If you are going to play Spiritfarer based on my review, bring a notebook.
Phil Fogg carries the podcast on his week aging back, while our foreign correspondent, Tom Towers is “on assignment”. I break down the industry changing news of the week and get around to sharing my impressions of two very good games that I have not been able to get to on recent show, CtrlMovie’s Late Shift and Thunder Lotus’s 2020 critical darling, Spiritfarer.

In this episode Tom and Phil talk about the state of Valve, Indy Jones and the Great Circle, the news and a hotly anticipated review of Doki Doki Literature Club as well as a conversation about Doki Doki Literature Club.

The entire plot of the latest Indiana Jones games could have been undercut by one of these.
The boys are back in town with Season 12 of the Game Under Podcast. This time we talk about Indiana Jones, Pentiment, Switch 2, Edge Magazine’s Top 10 of 2024 and a whole lot of news.

We introduce the Mindful Minifogg. To counterbalance the Die of Destiny, which has scored all of Toms reviews for a few years now we will now throw a LEGO minifig (or Mini Phil Fogg) and determine the score Tom really wanted to give the game.
For Halloween, this episode we take a deep dive (:lol:) into some spooky games that The Chinese Room (Makers of Dear Ester) had some direct or indirect influence on including Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and SOMA. We also discuss UFO 50 before going into a special feature, How it All Started where we talk about seminal games in major franchises.
