Description

What if the point of a game wasn’t to win, but to question why we play at all? In this episode, we explore the thought-provoking and unconventional video game You, a critical gameplay experience that flips traditional gaming conventions on their head. Set in a platformer world where words shape your path, players guide the character “You” through a surreal landscape of puzzles and poetic fragments. But this isn’t your average platformer—You challenges players to seek meaning in its absurdity, pushing them to create a poem rather than pursue a victory. Is it a critique of gaming culture, an artistic experiment, or a bit of both? Join us as we dive into this fascinating game that asks: What if there’s no ‘winning’—just playing and interpreting? Whether you’re a gamer, an artist, or a curious thinker, this episode invites you to see games in a whole new light.
