They broke in. They sought revenge. They killed our father. Only a magical talisman can give us the power to right these wrongs, and from the Wuguan, we venture to a handful of hideouts for some knock-down-drag-out Bak Mei kung fu.

Many new sights can be found on the streets of Surabaya: stray cats in need of naming, a man in a duck costume, and a Quiz Trio in an alley, for example. There's something particularly extraordinary when it comes to student Atma and his girlfriend Raya, and we soon "spacedive" into the minds of their acquaintances in an unforgettable journey of trauma and healing.

Donut County is an idyllic place for fans of the outdoors. It's also a love letter to Los Angeles with many animal residents, but where have they all gone? As we grow our holes and complete our Trashopedias, we realize there's perhaps something... deeper... going on.

Many questions come to us as we explore some impossibly lonely ruins: How did we get here, what are the connections between this adventure and Death's Door, and how quickly can we shoot an arrow at a yeti's bare buttocks?

Welcome to Season 5! This is the story of a podcast called Underplayed. Bo_Po and DiscoCola co-hosted this podcast, and their job was simple: they sat in their chairs and pushed buttons on their controllers. Graphics came to them through screens on their desks, telling them what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Bo_Po and DiscoCola did every day of every month of every year. They were happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened; something that would forever change Bo_Po and DiscoCola–something they would never quite forget...

There are but a handful of titles in the pantheon of OG indies. More than a decade old, these games started a subcultural wave that's still going strong to this day.
