Just finished editing this episode! Time to switch from my editing outfit (stylish cyan and blue headphones, soft hoodie with waveform motif, loose cargo pants, audio cables worn as loose necklaces, audio mixer worn on my belt as an accessory, laptop bag, color-coordinated athletic shoes, cropped but fluffy hair) to my copywriting outfit (thick glasses, woven cardigan, quill pin hairclip, cursive-inspired swirl earrings, long soft blue ponytail, letter print dress, practical navy heels)
WAIT MOMO PUT DOWN THE CAMERA I'M STILL CHANGING
In this episode: over-tutorialization, writing chops, genshin, my running around town outfit is different from my running around just-outside-of-town outfit, can we do over meeting for the first time I wasn't dressed nice enough, critically acclaimed mmorpg dress up game FFXIV, getting into dark patterns (and not dark sewing patterns), collectathons, momovision, being too jaded, we are not immune to propaganda.

Sweet Hitmarkers [-0.5s]
Solid VO [-0.4s]
Neat 2 Hour Runtime [-1.0s]
Final Rank: SI Am Your Beast slaps you in your face and doesn't really stop. It's a perfect two hour shooter, contained perfectly in its runtime. All the speed of Neon White, with none of the anime. It's great. You gotta play it.
In this episode: strange scaffold, cinematic typography (sic), this game is too good to stay on topic, HE'S STICK WIELDING, speedrunning games, pistol hitboxes, the surprise spoiler onion, brevity and hypothetical runtimes, liveplaying the installer of the next game.

We decided to prove everyone wrong by showing that Netflix Games actually has good games in its library. This is a short and sweet puzzle game that you should download right now because we know that you have a Netflix account anyway. Seriously, Don't sleep on this one.
In this episode: moving the grid, can't pick up anything, stealing Gary's last name, game so demanding it crashes your phone /j, cancel the horse, killing all the birds on twitter, playing a lot of games in a year makes it hard to decide a top 5, huh?

In space, no one can tell you how your wrenches should look... Except for Feather, who hates wrenches /j
We're tackling an excellent immersive sim that got overlooked by many when it came out, and we recommend that you do too. It's Prey (2017) (no relation to Prey (2006) (other than it was supposed to be a sequel)).
CW: there's some food talk in the postpod
In this episode: designer wrenches, push the fat guy, what if this was a roguelike, the thing that goes "whoomp" over and over, turrets are my friend, person who has only played Void Bastards: this reminds me of Void Bastards.

Is it enough to be quietly good?
If a game drops no notes and has no flaws, how can you hate it? Perhaps more importantly: you play as a bird, how the eff does Feather hate this one?
(One: I promise it's strictly coincidence all the bird games are also the best games. I have no bias here. Also: I disliked fall of porcupine, so nyeh)
(Two: I don't even hate this one! This is a perfectly fine game! That's the point!)
Anyway, Death's Door is cute and smooth and fun and it even has a tab for shiny things you find and collect and there's cute plants that follow you around and that's good enough. Probably.
It's not like you only have a limited amount of time on this earth.
What? You didn't make a contract with the Lord of Doors?
Well.
That changes things then.
In this episode: DEATH, tunics, uniqueness, dodge rolls, soul counting, modern game design, rock bag at the gift store, science, lil plant friends, story spoilers, hookshot mechanics, it's a fine game, your first video game, Devolver digital, being piloted by a squid.

It's Halloween week, and in an attempt to be spooky, we chose to play a spooky game about a man on an oil rig in the middle of the North Sea in the 70s. Some spooky shit happens. And everyone except Gary noped out at the first stealth section. Of course, instead of being scared, I cried, so y'know, you win some, you lose some.
in this episode: spooky vibes, oil rigs, walking sims, yellow paint, a gooey guy, different flavors of phobia, being scared, being spooky, being scottish, phenomenal voice acting, a different kind of fleshy, get to the choppa', a beeg sluggy man, finley's mistake, gary cries on the pod (again), questioning horror expectations

vivid/stasis mentionnnnnnnnnnnn
For a game that was recommended in the comments of a mostly/unrelated meme, this was actually a pretty/banger game. Kind/of. It's definitely a peak rhythm game, with great tracks, great maps, and simple mechanics used extremely interestingly.
Unfortunately, that's not all that's here.
Also: this one's more of a sickos mode than anything because feather hogged the entire game to herself :3 clocking a dumbass 17 hours in over the course of the week! Let that be a review and/or warning!
Join us next week as we play Still Wakes The Deep!
In this episode: other rhythm games, this game is for sickos, the strangest first song, bumper breakdown, enter the node flowchart, difficulty and accessibility options, mind-altering effects, begrudgingly: the visual novel, waking up and choosing violence, not for casuals, trying to unpack the story, interesting ambition and fascinating failures.

HELP, the Seethe is approaching!
Was this made in 2024 or 2004? Feather doesn't know. It sure is pretty, though. And the music's great. And the gameplay feels just like it did in the early oughts (in a good way). Join us in looking at overly detailed traditional japanese sweets and read all about their history while tensely awaiting the arrival of Gary's groceries.In this episode: Taiko, Good tutorials, Samurai Crabs, Bonus Objectives, Karps absolute lack of inhibitions, Spooky-ass hands, Replaying the first stage over and over, The Demon Seat.

Have you ever played the tutorial of a game and gone, "damn, this is gonna slap?" Chants of Sennaar pulls off a magic trick right from the jump, not only inviting the player to manually type in what they think a symbol might mean in a language they cannot understand, but also providing a generous mechanic for the player to "lock in" the correct definition to help with future puzzles. It's a mechanic Feather deliberately avoided participating in, and, she might have been right?
in this episode: language is fascinating, will takes on languages, stupid feather bullshit, stealth sections, note taking, an amalgamation of words, nuance in language, the place of up, a perfectly cromulent sentence, a super rosetta stone, the end of the onion, feather's hubris, so many apples

gear one: drill dozer is one of many games that have charm and execution and cool mechanics but in the end was largely neglected and forgotten because it released after its console's successor was released. like second-greatest nes platformer ever kirby's adventure, this used the console's capabilities to the absolute max - and then some, bolting on a rumble pack to push the tiny little handheld even further.
HIYA! Second Gear! Drill Dozer is an extinct kind of game, the perfect Jank-Ass Platformer that would live in the back of your game case and you'd return to over and over for years, full of secrets and cool mechanics and some genuinely bad parts that don't matter so much when you can skip around the level select looking for that last unexplored area.
HIYA! THIRD GEAR: DRILL DOZER IS A GAME THAT GOES BRRRRRRRRR WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR IT IS LARGER THAN ITS TINY HANDHELD HOST AND ALL IS FORGIVEN ONCE YOU START CRUSHING ENEMIES AND PRICELESS ANCIENT ARTIFACTS UNDERNEATH YOUR MIGHTY DRILL
In this episode: The trouble with shoulder buttons, puzzle platformers, golf platforming, the absolute pure power and bliss of shifting up to third gear, big dick truckin, will time travels, stories from the final boss, putting the game in context (next to shitass movie tie in cashgrabs)

Sometimes, it's okay to give into nostalgia. Let the bitcrunched trumpets and adorable sprites take you back to your childhood, away to a world full of potential, one full of exciting people and wonder and amazing critters who you can love and travel with and villains who want to kill everyone but are still easily defeatable by fourteen year olds.
In this ep, we speculate what happened to pokemon. Honestly, I'm not sure anything happened to it - I think that instead, something happened to us. I think we grew up, and the world grew up with us. There's no point wondering what's out beyond that horizon - we have maps, and wikis, and know there are exactly 1,025 pokemon but only 653 are in Pokemon Violet if you have all the DLCs. I don't think there's room for the antics of team rocket or team magma. I think we're all just out here, looking for a chance to feel the same way we did when we took our first steps out into that tall grass, not knowing what we were going to find.
It's a lot to expect for a little game, but maybe, this one is enough for us.
In this episode: I'M GOING TO WIN THE MOON THATS RIGHT OBAMA MY POKEMON IS SO CUTE I WON THE MOOOON, we are not pokemon experts, why does no one care what a temtem is, feather spends like ten minutes explaining pokemon contests, current lineups, catching raltz live, i heard u lik mudkipz, feeling old.

Jusant, a French word which translates to the English word "ebb" aka the movement of the tide out to sea. The ocean has receeded, bit by bit, until nothing was left but the Great Basin. And emerging from that basin, one valiant climber and their adorable little guy. Where are they going? Why are they going? What's even up there? Who knows! Find out with Karp, Will, and Gary as we travel up The Tower!
in this episode: no feather, climbing buttons, a desert full of boats, the bestest little guy, gary's folly, an indominable sense of scale, a culture built on climbing, this game needs a photo mode, getting stuck, missing collectibles, its fuckin wimdy, it's a cover climber, ballasts, Will gets stuck, the final tower

GHOST TRICK MONTH, BABY. play it play it PLAY IT
To cap this game off - and really bury it - we've brought on resident Ghost Trick expert Bluey (they/them)! The world is not ready for our combined powers, and Ghosts are everywhere and they won't stop Tricking! Things get wildly out of hand, disasters happen, people die, we travel through time, and also we talk about Ghost Trick!
Editor's note: there's so much crosstalk in this one holy hell I edited out so much crosstalk but even then there's only so much you can do cuz sometimes you gotta leave it in for effect, and that was basically half the episode - so please enjoy five people speaking simultaneously all of the time.
In this episode: the return of an infinite cities tradition, chicken dinner, , why this game didn't take off, it's really unbelievably good actually, blingee appreciation minute, failing to recap plot, chuck tingle, is this a Cabanela liker podcast, brain poisoning, we really hate curry head ok, confusing ourselves, podcasting too long.

It's always fun, following up on a game we've already done an episode about, and because we've already declared it The Month of Ghost Trick, Will and I are here to talk about the second-third of the game. Ghost trick is a game of puzzles, and ghosts, and tricks. We zoom around the screen and lament that we aren't using the original DS stylus to do so. We rewind time again and again and suffer through slow walk cycles and devestated justice ministers. We fight the oppresive nature of photo albums that don't quite reach our ghost grasp. And we learn some heavy shit. While we only get to Chapter 11, it felt like the natural stopping point after some Major Reveals (please ignore the fact that Will only finished Chapter 11 minutes before we started recording). We'll be back next week to cover the conclusion!
in this episode: the continuation of ghost trick month, ds crunchiness, frustrating puzzling, chicken flippin, cabanella ick, improper execution, feather's incompetence, order of operations, big reveals
