Services

We can help you bring your story to life. Here's how we work.

Heavy Lifting

We provide a full range of storytelling services for our clients. We start with your game's world, and continue through character development and narrative design, all the way to the final line of dialog. We can work independently or alongside your team's writing talent to help bring your story to life.

Firefighting

What if: your advance reviewers tear your story apart. The testers hate your characters. Your plot doesn’t integrate with your levels. The dialog is a disaster.

Are you doomed?

Of course not!

We have come onto projects late in development - as late as content lock - and helped the team correct course. If you're facing a challenge, we can help.

Expert Services

If the goal is to earn a Metacritic score of 90+, your game will have to have a great story. And it won’t be told by just one person – everybody on the team will play a part. We join a team to lead brainstorming sessions, conduct story audits, develop IP, and run game-writing workshops. We work with studios to help turn game developers into storytellers.

We offer presentations, seminars, and workshops worldwide
