A DAY OUT is a supernatural cryptid-hunting game featuring monsters, handcrafted environments, original music, narrative content, and more. As Project Lead, Creative Director, and Game Director, I helped shape the project from its earliest concepts through Early Access and its 1.0 release.

On a two-person team, I took on a wide range of responsibilities across design, development, narrative, and production, including creating 20+ maps for the game. A DAY OUT is my largest and most ambitious project to date.
