That is the real important question.
This week Keith chose for us Undertale by; Toby Fox. Undertale is and old school turn base RPG with a twist.

Keith wanted to change things up and not play a platformer so he pick Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville by; Pop Cap studios.

This week we got a listener request for Planet Coast by: Frontier Studios. Play the role of a theme park architect as you try to appease the whiney masses.

Unfortunately you find your client dead, so you have to figure out who did it.The case isn't simple though as there are strange happenings going on in this little town of Kona.
