  • 081 - Iris and the Giant, Assemble With Care, & Rogue Legacy

    Giant castles are tantalizing places, especially when you're teased with the possibility of mysterious treasures and chandeliers hiding chicken legs inside! But you might also be aware of your long line of ancestors who fell in battle as they pursued the same quest. Let's just hope we're better than them and avoid incarnating as ambilevous barbarians with vertigo.

  • 080 - Wilmot Works It Out, Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery, & Dorfromantik (Guest: hey_itsHayley)

    We talk about a lot of games with grand adventures, tough challenges, and life-changing narratives. But sometimes, a game—even a highly renowned one—is as simple as placing some tiles and taking in beautiful landscapes of your own creation. Who doesn't need that every once in a while, right?

    This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds! This episode features our guest hey_itsHayley, a variety Twitch streamer and indie game fan! In this episode, we discuss her content and taste in games. Then, we review the indie game she chose for us to play: Dorfromantik! You can see more about Hayley and her content at https://beacons.ai/hey_itshayley.

  • 079 - Desert Child, Mothmen 1966, & Sable

    It's summer, which means it's hot, which means it's time to play a game about exploring a wide open desert! A gliding bike, plenty of masks, and Japanese Breakfast are all we need to look for every chum egg we can find... wait, there are HOW many???

    Devilish escalators and nefarious playgrounds are no match for us in Octodad: Dadliest Catch, which is Season 7's co-op game! Four controllable tentacles, two gamers, and one completely normal dad: a recipe for chaotic, slippery fun.

  • 075 - COGEN: Sword of Rewind, The Room Three, & ANIMAL WELL (Guest: Jeremy Reineck of Moon Soul Games)

    A blob, a sinister face, a squirrel you can't catch, and four flames. What does it all mean? In this dark labyrinth, we find the uncanny lurking around every corner, and there's seemingly no way out. Our only hope might involve finding a few dozen eggs and throwing a disc at everything we see.

    This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds! This episode features our guest Jeremy Reineck, a musician, game developer, and creator of the 2024 JRPG Grand Soul Story. In this episode, we interview Jeremy about developing Grand Soul Story, his inspirations, and his other backgrounds. Then, we discuss the indie game he chose for us to play: ANIMAL WELL!

  • 074 - Grand Soul Story, VIDEOVERSE, & Her Story

    Bust out the pen and paper and dust off that old monitor, because it's time to dig through hundreds of archival video clips! In seven police interviews, each more eyebrow-raising than the last, a woman weaves an unforgettable yarn through storytelling, subtlety, and even song. This is Sam Barlow's inaugural FMV experience, and it's as unpredictable as a spontaneous road trip to Glasgow.
