Game Under Podcast Ep. 162

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.

Thanks for listening.

Review: The Good Time Garden

I had to write a review of this brilliant game. The Good Time Garden is made by James Carbutt and Will Todd, the men behind Thank Goodness You’re Here that has fascinated the gaming comunity for it’s groundbreaking style and humour. I encourage you to first download and play this short (and free) game before reading my equally compelling review.

Thanks for reading.
