As a psychologist who has held the hand of many patients in their final days, I understand how video games can play such a valuable role in our understanding of death, dying, and grief.
Video games are uniquely helpful for thinking about death. They'll hold us by the waist as we gaze into the abyss, without letting us fall in

I chatted with the legit expert on "games and death" and learned why and how the hobby teaches us to process where we're all heading
Games about death improve our lives

Which game had such a powerful story that it stuck with you long after the game was over?

I'm building a toolkit for small teams who want richer story worlds without the burnout. Devs, what do you wish existed in your workflow? If you could get help with game narratives, what type of help would you want most?

I have always loved Oxenfree so it was so hard to be "evil Alex." This was truly the darkest timeline.

Copycat truly had the potential to be a fantastic game but, sadly, the ending left me a bit disappointed. The message was likely not what the devs intended it to be, but it's still a game worth playing, in my humble opinion #indiegame #gaming

In Firewatch, the story of Henry and Julia and having to cope with her diagnosis of dementia is the story within the story. It's true heartbreak.

Feels like I waste a whole day just editing music levels in my videos. Music too loud, bring it down. Now it's too quiet, bring it up again. Hmm, you can't hear it unless you wear earphones. Now it's too loud in the earphones. It's a never ending struggle.

I didn't realize #therapistsky was a thing. It would be nice to connect with fellow therapists. 💜

Game devs:
Great games elicit emotions in players by allowing them to walk in someone else’s shoes. How does your game's story or mechanics foster empathy and understanding?
