Student assignment text: “It also must be acknowledged that what I assume must have been Professor Braithwaite’s goal, to make me cry several times playing a video game, was well and truly achieved. In fact I think my first experiences of playing both this and Unpacking will likely stick with me for a long time as examples of why games are more than just ‘silly past times’, but instead outlets for a wide arrange of emotions that tell some of the most incredible stories.”

Achievement unlocked! ❤️ my games class and my games students; I only make them cry for really good reasons.
