CLIVE BARKER’s HELLRAISER: REVIVAL
“Delves into the concepts of temptation, obsession, addiction and the unabashed pursuit of raw experience. It's a genuine love letter to the franchise, weaving its lore and underpinning philosophy seamlessly into both the narrative and gameplay.” - SciFiNow
“I'm proud as f**k at the end result, […] the game is a wake-up call to anyone who's been involved in [] a franchise like Hellraiser” - Clive Barker, via PC Gamer
As a Narrative Director at Saber Interactive, I was able to design the story vision and act as lead writer, build the narrative team, while also overseeing all cinematics and several trailers (reveal and two story). I also managed both internal and external stakeholder relations.
Rated 94% Positive on Steam, 4.7/5★ on PlayStation, and 4.7/5★ on Xbox.

When faced with an armed man, his voracious appetite for conversation, and nobody else for miles, can you safely get rid of him?

Recently, this has included mapping out interactive narrative structures from successful games, deep dives into theory, thoughts on industry trends, interviews with developers, and writing about writing.

He then became a Lead Narrative Designer at Fishlabs GmbH, where he quickly became integral to project direction.

Kostas Zarifis, MD of Rogue Sun - “I was impressed by how well and how quickly Tony understood the project requirements. He has a strong games background as well as a strong writing background, so we had a common language from the get go, which allowed us to advance efficiently. His communication skills and work ethic are excellent, which made Tony a pleasure to work with. I'd highly recommend Tony for your project and would happily work with him again.”
