Description

A very pleasant talk with narrative designer Ben Gelinas on the beauty of writing small details for characters in games from AAA like Mass Effect 3 to small indie visual novels like Speed Dating for Ghosts. We also talk about collecting physical games and dwell into a whole forest of obscure titles.
