Ōtautahi musician Lukas Mayo, known as pickle darling, joins Sofia on bFM for a chat about their new gameboy-esque project: pickle darling: the game .
In a pixelated green world materialised by artist Christiane Shortal, the game is set in the Aotearoa music universe where you play as pickle darling on their quest to retrieve their lost album... before their label drops them.
