A collection of interactive podcasts about real people’s

uncomfortable sexual experiences, “Normal-Bad Sex” unites spoken history with video games. The series creates a space for unconventional and honest storytelling by using real interview audio and mini games that highlight the speaker’s feelings.


Story 1 (“Lion”) touches on themes of boundaries and people-pleasing, as our hero fumbles her way through an unfortunate threesome.


Story 2 (Mary-Jane) explores aging and personal power, as told by a 73 year old New Yorker who reflects on intimacy at each decade of her life.
