ABOUT

Hey, I’m Kaitlyn (they/she). I’m an artist, writer and game dev.

I’m driven to work on games that are story-focused, socially impactful and meaningful because I see infinite potential in the way that stories connect people with each other and give experience and context to situations outside of ourselves.

EXPERIENCE

SYSTEM PANIC – Game Developer

2019 – ONGOING

In 2019 I started SYSTEM PANIC with the goal of creating fun and engaging story based games.

SYSTEM PANIC was founded on the belief that if there’s enough money in the world for a SEVENTH Pirates of the Caribbean movie, there’s enough space in the world for us to exist.

I released my first narrative date-simulator, Blind Date in 2018 on Steam and Itch.io.

I’m currently working on a story-focused game about raccoons and petty crime called Grabby Paws.

Company motto: We’ll need lots of entertainment in the bunkers.
