Good Story Guild has been producing award-winning audio dramas since 2023. Now they're gearing up to release their first game, Cat Secretary. In the game, your fluffy little clerical cat resets the router, fills the coffee maker, and solves the deeper conspiracies destroying their company. All with full voice acting and a dedicated meow button

Matt & Gen are joined by Rachel Music, Good Story Guild's Co-Founder and Head of Audio, to discuss a cute title and concept becoming a full game experience, how indie gamemaking differs from indie filmmaking, and just how many sounds we expect in games once you dig into it. Rachel also demonstrates a bit of the voiceover recording process by directing a live recording session with Gen!

Check out the demo and wishlist Cat Secretary on Steam
