  • VERY in-depth and chill!!!

    These guys are very cool! They go more in depth over games than any other podcast I’ve listened to. They really go beat by beat. They barely skip over anything which is very rare cause so many

    podcasts are too afraid to be long. If you want a podcast dedicated to story based games then look no further!
