Geeks & Grounds

We dig into the video game crushes of Jenny and Joel's past as well as the current suitors -- Bruno and Andile -- that we face in our playthrough of Thirsty Suitors!

We are THIRSTY this week for Diya, one of the suitors we meet in Jala's journey. Jenny and Joel discuss chapters 2 and 3 of Thirsty Suitors, as well as some community Steam Next Fest demo recommendations!

This homecoming is NOT the ideal we'd hope for! We kick off playing Thirsty Suitors this week, and learn that not only has Jala returned home because of a bad breakup... but there's a lot of unfinished business left for her work through.

Do you think the Solstice update was a worthwhile addition to OneShot? We discuss that and more as we conclude our playthrough of OneShot this month!

We've gotten to the Tower in OneShot, and all I wanna know: what decision did YOU make? We chat all about why we chose the way we did, in addition to what it's like to play games as an adult!

What's at the top of the tower? We discuss that this week in our final episode of 2023! We finish up our discussion on Jusant, celebrate even more top titles (and creative end of the year categories), and say goodbye to 2023!

Enjoy meditative vibes in Jusant, an action-puzzle climbing game. Scale an immeasurably tall tower and ascend to new heights alongside your watery companion.

The mystery deepens, and we dive into vertical cities, the connection to nature, and how we think the game is doing in guiding us through the lore! Here's our second week of discussing Jusant!

We begin our ascent, and learn that this tower holds far more secrets than initially let on! Jenny and Joel discuss their initial impressions of Jusant's mechanics and stories, and start to theorize on what'll be in store for the rest of the tale.
