    400: End of an Era

    Well, it's come time to finally end Bit Storm... Season 1. Ben and Trev have decided that 400 episodes is the perfect length for a season of a podcast, so this is the final episode of season 1. They discuss games that still don't exist at length like:

    • A timeloop adventure set between the hours of 9am and 3pm at an office
    • A dystopian adventure where the main character realises they are not like everyone else
    • A cosy game where you unpack a hoard.

    398: Larry the Hugger

    • A management game set in a resort
    • A point and click adventure game about a facehugger trying to find a face to hug.
