This week, Rik and Jo are in Nordsund to investigate a series of murders in Whispers of a Machine.

It’s a two-parter this time, and in this first episode, our hosts discuss Grandma Vera, Vera Duckworth and Vera Englund, and how only one of them is a cool protagonist with an undercut and trendy jacket that attracts compliments from strangers.

Other topics discussed include bosses that sit and stare into space, crap museum exhibits, and a plant master called Rolf.

Plus Rik and Jo explore this game’s system of different personality traits, the iffiness of people who loudly self-identify as empaths, and non-ethical ways to get through a door.
