Dyscourse

Dyscourse is Lord of the Flies plus a choose-your-own-adventure book, with a dash of LOST, and a sprinkle of The Walking Dead. You play as Rita, an unfortunate art school grad turned barista who is now stuck on a desert island with a crew of misfit travelers. That last choice you just made? It may end up being integral to your rescue or you might have just incited a riot leading to a delightful bout of cannibalism.

For eight months I designed complex narrative threads and contributed significantly to the 80k words of dialogue (+ DLC), upholding the humor & style Owlchemy Labs is known for.

Here is a short sample of gameplay and dialogue.

Here is a longer gameplay sample.

And finally, a sample from the Indie Island DLC.
