You’re the new caretaker at The Overview; chosen to single-handedly look after this remote hotel throughout the icy winter months. We join you on your first day of complete isolation; waking up very late following the end of season staff party – high in the mountains and cut off from the world by the first of the big snow storms. It’s time to leave your room and make your first check of the deserted hotel.
This experience is inspired by the fantastic Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining.

Negotiator is a concept that I started developing two months ago for a competition, it is based around a cinematic narrative, inspired by stylish 90s action/crime films and documentaries. It puts the player through a series of scenes that take place from the early 80s to present day, telling a story of the main protagonist’s career as a negotiator for hire, set against a backdrop of evolving technology and complex geo-political situations. Each scene is unique and can be solved in several different ways, while swapping between different members of the team (ie Negotiator, Sniper, Assault Team). There will be a narrative section in-between each scene that reflects what happened and moves the story forward.
