Personal Jam: Netherworld

Tick tock. Time is running out.

Netherworld is an interactive story in the vein of the classic “Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” games where death is lurking around every corner. This little project came about as part of a personal challenge that I set for myself back in 2020. Using the Twine tool, I wanted to create a fully playable interactive story in the span of only a week - or seven full days. The result was a story approximately 14.558 words in length (a good 32 pages) that included several endings and which utilized a basic time limit as one of its game mechanics. 

The writing style is a mix of absurdist and dark comedy with a little bit of classic “whodunit” mystery thrown in for good measure.

Internship 2018-19: Midnight Girl

Midnight Girl is a 2D point-and-click adventure game, developed by the Copenhaged-based game studio Italic. The game takes place in France during the Sixties. The story, mood, and style of the game are inspired by the city of Paris, Belgian comics and heist films from the Sixties. The game focuses on story, atmosphere and character development.
 

My role
I was an intern at Italic for 5 months in connection with my studies, and was subsequently hired as a part-time student worker for an additional 5 months. During my time at the studio, I assisted with setting up levels in Unity, implementing dialogue and sound, and testing and balancing. I also worked with the lead level designer in designing and adjusting the puzzles and flow of each level. Finally, I assisted with the creation of cinematic sequences for the game, using Unity Timeline.
 
The game was released in autumn 2023 and is available on mobile, PC, MacOS, and console. Here is a link to the Steam page.
