Josh and Joe analyze story-driven games, from walking simulators to RPGs to episodic games. Each episode covers a single game and includes discussions on plot, characters, and those gut-wrenching choices you’re often forced to make. Each season of the show covers a handful of shorter games and at least one lengthier game. You’re invited to play along with them, assuming you’ve either played the game or don’t mind having it spoiled.
