MENTAL HEALTH & GAMING

 We sat down with Jess Rowlings and Matt Harrison from Next Level Collaboration to talk about how neurodiversity-affirming design is shaping the future of accessible play. From text chat and sensory settings to co-designing with communities, they highlight how small changes can open big doors for players.


Michelle Chen and Emma Losin from the Bobarista team joined us  to talk about how psychology, empathy, and storytelling come together in their cozy mobile game for good. From heartfelt conversations to healing through play, they explore how games can connect players on a deeper emotional level.
