Read our Full Review hereThis week on a special Boss Rush Network presentation, Corey Dirrig and Patrick Klein sit down with a panel of great content creators to talk about one of the year's biggest surprises: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, developed by Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive. Joining them are indie game content creator and Playlog Podcast host CGDannyB, variety streamer Professor Stalke, and former Boss Rush Network member and current Hair of the Dogcast host Stoy Jovic.They kick things off with about 20 minutes of spoiler-free discussion, covering the game’s core mechanics, general plot setup, first impressions of the characters, and how each of them approached their playthrough.Then it’s time for deep spoilers—everything from major story moments and character arcs to plot twists, choices, and how the different endings landed for each of them. They also get into how the game’s story and soundtrack came together so effectively, and why this small, passionate team reminded them why they love games in the first place.Follow our Cast: Corey Dirrig, Founder of Boss Rush MediaPatrick Klein, Game Manager of Boss Rush NetworkStoy Jovic, Host at Hair of the Dogcast NetworkCGDannyB, Indie Game Content Creator and Host of the Playlog PodcastProfessor Stalke, Variety Streamer on Twitch & KickSupport: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you for watching this special presentation of the Boss Rush Network.
