One of the things I need to more on the show is interview indie game devs and this week's episode is my first attempt in a long while to do that. I'm joined by Australian game designer Sam Leitch to talk about his upcoming game Wren's Resurgence. Sam was incredibly kind and asked for feedback on his demo during the recording! It was a really fun experience for me to get a small peak behind the curtain of indie game development and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

It has been 25 years since the Sega Dreamcast came out. And while the system may have been short lived it's impact is still felt today. Joining me to talk all about Sega's final home console are my friends Andrew from The EXP Point and Coury from My Life in Gaming. We talk about Sega's follies leading up to the Dreamcast's launch, what the system did right and how unfortunate timing ultimately doomed the system. We also count down Andrew's top 10 Dreamcast games!

We all have backlogs. I usually pick games from it for my Patreon polls to help me work through it steadily. But sometimes I just pick a game off of it with no intention of playing it for the show and then I enjoy it so much I feel like I have to. Alan Wake was one of those games for me. Joining me on this episode are Phil Morgan from the Deleted Saves podcast and Matt aka Stormageddon to break down Alan Wake from Remedy Games.

This episode delves into some heavy topics, expecially later on in the episode so please note the content warning below along with the time stamp for where that portion starts.

WHERE IS SHE!? This week on the show it's all about the Dark Knight himself, Batman. I'm joined by one of my closest IRL friends Heather! Heather is one of the biggest Batman fans I know so I had to have her on the show to talk about her favorite super hero. We talk about our favorite elements of the game, we ask if it still holds up and we also imagine what would it be like if Batman brought the wrong explosive gel with him while fighting crime.

What is this? A game that actually isn't retro? Well it's about damn time. I'm joined by voice actor, audio engineer and podcaster Geoff Moonen to talk about Animal Well a insanely creative and fun indie game that came out on May 9th this year. Similarly like Tunic, this game is all about secrets and explores how to give players enough bread crumbs to piece together the secrets without making it too obvious or too obtuse. Geoff and I have a wonderful conversation all about how this game guides us players along, how it reveals it's various levels of secrets and how it encourages you to keep exploring and trying new things. Listen now and delve into the many layers of this episode.
