Recent indie hit Blue Prince, a game developed by one person over 8 years, was also a critical darling. This podcast, a listening experience developed by two people over one hour, is what you’re listening to. Hey, maybe you’ll be our critical darling. Or not. Jeez.

great episode, y’all’s conversation about the level of frustration one is willing to put up with took me back to old games like 7th guest, monkey island, and tex murphy.

2025-06-17 00:16:06 +0000 UTCWould love to see you guys cover a character action game, eg. Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising. Don't think you've covered the genre yet and you'd both have interesting takes, especially given the love for souls and Sifu.
