Calve Cowdry
Game Writer & Narrative Designer
Hey there! I’m Calve, a Narrative Designer and Game Writer with a knack for building worlds that players don’t just explore, but feel. This corner of the web is my narrative workshop, a curated showcase of my work, process, and storytelling range. I strive to bring creativity, clarity, and care to every project. If you’re looking for a storyteller who does more than just write, someone who can help shape the very soul of a game, you’re in the right place.

“They say that the we humans are 80 percent water. For me, creating interactive media and telling a story through the medium of games must be what makes up the other 20 percent.”
