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.

What is the artistic value of this game in particular? Where does it direct us? What is the “best” ending? • How do we rank value in sub-created worlds? • How does the game frame the relationship between art and grief? What does a healthy relationship look like? • What light can Tolkien’s Leaf by Niggle shed on the ideas raised by E33?
