Underplayed
On Underplayed, Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds—the games with small budgets but big hearts, the lesser-known experiences with imaginative ideas. A typical episode has two main segments: first, we each reveal and review a game we've been playing in secret; then, we have an in-depth discussion on a prestigious title within the indie landscape.

It's summer, which means it's hot, which means it's time to play a game about exploring a wide open desert! A gliding bike, plenty of masks, and Japanese Breakfast are all we need to look for every chum egg we can find... wait, there are HOW many???

Slay, it's a new season of Underplayed! In the basement of a cabin in the woods is a princess who might be trying to end the world. In our heads are voices telling us what to do. And interrupting it all is a narrator who wants us to do an awful thing. At least we're not alone!

A blob, a sinister face, a squirrel you can't catch, and four flames. What does it all mean? In this dark labyrinth, we find the uncanny lurking around every corner, and there's seemingly no way out. Our only hope might involve finding a few dozen eggs and throwing a disc at everything we see.

Bust out the pen and paper and dust off that old monitor, because it's time to dig through hundreds of archival video clips! In seven police interviews, each more eyebrow-raising than the last, a woman weaves an unforgettable yarn through storytelling, subtlety, and even song. This is Sam Barlow's inaugural FMV experience, and it's as unpredictable as a spontaneous road trip to Glasgow.

It's a lovely morning in the village and we are playing as an amazing character. By hiding, honking, and harassing, we terrorize a quaint English village through one of indie gaming's most ruthless villains: a goose. That's right, just a goose, as normal and untitled as they come.

What newfound responsibility we have for ourselves: as gods, we oversee a messiah, and what better messiah to accompany than a cat-person? A lot rests on their little shoulders, and we only get one shot. Will they carry a lightbulb to the center of a dilapidated world, or will it all shatter?

Gomez, one of indie gaming's classic little guys, is in for a shock as a new dimension reveals itself at the top of Villageville. The hunt for scattered cubes is on, and many innovative rotational puzzles are waiting as a 2D world becomes something entirely new. After more than a decade since release, it's time for us to take FEZ for a "spin."

Subject Zero is in for quite the series of therapy sessions! What starts as a brooding action thriller quickly turns into a disorienting trip of hypnotic hallucinations and tantalizing dialogue trees. We've experienced the story of an amnesiac, and we hope we never forget it.

Welcome to Season 7! What secrets lie hidden within Inscryption? Oh, but wait, are we talking about the card game Inscryption or the video game Inscryption? Perhaps looking closer at the cards can tell us mor- uhhh... is that a talking STOAT? We are so very puzzled in the best possible way.

We've found the formula... for friendship and indie games! We become proud polyglots in a place inspired by the Tower of Babel, and along the way, we meet several cultures with very different lifestyles. Will we click with the thick-skulled warriors, or perhaps the baffling bards? Know, we do; out, you will find!

It's another milestone for us: our first proper sequel in the featured game spot! Axiom Verge 2 takes us to a strange Antarctica and an even stranger world beyond. What will billionaire Indra Chaudhari find there? What is Hammond Corp up to? How many times can we say "Amashilama" without getting tongue-twisted? Only by revisiting this universe and comparing its two games will we find the answers.

Greetings from Maine—er, Greater Marrow! With plenty of coastal villages and sea life, it seems like the perfect destination for adventurous anglers, but beware: staying awake beyond degen hours will lead to sleep deprivation AND Eldritch horror sightings. Let's get weird and see that panic meter maxed out.
