Downloaded this off of game pass just the other day after hearing it spoken about on the Patreon monthly in a recent episode. Going to have to speedrun it before listening!

I planned to submit something for this but was traveling during the Patreon submission window and don't get on the forum as often as I should these days. Oh well. Sorry that some of the panel didn't get on with it, but like some of the writers they mention (Pynchon, et al), this is definitely an experience that could leave some cold, especially with the religious themes and narrative that doesn't want to play neatly with what most people are used to. Far from perfect, but was among my favorite gaming experiences last year. Side note: I kind of wondered if Pawpaw was less a reference to "grandpa" and more a reference to the pawpaw fruit? Maybe the game refutes that take, but again, it's been a year since I played it.
