Unbelievably, it's been almost exactly five months since the Indieventure trio last checked in and just chatted about what we've been playing recently — and with June being a touch busy, what with it being Pride Month and our need to arrange travel plans both real and fictional, we totally missed a Steam Next Fest in there too. Time to fix both of those oversights with a laid-back episode which, I'm afraid, is going to put several new games on your wishlist.
Liam has been going all vigilante in noirish imsim Fallen Aces, having a surprisingly relaxing time stacking shelves in Supermarket Simulator, and kicking things with his gremlin leg in Anger Foot. Rebecca's found herself sneaking around an oil rig filled with Lovecraftian monsters who are curiously eager to show their many faces in Still Wakes the Deep, and reliving her days as a librarian restocking shelves and getting creeped out by an empty building (please, please be empty) in Amanda the Adventurer 2. Rachel's had a bit of a busman's holiday in journalistic sci-fi visual novel Times & Galaxy, and mixing it up a bit with nonlinear mansion exploration puzzle Blue Prince. Rebecca and Rachel both also played Crush House, which appeals to both of them on a deep level but for very different reasons, Rachel being all about its pitch-perfect reality TV spoof and Rebecca loving how it creatively deconstructs life sims and dating sims.
In our latest hyperfixations, Liam and Rachel have had something close to a spiritual awakening listening to Charlie XCX's Brat album on repeat. Rebecca can't quite match their energy on this occasion, but does put forward a good case for Audible-exclusive '00s cult comedy revival Green Wing: Resuscitated.
