Then, we descend into the eerie tale of Killswitch — a game that supposedly deletes itself after being beaten. Was it real, or just a digital campfire story? And what connects this urban legend to our modern fear of media manipulation?

From philosophical storytelling to digital ghost stories, this episode is a must-listen for gamers who love mystery, conspiracy, and unforgettable narrative twists.
We kind of go off the rails at the end with our rambling, I promise the next will be more structured.
