Gold-Plated Games

After a lost week, we’re back to digging through the Weeklong Deals! They’re a pretty good cross-section of genres this time, with plenty of horror, survival, shooting, and even a few recent Platformebruary features. Speaking of our most recent series, this week I’ll be rounding out the last three entries that I missed when I vanished at the end of February. We’re also getting into some new realms in our streams, with a deep dive into Yume Nikki tonight, a dip into the 7DRL 2020 game jam on Wednesday, and a wave of classic edutainment games crashing over us this weekend. Make sure you’re following our Twitch channel if you don’t want to miss these gaming excursions!
