I like how the powerups are detrimental. I think the game would be more fun if there was a true ending where if you beat the game without using the serum, not only are you, well, not a shark, but Greg is either furious that you refused to because he was hoping you would, or he realises that forcing people to grow into football powerhouses isn't the way to make a good team. Either way, I think some acknowledgement for not using the serum at all would be fun. Also, rest in peace to the weird shark guys who now have to figure out how to integrate back into society.

I'm surprised that sports mascots aren't more common in mascot horror, like those actually exist unlike mascots for ifk kindergartens or something that other games try to justify their setting with.😅 I also love how it's humourous and knows what it is.

[@prcervi]

my one thought is that sports stadiums aren't interesting enough a setting, not unless you start stapling other, very different facilities onto it

[@55minecraft]

i mean, school mascots exist? i get what you mean though

[@virgilepiaux150]

Japan famously has mascots for nearly everything, so I'm surprised no one used this fact to create mascot horror games set in wackier places

[@drakegrandx5914]

I think one of the main problems is that sport/school mascots have real people inside, and as such give a "a real person is after me" vibe, which is quite contrarian to the feeling that the mascot horror genre wants to give (whether or not the monster actually turns out to be a real person in a costume or not). You could surely make a cool horror game around the concept (and there probably are plenty already), but it would work better as horror/thriller rather than a mascot horror specifically.

[@kevinzdanowski1125]

How I would imagine a pepsiman game is that it starts with you late at night, finishing off the last of your pepsi, and when you do you get a text from pepsiman saying "I'm coming for you, start running". So now you have to get more pepsi before pepsiman finds you and blasts you to death in pepsi.

[@thesingingsirenz4714]

@@kevinzdanowski1125 that feels kind of similar to that joke horror game about sprite cranberry, it was similar, though instead of getting the sprite you were grabbing Fanta (I think) around your home and then you'd throw it at the guy repeatedly so you can escape to a gas station

[@Kraiglyndor]

I can’t help but imagine it playing out like a reskin of the Pepsiman video game. The gameplay was an auto runner with a chase at the end.

[@blue-flare7060]

I like the idea where Pepsi man is the main character since we always see Pepsi man tries to deliver Pepsi, however something was wrong where he went back to his company to come back from a commercial showing. He never knew what was about to see of a mutated version of said Pepsi man mix of a rat.(kinda reference that rumors of Pepsi company used rat eyes as a ingredient)

This game seems less like mascot horror and more like mascot comedy

[@francreeps4509]

to be completely fair every mascot horror game aside from early fnaf and poppy could be considered mascot comedy

[@AmySay]

Honestly, between the sports theme, focus on combat, and boss fights, this is kinda the jock version of a mascot horror game 😂

[@TheTrueBatBrain]

Fun thing with this, even though it's a conedy mascot horror it strikes on what makes mascto horror scary better than a lot of worse attempts. FNAF is scary brcause the Chuck E Cheese animatronics were uncanny. This is scary with the "serum" being a stand in for what is a real problem in sports, steroids and PED's. Like turning players into sharks is the only eay Greg could think to get the team to win. Also, congrats on 40k it feels like you've risen so fast!

Mascot horror is fittingly the successor to mascot platformers of the ps1 and 2. Started as fun colourful characters to make entertainment for children in fun games. Then overtime it became corrupted into the horror games we see now.

[@Cubeytheawesome]

I’m waiting to see a combination of the 2. I had an idea for one but idk if it would work, since I’d probably just have it be an allegory for how the gaming industry lost touch with consumers or something. It would kinda be like Gwimbly

[@Bobbiejoinscore]

I want to see a mascot horror game where the farther you go in the place the more broken and (something else horror related) while the mascot isn’t the monster, you are, your the mascot, one of the suits just came alive and doesn’t know where they are, and why their alone, their a fried of you the human, but until the end it’l seem like their the monster not you, your breaking into its home, it doesn’t know you and it’s confused, of course it’d try to hurt you, it thinks your out to hurt it

[@PyraJya-Luquay]

Unironically, Greg's Deadly Draft was probably one of the more intuitive mascot horrors because it was an actual sport's mascot. I'd play for the Sharks and I hate (American) football! XD

The game feels less like a horror game, but in a fun and cutesy way. I love how you perfectly described this, and I personally think there should be multiple endings depending on how much of the special blue powerups you took.

[@williamhanekom9882]

I'm honestly thankful you covered this game, considering how much of a fun break it is from other bigger mascot titles. It's not trying to take itself seriously, and it's not trying to create a profitable franchise over the course of several chapters, its just simple fun and thats all you could ask for tbh.

For some reason the bit about mascot horror not typically having combat makes me want to make a mascot horror themed Doom 2 mod.
