This episode may have no value but that's just the value of nihilism. (Gotta work on my jokes) Today's episode talks about a piece of obscure minor 2015 Steam history with the indie game Gasp by Dark Day Interactive and how the philosophy of nihilism might apply. Hope you enjoy!

WELLL....this episode is late on June 1st but let me tell you this episode gave me a big rabbit hole of research that I didn't expect and still has me questioning a lot but thank you for you patience. However, today's episode will be covering just the basics on Lovecraftian horror and how it is shown through the indie video game Dredge. Hope you enjoy!
