Episode 40 - Quantum Witch Review, ‘Press Gay to Play’ Showcase

This week it’s just me, Zoey, as I cover three main segments!

I start with the headlines, as usual, and it’s thankfully a lighter week (even if not all the news is good). Deltarune got a big patch, Drag x Drive and Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant DLC finally got release dates, Microsoft is doing yet another round of layoffs (a month after doing a major round of them), and Netflix is delisting several games (one or more might be queer!).

I also cover the ‘Press Gay to Play’ Showcase. This was an hour-long showcase focused entirely on queer games, which is perfect for this podcast! But there were so many games highlighted, that I had to narrow down a small list to cover on the show.

Finally, I was given the wonderful opportunity to review the recent indie darling, Quantum Witch! I’ve highlighted this game on the show several times, and even interviewed the developer, Nikki Jay — so I was beyond honoured when I received the first ever review code for True Avatars.

Spoiler alert for my thoughts: the game is amazing!!
