025 - Call of the Sea

Xbox Game Passengers

Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.

Once a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random.

Whether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

It was clear from its very first trailer that the debut title from developer Out of the Blue games, Call of the Sea, would be beautiful to look at (and with cast members like Cissy Jones and Yuri Lowenthal, listen to) — but can it tell a tale worthy of its beautiful presentation? Mikaela returns to the show to share her thoughts.

Call of the Sea is a first-person adventure puzzle game set in the 1930s that tells the story of Norah, a woman on the trail of her missing husband’s expedition. The search takes place on a strange but beautiful island in the South Pacific, filled with secrets waiting to be unearthed. It is an otherworldly tale of mystery, adventure, and self-discovery.
