Vessel / Dear Esther – Cane and Rinse No.34

Tony, James, Josh and Darren are your panel for two contrasting titles. Strange Loop's Vessel is a puzzle-platformer with a steampunk aesthetic and an emphasis on physics. While thechineseroom's Source Engine adventure Dear Esther exists almost entirely without videogame conventions or ludological concerns, instead focusing entirely on relating a story to the participant. Find out if the crew believe that that each succeeded in its aims. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_thirty_four.mp3   Music used in this issue: 1: Vessel by Jon Hopkins 2: Sleepwalker by Jon Hopkins 3: The Bone of Jakobsen by Jessica Curry Cane and Rinse 34 was edited by Darren Gargette Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
