We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out! In this episode Gino and Pete are joined by Deep Listens supe...
Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for video games.

In this episode Gino and Pete are joined by Deep Listens superfan and Neku appreciator Kyle "RekiWylls" Young to discuss The World Ends With You. We start by responding to some feedback from Kyle on our Pyre discussion and that game's storytelling style. We then discuss the numerous unnecessary and inscrutable mechanics in TWEWY. Pete then leads a discussion on TWEWY's unique perspective on trendiness and consumer culture.
