Marsh and Jamie go completely bang bang fire for '1000xresist', as well as reporting back on the nightmarish joys of 'Pathologic 3: Quarantine', and the wonderful (and free) informational murder mystery game 'Type Help'. crateandcrowbar.com/2025/03/28/e...

Three images illustrating the games discussed in the episode:
a piece of paper with the words 'Type Help' drawn on
For 1000xresist, an anime style close up of a woman's face, she has blue hair and a large x bisecting her features, giving her one red eye and one yellow as well as splashes of red over her features.
For Pathologic 3, a creepy white man with black hair and a grubby biege jacket looks over his shoulder.
