A smattering of minisodes. We cover: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, Cult of the Lamb, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, and also, more quickly: Dear Esther, Resident Evil Village (demo), Venba, Madison Karrh's "Birth", The Master's Pupil, Terra Nil, Suzerain, Roadwarden, Dave the Diver (speculative), Inscryption, Haven, Deathloop, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Viewfinder, Forza Horizon 5 & Rally Mexico/Hot Wheels DLCs, and Ace Attorney Chronicles. (Whew! 😅)

Also covered: A psychology test from UW Madison that reveals interesting patterns in how you think - whether you're a visual thinker, whether you visualize language, and whether you have an internal monologue.

Alan Wake from the Control universe

We explore the historical and theological sides of Josh Sawyer's Pentiment with an enjoyer of all things Lutheran.

We journey deep into City 17 in true first person mode, and discover who employs the G-Man.

We explore a procedural Chicago, in which we were twice joined by an open-hearted A$AP Rocky.

We journey to the hopeless glittering land of Revachol, where tides of history wash over citizens in ways we are unaccustomed to.

We reconvene after giving Immortality some time, and ingesting some thinkpieces.
