Episode description

We FINALLY get to talk about one of our favorite games of all time! A Short Hike is amazing, enough that we would recommend it to just about anyone. Still not convinced? Take a listen as we discuss the game design, struggle to come up with 'Quick Jabs,' and maybe even get a bit emotional about it. Oh! And as a special bonus, stick around for our 'Rabbit Holes' segment to hear a psuedo-Japanese-EDM track Marcus composed!
