Celine R. Lafosse
About me
My research and work revolves around interactive storytelling and production. It is crucial for me to use interactivity as a tool to further drive a narrative beyond dialogue and visuals, as games have brought a new age of storytelling that I am eager to explore.
My most prominent work includes “Silent Numbers”, a thesis project presented at Steam Nextfest 2026, and “Academical 3.0”, a choice-based interactive story game for RCR education.
