Play as Cupcake the Office Worker in A Case of the Mondays. The game aims to challenge stereotypes we have on identity and raise player consciousness of incessant, everyday use of technology. I was largely responsible for graphics and story development.
A Case of the Mondays was my final project with Sahil Kumar and Nicholas Linares for EPSY590: Engaging and Interactive Educational Technologies taught by Dr. H. C. Lane. |

Sample from script
CUPCAKE: Isn’t food dye harmless?
MUFFIN [CUPAKE's boss]: That’s what I thought too, but not Redemn. I spoke with a doctor friend of mine and she told me it’s mold causing to foods like us. Once you have enough of Redemn in your system, you start to mold inside out.
CUPCAKE: Mold causing? Isn’t that illegal?
MUFFIN: It used to be. Redemn was banned back in the 1920’s, but they lifted the ban sometime after. I’m not sure why. Big Mama must’ve tapped into some source of Redemn to mass produce those cookies. A lot is riding on the line here, Cupcake. I’m talking hundreds of jobs. But a part of me knows this isn’t right. I can’t help but think, “What if my son ate those cookies?” We’re poured in so much time and resource into this project. I just don’t know.

CUPCAKE's choices:
- You should do what’s right. Redemn should be banned.
- They don’t write in the job description, but… the company comes first, Boss.
- It’s okay. Not all questions have answers.
