Bjay and BJ invite you to play indie games with them and share your thoughts. This month- I Am Dead. Next Month- 20XX!
Lunark
Long ago, BJay and BJ made plans to explore an interplanetary conspiracy. In this episode, they investigate the secret to the prosperity of the planet Albaryne in Canari Games' debut release, Lunark. Lunark was published by Canari Games. Huge thanks to Lunark creator Johan Vinet for allowing us to use extracts of his soundtrack in this episode. We highly recommend buying the soundtrack and the game- they're available in a bundle on Steam! The soundtrack is also available separately on Bandcamp. We used sections of the tracks 'The Tube' and 'The Savior of Albaryne' in this episode. If you have any suggestions for games for us to play, or want to share your thoughts on any of the games we've played so far, please find us using our social links below.

I Am Dead by Hollow Ponds and Annapurna Interactive
Join Bjay and BJ as they die (but feel quite OK about that), wander around an island with their dog (also dead, but doing fine), and end up experiencing a moving set of stories (a surprising number of which involve toast). I Am Dead is available for Windows, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch. Our next episode on 20XX will release on March 12th. Please send us your thoughts via our twitter account @bjaybjgameshow, by email at [email protected], or in this episode's Q+A section on Spotify.
