Two games in development, built in Visual Novel Maker and RPG Maker. Each one a short, self-contained experience built around consequence.
A group of friends follow the reckless Erica into an abandoned mansion that appeared overnight. Trapped in a shifting labyrinth, separated, and forced to survive lethal puzzles — every choice shapes who makes it out. Multiple endings, a hidden true ending, and a story that remembers what you did last time.
A short RPG built on a single principle — every choice is final. Enemies can be fought or reasoned with, alliances can be forged or burned, but nothing can be undone. A compact, replayable experience that puts consequence at the centre of every decision.
Short poems at the intersection of the natural world and the human one. Seasons change. Emotions shift like weather.
A collection of short poems that move between the natural world and the human one — using forests, seasons, moonlight, and stone to speak about society, memory, emotion, and growth. Quiet in its observations and deliberate in its turns.
The caged canary sleeps under cold bars. Outside the security of the cell lies adventure and the door was open. This canary will not be content in a cage.
An ongoing fantasy novel series and a mystery novella. Both available to read in full.
What happens after the end of an epic? Another story begins. A warrior reborn into an unfamiliar world with all his memories intact — navigating childhood, secrets, and the slow reconstruction of a life he never asked for.
Ghosts are terrorizing the residents of a countryside mansion. The client is frightened. The detective is reckless — and one of the apparitions seems to know it. A traditional mystery told through the eyes of Toni, Veritas' assistant, revealing its detective slowly, one unguarded moment at a time.
“A demon's face! What the hell? I need to move! I need to escape!” — he tried to run. He had no strength. He tried to speak. All he heard was one wild wail.
A stage adaptation of a classic Japanese folktale, and an original short film about a retired detective who finds the case he never solved.
A stage adaptation of the classic Japanese folktale. Two sisters, a sparrow, and a lesson about kindness, greed, and consequence — reimagined for the contemporary stage.
A retired detective stumbles on a breakthrough in a cold case he never solved. A 7-minute short film about obsession, absence, and the moment a man realizes the case that defined him may have cost him everything that mattered more.
Three projects built from scratch — a self-hosted smart home system, a digital party game, and a board game companion app.
A fully self-hosted smart kitchen management system built on a Raspberry Pi 5 — no subscriptions, no cloud dependency. Custom touchscreen dashboard, on-device voice control, live grocery deal matching, and smart home automation. Fridge-mounted, running entirely on a private home network.
A fully playable browser adaptation of the DrunkQuest fantasy drinking card game. 8 hero classes, 8 realm cards, 22 treasure cards, 18 monsters and bosses, with complete turn management, hero abilities, and monster combat faithful to the original physical game.
A digital companion for Tragedy Looper that replaces the physical board, tokens, cards, and rulebook during play. 13 official scripts preloaded, drag-and-drop character movement, a real-time win-condition engine, and all 28 characters' Goodwill abilities coded. Runs offline.
