Wolfie lives!

Load up at the smorgasbord of horror tropes as we get together with our group of - are these supposed to be friends? - while we play the just-a-heterosexuality-simulator-until-the-murders-start with the 2015 horror video game, Until Dawn and its 2024 remake. We are joined by voice actor, Matt Bartlett (podcast credits: CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story, Do You Copy?, Nightmares Unleashed) while we survive jump scares, rough dialogues, and cultural appropriation as we all attempt to survive Until Dawn.

DON'T MOVE! Unless you need to check out more Matt on The QueerXP.
