From the conversation I had about the viability of bringing back such an old franchise it felt like there was a mixed level of confidence in the game breaking out, but no shortage of ambition. Judging from what I played I could definitely imagine the combination of the classic formula with the tension of new multiplayer elements affording it some popularity. That potential seems like it would hinge not just on the fluidity and technical success of the final product, but what level of availability and pricing the game receives too.
Mothmen 1966 feels like something that could have been written at any point in the past 50 years and seems to intend to be that way, to an end that is deeply disappointing. Here, another America that never existed, another one that wipes out the social history of the nation, and replaces it with a Mothman t-shirt you forget buying.
