In today's episode, Rik and Jo are in Twin Lakes, joining Detective Francis McQueen and Officer Patrick Dooley of the local police department’s Darkside Division.

Due to a number of factors, including our hosts’ refusal to do much research into the games they’ve wishlisted, bought, or even selected to discuss on a podcast, it’s a slightly different change of pace this week.

Like the game itself, this discussion goes off at a few different tangents, including whether Rik can remember Day of the Tentacle (not really), and if Jo liked Twin Peaks (yes) and understood it (no).

There’s also consideration of one of adventure gaming’s oldest questions: does George Stobbart ever behave like a normal human man with a job?

Plus, is it clever to put other people’s stuff in your thing? And, if so, did Rik write a story to rival Ready Player One all the way back in 1988?
