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'.

• Cyber Buglets by Team Buglet: A single player experience that presents itself as a dead virtual pets community from the 2000’s. Years after its closure, a popular 2000’s virtual pet game suddenly shudders back to life.

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:

This week on Zed Games Zahra, Peter, and Natalia get super cool and put on some shades to talk the week in #GamingNews. Zahra takes a leaf out of Dr Seuss finding things, rings, knowers of the known, Venn diagrams, and clearing their name in the board game 'Things In Rings' from allplay. Natalia then double dips crying on public transport while playing 'and Roger' from TearyHand Studios, and then plays the comic equivalent of a haiku in 'A Ravens Monologue' from Mojiken Studios. Then Zahra cleans up with 'Spilled!' from Lente.
