32 min - #17 - A Memoir Blue
In Episode 17, it's the first regular episode of Arcade Bookshop with video! However, video is only available if you watch via YouTube at this time. Also, Bryce and Caleb talk about whether or not interactive stories should be considered video games.

The guys dissect the metaphors and visual events of this game that has no words, names, or dialogue. It's truly a beautiful game, which the hosts considered to be sort of a visual poem in its deep action prompts and emotional animations.
