Sequel Police: We Gave 15 Classic Adventures a Sequel

Episode 197

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 01:30:06

This week Anna & Paul are the sequel police because they're talking about sequels and frankly, how, what else would we call it, this is an adventure game podcast. Okay, so we've established that policing or otherwise work regarding crime solving will not be involved in the episode, what else? Oh so, we basically go through the games that had planned sequels and briefly discuss what they could have looked like but mostly, we mostly pitch each other sequels we want and what they might have been about. Or bean about if you're Anna. And you might be! She actually, she reads these for some reason. Okay go listen this one was super fun, Mangia!
