Hello friends, and welcome to another episode of A Study in Games podcast. This season, we’re tackling the subject of DEATH in games … no, no, not the scary, sad, creepy, kill-everything-on-the-screen kind of death. More the fish scene in the Meaning of Life kind of death. Like … what’s it all about?
This month, we played What Comes After from Pikselnesia & Rolling Glory Jam. It’s a neat little visual novel in a side-scrolling wrapper. You follow Vivi as she makes her way through a subway train filled with spirits on their way to the afterlife. Listen in as we talk about ways to tell stories, how to respectfully talk about death and existence, and creating powerful emotional moments in games.
And as always, if you played along with us this month, let us know what you thought in the comments below or on the Little Rock Games Facebook page. You can also join us on Discord to chat about the podcast, our games, and other news for the community.
