Following the hugely successful and only slightly uproarious Episode 1, the second in Overlap's pilot season of live events investigating new and forgotten forms of storytelling, 'The Secret Agent', will take place at Brezza in Sheffield, UK on Tuesday October 11th from 7.30pm.

For Episode two we're delighted to welcome Robot/Lizard's lead designer Russell Stearman, who'll be guiding us through the possibilities of videogame narratives. What kinds of roles do we play when we game? How rich are the decisions we get to make? Can we learn to let go of our ego in the game world? Can losing be fun? We’ll be looking at examples of desperate, hilarious and classic dilemmas and decisions from films, books and real life as well as classic games including Uncharted and Indiana Jones' Lucasarts adventures as we explore the different ways games can engage us and what happens when the player is given control of the story.
