    March Indiescovery + Introducing The Roottrees are Dead 📰 Geeks & Grounds Podcast

    It's a walk down memory lane this week with Aenne of Stumpt Gamers! Aenne, as a puzzle pro, will be joining as this months' co-host during what will now be our internet sleuthing era: that's right, we're playing another deductive game: The Roottrees are Dead. While I think this game definitely is less layered and symbolic than last month's title, Kentucky Route Zero, I do think there's a lot to reflect on (especially as someone who spends a lot of time online). Celebrity obsession, our fascination on "finding the truth" with gossip, family power and dynamics, and the ways the internet has evolved. We do a lot of reminiscing this week, and I look forward to seeing how things actually pan out when we do our deep dive on the game. --------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Find Aenne on YouTube as Stumpt or PeachyAenne, and as "PeachyAenne" across social media (IG, Bluesky).

    Kentucky Route Zero 🐎 Geeks & Grounds Podcast

    The Zero is calling -- fortunately I've got  @KatieAndCatburger  here for this episode, joining to discuss each of the acts in the layered masterpiece, Kentucky Route Zero, some of our favorite moments, and the meaning we made on this month's particular playthrough.#indiegame #gamediscussion #kentuckyroutezero Find and support Katie's work:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KatieAndCatburger/videos Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/katieandcatburger.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/KatieandCatburger ---------------------------------------------------------------✅Visit Geeks & Grounds' website for our newsletter sign-up, list of games for 2025, Bluesky link, and more: https://www.geeksandgrounds.com ✅Play Kentucky Route Zero on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/231200/Kentucky_Route_Zero_PC_Edition/KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO is a magical realist adventure game in five acts, featuring a haunting electronic score, and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards recorded by The Bedquilt Ramblers. Rendered in a striking visual style that draws as much from theater, film, and experimental electronic art as it does from the history of videogames, this is a story of unpayable debts, abandoned futures, and the human drive to find community.
