    Sep 3 2024

    Children of the Solstice, assemble! For our final standard episode of the season, we traverse a large world filled with cursed monsters, quirky pirates, and alluring Wheels tables. The journey is long, and the Fleshmancer doesn't make it easy, but a lunar monk, solar blade dancer, and warrior cook can find a way.

  • 064 - flOw, The Room Two, & Chants of Sennaar
    Aug 27 2024

    We've found the formula... for friendship and indie games! We become proud polyglots in a place inspired by the Tower of Babel, and along the way, we meet several cultures with very different lifestyles. Will we click with the thick-skulled warriors, or perhaps the baffling bards? Know, we do; out, you will find!

  • 063 - Xeodrifter, El Paso, Elsewhere, & Axiom Verge 2
    Aug 20 2024

    It's another milestone for us: our first proper sequel in the featured game spot! Axiom Verge 2 takes us to a strange Antarctica and an even stranger world beyond. What will billionaire Indra Chaudhari find there? What is Hammond Corp up to? How many times can we say "Amashilama" without getting tongue-twisted? Only by revisiting this universe and comparing its two games will we find the answers.

  • 062 - Happy Game, Garden Galaxy, & DREDGE (Guest: Katerblossom)
    Aug 13 2024

    Greetings from Maine—er, Greater Marrow! With plenty of coastal villages and sea life, it seems like the perfect destination for adventurous anglers, but beware: staying awake beyond degen hours will lead to sleep deprivation AND Eldritch horror sightings. Let's get weird and see that panic meter maxed out.

  • 061 - FAR: Lone Sails, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, & Viewfinder
    Aug 6 2024

    With all the world's flora gone, we enter a simulation where art and forgotten research intersect, looking for one last hope. 2D images become 3D environments, an inquisitive AI cat keeps us company, and we wonder what we might look like if we were to take a selfie. Did we mention there's a watermelon filter? Yeah, that's a thing, too.

  • 060 - Curse Crackers: For Whom the Belle Toils, Post Void, & Pizza Tower
    Jul 30 2024

    What's your favorite pizza? Do you like cheese and that's it? Are you a pineapple person? Have you forsaken olives? In Pizza Tower, we can find all the toppings we want, but we must wall jump and body slam our way through big baddies like Pepperman, the Vigilante, and the Noise, all while controlling Peppino Spaghetti, indie gaming's most anxious protagonist. It's "Very A Nice."

  • 059 - OVIVO, Billy Bumbum: A Cheeky Puzzler, & COCOON
    Jul 23 2024

    The legendary game designer Jeppe Carlsen has a new studio and debut, and it's time to literally come out of our shells! As a beetle-like creature explores a world (within a world, within a world, etc.), we get the impression that something cosmic is at play—or maybe the Orb Guardian just wants to play a little tennis.
