00:00So what was kind of your relationship with the games before this?

00:03I played a bit of the first game in lockdown, and I got really scared.

00:08I got really scared and upset, and I couldn't keep playing.

00:11So of course I then had to completely immerse myself in the world.

00:15But that's just really effective storytelling.

00:17The way that this game connects you to its characters and the stakes and the horror of it all,

00:21I thought was brilliant.

00:23So I was really excited to jump into season two.

00:27I haven't played the second game still.

00:28I was told not to. I was explicitly told not to.

00:31So I don't feel bad about it.

00:33Why was that? Why were you told not to?

00:34I think reasons I can't say. I don't know.

00:40I'm so sorry.

00:41I mean, and if the show and the game, I mean, very dark, very kind of grueling.

00:46How did you kind of get in and out of that?

00:50Well, the beautiful thing about the set environment that we were in is that it was so warm and welcoming and friendly

00:56that when things got really heavy or intense, it was just you felt so safe and cared for.

01:02I think in the past, when I was younger, I would have tried to stay in it as long as possible,

01:06and I don't think that's totally sustainable, at least for me.

01:09And this was the first time working with people who were laughing and joking in between setups

01:14and then can lock in, can focus, and it really does just allow you to access something

01:19because you feel so safe.

01:21Yeah.

01:21And how do you feel like this season compares to the first?

01:24It's bigger.

01:25It's big.

01:27Yeah, that's it.

01:29I don't know what else I could say.

01:30I'm so sorry.

01:31The scale of it is, wow, and it's a lot more of all the good of the first season.

01:36Yeah.

01:37Thank you so much.

01:38Great to meet you.

01:39You too.
