The Penne Dreadful Murder
Detective Pennelope Scout must solve a murder in the odd town of Timsville where everything is exactly what it seems: topsy-turvy and just a little bit gross. Gather evidence and alibies as Penne uncovers the secrets of Timsville!
The Penne Dreadful Murder is a macabre-comedic point-and-click RPG that was developed in Unity in four months. I was the narrative designer and one of two writers on the project:
I created the town of Timsville while working on a four-week prototype of the game’s initial concept with a smaller team, then built up and expanded the world and the characters for the full game.
I kept the project in scope by facilitating conversations with all team members to decide what needed to be cut for the sake of completing the project on time, while still maintaining the themes and the story.
I wrote dialogue for the protagonist and a multitude of the NPCs.
