Project Perfect Citizen
December 2016
Project Perfect Citizen is an interactive narrative experience addressing government surveillance in the modern digital age.
The player takes on the role of a no-name employee at the Department of Cyber Police and Security: a division of the government tasked with monitoring all domestic communications. After obtaining a warrant from an automated database extraction system, the player is granted access to their target's Desktop in order to collect incriminating evidence to prove the target's guilt. But when the line between criminality and the everyday struggle is blurred, the player must look to their own conscience to arrest or exonerate the targets he or she is surveilling.
Confusion of Tongues
August 2020
Confusion of Tongues is a 2-8 Player limited communication game where players draft a lexicon in teams of two, and compete to be the first to complete their build contract!
Players are broken into two-player teams and compete to be the first to complete their build contract. The twist; Players can only communicate using Gibberish assigned to a limited Lexion each round. Teams draft out their Lexicon each round using a Pick/Ban order, then randomly assign Gibberish to their words.
Workers of The World Unite!
June 2020
Workers of the World Unite! is a 2-4 Player, Worker Placement game with hand management and area control elements, set among the strife of workplace unionization. A standard playthrough lasts 10-15 minutes.
Workers of the World Unite! is won when a Player reaches 16 or more Victory Points, and no other Player outscores them by the end of that round. The game is structured around two opposing factions: Unions and Corporations. Players use Workers from each faction to seize the Means of Production, and generate Victory Points.
Out of Hand
March 2016
In this anxiety ridden simulation, we explore what defines a good handshake. First, you learn to shake a rattle in the crib! Then, you graduate high school, your life is only headed up! Finally, you've reached the end of a tense job interview, this shake will determine whether or not you eat this week! Handshakes have been the dominant ritual of greeting for many cultures since ancient times.
Their significance in our culture cannot be overstated. Good luck! Don't let things get out of hand!
Who Stands Before The Law
June 2016
Who Stands Before the Law is a top down action puzzler where players explore the juridico-disciplinary landscapes of Paris and Tehran, and the legal obsessions with the Muslim hijab.
Two sisters must don and doff their religious garb to dodge the dangerous attention of authorities across tense cityscapes.
State of Uncertainty
In Development
State of Uncertainty is an upcoming tabletop game for 2-4 players, set to release late 2020. The current build combines area control and drafting mechanics to create a novel "area drafting" experience; modular territories are contested in their selection and placement as well as the resources applied to controlling them.
