TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Dot to Dot. With 85 minutes, they'll demo show. For everyone who's simply dotting it out, Alexa. Hey guys, third one in this series from the same developers.

This one is called Desolate Board Game and we did it ages ago. I'm hesitant here because the last two have just been so involved, but let's give it a go. Alexa, open Desolate Board Game. Welcome to Desolate.

To begin, say new game. To learn how to play, say rules. Say help at any point during the game if you need help. Say about to get information about the game.

Rules. Let's see how long they are. Great. Don't worry, this won't take long.

You can say next to proceed to the next step. Back to go back to the previous step, and repeat if you want me to repeat the current rule. Say new game at any time to start a new game. Now, say next to continue.

Next. You don't need the board by the way, guys. After a crash landing during a failed rescue mission, you are trapped in a space station on a remote moon. Soon after entering the station, you realize you are not alone.

Can you power up the escape shuffle before you run out of oxygen, or worse, are killed by hostile aliens? Your objective is to survive long enough to claim five power cells in order to power up the escape shuffle and win. Say next to continue. Next.

You start the game by choosing two items. The game has seven items in total, but every time you start a new game, only three items are randomly drawn from the items deck. You can challenge yourself by choosing different item combinations. Say next to continue.

Next. There are three phases in the game. One. Exploration phase.

Two. Resource collection phase. Three. Conflict phase.

Say next to continue. Next. During the exploration phase, you draw two cards. The first one is revealed, while the second card is unknown.

You decide whether you want to play and resolve the revealed card, or you decide the revealed card and resolve the second, unknown card. Say next to continue. New game. Starting a new game.

Reactor, offline, you need to find five power cells. to bring it back online. Let me shuffle the cards. All right.

Let's pick your items. Choose your first item of the following. One. Space armor.

Start the game with four extra health and health capacity. Two. Vision hell. One per level.

Reveal both exploration cards and pick one to resolve. Three. Extended clip. Start the game with three extra ammo and ammo capacity.

Stop. Thank you for playing desolate. If you enjoyed the game, you should try dungeon roll. Oh, deep space dice.

Cool. Now, that kind of thing really doesn't do it for me, but if that's pretty exciting, sounding, then give it a go. This is Robin signing off. And normal service will resume summary.

Feedback, comments, demos. The dot-to-dot podcast at gmail.com. Freecast.fm. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.
