New podcast: Alan Wake II “We can find our way through the darkness. We will break through the surface and crash into the light.” Sit with us as we recount the recursive, multidimensional and meta tale of Alan Wake II. Parautilitarians unite with Leon, Karl (who forgot which mic to record with!) and Leah – and community correspondents – as we attempt to unfold and unpick the meshed manuscripts of Remedy’s pulpy protagonist.

New podcast: Amnesia: Rebirth After handing over development duties on the previous entry in the series to The Chinese Room, Frictional Games had the unenviable task of creating a follow-up to SOMA. In an attempt to merge the horror of the Amnesia series with the heavy narrative aspects of SOMA, Frictional risked not pleasing anybody. Chris Worthington, Jon and Sean look at how Amnesia: Rebirth stands up in its own right. Available now for free on podcast platforms, Spotify and/or our website. Links in bio.

New podcast: Escape from Monkey Island (early access) By the year 2000 the popularity of the traditional point and click adventure was waning.

Leon, Ryan and Tony wrestle with the keyboard-based tank controls, moon-logic puzzles and Monkey Kombat in their attempts to Escape from Monkey Island. Available now (one month early) from our $2 Patreon. Links in bio.

New podcast: Inscryption “Another challenger… it has been ages.” You find some GPS coordinates that lead to a buried trove of floppy disks. What could go wrong?
