David Turner explores the blurry line between fictional games and believable storytelling through podcasts. His blog post examines how creators like Ross Sutherland craft entirely fake narratives—such as a non-existent SNES game—presented with straight-faced realism that leaves audiences questioning what’s real.

Turner reflects on his own experience creating a fictional 1989 game, Blue Prince, which some readers mistakenly believed was real. He intended it as satire but invested too much in visuals, causing confusion. While inspired by actual titles like Karateka and influenced by interactive fiction, his work underscores how easily digital media can blur truth and art.

Listeners often struggle to distinguish joke content from genuine projects, especially in audio formats where tone and context are less clear. Turner draws parallels to Segagaga, a real Dreamcast game initially mistaken for a joke. These misinterpretations reveal broader questions about creativity, presentation, and audience perception in indie gaming and podcasting today.
