Lamp Post Projects logo: an antique street lamp with light inside it.

Interactive fiction games with immersive, character-driven storytelling.

Lamp Post Projects is named after the lamp post Lucy Pevensie encounters when she first enters Narnia in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis. For me, this lamp post symbolizes the feeling of standing on the threshold of a magical world of unknown possibilities. I aim to capture this childlike sense of wonder and mystery and bring it into modern, progressive games for adults and teens.

Poster with title 'The Secrets of Sylvan Gardens' in fancy dark purple script with a circular logo of a brown acorn. Four portraits of the main characters inside oval frames are imposed over a watercolor painting of a formal garden promenade.

When you find yourself sleepwalking in the lush ornamental gardens of the Sylvan Villa, you must discover how to break the thrall of a mysterious trance.

You will be aided in your journey by the gardens' keepers: a gardener, a botanist, a librarian, and an enigmatic hermit. Form bonds of friendship or pursue a slow-burn romance as you roleplay, helping these companions with quests that draw you deeper into their individual stories.

Illustrated with original watercolor paintings and fully scored by an award-winning classical composer, The Secrets of Sylvan Gardens will transport you into an original cozy fantasy setting inspired by Italian Renaissance gardens and Greek mythology.

Poster with title 'Fantasy Opera: Mischief at the Masquerade'

Teatro della Fantasia is the premier opera house in the fantastical city of Lyra. The artists are hard at work preparing for opening night of the season. This annual event marks the beginning of Carnival, a time of masquerades — and, invariably, mischief.

You're a private investigator who has been hired to ensure the show goes off without a hitch. Will you uncover the devious plot that threatens opening night? You must, or you won't get the chance to dance with someone special at the masquerade ball!

This humorous, character-driven roleplaying game illustrated with pastel drawings evokes the atmosphere of 17th century Venice in an original cozy fantasy setting populated by elves, tieflings, bugbears, and gnomes.

Poster with title 'The Path of Totality'

Journey through forest glen and over windswept moor to an ancient stone circle, where a goddess will grant blessings during the total solar eclipse.

Play as a pilgrim, adventurer, or astronomer in this cozy fantasy adventure inspired by the landscapes and folklore of the Dartmoor and the Southwest of England.
