Gamecast: Don't Starve and Reverence

Listen in to our conversation about the survival game _Don’t Starve_. While _Don’t Starve_ certainly might come across as a leisure game with its cute style and cynical mini monologues, there is much more to it. The game tests your creativity and forces you to think outside the box about where to find resources. You have to think again about how one person can affect the world and the impact of your actions. To check out how all of it is presented within the game and how it ties to Ian Bogost, click play! http://eng181f16.davidmorgen.org/
