I'm (Zach) late to the party, but if you haven't played "Unpacking" yet you absolutely should! The sound and music in that game are absolutely the backbone of that experience!

Link to our breakdown and love letter to this game in our bio!

In all my years, I’ve seen many battles, countless heroes rise and fall. But none as awe-inspiring as him. A titan among men, standing alone against a horde of nightmares. Outnumbered? He didn't flinch. Not once.

There he stood, his armor gleaming under the harsh, alien moonlight, hands glowing with an unearthly psychic energy. The creatures circled him, their dark forms shifting and hissing, ready to pounce. But he was unshaken, a fortress of resolve amidst the chaos.

And when he struck, oh, when he struck, the universe itself seemed to hold its breath, witnessing the birth of a legend
