Lazy Code: Respawn? Same Soul, New Save File

About this episode

The episode explores the concept of past lives and the possibility of consciousness being transferred into new human forms.

Before you were you… who were you? For their final hurrah, Dan and the Lazy Code team, Halina Brooke and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck enter into the trance of past life experiences. From children who remember how they once tragically died, to skills, scars, and scaries that transfer across save files. Could consciousness be reloaded into a new human character? And if so, why can't these previous players just let go of the controller!
