The Real Doggins viewing one of his many awards

They make charming games, have an adorable dog, work side by side while staying happily married, and did we mention the cute dog?

Who are these fabulous guests? Why, it's Brooke and David Condolora of indie game studio Brain & Brain, of course.

We chatted with the dynamic duo about how they got started in games, struck out on their own, and possibly invented the quiet adventure genre in the process.

We also dug into a recent op-ed about narrative in games that has been making the rounds lately, and Brooke and David weighed in.
