Episode 71: Armchair Diagnosis Final Boss

2026/10/05

The Samsonslop continues in part 2 of file #4 of Anonymous Agony. Lots of excitement this time: Samson learns to use emoticons, has flashback dreams about his dead mom, and gets into a high-stakes situation right at the end of the file that’s actually not that badly done and sort of works if you squint? We do still have a lot of questions about it, though, because (per usual) nothing in this game makes sense. Content warnings: Usual warnings for this game, plus a scene revolving around a suicide and

Anonymous Agony file #4 part 1. Unfortunately, it’s time to return to Dr. Samson’s perspective. Compared to file #2, this part of the story manages to be both more interesting (well, at least potentially) and more infuriating, so we’ve got a lot to cover — besides, we’re still trying to envision how this all might work as an actual adventure game, which is frustrating enough on its own. This section of the game contains multiple Big Reveals that could be cool if done right, but they aren’t, so we’ve

Episode 69: Too Many Jimmies

Part 2 of file #3 of Anonymous Agony! We’ve just been introduced to Haze’s sort-of-girlfriend Yumie (she’s dating him whether he likes it or not) and there’s lots to talk about in regards to her; plus, there’s a new villain, more flashbacks to when Haze was a kid, and a scene where Jake Caro thought it was appropriate to have his characters discuss a real-life mass murder. This “video game” is a disaster, and yet it’s still kind of compelling — there’s plenty in here that we at least want to like

Episode 68: Schrödinger's Tapes

We’re continuing the Anonymous Agony script reading, and it’s finally time to get back to Haze’s side of the story. This is the first half of file #3, and we’re enjoying it a lot more than file #2 since we get to take a break from Samson and check up on what our boy Haze is up to (another character we like gets introduced in this part of the story, too!), but it’d be wrong to imply that the quality of the script has meaningfully improved because this is still a mess.

Episode 67: Samson Hate Club

2026/06/08

The second half of file #2! Picking up from where we left off last time, we’re still stuck following the story of Dr. Samson as he continues treating his patients, acting inappropriate towards his nurse Annie, and generally failing to endear himself to us as a character. On the bright side, the action picks up as we’ve got a kidnapping, a defenestration (not performed by Haze this time!), the return of multiple characters we haven’t seen since file #1, and even an implication that there might be

Now that we’ve finished the playable, released portions of Anonymous Agony, it’s time to dig into the script! This episode covers roughly half of File #2, which follows Dr. Samson, the psychologist assigned to treat Haze’s little sister Clara. Things do not get any more normal from here on out and we’ve got lots to discuss regarding topics like whether this all takes place at Evil Hospital (&/or the Elfen Lied universe), how to maturely navigate workplace disagreements, why nothing about the

Picking up our Anonymous Agony discussion where we left off, this time we’re covering days 2 and 3 (videos 6-11 in our YouTube playthrough). The latter half of the game has some surprisingly decent scenes and ends on a high note, but there’s also some parts that are absolute dogshit, and many other parts that we just weren’t sure what to make of at all. This concludes our coverage of the playable part of Anonymous Agony - next up is the script!Content warnings: Aside from the usual violence, murder,

After having played through Anonymous Agony — the parts of it that are a playable game, anyway — we’ve got a lot to discuss. This episode we’re covering the prologue up to just before the start of day 2 of the game (that’s equivalent to the first 5 videos of our YouTube playthrough), recapping the events and getting into what works, what doesn’t, and what would happen if Sweeney Todd was written by Bloober Team.Content warnings: This is a game in which child abuse, specifically CSA, is central to

Chapters 46-48 of Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami. We’ve done it, we’ve reached the end! Technically the fic was already over, but we’ve got three(!) epilogues to cover, in which the author answers all of our burning questions about the story. Per podcast tradition, we’re taking a look at the reviews this fanfic got in our second segment, and then finally it’s time to announce what we’ll be covering next!Content warnings: The usual for this story.
