The Tragedy of Mothman Games | Cryptid Month

[@terrestrialTerror]

Petition to rename the title to "Please make more games about my cryptid blorbo."

[@terrestrialTerror]

On a related note, mothman is objectively the sexiest crypted, no wonder why there are so many dating sims for him. Red eyes? Hot. Large fuzzy wings? Hot. Shows up to fuck with you? Good trait. I would fuck the mothman if I could.

[@andrewlavigne44]

Mothmen 1966 is a visual novel that released late 2021 but is not a romance. Highly recommend it.

[@jameskent6827]

You definitely need to check out a game called "No One Lives Under The Lighthouse"

[@RubbahPants]

Imagine a Fresno Nightcrawler game. I just wanna hang with some pants and their son Edit: I've always had the impression mothman was a quiet and nice, if terrifying, guy rather than a bloodthirsty monster like so many other cryptids. Many people who are enthusiastic about mothman might view him similarly and not think that he really fits the role of a horror game antagonist, but would work better as his own character... that you can date, I guess.

[@ad0xa]

I wouldn't mind scarry mothman lore again, but I also kinda love that he is a LGBTQ+ icon.

[@kharpys98]

more like broth man. guy loves his soup

[@RipplyAnemone67]

I like to think mothman is an entity that is a form of deity or Demigod of sort. It is one that is man’s suffering and anguish and tragedy. I think it is like a moth to light but to tragedy and maybe that’s why we as the human race to call it the mothman. Maybe due to some strange magical presence of sort but then the stories of the one German shrieker creature and that mine, the blackbird of Chernobyl, and the sighting of mothman before the nucular accident in japan to me make it real and that it is a harbinger of doom.

[@VoiceOfTreason13]

Might give "No One Lives Under The Lighthouse" a whirl

[@sickoshrek4720]

7:10 the good ol do re mi fa so la ti do puzzle

[@Cavirex]

I would love a videogame adaptation of The Mothman Prophecy book, where you play as John A. Keel himself, or some near-identical protagonist, and you investigate all sorts of high strangeness, wandering around Point Pleasant, or its equivalent, talking to townsfolk and putting together info from accounts and newspaper clippings, as well as doing field research with various equipment.

[@bonustoadmedia877]

babe wake up new paint video dropped (the framed picture of mothman tucked into my bed does not respond)

[@somedude3390]

Why are cryptids always -men? Where is the mysterious squirrel boy. Give me an unexplained sighting of the kentucky opossum woman

[@Darxide23]

Rumor has it if you say "Kentucky Opossum Woman" three times into a steamed up mirror, all of your garbage will be mysteriously eaten by morning.

[@keinname1896]

Solid Scooby reference game here. 10/10

[@toethumbghost]

cryptid month is truly my favorite month of the year

[@DragonaxFilms]

Watched your video on the Blair Witch game and now this one, and this is some good stuff. Definitely gonna be binging your content in the coming days 👍

[@rabbitdeeryou2288]

Long after humankind has perished and the Earth is reclaimed by its original masters... Cryptid Month will still be going strong. Cheers for the ASMC shoutout!

[@Ibisian]

Also, it doesn't surprise me that there are a lot of Mothman romance games; that leans into the whole monster lover/teratophilia thing. I think some accessible examples of that are the Beast from Beauty & The Beast, and the Amphibian Man from Shape of Water.

[@sirpuffball6366]

There's a shooter called Trepang2 with a pretty distinct mothman appearance! though that doesn't exactly count under "mothman themed horror games"

[@TheDacoMelon]

Mothman in Russia is not exactly bringing it into a new region. Though the game is inaccurate anyway, I did hear somewhere of a "Black Bird of Chernobyl", a series of sightings of a large black winged being that fits the Mothman's description that made itself known in the time leading up to the Chernobyl disaster.

[@Untrustedlife]

Nice call out to After School Murder Club, smooth :D

[@daviddeltoro1808]

Bruh just stumbled upon your channel, good shit. Keep at it.

[@pgasnow]

holy shit your channel is fucking amazing i can't get enough of these cryptid game videos

[@nekromorg]

10:32 Oh you poor soul. Don't do this to yourself. It's not worth it.

[@RipplyAnemone67]

5:31 apparently mothman was seen in Moscow before a terrorist bombing so it is not a new region.

[@Beeyo176]

5:54 Perfectly segued into the "this is a passive rpg game" ad that will no longer make sense in 6 moths Not that wasn't a typo

[@vlonesoldier3679]

10:50 what is this version of country roads called

[@Bigiboi2006]

Yay cryptid month forever baby!

[@wanwan3994]

Always exciting to see a upload from you!

[@MothmanEndured]

It's criminal how few games are based on Mothman.

[@Daniel_Lancelin]

[@magicman3163]

I just subscribed good content good content

[@therevenancy]

That ending cracked me up

[@agustinmiranda3989]

The ending lmao

[@RipplyAnemone67]

Ok, you can not outrun mothman the original report says he was keeping up with a vehicle going max speed without constantly flapping its wings.

[@Bakounine_Inch_Nails]

as usually a very good video

[@magicman3163]

I just googled this and found this

[@tylertheleper8468]

[@Untrustedlife]

I’ll add moth man to dr4x and give it some due diligence like I did for the wendigo. Gimme a week.

[@SempraReal]

fruit by the [big] foot

[@Beeyo176]

I didn't get a fucking notification for this

[@Arrrash]

Cryptid Decade :D

[@Maggerama]

I'll copy-paste my comment here since there's a slightly bigger chance for you to notice it: do Ecstatica at one point maybe? There's a profound, dark horror game under these ellipsoids. It's consistent in its humorous, uncanny, disturbingly cruel tone, and when it takes hold - it doesn't let go. Besides, it was ahead of its time in terms of inventive gameplay mechanics and especially enemy behavior - these creatures felt alive.

[@nickblack2006]

HA i do get the reference :)

[@PHONEyah]

Oh the reason there's so many Mothman dating sim things is because he's been picked up as a queer icon by more circles than you'd thing -- why he's a queer icon I dunno lmao but it's cool. Great video as always by the way.

Where the fuck have you been Paint, I type while stuck in ads

[@Beeyo176]

I'm seriously about to unsubscribe from everything that I don't binge watch on my way to sleep.

[@sunderlandspook1875]

Fuck sake, Paint. You’re videos are always too good to be real. Much like the Mothman himself. You are a cryptid. Let’s make babies!

[@julian0451]

ahh yet another gross missuse of the word *month*. keep em goin paint

[@georgiegunther6358]

Fallout 76 has gotten better and it is what got me addicted to the mothman but I thought the clips you showed were really funny

[@Sumo005YT]

Tag yourself, I'm the little manikin boy. smh my head where's the fallout 76 full mothman bossfight no damage blindfold gameplay

[@Venserql]

The story of Mothman is pretty lame tho. There's one good movie about it that was pretty creepy until I read what it was based on (didn't know about Mothman before watching it) and then laughed my ass off.
