Ellie May couldn't make it this week, so we snagged Kevin the Arcadologist to talk about the classic 1993 point and click Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet! Along the way, we talked Control, Fallout 4, and maybe hinted at a game we'll be covering in an upcoming episode.

Join Ellie May and Phil for an evening of beer, 90's hip hop, aliases, and a little indie game called Faith. ...or is it Priest? Or Pray?

We'll figure it out.

It's time for some good old-fashioned anthology horror on Playing Dead! Join Ellie May and Phil as they talk about Stories Untold: a retro indie horror puzzle game with twists, turns, and text-based adventures. Come for the game, stay for 9.5 abv beer, impossibly disgusting speculation on reproduction, and all kinds of cool facts and stories.

Possibly one of the best horror games ever made, Alien: Isolation takes your completely natural fear of being eaten by a schlong-headed xenomorph and dances merrily through your psyche with its double-jawed goodness. Oh, this is one we've been waiting for. Come for Alien, stay for discussions on what we're reading, 90's hip hop, and desperate searches for birth certificates.

The NES years of Castlevania covered a lot of ground, and inspired some of the best spooky action games of the modern age. Join Ellie May as they talk about these classics, including a special love for Simon’s Quest. Oh! And a little D&D talk, frightened doggos, American McGee’s Alice, and much more.

Introducing the Playing Dead Podcast! Today, Ellie May and Phil talk about the Capcom horror classic: Resident Evil 2, including their experiences with the new remaster. Oh, and there’s also stuff about the new Child’s Play movie, and the kind of women that make them break out in a cold sweat.
