For this first episode of series 2, Jordan invites her good friend Chella Ramanan to talk about her new game Before I Forget, which tells the story of a woman with dementia. They discuss the main characters—Indian cosmologist Sunita and her pianist husband Dylan—and how Chella wrote mental illness into the game, which may well teach you something you didn’t know about what having dementia is really like.
This episode contains discussion of some key moments from the game, which some listeners may want to save for after they’ve played it, but avoids spoiling the central mystery of the story.
Chella mentions the film Still Alice and the novel Elizabeth is Missing.
