EP: A Year of UFO 50 - Waldorf’s Journey

Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games

We're joined by Liz Ryerson (Sounds from the Abyss) and Ben Esposito (Neon White) to discuss Waldorf’s Journey, the 21st game in the UFO 50 collection.

"Waldorf didn't go looking for adventure. He was just trying to enjoy a nice nap..."

Next week: Porgy
