Hunter Donaldson, stand up comedian and host of Old Gamer's Almanac, is here today to reinforce his only interested, Twilight Imperium. Thankfully he also had time to make a game based on the prompts:

• musical
• claustrophobia
• takes place on a single screen

Horror was not explicitly on this list but you better believe we made a horror game anyway. And the worst kind: one you inflict on your friends! This game, I know why the caged bird sing (and it’s scary!), turns karaoke into a shotgun blast of audio memes.

• Wontonly colorful,
• Art restoration,
• Social deduction (like Werewolf)

With two options synergizing so much, it isn't hard to find an art angle... but how to include the social deduction aspect? Should this be a physical game or a Jackbox property? And how do we even pitch Jackbox anyway???

Isabel J. Kim, attorney, author, podcaster, and sword girl, makes the game "Oil Zone," based on the prompts:

• Neon,
• hydraulic,
• a game that doesn't use a regular controller

The Mad Max of it all is that you hunt feral AI cars - and other players - at night in order to customize and upgrade your whip. But I hope you have strong arms because you've only got a valve wheel and a hand pump to do it with! STRAP IN FOR A BUMPY RIDE.

First-time returning guest Geoff Moonen rejoins the show to make "My Magical World Never Went Away," based on the prompts:

• hyper realistic
• Magical Girls
• fist-fighting

Geoff and Jenna run with a fairly generous understanding of the phrase "hyper realistic," as applying to the magical girl portion and NOT the physics or fist-fighting. Their game undercuts modern dark-retellings of Magical Girl stories and opts for a more relatable story about recovering from burnout and realizing that your past mistakes don't need to define your magical future. Your magical world never went away.... it's right here!

Tristan Cooper, social media manager for The Verge and Can I Pet The Dog, makes "Stable 4: They Like It!" based on the words: 

• Anachronistic
• haberdasher
• Racing Game

The resulting game leans into the indie game trope of making lots of cute hats for cute animals, using the materials you can scrounge from your trophy wins. And most importantly, the horses love it!

• incredibly haunted,
• Mail-puss,
• Played secretly at a party or event

The resulting folk game(s) can be played at any convention, party, or Olympics you're attending! If you're alone, play the name-based Mail-puss. If you have 8 people, then lean into the incredible haunted rumor-mongering version. Fun for all ages and number of players!

Lin Codega, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, joins the pod to make "Spiral Apotheosis," based on the prompts: 

• Addictive,
• Last god in the pantheon,
• Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

Lin, using their expansive knowledge of what makes a TTRPG both award-winning and "Eurogame," lays out the groundwork for a game in which the rules are constantly changing, and both player and Last God are encouraged to be antagonistic with each other. It's just what DnD is doing, writ large!

• Nobody can discover your recent lottery win,
• Deckbuilder

The resulting brain-reaping game pits your social skills against the people in your small town as you try to keep your terrible secret.

• Ten-minute,
• marching band simulator,
• dating sim

• extremely literal
• composting
• weeklong LARP

Together they make an education workshop with structured workshops on composting and a farmer-romancing meta game. But it is NOT a cult. For legal reasons, I must again clarify: it is NOT a cult. Also, whoever keeps track of Bridgerton and Evermore Theme Park mentions on this show, get ready to update, thaaaanks.

Phil Salvador, the Library Director of the Video Game History Foundation and returning guest, is ready to apply his archiving expertise to the prompts:

• taste-o-vision
• fourth-wall breaking
• QTE

His grounded approach to game preservation keeps Jenna from making a vape game, which is truly for the best. And weirdly, his additional expertise in Frasier finds its own part to play in "Frasier: Dinner Roles." But for the record Jenna still thinks gamer Lik n Dip is a million dollar idea.

Mischa Stanton, audio editor extraodinare and beloved Multitude podcaster, gets a very tricky gameplay-type (left by Jacob Geller), but manages to combine it flawlessly with the two other options:

• lazy,
• sims rival,
• kick-punch

They envision a remarkable god-sim game where, aided by many hand-and-footed angels, the player must build up its civilization using the only tools available to God: kick and, yes, punching. But what more do you even need to guide or defend a village? All you need is kick across and punch down!

The result is a cute but surprisingly hard-hitting trolley game where you try your best to communicate with the (literal, metaphorical) wooden train conductor who is determined to mow down people tied to the tracks. Only you can stop her! Holley, no! Those people aren't just blocks of wood!

Janet Varney, host of The JV Club and Braving the Elements, has some firm thoughts about argula that she wants to share, provoked by the prompts:

• wacky,
• fast-food tie-in,
• touch-based rhythm game

After some discussion about drumming and fast food griddle work, she and Jenna settle on a game about composing both the perfect sandwich, and the perfect song. Neither is as easy as it seems, but it will at least be fun in this music-looping, food-sampling rhythm game!

Marlowe Dobbe, artist and art director for MegaCrit and lots of other games, knows how to brainstorm like a professional, and you'll see it in action with the prompts:

• indie rock
• TOUCANS!
• Cat tower city builder

They quickly cycle through about a dozen perfect ideas before settling on a cat-tower-builder with musical elements: "Harmony Cafe Sim: Cats vs Toucans." Keep the Toucans and Cats separate while building the biggest and best cat tree this broken down mall has ever seen!

• claustraphobic, 
• based on a 2007 reality tv show,
• family sim

After flirting with a pretty banger idea for a Harry Houdini reincarnation reality TV show, they settle on a cubicle-based work-related multiplayer game where you fight through a series of puzzle rooms, like beloved 1997 cult horror hit Cube!

Jacob Geller, a writer who happens to be known for his video essays, joins Jenna to craft up a game based on the prompts:

• sloppy,
• Ides of March,
• fortunetelling

The resulting game is, as you might expect given the sources, a really thought-provoking interrogation of game structures and player-interaction, while also being a hilarious game where you try to make people stab their boss. So what if their boss is Julius Caesar? This game as it all: Pathos! Intrigue! Intestines!

Voice actor and game dev Jacob Burgess joins the pod to crack the exceptionally difficult line up of:

• musical,
• game within a game,
• twin stick shooter

This off-off-off Broadway production company has suffered from more internal drama than is in the script for Les Rizz! And to make matters worse, a swarm of rats has descended on the premises. But as it turns out, a mass of agile, invested rodents might be just the thing this community theater needs to pull off the big show.

Jacob Andrews, one of the talented artists of Drawfee, find the route through the prompts:

• obtuse
• parasite
• FPS

with the help of Jenna Stoeber, a fellow soup and Dark Souls lover. Inspired by the Loathsome Dung Eater and some relatable soup catastrophes, Dark Soups sees the brew-bearer attempt to defeat monstrous gorge-vessels. But will you free them of their gorgers, or deepen their injestion infestation?

See Jacob's work on Drawfee here, catch a livestream of Secret Sleepover Society, or watch SSS VOD here.

Giovanni Colantonio, journalist at Digital Trends, is the first participant in the Grant Howitt Dagger Dartboard, where a flip of the coin determines if a prompt is replaced by a newer, weirder prompt from a separate list. They ended up with:

• wholesome
• all grapple hooks all the time
• cooking

While making several accidental grapple-based puns, Giovanni and Jenna craft a foraging and cooking game with madcap traversal mechanics, naturally in VR and requiring an intricate and expensive grapple-hook-based peripheral.

Grant Howitt, indie TTRPG creator of games like Honey Heist, joins the show and makes a surreal, pro-drug game using the prompts:

• ocean exploration
• last day at camp
• Lucas-Arts point-n-click.

You wake up in a derelict oil rig and have to choose your intoxicant of choice. Where will you fall on the zooted scale, and how will that change your conversation options? And more importantly, how much FUN will you have on the way?

Kelsey Lewin, writer, podcaster, and co-owner of Pink Gorilla Games, joins the show to finally make a game that your aunt is going to love! She and Jenna turn the prompts:

• aunt games
• frogs
• myst-like

into a game about kissing frogs to turn them into other animals, and then using those animals to solve PUZZLES. Kyst indulges all the things we liked about Myst: cool photo graphics, loneliness, and puzzles that we were too young to figure out.

Allegra Frank, renowned journalist, critic, and oreo connoisseur, joins Jenna to craft an adorable, hard-hitting game with the prompts:

• squishy
• werewolves
• visual novel

Eschewing the normal player-romance offerings of visual novels, they craft a game where you matchmake NPCs and solve a dark mystery of your own past, come back to haunt you. Also there are some non-branded Squishmallow integrations that give the game a bit of a texture. A squish texture.

Turns out, love was the greatest mystery of all.

Screenwriter, bookwriter, and criticwriter Karen Han has brought her Marvel's-Midnight-Sun and Pokemon-Cafe-Remix related complaints to the prompts: 

• musical
• cafe sim
• character creator

They brew a heady mix of adorable Pokemon bakers and super crunchy sim aspects like book-balancing and inventory sim. Every year, the Alcremie Awards pass out stars to the best cafes in the world - and you've set your sight on getting one! Require Pokemon employees, and serve up the best light cafe salads to discerning gym leaders to win them over in Pokemon Cafe Life! They did nothing at all with "musical" so it has been added back to the prompt list, don't worry.

Brent Naylor lucked out with some primo prompts:

• parasite
• DnD
• mystery

Then he immediately destroyed the format of this show by perfectly nailing a pitch for a hidden role game where you have to identify the social parasite in a DnD group! Thankfully these fools are pros at bullshitting, and they develop a game where you train yourself to detect AI but figuring out who on a video call isn't a real human.

Illustrator Faith Schaffer brings her Lifetime movie expertise to Big Game Hunger, a Jenny Nicholson fancast! With the prompts:

• voyeurism
• holiday
• dungeon crawler

...she and Jenna make a Lifetime/Hallmark-inspired Christmas game about a big-city video game creator who discovers the true meaning of Christmas Romance back in her hometown, with either the local super-bachelor or her cousin. Play choices don't matter in this cult classic hit, but you'll love its earnest, FMV styling and point-and-click elements anyway. How else will you get your Christmas fix in July??

Alex Jaffe, co-host of Insert Credit and 52 Pickup, starts off strong with some word-play options based on the prompts:

• green
• shark
• godzilla-sim (rampage)

After some great goofs on what "green" could imply, they settle on an anti-golf, pro-green-space game where you play as a shark terrorizing innocent putters. Swim through intricate mini-golf courses to herd golfers into clumps so you can eat as many at once as you can, and be sure to hit a cool flip in the air for bonus points! Play as different species of shark, each with a special power, and customize your fin with unique hat options
