    Forbidden Solitaire

    Turns out if someone hands us a haunted CD-ROM, we are playing it.  This week, Laura once again tricks the whole podcast into playing solitaire, only this time it's *Forbidden*.  OooooOOooooOOO. Forbidden Solitaire was made by Grey Alien Games and Night Signal Entertainment, and should take about 4-7 hours depending on your solitaire prowess.

    BALL x PIT

    In this episode of The Short Game, Nate, Laura, and Shane dive into BALL x PIT, a roguelite block breaker published by Devolver Digital. Recorded a couple of months ago, the episode comes out in time for the release of a free DLC adding new content to the game. The discussion covers the game's unique blend of ball-firing mechanics, character abilities, and city-building elements. Does BALL x PIT respect your time? Maybe, maybe not, but it's a good time either way.

    TR-49

    A voice is saying your name. A WWII-era machine, long hidden in a church basement, whirs to life. Through a crackling speaker, a man asks you to find a stolen book. He only knows the title. Time is running out. Inkle has made a Database Thriller. An Interface Game. Or are we just calling these SamBarlow-likes? And it's a taut 4 hours, and just $7, which is also five bucks. (00:00) - TR-49 (45:34) - Spoiler Break (01:09:37) - Wrap-up
