    Goldhallow Inn is a witty and imaginative exploration of identity through the eyes of an NPC in a video game. With a blend of humor and heart, Nelson cleverly captures the moment when a character breaks free from her programming. A fun, relatable, and surprisingly deep adventure!

    The Secret Lives of Non-Player Characters! I laughed out loud several times, and I don't especially consider myself a gamer. It's a delightful "what if" premise the writer has spun into a story of agency and self-determination. Recognizable personalities dropped in a world familiar and entertaining to a wider audience. Well done.

    As someone who's spent way too much time playing games like the one described here in this very funny 10-minute, much of this rang true and brought a smile to my face and several laughs throughout. Even if you're not a gamer, however, I think you're going to enjoy the surprising exploration of identity that happens as the play progresses. There's something to be said for "NPC's" taking charge of their own identity in this day and age, I think, but beyond that, enjoy the adventure of this play!
