This week we played Heaven Will Be Mine, a visual novel about three female mech pilots tearing through space, battling, flirting, making out, and fighting for what they believe in. The game contains Poetic and dense writing about themes surrounding LGBTQ+, discrimination, space, and what it means to be human. This one was right up our alley! If you've never played it we do summarize it as best we can! Topics include: conquering challenging writing, representation styles, ending interpretations, personal connections, and much more! Be sure to check out our color fact at the end too! It's a good one!

XBOX360 era design, Women in their UNDERGARMENTS, and predictions for the 2nd act! This is part 1 of probably 3 so if your interested in more of the meat we'll be getting to that next!

This week we finally talk about a game that Alex has had his eyes on for a while now, Maquette. We also take some time to say farewell to season 6(?) as Plant Facts from Michael goes on hiatus for a bit and a new season closer starts taking shape. Talking points this time include: Just being so dang quirky, who exactly is Ron Howard, puzzle mechanics as a storytelling mechanism, and steam speedruns disguising themselves as walkthroughs.

This week we just took it easy! Hey can you blame us? We work so incredibly hard. This episode we discussed some games we've been playing that don't really need a full spot on the podcast. Alex also brings an interesting topic to the table about talking through the media you consume (really interesting stuff here folks). Games include: Katamari Damacy, Dyson Sphere Project, Monster of the Week, Ori and the Will of the Wisp, Valheim, and Control.

We're back this week and delving deep into the sci-fi stealth action in Echo by Ultra Ultra, a game we both desperately wanted to love. Talking points include: Limited story context, great ideas vs execution, and like 15 minutes on Detective Pikachu to tie it all together.
