There are two Matts on this show! But only for a second, then one Matt turns back into PushingUpRoses. We talk about a ridiculous YouTuber-inspired creationist movie, Improvised Shakespeare, and trying to manifest a meet-cute. But, settle in folks, because the bulk of this episode is a break-down and basically gush-fest about the new(ish) adventure from Postmodern Games, The Dark Rites of Arkham. And now, we're both huge HP Lovecraft fans. Sorry...Games Discussed: Mina the Hollower Shovel Knight Banjo Kazooey Hollow Knight: Silksong Nightmare Frames An English Haunting The Dark Rites of Arkham Dreams in the Witch House Darkside Detective Call of the Sea Call of the Elder Gods Shadow of the Comet Chronicle of Innsmouth The Terrible Old Man DredgeEmail us! mattandroses@gmail.comJoin our Discord: https://discord.gg/fPv7hRgTeVFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/saveyourgamepodcast

Matt played a “stealth team tactics game” with ghost pirates.BUT the real story here is that PushingUpRoses and Matt replayed a classic game from their youths that features a live-acted Christopher Lloyd in a fully cartoon world.

Richtig gute alte Point-and-Click-Adventures sind derzeit rar. Umso schöner, dass Raw Fury eine Fortsetzung zu Kathy Rain veröffentlicht. Im Oldschool-Pixellook scheint Kathy nun deutlich erwachsener zu sein und löst einen mysteriösen Fall, was mir ausgesprochen gut gefällt. Die Story und die englischen Sprecher vermitteln die spannende Geschichte hervorragend, und die Rätsel sind ansprechend und vielseitig. Hier müssen tatsächlich, ähnlich wie in alten Textadventures, ganze Wörter eingetippt werden. Technisch wären heutzutage andere Maßstäbe gesetzt, aber Kathy Rain 2 braucht sich nicht hinter den großen Namen zu verstecken. Kathy Rain 2 setzt die Stärken des Originals nahtlos fort. Die ausgefeilte Story und die überzeugende englische Sprachausgabe ziehen einen tief in Kathys neuen Fall hinein. Die cleveren Rätsel fordern das Gehirn, ohne unfair zu sein – die Rückkehr zu Texteingaben ist ein charmanter Verweis auf die Wurzeln des Genres. Trotz Retro-Looks erzeugt das Spiel eine dichte, spannende Atmosphäre, die man oft vermisst. Es ist ein Beweis, dass eine fesselnde Geschichte und gutes Gameplay wichtiger sind als hochauflösende Grafiken. Für Liebhaber klassischer Adventures ist Kathy Rain 2 ein klares Highlight, das beweist, dass gute Fortsetzungen das Original sogar übertreffen können. Es ist eine gelungene Rückkehr zu den Wurzeln des Genres, die sowohl Nostalgiker als auch neue Fans begeistern wird.
