Yuri Runnel
The name's Yuri (they/them) and I'm a queer autistic game designer, artist and writer from Estonia. Here you'll find games by WITCHBREAK, which is a collaboration between me and August Orion, who is a black nonbinary designer from the US. Any game in the Witchbreak Projects collection is one we worked on together and will be sharing profits for.
Occasionally I'll also release personal projects that I made on my lonesome. Often smaller games and more experimental stuff related to more personal interests and what's important to me at any given moment. These projects are listed in the Personal Projects collection.
