THE NEW DRESS

THE DIRECTIVE

An interactive fiction experience that strips away twitch mechanics, forcing the narrative pacing and character choices to bear the full weight of the gameplay. A study in mood and consequence.

THE PIVOT

I wanted to build an experience completely devoid of action. The challenge was proving that atmospheric tension, deliberate text pacing, and stark visual states can be just as engaging as a high-speed combat loop.

THE ENGINE OF CHAOS

• Narrative Fractures: Player choices don't just alter dialogue—they dictate the flow of the story and its ultimate, inescapable resolution.
• Atmospheric Weight: Relies heavily on visual pacing and psychological storytelling rather than mechanical difficulty.

THE AUTOPSY

The Blood: Stripping away action forces the spotlight onto branching logic and emotional resonance. It proved that pacing a paragraph of text requires the same exact psychological tension as pacing a boss fight.
