Narrative Design Reel – Triage

I was the narrative and level designer on Triage. I wrote the three main NPCs in the game inspired by my research into New England Gothic themes. This research helped not only shape them but the world of Triage, too. I worked closely with art, design and programming to ensure the narrative fit our collective vision.
