Space-Cast! #46. Screaming Sherlock

Wee Aquinas didn't find Scream Park all that scary. Then again, the 13th century is way scarier than any haunted house. It's the haunted house of centuries.

Is Jono Naito-Tetro a designer? A collective? A publisher? ALL OF THE ABOVE? On today’s Space-Cast!, we sit down with Jono to chat about a wide range of exciting titles. From the creative crime-sleuthing of Here Lies to the garbled transmissions of Signal and the unexpected antagonists of Scream Park, join us as we dig into what makes DVC Games one of the most exciting independent publishers operating today.

  1. Without knowing anything about DVC, I picked up Corvids from their booth at the Rochester MakerFaire. I had no idea who they were and had never played any of their games but it looked cool.

    It’s still on the shelf of games that haven’t been played yet. Because of the last few reviews you’ve done and this podcast I’m moving it to the front of the line.

    Looking forward to it and thanks.
