In this episode, I sit down with Athens-based artist and game designer Kiriaki Goni to discuss Telling the Bees, her in-development game about a Bee-Seeker navigating a near-future Aegean archipelago in ecological collapse.

We cover: the 18-year-old hike where a stranger gifted her a woven bee basket; the anthropological fieldwork underpinning her character design; the bee waggle dance as a gameplay mechanic; and what it means to build a game that thinks like a hive.
