Join us all at The Drunk Druid for a chat on all things Puzzles vs Narrative in game design. For this episode, we're joined by the fantastic Nathan and Marcus who are hosts of the Aurelius Whitlock's Murder Museum podcast, and designers on hugely popular video game, Rise of the Golden Idol.
Enjoy!
As always the team have recommendations for your better enjoyment. This month, they are!
- Jamie Death and other details Mandy Patinkin being Poirot on a cruise ship. What's not to like.
- Mike James Lee - How I think Creatively YT video - Frankly terrifying Youtuber giving advice on creativity as if he's cast himself in Sin City.
- Nathan Blue Prince Honestly the entire team lost their minds so completely as soon as this game got mentioned that I was sick a little in my mouth.
- Marcus Elyot - 30 Puzzle Design Lessons Another YT video - Frankly obscenely wide ranging and deep (and I mean deep, like, Oceangate deep) on puzzle design.
- Mairi Uketu Strange Pictures AN ACTUAL BOOK. ACTUAL PROPER CULTURE. THANK YOU MAIRI, THANK YOU. Oh wait it's by a Youtuber. However, a Youtuber that wrote a book that Mairi polished off in a single sitting. And, frankly (my word of the day), I have never met someone as easily distracted so, hats off Uketu. You broke Mairi.
Recommendations summarised by the editor, Jon; who was, by the end, so utterly enraged by having this entire set of show notes accidentally deleted that he really went off on one and then began writing about himself in the third person.
What a guy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
