In this episode, we’re joined by Sister Allison Gliot (Daughters of St. Paul) to explore a Catholic perspective on video games from discernment of which games to play to how they impact our habits. In the second half of the episode, we turn to a Catholic reflection on the game "What Remains of Edith Finch", examining its themes of memento mori, death, memory, family, the body of Christ, and more through the lens of our Catholic faith.
