To kick off the new year Brady (FatePrime) joins the show to talk about Somerville, the first game from the indie studio Jumpship. Many on the Jumpship development team come from another indie studio, Playdead, who were famous for making Limbo and Inside, so you might recognize many elements of those famous games here. To start the show Both Kevin and Brady describe what made those early games so special and how they see the DNA of them in Somerville. Then they cover some of the puzzles that either fascinated or frustrated them and some of their favorite story moments in a semi-spoilery fashion. Near the end Brady reveals a theory that helps make sense of all five possible endings and what they mean for the overall story of the game. We wish you a happy new year and hope you enjoy this discussion about just a regular guy trying to survive an alien invasion in Somerville.

PS Plus Game Club - Episode 33: The Forgotten City
Madeline Stanley joins Kevin to talk about The Forgotten City after the Trophy Talk Discord voted for it to be the September game for the episode. They start things off by discussing the game’s unique development history and recommend a few non-spoilery documentary videos on YouTube talking about what makes the game special. Then they get into a spoilercast covering the mystery of the game, the sidequests, and the main story from its beginning all the way through the “fake endings” and real ending. We highly recommend you play this game to truly appreciate this episode, but we hope you love our discussion none-the-less.
