In 2018, season one ofMeatpunks wrapped up with Hope, during which Jay Castello says “questions are answered, questions are raised, and there’s plenty of teeth-gritted, fists-clenched optimism”. Season two begins with an episode called Reignition in which “The Meatpunks' quest to steal the sun begins in earnest when Cass finds a lead”. In episode two, also out today, “Brad joins a punk band. What could possibly go wrong?” The season will carry on this week with episodes titled “Hello Again”, “Too Far, Part 1”, “Too Far, Part 2”, and “Despair”.

I’d take an optimistic reading of that last one, expecting some twist that belies the title, if not for J. Szpilka’sexplanation of season one. “It is incredibly refreshing to experience a game where the characters are failures and don’t have to overcome themselves at emerge victorious at the end, a game where a character implicitly says: ‘we are fucked up meat critters with fucked up needs and if u run at 100% all the time it’ll destroy you’.” Well, perhaps Despair really will just be what it sounds like then.
The first season of Meatpunks iscurrently 70% off on Itch. It was also included with theItch Bundle For Racial Justice And Equalityback in June, so if you happened to kick in on that ginormous bundle, you’ve got a copy waiting for you.
