TRAILBLAZER<\/strong> (2025)
NARRATIVE DESIGN & WRITING<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally called ‘Mrs Benz’, this VR experience dives into the perspective of a courageous woman who invested her reputation and inheritance in her husband, Karl Benz, and his \u2018horseless carriage\u2019 invention. Produced by Singer Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a triumphant tour from Venice Immersive via SXSW and Sheffield Doc festival all the way to Cannes, Bertha Benz traveled further than she could’ve ever imagined in her own life! Having been involved right at the start of development was a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A PLAGUE TALE: REQUIEM<\/strong> (2022)
WRITER, LEVEL DESIGN SUPPORT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France, 1349. Young siblings Amicia (14) and Hugo (8) try to deal with Hugo\u2019s involuntary supernatural powers that bring death and destruction through a flood of devouring rats. Forced to flee, the siblings place their hopes in a prophesized island that may hold the key to saving Hugo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stealth action adventure game, produced by Asobo Studios, boasts emotional storytelling and deep dives into real history and supernatural lore. Apart from writing, I was able to support level and in-game event design, as well as help out with mocap casting and recording. Nominated for ‘best narrative’ and ‘best game’ at The Game Awards, BAFTA and French Game Awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ALT-FREQUENCIES<\/strong> (2020)
NARRATIVE AND GAME DESIGN, VOICE DIRECTOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dystopian audio game is set within a three-minute time loop, the same stretch of Monday repeating over and over – but you can influence the next loop. By recording and broadcasting snippets of various radio stations, you get to uncover a conspiracy. A game by Accidental Queens, supported by ARTE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casting and directing over 50 actors in 3 languages and two countries was such an experience. This small but ambitious game was loved and awarded by many, and will always have a special place in my heart. Winning a French Game Award for ‘Strongest Social Theme’ was the icing on the dystopian cake. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CRIMINAL MINDS, THE MOBILE GAME<\/strong> (2018)
NARRATIVE DESIGN & WRITING, CO-CREATIVE DIRECTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminal Minds, the mobile game is a direct spin-off of the successful CBS tv-series with the same name.\u00a0The game has the same main\u00a0\u00a0Behavioral Analysis Unit team as the series and shows 6 different exciting cases, as well as one chilling overarching story.

Working with CBS and an additional production company to keep everything canon with the series led the original creative director to step down from this project, but the lead game designer and me took over and delivered a high quality game within the deadline. I’ll always be proud of this achievement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
