With another HLTB community event having wrapped up not too long ago, your trusty hosts Lia, Matt and Roy look back and discuss the games of Itchmas 2025, the annual indie game extravaganza!
Additionally, Matt finally dusts off a game that’s been backlogged for over 10 years, Lia rectifies the error of her ways and retires some brand slop, and Roy finally graduates from Hatsune Miku’s school of bomb defusal!
Wasp simulations, edging in videogames, language roguelites, and another round of the brand-new, flawless, untitled collections game to round it all off. We got it all!
