Once in a while, your co-hosts play the same game and have things to say about it – thus warranting an extra special episode! For our second special, we talk about developer Nitro+’s Saya no Uta, aka Song of Saya, thanks to the recent re-release. If you’re interested in the game and don’t want to get spoiled, rest assured, you can listen to the intro to hear our general opinions before the spoiler section. After that, we take a deep dive into the various endings, themes, and comparisons with Nitro+ Chiral’s sweet pool.
