Hey all! Welcome to another Indie Impressions episode! This week we have Kate from No Small Games returning to discuss one of her favorite games of all time: Sayonara Wild Hearts. Support Kate by following her on twitch, or by listening to her excellent podcast! I'm a bit embarrassed to say that is has taken me this long to play it, but shortly after I did the free PS5 update came out, so I was spoiled to play both the PS4 version and try the new one. What a stunning game! But there's something that works about this game despite how it treads tried and true tropes and themes on love and heartbreak.Support the show

Welcome, welcome, one and all to episode 125! I'm joined by Emily from the No Small Games podcast! She and Kate (who was on the show to chat about Magical Delicacy), are part of the Indie Game Awards! Be sure to check out that list since it came out earlier this week.We have quite the chat about Phoenix Springs, a game that has gorgeous presentation but frustrating gameplay. We go through all major plot points (but save spoilers for the end) so be warned! Although honestly, I don't think this game can be spoiled easily. It's a tough nut to crack.Please support Emily on her Twitch channel and check out the No Small Games podcast as well too!Jake

Welcome, welcome, one and all, to episode 115 of the Indie Impressions mini-series! Quick thanks to Evolve PR and Lovely Hellplace for the review key. I gotta say, Dread Delusion was a slow start, but once it picked up, it sank its teeth into me. It calls back to classic RPGs. In my mind, I kept comparing it to Morrowind, but to be fair, it very much has its own thing going.Enjoy the podcast?
