Bonus Part 1: Introduction

Discussion: [Indie Game] (spoilers!)

Welcome to Discussion: [Indie Game] (spoilers!)


In their very first episode, Rik and Jo confound their own format by not discussing a specific indie game with spoilers. Instead, the podcast’s opaque title is broken down: what do we mean by ‘spoilers’ these days? What is an ‘indie game’? And how do you have a ‘discussion?’

While our hosts’ shared gaming past involved not being very good at Sierra games in the 90s, they rediscovered their love for adventures via the indie scene in the 00s and beyond.


Unfortunately, despite the shorter length and more forgiving nature of modern indie adventures, this renewed enthusiasm seems mainly to have manifested itself in sizable digital backlogs for each of them. It’s time to tackle that pile of shame, as well as revisit some past favourites, and then discuss (with spoilers).


No spoilers in this episode, though, but we do mention that there’s a shark in Jaws. (If you haven’t seen it, sorry!)
