## Be the cat. Save the kittens.

I co-created and built Kitty Nigiri with Jacob Dominicus at Greater Studios. The VR puzzle game combines a science-fiction story world with embodied play: navigating laser puzzles, catching sushi, and rescuing kittens.

## A world at the scale of your body

The story and the physical interaction belong together. Moving through a puzzle, reaching for sushi, and responding to hazards put the player inside the world.

Sharon Chang was also part of the collaboration at Greater Studios.

My contribution spans game design and development in our collaboration.

## A historical release

Kitty Nigiri launched on Steam Early Access. The [Steam listing](https://store.steampowered.com/app/647950/Kitty_Nigiri/) records a September 5, 2017 release. Greater Studios wrapped in 2023.
