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
