Current Project

A talk beneath the tree

Wildly branching visual novel. 20 endings. 20 epilogues. Coming to Steam June 5, 2026

Saint of Mazes; Age of Dusk

An isometric fantasy game about a journey through forests, ruins, and mazes.

Features in depth converasations with party members, hand-illustrated maps, and music blending accoustic and synthesized elements.

There's also an associated conlang, docmented [here], that adds some flavour to Elven culture.

Interactive Fiction

Flight From Meridian

A choice-based interactive story about three fugitives with a clunky time machine fleeing the intertemporal police.

Multiple endings.

Island in the Storm

This was the proof of concept game for my now-unmaintained parser game engine project, IntFicPy.

If you're not on Windows, or don't prefer to run unknown binaries, and you know your way around Python, you can try that link marked "Python file". Download it, pull the intficpy repo, checkout the "1.0" release, install pyqt5 in that environment, and put the game file to where it can do relative imports from the repo.

If you can't guess from the convolutedness of it, that was never an intended release vector. But if you'd like to use it, you may.

Assuming you can get it running, you'll find a 2-3 hour throwback parser game about escaping a cursed island.

It's one of my favourite things I've ever made, and I hope you enjoy it.

The Ruin of Johnson's Ave

Writer: Thompson Lester

Illustrator/Programmer: Me

Built in 48 hours

A pilgrim searches a ruined place, alone.

Mouse-over to examine. This is the main mechanic that progresses the plot. Your character is trying to figure out where he is, and descriptions of things will change as he gains new information.

Marbury & 3rd

Illustrator: BAPModeler

Lead Programmer: Saarth Rajan

Music/Writing: Me

Built in 48 hours

A mystery suspense visual novel about a man who isn't sure whether he killed someone last night.

It was a very small team, and I was able to take on one of my favourite roles: the Jack of All Trades. I did the music, and the writing, and a little bit of the hooking together, and I got to work with a dedicated visual artist, and a dedicated programmer to make magic in 48 hours.
