A week or so ago, the New York Videogame Critics Circle sent a few of its core members to the Pax East conference in Boston. Reporter John Azzilonna and videographer Victor Kalogiannis came back with a deep story about SuperGiant Games‘ upcoming Pyre, to be released in 2017.

SuperGiant’s offerings, which have won various New York Game Awards over the years, have always been distinguished by stirring narrative. But perhaps none has had the complex, interactive script and dialogue that you’ll encounter in Pyre. In this exclusive interview from the floor of Pax East, John Azzilonna mind melds with SuperGiant’s talented Greg Kasavin.
