Coffincast is back, baby! This week, Kristin plays with herself! I mean, plays a game by herself, the newest installment of Life is Strange. We are covering it chapter by chapter, and this week is Chapter 1: A-Side.

To skip the spoilers, fast forward to 36:55 from the music break.

What do you do with a drunken sailor? Eat him. This week Kristin does a shallow dive, then a deep dive into the video game What Remains of Edith Finch. There will absolutely be a spoiler warning before anything is revealed and this is a game you don't want ruined!

This season at Coffincast we are throwing a big middle finger up to 2020, and heading into 2021 with a new season that is following different facets of media that go into death and the after life. This week, Kristin talks about Soul. Not the concept of a soul, but the kids movie. Yep. 

This week we meet Sada Abe. I... see... hmm... Okay, so she did something really bad, but I don't want to say here, because I think you may not listen so, just listen. Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sada_Abe https://allthatsinteresting.com/sada-abe
