Games
Pera Coda
Indie Adventure / cRPG
Leading narrative design on Pera Coda, a psychologically-driven, neo-noir detective adventure set in 1990s Istanbul, with light RPG systems layered over a story-first core. My work covers the full narrative scope of the project: defining the overall vision and thematic arc, designing morally complex characters shaped by memory and guilt, architecting branching quest structures with meaningful divergence and convergence, and writing dialogue across main and side content. Alongside the writing, I maintain the story bible, coordinate narrative across game design, art, and audio, lead a small narrative team, and prepare content for localization from the writing stage.
Nora's Ark
Match 3 Puzzle
Sole narrative designer on Nora's Ark, owning the game's story and creative writing across both product and marketing. I wrote the core narrative and maintained the story bible as the project's single source of truth, designed character profiles with their personalities and relationships, and developed level themes that mapped narrative beats onto gameplay progression. Beyond the product itself, I created thematic concepts for marketing campaigns and produced supporting video content, extending the game's world into the spaces where players first encountered it.
Wonder Blast
Match 3 Puzzle
Narrative designer on Wonder Blast, a mobile puzzle game with a global player base, owning story and creative writing across product and marketing. I wrote the game's core narrative, maintained the story bible, designed character profiles, and developed level themes shaping how narrative and atmosphere mapped onto gameplay progression. On the marketing side, I created thematic concepts for campaigns and collaborated with third-party production studios on video content, briefing creative direction and reviewing output.
