal!" 😠
If you're involved in coding at all, I would love to see a modding tutorial. You seem really detailed oriented and you're great at explaining stuff, so it would really help.
I have a mod for personal use but it's really slow trying to figure out how to do stuff. For example, most every time when I wanted an item to spawn from a group, it would spawn in a container, so if I tried to spawn 50 coffee powder in a backpack, it would spawn a backpack with 50 plastic bags, each containing 1 coffee. By examining the JSON for other groups I learned to use "containter-item": "null" to get rid of the plastic bags, and "entry-wrapper": "backpack" as a better way to get the items in the container I want. But there was nothing in the docs showing how to do that. There was no reference to using "null" for the container-item, and "entry-wrapper" was mentioned, but only as far as it existing, not what it does 🤷♂️
Anyway, just a thought. You seem really smart so maybe the programming element is what drew you to the game?
I do frequently contribute to CDDA, and I plan to do some video tutorials about it once I have some free time.
@@mutantwormgirl Awesome ♥
This kind of scenario is where I'd be most likely to die, my solution would be to try and find some "sprinting powder" and lure the Z out and away from the mall. As a great philosopher of old once said: "Gotta go fast!" :P
My happiness has returned.
that beartrap in the kitchen probably was to catch rats xd
I never thought of that, but that's hilarious. Animals started getting pretty big like 3 months before the game starts so that fits with the timeline.
This is some great shit. I hope for many many more!
I'm so bad at minesweeper lol. Knowing how to do it doesn't help much lol. I'm far too impatient X'D I do however love robot finds kitten.
Just found this channel and you're off to a great start
In this game one can quit smoking in just 4 days tops. If only it was so easy in real life😌
You can do it! Just think how much easier it will be to survive the cataclysm irl if you do.
@@mutantwormgirl Thankfully, I don't smoke. :) But I know a lot of people who do (and want to quit).
P.S. Also, in this game smoking makes you run faster, if "Smoker Zombie" is any indicator :P
I know Fear and Hunger gets more views but I really hope you continue this series.
I plan to, sorry to keep you waiting, I just had to grind that F&H2 video out and it was an enormous amount of work.
Amazing that they changed athletics, i always thought it was weird you couldnt really improve your stamina.
You can also improve your stamina, by doing active or extreme activitys every day in game. The longer you do that, the more stamina you get. I did not see a limit to it yet. I literaly doubled my stamia by doing active crafting, like blacksmithing, for 30 days.
I'd caution that the benefit is somewhat minor, like less than 10% on its own even at high levels, and is only noticeable when combined with good lifestyle bonuses etc. for higher cardio bonuses overall. Still, for the small amount of time it takes to improve it, it's really good
I'm p sure there's a sledgehammer in one of the busted shelves in the sporting goods store
I will give that a look, thanks! Sledgehammers are usually too heavy and awkward for use as a weapon unless your character has tons of stamina, but they can be handy against certain enemies or for destroying structures/furniture.
Im so down for the minesweeper interlude. This is nerdy as fuck.
I just actually watched someone play minesweeper
you don't need a hammer, just a tool with hammering quality 1. rocks and chunks of steel and I think even scrap metal work for that - just smash a locker or a metal rack.
faster than spending four+ hours getting string to craft a makeshift hammer
You need a tool with hammering 2 to make many essential items, including braziers. Rocks and pipes only have 1.
@@mutantwormgirl yeah, duh.
you're right and I knew that, dunno how I forgot. this is why I should pay more attention before trying to correct someone >.< regardless, I've been having a lot of fun watching these. glad to see another person doing RPs of this game. (and just another person bringing DDA to the masses since Vorm only ever has a few hundred viewers at most during his cdda streams)
thanks for the hard work. can't wait to see where it goes c:
Yeeee new episode!
Too bad there are not enough arrows (and no easy way to craft own). A shady moll would be an ideal hunting grounds for a novice archer with "compound hunting bow", considering most of the zombies are still in their basic form and lack any armor.
The bow would be nice but it actually makes a bit of noise and the mall is very very crowded with zombies in all directions. It's too slow to easily deal with groups in an environment like this, but down the line I'll be sure to try it out
@@mutantwormgirl Yes, true. Without a proper dampening kit a bow is kinda noisy. Nothing critical, though: your bow has base noise of 10 and a range of 18 (more with deluxe arrows), so it is easy to stay out of targets' hearing radius.
The lack of quiver, though is an issue. Taking each arrow from a backpack is slow (300+50 moves only for initial readiness without aiming). Quiver makes it 20+50 (plus another 130 moves for aiming), so roughly one shot every 2 seconds. And again, only 10+ arrows. Not enough.
This has to be the worst Minesweeper gameplay I've ever seen, you get a like and a sub.
I kinda wan't to try this game but it seems so difficult. If i download the game, will i see the tileset like yours or do i have to activate it?
You have to activate the tileset in the graphics tab in the options menu. It's called MSXOtto+ and it comes with the game, you just have to choose it from the list.
certified gaming
I feel like this game thrives on RP
doing little things your character does.
Which is where stuff without a good mechanical benefit like caffeine pills come in
Or collecting all the money you find
or making a pile of books
or storing SD cards in a locker.
It doesn't hurt you or anything, but it adds a little self-fulfillment to the character.
Like her beeing a Goth-punk. try keeping the aesthetics intact while still progressing self-defense normally.
Some things are more Goth-Punk than others. A Spear isn't very goth. Wooden armor isn't very goth.
You get the idea.
what tile set is that its like undead and MSX but some things are different
It's just MSXOtto+, the one that comes with the game.
