Hi, I’m Sophie Benefer. I’m a writer and narrative designer who builds immersive story worlds for AAA games and IPs. Over the years I’ve created lore, characters and branching narratives, collaborating with designers, artists, and producers to bring ambitious visions to life. I love turning complex ideas into engaging dialogue and quest structures. I’ve mentored writers, pitched content to executives, and translated research into compelling scripts, logs, pitches and treatments for TV and video games.…Hi, I’m Sophie Benefer.
