We do not recommend attempting to survive in the frozen wilderness unless you are doing it from the safety of your living room.
For this episode, we spent an hour with the first-person survival game developed and published by Hinterland Studio. If you did not already guess, we can confirm that this one is definitely an indie title... with writing, directing, and design credits all pointing to Raphael van Lierop. Don't be fooled by its humble beginnings, though, this game has seen many updates since its launch on Steam Early Access in September 2014. The question is, will all of these improvements simply go unnoticed by two people who have never played the game before? Perhaps more importantly, with multiple playable options available to them, will our hosts even end up playing the same game? There is only one way to learn the answers to these pressing questions, so hit play now to find out!

On the surface, this episode is about is a platforming adventure game developed by Jo-Mei Games and published by Electronic Arts. Lurking below, however, is a story about coming to grips with depression and its many causes. How will we feel about tackling such a sobering narrative? Will the gameplay be compelling enough to keep us playing after the hour is up? This game may be about unraveling a mystery, but our thoughts on the matter don’t need to remain hidden in the deep. Give this episode a listen and you’ll discover our decision!

Does this simulate being the greatest of all time? Nope, it’s the other kind of goat.
Xbox Game Pass has a lot of strange offerings and when you approach their library randomly, you end up playing some novel entries. Developed and Published by Coffee Stain Studios, this third-person physics sandbox is certainly among them. Speaking of surprises, this game has also been around since 2014 and somehow neither of our hosts has ever played it. Now the question becomes, will sowing chaos as a farm animal make for a fun and engaging experience? Will our hosts feel sad or glad that they missed out on this title for the better part of a decade? Whatever the outcome, if you give this episode a listen, you are guaranteed to find out!
