  • Episode 12: Stories Untold - Bring Back Knobs!
    Sep 19 2025

    In this episode, we discuss the twelfth game Epic gave away (from May 16 - May 30, 2019), the narrative adventure game Stories Untold. We discuss the literary elements of games, how we feel about horror as a genre, and moralizing in video games, among other conversations.

  • Episode 11: World of Goo - Be Goo(d) to Mom
    Sep 12 2025

    This episode covers the 2008 puzzle game World of Goo, which Epic gave away from May 2 to May 16, 2019. This game allows us to re-consider the gendered politics of indie games, explore the boundaries between mobile and other games, and think back on the political climate that existed during its release (and unexpected comparisons to Bioshock emerge!)

  • Episode 10: Transistor - Eat the Rich
    Sep 5 2025

    In this episode we discuss Transistor, which Epic gave away from April 18 to May 2, 2019. We focus on defining the boundaries of the RPG genre, discussing how 2014 was an important moment in the history of gaming more broadly, and comparing Transistor to other Supergiant games. Since both of us have also played Transistor years ago, we also consider the role memory and aging have on how we approach games. Trigger warning: due to the nature of the game's themes, we do discuss suicide in this episode.
