[2022] OLD SKULL GAMES
NARRATIVE & GAME DESIGNER
VALIANT HEARTS: COMING HOME
Valiant Hearts: Coming Home, the sequel to Valiant Hearts: The Great War, is a narrative puzzle/adventure game released on PC, Consoles, and Mobile. The game was awarded 3 Pégases (French video game awards), including one for 'Excellence in Narrative'.
"Solve puzzles, fly above chaos and heal the wounded in this follow-up to the beloved adventure game inspired by World War I."
A dream came true! I loved the first one and wished since then to create at least one Game for Change in my career. I'm grateful to Ubisoft and Old Skull Games for this amazing opportunity.
