We dove deep into Pseudoregalia, which is certainly unlike any other Metroidvania I’ve played! Thanks for having me on, Dave!

My stream schedule this week will have some good variety 🎮

Tonight, it’s a cozy and chaotic hack n’ slash game called An Eternity Gone By! On Thursday, I’m playing Shotgun Cop Man, a hectic action-platformer where you shoot to jump! And finally, I’m finishing RE4 on Saturday!

I picked up Öoo this week after hearing a review on the @underplayedpod.bsky.social podcast and HOLY SHIT it’s good!

It’s the exact kind of clever, cosy puzzle-platformer I adore.

Highly recommended! And 20% off on Steam right now!

Also… the colours are to die for right?!
