Zach introduces us to a unique title this time. A time-loop based, existential mystery game developed by a team of only six or so designers based on a Skyrim mod. Gameplay mostly involves deciphering the larger mystery by altering your choices each loop. While time-loop games are in this year, the group discusses the uniqueness of this title, it’s ethical dilemmas, and the value of fables in gaming. So make sure you listen, then once you finish the episode, go ahead and listen to it again. You’ll get new information each time, I swear.
