March Indiescovery + Introducing The Roottrees are Dead 📰 Geeks & Grounds Podcast

1 hr 54 min

It's a walk down memory lane this week with Aenne of Stumpt Gamers! Aenne, as a puzzle pro, will be joining as this months' co-host during what will now be our internet sleuthing era: that's right, we're playing another deductive game: The Roottrees are Dead. While I think this game definitely is less layered and symbolic than last month's title, Kentucky Route Zero, I do think there's a lot to reflect on (especially as someone who spends a lot of time online). Celebrity obsession, our fascination on "finding the truth" with gossip, family power and dynamics, and the ways the internet has evolved. We do a lot of reminiscing this week, and I look forward to seeing how things actually pan out when we do our deep dive on the game. --------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Find Aenne on YouTube as Stumpt or PeachyAenne, and as "PeachyAenne" across social media (IG, Bluesky).
