this site is home to all my writing, video work and creative outlets. here you can find exclusive reviews & blog posts, as well as links to my game work on itch.io. if you enjoy what i do at all, i highly recommend donating to my ko-fi or patreon, or you can simply leave a comment on my neocities profile to let me know what you think!
