We're making ROOM for Duskmourn this week as we get ready for the format to drop on Tuesday and reflect on our experiences in Early Access and Pre-Release Weekend. The Teeter-Totter is flipped with us walking back a lot of takes from last week, getting lower on Manifest Destiny...errr...Dread and much higher on Rooms and Eerie. Plus, lots of over and underperformers to discuss and the return of the post-credits blooper!
