Welcome to IndieQuest, a celebration of the indie and obscure! Okay, okay, okay, the title might be a little click-baity, but we DO start the show talking about our favorite indie games of the year so far, and what we're looking forward to for the rest of the year. Also one of the hosts has a hot take. After these shenanigans we each bring games to the quest log. One that will bug you, one that you will die for, and one that won't get under your skin. As always, thanks for checking out the show!...
