I worked as a contract writer on Moonlight Pulse, writing 340+ conversations, plus all item descriptions and journal entries. I also championed the incorporation of fifteen distinct narrative endings, which change based on player actions. In this role, I worked closely with the game’s lead designer to ensure that my writing matched the game’s tone and setting.
Player Reviews
Steam reviews for Moonlight Pulse made it clear that players found my writing to be a high point of their experience:
“The high point is for sure the characters and story writing. It’s so charming, with some genuinely great moments.”
— Evagorn, Steam review
“The character dialogue is just really good. All four of the characters have interesting personalities.”
— Staropikmin, Steam review
“Each character has a surprising amount of depth to it, and the bonds that form between them over the course of the game flesh this out further to the point of making you genuinely care about them. The writing and dialogues are very well done, and each and every character goes through some character development that feels completely natural and in line with their ideals and personality.”
