Why people play games that scare them (Ashley Bardhan) - Audio Edition (Patreon)

[This is the audio edition. Full episode notes and comments are available on the video post at patreon.com/postgames]

Sure, spooky season is over. But listeners, the scary season has just begun at Post Games. To prepare you, I have invited one of my favorite horror critics, Ashley Bardhan, to explain the appeal of playing horror games – and how they might make your life less scary.

This is one of my favorite (and most surprising) conversations yet!

Ohhhhh videos!
