This week's episode is an interview with Remy Siu, the creative director of the recently released 1000xRESIST. It's a phenomenally good game that pushes video game storytelling forward in several interesting ways. Our discussion touched on games-as-art, diasporic narratives, working through Covid, the origins of "hekki", hooking up with Fellow Traveller, the incredible player and critical response, and lots more. Thanks to Remy for coming on, and enjoy the show!

Little City, Big City is a short, low-stakes adventure in which side-quests, baubles, and opportunities for mischief catch your eye at every turn. It's a welcome bout of easy-breezy escapism in a stacked month of more involved games.

In the roundup: Animal Well, Mullet Madjack, Dread Delusion, Turbo Kid, Dungeons of Hinterberg.

1000xRESIST is ostensibly a sci-fi tale about a far future society, formed after a disastrous epidemic decimates humanity. But it's a game that never stops growing, weaving a complex tapestry of memorable characters, far-reaching subject matter, poetic dialogue, and unforgettable moments both intimate and shocking. It's a dizzyingly intelligent masterpiece that I'll be thinking about for years to come.

In the roundup: the class of May 9th - Animal Well, Little Kitty Big City, Crow Country, and Cryptmaster.
