Playdate x Panic Podcast — Untitled Goose Game
Since there’s no new episode of the Playdate Podcast this week, we thought you’d enjoy this episode of the Panic Podcast, which is all about Australian indie game developers House House, Untitled Goose Game, and what any of this had to do with a little company known for making Mac and iOS software in Portland, OR.
