Cherry Requirement and Replayability

We're joined by Izzy Kestrel (Gexfeld, A Good Videogame), Shawn Alexander Allen (Treachery in Beatdown City), and the one and only Rand Hall (UFO 50 Voicemailer Extraordinaire) to discuss Cyber Owls, the 50th and final* game in the UFO 50 collection.

“A superweapon threatens to destroy the world, and it's up to the Cyber Owls to save the day!”

Next week: [REDACTED]
