Yeah, so hi, I'm Emily. I am a Los Angeles-based game developer and game dev creator. You might know me from game dev videos I post on Instagram and YouTube under the name Sondering Emily. I also previously did make a game called A Taste of the Past. It is on Steam and has over 120,000 plays, which was really exciting. That's awesome. And now I am working on my first horror game, Lily's World XD.

It's the first time I'm going solo. And the premise of the game is you investigate a young girl's computer. It's set in the early 2000s. So you do things like chat on AIM, go through your cringy blog. You have, I recreate Friendster in my game. Everything seems normal until someone realizes you're not Lily.

Yeah. Creepy, dark things happen.

I definitely am a gamer. I feel like it's strange to make games without playing them. It's like writing a book without reading books or making movies without watching them. I typically play more independent, story-driven games. I've never been super into AAA, although I do really like The Last of Us.

Yeah, actually, before this, I used to only make cozy games because that was all I played. And then earlier this year, I discovered the indie horror game called Omori and it blew my mind.

So good. And that made me realize the potential of horror to tell a really moving story. So after playing a few other horror games, another notable one I love is called Inscription.
