The Long Dark: An Exercise in Brutal, Bitter Futility
I have a lot of memories associated with snow, especially at night. Walks through the frozen woods with my family, the thrilling and deadly experience of night-sledding in our horse pastures, and later plowing our driveway with my dad on our old Romani…

Metro! Basic Rules
Here’s a basic strategy game I developed as a class project for a study abroad program in Paris I did during the summer of 2017. It’s theoretically supposed to be edutainment of some sort but I’ve never actually playtested it. Here it is in all its glo…
