Episode 153 - Finding Our Way Home in Wanderstop and Baby Steps

It’s the annual Girl Mode Game Exchange, the episode where we force each other to play one of our favorite games of the year, under penalty of death. This year, we chose Wanderstop and Baby Steps, two games about the struggle to find self-worth that take two very different paths to get there. Only one is obsessed with making you look at donkey dicks, for instance. This year, we were both pretty surprised by our reactions to our games and we didn’t even get furious with each other once, which I think is a first for one of these episodes!

!Spoilers for all of Wanderstop and Baby Steps!
