🚨CONTENT WARNING: There is a lengthy description of a psychotic episode from about 45:56 to 57:52. Nothing bad happens and no one is harmed, but there are descriptions of hallucinations and delusions🚨

AJ and Kim had the pleasure of talking to AJ Gonzalez of Official Electric (developer of RUIN: Chapter 0) about how he got started in games, how to get to the point in art and games, and why the Official Electric merch is so damn good.
