This former agent just wants to stay retired.

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button lives up to its name with its selection for this episode. Our hosts have been tasked with playing the strangely named First-Person Shooter developed by indie studio Strange Scaffold and published by Frosty Pop. It turns out this studio likes to give their games zany names, so this is actually par for the course for them. That said, Tom and Chris are unfamiliar with their body of work, so it will be up to this FPS to set their first impressions. Each of our hosts has just an hour to make a decision, and they have mere fractions of that time to complete each of its frantic levels. When the time's up, what will their final rating be? Join our hosts as they are judged on their performance and then do some judging of their own!

The skipper promised a three hour tour!

Our hosts play random games on the Xbox Game Pass service and often that means titles they had never seen before the "Surprise Me" button makes the selection. Such is the case with this third person adventure title developed by Polygon Treehouse and published by Whitethorn Games. Players take on the role of Alex, who gets stranded on a strange island full of gods with amnesia. In order to get back home, she'll have to help these enfeebled immortals first. Will that prove to be an interesting narrative? Will it be a fun thing to play? More importantly, did you get our Gilligan's Island reference? Join Tom and Chris as they take about the length of an episode of that classic sitcom to regale you with their experience and decide if staying stranded is the thing to do.

Our hosts were teens in the late 1990s too.

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has selected another narrative adventure title! The focus here is similarly on story and there's more of that teen angst and certainly some mysteries as well. Fortunately for our hosts, this one developed by DigixArt is played from a first person perspective and set in a fictional past instead of far into an alternate future. Will a plot set in 1996 resonate with our hosts even if it takes place in a made up country? Will Tom and Chris make different choices as they play and will those choices have a meaningful impact on their individual experiences? Join our dynamic duo as they chat about an hour spent as runaway teens and learn if this adventure is one you should experience for yourself.
