PODCAST

Underplayed

Bo_Po and DiscoCola

On Underplayed, Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds—the games with small budgets but big hearts, the lesser-known experiences with imaginative ideas. A typical episode has two main segments: first, we each reveal and review a game we"ve been playing in secret; then, we have an in-depth discussion on a prestigious title within the indie landscape.

Rare-vivals are rare to come by! We've taken a tonic from Vendi the vending machine that brings us back to the rose-colored late '90s, a time when platforming heroes came in pairs, collection was king, and a 3D genre was born.

What exactly does a bosun do, and why do they need their own mate? What kind of clothing does a topman wear? WHO THE HECK ARE HAT MAN AND TATTOO GUY? These are just some of the questions we asked as we repeatedly paced bow to stern in Lucas Pope's seafaring mystery game. Who knew the life of an insurance investigator could be so interesting?

Good job, Wilmot, you've served your fascist government well! Wait... oops, we just conflated our Secret Games there. One thing we won't be mistaking, however, is the amount of discovery in organizing everyday things in Unpacking, our Featured Game from Witch Beam.

We learn about the Minoans through a comic book aesthetic and escape from a dystopian containment center. After that, we try, try, and try again to uncover the twisted, time-looping mysteries of Twelve Minutes, our Featured Game from Luis Antonio.

Many of our Secret Games are titles we're trying out for the first time for this podcast; this time, however, DiscoCola is revisiting an all-time-fave! Then, we discuss a game that does things with vehicles that probably shouldn't be done with vehicles. At the episode's peak, we're climbing Celeste mountain and doing some breathing exercises to manage our burdens along the way.

2022/03/29

Ten episodes deep, the routine of creating Underplayed has felt like a time loop of sorts: play something for a defined period of time, then analyze what was experienced. How fitting, then, that we chose Mobius Digital's mind-bending Outer Wilds for Season 1's final Featured Game. We discuss the mysteries of space, but not before taking on a few Secret Games that star a Time Messenger and an ape, both of whom just want some sweet, sweet revenge.
