Infinite Cities

BREACH! Tactical Breach Wizards is a turn based tactical combat puzzle game, driven mostly by its excellent character writing and humorous story telling. This game pulls you in with incredibly well designed levels mixed with its style and banter. Please go play this game its truly excellent In this ep, we mostly gush about how truly excellent this game is in design and writing. Other gridbased tac...

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 mechan...

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 e...

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....

Will and Gary are hijacking this week to give us more time with Drill Dozer and also get out our first impressions on Star Wars: Outlaws! I have a feeling we'll probably be getting together about this one again in the future, but don't hold your breath, y'know? in this episode: intros, syndicate relationships, earnest kay, abilities, speeder bike horse, auto save failures, the worst imperial stati...

If you die in the dream you die in real life. Only you can't die in this dream. Just pick up cans and chess pieces and put them down again. And walk on cheese wedges. It's a great game. In this episode: No Will, worse Portal, looking at things from a new angle, soup minute, infinity mirrors, domino doors, playing with expectations, sudden change in what the next game will be. ~shoutouts zone~ yayo...

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 To...

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: th...

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 thro...

Have you ever been ghosted? tricked? bamboozled? Well get ready, cause this week we aren't talking about Ghost Trick after all! Karp is away, so Feather, Will and Gary decided to spend some time with an adorable little game jam game recommeded by our friend Sins. It's Updog!   in this episode: walking dogs, filling the doggy dex, inner and outer loops, a very feather-coded dog, way too many dogs,...

Ghost trick was a commercial failure, or at least not enough of a commercial success to make Capcom happy. But I think they knew what they had - that's why they ported it eight times - including two separate Android ports. A large part has got to be that it's a lot weirder and harder to explain than it's more straightforward Pheonix Wright cousin, with strange spatial puzzle elements. Personally,...

You wake up in a stack of hay. The innkeeper lets you have some leftovers for breakfast after you wash yourself in the river. In the neighbouring village there's strong men who are willing to help you remove the fallen tree, and another town has bandit problems. A third town has undead problems. There's 10 days left of summer. What do you do? In this episode: Feather is once again alone in her opi...

Helldivers! We (Will and Feather, at least) are not immune to propaganda, and so we're taking a break from our break from our regularly scheduled content to chat about a game that is both stupider and smarter than it first appears. BAH   BAH      BAH         BAAAHHHHHHH In this episode: other games, don't read the forums, the Joel, helldivers lore is great, I hope you like fire tornadoes dumbass,...

Your travels take you to a crossing. To the east, a narrow path cuts through tangled brush and snarling thorns. The road north is clear, but you heard rumor horrific goblins wait in ambush. The west is open plains - clear, but in the distance you can make out the most horrific animal of all: packs of terrifying beasts known as "horses". Better chance the goblins and the thorns. In this episode: ho...

"Walking Sim" as a genre is a bit of a perjorative, but really - that's what we have here. You walk places, and things happen! That's the game. But even in that, there's a ton to talk about. Why is this game about being alone, so full of chatter? Can you find yourself in those dark woods? And perhaps most importantly, why is this walking sim so bad at walking? In this episode: f lapjack , game of...

Pow! Bang! Bop! This week we're FIGHTING! Or, well, we're talking about the potential of fighting, but really we're mostly commiserating about the state of Guilty Gear's story mode. Fighting games are hard and have a high barrier for entry, which is why we basically dance around the idea of it for an hour before throwing in the towel. If any sickos really wanna talk to Feather about fighting games...

Podcast goes round and round. Why? It does not matter. Numbers go up. Hero goes around. In this cold black space, you can only smell the acidity of Salt. Can you remember samsara? In this episode: bad hooks, how do we explain this, "fortnite" style colors!??, what are we doing here, cheese strats, idle game comparisons, come before Feather for judgement, this chair gives me health, breakdowns, eve...

The city might not be very big, but wow did they really kitty this kitty!   In this episode: a short hike-alike, feather's list of bugs and grievances, ducklings, the absolute conksuckiest map of all time (positive), genuinely how does this game have such a bad photo mode, TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS, is this a kids game, is being a kids game a cope, wayfinding via lizard, spelling maieaou, a very special...

Hello Daniel Mullins. I know you are reading this. You have fallen into my trap, the trap of episode descriptions. Here, you will.. uh... one second. I'm getting from my producer that I've done a fourth-wall-break ep description before? And it's, quote, "not nearly as fun the third time". Hmm. I'm sure that's not relevant to my favorite fantastically balanced horror roguelike deckbuilder set in a...

We're playing Inscryption this week, and before we get into it, Big Thanks to everyone who never spoiled this game for anyone playing. If you haven't played Inscryption before, what are you doing here? Go play and come back, seriously, we're spoiling stuff that you're better off not knowing when you go into the game!   in this episode: not the whole onion, roguelike deckbuilders, creating cards, b...

We finally return to Spiritfarer to send off every last animal on this boat, whether we want to or not. WARNING: Full Spoilers Ahead! In this episode: Will disappears - will you notice it?, I cant believe Atul would do this, is a basilisk just a lizard, The Character Door, perfectly timed Wilhelm Scream, the only thing that makes Karp sad, Feather rants/gushes about Eve Online ~~~ Our theme music...

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Taco De Mayo 4ever after! If you missed it, we took a second run down King of the Castle, a very excellent stream / party / role-playing(?) game where one person (Feather) got to rule a kingdom with an iron throne while a bunch of wretched losers (Karp, Gary, Will, and friends) all tried to harsh her vibes and ruin her chance at wonderful tyranny. Anyway, it...

[click] Mr Coo gestures towards a strange play button [click] Mr Coo pushes the button; chaos ensues   in this episode: hoping for more pieces, point and click, freddi fish and pajama sam, leaning into weirdness, driving mr coo, menus, bugs, a wiggly boy, distinct personalities of pieces, hints, goblin guy is cool, distilling it down, the plunger bike seat, cw alcohol: the wine pairing, mr coo: th...

TERMINAL IC39 - RESTRICTED ACCESS [SECURITY LEVEL 1] >>QUERY(COGMIND) Hot dang, Feather's writing the episode description and that means she gets to talk about how great this game is. So great, she procrastinated editing this episode to  play more cogmind . Nevermind she procrastinated editing the last episode to play cogmind.  What other game makes sensors so fun? How is rolling up on some dudes...

Spiritfarer is an adorable little game, that on first inspection, looks like a fun, cozy little friend-em-up like Stardew Valley and friends. This is a lie. Spiritfarer is actually a coldly calculated trap, designed to lure you into making friends with friendly, interesting, deep characters explicitly so it can take them away from you, and then remind you what you've lost. The hug button isn't a c...
