A Little About The Pod
Hiya! I'm Chloe.
The Pod is my cozy gaming blog, where I share honest reviews, indie game recommendations and write about gaming and mental health.
I grew up playing Pokémon and Crash Bandicoot. These days, I'm usually managing something complicated, solving a puzzle or getting completely invested in a story. My idea of cozy isn't always what you'd expect!
Gaming has helped me through some difficult times, and I wanted somewhere I could talk about that openly. I hope The Pod can be a place where people feel comfortable sharing what they enjoy, and discover new games to play along the way.
