Talk about horror versions of Pokémon and Animal Crossing reminded me of this thing I did a while back, figuring that AC: New Horizons was ripe for a cosmic horror spin-off…

We will continue to post the public episodes to Acast, they've just discontinued support for private ones. No reason has been given, so we're assuming it's to drive platform lock-in for Patreon, which will be described as "platform innovation". We will all endure.

The Patreon episodes are great too btw. The bit where they guessed games based on a character from that game calling in was top notch (one of many)!

This episode includes possibly the most tedious game feature request imaginable. But we also found out how Alice will kill Nate so there's good lore in there too.
