Currently Playing – 21 – Weather Factory Games (Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours) with Matt

Currently, Currently Playing is joined by Matt who’s been playing games from Weather Factory, notably in the form of Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours, both of which are incomprehensible to Daniel. Matt tries his best to explain rule discovery puzzle crafting card games with their emergent and dynamic gameplay. You simply must see the game in action to get a grasp of what is going on, so check out the YouTube video below the timecodes for a good primer on this game.

Daniel’s music on Spotify

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
