Tristan and Oliver are once again joined by very special guest Ioana-Iulia Cazacu, as they open the wonderful box of wonders that is Witch Beam’s Unpacking to unpack it into these three bits:

Impactful Representation - The importance and effectiveness of a story with queer representation, being told in a game that leaves much to the player’s own interpretation
Personal Touch - Freedom of choice in a puzzle game, and the emergent narratives it creates in a story driven context
Hyper-nostalgia - Creating longing for a past as we remember it rather than how it was, through the use of level aesthetics and design
