Inscryption took indie lovers by storm in 2021 and one thing that continually jumped out at me and many others while playing was the haunting score! In this episode I (Odhrán) sat down with Inscryption composer, Jonah Senzel to get to the heart of what makes the score so intriguing and mystical.

Indie developers make up the heart of the gaming industry and I've always loved exploring indie titles whether they've been created over the course of a few years or just a few hours. They have an intrinsic ability to push our perception of what can and can't be a game and I've always loved the dedication shown by developers when it comes to creating these projects. In this second episode of Indie Insight I sat down with indie developer John Szymanski to talk all things games, Kyle is Famous and what he's working on!
