Episode 37 - There were TONS of new gaymes revealed at Not-E3 2025!

Zoe Straw and Lloyd_Lloydster join me to cover the huge amount of queer game reveals this weekend!

First, we race through the headlines! Then we jump into the PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest, Day of the Devs, and the Wholesome Direct. There were a lot of games overall, but we focus very heavily on the queer games, most of which were indies!

On Sunday, I recorded an extra solo segment focused on the Access-ability Summer Showcase, Frosty Games Fest, and then wrapping up with a quick summary of the Xbox Showcase.

Don’t forget to wishlist all your favourite games! :)
