Somehow I’ve gotten Jared into the ridiculousness that is Code: Realize, and we’ve talked previously about the game and the anime. Last week, US fans were treated to the fan disc, which is essentially a fan service expansion of the original story. In this episode, we discuss that fan disc, Code: Realize ~Future Blessings~, in its entirety. We talk about which of the OG guys has the best route, how much I hate Van Helsing, the addition of a datable Herlock Sholmés, a mafia route, and a Finis route which is surprisingly not disgusting. (Looking at you Period Cube) There is also a fun series of stories featuring everybody’s favorite adorable Drac-chan. Needless to say, I was stoked about this expansion, and the more Code: Realize I get, the happier I am.

Spoilers throughout! Listen here!

This week, Jared and I dig into the grab bag to talk about four games. I talk about the newest Layton game, Layton’s Mystery Journey. While I love the series, this game had some serious flaws. I also give initial thoughts on my playthrough of my most recent otome game, Bad Apple Wars. Jared talked about Pyre, a fantasy sports game developed Supergiant. He also discusses a magical girl RPG called Blue Reflection and how the game itself isn’t awesome but it shows what can be done with the genre.

Give it a listen!

Jared asked me this week to talk again about my favorite otome game, and who am I to say no to that!? Since there is an upcoming Code: Realize anime in October, Jared wanted a crash course in this insanely bonkers story. Given that this is a game set in steampunk London with datable historic and literary guys, I was already sold from the get-go. I tell you who is best boy, give you hot takes on the special sexy CGs, and Jared is amazed at the life of a wealthy landowner.

Give it a listen!

This week, we decided to do a grab bag episode! I give you some intense comprehensive info on the otome game called Period Cube: Shackles of Amadeus, Jared talks about Puyo Puyo Tetris, and we tell you the best and only way to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
