Talking To Ghosts

This week on the Talking to Ghosts podcast we chat with Picogram about their upcoming game Garden Story! Picogram is the solo developer, which was a fascinating look at pixel art, how to tell stories about communities, and what cozy games consider when thinking about the place of violence in a story.

You can find more information about Garden Story on the Official Website or, if you’re looking for more work from Picogram, check out picogram.co

Talking to Ghosts is recorded and produced by Michael Kurt and Wes Mueller. The new cover art was done in house by Wes Mueller! For our reviews and an archive of all our episodes, please check out our Official Website.

At Home episodes are recorded by the ever-present, still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Please wear a mask and be safe out there. We’d love to see each other in person some day.
