Serious Point Games

Narrative Assistant

Having been part of the team at Serious Point Games, we worked on 3D Murder Mystery Thriller game The Ski Lodge Murder. Play as Detective Lukas Braun as he is summoned to a party in a millionaire's ski lodge. As a storm sets in outside, leaving the guests stranded, a murder will require the detective to gather clues, solve puzzles and more to unravel the mystery and identify the culprit.

Writing, plot development, research, world and character building have been fantastic parts of the project to be involved in. Regular participation in writers rooms with the Creative Director Sean Dixon, Technical Operating Director Alex Crean and the rest of the lovely team has been invaluable to creatively problem solve narrative elements and how they relate to player experience, level design and asset creation.

Work samples will be available at a later point in development.
