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.

Spoilers for the full game. In this Mythic Mind Games conversation, they praise the Socratic form and time-loop intrigue while pressing where the philosophy goes soft: relativism, absolute morality, and what happens when the underworld's ruler is not the prime mover.
