This episode of G+RLS is a discussion all about whether women's roles in games have truly evolved from damsels in distress to fully fledged characters to be proud of. Featuring Emma-Jane Betts, Serena Cherry, Ashley Bardhan and Sam Loveridge.

We're joined by Hannah Flynn, Communications Director at Failbetter Games, to talk about gaming, the industry and the challenges both bring. With 12 years at Failbetter Games working on titles like Fallen London, Sunless Skies, Sunless Sea, and now Mandrake, Hannah has unique insights into the industry, RPGs, and more that she's ready to share!

Anna Koselke, Jasmine Gould-Wilson, Catherine Lewis and Sam Loveridge discuss "female" game genres, the barriers facing women playing games outside of those accepted spaces, and how for so long it's felt like we're excluded from gaming in the way it was marketed - even down to the feeling that certain consoles weren't for women at all.

G+RLS EP2 introduces our first guest! Meet Louise Blain, Creative Director at Blumhouse Games, the powerhouse horror publisher behind games like Fear the Spotlight, Crisol: Theater of Idols, Sleep Awake, and the upcoming murderous farming sim Grave Seasons. We chat about why we love horror, how Louise got into gaming, and bridging the gap between journalism and game dev.

Let Sam, Serena, Ashley, and Emma-Jane introduce you to the world of G+RLS, where we discuss what exactly the word Gamer even means, and what got us all into games in the first place.
