    379: Use Chicken On ...

    With Powerjam 2 going on, Ben and Trevor jump into their favourite genre of games, adventure. They use this years prompt to delve into some adventure games and discuss what they would do for a one room adventure game. Some of the ideas involved in the adventure games discussed include:

    • The very sweary grandma from all the fairy tales and nursery rhymes is actually the same person who is under house arrest.
    • What if the adventure game UI became a real object in the game.
    • One guest at the party has a sensory deprivation "helmet" on their head.
