Save Storytelling from the Bland
MAC is a one-day online conference for people building the future of interactive storytelling across games, media and emerging tech.
Online only - Wednesday 20 May 2026 - midday (UK time)
New speaker announced:
Yoko Taro – Game Writer and Director
What happens when a creator chooses masks over faces, anti-logic over explanations, and cynicism over inspiration? In this special film, we peel back the layers of a mind that treats game design as a dialogue between an arrogant creator and a cynical otaku.
Special Film: The Whys and Wherefores of Yoko Taro
Yoko Taro is a visionary director and writer known for exploring the darker, often insane, motivations of humanity. In this special film for MAC, he moves between sincerity and playful sabotage to explore why stories hurt and why games lie.
