It's August (already!) so we share some of our favourite "Summer" games as well as our thoughts on the decidedly un-summery Still Wakes The Deep which was July's play-along game of the month.
Plus James talks a look at Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and explore the (early) depths of Hellblade among others, while Giles investigates The Curse of the Golden Idol and explored the Dungeons of Hinterberg. All that and the usual catch-ups, tangents and general nonsense.Timestamps:0:00 Intros2:54 What we've been up to / feedback / pod stuff16:48 Still Wakes the Deep (our play along for July)25:25 What else we've been playing39:54 News Bytes50:14 Some top "summer" games65:35 Wrapping upAs always, we'd love to hear from you via our socials @achesandgames, our Facebook page or by emailing [email protected].

In July's episode we share some picks from the recent summer showcases and our thoughts on Animal Well, our inaugural (great word right) play-along game of the month.
Plus James talks completing the delightfully deranged
Disco Elysium and the brilliant bleakness of Bramble, while Giles ponders Humanity and Harry Potter (one of those in Lego form). All that and the usual catch-ups, tangents and general nonsense.
