The Gaming Outsider

Join Scott and Zach who welcome two special guests, Kristina Flores and Jimmy Ninetoes, to discuss Doki Doki Literature Club. This strange, trojan horse of a horror game looks innocent at first glance, but becomes something much more sinister later into the game. The foursome explore the themes of the game, some of the surprises and the pros and cons of such a unique experience. This episode is full of spoilers so we recommend playing through the game first before listening.
