For their discussion of two of the most interesting games of the year thus far - Papers Please and Gone Home - Saul, Paul and Andrew are joined by the enigmatic Tim Stobo (formally of Team Bondi and now of hard-to-articulate indie studio Quests End Games).

Both games share a focus on minutiae and involve lots of reading, but what is it that makes each of them a uniquely special experience? Is Papers Please fun, or an interesting-but-tedious chore? Does Gone Home break if you go off the beaten path? All this and more examined in anxious detail in this weeks episode.

Our bonus topic this time around is GoGs answer to Steam Greenlight - an indie-publishing service that makes up for in interesting promises what it lacks in catchy names (it doesnt appear to have one at all).
