Up And Down And All Around

On this episode, we're back to our normal format of the show after a string of "special" episodes. I can't think of a better game to kick off 2021 of the show than this gem of a game which is one of the greatest and biggest indie darlings of the past generation. My lovely guest host StarrySan and I go in-depth on why the 2018's Matt Makes Games masterpiece holds a special place in our hearts three years since it's release. Is it worth climbing up Celeste mountain once again or should we just stop after our first climb? Find on this in-depth, loose, and (somewhat) spoiler-filled conversation.
