This week, we are joined by podcaster, zine publisher, and game designer Iko, to talk about his newly released game, The Lost Bay. Join us as we discuss game design, horror in TTRPGs, and a nostalgia for the 90s that never were. Also, please forgive the audio quality in some of the sections; we were having some connectivity issues with Iko in Paris.
You can find Iko's work at thelostbaystudio.com, or on Itch at the-lost-bay.itch.io. You can also find him over on Twitter, @thelostbay, or on Discord (link on Itch page).
