    Episode 18 | Why Old Games Were So Mean and Why That Made Them Better

    Sierra adventure games did not simply kill you. That would be too merciful. Nope, Sierra preferred a more artisanal form of psychological damage: the unwinnable state. That beautiful little nightmare where you are still walking around, still clicking on things, still listening to cheerful MIDI music… but your save file actually died three hours ago.

    Episode 17 | Two Ways to Speak to the Dead | Twincantation with Little Nihilista Games

    In this episode of The Point-and-Quest Podcast, Lindsay sits down with Danny and Jeremy of Little Nihilista Studios, the two-person team behind Twincantation, a short handmade visual novel about a teenager sneaking out to perform a séance for her deceased twin sister. What begins as a compact ghost story opens into something stranger and more tender: a game about grief, uncertainty, roadside-attraction weirdness, cozy horror, dark humor, and the two very different ways we try to speak to the dead. Lindsay talks with the developers about moving from filmmaking into games, designing Twincantation’s cozy and horror paths, building a handmade visual style with watercolor, ink, and digital painting, using silence and sound design to create atmosphere, and making a small first game that still feels emotionally full.

    Episode 16 | Native Noir | Hill Agency: PURITYdecay

    In the neon haze of a stratified future city, an Indigenous detective named Meeygen Hill walks into a case that refuses to stay buried...  In this episode of The Point-and-Quest Podcast, I talk about Hill Agency: PURITY/Decay, an Indigenous futurist noir by Achimostawinan Games -- a studio reshaping what video games can say, and who they’re for. We’ll explore: Indigenous Futurism and why these worlds matterThe Auntie Robo-Dog tutorial (a perfect piece of Native noir humor)Merrium’s death and the echoes of MMIWG2SThe stratified class structure of AkâmaskiyPuzzles and plotholesWhat the game does beautifullyWhat I wish it had done differentlyAnd why Meeygen Hill is one of the coolest detectives in modern gaming and why I want to see more of her!This is kind of sort of a love letter with notes in the margins, a discussion that is part grief, part celebration, and entirely grounded in the messy, neon, hopeful future that Indigenous game developers are building. __________________________________________________________________________________ Developer | Achimostawinan Games Publisher | Achimostawinan Games Director | Meagan Byrne Designer | Meagan Byrne Artist | Sa'dekaronhes Esquivel Writer | Meagan Byrne Composers | Colin R.

    Episode 14 | The Supper: A Bite-sized Adventure Game

    What do you get when you mix revenge, roast meat, and a silent innkeeper with a cleaver? A short horror game that lingers longer than most blockbusters. In this episode of The Point-and-Quest Podcast, we carve into Octavi Navarro’s haunting indie tale, The Supper.  Join me as I explore the game’s darkly intimate storytelling, its symbolism-laced ingredients, and why Ms. Appleton’s final course hits harder than you’d expect. So grab a fork. And maybe… don’t ask what’s on the menu.  Send us a message!
