Surprise! One final Abnormal Mapping before the end of the year. Jackson is joined today by Erin to get thoughts down about the most baffling Game of the Year in recent history, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a game that has kicked off a ton of discourse most of which talks around the actual game itself, which is what this podcast is about.
