Welcome to a roleplay-oriented Let's Play of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. This time, we're taking on the role of Mellifera Kraus, a punk rocker who finds herself stranded in her town's mall in the midst of the apocalypse. Can she make it out, or will she join the ranks of the living dead?
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/
Faces in the intro are from thispersondoesnotexist.com/
Music is from CO.AG, packaged with the game's CC-Sounds pack / @co.agmusic

Yes! Finally! There's been no other Cataclysm youtuber that can scratch the same itch as Rycon -- none of them take the game seriously from the character's perspective, which I think is the most interesting part of CDDA. Please continue this!

@jonathanroberts8855 Год назад

i literally stuck around when i detected the Rycon vibe thats present with this video.

@iamnickdavis Год назад

Rycon is a special person. I wonder if a multiplayer collaboration could workout, like 2 player cdda rycon meets worm girl.

@tofu1608 Год назад

I agree! Went through all of Rycon's videos and was surprised because I usually don't watch that much. But I listen to/watch these while working and it's great.

Oh my gosh, welcome! You're actually the one who got me back into Cataclysm. I played a long time ago when Whales was coding it in the 00s, but then I forgot about it for years and years until I stumbled across your Elliot playthrough. I've been a big fan of both your videos and CDDA ever since!

@Shayoni Год назад

a journey has brought me here. I saw a super eyepatch wolf video about fear and hunger. which I had never heard of, never played and never will but the lore got me curious. So I did a search and watched both your videos on it. And said to myself, "she has a nice narrator's voice, what else is here" and here you are playing something else I've never heard or and won't ever play, but your style of story narration was amazing and I'm definitely going to watch some more. Awesome work~

Most of the comments seem to be from people who are already big fans of Cataclysm and other youtubers of the game. I just want to say, I had never heard of this game until stumbling upon your channel, but the way you play it makes it feel very approachable and your style of storytelling and commitment to it makes the video very appealing even for someone with no experience with this game. Great job!

@Cuthawolf Год назад

Really enjoyed this, you hit the sweet spot of just enough Narration without it being too much or too little. The fight in the Gun Store felt very tense.

You know what the gun store fight made me think of at first? that scene in Zombieland where the guy has weapons and clips set all around him on the counters. Instead of reloading half the time he just picked up new guns.

INCREDIBLE! A lot more close calls than I would have been comfortable with - I for sure would have panicked and backed myself into a corner. When you were pinned in behind one of the store counters I thought you were done for... but you recovered and made it look easy.

I've been looking for an LP of Cata dda with a good presenter like you, for a very long time. I used to play it way back but has since then developed schizophrenia and can't, for now, play for myself. This is exactly what I need while institutionalized, long quality videos from a unique person. I love that you sometimes go in on the details of items as that was always my favorite. When I saw just now that they even show the millimeters of thickness of leather the item is made from I swooned a little. If you ever read this, Thank you for doing this. It means a lot.

@bellduke6417 Год назад

Got in for the fear and hunger lore dissection, subscribed for the best cataclysm I’ve ever seen. What made me subscribe is the way your making the most vanilla parts of cataclysm super interesting and explains why the actions you are taking are smart. The most tense part for me wasn’t the zombie shootout, it was the realization that you locked yourself in a store with a zombie mob outside. But it was the smart way you prepared for the showdown. Loving the way you make a seemingly unoptimized starting character feel incredibly strong, by playing very smart, not unwilling to take risks, but systemically stacking the odds in your favor. Great editing too.

Having watched the video now can say you have a great flair for making things exciting. Having played this game a lot I would never have tried what you did and would have taken the 9mm pistol and run only to risk everything on being able to squeeze past the hordes to the exit. Not only did you do what I thought was a death sentence, you made it look easy too.

Thanks! I sound pretty confident in the narration but I was pretty sure I was gonna game over at a couple of spots.

I have yet to run into someone that portrays a storyteller type of game as a storyteller other than ambiguous amphibian, but even his own stories have a few too many degrees of separation.

As a very experienced cdda player, I love the addition of shotgun model pictures etc. I am sure that can help people visualize their character, their weaponry and all. This super helps with immersion. I remember googling these shotguns to see how they look, because you know.. Fashion is more important than stats, even during the apocalypse. Dress the part, act the part. My mink fur coat is a far superior winter apparel to the winter army jacket with an esapi vest. It's just more.. dignified. Yes.. I have the "stylish" trait, how did you know?

I was initially somewhat hesitant to watch someone play CDDA that wasn't Rycon, but I'm really glad I did. This has been very enjoyable, I very much appreciate your willingness and attention to detail when showing off the various firearms that this game has lovingly reproduced to the best of their ability. The pictures of each gun and weapon go a very long way to show how different a weapon is vs just "some other handgun or shotgun". Look forward to seeing more. :D

I then ran a randomly generated character and tried to run with that but I quickly learned that there's a lot in the game I don't know how to figure out myself.
