UNCANNY is a mystery, walking-simulator game where the player controls a reporter tasked with writing a piece about a strangely run-down carnival. It is up to the player to explore the park and figure out the mystery behind this strange place, the events that may have transpired in this "Light World", and the existence of the mysterious "Dark World".

This project adds a Norse-themed expansion to the game Spirit Island. My main role was designing a spirit that fits within the existing design styles of the game. By studying the existing diverse styles of art and leaning into the concept of "making it weird", I designed our spirit to shape the energy of the Aurora Borealis into a deer spirit that watches over the island. The spirit is called "Nexus of the Aurora" which follows similar naming conventions of the other spirits.

Designed an alternate controller for Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (2015) to enhance player experience by simulating the movements made in game. This adds a more physical, challenging aspect to a game that traditionally relies on mouse and keyboard controls.
