A monster-slaying hero is a noble profession, while a merchant with a keen sense for market trends could become richer than anyone else.

We talk about a lot of games with grand adventures, tough challenges, and life-changing narratives.

A blob, a sinister face, a squirrel you can't catch, and four flames. What does it all mean? In this dark labyrinth, we find the uncanny lurking around every corner, and there's seemingly no way out.

Bust out the pen and paper and dust off that old monitor, because it's time to dig through hundreds of archival video clips! In seven police interviews, each more eyebrow-raising than the last, a woman weaves an unforgettable yarn through storytelling, subtlety, and even song.

It's a lovely morning in the village and we are playing as an amazing character. By hiding, honking, and harassing, we terrorize a quaint English village through one of indie gaming's most ruthless villains: a goose. That's right, just a goose, as normal and untitled as they come. This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!

What newfound responsibility we have for ourselves: as gods, we oversee a messiah, and what better messiah to accompany than a cat-person? A lot rests on their little shoulders, and we only get one shot. Will they carry a lightbulb to the center of a dilapidated world, or will it all shatter?

Gomez, one of indie gaming's classic little guys, is in for a shock as a new dimension reveals itself at the top of Villageville. The hunt for scattered cubes is on, and many innovative rotational puzzles are waiting as a 2D world becomes something entirely new.

We've found the formula... for friendship and indie games! We become proud polyglots in a place inspired by the Tower of Babel, and along the way, we meet several cultures with very different lifestyles.

What will billionaire Indra Chaudhari find there? What is Hammond Corp up to? How many times can we say "Amashilama" without getting tongue-twisted?

Greetings from Maine—er, Greater Marrow!

With all the world's flora gone, we enter a simulation where art and forgotten research intersect, looking for one last hope. 2D images become 3D environments, an inquisitive AI cat keeps us company, and we wonder what we might look like if we were to take a selfie.

What's your favorite pizza? Do you like cheese and that's it? Are you a pineapple person? Have you forsaken olives? In Pizza Tower, we can find all the toppings we want, but we must wall jump and body slam our way through big baddies like Pepperman, the Vigilante, and the Noise, all while controlling Peppino Spaghetti, indie gaming's most anxious protagonist.

Blue, green, red, orange... are these Power Rangers? Assorted candies? Actually, they're knights! Castle Crashers is Season 6's co-op game, which we had the pleasure of playing with two others who are dear to us. It's a throwback to the days of yore, when a middle school sleepover meant energy drink-fueled gaming all night long. Is there more to it than the on-screen chaos, or is it all just nostalgia?

They broke in. They sought revenge. They killed our father. Only a magical talisman can give us the power to right these wrongs, and from the Wuguan, we venture to a handful of hideouts for some knock-down-drag-out Bak Mei kung fu. Hands are hurt, legs are swept, and we are driven to attain Wude and the legendary status of Sifu. This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!

Many new sights can be found on the streets of Surabaya: stray cats in need of naming, a man in a duck costume, and a Quiz Trio in an alley, for example. There's something particularly extraordinary when it comes to student Atma and his girlfriend Raya, and we soon "spacedive" into the minds of their acquaintances in an unforgettable journey of trauma and healing.

One of us is the sneaky agent while the other is the resourceful hacker in a van elsewhere, so our success depends on how well we communicate.

From swallowing things with a hole in the previous episode to digging holes in this episode, we proudly announce our surprise seasonal theme of HOLES! Just kidding, but we do have a review of the first game in a legendary indie franchise. Our hero Rusty has a lengthy downward trek, so let's hope we don't run out of steam.

| 047 - Toodee and Topdee, Hypnospace Outlaw, & Donut County (Guest: Jack Rodenburg) | 23 janv. 2024 | 01:49:01 | |
Donut County is an idyllic place for fans of the outdoors. It's also a love letter to Los Angeles with many animal residents, but where have they all gone? As we grow our holes and complete our Trashopedias, we realize there's perhaps something... deeper... going on. An obliviously evil raccoon must answer for his actions, but priorities come first: he's earned enough points for a quadcopter drone.

| 046 - Jøtun: Valhalla Edition, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, & Titan Souls | 17 janv. 2024 | 01:37:42 | |
Armed with just one arrow in his quiver, a little guy searches for purpose and truth in a world full of dangerous titans. Many questions come to us as we explore some impossibly lonely ruins: How did we get here, what are the connections between this adventure and Death's Door, and how quickly can we shoot an arrow at a yeti's bare buttocks? Some answers are elusive; others may surprise you. This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!

| 045 - Gorogoa, Bonfire Peaks, & The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe | 09 janv. 2024 | 01:45:49 | |
Welcome to Season 5! This is the story of a podcast called Underplayed. Bo_Po and DiscoCola co-hosted this podcast, and their job was simple: they sat in their chairs and pushed buttons on their controllers. Graphics came to them through screens on their desks, telling them what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Bo_Po and DiscoCola did every day of every month of every year. They were happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened; something that would forever change Bo_Po and DiscoCola–something they would never quite forget...

Ready, set, WALLOP! Join us on a tour through the Inkwell Isles as we swap our loadouts, revive each other's ghosts, and fail (a lot). The Netflix-adapted run-and-gun debut from Studio MDHR is Season 4's co-op game, and golly, playing it together is quite a cartoony ride.

| 042 - Ikachan, Falcon Age, & TOEM | 05 sept. 2023 | 01:46:45 | |
What is the phenomenon of TOEM, exactly? Here's a cheeky secret we're only let in on after using our cameras throughout several Scandinavian regions. In this black and white world, we must make our way to the Kiiruberg mountaintop and see for ourselves. It's quite a long journey, but luckily, we've packed plenty of cassettes for our Hikeladies.

| 041 - DARQ: Complete Edition, The Sexy Brutale, & Limbo | 29 août 2023 | 01:45:08 | |
There are but a handful of titles in the pantheon of OG indies. More than a decade old, these games started a subcultural wave that's still going strong to this day. Limbo is one such game, and we have deep histories with it. It's time to explore this eerie sensation once again for our review—in the dark.
