writing and narrative design for games

Who I Am

Hi, I’m Oscar.

I live in Edinburgh, and I write and design narratives for games.

I’m currently open to writing and narrative design opportunities. You can see more about what I can do for you here.

I’ve written for the original Reigns‍ ‍and Reigns Beyond, and I led the writing and narrative design on Reigns: The Witcher, working with Devolver Digital and CD Projekt RED.

I’m talking about this project at AdventureX in November, if you want to say hi!

I also wrote on The Crush House, winner of the Indiecade Jury Prix Award, and have multiple years of experience in game and level design, working with studios such as Supermassive Games.

Many of my current projects are unannounced, but you can see a slice of my past work here.

    Pocket Gamer on Reigns: The Witcher

  • “Superbly well-written, and masterfully integrated into the world"

    WayTooManyGames on Reigns: The Witcher
