I'm super excited to announce the new game I've been working on, Earl the Tomb Robber! This game is my most personal (and vulnerable) work yet. It's narrative deals with poor self-image issues and tries to find a way to deal with them... but, like, in a fun way.

Earl the Tomb Robber is a story-driven adventure set on a mysterious "Island of the Dead", full of rewarding exploration, challenging puzzles and cozy combat.


I wanted this game to be as much about exploring exotic locations and mysterious tombs as it is about exploring your own personality and discovering how to identify your true authentic self. As Earl learns to face his own insecurities, the player is challenged to do the same.


"Earl the Tomb Robber is what happens when a former professional game dev loses everything and goes rogue, solo developing a game conceived as “God of War meets Uncharted and has an Indie Pixar styled baby” (But on a much smaller budget!) For 15 years I was a professional Designer/Writer/Creative Director at Telltale Games, but my health took a turn for the worse and left me disabled and depressed. Things continued to go downhill from there. The truth of the matter is that I'm just some guy who is going through some shit in his life right now... just like everyone else. But I am fortunate enough to have the experience and ability to create video games, and I'm hoping that by addressing some of these issues in the game, I can get to understand myself better and maybe gain some insight into dealing with my issues in a healthy way. And if I'm SUPER lucky, maybe this dumb little game will help other people find their way too.”
