I created this piece for one of my favorite humans, @shinylikethesun . You never fail to make me smile and I’m so glad I get to call you a friend. Cheers to many more adventures ☺️💛
When a television screenwriter who loves puzzles and immersive experiences turns her attention to creating a boxed puzzle game, the result is beguiling and thoroughly engrossing. The Morrison Game Factory has a deeply intimate and emotional story that pulled at my heartstrings while still engaging my puzzle brain.
Screenwriter Lauren Bello created The Morrison Game Factory as puzzle challenge during the pandemic. It would have remained a small one-off game played only by her friends until Rita Orlov of PostCurious played it. She fell in love with the game, and worked with Lauren to produce the game under the PostCurious brand.
We originally interviewed Rita of PostCurious on REPOD S2E7 when her award winning game Light in the Mist had just come out. Since then, PostCurious has continually produced hit after hit, including the charming puzzle-focused Ministry of Lost Things series, along with longer epics like Emerald Echoes and Threads of Fate, which is a remake of the first game that Rita became known for.
PostCurious games are impeccably produced. All the games have authentic-feeling props, heavyweight paper, and a beautiful artistic flair. The puzzles are intriguing, and range from light and playful to complex and layered. The storylines are always interesting and tie into the gameplay.
Rita Orlov and Lauren Bello talk about their collaboration. We also spend some time dissecting all the new PostCurious games to hit the market since we last had Rita on Reality Escape Pod.
I really enjoyed learning about Lauren’s writing process, especially when she described it as a series of waveforms, layering the different plots, storylines, and vibe that she’s trying to achieve.

Learned some decorative soldering techniques at @stainedglassclasses last weekend, and continuing to explore copper patina with this fun little experiment full of weird copper foil work!
