Let's Talk About Storytelling In Games! - Play To Win Podcast Ep. 51

On Episode 51 of the Play To Win Podcast, Tyler and Keiran are joined by Ellie (creator of the Late to the Game podcast and blog) to talk all about storytelling in games. From the challenges that narrative games face to what makes gaming a unique medium for stories, the group has a fun and insightful conversation on the topic. *Keiran was originally on the episode, but due to technical issues his recording was lost. As such, the episode has been edited so that the conversation still makes sense* Thank you so much to Ellie for joining us for this episode! Please follow her and check out her content below!
