About Delerium
Delerium is a Cyberpunk - Psychological Horror Visual Novel that I started in my third year of University, I took the role of project manager as it was a concept from my year one narrative class that a few friends wanted to expand on. As a programmer, I spent most of my time implementing the game's functionality, some of which I feature here. In total, there were 6 people on the project. This project helped me learn a lot about Python, team dynamics and leading in general.

“You begin to writhe in recourse. Staring down at your arms, you look in horror at a trail of wires that lead from your skin to the base of the floor. They have fused with your flesh, becoming one with your body. A convoluted cybernetic network that pulses with an unsettling blue light, is created by the tendrils of metal and plastic that snake through your skin and delve deep into your muscles and organs. You wheeze a struggled breath as you look upon pale and clammy skin. The wires feel as though they are alive and conscious because you can feel them writhing and twitching underneath.
“Panic”
Try as you might, you struggle, and your heartbeat quickens with every movement. repressing a minor sob, you come to the realization that there is no escaping this twisted sentinel that you’ve become. a sigh wheezes from your desperate lips as you begin to accept the terrifying situation that awaits you and feel the weight of hopelessness engulfing you like a smothering blanket."
