About

Tariq Singh is a writer and developer based in Brampton, Ontario.

His writing spans interactive fiction, fantasy novels, mystery novellas, poetry, stage adaptations, and screenwriting. His games are built in Visual Novel Maker and RPG Maker and available on itch.io. His technical projects — a self-hosted smart kitchen system, a digital board game companion, and a party game app — are built from scratch in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

This site collects that work in one place — games, poetry, fiction, scripts, and projects, most of it readable in full.
