01 / Game narrative design
A few worlds
worth exploring.
Characters with a purpose. Places with a past. Stories that unfold through play.

More about my writing
Arezoo, behind the words.03 / The person behind the stories
Hello again.
I’m Arezoo.
My background is in English literature, publishing, and cultural journalism. I’m drawn to the details that make a story feel alive: a character’s voice, a town’s traditions, or the one sentence that changes how you see everything.
I’ve written and edited for Litlog, led a 15-person university journal team, and developed narratives for games. Across all of it, the thread is the same: finding the right words for the world in front of me.
Away from the page: books, video games, hiking, painting, and probably a crochet project.
