Postgame.3 – You Gave the Baby a Knife

Welcome back to Postgame, Sidequest’s monthly Patreon-exclusive podcast, where the editors lay down hot takes on cold games. This is our [checks notes] October 2020 episode, releasing in January 2021. The missing episodes are in the pipeline, though, so they’ll be up in the coming month!

*** Spoilers for Gone Home start when Zora says they’ll add a timestamp and continue until the end of the episode (sorry!). ***
