Welcome, welcome, one and all to episode 125! I'm joined by Emily from the No Small Games podcast! She and Kate (who was on the show to chat about Magical Delicacy), are part of the Indie Game Awards! Be sure to check out that list since it came out earlier this week.

We have quite the chat about Phoenix Springs, a game that has gorgeous presentation but frustrating gameplay. We go through all major plot points (but save spoilers for the end) so be warned! Although honestly, I don't think this game can be spoiled easily. It's a tough nut to crack.

Please support Emily on her Twitch channel and check out the No Small Games podcast as well too!
