Inspired by games like Type Help, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol, and Immortality, Will meticulously crafts experiences that challenge players to make deductive leaps that feel meaningful while not being overly obtuse. Will manages to keep this tenuous balancing going throughout hours-long experiences full of beautiful art, competent writing, and thrilling detective work. As an enjoyer of Will’s genre of choice in particular, I have only played two or three games that I can think of that I would say measure up to his level of craftsmanship and obvious grassroots love for detective fiction. What’s more, Will chooses to provide his games to audiences for free. It’s a genuine joy to have him on the show today.\nWishlist Green Mist Over Portland! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4644870/Green_Mist_over_Portland/\nCheck out The Red Pearls of Borneo on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4488860/The_Red_Pearls_Of_Borneo/\nBushmonkey's itch.io page: https://bushmonkey.itch.io/\nRead Dead History: https://bookshop.org/p/books/red-dead-s-history-a-video-game-an-obsession-and-america-s-violent-past-tore-c-olsson/38b382c4bccacd1e?ean=9781250287700&next=t&next=t&affiliate=3214","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6ymojzqyD00O6uaMm0iKA54tmQiqJqEi3o2Imn1CODQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNWNi/MjdlODczMTQ2MDQ3/OGQ3ZDFjNWNlMTc2/M2E2Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
