On the surface, Rayman is just another 2D platformer from the 1990s.

However, in this episode, we dig into the subtle and detailed worldbuilding that creates a lush and varied setting for the game!

The lesson here is that those little details make a difference. Telling a story with a complex plot and layered characters might still fall flat if it feels like that action is happening in a void.

Plus, we talk about some additional storytelling elements in games, including Kirby's Adventure, the Mega Man series, Half-Life, Wing Commander, and Descent: Freespace!
