I don't write essays about controversy in culture in media. But this essay will cover the use of music as a component of storytelling in other media, and therefore uses the 2026 videogame Mixtape as a starting point. Also covered are the games The Artful Escape (2021) and Unbeatable (2025), with light discussion regarding story and themes, as a part of a greater revelation.
