I tried to do things the game didn't want me to do, and then pouted like a child when prevented. The game was so much fun though, and I think this is the episode where we've really hit our stride, so please give it a listen!

Emmi & Annie Talk Indie @eati.games · 19/02/2025

This week's episode of EATI, we played Death of the Reprobate by @joerichardson.bsky.social, a game we enjoyed and heartily recommend even if it also made Annie mad in the end. Listen here or wherever else you listen to podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/2vgg...
