Cinema and Media Engineering Student*, Politecnico di Torino*

My little projects as an entry-level Game Designer, Level Designer and Narrative Designer.

🎮Prototypes

Whispering walls

Game Designer · Level Designer · Narrative Designer

My very first game, a classic point-and-click adventure where players uncover the hidden secrets of his family.

The core mechanic revolves around possessing different characters, allowing players to experience the environment from multiple perspectives.

Each character unlocks new interactions and dialogue options, enabling players to solve puzzles and uncover information that would otherwise remain inaccessible.

<aside>

What I’ve worked on:

• Designed the possession-based gameplay system enabling character switching
• Designed environmental puzzles built around character-specific interactions
• Designed branching dialogue options depending on the possessed character
• Structured puzzle progression through multiple character perspectives
• Iterated puzzles through playtesting and clarity improvements </aside>

Poisoned Knight

Level Designer · Narrative Designer

A short puzzle game created for the 20 Seconds Game Jam.

Players control a poisoned knight who has only twenty seconds to escape a dungeon, solving environmental puzzles under strict time pressure.

The isometric perspective and compact level design focus on quick observation and fast decision making. Light was treated as a systemic mechanic, designed to serve multiple gameplay functions and puzzle interactions.

What I’ve worked on:

• Designed environmental puzzles adapted to a 20-second gameplay loop
• Structured puzzle layout within a compact dungeon space
• Wrote short texts and dialogues
• Iterated puzzles to maintain clarity under time pressure </aside>
