Aubrey Isaacman on intimacy and the physicality of game controllers
For episode 7 of Kritiqal Care, Aubrey Isaacman (she/her; they/them) comes on to discuss how her games approach intimacy and emphasize player emotion. She has worked on projects ranging from the card game Intimacy to the VR experience everybody’s sad, and is currently pursing an MFA in Games & Interactive Media at the University of Southern California.
