The Forgotten Goosebumps PC Game: Attack of the Mutant (1997)
Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant is a horror computer game from 1997 that served as a video game adaption of the massively popular Goosebumps book series by R.L. Stein and TV show. It was never super popular but these days the game feels almost completely forgotten. I played it a ton as a kid and remember it being very, very scary, but how does it stack up almost 2 decades later? This video is a deep dive into Attack of the Mutant's gameplay, story, and inspiration and especially the powerful nostalgia of the game and the Goosebumps franchise in general. Viewer beware, you're in for a scare!

The music featured in the video is SquidPhysics' cover of the Goosebumps TV show theme (ua-cam.com/video/BcE6Wa-GDys/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SquidPhysics) and from the OST of Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant composed by Jon Holland. It's a great soundtrack but unfortunately I can't plug where you can purchase it from cause it isn't anywhere! The outro music is "Cancertid" by Lifelover.

    I agree 20:43, is one of the best speeches ever. You can listen to it by searching "A child's shadow" on youtube, is the ost with the speech. I still hear it from time to time, I love how the voice starts slow, almost pained, and it starts to gain power and desesperation after "The innocent, the innocent Mandus!" almost like a plead, an anger plead for you to save them

    I really liked AMFP, even when it first dropped. But I also loved Dear Esther, so I guess that scans. Feels like it was a game made for fans of the sort of games TCR makes, rather than fans of the original Amnesia. I suppose the issue is less the game in a vacuum and more the game as a sequel with specific expectations.

    I Really like the idea of Lambert being the monster, You could play the game thinking that the beast is only some paranormal creature when in really is just your Brother in arms, Another human being. It ties really well as this Antiwar message, how you could desensitize your enemy yet at the end of the day, it's just another guy like you and me. Monster Lambert just grabbing his son's Toy and silently saying Henry makes me so sad

    I watched basically every episode of goosebumps when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite shows. I remember absolutely hating this episode because of how weird and not scary it was, lol. This was an incredible video! I got more entertainment from this than I did watching the original episode. The game looks even weirder, but there's definitely a fun charm to it.

    • @IAmTheSnuggler
      @IAmTheSnuggler 5 днів тому

      Yup hahaha the Mutant episode is honestly really bad as far as the show goes. Maybe the worst in the entire series? I didn't want to say that in case somebody randomly loved it hahaa. The book is not great either. Honestly if anything the game salvages the idea to make something actually scary and fun!

    Have you ever heard of the American Chillers series? It's pretty close to Goosebumps but not as popular for some reason. Also the Weenies series like The Curse of the Campfire Weenies. Now THAT book was a bunch of legitimately scary short stories that haunted me as a kid.

    My sibling and I used to play on V-tech consoles and I recall clicking on a fridge and it saying "Brrr! It's cold in here!" in a very particular cadence. Everything else had the proper noises they make so it stood out. Aside from that, I vaguely remember a PC game set in Egypt with a desert, riverboat and market stall. Perhaps there was some tie to Scooby Doo, but I could be getting it mixed up with one of the other games I watched my family play. Then of course there were the educational games we'd be assigned at school, mostly for maths. Late 90s - early/mid 2000s media is so interesting for how close and yet far it is if you were born at the turn of the millenium and after. But for everyone else, it's like yesterday and they feel old when it gets mentioned historically. (Nevermind trying to find information online about life at the time and being inundated with nostalgia bait.)

    • @IAmTheSnuggler
      @IAmTheSnuggler 6 днів тому

      It's so interesting with how movies, games, and tv shows from early childhood are often just remembered by whatever specific setpieces are memories latched onto as a kid. They're almost like dreams in that way; some elements stand out so strongly but the rest is just fog. But yes completely agree and well sad! It's bizarre just how quickly things advanced even just during the time from my beginning in elementary school until the end. Thanks for your support and answering the question in the video!
