Games
Besides general narrative design in games, which includes a wide range of decision-making processes, I have gained a vast amount of experience in creating written content.
My latest project, Rekindle Light, is a narrative driven escape room. It tells the story of a lighthouse keeper, who received a desperate letter from his daughter. As players navigate the lighthouse, they uncover the strained relationship between the two through puzzles and memories. Every object the player interacts with gives textual information in the form of inner monologue from the father.

I have experience in writing dialogues, descriptive and informational texts, prologues, epilogues and a wide variety of other content, not only for games but also for various media. In addition, I have experience in storytelling, including the utilisation of scientific research to develop a narrative framework based on historical or psychological factual knowledge.

Film
As part of the 'Storytelling' class (M.A.) I wrote a film treatment for a little chamber play film called 'Young trees', that I had designed myself. The premise of the film is that the grief over the loss of the mother leads to the reunion of the children.
It is about four adult siblings, that recently lost their mother. They gather for Christmas, but their already strained relationship becomes further challenged. Past conflicts resurface, threatening to tear them apart, but their shared grief eventually reunites them amidst the chaos of emotions.
Feel free to take a look at the exposé (german, full treatment including character sheets on request).
Content
For the open day at the HS Harz I was part of the content team and my tasks involved creating website content and print content for flyers and posters.
Working on the blog was mainly journalistic work like researching facts and infos or conducting interviews on various topics. The topics were primarily games presentations and insights in various classes taught in the degree program.
