Passage: Less a video game than a poignant rumination on mortality

John Moe May 18, 2011

One of the games we talk about on our May 19th show is Passage. I was glad that our guest, John Sharp, brought it up because I think it’s one of the most artistically fascinating games I’ve ever come across. In the game, you start as a person on the left side of the screen. You move left to right through different obstacles. Along the way you come across another character who can stay with for a while. I don’t want to give away too much of what happens but it’s really pretty beautiful and sad and moving. You can play it by going here.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
