Bio
Stuck between the grime and terror of Silent Hill 3 and the grand romance of Final Fantasy X, Grace Benfell writes about fighting gods, electronic dysphorias, and virtual environmentalism. Much of her life has been wasted contemplating Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3, Judy Álvarez from Cyberpunk 2077, Ciri from The Witcher, and many other troubled, religious women. She co-edits The Imaginary Engine Review, co-hosts the Survival Horror podcast The Safe Room, and has bylines at GameSpot, Paste, Edge Magazine, Vice, [lock-on], and many more. She is the author of the forthcoming book Killing Our Gods: Essays On Religion, Christianity, And Video Games.
