Episode 444: Sneers for Tears

The Crate and Crowbar

The distant troglodyte descendants of Jamie and Marsh relive memories of the before-times and the joyous videogames that were once played, namely: 1000xResist, Type Help and Pathologic 3: Quarantine.

• Pathologic 3: Quarantine is the demo for a larger forthcoming game, and is harrowing in about every way it can be.
• 1000xResist is a brilliant game about many things, including generational trauma and big pigeons. Contains mild jumping.
• This is a good video deep dive into the game.
• Type Help is an information game with a killer discovery mechanic and a wicked mystery. Bloody devil!
• Tom Francis, who has the best sheets, and now an IGF Award for Excellence in Design, did a video review of Type Help, here.
