The other monsters want to kill the caterpillar for the same reason that the caterpillar clapped Mickey. They all want to have his normal-ish body. This may also be why some of the passengers have gone missing and are kinda drippy looking. They have been killed by various monsters aboard the ship and had their bodies taken over. The normal bodies are unable to contain the monsters though and start to decay. Mickey is one of the few who has been successfully taken over with minimal deformity so they're all fighting for the ability to take his body. The caterpillar is taking care of the ship because he needs to get to land in order to make actual use of his new body. (And this means you need to do a sequel of the steamboat docking and the NPCs, including the drippy inhabited ones, disembarking and messing with a Disney-esque black and white town. Have fun with that!) Edit: Doin' a little edit to confirm my comment didn't get auto deleted.
Yeah that's my personal take on why mickey's face had been swapped out, like in the cartoons where their body parts get flattened that's what I think happened, cartoon physics.
The caterpillar desires for all to look like him Either through curb stomping or plastic surgery The caterpillar is a plastic surgeon But he lost his medical license so now he works illegally on the boat The other monster came to arrest him for medical malpractice It all makes sense now
Lore Idea: The caterpillar is much better at hunting than the other monsters in the game because it can use the bodies of those it kills to try and blend in to society. This either can confuse the other monsters into thinking that it is just a regular character like all the other ones or all the other monsters view it as a massive threat. The caterpillar wants to fully integrate into this new society in order to propagate it's species.
I like the idea of the caterpillar and monsters acting like body snatchers like The Thing, once they get a host, they can leave but a failed capture deforms and rots the body. Caterpillar managed to snatch a body and control it looking “normal” because of that the other monsters want that body too and will kill for it. The note could end saying the boat went missing but after a while it was found that “ALL passengers were found in critical condition” (bodies mutilated but still alive) where they will be taken to the hospital and from there continue to body snatch once more
I like to think that the caterpillar monster is prey to the other monsters. This caterpillar is not threatening in the slightest and doesn't seem to have the natural tools to defend itself. It took mickey's body not only to be able to use tools but also be small and fast enough to run away because it's original body was just too big. It's not malicious, it's acting on survival instinct.
I think I have a good idea as to why the other monsters are trying to kill "micky". It's because in the tutorial, the caterpillar micky (aka the player technically) killed the original micky and "replaced" him. So my theory is that the caterpillar pillar micky needed a cocoon, so it used the original micky's body as the cocoon. Eventually, this cocoon will hatch a horrible creature among "humanity." And the monsters are trying to kill this micky because if it was left alive, it could disrupt the balance completely. Like how nature always has a balance.
You should make another game where it’s a bunch of monsters in a city but all the monsters are from the caterpillar and you have to kill the caterpillar to save the world
My Concept for the lore: The caterpillar needed food to finally proceed to turn into a new creature, but because it consumed someone with mind (mickey) and a weak body, it lost all the strength it had to become smart, in a way being "reborn" as mickey The monsters are the result of the crew members slowly changing because of the curse Goofy is like a signal that they are fucked, and as more time passes, some members get turned into monsters, while others die and leave no trails In the end, long face mickey is the last survivor, having only memories of the ship, and nothing else, which ends up with him getting locked up in prison for massacre of the whole ship, with the few evidences that exist
8:15 it does make sense though! If his eyes are sewn shut and he is not **fully** blind light would be able to pass through his eyelids, in a dark environment this would be a very obvious difference even if his eyes were stitched shut and would also explain why he does not chase the player immediately. But the sound idea is also very good since other senses get improved when others are missing.
The lantern is the brightest light source there is, it's the most noticeable to the monster, and the fixing noise is the loudest noise on the ship, the monster has recognized that where there is the lantern and the hammer sounds, there is prey!
Could work as a difficulty deal like Easy (called Silence to fit the Sound part of the title) No monsters at all, but everyone is still paranoid due to the rumors, end note could mention how everything went fine but maybe a passenger or Mickey himself mentions how something "still doesnt feel right", hinting this isn't the real ending, a "play on a higher difficulty for a more indepth ending" deal Normal (Murmur? maybe Chatter?) basically how the game is already, maybe with more tweaks or a new monster or two, but nothing difficult if you do work on this more, the note at the end talking about how many survives and is dead if itll vary, perhaps even talk about strange yet similar faces popping up on various folks hinting at the caterpillar infecting/possessing more peoole via offspring Hard (something like Cacophony?) this could be the permadeath/one life, Mickey managed to escapr the caterpillar in the tutorial so hes still himself, but now the caterpillar is hunting him occasionally too (maybe its new poo location is at the end of one of the side hallways in the underside to not block off to keep using it as an escape route/quick travel between the front and back of the boat and if varied based on saved passengers, the note says something about the first successful voyage without harm or how many died to the boat somehow arriving on it's own despite no one being on it/alive to steer it thus perpetuating the mudmyth sound rumors
I was thinking the paper at the end could be a piece of a newspaper, somewhere along the lines of "Tragedy has hit Mudmyth Isles this morning as a steam boat has docked but no one was found aboard apart from the mutilated, headless body of a repair man. Police have received several reports of missing people and break-ins as well this morning. Investigations are currently on-going for both mysterious cases, the detectives believing that these tragedies could be tied to each other." It could be altered a bit but I like the implications of the fact the caterpillar was this highly intelligent specimen, who used mickeys body to blend in, only to discard it and ravage civilization once it reaches land
November 18th 1928 A steamboat that had been missing for weeks was finally located. However, the ship was discovered in disarray. Various passengers and crew members were found murdered or mutilated beyond recognition. It is unclear what happened with autopsies providing no clear answers. The ongoing theory is a case of mass hysteria tied to rumors of curses many believe the sound has held for centuries. The investigation will continue. (That's my idea for the lore message at the end) Glad to see you're back man! This game looks really cool (I'm a sucker for 2D side scroller horror games) and your other games look great too! Keep up the amazing work!
@@lukedawormif you need the story on how "mickey" first worked in the ship: Make "mickey" go to a weird old guy and he says this "oh.hey new guy! I have heard that you came here to work in the ship.well you can but beware of some things that you have never seen before" then he will change his attitude and say in a serious way "You dont wanna work there." And walk away,nowhere to be seen
idea: when you die by a monster, you will have the same build/face as the monster, like if you die by eater, your eyes will be sown shut (a 50% chance of happening) or you will be... round (20% chance of happening) with a debuff of you are very slow, if you die to the screamer, you will be so skinny (10 % chance) or your eyes will be sunken (80% chance) with a perk of, is more quieter around eater, and a debuff of, a 50/50% chance of screaming, alerting the eater
The monsters on the ship have been circling Mickey for days. As a caterpillar, he’s the only one whose body hasn’t fully broken down. The other passengers? They’ve disappeared-reduced to dripping, ghostly figures wandering the decks, their bodies twisted and warped by the monsters that took them over. Mickey is different. Somehow, he’s kept most of his form intact, just a few odd changes. And now, he’s the most valuable target in the monsters’ twisted game. But Mickey’s focused on one thing: steering the ship toward land. He knows he needs solid ground to unlock the full power of his new form. Once the steamboat finally docks in a black-and-white, town the real chaos begins. What was once charming, quickly becomes a horrifying playground of fear, where danger lurks in every corner, and survival is the only rule. (i hope you like it) and i forgot i use mickey aka the caterpillar now
I think it'd be cool if the lore is that the caterpillar is like a skinwalker and that Minnie still doesn't know that it's not the real Mickey. If there was a way to avoid being killed by the caterpillar, then you could make it so that Minnie becomes the victim instead. "You're not the real Minnie, yuh-huh"
The catapillar was hated by the other monsters for it's face that resembled a person (or animal or whatever) and the it was hated by people for it's disturbing body so it hid beneath the deck to avoid both. Then Micky comes along and it killed him and hid inside him. The people didn't realize it was him because they'd never seen Mickey before so they figured it was just him. But the creatures had seen Mickey and recognized the caterpillar was disguising itself
My theory about the Caterpillar is that he didn't exactly kill Mikey. Parts of Mikey remained inside him when the Caterpillar took over his body. His last thought was to repair the ship and help the passengers. But Caterpillar doesn't want that to happen. However, with their hands tied, the other monsters try to "kill him" so that he can gain full control over Mikey and drown everyone on that ship (I came up with this in 5 minutes, I know how boring it sounds)
The caterpillar successfully outsmarted the fellow monsters, their disguise so good it tricked the fellow creatures that resided on the steamboat, being the only one of them to escape onto the real world, and will now reek havoc, or somthing.
For starters, I think the eater if you die to, it should have more mass on their rib and as for what I think should be on the end screen I think “After successfully evading death you were able to make it to land using a dead body of one of the crewmembers as your disguise, but your disguise didn’t work not on the monsters anyway but that doesn’t matter now that you are on land and are free to claim more victims”
Yeah o think if you make it back as “mickey” another form is revealed after bursting outta his corpse like a caterpillar evolving and rampaging and maybe laying eggs for more and can definitely still be a way to avoid the original Mickey from dying,
Great video, very inspirational! The idea with the snow tunnels sounds amazing. As a fellow game dev, I'd be interested in learning what exactly was causing the performance issues when loading a new screen. The monsters being instantiated does not sound like it would be that bad for performance, even if they are created every time instead of just moved from off-screen.
thanks for the compliment, i am glad you liked the video! I would love to hear your take on what might be causing the issues in the game because I am still struggling to figure it out. feel free to reach out to me on discord if you want to chat! I love talking to fellow devs!
Ok, lore/reference thing for the mannequin! Refrence: any old Disney princess movie like snow white or Cinderella. Lore: ill keep it short, a bride was getting married on this ship. Husband had cold feet and took a small swim and drowned. She was trying to save him (hence why it was soiled) but failed. After she got out, the dress dried out except for the bottom.) She killed herself the next day and she possessed a mannequin for no apparent reason idk.
If you went with the version of the little mermaid it ties in well with someone ending up in the water and could be vague on how he died- like did the sea witch/monster get him killed or pulled off the fake identity and married the prince leaving the mermaid not meeting the deadline to the contract.
@@lukedaworm thank you! (forgot the password to the original acc but ill post some more story stuff for the creatures some other time, motivation be damned)
Hello, Lore note here, the caterpillar that goes takes over Mickey is like a hot dog. And Mickey becomes the bun. Because Hot dogs are tasty (and the caterpillars multiple counts of tax fraud) the other monsters want to kill and consume the flesh. XOXO - Lore note
The note at the end should say “ Yesterday a steamboat pulled up to Mylega Beach. It was supposed to arrive the day before the company that owned the ship stated. All crew members were left decapitated except for a seaman named Mickey who claims to have not seen anything unusual and didn’t know what happened. He is currently under investigation by the FBI. The only unusual things that were found apart from the corpses was a headless mannequin and a doll. Theories have been wild some people believe Mickey was the killer while others believe a murderer killed them but didn’t notice Mickey.The case is still under investigation”.
Okay that snow tunnel game sounds SO COOL WHAT I can just imagine the lore you could stuff into there (and maybe you could aim it towards giving a feeling of claustrophobia and always feeling watched)
Alright, guess here's my lore pitch The caterpillar is actually given a name, Walt. Walt is actually a completely friendly entity, but needed to kill Mickey to start a time loop...and save Mickey's immortal soul. The entities on the ship are passengers who were killed in various ways by Mickey's antics in Steamboat Willy, the ship having crashed seconds after the film ended and everyone on it either dying or being horribly injured. Due to this, Mickey's soul is bound to the boat, along with others. If Mickey can atone for his sins and keep the ship run properly, he maybe able to live again, and save the passengers as well. However, the various entities have been driven to madness by their deformities, becoming violent. So they lash out, trying to destroy this trial of redemption Mickey has been given by absorbing his soul. However, God sends an angel down to help Mickey learn how to keep the ship safe, and then give him a holy mark of protection. That angel is the Caterpillar, having crashed into the Hell Ferry moments before the ship would go dark, immediately killing Mickey before reviving him and explaining the circumstances, before blessing Mickey with the mark of God to partially protect Mickey's soul from the monsters. (The squished face) By the end of the game, Mickey has fully atoned for his sins. The newspaper says that the seemingly unconscious victims of the terrible Mudmyth Sound Crash have miraculously woken up. However, they all blame Mickey at first, before seeing his still-squashed face, realizing the ship wasn't a dream, and then thanking Mickey for saving them from Hell. The news assumes it's all hysteria, and Mickey goes to live his life under new lease, likely becoming a better person in the process...
this just sounds like those old "the character is in purgatory/has a coma/is secretly dead" stories, id much prefer if the caterpillar just stole mickeys skin
Lore: the monsters represent disney's lawyers trying to sue the game for using mikey mouse. They attack the caterpillar because, even though it is just as disgusting and inhuman as they are, it made the mistake of impersonating the biggest Disney mascot.
Whoa, didn't know you made Mudmyth! I knew you previously as the guy who made the bathtub horror game to scare his girlfriend, LOL, your concepts are hella creative! Here are my thoughts regarding some potential lore: It's technically not a "good" ending for us to keep the ship afloat and make it through the Mudmyth Sound unscathed. Mike's dead, we're controlling the parasitic caterpillar that took over his corpse. I'm willing to bet it wants to reproduce/infect others on the mainland, and the steamboat can take it there. I think what it's SUPPOSED to do is simply kill, like the other Mudmyth Abominations, and inevitably sink the ship-- not go around repairing the damage they've caused. If I had to guess, that melted Goofy watching "Mike" knows and made the other monsters aware that it was /helping/ the passengers, and that marked it as a traitor. Adding onto this theory, it could be that /nothing/ is supposed to go in or out of Mudmyth. Not even its Abominations. If the caterpillar escapes, it's breaking the rules of the Sound itself-- crossing an entity far more sinister and twisted than we can fathom.
ooooo this is pretty good. I feel like you are covering a lot of bases here, I like it! lol you heard of this game before this video? thats pretty sick, where?
@@lukedaworm Just adding onto all the neat details you already provided! 👍I believe it was Gifeye's video that randomly appeared in my recommendations one day, when it was like... maybe one of three vids on the subject? I think they might've been the first to make a vid on Mudmyth iirc
That opens up a possible alternate end lore by not fixing any of the repairs vs failing due to the ship sinking while repairing it. I like the idea of the nothing in or out being enforced for unknown means, it opens up speculation and mystery as to why. Having some sympathy for something trying to survive or change to spread its wings fits well with a catepillar thematicly. Maybe the focus on destroying the heads could be tied to 'things man was not meant to know' where the perception is part of the danger like a cognito hazzard.
This style of video is something I haven't found in YEARS, I used to watch dani (really cool game dev) back a few years when he still uploaded, and his videos got me through a lot of real bad times, finding someone who's got the same energy and humour seriously cheers me up, thank you for being awesome!!
aw this comment made my day!! thank you so much for the compliments, I hope that I can keep on making good content! I am also a huge dani fan, I hope he is doing okay.
The caterpillar needed a living host to disguise itself to hide amongst its prey, and the other monsters are trying to kill it because they know if it manages to evolve, it will become the new God and it is shall devour every single living creature
So, an idea to the final page. The monsters live in water and farther you get through the sound, the more of the climb on board and attack the passengers until they overwhelm them all. Twist is that they are all previous passengers and the hot dog monster just hitch hicked the mouses body to try escape to the sea, at which he will fail, but he will try next time as the mound in the ships bellows will respawn him and give him another try, forcing him in the endless circle of death and suffering, which he cant escape.
The note at the end should say: “A game of cat and mouse, finally ending, the mouse escaped the cat’s grasp, and finally continued to live a quiet, normal life, years later, in 1940, there was a tapping at the mouse’s door” Edit: I didn’t know this fact at the time, but now I do, so now I’m gonna comment it and on the note it should either say the thing that isn’t the edit or “Useless fun fact: the band They Might Be Giants, the same guys who made Istanbul (Not Constantinople) also wrote, performed/sung, and composed the Mickey Mouse clubhouse theme song and the mouskedoer song”
Dude! I found your game a few weeks ago and I wanted to say I adored it! I played it on each difficulty and spent a long time looking around for lore clues
to be honest there are a few things hidden in the game that i haven't seen anyone mention, and that i didn't talk about in the video. did you find anything? Im really glad to hear that you enjoyed it, this comment made my day! you are awesome!
Thank you so much for this comment. I do want to keep making better and better content, I also dont want it to take as long as it has. I need to find a happy medium, but i really appreciate the understanding. You are awesome, stay cool
Holy shit I didn't realize it was you until I saw ur old bathroom game I was literally looking at your channel yesterday because I remembered you and was looking for a upload I was pretty sad when I had seen no new uploads from such a fun channel and was worried you quit very glad to see ur still at it 😊 hope you continue making games and having success in the future
@lukedaworm yo interesting concept for the whole paper thing What if Mackey who got tooken over by the catapilalr thing simply killed the passengers so some come back as a vegful spirit of sorts its a simple concept really
The icy tundra one is rlly cool IMO, the tunnels could be on a map with some randomly collapsed ones that you can mark and used as knowing where you are! making monster chases really cool!
ngl i really wish mickey could have a happy ending, no clue why i felt especially bad for him (maybe because this game does genuinely scare me sometimes when i think about it too much lol) not to say the game needs one tho i just feel pretty bad for him
Oh I didn’t want to seem rude or something, I think the ending is fine and not all horror games have good endings (I think that’s what some people argue makes them better? It kinda varies from what a person wants I guess) I don’t know I just wanted to leave a comment I think, as I said it’s not something that needs to be in the game, it was fun watching people play this though it’s interesting (on the whole thing i think the story the game has is good too, it's a concept i haven't seen much though that might be because i'm too scared for horror games)
Heres some lore: I liked the idea that the caterpillar is friendly but i decided to change the lore just a tweak. The caterpillar is one of gods angels but somehow did something to piss off satan or god so he ran for the steamboat crash hiding there after mickey sees it but doesnt do anything to it the caterpillar decides that mickey with his brains and kind heart can be its only hope of escape so when mickey comes down again it decides to decapitate him while blessing mickey with immortality causing a time loop feedback which catches satan/gods eye so they send down soe angels or demons to try and kill mickey due to him being inhabitated by the caterpillar. The end writing talks abot how a ship lost for a week has finally returned cops are investigating for any clues on what hapened, a Mouse identified as Micky Lukeson mouse was found partially harmed, after some investigation they discovered he had some sort of split personality disorder cops are still investgating but have deicided to watch him and give him a new job as a boat docker helping and watching for any suspicous boarders or leavers. sorry my writing sucks LOL
About the story: What about a reverse vision? The "passengers" are in fact monsters, and the "monsters" are in fact the passengers. You are not repairing the ship, you are making holes into it.
I adore the creator loving or interacting positively with nearly every comment, I love to see content creators and their fans getting along so well in the shared space we call the internet. And also, love the game, guy, it’s a spooktackular concept I would *die* to see more of.
THIS IS BIG PRO LORE IDEA??? What if the caterpillar creature stole various items from the other monsters lets say for the eater it stole its eyes or something, and it is hiding away in the poo. But when it saw Mickey the mouse it took the chance to enter Mickey's body so it could become mobile and hidden by the public view at the same time. The monsters can sense its presence within Mickey's body, which is why it is hunting Mickey/Caterpillar.
Okay, I LOVE the concept of the snow tunnel game. So much. That’s so creative - honestly, I wish I’d come up with it first with how much I love the concept of apocalyptic societies, especially winter themed ones PLEASE FINISH IT AND MAKE LORE FOR IT I BEG OF YOU
there should be a monster that hides in the walls and grabs you from cracks in the wood. if you see an eye looking at you from a crack in the wall, you need to click it and make it go away.
Ngl, i kinda liked it before. Not saying you have to change it, but the NPCs took out the horror. If it was just mickey isolated on the boat with monsters, and no outside forces, it would feel isolated, if you know what i mean. It made a grim twist when everyone disappears and are replaced with these creatures, like some purgatory.
My husband and I both love watching these videos ! (I do game dev as a hobby but he finds other game devs boring so we never watch fun videos) Would love to see more!
after you complete a quest from a nps thet character disappears and one of the monsters start to appear insted, goofy just remains goofy. and when you talk to the npcs before compleating theyr quests they say something wierd, so the player starts to think that the npcs are monsters but actually thye are only becoming more awear that miky is a the catterpillar creature, so when the rispective monster of each npc starts to appear insted of a character its them trying to kill miky
1. Other fantastic games in the works 2. Good humor 3. Humor reminds me of older youtube, and that makes me happy 4. Uses Pepper Steak from OFF as background music I was already thinking of subscribing, but then I heard Pepper Steak and I knew I not only had to subscribe but also comment. Also please keep working on those other two games you mentioned at the beginning, I'm really intrigued by that snow tunnel one (and can't tell if I want you to show the surface at some point in the game (maybe during the end credits, and maybe there's some kind of twist where it's revealed that everything is perfectly normally on the surface and/or it shows that it's our modern day society living on top of this snow tunnel civilization and we are none the wiser of each other), or if I want you to keep it entirely a mystery and let the player ponder what could be up there)
Aw thank you so much! this comment made my day! you have some good ideas for the snow tunnels game, I love it! Ill be thinking about them as I make the game. also, who is the older youtuber? you are awesome!
I kinda like the 1st idea of the snow world, if done well it could invoke claustrohpobia and Taphophobia in the people playing it(though that might work better if you allow the player to freely dig into places, similar to mining games, whereas in this one if you try to dig onto the surface the monsters there will attack you). As for my interpretation of the lore: In short, you're in hell. You, and everyone else got killed by a weaker demon whom needed a vessel in order to compete for power with the others. Hell is a reflection of our world where day is night and night is day, explaining the sudden darkness. The demon pulled some anime-esque hijinks where he let you keep your own free will, and gave your lantern the power to affect some of the monsters for the price of your appearance, signifying YOU being under its control. The ship is heading in a directio the demon wants to head to(duh), with the other demons knowingly trying to prevent you(the vessel) from reaching the destination, knowing it could spell catastrophe for all of them, so they strike while you're weak. Note at the end: Log.3 "Today I awoke from a horrible nightmare, where I got slaughtered by what I can only describe as a gigantic caterpillar with endless arms. It's strange that I awoke in the middle of the night." Log.5 "I chose to stay down in the cabin for most of yesterday, I only went to the caefteria once. I saw the cabin boy on the way back. His face was...wrong, twisted. Where have I seen that face before?" Log.8 "I've been hearing commotion on the deck for the last two nights. Sometimes it sounds like a dog running. Other times it's like porcelain footsteps. There's often alot of rapid running along side those steps, I heard something being smashed to bits yesterday. In the day I tried to find the captain but....there was nobody in the Helm, almost looked like the ship was steering itself." Log.??? "Where the hell are we going, we should have arrived days ago at New Orleans. When the hell are we?"
Ahh yes the horrors of being a dev. Im all too familiar with this horror! I feel personally wounded quite well XD hiding bugs, 50+ delayed/scrapped projects, and PAIN. You have my condolences, and my props.
The ones who seek, were the first to shriek. The caterpillar their creator, and now they roam in anger. The one they search has found a new host, and now they are more angry than most. From pen and ink, the boat shall not sink, as for the boat is connected, it must be protected. Mickey is still alive, but now the two must survive. Hide during the search, fix while they lurch. For my final sentence, don’t ignore their presence. It’s a rule unbroken, but a rule not spoken. - Walt Disney
Lore idea that would bring mat pat back- The caterpillar doesnt control micky throughout the game, he is feasting off of his form. Micky is in control, but is slowly turning into the caterpillar, and after he fully manafests as one, he puckes up a micky, (the caterpillar which was feasting off of him). The micky then leaves the original to die. There is a plot twist, the Micky that gets face stommped, used to be the caterpillar, and possessed micky (who turns into the caterpillar that face stomps us) and the original micky eanted revenge, so through the game he is slowly gaining his original form, as the player slowly becomes a caterpillar (aka, the players original form). This would explain why he knows how to defeat each of the monsters, he was once one of them. If you think i worded this poorly then just say so, i will rewrite it but better
Edit: Got confused on a thing so edited the comment after I realized. For the lore, I think a lot of the folks here have had really wonderful ideas. A little idea I had was that perhaps the worm is actually from the Sound, somehow it got taken from there, and is now on the steamboat. It decides to take Mikey's body to be able to command the ship to get back to its "home", the Mudmyth Sound. The stuff the face was in originally when Mikey found him can kind of look like really thick mud if you think about it :o Buuuuut by using Mikey's body, it ended up making the other monsters thing he was actually still Mikey, not one of the monsters, and now they're attacking him. Not sure. Maybe those other monsters are other people the original monster tried to take the bodies of, but continued to fail, discarding them and leaving them doomed as these awful creatures. Peter is the one who wants to go to the Mudmyth Sound, right? Hmm. What if he's actually the secret bad guy in all of this? Secretly luring folks to come there to force them to meld with people to become weird, experimental fusions of people and mud monsters. Maybe Mikey's in on it. Maybe that's why the face monster takes Mikey's body, to take him to get revenge. All the monsters want revenge- but because the face monster now looks like Mikey, the monsters think he is him and attack him, due to misunderstanding. I don't know if that makes much sense, I just love a good mix-up like that in stories. ;D The idea sort of came to me as I wrote the comment which is why it's a little all over the place.
I love your lore story! Im sorry I suck at posting, I promise i will work on being better. Thank you so much for your support, here on youtube and on patreon!! You are awesome and yes that was definitely you that got eated lol
The other monsters want to kill the caterpillar for the same reason that the caterpillar clapped Mickey. They all want to have his normal-ish body. This may also be why some of the passengers have gone missing and are kinda drippy looking. They have been killed by various monsters aboard the ship and had their bodies taken over. The normal bodies are unable to contain the monsters though and start to decay. Mickey is one of the few who has been successfully taken over with minimal deformity so they're all fighting for the ability to take his body.
The caterpillar is taking care of the ship because he needs to get to land in order to make actual use of his new body. (And this means you need to do a sequel of the steamboat docking and the NPCs, including the drippy inhabited ones, disembarking and messing with a Disney-esque black and white town. Have fun with that!)
Edit: Doin' a little edit to confirm my comment didn't get auto deleted.
this is a pretty cool idea ngl
Wow. This is really good ngl
I think this concept is better than most of the comments.
I really like this! I also feel like it explains why when all the monsters kill mickey, they remove/crush his head. They want to keep the body intact.

Yeah
Just yeah
"Mickey isn't the caterpillar, it just squished his face." should be at the end and nothing else
Yeah that's my personal take on why mickey's face had been swapped out, like in the cartoons where their body parts get flattened that's what I think happened, cartoon physics.
i like this way more
Not swished brain damage
The caterpillar desires for all to look like him
Either through curb stomping or plastic surgery
The caterpillar is a plastic surgeon
But he lost his medical license so now he works illegally on the boat
The other monster came to arrest him for medical malpractice
It all makes sense now
@@rydertehduckking XD
Lore Idea:
The caterpillar is much better at hunting than the other monsters in the game because it can use the bodies of those it kills to try and blend in to society. This either can confuse the other monsters into thinking that it is just a regular character like all the other ones or all the other monsters view it as a massive threat. The caterpillar wants to fully integrate into this new society in order to propagate it's species.
hmmm the perfect hunter theory huh? i like it
that’s cool, it can also add an objective to kill passengers or smth that’d be cool
Reminds me of nothing there,a creature which wants to be human but cannot and shouldn't be human.

Caterpillar managed to snatch a body and control it looking “normal” because of that the other monsters want that body too and will kill for it.
The note could end saying the boat went missing but after a while it was found that “ALL passengers were found in critical condition” (bodies mutilated but still alive) where they will be taken to the hospital and from there continue to body snatch once more
niceee i like it!
@@lukedaworm (you have many sequels to make now lololololololololol)
I like to think that the caterpillar monster is prey to the other monsters. This caterpillar is not threatening in the slightest and doesn't seem to have the natural tools to defend itself. It took mickey's body not only to be able to use tools but also be small and fast enough to run away because it's original body was just too big. It's not malicious, it's acting on survival instinct.
This is easily my favourite take on it (yes I know I’m late)
oh that's peak, love the idea that the caterwilly is acting based on instinct and survival like a real animal.
Nice
I think I have a good idea as to why the other monsters are trying to kill "micky". It's because in the tutorial, the caterpillar micky (aka the player technically) killed the original micky and "replaced" him. So my theory is that the caterpillar pillar micky needed a cocoon, so it used the original micky's body as the cocoon. Eventually, this cocoon will hatch a horrible creature among "humanity." And the monsters are trying to kill this micky because if it was left alive, it could disrupt the balance completely. Like how nature always has a balance.
This makes a lot of sense, pretty dang good!
I like this
Got my vote
I swear I know about another game that has something like this where the monsters were the good guys all along and the protagonist was the villain.
You should make another game where it’s a bunch of monsters in a city but all the monsters are from the caterpillar and you have to kill the caterpillar to save the world
My Concept for the lore:
The caterpillar needed food to finally proceed to turn into a new creature, but because it consumed someone with mind (mickey) and a weak body, it lost all the strength it had to become smart, in a way being "reborn" as mickey
The monsters are the result of the crew members slowly changing because of the curse
Goofy is like a signal that they are fucked, and as more time passes, some members get turned into monsters, while others die and leave no trails
In the end, long face mickey is the last survivor, having only memories of the ship, and nothing else, which ends up with him getting locked up in prison for massacre of the whole ship, with the few evidences that exist
Interesting idea! i like it
@@lukedaworm I happy you liked my concept :)
I really, really hope that this ends up being the concept that makes it into the game
8:15 it does make sense though! If his eyes are sewn shut and he is not **fully** blind light would be able to pass through his eyelids, in a dark environment this would be a very obvious difference even if his eyes were stitched shut and would also explain why he does not chase the player immediately. But the sound idea is also very good since other senses get improved when others are missing.
you bring up a good point!
The lantern is the brightest light source there is, it's the most noticeable to the monster, and the fixing noise is the loudest noise on the ship, the monster has recognized that where there is the lantern and the hammer sounds, there is prey!
15:22 the reason why they are trying to kill catipliar Mickey is because they want to posses Mickey BUT ONLY ONE MONSTER CAN POSESS MICKEY
yes! we all want to possess mickey. I like it
Why does everyone wanna be inside Mickey

@@Evil_Scissor What?
Man, im SERIOUSLY hoping for a secret playthrough where you manage to escape the caterpillar and play as normal mickey, but with permadeath
this is a way cool idea...
Could work as a difficulty deal like
Easy (called Silence to fit the Sound part of the title) No monsters at all, but everyone is still paranoid due to the rumors, end note could mention how everything went fine but maybe a passenger or Mickey himself mentions how something "still doesnt feel right", hinting this isn't the real ending, a "play on a higher difficulty for a more indepth ending" deal
Normal (Murmur? maybe Chatter?) basically how the game is already, maybe with more tweaks or a new monster or two, but nothing difficult if you do work on this more, the note at the end talking about how many survives and is dead if itll vary, perhaps even talk about strange yet similar faces popping up on various folks hinting at the caterpillar infecting/possessing more peoole via offspring
Hard (something like Cacophony?) this could be the permadeath/one life, Mickey managed to escapr the caterpillar in the tutorial so hes still himself, but now the caterpillar is hunting him occasionally too (maybe its new poo location is at the end of one of the side hallways in the underside to not block off to keep using it as an escape route/quick travel between the front and back of the boat and if varied based on saved passengers, the note says something about the first successful voyage without harm or how many died to the boat somehow arriving on it's own despite no one being on it/alive to steer it thus perpetuating the mudmyth sound rumors
Very cool idea for sure!
@@aluzyre4690 Cacoonphony
I was thinking the paper at the end could be a piece of a newspaper, somewhere along the lines of "Tragedy has hit Mudmyth Isles this morning as a steam boat has docked but no one was found aboard apart from the mutilated, headless body of a repair man. Police have received several reports of missing people and break-ins as well this morning. Investigations are currently on-going for both mysterious cases, the detectives believing that these tragedies could be tied to each other." It could be altered a bit but I like the implications of the fact the caterpillar was this highly intelligent specimen, who used mickeys body to blend in, only to discard it and ravage civilization once it reaches land
i like it!
November 18th 1928
A steamboat that had been missing for weeks was finally located. However, the ship was discovered in disarray. Various passengers and crew members were found murdered or mutilated beyond recognition. It is unclear what happened with autopsies providing no clear answers. The ongoing theory is a case of mass hysteria tied to rumors of curses many believe the sound has held for centuries. The investigation will continue.
(That's my idea for the lore message at the end)
Glad to see you're back man! This game looks really cool (I'm a sucker for 2D side scroller horror games) and your other games look great too! Keep up the amazing work!

@@Dagamerzv720 fr how to confuse someone 😂
About the snow game. The idea of finding a hole in your safe tunnel. A hole to the surface… from the surface, sends chills down my spine.
this is a great idea!
@@lukedaworm thanks
idea: when you die by a monster, you will have the same build/face as the monster, like if you die by eater, your eyes will be sown shut (a 50% chance of happening) or you will be... round (20% chance of happening) with a debuff of you are very slow, if you die to the screamer, you will be so skinny (10 % chance) or your eyes will be sunken (80% chance) with a perk of, is more quieter around eater, and a debuff of, a 50/50% chance of screaming, alerting the eater
ohhh the numbers
The monsters on the ship have been circling Mickey for days. As a caterpillar, he’s the only one whose body hasn’t fully broken down. The other passengers? They’ve disappeared-reduced to dripping, ghostly figures wandering the decks, their bodies twisted and warped by the monsters that took them over. Mickey is different. Somehow, he’s kept most of his form intact, just a few odd changes. And now, he’s the most valuable target in the monsters’ twisted game.
But Mickey’s focused on one thing: steering the ship toward land. He knows he needs solid ground to unlock the full power of his new form. Once the steamboat finally docks in a black-and-white, town the real chaos begins.
What was once charming, quickly becomes a horrifying playground of fear, where danger lurks in every corner, and survival is the only rule. (i hope you like it) and i forgot i use mickey aka the caterpillar now
this is cool!
The one in the snow tunnels sounds really cool please continue it : D
I might just!
@@lukedaworm : S
@@lukedaworm Please do!
I think it'd be cool if the lore is that the caterpillar is like a skinwalker and that Minnie still doesn't know that it's not the real Mickey. If there was a way to avoid being killed by the caterpillar, then you could make it so that Minnie becomes the victim instead. "You're not the real Minnie, yuh-huh"
thanks for the ideas!
The catapillar was hated by the other monsters for it's face that resembled a person (or animal or whatever) and the it was hated by people for it's disturbing body so it hid beneath the deck to avoid both. Then Micky comes along and it killed him and hid inside him. The people didn't realize it was him because they'd never seen Mickey before so they figured it was just him. But the creatures had seen Mickey and recognized the caterpillar was disguising itself
Hmm this theory isn't that bad!
@@JoseMatthewCruz why thank you
I agree, this one works pretty well!
@lukedaworm I'm glad you, as the creator, like my imput
Honestly maybe mickey and the monsters were friends idk lol
My theory about the Caterpillar is that he didn't exactly kill Mikey. Parts of Mikey remained inside him when the Caterpillar took over his body. His last thought was to repair the ship and help the passengers. But Caterpillar doesn't want that to happen. However, with their hands tied, the other monsters try to "kill him" so that he can gain full control over Mikey and drown everyone on that ship (I came up with this in 5 minutes, I know how boring it sounds)
Not boring at all! not bad actually!
Alright, sure. Who is "Mikey" though?
@@coneheadboii the protagonist, you 🌽 ball 😭
Is he not called mickey 😭

💀
The caterpillar successfully outsmarted the fellow monsters, their disguise so good it tricked the fellow creatures that resided on the steamboat, being the only one of them to escape onto the real world, and will now reek havoc, or somthing.
this is good!
For starters, I think the eater if you die to, it should have more mass on their rib and as for what I think should be on the end screen I think “After successfully evading death you were able to make it to land using a dead body of one of the crewmembers as your disguise, but your disguise didn’t work not on the monsters anyway but that doesn’t matter now that you are on land and are free to claim more victims”
This makes sense! i like it!
Yeah o think if you make it back as “mickey” another form is revealed after bursting outta his corpse like a caterpillar evolving and rampaging and maybe laying eggs for more and can definitely still be a way to avoid the original Mickey from dying,
Great video, very inspirational! The idea with the snow tunnels sounds amazing.
As a fellow game dev, I'd be interested in learning what exactly was causing the performance issues when loading a new screen. The monsters being instantiated does not sound like it would be that bad for performance, even if they are created every time instead of just moved from off-screen.
thanks for the compliment, i am glad you liked the video!
I would love to hear your take on what might be causing the issues in the game because I am still struggling to figure it out. feel free to reach out to me on discord if you want to chat! I love talking to fellow devs!
Ok, lore/reference thing for the mannequin! Refrence: any old Disney princess movie like snow white or Cinderella. Lore: ill keep it short, a bride was getting married on this ship. Husband had cold feet and took a small swim and drowned. She was trying to save him (hence why it was soiled) but failed. After she got out, the dress dried out except for the bottom.) She killed herself the next day and she possessed a mannequin for no apparent reason idk.
haha hey thats not too bad!
If you went with the version of the little mermaid it ties in well with someone ending up in the water and could be vague on how he died- like did the sea witch/monster get him killed or pulled off the fake identity and married the prince leaving the mermaid not meeting the deadline to the contract.

Hello, Lore note here,
the caterpillar that goes takes over Mickey is like a hot dog.
And Mickey becomes the bun.
Because Hot dogs are tasty (and the caterpillars multiple counts of tax fraud)
the other monsters want to kill and consume the flesh.
XOXO - Lore note
i love it. I can feel the hotdog tax fraud energy radiating from the caterpillar
The note at the end should say
“ Yesterday a steamboat pulled up to Mylega Beach. It was supposed to arrive the day before the company that owned the ship stated. All crew members were left decapitated except for a seaman named Mickey who claims to have not seen anything unusual and didn’t know what happened. He is currently under investigation by the FBI. The only unusual things that were found apart from the corpses was a headless mannequin and a doll. Theories have been wild some people believe Mickey was the killer while others believe a murderer killed them but didn’t notice Mickey.The case is still under investigation”.
Okay that snow tunnel game sounds SO COOL WHAT I can just imagine the lore you could stuff into there (and maybe you could aim it towards giving a feeling of claustrophobia and always feeling watched)
ill do it!!
the snow game looked sick and i want it now, it has such a cool vibe to it and is in one of my fav styles, please continue it
you got it!
Alright, guess here's my lore pitch
The caterpillar is actually given a name, Walt. Walt is actually a completely friendly entity, but needed to kill Mickey to start a time loop...and save Mickey's immortal soul.
The entities on the ship are passengers who were killed in various ways by Mickey's antics in Steamboat Willy, the ship having crashed seconds after the film ended and everyone on it either dying or being horribly injured. Due to this, Mickey's soul is bound to the boat, along with others. If Mickey can atone for his sins and keep the ship run properly, he maybe able to live again, and save the passengers as well.
However, the various entities have been driven to madness by their deformities, becoming violent. So they lash out, trying to destroy this trial of redemption Mickey has been given by absorbing his soul. However, God sends an angel down to help Mickey learn how to keep the ship safe, and then give him a holy mark of protection. That angel is the Caterpillar, having crashed into the Hell Ferry moments before the ship would go dark, immediately killing Mickey before reviving him and explaining the circumstances, before blessing Mickey with the mark of God to partially protect Mickey's soul from the monsters. (The squished face)
By the end of the game, Mickey has fully atoned for his sins. The newspaper says that the seemingly unconscious victims of the terrible Mudmyth Sound Crash have miraculously woken up. However, they all blame Mickey at first, before seeing his still-squashed face, realizing the ship wasn't a dream, and then thanking Mickey for saving them from Hell. The news assumes it's all hysteria, and Mickey goes to live his life under new lease, likely becoming a better person in the process...
Pretty good pitch
I love this, its a cool story idea!
10/10
this just sounds like those old "the character is in purgatory/has a coma/is secretly dead" stories, id much prefer if the caterpillar just stole mickeys skin
I aint reading allat
The battle block theater music you have in Your video near the beginning is so cool! I'm happy to hear music from one of my favorite games!
a cookie to those who know the good sounds 🍪
Lore: the monsters represent disney's lawyers trying to sue the game for using mikey mouse. They attack the caterpillar because, even though it is just as disgusting and inhuman as they are, it made the mistake of impersonating the biggest Disney mascot.
Whoa, didn't know you made Mudmyth! I knew you previously as the guy who made the bathtub horror game to scare his girlfriend, LOL, your concepts are hella creative! Here are my thoughts regarding some potential lore:
It's technically not a "good" ending for us to keep the ship afloat and make it through the Mudmyth Sound unscathed. Mike's dead, we're controlling the parasitic caterpillar that took over his corpse. I'm willing to bet it wants to reproduce/infect others on the mainland, and the steamboat can take it there. I think what it's SUPPOSED to do is simply kill, like the other Mudmyth Abominations, and inevitably sink the ship-- not go around repairing the damage they've caused. If I had to guess, that melted Goofy watching "Mike" knows and made the other monsters aware that it was /helping/ the passengers, and that marked it as a traitor.
Adding onto this theory, it could be that /nothing/ is supposed to go in or out of Mudmyth. Not even its Abominations. If the caterpillar escapes, it's breaking the rules of the Sound itself-- crossing an entity far more sinister and twisted than we can fathom.
ooooo this is pretty good. I feel like you are covering a lot of bases here, I like it!
lol you heard of this game before this video? thats pretty sick, where?
@@lukedaworm Just adding onto all the neat details you already provided! 👍I believe it was Gifeye's video that randomly appeared in my recommendations one day, when it was like... maybe one of three vids on the subject? I think they might've been the first to make a vid on Mudmyth iirc
That opens up a possible alternate end lore by not fixing any of the repairs vs failing due to the ship sinking while repairing it. I like the idea of the nothing in or out being enforced for unknown means, it opens up speculation and mystery as to why. Having some sympathy for something trying to survive or change to spread its wings fits well with a catepillar thematicly. Maybe the focus on destroying the heads could be tied to 'things man was not meant to know' where the perception is part of the danger like a cognito hazzard.
I love your art style.
The depression through overly large amounts of programming spaghetti code is very relatable.
i hope you are doing alright and in a good place my friend. And thank you so much for the compliment!

ALSO IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE DO THE SNOW TUNNELS GAME IT LOOKS SO COOL
i see this!
I love your editing and humor, earned a sub just for that
aw this comment made my day. thank you for the support!
The caterpillar needed a living host to disguise itself to hide amongst its prey, and the other monsters are trying to kill it because they know if it manages to evolve, it will become the new God and it is shall devour every single living creature
So, an idea to the final page. The monsters live in water and farther you get through the sound, the more of the climb on board and attack the passengers until they overwhelm them all. Twist is that they are all previous passengers and the hot dog monster just hitch hicked the mouses body to try escape to the sea, at which he will fail, but he will try next time as the mound in the ships bellows will respawn him and give him another try, forcing him in the endless circle of death and suffering, which he cant escape.

Heres some lore: I liked the idea that the caterpillar is friendly but i decided to change the lore just a tweak. The caterpillar is one of gods angels but somehow did something to piss off satan or god so he ran for the steamboat crash hiding there after mickey sees it but doesnt do anything to it the caterpillar decides that mickey with his brains and kind heart can be its only hope of escape so when mickey comes down again it decides to decapitate him while blessing mickey with immortality causing a time loop feedback which catches satan/gods eye so they send down soe angels or demons to try and kill mickey due to him being inhabitated by the caterpillar.
The end writing talks abot how a ship lost for a week has finally returned cops are investigating for any clues on what hapened, a Mouse identified as Micky Lukeson mouse was found partially harmed, after some investigation they discovered he had some sort of split personality disorder cops are still investgating but have deicided to watch him and give him a new job as a boat docker helping and watching for any suspicous boarders or leavers.

What about a reverse vision? The "passengers" are in fact monsters, and the "monsters" are in fact the passengers. You are not repairing the ship, you are making holes into it.

THIS IS BIG PRO LORE IDEA???
What if the caterpillar creature stole various items from the other monsters lets say for the eater it stole its eyes or something, and it is hiding away in the poo. But when it saw Mickey the mouse it took the chance to enter Mickey's body so it could become mobile and hidden by the public view at the same time. The monsters can sense its presence within Mickey's body, which is why it is hunting Mickey/Caterpillar.
that's nice actualy
Felt like the entirety of Disneyland would make it to the public domain before a new video…

there should be a monster that hides in the walls and grabs you from cracks in the wood. if you see an eye looking at you from a crack in the wall, you need to click it and make it go away.
i like your thinking!
Ngl, i kinda liked it before. Not saying you have to change it, but the NPCs took out the horror. If it was just mickey isolated on the boat with monsters, and no outside forces, it would feel isolated, if you know what i mean. It made a grim twist when everyone disappears and are replaced with these creatures, like some purgatory.
you should try the game out, mickey is isolated with the monsters! i guess i forgot to mention that in the video

after you complete a quest from a nps thet character disappears and one of the monsters start to appear insted, goofy just remains goofy. and when you talk to the npcs before compleating theyr quests they say something wierd, so the player starts to think that the npcs are monsters but actually thye are only becoming more awear that miky is a the catterpillar creature, so when the rispective monster of each npc starts to appear insted of a character its them trying to kill miky

The game with the snow tunnels looks cool I would love to hear more about it
you got it!
I kinda like the 1st idea of the snow world, if done well it could invoke claustrohpobia and Taphophobia in the people playing it(though that might work better if you allow the player to freely dig into places, similar to mining games, whereas in this one if you try to dig onto the surface the monsters there will attack you).
As for my interpretation of the lore:
In short, you're in hell.
You, and everyone else got killed by a weaker demon whom needed a vessel in order to compete for power with the others.
Hell is a reflection of our world where day is night and night is day, explaining the sudden darkness.
The demon pulled some anime-esque hijinks where he let you keep your own free will, and gave your lantern the power to affect some of the monsters for the price of your appearance, signifying YOU being under its control.
The ship is heading in a directio the demon wants to head to(duh), with the other demons knowingly trying to prevent you(the vessel) from reaching the destination, knowing it could spell catastrophe for all of them, so they strike while you're weak.
Note at the end:
Log.3
"Today I awoke from a horrible nightmare, where I got slaughtered by what I can only describe as a gigantic caterpillar with endless arms. It's strange that I awoke in the middle of the night."
Log.5
"I chose to stay down in the cabin for most of yesterday, I only went to the caefteria once. I saw the cabin boy on the way back. His face was...wrong, twisted. Where have I seen that face before?"
Log.8
"I've been hearing commotion on the deck for the last two nights. Sometimes it sounds like a dog running. Other times it's like porcelain footsteps. There's often alot of rapid running along side those steps, I heard something being smashed to bits yesterday. In the day I tried to find the captain but....there was nobody in the Helm, almost looked like the ship was steering itself."
Log.???
"Where the hell are we going, we should have arrived days ago at New Orleans.
When the hell are we?"
This is amazing, I love these log entries. good and spooky!! Thank you so much for the comment!
Ahh yes the horrors of being a dev. Im all too familiar with this horror! I feel personally wounded quite well XD hiding bugs, 50+ delayed/scrapped projects, and PAIN. You have my condolences, and my props.
My fellow game dev! we pain together my friend 😐
It's been a WHILE
I know :( I can't express how sorry I am but I promise I didn't forget about you
Fear & Hunger music 1:10
a cookie! 🍪
You got me, the knocking effect was so real i interviewed my family for 10 minutes straight
lol 💀
6:28 holy shit that got me. subscribed
haha thanks for the support!
15:28 my idea is that Mickey caterpillar did it to avoid copyright
smart mickey!
@@lukedaworm didn’t expect an actual response lol
The other monsters want to kill the caterpillar because it has a substance that keeps the monsters alive
hmm interesting...
5:28 the squeaking in Sync with the music was dope
yooo you're such a legend for putting Pepper Steak at 2:44
💀💀💀💀
A cookie to those who know the good stuff 🍪
@@lukedaworm yay cookie
Fr i was actually vibing
everything you just listed sounded epic, hope you finish those games!
4:09 and this, (people who want/are trying for a baby) is why you don’t drink while you’re pregnant.
oof
15:59 wait what…
💀
The ones who seek, were the first to shriek.
The caterpillar their creator, and now they roam in anger.
The one they search has found a new host, and now they are more angry than most.
From pen and ink, the boat shall not sink, as for the boat is connected, it must be protected.
Mickey is still alive, but now the two must survive.
Hide during the search, fix while they lurch.
For my final sentence, don’t ignore their presence. It’s a rule unbroken, but a rule not spoken.

reading this was fun, very well done!
@@lukedaworm pls add this for lore.
Also if you update the game will you be making videos about it
I could also explain what the rhymes mean
@@lukedaworm sorry for spam, just really excited that one of my favorite creators replied to my comment!!
1:55 gotta admit, I really like the idea of the snow-tunnel game
ill do it!
@@lukedaworm yay! 😃 🤩
14:53
Vsauce Time👍
you got it!
Lore idea that would bring mat pat back-
The caterpillar doesnt control micky throughout the game, he is feasting off of his form. Micky is in control, but is slowly turning into the caterpillar, and after he fully manafests as one, he puckes up a micky, (the caterpillar which was feasting off of him). The micky then leaves the original to die. There is a plot twist, the Micky that gets face stommped, used to be the caterpillar, and possessed micky (who turns into the caterpillar that face stomps us) and the original micky eanted revenge, so through the game he is slowly gaining his original form, as the player slowly becomes a caterpillar (aka, the players original form). This would explain why he knows how to defeat each of the monsters, he was once one of them.
If you think i worded this poorly then just say so, i will rewrite it but better
i think you did fine, its an interesting idea!
7:41 looks like Winnie the pooh
i think you are right

Edit: Got confused on a thing so edited the comment after I realized.
For the lore, I think a lot of the folks here have had really wonderful ideas. A little idea I had was that perhaps the worm is actually from the Sound, somehow it got taken from there, and is now on the steamboat. It decides to take Mikey's body to be able to command the ship to get back to its "home", the Mudmyth Sound. The stuff the face was in originally when Mikey found him can kind of look like really thick mud if you think about it :o
Buuuuut by using Mikey's body, it ended up making the other monsters thing he was actually still Mikey, not one of the monsters, and now they're attacking him. Not sure. Maybe those other monsters are other people the original monster tried to take the bodies of, but continued to fail, discarding them and leaving them doomed as these awful creatures.
Peter is the one who wants to go to the Mudmyth Sound, right? Hmm. What if he's actually the secret bad guy in all of this? Secretly luring folks to come there to force them to meld with people to become weird, experimental fusions of people and mud monsters.
Maybe Mikey's in on it. Maybe that's why the face monster takes Mikey's body, to take him to get revenge. All the monsters want revenge- but because the face monster now looks like Mikey, the monsters think he is him and attack him, due to misunderstanding.
I don't know if that makes much sense, I just love a good mix-up like that in stories. ;D The idea sort of came to me as I wrote the comment which is why it's a little all over the place.
I love your lore story! Im sorry I suck at posting, I promise i will work on being better. Thank you so much for your support, here on youtube and on patreon!! You are awesome and yes that was definitely you that got eated lol
