Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode of Deep Listens we are joined by a special guest to talk about the hot new indie game, Undertale. We first answer some audience feedback about Until Dawn and then proceed to discuss the slow beginning of Undertale. We talk about the game's characters, how the game breaks the 4th wall, how the game deals with player agency and choice, and how the game's multiple endings shape our understanding of what games are capable of.
