Episode 12: Child of Light and Coming of Age Stories

Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode of Deep Listens we discuss Child of Light and go over the game's unique combat system, story, and aesthetic. We also discuss why coming of age stories are so ubiquitous in games. Join us as we once again stare into the abyss of Billy's obsession with grinding... and the abyss stares back.
