ANIMALS!
2026/10/13
Watch this episode. Before we go on a little break (only until next month, don't worry) we thought we'd have a chat about games where you are an animal. And who doesn't love animals? No, not anthromdkdfs, anthrofkenm, anthropomorphic characters! Several yellow cards are hinted at in this thinly-veiled attempt at a pod just to give kudos to Stray, Untitled Goose Game, and many other "animal simulators". The podcast is now WEEKLY!
