Cousin Game (feat. Detective Instinct, Sektori, and Dragon Quest II)
Added 2025-12-03 08:00:11 +0000 UTCWe're bringing a whole new meaning to the idea of "cousin games."
Discussed: Changing up the intro, the Discord GOTY poll, Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved, the structure of visual novels and adventure games, Sektori, the overlap between roguelikes and the arcade, Spike-Likes, the Vita, Dragon Quest II, silent protagonists who want to talk, the appeal of the Erdrick Trilogy remakes, Brendon’s Persona 4 purgatory
