Episode Synopsis



Year Walk, by Swedish indie developer Simogo, is a haunting combination of adventure, puzzle and horror game mechanics, and explores the dark and fascinating territory of Swedish folklore. Players take the role of Daniel, a young Swede in the 1800s about to undertake a Year Walk, or Årsgång, an elaborate divination practice wherein you must contend with many strange supernatural creatures for a chance at a glimpse of the infinite.
This game is beautiful, and also super creepy. Expect it to take about two hours to complete.
In the pre-show, we Nate tells us about Destiny, and Shane delivers his extensive report on the best roguelike games for iOS.
