This week's pod is up! Links in bio. It's an interview with @remysiu, the creative director of @1000xResist. We talk about games as art, diasporic narratives, dark hilarity, episodic development, the origin of "hekki", the legacy of KRZ, and much more. Enjoy!✨

@UltrosGame is a dazzlingly creative indie that revitalises the Metroidvania genre. The prismic visuals and symphonic score are a sensual treat, and the game’s ingenious ecosystem slowly blooms into a map-spanning meta-puzzle that demands patience, observation, curiosity, and creativity.

New pod out now! It's a review of #LiesOfP. Find it in your fave podcast place.
Have been enjoying the opening of Chalamet-Souls a considerable amount. These gothic fairytale dark Victoriana vibes are really doing it for me. #LiesOfP
New pod out now! #SludgeLife2, #PizzaTower, #BackpackHero, December releases, #JingleJam2023, and more.
New pod! #GoodbyeVolcanoHigh is a lush visual novel about a high-school band at the end of the world. Playing as a goth dino called Fang, we navigate crushes, fallouts, band practice, school, and role playing sessions, via dialogue choices & light rhythm gameplay. It’s an absorbing narrative game lit up by sparkling writing, sensuous art, and a dreamy guitar-pop soundtrack. @ko_opmode
New pod! #Jusant by @dontnod_ent is a zen, mechanically innovative climbing game, in which a nameless protagonist climbs a huge rock tower in a dry, deserted word. The wordless story adds some intrigue, and the methodical, tactile, handhold-by-handold climbing really shines. Find the show in your fave pod place!
New pod! #NourPlayWithYourFood is a bizarre digital toy, more than anything, which both delights and confounds. Also: #ChantsOfSenaar, #ForzaMotorsport, and more!
New pod! #UnderTheWaves offered an engrossing underwater mini-open-world to check out, alongside a sometimes-interesting story. Link in bio for the review!
#NourPlayWithYourFood was the craziest thing I've played since #Wattam. It was barely comprehensible, but somehow really fun.
#Cocoon was a tough game review. It's an impressive, cool, high-sheen indie game—that I really didn't like. It took a sec to hash out why! Find the episode on your fave pod platform.
This guy's rocket pack blew up so emphatically it... embedded him in the ceiling :') #Starfield
The #Starfield episode is up. It's a spoiler-free deep dive into the factions, combat, space travel, and more. Link in story!
This was such a cool mission. Close-quarters combat in a dying space station with the gravity flicking on and off. #Starfield
New pod out now! It's a starry one:
✨#FortSolis by @fallenleafgames is an engrossing sci-fi thriller with impressive visuals, light gameplay, and some ambiguous storytelling.
✨Plus: #SeaofStars first look, and #Starfield impressions, three hours in.
New pod—just in time for the weekend 😁
#ShotgunKing is an ingenious take on chess in which you blast the enemy pieces to smithereens. It started life as a #LudumDare game jam entry, and is out now on all consoles as "Shotgun King - The Final Checkmate". Link in bio for the full episode!
Also: Adore, #Gamescom picks, & more!
