    paper Nautilus Rising

    Nautilus Rising— https://www.twine.net/signin —a concept born from my love of storytelling, music, and the immersive atmosphere of retro RPGs. Though the game itself remains a dream, the synopsis and ideas shared here spring from a my creative vision and a passion for composing music inspired by its imagined themes, characters, and environments.

    This project is my canvas for exploring musical creativity, crafting compositions that could breathe life into a game like this. Nautilus Rising seeks to capture the wonder, tension, and discovery of classics like Monkey Island and Broken Sword, blending their spirit with a unique fusion of modern and retro vibes.

    While no concrete steps have been taken toward development, collaboration is always on the horizon. If this concept sparks something in you—whether as a developer, writer, artist, or fellow dreamer—I’d love to hear your thoughts. Who knows where this shared passion might take us?

    Reach out through the contact information provided—I’m always curious to connect with kindred spirits.
