🎮 Episode 3 – Games We Played Instead of Going to Therapy

We came for cozy vibes and side quests, and instead got an existential crisis. This week, we’re unpacking the emotional storytelling moments in video games that hit way harder than expected — and the ones we keep going back to when life is a little too much.

Whether it’s a touching found family arc, a character that mirrors your real-life mess, or a farming sim that lets you dissociate in peace — we see you.

🧠 In this episode:

▪️ “I Thought This Was Just a Game” – the moments that broke us

▪️ “Character Connection” – characters we recognized before the devs wrote them that way

▪️ “Emotional Support Game” – the games we return to for comfort and escape
