  • Just found these gals a couple days ago and I already adore this pod! It has such a welcoming feeling, just warm & cozy vibes. It's almost like finding an old friend you didn't even realize was missing from your life. I've found myself leaning more and more toward indie games over the last couple years and they have excellent discussions about what their newest ones are. Makes me wanna play every one they recommend.

Ep. 39 - Another Crab's Treasure feat. HamonCutta
Q: What is your relationship to indie games?

Q: What would you say are like the essential characteristics that makes a game a Souls-like?
The biggest thing is that you can overcome the difficulty through leveling for one, but more importantly, pattern recognition and learning the mechanics of the game and getting more comfortable with the pacing.
