Gamer Otto.

I wiped the flour off my square orange face and sighed with relief. Just as I reached for my jacket, a furious tapping echoed from the gaming channel track. A high-pitched voice shouted that my three-hour boss fight replay was utterly unwatchable.

Next episode after this week’s adventure. No spoilers.

A NOTE ABOUT OUR MAIN CHARACTER

He’s not an expert.
That’s the point.

Otto is the little orange play button with more ideas than experience. Some weeks he’s a chef. Some weeks he’s a gamer. Every week, he discovers that making a good video is mostly about noticing what matters.

These are fictional adventures with real things to try: clearer cuts, better openings, sound that helps, and stories people can follow. You don’t need fancy gear. Curiosity will do.
