We’re breaking from our usual format for a special one-off episode! I chat with Sanatorium: A Mental Asylum Simulator creators Sebastian Riedi and Fabian Hunziker about their new card-based indie game set in a 1920s mental asylum and now available on Steam! Hope you'll tune in for my deep dive in how they handled such a sensitive topic, the real history that inspired it, and what’s next for these first-time devs.
