Freeplay: Episode 24 The Stage, The Sky & The Story

beneath-a-steel-sky-ending

Food, clothes, housing, electricity and water are a selection of items of everyday living which cost money. Society tells us that we need to buy these so called ‘essentials’ to survive.

The games industry has tapped into this idea and exploited it for their own nefarious schemes and made all gamers believe that if you want to enjoy fun, exciting and innovative games you have to hand over your cold hard cash. But, here at Freeplay we snatch your hand away from the evil retailer and explain that there are games you can play for free.

This month Dan is joined by Kris, Pete and Sam as they tread the theatrical boards with Deirdra Kiai’s The Play. They play Charles Cecil’s seminal sci-fi adventure Beneath a Steel Sky and then they discuss what makes a truly great gaming narrative.
