    [mini Club] 80 Days, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Tux and Fanny, F-Zero GX, DELTARUNE

    It's time to decide our next Game Club! Shall we race against the clock in a voyage around the globe in 80 Days, or against thirty gaudy characters designed by SEGA for Nintendo in 2003's F-Zero GX? It's safe to say our Shadows will Die a lot more than Twice in FromSoftware's Sekiro, but maybe we want to LIVE twice with Tux and Fanny! And then there's the oxymoronically ubiquitous cult classic DELTARUNE: will Alon be able to get the game's window to display properly?
