GAME TIME!

The Courage of Our Convictions

Heaven Will Be Mine is a game about big ideas and big feelings. OSG podcast is also about that. We have big feelings constantly, from the first moment Alice bullies Niko to the final “goodbye, I love you,” and ideas? Well, they don’t get bigger than ours—as proven by the compendium of Official OSG Stances compiled by diligent scribe and friend of the show, Ghost.

Niko pulled from this list to ask Brian and Alice (and here, you, the listener!) to stand in our truths, to recall what our faction would be about, and to fondly reflect on some of the dumbest shit we’ve said with feeling in our voices. Niko will be supplying you three stances. Which of them is an ACTUAL official OSG stance. If you don’t, well... Someone else’s ending might become canon.
