More Info

You play as a young woman named Marie. You and your housemates had a dinner party last night and you can’t seem to remember everything that happened. You have an enigmatic phone message about Mr Right and it seems that Mr Right might not be your boyfriend! Talk to your housemates to find out who Mr Right is and listen to their opinions about your love life. Choose whether or not to listen to your friends, follow your heart, follow your mind or a little of everything.

For this implementation, the story was written in a spreadsheet and can be switched out for another story completely. That is, the code is entirely independent on the story being told. The syntax requires the spreadsheet to specify the conditions for which each passage of text is valid based on what the player has “remembered” and which passages have already been seen by the player. This means that if desired, the code framework can be used to create an entirely different game about different people and different mysteries.

Sole Developer

Imogen 5000 is a bored AI alarm system that has caught you sneaking in to the mansion she protects. Instead of handing you over to the police, she decides to play a game with you. She turns out all the lights in the mansion and tells you clues about the other rooms in the house that you can get to.

Navigate rooms by entering the first letter of a neighbouring room you want to go to and try to find the jewels and the exit before the police arrive.

Back to the First Date

Game designer, writer

The game was made for Molyjam 2013 and is based on the Peter Molyneux quote: “I wish I had some time machine and could go back two weeks. You live by your mistakes, for sure.”

Two time travellers, Sofia and Rajar, met at a Doctor Who convention and decided to go on a first date. Sofia subscribes to the vehicle-based mode of time travel (as seen in “Back to the Future”), while Rajar subscribes to the closed-loop model (as seen in “Hot Tub Time Machine”). Their first date didn’t go as planned, since they argued over everything from time travel theory to who pays the bill.

Two weeks later, both of them decide that they can help the date go more smoothly. Help each of them travel back in time to attempt to fix what went wrong so they are not alone in the present. Can you help these two scientists see eye to eye and live happily ever after?

Thimbleweed Park

Gameplay programmer, game designer, producer, event coordination, customer support.

In a town like Thimbleweed Park a dead body is the least of your problems.

A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes… you’ve never visited a place like this before.

Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this rundown, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched.

  • Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want?
  • What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20 year old factory fire that he’s not saying?
  • Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again?
  • Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being?
  • Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family?
  • And most importantly: how come no one cares about that dead body?
