About Michael

I've been a passionate adventure game player since 1990. I'm a seasoned low-level C++ audio, image and video developer, and I've always wanted to build the kind of games I grew up on.

Unity, Adventure Creator and the tooling I've built into Turbo Play made it possible. Forbidden House is a game made of puzzles. Come in and try them.
