Home, Again

Demo projects

Play Home, Again on itch.io Due to scaling issues, I recommend you play the game on itch.io. Home, Again is a short, science fiction visual novel about Mallory, a weary spacefarer tired of the endless search for a place to call home while her crewmates perish. Originally based on my script Journey to the Crimson World (a part of my writing portfolio), this game brings the story to life with visuals and interactivity, offering a different perspective on Mallory's journey. The dialogue choices will affect several dialogue sections, and an invisible karma system determines three different endings. I am unsure if I will ever turn this into a full story or game.

The Gaunt: Broken

Demo projects

Play The Gaunt on itch.io Not working? Play the game here on itch.io. The Gaunt is a small, narrative-driven RPG set in a world out of time. Play as The Traveller, a character forced to visit this world as a stop-gap on a greater journey. I created it as a portfolio project to showcase my writing skills. The splash screen and title screen state "Beyond Jupiter Games," a faux game studio I created for the project. You can see my full name in the credits. I created the game with several criteria in mind, namely: It must be built in GB Studio; There is only a two-colour pallet (because I'm terrible at art); The game can be completed in under 30 minutes; It includes very basic quests, controls, and battle…
