Here in
the Garden
Here in the Garden was created for the 2023 GDEX Game Jam, for the theme "Outdoors."
​
In this small prototype, players need to gather the objects they need to fix their toy that they lost in the garden.
​
While extremely brief, the real goal of this project was to begin exploring development using pico-8 after I picked up the console and fell in love with its limitations and interesting Lua dialect.
​
Here in the Garden can be played in-browser here.
Dear Wormwood
Dear Wormwood is a text adventure created for the 2020 Global Game Jam, for the theme "Repair."
​

Walk
the Labyrinth
A serious game designed to teach players to manage stress in healthy ways.
This piece was inspired by the practice of labyrinth walking as a form of meditation, and by my own experiences learning to manage anxiety.
