This episode has Lunar and Sailor are breaking down the games we played for Fun Month, from the jobs we absolutely should not have accepted, to the places we had no business entering, to the mechanics that made us question whether friendship is actually helpful in survival situations. We’re talking scares, atmosphere, co-op chaos, what actually worked, what made us mad, and which moments had us laughing, yelling, blaming each other, and still somehow hitting ready again like fools. Pacify gave us creepy errand-running with a side of panic. Chained in the Backrooms turned basic coordination into a personal attack. Dollhouse of the Dead brought the kind of cursed doll energy that makes you want to leave the room spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Lunar came looking for lore. Sailor came with chaos. The games came for whatever patience we had left. Welcome to Fun Month. Nobody said the fun had to be healthy.
