Conversations about games, community, and the reasons we play. Kritiqal Care is a monthly interview show highlighting the breadth of the games community. Nathalie is joined by tabletop writers, video game designers, pixel artists, streamers, YouTube critics, and others from all corners of the medium to explore games as personal, creative, and political. These are rough times, but games can help us feel less alone through it all.
