We journey deeper into SPOOKY MONTH, past the thorny brambles, through the crumbling graveyard, over the alien’s house, into the haunted church where we find our two heroes, Matt Aukamp and PushingUpRoses, cowering in the corner, hiding from the goblins and playing video games.

This week, Roses played a harrowing psychological horror game (MORE ON THIS NEXT WEEK), Matt played a cute retro platformer, and then we dive into two spooky games!

First, NINE WITCHES: FAMILY DISRUPTION, a spooky/wacky point-and-click about witches and aliens and curses and Nazis.

Then, BYE SWEET CAROLE, a masterfully animated mesh of adventure genres, that’s like a playable dark fantasy Disney movie.

Games Mentioned:

 * Mouthwashing
 * Crow Country
 * Lust from Beyond
 * Pippistrello and the Cursed Yoyo
 * Nine Witches: Family Disruption
 * Bye Sweet Carole
 * Clock Tower

Episode 70 - Bye Sweet Carole & Nine Witches: Family Disruption

Take your pants off and run and hide, folks, because EPISODE SIXTY-NINE IS FALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF SPOOKY MONTH! It’s time to hump a dracula, french a skelerton, jack off with a swamp creature, and yell BOO at your partner when you climax.

In this episode, we’re going to get really fucking gross because we’re talking about the erotic horror adventure game Lust From Beyond. And, spoilers folks: We’re not fans!

So go grab your condom that you drew little ghost eyes on and lean back and enjoy Matt and Roses console themselves from playing this goddamn game.

Episode 66 - Rosewater

Ok, let's address the spider in the room: We could not find a way to play the Naked Gun game BUT we do come to you this week with stories of black jelly beans aand Roses dumping a scooter. Also, Matt is playing Hollow Knight: Silksong and has a lot to say about it.

Then, Matt recently got to play a PushingUpRoses favorite, Callahan's Crosstime Saloon! Some come on a journey with us and Jake Stonebender through time and space and a cozy little bar while we SAVE THE UNIVERSE!

Episode 65 - Callahan's Crosstime Saloon

WHY DON’T THEY HAVE WRESTLING MATCHES IN PUMPKIN PATCHES!? This isn’t the set-up to a street joke, this is a genuine question that Matt has. Roses watched a fake movie starring Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. Matt played a “stealth team tactics game” with ghost pirates.

BUT the real story here is that PushingUpRoses and Matt replayed a classic game from their youths that features a live-acted Christopher Lloyd in a fully cartoon world.  It’s called Toonstruck and it rules and the only bad thing about it is that they never released a sequel.
