Indie games developer / game design student.
I try to explore new ideas and create truly original gameplay.
I'm a 21 year old studying at the Utrecht School of the Arts
in the Netherlands. My passion is to create gameplay and
I try to look for original ideas that feel new and surprise.
I hope you'll like my work.

Karoshi Series
"Karoshi" is Japanese and means "death from overwork".
In this game (series) the goal is to die. Often levels work differently
than you initially think. The game breaks it's own rules
to surprise you and is filled with humor.
