Dude! your stuff is great! I am working on a short story driven platformer (portfolio project) with a joyfull happy character in a dark/ depressing story about stress and burnouts. I would love to talk to you about it, but the game is not in any state yet to put you to good use. It will be written by 2 co-writers (dialogues and stories) + input from psychologists if it all makes sense from a medical standpoint and the story is inspired by my own experience with a burnout many years ago.
I would love to add you to my contact list to talk about the project in lets say 4 months if your interested. I have a prototype online here: https://guldor.itch.io/limb-for-limb (i'm testing some other player characters ideas, so there will be an updated prototype when done testing in 1/2 weeks)
cheers!
