Episode 79: Xiri

Xiri (he/him) is the creator of the sublime BL visual novel series, HITME, among other games exploring queer relationships and the end of the world. He took some time away from the upcoming HITM3 to chat with me about transitioning from music videos to games, how film influences his work, and a world where everybody is gay.

You can learn more about Xiri’s games on itch, and follow him on cohost @akaxiri.
