Marie Enger, artist and game designer, combats a fear of one of the prompts:

• Shrieking
• Worms
• GPS augmented reality phone game

And they do that by making a game called Worm Calling, a geocaching-esque game where you must uncover a little worm friend using audio cues. Try to pinpoint a worm's location by following the audio trail on your phone - just make sure you beat the birds to it!

Follow Marie on Bluesky @SoEngery, and check out their games, Death to the Wizard Kings and Casket Land!

Bree Paulsen, author and artist of graphic novels like The Firelight Apprentice, brings a lot of spooky scary coze to the podcast with the prompts:

• Cerebral
• Premise: a worker at a temp agency is mistaken sent to the underworld and has to ferry souls down the river styx and she must navigate it and figure out how to do that, Title: Charon is Caring
• 2D fighting game

A spooky/cerebral experience grounded with the structure of a 2d fighting game leads to Grey, a smart and emotional game where you defeat your lingering shames and doubts by punching them. Mostly in the form of your extended family, who waver between humans and monsters. Punching your aunt is cheaper than therapy!

Sophia Ricciardi, host of Moviestruck and member of Rolling with Difficulty, helps create an alibi for a totally new word:

• latibulative (to hide in a corner)
• Sidekick
• FMV point and click

In Sideclick, you play as a hero's best friend, helping them on their day off... but finding a mystery where there is none! This extremely Philadelphia-based game sees you sneaking around the lairs of beloved Philly bullies like The Fowl and Ben Franklin, hoping to put a stop to their mayhem before it starts. And now, for SEO supremacy: latibulative latibulative, latibulative. Latibulation. Latibute.

Be sure to listen to Audio Maverick, a 9-part documentary podcast by Cuny TV about Himan Brown, one of the most visionary figures in radio. Eight of the nine episodes are available now, so catch up!

• Blue collar job simulator
• Bleak Play-to-Lose, Papers Please-style

In "Porous," you must track down the long sticky tendrils of Pore-Bearer, the elder creature clogging up the city's pipes. But that's not the greatest horror: you also have to do paperwork!

Emmett Watkins Jr, writer for VGU.tv and host of Player's Club Podcast, brings his expertise of traversal games to the prompts:

• Speedrun Optimized
• Cycle of life for a forest
• knowledge-gated progression

A surprisingly environmentally-focused game, "Amazon Vine" sees you replanting a forest using sick stunts, and reaping the benefits in later stages of the forest. Plant a grove of bamboo to get height and bounce, encourage some birds to eat berries and spread the seeds, and take down the blimp overloads that are ruined the earth.

Danny O'Dwyer, documentary maker and founder of NoClip, tackles some difficult questions, like how do you create truth in history, and some difficult prompts, like:

• Psychadelic
• A time-traveler arrives from the future to stop you from committing an unspecified act that leads to catastrophe on their timeline. The setting is flexible and can be determined by the adjective, but the player character should not have a conventionally powerful job or hobby, and the traveler should be as cagey as possible about the nature of the catastrophe
• A game where you can't tell if you're playing or not

There's only one game you could make with prompts like this, and it's a time traveling game about repressing teen horniness! "Mood Ring: Edging of Tomorrow" put you in control of both fate and a smart house, which you'll use to prevent a future criminal (perhaps... yourself??) from being born!

Follow Danny on Bluesky @DannyOdwyer! Check out the first episode of NoClip's Dwarf Fortress documentary, and then all the rest of the episodes after that! Pick up a Blu-Ray of the NoClip Hades documentary here.

Izzy Kestrel, indie game dev and Gexpert, tackles a special returning prompt with:

• borborygmic (“of or relating to a rumbling or gurgling sound caused by the movement of gas in the intestines)
• Surgery
• all control inputs are opposite

The resulting game, "Reflections of a Surgeon: Control Issues," will test your patience as you work on patients in a number of mirror worlds. Start out with a normal keyboard layout, then be prepared to flip and turn it till you have mastered it in every direction!

Follow Izzy on Bluesky @iznaut to see more about her secret GEX RELATED PROJECT when it drops, and check out her games on Itch at Iznaut! In particular, enjoy Lavendar Crush, which I mentioned in this episode.
