Gone is the familiar, cavernous office of the Mythic Quest studio.
In its place is a boat atop the open seas on its way to a private island.
At least one of the stars involved agrees.

That was my favorite episode this season to shoot, Charlotte Nicdao tellsDen of Geek.
Its actually quite unusual that the entire ensemble would be in one room together for most of the episode.
We all just got to hang out for the week in amazing costumes.
I felt like I spent a lot of time that week laughing when I wasnt supposed to be laughing.
The Villains Feast is directed by series co-creator Megan Ganz and written by Ganz and her husband Humphrey Ker.
I happened to be free and happen to know the other writer very well, Ker jokes.
When Meg and I first met each other, we bonded over a shared love of detective fiction.
I have a real love of Agatha Christie and murder mysteries, Ganz concurs.
Originally I think [this episode] was just like they were going to a party.
But then we landed on this, which synced up to me withAnd Then There Were None.
According to Ganz, that inspiration comes directly from a writers room experience.
One time after work, we all played Werewolf together and it was really funny.
One of our writers, John Howell Harris, hated it and didnt want to play.
The whole time, he just kept being like, Im a werewolf.
And he lasted basically to the end of the game.
Of course, no murder mystery is complete without a compelling resolution and The Villains Feast comes through.
Rachel uses her expertise to realize that most of her co-workers have motive for wanting to host the party.
Ian Grimm (McElhenney) intends to use it to vet Poppys new boyfriend.
Poppy and Storm use it to troll Ian.
David Brittlesbee (David Hornsby) wants to prove he can be a fun guy.
But this event is clearly designed for Rachel.
Rachels prize for identifying Dana as the villain is an engagement ring.
To work with Meg is a real joy, Ker says.
Were very kind of … whats the word, co-dependent on each other?
She finished my sentence from the other room, just to demonstrate that as clearly as possible.
Fourepisodes of Mythic Quest season 4 are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
New episodes premiere Wednesdays, culminating with the finale on March 26
