I'm recording *two* more episodes this week!
One covering two games - both interactive novels involving a fall...
The other featuring a very well known game involving a golden wedding proposal...
Any guesses on what they may be?

"The Dagger of Amon Ra"... I played that for the first time about 30 years ago. It was interesting to cross daggers with someone who has only recently played it for the first time 😉

I may or may not be gushing about this, my favourite game of all time, with @askusaboutloom.bsky.social in January... 👀

Finished (got 2 out of 4 endings) of @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social's "D3AD HAND" and it's DLC "R3D STAR".
I've not known a DLC be about six times larger than the original game, but with D3ad Hand you play as Yuri, a solider in the Russian army who is stationed in a bunker to monitor nuclear weapons.
