He's best known for Papers, Please and Return Of The Obra Dinn. Both of which became popular thanks to their unique and experimental premise and won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Independent Games Festival.
He started working in the department of game programming as a modder. He founded, alongside other programmers, the modding studio Ratloop which released in 1997, a mod for Quake called Malice which later got officially bundled with the real game in a re-release. From 2003 to 2009, he worked as a programmer for Realtime Associates and later Naughty Dog, the latter at which he helped the creation of various Uncharted games.
His Creator Thumbprint is his interest in experimenting new concepts and unusual ideas as gameplay mechanics.
