Reviews of The Tragedy at Deer’s Creek, The Mermaid Mask and The Incident at Galley House

Hello and welcome to the Adventure Games Podcast.

My name is Shorsha Dunbar and I'm your host.

Well, hello, everybody, and welcome to the Adventure Games podcast.

I am not Saoirse Dunbar, but I am your host.

And hello, I am, of course, Laura Kress, aka Kressup.

I'm taking up the reins just for a very short while, while Saoirse is gallivanting around, enjoying himself as he should.

And with me, I've got some excellent adventure game fans and gamers.

First of all, we've got the lovely Johnny.

Hello, Johnny.

Hi,

Laura.

Glad to be here.

How are you?

I'm great.

It's good to see you again.

How have you been doing? What have you been playing at the moment?

Ooh, I've been taking a sneak

peek.

Yeah, I've been playing everything.

But lately, I was a backer of Roots in the Sky, the second hand of a Glory game.

So I got that one early.

And I just finished it yesterday.

And it's an amazing game.

So it's coming out August 26.

So probably it's already out by the time this episode airs.

So I can only say, go get that game, play it.

You'll love it, I'm sure.

And what are you going to be reviewing today? You're going to be helping with two reviews, aren't you?

Indeed.

I'm going to talk about the tragedy at Deer Creek and the incident at Galley House.

Yes, and I shall also be talking a little bit about the incident at Galley House, because lots of us have been playing that game, which is by the Root Trees devs.

And we also have the lovely Kieran.

Hello, Kieran.

Hello, hello.

Is it weird to not have a host that just kind of makes puns of your name all the time?

It's the easiest name to pun as well, so it works.

Yeah, I guess.

The coup is complete, though.

We all saw this coming.

Laura is

now fully uncharged.

I'll try, I guess.

But, you know, I just feel like the best quality puns have already gone quite some time ago, I have to say.

It felt like

we started at only medium quality.

I know,

yeah.

It's all gone downhill after that, hasn't it? What have you been playing in general? And then also, what are you going to be reviewing?

Yes, I've been playing Call of the Elder Gods as well, sequel to Call of the Sea.

And yeah, having a good time with that.

It can be in parts a bit of a marathon of a game.

There's some big parts of that.

But I'm having a really good time with it.

Great atmosphere there.

I'm also still promising that I will at some point get to the end of Ocarina of Time.

It will happen.

I want to finish it certainly before the remaster comes out.

But yes, I'm working my way slowly through that.

Amazing.

And of course, you're going to be reviewing.

And I'm going to be reviewing The Mermaid Mask, which is the latest Detective Grimoire game.

People might have played Tangled Tower, which was the second one, and the first one, which was just called Detective Grimoire, or was it called something else? I

think it was that,

yeah.

Yeah, the third of the Detective Grimoire games.

amazing yeah and i think this is one that quite a lot of us want to play as well so i'll be interested to know what you have to say about this now we've got one other person on on this call nodding away there to what kieran has to say and this is actually a new edition to the adventure games podcast and uh would you like to introduce yourself new edition hello and welcome hello laura It's me, Vicky.
