Interactive fiction games with immersive, character-driven storytelling.
I create text-based interactive fiction games that feature:
- Choice-based gameplay in which your decisions drive the story forward.
- Original illustrations in traditional media.
- Player character customization, with a focus on roleplaying.
- Diverse casts of unique characters, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC representation.
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.
