About Katie Schutze

A born-and-bred Texan, Katie's been overthinking fiction since she could pick up a TV remote. She's very excited to finally put that English degree of hers to use. Someday, her inane ramblings about the parallels between Homer's Odyssey and The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie  will be validated.

Favorite Games

Katie's favorite game of all time is Rune Factory 4, and her favorite story in gaming is Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. She was inordinately thrilled when both of these were ported to the Nintendo Switch.

Favorite Console

Katie's Nintendo 3DS has given her the most playtime out of any console she's ever owned, and she'll still vouch that it's got some of the best JRPGs of all time.

Industry Focus

Katie has a particular fondness for JRPGs due to their storytelling potential, but she's happy to write on most things about the gaming industry in general.
