The result is a squirrel trying to steal nuts in a metroidvania set in a zoo, a reporter trying to infiltrate a secret society in the lead up to World War 2, the follow up to Rockstar's Bully finally being released 70 years late, and we design the latest version of the Fit Bit! Ben's GGJ 2011 Entry, Containment:

Disclaimer: The audio in this episode is not up to our usual quality, there are approximately 8 minutes of distorted audio within 4 distinct sections. With any luck this won't occur again.
