In this episode we discuss Transistor, which Epic gave away from April 18 to May 2, 2019. We focus on defining the boundaries of the RPG genre, discussing how 2014 was an important moment in the history of gaming more broadly, and comparing Transistor to other Supergiant games. Since both of us have also played Transistor years ago, we also consider the role memory and aging have on how we approach games. Trigger warning: due to the nature of the game's themes, we do discuss suicide in this episode.
