My Work

I worked on Birthday Party as a designer and developer for 5 months. I designed everything from the narrative to the art and implemented everything into the Figma platform. My main tasks were:

Branching Narratives

I created branching narratives with meaningful plotlines for a different play-through experience each time.
Interesting options for players to choose from to make the decisions emotionally weighted.
Substantial endings that coordinate with the overall story.

Interactive Elements

Click to move function using Figma's transitions to create interaction.
I made cohesive art mixed with transitions to emphasize the atmospheric feel of the game.

Detailed Dialouge

Thematic tone switches in dialouge to draw the player in.
Advertous themes paired with creepy diologe to dive home the "Backrooms" atmosphere.
Dialouge filled with a deeper meaning for the player to reflect on.
