  • 071 - Everything, WHAT THE CAR?, & Untitled Goose Game (Guest: Óscar Losada Suárez from Triband)

    It's a lovely morning in the village and we are playing as an amazing character. By hiding, honking, and harassing, we terrorize a quaint English village through one of indie gaming's most ruthless villains: a goose. That's right, just a goose, as normal and untitled as they come.

    This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds! This episode features our guest Óscar Losada Suárez, a multidisciplined game developer from Triband, the creators of games like WHAT THE GOLF? and WHAT THE CAR? In this episode, we interview him about his process for creating humorous, one-of-a-kind games. Then, we discuss the indie game he chose for us to play: Untitled Goose Game! You can learn more about Triband at https://triband.net/⁠.

  • 070 - Cris Tales, Fruitbus, & OneShot: World Machine Edition

    What newfound responsibility we have for ourselves: as gods, we oversee a messiah, and what better messiah to accompany than a cat-person? A lot rests on their little shoulders, and we only get one shot. Will they carry a lightbulb to the center of a dilapidated world, or will it all shatter?

  • 069 - Owlboy, Minishoot' Adventures, & FEZ

    Gomez, one of indie gaming's classic little guys, is in for a shock as a new dimension reveals itself at the top of Villageville. The hunt for scattered cubes is on, and many innovative rotational puzzles are waiting as a 2D world becomes something entirely new. After more than a decade since release, it's time for us to take FEZ for a "spin."

  • 068 - LUNARK, Valley Peaks, & Katana ZERO (Guest: Noah Lone, AKA SomeHumbleOnion)

    Subject Zero is in for quite the series of therapy sessions! What starts as a brooding action thriller quickly turns into a disorienting trip of hypnotic hallucinations and tantalizing dialogue trees. We've experienced the story of an amnesiac, and we hope we never forget it.

    This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds! This episode features our guest Noah Lone, AKA SomeHumbleOnion, creator of Smushi Come Home, a 3D platformer about a mushroom finding its way home. Noah is our first-ever game developer guest, and in this episode, we interview him about becoming a dev and bringing Smushi's world to life. Then, we discuss one of his favorite indie games he chose for us to play: Katana ZERO! You can find SomeHumbleOnion in many places online, including Instagram and itch.io.

  • 067 - Astronite, Grunn, & Inscryption

    Welcome to Season 7! What secrets lie hidden within Inscryption? Oh, but wait, are we talking about the card game Inscryption or the video game Inscryption? Perhaps looking closer at the cards can tell us mor- uhhh... is that a talking STOAT? We are so very puzzled in the best possible way.

The journey is long, and the Fleshmancer doesn't make it easy, but a lunar monk, solar blade dancer, and warrior cook can find a way.
