About - Rachel Heleva: Rachel Heleva is an experienced writer, student of ludology, and destroyer of keyboards. She has worked for years as a literary editor, has presented her research at academic conferences, and is a historian of her favorite games. She approaches games with a design-oriented mindset and deconstructive approach, seeking to understand how the disparate elements of a game contribute to its structure. Primarily, she is concerned with narrative whether it is in-game or concerning a game's players or creators. While narrative-driven games and RPGs are her focus, like a magpie she plays and writes on anything that catches her eye.
