About

I'm Tess. I write games. For ten years that meant quests and dialogue at a big studio near Seattle. Since 2024 it means one game, with my friend Owen, in Duluth, the town I grew up in.

This is where I write about everything else: books, walks, my mother, letters, and the work when I'm allowed to say anything about it. I post when I have something to say, which is every few weeks if I'm being honest.

I still answer letters by hand, slowly. Comments close after thirty days, because I can't keep up with more than that.
