During my years of study at the Bellecour school in Lyon. I was able to realize several projects whether they were study projects or free projects like game jams or just personal projects.

Speculum (Personal Project)

Speculum is a little horror game where the player will have to stay aware of what's behind them in order to not get caught. Indeed, the cursed monster will hunt and haunt them forever during the whole game, but, this monster can only be seen through a mirror since it is invisible to the player's eyes.

My Role: Programmer / Level Designer

Gravity Maze (Nexus Game Jam)
