Off the Shelf is an interview format where we bring a guest on the show to talk about the following scenario: “Imagine you have a library full of books that represent to you the greatest video game narratives. If I were to pull 5 books at random off of those shelves, what would I find? How did each book earn a spot on your shelf?”
This week, I interview Dan from The Greatest Story Ever Played podcast. I highly recommend you check out his full podcast here. Also, here are the TGSEP episodes that cover each game we discuss:
