The Pitch

And the award for "most obscure Lovecraft game adaptation" goes to... This thing. It's actually not that bad, though! While this is our first Hidden Object game, the genre was extremely popular with casual gamers for a while. And this seems like a good one, eschewing most of the pixel hunting for a basic point-and-click adventure setup. We honestly thought this would be worse.

Everything To Guppy is a bite-sized, four-times weekly comedy/gaming podcast in which Gary Butterfield (Watch Out For Fireballs) and William Hughes (The A.V. Club) attempt to analyze every single item, boss, character, and concept in the rogue-lite video game The Binding Of Isaac. They manage to pull it off only slightly less than 50 percent of the time.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Knockout City, Slipways, and we ask you what stats you wish games kept track of for you.

• Dennis: Knockout City. Slay the Spire.
• Ben: Room to Grow. Slipways. Subnautica: Below Zero. Portal Reloaded.
• David: Outward.
• Kole: Bowser’s Fury.

• What stat do you wish games kept track of for you?

• The PlayDate handheld has a price and a preorder window.
• New Warhammer 40k game from Vermintide team is coming.
• Terra Nil is a reverse city builder.
• The Bo Burnham comedy special is good.

The first trailer for Elden Ring was revealed today, and we have some thoughts. This is a short reaction 'cast where we talk about what was revealed, and lay out a little bit of planning for the immediate future of the show.

This week we play the opinionated magnum opus of an opinionated creator. The Witness, created by Jonathan Blow, attempts to use puzzles and geometry to change the way you see the world, and create an engine for repeating the "a-ha!" moment over and over again. It ties one hand behind its back by communicating its mechanics in an entirely nonverbal fashion. Does it succeed at its lofty goals? Listen in to find out.

Thanks, Simon!

Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

This delightful nugget of a game is bursting with imagination. Almost no ideas are repeated in this colorful, generous buffet of a game. Also, we talk briefly about the very, very good Bowser's Fury. 

 Thanks Joelle!
