Harley Brown-Cirkovic I’m a writer and illustrator who enjoys interesting characters and the emotion of storytelling. I’ve loved games and their stories since I was very young. My favourite genres are fantasy, noir and subtle horror.
Currently: Writer at Chunky Quail (Slumbering Woods) Director and narrative at escapebutton interactive (Masque Delusion) Previous titles: The Swirl, Liar Liar Game.
In my spare time when I’m not working on games, I’m playing dungeons and dragons with friends. My current game of the year: The Blood of Dawnwalker.
