This week, Jared and I are on a boat with a cat captain and dealing with some pretty heavy themes. We chat about last year’s Spiritfarer, a management game where you are tasked with ferrying spirits to the afterlife. We discuss all of the characters and the overall story as we piece together Stella’s adventure.

First, we played through DKC3, and we chat about how it differs from the other two and how it was the beginning of the collectathons. After that, we talk about Jared’s 2020 Game of the Year, Kentucky Route Zero, which I decided to play after hearing him sing its praises. We talk about magical realism, the overall story, what shocked us, anti-capitalism messages, and the way the gameplay and visuals shifted over the years.

Despite the oddness, I’m here to deliver my supplementary awards and my game of the year awards for 2020, and this time we’re back to seven. Here is the link to the SAC OVA podcast where Jared and I break all of this down too, and be sure to check his list out here. Without further ado, let’s do this thing. There will be spoilers behind the cut!

We chat about the crazy story that definitely goes places, Ichiban’s character and his role as the protagonist, whether the switch in combat style works, and how to grab your shoulder and suddenly remove all of the clothing from your torso.
Leave a CommentThis week, we’re going back to the world of otome! We’re chatting about Café Enchanté, an otome where you run a coffee shop for a coffee loving demon king, a fallen angel who loves otome, a very hungry fire wolf, and a headless knight who likes to garden. Oh, and a regular 42 year old dude. We talk about the routes, nut, who I liked the best, and why I felt like the game ended on a really bad note.
