Special Interests

Aveyond

Aveyond is a comedic, anachronistic high fantasy series made in RPG Maker and set in the world of Aia. Spread over hundreds of years, it has a few recurring characters and locations, but each game is relatively self-contained. Most of the games in the series are based on a twist of the chosen one or other common fantasy trope. It is also the singular most important piece of media in the world to me. I would be a totally different person without this game series and I am so grateful for all the fun, inspiration, and connections it's given me.

Umineko: When They Cry

Umineko is a timeloop, murder mystery, fantasy visual novel about a Reddit atheist playing 4D chess with a witch to disprove her existence and save his family from being brutally murdered. I get a bit of imposter-syndrome putting Umineko on here when I haven't finished it yet, but this game has taken over my brain in the past two years. The characters and storyline have grabbed me and redirected my every waking thought with an intensity and consistency I've never experienced outside of Aveyond before.

Current Obsession

In Stars and Time

I played In Stars and Time by insertdisc5 in May and it has immediately both shot to the top of my RPG Maker Games list and totally rewired my brain chemistry. I love the way it builds its mysteries throughout the game, and it has one of the most emotionally intense/cathartic endings I've ever experienced.

Favorite characters: Odile, Mirabelle, Siffrin
