Welcome to PlayDead, the first and only podcast that looks exclusively at death in video games! Hosted by Gabby DaRienzo, PlayDead explores the different ways that death is used in video games and the meanings it has for both players and developers.

In this week’s episode, Gabby is joined by Kara Stone, the independent game developer and artist behind Sext Adventure, Medication Meditation, and Techno Tarot. They talk about Kara’s upcoming game Ritual of the Moon and discuss the way subjects like suicide and self-harm are treated in game development.
