Klonoa: Door To Phantomile (1997): What Is A Klonoa?

2023/11/09

Feather might be gone, but that'll never be enough to stop us, so this week we played a game from Karp's childhood, and we talked about everything else! in this episode: 2.5d, he's just a creature, beach vollyball, a seven out of ten game, connecting to the ps1, karp's shrine, crimes, a big deal game, moving two dimensionally in a 3d space, generational differences in gaming, '98 was a good year... for games, oh shit klonoa's here, the only game to make karp cry, give us windwaker on switch, we

Hollow Knight (2017) Part 2: Are You A Monster?

Infinite Cities ·

2023/11/02

Karp didn't write an episode description and so I, Gary, have taken over to deliver you this week's podcast, the conclusion to our Hollow Knight discussion! Karp beat the game, Feather stopped a while ago, Gary wants to keep playing, and Will is (not) dead. We dug a little deeper into the Hallownest this week and we went full spoilers before the end (with a new (temporary) spoiler sound, now that the s-blade is no more). Bugs are good, y'all. in this episode: karp still doesn't like hollowknight,

Hollow Knight (2017) Part 1: Do You Know What A Nail...

2023/10/26

Few games achieve as much as they set out to accomplish as Hollow Knight. It's both a near-perfect execution of its genre, and a unique experience with few competitors. It's also so goddamn frustrating. Maybe some of us just need to git good? In this episode: unity being terrible, being a lil guy, arguing about nails, how deep did you get, being lost, favorite bug, death salt, badges, genres, sometimes you just need to stab a dude. ~shoutouts zone~ Wikipedia: giraffe weevil The 45 Hour Hollow Knight

Wandersong (2018) - What Are You Gonna Do, Sing At It?

Infinite Cities ·

2023/10/19

It's just Karp and Gary this week, so we picked a game from the Itch.io Bundle for Ukraine. It's a lovely little musical platforming adventure called Wandersong! in this episode: dancing, you are not the hero, no doubles, a very grumpy stubborn witch girl, ajoining a band, eleven thousand beans, so much dialogue, mermaids, happy kid, they all have pokemon, dreaming of home, gary hates audrey, the bugs!, every little bit of life is part of the whole, it's scary to be vulnerable, everyone is here, the

2023/10/12

After spending three weeks climbing (or failing to climb) that mountain, the Infinite Cities crew is back with a game that is short and dumb. It's Betrayal At Club Low! Enter self-named protag, a spy sent in to help rescue a fellow undercover agent through the power of pizza dice! Make stew, steal a car, take over a DJ booth, and make your escape! In this episode: pizzaiolo, deadly dice rolls, pizza dice, pickpocketing four slices of buffalo mozzerella, permanent conditions, blasting off while

2023/10/05

After a brief hiatus (sorry! Feather crashed her car and then also had to go see Streetlight Manifesto) we're returning to the mountain to finish our discussion of Celeste! Although only one of us might be actually done with it? This game does a magic trick, in that the difficulty curve is one impossibly long mountain, where the next challenge is always just barely not impossible. It's good! In this episode: finding your own mountain, getting your butt kicked, dying so, so, so many times, Kevin

2023/09/21

On the way up a mountain, it's important to take breaks! In keeping with this message from Celeste itself, we're deviating from our normal format a bit - partly because we're busy, partly because we're still just getting started on our climbs, and mostly because we keep getting distracted by several new and exciting releases (or in feather's case, a jank puzzle game collection from 2004.) So join us (or don't!) as we talk through celeste, along an handful of other games that are more or less good

What happens when a company disintegrates? What happens when that company owns your house and/or body? What kindness can you find from strangers? Most importantly, is today a bones day, or a no bones day? Gary and Feather team up to hold down the station just the two of them, because Will and Karp are off being besties in the far off fantasy land of Sweden. This one gets real big thonk! In this episode: tales from space job, small kindnesses, having an extra dose in your inventory, clocks, finding

Umurangi Generation (2020): How Many Times Did You...

Infinite Cities ·

2023/09/07

Umurangi Generation manages to be a lot of things for its miniscule budget and tight runtime. It's a reflection of early 2020s fear and pressure. It's a photography simulator with PS1 era graphics. It's a bit of a puzzle game. It's a "first person point-and-shooter". It's a perspective of what it is like to slowly die. Like any scene, it really depends on how you frame it. Also, we spend a ton of time outside of the spoiler onion for this one! If you haven't played, we encourage you to give it a

Tunic (2022) Part 2: When Is This Game Turning Scifi?

Infinite Cities ·

2023/08/31

We've finished tunic - at least, by some measure of finished! Gary's gone completely tunic-mad, pinning things to a corkboard and tying them with red yarn, and was rewarded for his efforts. Karp stays winning and breezed through the final fight, Feather was a baby and got hardstuck, and Will was busy being a good friend. Not that you'd be expected to finish - this game goes and goes, and it goes *deep*. Or maybe not deep enough? 0/5 not enough holes. In this episode: being a scared and confused 8

Tunic (2022) Part 1: Have You Gone BWONG Once, Or Twice?

Infinite Cities ·

2023/08/24

We've got another new game this week, and this time, we're giving in to our astonishment and playing Tunic! It's a lovely little slice of zelda exploration with some dark souls mechanics and some pretty difficult combat for the unprepared, but it's the delight of discovery that really carries the game forward for all of our hosts this week. If you don't want things spoiled, we'd suggest you play through at least the ringing of the east and west bells before listening! in this episode: precision

Infinite Cities ·

2023/08/17

Our last game, Slayers X, was faux-retro, with all the edginess and jank of the 90s despite coming out in 2023. This game is real-retro, but is cute, colorful, and in surprisingly good shape for its age! Except for maybe some of the literal (3d) shapes? We must have just had lower standards back then! It's Mode 7! No wait... It's Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! In this episode: MODE 7, the solemn sacred duty of podcasting, being floaty, extra lives, how big is a big level, Super Mario World

Infinite Cities ·

2023/08/10

For this week, we've decided to pick up our first boomer shooter of the podcast, and what a hell of a game this turned out to be. Slayers X is a spin-off/follow-up to 2019's Hypnospace Outlaw, and is a game created by the fictional character of Zane Lofton. It's full of 90s nostalgia, hackblood charges, and just so, so many poop jokes. In this episode: we've got new intro music (thanks cliff!), nu metal, 90s charm, rats, our boomer shooter experiences, zane is a loser, old people are weird, the

2023/08/03

We're finally putting Outer Wilds (mostly) behind us, as four of the the five of us have finished - and all five of us have some really big thoughts. Mostly praise! This was a game truely like no other, and while Feather from the future really wants you to know the game is like an 8.5 / 10 (even if it's a 5/5 hole score) it's still a special gem that we're all glad to have gotten to experience.

Infinite Cities ·

2023/07/20

Outer Wilds is an absolute joy of a game, capturing wonder and exploration and puzzles in a near-perfect little solar system. It's so good, that we're recommending you hold off on this episode (or at least all of the episode after about 20 minutes in) until you've started it. Not finished it, mind you - we haven't finished it either! (Except Gary, who doesn't count.) This episode is just part 1. In fact, the ideal way to consume both Outer Wilds and Infinite Cities might just be to play about 8-10

Hello Listener. This episode talks about the 2014/2016/2022 puzzle adventure RPG game OneShot - but you knew that already. You also know how this episode ends. We've been here before. This is not the first Episode 2. This is just the first Episode 2 you can still change. Do be careful though, because you only have One Shot - and if you close this podcast, Gary dies. (he does not actually die he is fine) In this episode: spoiler zone purpose and philosophy, RPG maker games as a genre, will had a bad

Unpacking (2021): Can I Come To Your House and Judge...

Infinite Cities ·

2023/07/06

We begin with a game about life changes, finding yourself in a new place, and making yourself a home out of a space. We think this is a good fit for our beginning, although Feather still doesn't know where to put all the little towels and Karp is still unpacking even more socks. Content warnings: full unpacking spoilers from 0:16:00. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers in the postpod, from 1:27:00.
