That Molly Moon Game | Excuse me, sir

[@gate3929]

I thought the opening was some really bizarre game cutscene but the reveal LOL

[@fitz_tits5965]

lmao i definitely thought it was a cold open to the game

Literally called events of our existence

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

Not having any idea who Molly Moon is, I was expecting another FMV game from the sega cd. Should've realized it was too high quality lmao.

[@Crim_5009]

I thought it was a cold open to the game’s intro cutscene 😂 I was expecting to hear Dan cut in with something like “what the hell is happening”

[@nate218]

The accuracy is insane 😂 "what.. IS this?"

[@emilyirish2794]

Me too!

[@TheAdorelis]

followed by Arin losing his shit

[@saucefreakystyle]

Which was even weirder for me since I knew what the game was supposed to be

[@Foggovor]

I thought so too! “Arin, what is this.” “Arin, what’s happening.” “Arin, what are we watching.”

[@mrrd4444]

The camera effect on the opening ad is so good... lots of media that tries to copy old media fails or looks a bit too new, but this looked real, I thought it was just recycled from some copyright free footage of that era

[@delphicdescant]

Imagine if they just used an actual old camera.

[@biscotti2]

@@Bloodshotistic Yeah, like Long Long Man!

[@hard.g0re]

You just pulled that outta my deepest mind

[@sofie4216]

So, Arin's accidentally right again, there is a storybook character called Molly Moon. There were like four books, shes a hypnotist and the covers all have a pug with ginormous eyes on it. Straight up that's what I thought this game would be about and I was really confused lol

[@attisaurusplex]

Omg, I'm so glad I wasn't the only one confused! I thought it was going to be about the novels too!

[@LadyE.m.u]

I thought it was about the books too

[@poggkimpan]

You mean Dan* is accidentally right again? He was the one who commented her name sounds like a storybook character in the beginning. He’s so good at these game predictions that it’s almost scary.

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

I mean, the girl in the game could easily be using hypnosis, and she does have big ass eyes, so maybe it’s a really abstract reference?

[@Narvre]

I dont think its really that crazy to take a very common name and very common word an make an alliterative name out of them. Im 100% certain there are multiple REAL people with the name Molly Moon, and its an extremely easy name to come up with. Molly Moon also actually started out as this chicks Porn name as she makes porn, which is even less surprising (not the porn part, the online name being Molly Moon sounds like a porn star name AND GUESS WHAT it is a porn star name).

[@sunnyd1722]

I’m glad they’re fighting to release Good Game.

[@magicalmysteryperson]

One day we'll be able to see the rest of that masterpiece for free..... One day....

I would love to see Dan having eternal nightmares from that game

[@bjhhb3143]

Airdorf is also a really awesome prof at Texas A&M

[@bjhhb3143]

OMG THIS IS A GAME MY PROFESSOR WORKED ON IM SO EXCITED The day before the game was published, he showed us the itch page in class to teach us about effective itch page designs. He’s a great professor, one of the best I’ve ever had, and great game dev and I’m so excited that Dan and Arin are playing this!

[@KreeZafi]

Bro I was so confused I thought this would be about Molly Moon the book character (the orphan girl who learns hypnosis), I loved those books as a child and was anticipating some lovely nostalgia lmao

[@edentitycrisis]

SAME I read them over and over as a kid. Now that I’m reminded of them I honestly want to reread them lol

[@sunblest]

When Dan said "sounds like a book character" I NEARLY SCREAMED

I was obsessed with that series in middle school and was so ready 😅

[@reaper23113]

Arin yelling "DONT LOOK AT MY COCK" completely out of nowhere almost killed me cuz I laughed so hard I choked

[@1WEareBUFO1]

Stop looking

[@Baelor_uwu]

That 80s style of video got me cracking up

[@Scrofar]

I thought the editor put in a clip from a public domain soap opera or something as a strange new video gag, and then the reveal hit me like a sack of bricks. Please never cease your promotional ingenuity.

[@Penquinn14]

They were weirdly oblivious to the fact the story was playing out completely different a few times. Arin fully opened the medicine cabinet in the bathroom to see actual contents and NOT a tunnel to escape, then closed it like "that's the escape so let's look around somewhere else"

[@M_Alexander]

[@Lny_Forner]

I was wondering why it sounded so creepy. Airdorf was in charge of the sound design. He's great. The FAITH series would be a perfect ghoul grumps series.

[@w.lester255]

Ok those two in the beginning really brought something special to that clip. The way the guy threw his hands, I thought "This guy must have some specific acting training from the 90s" 😆

[@thebigmystery7841]

I love the feel of this game. Its cheesy horror thats a bit creepy but doesnt go so far it loses the funny factor of it. I also love choose your own adventure style games so this like a blast.

[@faereman]

That intro got me, I thought it was the game and was expecting them to burst into laughter at any moment.

[@DanielBirrell]

That merch ad was so funny, after the confusion of course. 😂

[@AlexisH.JohnsonPlays-ts8cy]

That ad was so good that that's what everyone is talking in here in the comments, and I'm not complaining! imagine a real episode of that with just merch of game grumps lying around and/or arin and dan being background characters, talking about kissing the main character's dad haha

[@Darkfire7881]

The was arguably the best ad they've ever done. I genuinely thought it was a game cutscene but no, it was an ad

[@biscuitswhere]

Definitely excited for the next episode of ‘events of our existence’ i hear that next time he actually wears the shirt, just to prove his love for game grumps merch. I’m on the edge of my seat.

[@brianneruiz-mccarty9890]

He should wear the shirt over his white shirt cause he's still "in character" lol. Then Jennifer could wear the shirt in turn over her black dress.

[@strain42]

This game was basically the Adam Sandler's Grown Ups of video games. A bunch of arguably very talented people just really wanted to do a project together and have fun, and so they did...without actually caring if it was particularly good or if people would like it. And I guess Molly didn't like it since she left the project, but I know Airdorf said he might be willing to try and revive the idea with another leading lady.

[@MahouYousei]

They should try again with LukaBigPants. He's got the same retro horror game vibes that'd work for this kind of game!

[@k3nnyisaw3som3]

I definitely think they could've done much more with this game than what they did, but I understand in the case of just having fun throwing something together over a short time

[@AirdorfGames]

Hi there, that's not the reason why she left the project. Also this was my all-time most successful game on Itch.

[@ActualHumanMigz]

I feel like we all got a little more intimate with the orange borders today lol

[@kkryder9176]

To be very clear, this isn't Molly Moon's ONLY thing, her main thing is... not viewable on TikTok or KZbin lol

[@conormurphy4328]

Ohh well now I’m curious

[@scottdenby290]

In fairness I'm pretty sure she's moved away from that stuff since her Tiktok really took off for making content like this. Granted I'm not exactly super versed in the Moonnverse

[@LordSenile]

Are you sure it's even the same Molly Moon? It's apparently a surprisingly generic name! When you google it, the first thing that comes up is an ice cream brand, then a series of children's books about Molly Moon (and a movie), then you get like five different women all with their own social media channels. It's not the best name to have to make a mark for yourself....
