À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE

In this episode Josh and Bryan are talking about Pyre developed by Supergiant Games and released in 2017 for PC, Mac, Linux, and PlayStation 4. Pyre is considered by some to be Supergiant’s most experimental and heartfelt title, a mystical mix of visual novel and ritualistic sport. From the creators of Bastion, Transistor, and Hades, Pyre stands apart for its boldness a “mournful revolution” where victory means saying goodbye to a beloved comrade, and every loss fuels the greater cause of rebellion. With lush art by Jen Zee, music and sound by Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett, and the powerful writing of Greg Kasavin, Pyre delivers a story of loss and revolution. Join us as we resurrect this lost episode of Pixelated Playgrounds to discuss literacy as rebellion, the beauty of bittersweet freedom, and why even in defeat, there’s purpose in pressing onward.
