I also wrote one of FOUR expanded essay books included with the Deluxe Edition. Mine goes deep into the worlds of THE SILVER CASE - not just the 24 Wards in its story, but the physical and digital realms that birthed it, as well as the imagined worlds that fuel its anxieties.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!
