In this episode we share our thoughts on This War of Mine both as a game and as a tool to raise an important issue. We then use that as a jumping off point to look at games with darker or more problematic themes in general. If games use problematic themes is it the designer's responsibility to ensure it is handled with care or are all themes fair game for any and all titles? Find out what we think and join in the conversation.   

Listener Questions:  This episode we think there are many talking points raised so we would love to hear your thoughts on the main topic.   Also we had that great email in from Kendall who will be in episode 5, let us know, do you agree with his statement on difficulty in solo games?
