Under One Thousand sifts through the Steam store to find hidden gems: games that deserve a spotlight for their innovation, craftsmanship, and inventiveness. From gruesome PSX-emulating horror games to avian legal simulators, we cover it all -- so long as it's got under one thousand reviews when we find it.

VS MODE #1: *Link Noises* (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
Introducing Versus Mode, a new series from Sam in which he defends his spiciest gaming theses against a panel of opposing voices.
For the first episode, we're talking BoTW: Sam hates it, and he talked to some folks who didn't. We analyze what it means to be a Zelda game, the merits and pitfalls of open world, and more!

#13 Future Historical Fiction (Citizen Sleeper)
We cover Jump Over the Age (https://jumpovertheage.com/)'s Citizen Sleeper (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1578650/Citizen_Sleeper/), the breathtakingly artistic and deeply moving tale of a stowaway, a space station, and the intersection of stories.
Note from Sam:
We talk about a lot in this episode, and that's because there's a lot to love.
I think one thing we should have talked a lot about is the writing; we took it for granted in reviewing the episode, as the x-factor that bound all of the elements of the game together. It's beautiful, and if we're sticking with the space theme, it's the vital air that animated and sustained all of the characters on Erlin's Eye.
I won't make a habit of issuing errata for our episodes, but I felt it bore mentioning.
