Intro Music – Final Impasse By Ground is Lava

What we’re playing

Amanda – I tried the demo of little nightmares 2 on the Xbox game pass. It’s got great music and a really amazing ethereal feel with no dialogue that I’ve come across so far. But as a mix of horror and platformer, I’ll probably not finish it, to be honest even though it’s amazing. 

Little Nightmares II

Stacy- I’m the worst, and I’ve played very little lately.  I’ve watched a TON of let’s plays with my favourite Scary Game Squad as they play through Resident Evil 8: Village. Living vicariously through gamers who don’t mind traipsing through mansions filled with haunted dolls, giant vampire-ladies, and horseback-riding/ax-brandishing lycans.
