Projects

Triage

Triage is a first person narrative game centered around an ethical dilemma.

I led the design of a branching dialogue and crafting system that puts moral decision-making at the heart of gameplay.

Ratcliff Estate

Role: Systems Designer

This is a stealth-strategy game about robbing graves and avoiding a monster.

With a heavy focus on player feedback, visibility, and tension, this project tested my ability to tune both mechanics and atmosphere under tight development restraints.

This solo class project is a puzzle game for mobile, developed in Unity.
