  • Bonus Episode #4 - Dream Daddy
    Feb 27 2026

    “Dream Daddy” has it all: funny dads, musically inclined café puns, and heartfelt stories. Multiple paths to explore, a fun replay, and at least Kit is completely enamored. 5/5, would dad again.

  • Bonus Review #3 - Love, Ghostie
    Feb 20 2026

    “Love, Ghostie” provides coziness in death and romance. Easy to pick up, hard to put down, and a quick 5/5 from the hosts (or at least Kit).

  • Bonus Review #2 - Date Everything
    Feb 13 2026

    “Date Everything” kicks off with relevant jokes and quirky charm, but the things quickly become tedious. Repetitive gameplay and janky controls make it a slog, making it more of a “meh” than must-play.
