"A Closed World"

This was the game I worked on at the GAMBIT Game Lab in MIT as a game designer. It's loosely based on old-school turn-based RPGs like Pokemon and Earthbound, and is an attempt to deal with queer issues in games in a respectful and meaningful way. Check it out in the link below:

Not only did the game spark many a discussion on the potential of games to tackle mature subject matter, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to get a close look at the inner workings of game development. Huge props to the amazing people I worked with at Team Fabulous and our 'father' figures Todd Harper and Abe Stein! :-)
