Welcome to the first episode of dotzip! A show about big games (video AND tabletop) in small packages.

Today we're talking about Birth by Madison Karrh! A game about loneliness, making friends, and appreciating the unique parts of all of us that make up the whole person. And also puzzles. Lots of little puzzles.

Buy Birth on Steam, Switch or Xbox! And check out Madison Karrh's other projects!
