Mythic Mind Games is a conversation about video games as secondary worlds. We look at story, design, and the moral imagination of play: what games train us to love, fear, hope for, and become. This is not a review show and not a strategy guide. Episodes sit with particular games and ask what they are doing to the soul. Grief, home, identity, freedom, and wonder show up here as often as bosses and endings. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., alongside friends from the Fellowship.

Mythic Dawn cultists steal the amulet into Mankar Camoran's Paradise; the Hero of Kvatch closes gates, gathers the ritual, and returns the amulet so Martin can become the Avatar of Akatosh. In this Elder Scrolls & Philosophy story overview, Dr. Andrew Snyder traces the path to Champion of Cyrodiil, and the sacrifice that seals the gates of Oblivion before the hero fades toward whatever Sheogorath knows next.
