    S4: Room 3 - Anxiety and You!
    Mar 23 2025

    After 6 months of absence, the boys are *finally back* (heard that before) and ready for another round of group therapy.


    Life has gotten more complicated for all of us since our last episode, so we figured now would be the best time to check in with each other as good friends should. As it happens, we found out that mental health can actually DECLINE if we don't continue taking proper care of ourselves! But what does that look like?

    Tutorials can be awesome, but they can also be suck-tacular. They can be brief, or overly drawn-out. They can sometimes hold your hand, and they can sometimes be Dark Souls. The one thing that most games have in common is that they each have one, even if you might not realize that it's there.

    The boys are back for Sub-Level 4 of the Backrooms Podcast!! In a industry hyper-saturated with dime-a-dozen button mashers and mindless time killers, there are a growing number of games that tower above the masses as narrative "blockbusters" nearly fit for showtimes at your local AMC! But do games need to have Oscar-worthy levels of storytelling to be enjoyable, or is it fine to just switch our brains off and get lost in the flow of a great gameplay loop? Join us in the first episode of this new season of somewhat intelligent and barely engaging game analysis, and you may hopefully find an answer! (no guarantees)
