Episode 28 - Interview with Endellion of Zorkie Studios: Encouraging Players to Make Ethical Decisions
Back in Episode 24, we played several game demos during Steam Next Fest. One of those demos was “Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced,” a dystopian visual novel from Zorkie Studios with a surprising premise — what if you had the ability to approve or decline someone’s gender-affirming care?
That’s an oversimplification of the game’s narrative, but QDRP (as it’s affectionately called) is a game that’s queer through and through — and this week, I have Endellion, one of two developers making the game, here for an interview!
Endellion discusses their favourite games, what inspired QDRP’s story, how they’re designing a grim and futuristic world, and even expands the visual novel genre!
Plus, I have all the recent headlines, including the Zelda movie release date, how layoffs impacted a very popular (and recent) queer game, new accessibility tags on digital game storefronts, and the tariffs’ effect on the Nintendo Switch 2.
