You flee your vehicle after running a stop sign, stumbling down an alley as you feel Vengeance stalking you from the shadows. Suddenly, the Defender of Gotham appears but fortunately he falls from the building like a sack of rice, he's out of batarangs and cannot hurt you.

Don't be confused, this episode does not star Mickey Mouse but I will be talking about the first game in the Illusion series!What was platforming like on the Genesis in a world without Sonic? Turns out - a little better than you would think. And with all the money put in the right spot, could Mickey have been poised as the mascot for the 16-bit console?? And most of all, how well does Castle of Illusion hold up?

On this very special and final entry of this years Ghoulcade, I'm joined by the one and only Redfox (Knight of The Living Podcast/Drunken Gamers/Super Slash Bros) to talk about the "scariest games of all time". Does Amnesia live up to its reputation? Are the mechanics really that deep or is it all in your head? Did we need to do a power hour to talk about this game? I'll answer that: Yes.

Back by popular demand, or by accountable inevitability - The Resident Evil series returns as I dive back into the story and lore once again of Resident Evil 4! 2023 washes away the old and brings in brand new canon as the remake replaces the original (and my original episode) according to our lord and saviors Capcom. So this time I'm not completely remaking what I already made, but am talking about the differences and what this means for the rest of the lore of the franchise. So wait, follow me, as I walk you through Resident Evil 4 one last time...
