Happy October and Devtober! This week, Alyssa talks about Rakuen created by Laura Shigihara! Thank you Hidden Pixels Podcast for the recommendation! This game tells the story of a hospitalized Boy who comes to terms with his own story by traveling with his Mom to a beautiful fantasy world; ultimately helping his fellow patients find closure by walking a mile in their shoes.

This episode is part one, so Alyssa will focus on the first half of the game! Stay tuned next week for part 2 of Rakuen to hear about Alyssa's take on the ending.
