Mistful Crimson Morning (2025)

Pretty much no complaints with this demo. Everything is of a consistent level of quality and extremely well made. Loved absolutely everything here, especially Surrogate. How do you make a song so pragmatically otherworldly yet so captivating? Was also a big fan of all the songs having their visual styles match their source materials. Again, big shout out to the Impostward sprites at the end of Surrogate. They're so good that I genuinely question how they were even able to be made or how they look this good.

Only complaint would be the gimmick in Surrogate, funnily enough. The explanation at the start of the song is too vague and not exactly clear on how it actually works (you have to spam your space bar when the black vignette representing the eyelids comes down for anyone stuck). As is, "Keep your eyes on Him" is too vague. It's also really difficult, the gimmick gets really tricky towards the end and doesn't offer much leeway, so I didn't actually clear it, and trust me, I was mashing the fuck out of my space bar by the end, I can confirm it's really strict. I'm probably just not a very fast button masher, I can never get very good Max Bonuses in Bayonetta's button mashing segments, but I think at the least there should be a bit more leeway in a future update. I am aware that it is getting a patch soon according to the official Twitter account, by the way.

Otherwise, everything here was absolutely worth the wait. I think Surrogate's difficulty in regards to the gimmick was the only thing I didn't like, everything else is basically perfect. Keep cooking. Never stop.

my screen is black when i open the game, i tried downloading the mod from the website and from the client, but it doesn't work

This is an insanely high quality demo, with hardly any complaints to be had. One small recommendation I have is to prevent arrow lanes from crossing each other during the start of Surrogate's phase 3. 👍👍👍👍

I am speachless. The visuals of the entire mod were absolutely fabulous. The sprites were so amazingly animated.

I fricking loved coconut bfs sprites sm,

And the entire coconut fred song was just mind blowing, the art style was nailed!

I do however have some small complaints, I dont know if this is just a me problem but, Deliver, And propaganda just crashed at the end of the song for some reason.

and those are basicly all of my complaints, And my overall opinion is just "This is just insane".

Absolutely loved this. Everything was amazing here and a huge step up from the original versions of the mod. Though I have one complaint and it is that in Surrogate, the explanation for the mechanic wasn’t very clear on how it worked. I ended up watching community game play the song part way just to see how it actually worked. Also my frame rate was tanking while playing it. All the other songs I got consistent 240fps but in surrogate I was going down as far as 40fps. Other than those 2 small things this was an amazing return for MCM and I can’t wait for the full mod to release whenever that may be.
