Did you see the eyes in the dark?
In early 2022, the two-person team at Argentina based LCB Game Studio, and publisher Chorus Worldwide are releasing Mothmen 1966 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and Linux. Mothmen 1966 is a tale exploring the strange happenings of the Leonid meteor shower of 1966 and how it is connected to sightings of the human-sized, red-eyed winged creatures of the night.
Mothmen 1966 will be the first of a trilogy of Pixel Pulp visual novels, all releasing next year on PC/Mac/Linux and consoles. A genre coined by the studio themselves, Pixel Pulps are fast-paced, beautifully told, and gorgeously illustrated visual novels inspired by the pulp fiction of the mid-20th century and 80s home computer graphics. Featuring cults, monsters, cryptids, crime stories, lost civilizations, and more, the Pixel Pulps series is a love letter to pulp fiction.
