Hello new followers! 💛

I’m Marina and I’m a game designer focused on Emotional Game Design. ✨

I’m currently an emotional game designer and head of business at btf Games in Berlin. 🔥

Prev. I was the lead game designer for the indie game Dordogne! I’m also a consultant and a filmmaker. 🥰
Yesterday a friend of mine said to me that she is really proud of me because I have an “adult job” = game development.

I feel ofc touched but I’m not sure what she meant really 😂💛

GAMES I'VE COMPLETED IN 2026 - A THREAD:

I'm going to be starting the year off with @bluebackpack.bsky.social's The Berlin Apartment, which only came out in November 2025. Every subsequent post will be a mini review; particularly interesting ones will be expanded upon in my blog. 🎮

#3. The Berlin Apartment - 2025 (@bluebackpack.bsky.social, @ninfadp.bsky.social) - beautifully, sensitively weaves together five disparate stories that all take place in the same place across a century. A great concept that feels fully realised and believable in one of the best cities in the world.

It was really nice! I loved the storytelling aspect between the father/daughter and how each story was sweet and sad, except somehow 1967 which was a bit more depressing.
Loved the moment where you go out to get Xmass decorations and is cold and broken. Making the best out of bad times. ❤️ Good job

1967 is giving me Vietnam flashbacks. I had a boss like Büllow once and goddamn it's triggering me hahahaha. Loving it so far!

I experienced Kolja and Lu's (And Erich) story so far and it was lovely. Nailed the throw to the tower on my first try! I'm not sure the game will tell me if they ever met, but I sure hope so. :)

I feel almost obliged today to share one of my favourite design books ever. 🥰 (It's a nice Christmas present)

Theme Park Design & The Art of Themed Entertainment by David Younger

And I'm thinking that I would love to get all these books I love in my kindle. 😅

So for my long trip on Saturday I ended up buying so far:

✨Ni No Kuni (played it before but I wanted to play it again)
🌳Ori and the Blind Forest (played it ages ago but didn't finish it fully)

And I'm going to get Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley! ⭐

All of them for Nintendo Switch! 🥰
