Episode Notes

Subnautica 2 released in Early Access this week. Within 1 hour, there were 100,000 people playing it on Steam alone. By mid-day, there were half a million. By the end of it, they had sold 2 million copies and counting.

Colette & Matt discuss how this indie darling shot to the top everyone's wishlist, and how its developer Unknown Worlds (tentatively) won the legal battle against its slimy corporate overlords.

Plus: Colette continues her Resident Evil journey into the 5th game where the scariest thing is the racism.

And Matt revisits the surreal dungeon crawler/RPG Caves of Qud, where turns are time, and water is money.
