Listen "244: Paratopic"
Episode Synopsis
Paratopic is a cursed Playstation 1 game. Or perhaps it’s an experiment in first person storytelling. Or perhaps it’s just creepy AF. This award winning game from 2018 just came to Nintendo Switch, and it’ll take you under an hour to play.
Paratopic is available on PC (Steam and Itch.io) and on Nintendo Switch for $5.49. Expect it to take about 45 minutes to complete.
