March 08, 2022 007 - House, Sky: Children of the Light, & Carrion
Reverse horror? What's that? Instead of the game scaring you, do YOU scare the game? This was just one of the questions we had as we got our hands on Carrion, our Featured Game from Phobia Game Studio. Listen also for our thoughts on a few Secret Games featuring sinister time loops and online cloud-soaring platforming.

March 01, 2022 006 - Transistor, Super One More Jump, & Hades
Giant swords and dizzying jumps are just a few hallmarks of our Secret Games. Then there's our Featured Game, and we're tackling a big one: Hades. It might not be the first Supergiant Games game, but it's certainly the most Supergiant Games game. Wrapping our arms around the details and systems of this insurmountably large experience is quite an impressive feat. The brash Theseus would be proud.

February 22, 2022 005 - The Big Con, Jazzpunk: Director's Cut, & Bugsnax
We begin by laying out our roadmap for Season 1 of the podcast; 10 regular episodes and a bonus recording are in the works. We explore nostalgic 90s crimes and an alternate history espionage farce with our Secret Games. Then, we hop on the first flight to Snaktooth Island, the home of our Featured Game from Young Horses: (OH-OOH-OHHH, it's) Bugsnax!

February 15, 2022 004 - The Mummy Demastered, Hoa, & Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge is arguably the most Metroid-like Metroidvania out there. One of us had played it previously, the other hadn't. After revealing and reviewing our Secret Games, we bring two different perspectives to our review of Thomas Happ's magnum opus.

February 08, 2022 003 - Machinarium, Maquette, & Manifold Garden
Coincidences abound in the form of alliteration and genre! Yes, our Secret Games have several things in common with each other as well as Manifold Garden, our Featured Game from William Chyr Studio. No, we didn't mutually plan all the synergy. Sometimes it just happens that way.

February 01, 2022 002 - Later Alligator, ART SQOOL, & Night in the Woods
Sometimes games are more than what they seem at first glance. With Night in the Woods from the studio Infinite Fall, we expected a carefree and modest sidescrolling platformer. However, we quickly found out there's a lot more going on under the surface—in some ways literally. We dive into it here after reviewing a few Secret Games.
