Episode 70 - Bye Sweet Carole & Nine Witches: Family Disruption
We journey deeper into SPOOKY MONTH, past the thorny brambles, through the crumbling graveyard, over the alien’s house, into the haunted church where we find our two heroes, Matt Aukamp and PushingUpRoses, cowering in the corner, hiding from the goblins and playing video games. This week, Roses played a harrowing psychological horror game (MORE ON THIS NEXT WEEK), Matt played a cute retro platformer, and then we dive into two spooky games! First, NINE WITCHES: FAMILY DISRUPTION, a spooky/wacky point-and-click about witches and aliens and curses and Nazis. Then, BYE SWEET CAROLE, a masterfully animated mesh of adventure genres, that’s like a playable dark fantasy Disney movie. Games Mentioned: Mouthwashing Crow Country Lust from Beyond Pippistrello and the Cursed Yoyo Nine Witches: Family Disruption Bye Sweet Carole Clock Tower Email us! mattandroses@gmail.com Join our discord: https://discord.gg/fPv7hRgTeV Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/saveyourgamepodcast
