Summary

An unnamed man wakes up outside of a macabre circus, and he must set about learning why he is there. This classic-style point and click adventure game tells a pretty standard psychological horror story with a lot of allusions and metaphor, which isn't going to be everyone's favorite thing. However, there is tons of great horror imagery and a few very rewarding puzzles to try to tackle.

Our highlighted project this week is Sinclair Lore, a YouTube channel run by our friends Sin and Sophie, where they talk about Bloodborne, Souls, and Elden Ring lore. Check them out!

0:52.0	My name is Gary Butterfield. My name is Cole Ross. And you're
1:21.9	listening to watch out for fireballs. It is a games club podcast. And this week we're talking
1:27.2	about Strangeland, which is a horror adventure game developed by a wormwood studios and published
1:32.9	by a watch it eye for the PC and Mac in 2021. What I want the listeners to know is that before we
1:40.4	were recording Gary and I were bonding over how funny the phrase nitro burning funny cars is
1:46.3	nitro burning funny cars. It's got 18-year-old hard body, hyphenated, string of word appeal.
1:56.0	Just like people. The Dungeons & Dragons logo and fought with nitro burning funny cars and 18-year-old
2:02.2	hard bodies. Like with the fancy dragon amperer saying I'd be doing them. Yeah, I just wanted to
2:10.8	let people know about the good times because they're probably going to disagree on this one.
2:15.3	No, it's also I think that I feel like you maybe have an inflated sense of how much I just

2:29.0	why I put it on the list. I enjoy this. Yeah. Well, we'll talk about your mileage will vary.
2:34.4	It's interesting too because if you look at the critical consensus or what have you on this,
2:42.7	like it's got a real difference in its steam reviews and critical reviews. Which is higher.
2:50.4	Critic or I think so. I think it's a user is low and I don't remember the exact,
