A 6-player horror co-op game set in the dystopian Grimm City, where players work for the sinister NeuroCorp collecting "consciousness" from Neural Abled Bodies (NABs) while evading the city's dangerous dwellers, then head home between missions to customize their quarters.
I programmed everything the game required as a multiplayer Steam title: networking, gameplay systems, AI, and tooling, as founder and sole programmer at BrokenQuill. We launched a demo during Steam Next Fest and picked up almost 1,000 wishlists with zero marketing spend. Development is currently on standby after struggling to secure funding in a market saturated with similar co-op titles at the time.
