Heaven Will Be Mine's setting and core conceit (that of the relationships that form between pilots as they operate their ship-selves in the vastness of space) draw, pretty explicitly, from elements of the mecha genre. But what's most fascinating, perhaps, is it's interpretation of the "Newtype."

I (Alasdair) had intended to play "We Know the Devil" (also by Worst Girl Games) before we recorded Ep. 1. But having finished it now, I can safely say it makes a great companion piece to "Heaven Will Be Mine": store.steampowered.com/app/435300/W...

As preparation for Ep. 1, we read, watched, and listened to a wealth of critique, analysis, and fan theory of Heaven Will Be Mine, including Niamh Timmons' fantastic essay, "Gravity = Culture: Trans Liberatory Potentials and Limitations in [HWBM]": gamestudies.org/2404/article...

We're diving right in with a discussion on New Age spirituality, Cold War tensions, and ongoing imperial projects as they relate to the visual novel Heaven Will Be Mine.

If you're a speculative fiction fan (a la Gundam, Star Trek, etc.), this one's for you!

Please direct your attention towards Ep 1: Baby's (Second) Visual Novel, in which we center Heaven Will Be Mine—a 2018 visual novel developed by Worst Girl Games—and discuss the Cold War, genocide, and furries.
