Pac-Man: Circle is the one episode of Secret Level that’s truly unforgettable.
Recommended Videos While most of Amazon’s new gaming anthology TV series plays it very safe, Pac-Man: Circle takes a radical new direction. The episode sees an alien-looking man called the Swordsman freed by an ominous spherical orb called Puck. While Puck is obviously supposed to be Pac-Man, Emily Swallow’s excellent portrayal of this character sounds more like Hal 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey than any voiced version of the character we’ve seen before.
How Pac-Man: Circle was made According to Wilson, Secret Level’s writers’ room distilled the elements of Pac-Man down to single lines that appear in the episode, such as “eat or be eaten” and “you can eat them, but never their eyes.” Those serve as the basis for the tragic, mature story this episode of Secret Level tells through the basic framework of Pac-Man.
In its boldness, Pac-Man: Circle is Secret Level at its best. The series’ low points are the slower, more dialogue-filled episodes that can feel like a marketing ploy for games like New World: Aeternum or PlayStation as a brand. Episodes that lean into action or take large creative risks like Pac-Man: Circle are the most enjoyable to watch.This anthology’s oddball collection of adaptations has an eclectic feeling, but to its creators, that variety is part of Secret Level’s beauty.
