At this level, I can actually live on my Patreon wages alone! Expect higher-quality projects from me as I'm able to turn more attention to my dev work, creating art and music assets and learning more and better programming languages.

Hi! I'm Caelyn Sandel. I'm a multimedia storyteller with a penchant for character-focused narratives and examining social issues through text. I write games, novels, and vignettes, mostly within the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
I love subverting genre tropes and surprising my readers and players. I've been writing and producing games off and on for almost 20 years and telling stories for longer than I can even remember, so the opportunity to create a community that follows my work is a dream come true.
This Patreon campaign has and will continue to provide the freedom I need to build momentum as a professional storyteller while still allowing me to release creative work to the public at no charge. As I produce more, expect more continuity and expansion on my existing works. My fiction universe, the Age of Corporations, is already the subject of a published novel and also a second book that is currently in editing. Supporting me ensures the development of existing fictional universes and the creation of new ones.
If you'd like to see more of what I've done, please visit my website, inurashii.xyz, to check out the games, stories, and talks that I've done!
Or, if you'd like something a bit more curated, take a look at a small sample of works that I have created or collaborated on, all of which are free to read or play for free online:
