For part 2 of the FN Video Game Swap, we're talking about Lost In Random! Lost in Random is an action-adventure game developed by Zoink and published by Electronic Arts. Part of the EA Originals program, the game was released 10 September 2021. It was the final game developed by Zoink prior to their consolidation into Thunderful Development.

We talk about the card-based combat system and how it's a super interesting idea that overstays its welcome sometimes. We also discuss how much we love the setting, writing, and world and how it all reminds us of movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Boxtrolls or Coraline. And with a sequel coming out next year, we chat about some things we'd like to see improved on when it releases.
We close the episode with a fun trivia game that you won't want to miss!Support the show

Continuing our month of spooky Halloween themed episodes, Andrew, Aubrey and Dylan are discussing their top three favorite spooky/scary video games on this episode! First, our hosts talk about what qualifies a game to be on our scary/spooky lists. Then, they give their honorable mentions some time in the spotlights and discuss why they didn't make the cut.

After that, it's finally time to dive into the lists! Andrew isn't a fan of horror so his list is a bit on the mid side but still includes some fantastic games. Aubrey went for vibes, so her list contains some entries that aren't traditionally scary but can definitely put you in that Halloween mood. Dylan is the resident horror game fan on this show. His list is much more in line with what you probably expected when you read the title.
The episode wraps up with the responses that were submitted to the FN Gamer's Discord server. It's a great list of horror/spooky games so if you've been looking for something to play this Halloween, look no further!
