Read excerpt
Ben and Trev are back on Random Movies, hurling DVDs at each other and turning the pairs into game designs. This week: a narrative bowling game set on league night in a too-perfect 1950s town, where you pick which conversations to eavesdrop on between frames; a whistleblower conspiracy about a government cover-up of ancient sentient trees whose magical wood has quietly shaped history; a Christmas ghost who skips the redemption and simply steals his target's face and life, Face/Off style.

Ben and Trevor tackle the "Trust No One" theme for an upcoming game jam, using a random word generator to spark several high-concept designs: a puzzle game involving blocks of ice and a suspicious AI assistant, where the player must determine if the instructions provided to navigate the room are trustworthy; a high-stakes golf game set in Florida where you must manage a manual scorecard and determine if your opponent is cheating on their shots; a conspiracy-theory-driven investigation where the

This week, they dive into some wild new concepts: a heavy, atmospheric journey where a character must transport a single "strongbox" to a new home, navigating the physical and emotional weight of their possessions; a high-stakes, narrative-driven busking simulator where a struggling artist in a rainy ci

Ben and Trev dig out Fucked Up Click Pitch for the first time in a good while, where a cursed word generator hands them one baffling word each to build a game around. This week: a goat who is thrilled to be sacrificed with a bread knife at a mountain summit; a periodic table of vegetables, assembled via particle accelerator; a hospital waiting room conspiracy that hinges entirely on a single nail hole; the story of how a washed up Duck Hunt dog gets his groove back; and more!
