About This Episode
Every week we invite a special guest to talk with us about life, games, and belief. This week, Kacper Szymczak from Phantom Doctrine joins Drew to talk about this extremely ambitious tactical game based in the cold war era. The discussion turns to Kacper’s time growing up in Poland, his uncertainty of the existence of God, and on the responsibility of video games to do more than just entertain.
