Summary

We're joined by Naomi Clark (NYU Game Center, Consentacle, A Game Design Vocabulary ) and Frank Lantz (Q-UP, Universal Paperclips, also NYU Game Center) to discuss Corrypt, a totally normal block-moving game where nothing weird happens. It's the fifth installment of All Systems Brough, our yearlong special series exploring the playable arcana of Michael Brough.
