I'll admit that I wasn't entirely certain what to expect from Mother She Wrote, since the premise is so absolutely niche. Audio drama reenactments of a cult videogame? Detailed analyses of the game as an experience AND as a cultural phenomenon? A new original soundtrack in the style of the original Nintendo music? There's just so much happening here! I'm a huge fan of Cat Blackard's other work on Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program, but I was still completely blown away by what she and Jessica Mudd have accomplished in MSW! The audio drama sections are compelling and polished, the conversations are fascinating and meticulously researched, and the music underlying all of it is is delightful and often quite moving! It's also often laugh-out-loud funny:MINNIE: "Why is that crow smoking a cigarette?"CROW (in background): *squack!* *Cough* *Cough*MOM: "Okay, we're playing inside today!"Something about Jess's Mudd's delivery of that last line just cracks me up every time I hear it! Mother She Wrote is an ambitious but accessible exploration of the Earthbound/Mother games that is fascinating and enjoyable even if...like me... you have never played the original games! It's unlike anything else out there in the best possible ways! You owe it to yourself to check it out!
