Narrative gaming during a pandemic Gaming provides: A safe space for emotional and ● cathartic release. Let players give outer form to ● inner fears and anxieties in a shared, mutually experienced context. Allow players to experiment with ● different, sometimes socially forbidden facets of identity.

“I do the Eshu DLC sessions because they’re fun and they make me not feel alone being in the house for a long time. My favorite part is the funny situations and conversations we get into. I love the sessions so much I don’t know what to change about them” - James Brown (16)
