2nd Year Master, GGC 2025, thesis project

WellCase

This project is designed to simulate the experience of being diagnosed and treated for hysteria. Using a custom-made controller integrated with a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit, the game delivers mild electric stimulation to players as a form of “treatment” for their imaginary illness. The game manipulates players into questioning their own perceptions of health and agency.

SCROOBLIES is a fantastically fun mobile game that mixes the complex sorting mechanics of the match three genre with the fast paced shooter elements of the shoot em’ up genre. The game also prides itself on having a very high quality art style and soundscape.

Rogue-lite, dungeon crawler, hack & slash, music-focused game set in Italy (Sicily) during the XVI Century. In a cursed town, people have been deprived of their capacity to hear sounds and music.
