Episode details
Comments

Ben and Tao eventually navigate their way past the podcast intro to explore the tundra and blisteringly cold wilds of Victorian era, steam punk city builder, Frostpunk. They dissect the differences between real time strategy and city-builder genres, argue the merits of employing child labour, debate the importance of replayability and ponder the pitfalls of emotional storytelling. Some minor spoilers.
