Show Notes
A very sleepy Matt and a very inspired PushingUpRoses welcome an incredible guest onto the show to talk about one of the weirder games we've ever played. Musician, video producer and hella talented dude Neil Cicierega is on the show to talk about playing adventure games as 90's kid -- your dad bringing home shareware adventure games to install on your Windows 3.1 PC and the entire family puzzling over it over weeks, months, and years -- and how to pass that experience on to your kids.
We also do a surprisingly DEEP dive into a bizarre 1993 game Cliff Bleszinski designed in Visual Basic when he was 17, called Dare to Dream. It goes... places. Like literal Hell.

Are Matt and Roses here to talk about what a dork Shane Gillis is? Are they here to talk about how dumb the Tesla "Flying" Car is? Are they here to talk about the Play Date? Or The Shadows That Could Hear? Or a Zombified Angela Lansbury? NO! They're here to talk about Midnight Scenes. And they will. And it'll spook the pants off of you.
Roses and Matt attempt to scare each other by turning mundane stories into SpooOOOooOOooky stories.
After what could be the most alluring intro ever recorded, Matt and Roses discuss what they've been enjoying, promptly followed by finishing up the ULTIMATE RECOMMENDATION ELEGANZA EXTRAVAGANZA list. Roses gets too heated about Gone Home.
Roses got a Switch 2! So she can play Banjo-Kazooie again! Matt played an adorable, wholesome Metroidvania called The Merlies!
Roses informs Matt about the strangest Mascot of all time before they both get into the next set of recommendations. Roses is confused about Banjo Kazooie and Matt isn't quite sure what a puzzle adventure game is.
