Bomb Shelter Games | 2019-2023 | Writer and Narrative Designer

Hired to craft the storyline for the metroidvania “Depths of Sanity” (PC 2022, Switch + Xbox 2024) midway into the game’s development, drafting multiple treatments based on what game elements already existed, and taking the story from a 15-page outline to the final 15-hour adventure
Wrote all cutscenes, collectable story notes/logs, side stories, item descriptions, loading screens, tutorials, character backgrounds, and more
Created a master narrative document to track and maintain note/audio log placement throughout the game
Consistently adapted the storytelling around changing game elements and design features, as well as playtesting feedback
Collaborated with artists and lead designer to better integrate the story into the gameplay, particularly when it came to the game’s multiple endings and how they would trigger
Gave feedback on visual design and animation on key narrative moments, including flashbacks that intrude on the player, working the story into background designs, and troubleshooting issues within Unity
