Bit Storm

Ben and Trev discuss more than one game this week, including

• A Waffle Witch
• A Satisfactory inspired cleaning game
• An action adventure set against a hive mind

In a mildly spooky Halloween episode, Ben and Trevor get enthusiastic enough to talk about a single game idea the whole episode - discover the deck builder hitchhiking game that will determine if you win Hitchhiker of the Year!

A slightly early Halloween episode as we're still waiting to find out the fate of episode 300! Ben and Trevor jump off some ramped up Click Pitch to invent games such as:

playing a duck that makes people depressed;

navigating the supernatural voids in random houses;

shapeshifting your way to the throne;

the worst punishment for failing to tip at a restaurant;

and more!

This is awkward, this was supposed to be the next episode but due to technical issues this episode is releasing before episode 300. But there are words to be randomised and games to be discussed, such as

• A sock family going on a trip with their usual mode of transport
• A young child visits a family member in hospital
• A pharmacist in a gothic world.

The wait is almost up, episode 300 will soon be upon us, but this didn't stop Ben and Trev recording live from above the Main Theatre at PAX Aus 2022. Games discussed included.

• An election for a cool sun
• Gathering ingredients for a digital familiar
• Readjusting to regular life after a decade of the Purge.

In one of their last pre-300 episodes before the podcast accountants finally finish their audit, Ben and Trevor play some relatively unhinged Click Pitch, coming up with games such as:

Making a deal with an angel to age backwards through your life;

Playing a food critic influencer who has to catch ghosts with their camera;

Fighting an old hermit on the side of a mountain;

and more!

With the podcast accountants still not letting Ben and Trev call their episodes by their proper numbers, they play some more Click Pitch(TM), game ideas include:

• Aliens cooking humans
• Criminals not being able to tell who is in their crew, when everyone wears domino masks.
• A Return of the Obra Dinn inspired workplace simulator.

Still on the run from the podcasting accountants, Ben and Trevor sneak out an episode where they Click Pitch up some games, such as:

• an 80s period piece where you play twins travelling to a video game tournament to win the latest game console;
• a chilled out VR game where you take stock of your life, literally, by scanning barcodes on everything you can find
• a fourth wall breaking platform game where you can bribe the camera operator to help you get through levels
• and more!

Ben and Trev have been told by the Podcast Accountants that they are not allowed to progress to 300 episodes yet, as they haven't made up their hours yet. So they will change the numbering format for the moment. Game today include

• A zombie outbreak investigated by famous poopologist David Blayne (no relation)
• A roguelike set in a sunken temple
• Penguins on a submarine hunting for a red orca

This week Ben and Trevor discuss a metroidvania game set in a falling down Alcatraz, then deep dive into a tense horror game set 30 minutes from nowhere.
