Conatus Games
Welcome! My name is Ed. I'm a professor of philosophy, father, and lifelong gamer. This channel focuses on survival and survival horror, especially The Long Dark. I'm interested in making longplays, guides, highlights, and video essays.
I love thinking with others about the philosophical dimensions of gaming, including narrative, mechanics, and phenomenology. If you have suggestions for content you would like to see, or if you have any philosophical topics you'd like to discuss, please leave me a comment!
