Hello, I would like you to embark on a journey with me of self-healing. I have been a game designer for many years now, but since 2018 I have been unable to create my own personal projects due to my mental health.

My goal for the next year is to ease into things, to get my thoughts out on paper. To journal, in the form of games.

Over the course of one year (2023) my goal is to create one short interactive experience a month. This can something like a short experimental walking simulator, a brief Twine interactive fiction game, or whatever I am feeling up to that month! Most games will have some focus on narrative, and all of them will be personal expressionistic works with a focus on experimentation.

All games will be available for free on itch, but if you are interested in supporting me on my journey, I will also include design notes for the first tier of backers, and companion pieces for the second tier of backers for each game in the form of poetry, short stories or some other form of non-interactive art.
