Ben’s schedule on the second day of PAX West was packed with game demos, time loops, interviews, and… time loops. Ben talks about playing a large assortment of demos, including Fractured Blooms, Project ATOM, ATMOSFAR, Bakudo, OPUS: Prism Peak, Anthem#9, Unyielder, and Aether and Iron. Other conversations he had on Day 2 of the show were with Hank: Drowning on Dry Land game director Jakub Lisinski from My Next Games, Blocks for Babies designers/developers Noah Ritz and Dan Rock from BunkSoft Interactive LLC, and Karen Morrison from the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Foundation, a global charitable organization serving underrepresented and marginalized developers and individuals interested in a career within the gaming industry. Ben ends the show with a pair of game reviews—Death Kid and Rusty Rangers
