034 - Sea of Solitude

Published: April 1, 2022, 7 a.m.

b'Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\\n\\nOnce a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\\u2019s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) at random.\\n\\nWhether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they\\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what\\u2019s coming up on the next adventure.\\n\\nWe\\u2019re (finally) back to some female representation as Mikaela re-joins the show to chat about 2019\\u2019s very pretty sadness simulator, Sea of Solitude. Will Mikaela cry before the end of the episode? You\\u2019ll have to listen to find out, but damn this game was depressing.\\n\\nWhen humans get too lonely, they turn into monsters\\u2026\\n\\nSea of Solitude takes you on a personal journey of a young woman\\u2019s loneliness. Set sail across a beautiful and evolving world, where nothing is quite what it seems. Meet fantastical creatures and monsters, learn their stories, and solve challenges. Explore a flooded city, either by boat, on foot, or by swimming through the water itself. Dare to look what lies beneath the surface, in a haunting struggle of darkness and light, and discover what it truly means to be human.\\n\\nListen to find out how things went, and if you like what you\\u2019ve heard, here\\u2019s where you can subscribe to the show:\\n\\nAnchor\\nApple Podcasts\\nBreaker\\nCastbox\\nGoogle Podcasts\\niHeartRadio\\nOvercast\\nPocket Casts\\nPodBean\\nRadioPublic\\nStitcher\\nSpotify\\nTuneIn\\n\\nThanks for joining us for another episode!
