The SIMIAN Institute

The SIMIAN Institute is a first person horror game about escaping a sinister art institute using a mysterious piece device that can move obstacles. The player must navigate labyrinthine exhibits and use this device to ensure a swift egress from the things that call these halls home. Their only friend is a disembodied voice locked in the museum's ticket booth. But can they be trusted?

I worked as a lead designer and programmer, creating the player and dialogue as well as story progression functionality. I also designed many of the creatures and their abilities, assisted with the design of the map manipulation device, and helped with writing the dialogue for the Sphinx and Curator.
