Episode Synopsis

Hi all, welcome to episode 87 of The Last Standee Podcast!

This episode we cover a bit of everything, starting from the Standee Catch-up with Cara, Alessio and Alexis.

After catching up, it's time to decrypt cyphers with Alexis, who introduces us to Turing Machine, a very good "multiplayer solo" puzzle game with sort-of-programmable states (do you see the tech imprint in this intro? The game's good if you are into puzzles, don't worry). Next, there's a true solo game, with recent Unreliable Wizard reprint by Salt and Pepper games (give me a subscription to Kamibayashi games!) and its fake 16-bit pixel goodness - yeah, no way those sprites that big would fit 8-bit engines. Finally, it's time for a very special episode of Cara's Reviews, with Artisans of Splendent Vale, a daring attempt at mixing compartmented campaign story with unique characters' viewpoints and clever asymmetric resource management.

Is this enough to kindle your curiosity?
