60 min

Like any classic game, when you get close to the end, sometimes you have to face off with each boss you've defeated up to that point one more time.

Finally Kyle and Miles will face off with Arkham, confront Vergil, and close the portal to the demon world...hopefully.

60 min

DreadOut #1 - Definitely Not Fatal Frame

It's under 90 degrees outside and in Texas that means it's fall and fall means it's time for some scary games. Indonesian horror game DreadOut made waves when it was first released so Miles bought it on Steam; problem is he was never brave enough to play it by himself so he brought it to Backwardz Compatible so Kyle can join in his misery.

60 min

DreadOut #2 - Get Schwifty

It's Friday, you're done for the day, it's time to sit down, relax, and enjoy some videos right? That may be true for everyone else in the world but Kyle and Miles got after school detention. For what? I don't know, but what I do know is that the teacher forgot about our boys and locked them in for the night. So now Kyle and Miles have to brave a school haunted by a pig, some white haired harlot, and a principal with mental issues. The only thing standing between them and these ferocious phantoms is the camera on their smartphone. I hope they brought a charger.

60 min

DreadOut #3 - Lenny G

Kyle and Miles have obtained the scissors, the ONLY thing that can cut rope apparently. Now nothing is stopping them from going to the front of the school and using the keys to open the door. Oh, TOTALLY unrelated but how do you feel about swarms of locus and/or rats crawling on your face?

60 min

DreadOut #4 - Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

Kyle and Miles have fought ghosts, and they have run from ghosts, but did they ever consider trying to sit down and talk to a ghost? Maybe these ghosts are just misunderstood, maybe the woman in the red dress just wants to be friends, maybe the ghost that killed Doni was just trying to give him a neck massage and her hand slipped, I don't know, but what I do know is that this is the last episode of DreadOut.

60 min

Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion

It's October and things are getting a little spooky around the office, some might say 2Spooky. Our boys are playing a different spooky game every week in October. This week it's Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion. I know this looks cute and delightful now but trust me, things are not always what they seem.

60 min

Bendy and the Ink Machine

2Spooky October continues with Bendy and the Ink Machine! What horrors will Kyle and Miles find in the inky black heart of this once beloved animation studio? Monsters? Ghouls? Or the scariest thing of all...a sprint button that doesn't work?!

60 min

Alien Isolation: Last Survivor

2Spooky October brings Kyle and Miles back to the Nostromo, back to the stress, the fear, the crushing anxiety. It brings them back to their lovely and deadly Xenomorph named Scoops. Poor Scoops has had no one to play with for a whole year, I wonder if he'll be excited to see Kyle and Miles? I know our boys will be screaming when they see Scoops.

60 min

Layers of Fear

2Spooky October has to come to an end. So why not do it with a nice exploration game right? That's what Kyle and Miles thought anyway, but they got more than they bargained for. What mysteries does this old house hold? What happened to the painters wife and child? What "master piece" awaits under all the layers of this man's past? All I'll say is that the clench factor is astoundingly high in this game.

60 min

Layers of Fear #2

I know, I know, it's November and the card at the beginning says 2Spooky October but listen, our boys filmed this on Halloween and insisted it still counts. After everything they have been through and all the years they surely shaved off their lives from filming this part I think we can let it slide because this is without a doubt the scariest thing Kyle and Miles have played for Backwardz Compatible.

60 min

Layers of Fear - Inheritance DLC

Our boys thought they were done but oh how they were wrong. Years after the main game finished the painter's daughter returns to her childhood home in search of answers but unfortunately for Kyle and Miles the daughter may have inherited more from her father than just this decrepit old house.

60 min

Shovel Knight

Huzzah and greetings eager viewers. Join our intrepid young adventurers as they take up their shovels and journey to defeat the evil Enchantress. Bandits, monsters, rats on propellers, and the Order of No Quarter stand between our heroes and the Tower of Fate where the Enchantress resides. Can our boys make it through these challenges or will they end up being each others downfall? Only time will tell.

60 min

Shovel Knight #2 - Fairy of Shovelry

60 min

Shovel Knight #3 - The Cream of the Crop

Kyle and Miles come across the unrivaled Baz, trade blows with the sub-aquatic Treasure Knight, and cross shovels with the cold hearted Polar Knight.

60 min

Shovel Knight #4 - This Armor was a Mistake

Single screen co-op games can be a lot of fun. They can also be the most infuriating test of friendship two people can experience. This is one of those times.....the latter not the former. Shut up you knew what I meant.

60 min

Shovel Knight #5 - Gold Boi

The time has come, our boys have faced off with every Knight in the Order of No Quarter and now the only thing that stands in their way is The Enchantress and her Tower. Will Kyle and Miles overcome their challenges and avenge their good friend Shield Knight or will they fall never to rise again? One thing's for sure, they're gonna look fly as hell while doing it.

60 min

RE7 - I.C.P.

Kyle and Miles have a bomb strapped to their wrist, an I.C.P. loving mad man on the loose, and mold, so much mold growing everywhere in this mine. Our boys better grab some bleach and get to cleaning because this DLC is barreling towards it's conclusion. (Stick around after the credits because our boys get an exclusive play through of a Claire Redfield "Secret Mission".)
