This week I'm taking a look how the narrative device of the audio diary has evolved from Gone Home to Tacoma. By adding a spatial dynamic to the phenomenon it can make the space the player is exploring feel lived in and incorporates them more into the gameworld.

If you liked Tacoma or want to talk about something in the video then leave a comment down below. I look forward to chatting with you about the interesting concepts that this game raises!
