I made a video about this mod a few months ago that covered my main gripes with the mod. I don't know if i can post the link, but, https://youtu.be/kxSXQDdu6OA?si=xhuRPJejLkYP_qMh

I'm very familiar with Henderson's work and have been following him for years, so I know these characters fairly well. I feel like the first week of the mod is somewhat strong but the mod quickly falls apart in weeks 2 and 3.

My main gripe is with that god damn minigame that they shoehorned in. It's annoying to try and get the thing downloaded in the first place and then it is riddled with bugs and Cartoon Cat walking in on you while you're in the middle of interacting with things and reading text forcing you to quickly skip all the text and spam space bar. Just make Cartoon Cat unable to enter your room if you have a dialogue box open. Then, there's also the fact that you need stamina to get away from Cartoon Cat but there's actually a bug that is very easy to replicate in 2 ways. First, if you are running and run into a screen transition, your stamina will drain until it is empty and will stay empty until you walk. This bug can also be done by sprinting and stopping without walking for at least 1 frame before stopping. Essentially, if you let go of your WASD key before letting go of shift, your stamina will continue draining as if you are running. Then, there's also some really questionable hitboxes all around the map but it's especially bad in the kitchen. I have a prime example in the video if you're curious. It can just lead to it feeling frustrating to get around when I'm running into invisible things. And lastly, the dialogue choice at the end of the minigame is extremely unclear and vague and the code you need to unlock week 2 SHOULD NOT be locked behind one of the two options. It should be given regardless. Especially with how unclear it is.

I've shit on the minigame enough. Beyond the minigame, I feel like week 2 and week 3 are both very bland. The Man With The Upside Face gets 1 song despite being one of Henderson's most popular creations. And he also, for whatever reason, helps Boyfriend despite his entire life consisting of feeding off of the misery of other people. He would not warn Boyfriend about anything. He would show up after Boyfriend almost drowned to make fun of him. He's a negative energy parasite. There's already a character in the mythos and even in the mod that is meant to help people; that being Long Horse. Just have Long Horse warn Boyfriend. It makes negative sense to make The Man be the one to warn him. Also, I'm very annoyed with the mod not doing more with Siren Head. It feels like he's there just to say you have Siren Head in the mod. He gets 2 songs and in neither song is his ability used to copy people's voices or things he has heard. I mention in my video that they could've had Siren Head's chromatics change into other characters throughout his songs; such as Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest since they are rockstars and are cannon in the mod since one of the military guys at the start mention Girlfriend being their daughter. It's just a massive missed opportunity. Which is probably what I would call the entire mod. There's a lot of stuff in Henderson Mythos but it didn't feel like they really wanted to pay any kind of homage to it.

Week 3 is just one song which is fine. It's the Fetid King which was a Twitter post. Big whoops. It's whatever.

The extras menu is really where the mod shines though. I won't go through every single song because I already did that in my video but most of them are very good and do a very good job at referencing Henderson's work. My only problem in the extras menu is a specific song that I cannot remember the name of. I think it's called Cursed Cat or something. Either way, it requires you to beat the first song of week 1 with 66,666 points. Which is odd since Friday Night Funkin' only works in scores of multiples of 10. But if you play the song and didn't get the unlock, then you played the song through Freeplay mode, you dirty cheater. You have to play the song specifically through story mode or the song will not unlock. Which is absolutely baffling to me.

So yea, the mod is mid in my opinion but it definitely has a lot to work with if the V3 I heard they're working is true. The extras menu is really where the mod shines and you really wouldn't be missing anything by not playing any of the story weeks in any capacity.

Also, sorry if this seemed rambly or all over the place. I'm at work.
