Hey, I’m Alex. I design games with a focus on narrative and systems, exploring gamer experiences through a psychological lens. In my free time, I craft provocative indie games and create vector and pixel art.
Follow me for game design bite-sized tutorials, and a peek behind the indie dev curtain.

Your brain’s not broken, but maybe your workflow is.
Let’s talk if you want to have a system that actually works for your brain.

In Love is a Demon, you’ll face many choices, some funny and some surprisingly tough. Each decision shapes your relationship and guides you toward one of three endings. At the end, you receive a lover-profile summary that reflects the way you navigated the story.

Advice is an experiment on somebody's cost. I don't do advice. As a coach, I help you find the answers that will work for you.
(Though yes, I’ll still cheer when you finally cut that unnecessary fishing minigame.)

Everyone makes mistakes. Some swipe right on the wrong person. Some accidentally summon demons.
In Love is a Demon, you’ll have the chance to make many decisions, including the bad ones.

You know Luna has feelings for you… but do you feel the same?
In Love is a Demon, every choice cuts deeper than you expect.
Sometimes, you’ll wish someone else could decide for you.

Coaching won’t give you +10 Discipline or unlock the “Never Procrastinate Again” perk.
It’s more like having a co-op partner who helps you decide which skill even matters right now.
You still do the grinding, but you know what to do and how to do it.

But finishing? Finishing is where the real growth happens.
You will need to go through difficult moments, but the result is worth it.
