Game-of-the-Month Club – Anodyne – S3, E3

Hello again, friends, and welcome to the March 2019 edition of the Little Rock Games Game-of-the-Month Club! This month, we played dreamy Zelda-esque Anodyne from Anagesic Productions. We took a walk down memory lane to the 16-bit land of our childhoods. Give us a listen at the link below or on your favorite podcast service. And if you played along with us in the month of March, add your comments here or join the discussion over on the LRG Facebook page.

As always, this podcast is FULL OF SPOILERS about the game, so if you haven’t played the game yet, consider giving it run-through before you listen in.

March 2019 GOTM Game: Anodyne

March is Olivia’s month to pick, but there were just too many great games to choose from. So, she asked for help from our Patreon Patrons! Last month, you all selected Anodyne as the next game we would play. Pick up the game if you can and play along in this Zelda-lite exploration of the subconscious.

If you are unable to play it yourself and still want to participate in the discussion, keep an eye out for our Twitch streams of the game throughout the month. Afterwards, join us on Discord to let us know your thoughts. And remember, if you want access to cool outtakes and polls, support us on Patreon!

Anodyne was developed and published by Analgesic Productions and is available on Steam , Itch, the Apple App Store, and the Nintendo Switch .

Game-of-the-Month Club – Pyre – S2, E3

September has come and gone like a quirky caravan of exiles drifting across a brilliantly colored backdrop. For the September episode of our Game of the Month Club podcast, we played Pyre from Supergiant Games. Olivia picked this one-of-a-kind “action role-playing sports video game.” Listen in to find out who loved the fast-paced sports aspect of the game, who couldn’t stop talking about the original story setting and artwork, and who had to get their blood pressure checked from all the pyre-scorching, orb-running action.

As always, THERE ARE TONS OF SPOILERS IN THIS PODCAST! So if you haven’t played Pyre yet, give a try, then come back and give us a listen. And make sure to add your comments below to keep the conversation going!
