This week on Zed Games Paul, Caroline, and Tom embrace the overwhelming chaos of life, love, and the week in #GamingNews. Then Paul grows horns, rips his jeans, and serves some burgers playing the feminist, slice-of-life, narrative rhythm game 'Dead Pets' from Akupara Games. And Caroline gets culty while being a lamb in 'Cult Of The Lamb' from Massive Monster Studios and its new fluffy snow and squishy organ DLC 'Woolhaven'.

This week on Zed Games Zahra, Peter and Tom bond over the stress and horrors of moving, then turning on the ESP, connecting with the spirits to talk the week in #GamingNews - psychically brought to us from Paul through the aether. Then Tom grabs the joystick, pulls on a leather jacket and dons some cheap shades to play 'Terminator 2D: No Fate' from Bitmap Bureau before Paul manages to review an entire game only using 4 alphanumerical characters in 'TR-49' from inkle. Then Tom gets his hype bubble burst watching 'Return to Silent Hill'. Timestamps and Links:
