Finally got the chance to put all of work my work together from Zau and get it up for all to see! It's been a wild journey getting Zau to release and beyond and it wouldn't have been possible without the tremendous effort of all those at Surgent Studios. #gamedev #unrealengine #stylized

For NPR, I reviewed a beautiful game about grief and the power we wield to not only navigate it but grow from it.
