I just finished this game and I really really liked it! There isn't enough Mothman content out there and this game really scratches my itch (slight pun intended).
Fully agree - more mothman is always good mothman. Thanks so much! It means a ton to see Mothdude receiving love even a year later :)
Adorable!! A charming and wonderful little story. :D Strangely nostalgic for some reason. I was impressed by how many variations the sprites had, and how well every piece of art and sound fit together. Mothdude's personality was just perfect and his little blushing sprite made me stop and go "awww" every time it appeared. Thank you for the delightful game!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad to hear you pick up on some of those vibes :)
This has got to be the cutest of all the ones I've read so far :3 It's absolutely adorable, both in terms of the writing and the artwork ^-^ I'll put the rest below spoilers just in case!

So yeah, awww, adorableeeee x3 I would definitely give Mothdude a hug! And that was such a heartwarming moment to see onscreen. I loved the slurping sprite and the hugging, but I wasn't expecting to be bowled over with even more cuteness at the end when they all had those Mothdude masks on at the concert xD Pretty sure I aww'd out loud, haha. They all looked so cute playing their instruments together. And those 'photos' made me chuckle. It's just so wholesome with a lovely bittersweet ending. Also reminds me of when my brother was younger and used to hang out with his friends and go skating :3 Oh, and I loved the chapter select design too!
On a side note, I love moths in general x3 They're cute, haha. And I will now be disappointed if I don't see someone dressed as a Mothdude type character this spooky season!
Thanks for playing and for your sweet comments!
This was so cute!! I want to hang out with the Mothdude lol. Great writing and the ending was really interesting!
Super glad to hear it! :) Thanks for playing!!
So happy you enjoyed!
So much fun! A quick little game about befriending a totally rad cryptid. My chat and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much!! Totally, totally rad
We did it, Benjamin! Woooo!
