Nine Lives

Nine Lives is a game featuring an unreliable narrator as the player character. It was developed by a team of three as the final project for MIT's CMS.612 (Writing for Video Games). The game is a point-and-click adventure game in which the player is tasked with pointing out contradictions in the player character's description of the world. Doing so causes the world to revise itself and allows the player to advance further in the game.

Blind Eye

Blind Eye was a game I personally developed as a digital minute mystery. The game was the first of three projects for MIT's CMS.612 (Writing for Video Games). The game is a point-and-click adventure game in which you take on the role of a character who has lost his glasses in a storm. You must use non-visual clues to identify your surroundings and figure out exactly where you are.

Synthetic Soul

Synthetic Soul was a game I personally developed to experiment with a new dialogue mechanic. The game was the second of three projects for MIT's CMS.612 (Writing for Video Games). The game is a text -based adventure in which you play as a robot attempting to prove to the dark boatsman Charon that you are a human and deserve access to the afterlife. My goal was to create a game where the mechanics and fiction of the game encouraged the player to only choose dialogue options that were relevant to the conversation.
