“Mary’s work is highly-regarded by players, with a unique voice blending intimately-drawn characters, immaculately-structured stories, and unsettling existential horror. Failbetter Games' reputation is founded on the quality of our storytelling – it's our USP, and unsurprisingly we have demanding requirements. But I'm proud to have Mary's work in our games. Her contributions have formed a set of crucial, consistently excellent pillars to our monthly content. She has added beloved and exciting new characters, events and locations to our games' ever-growing canon, for future writers to develop and build on for years to come.

Based on her excellent track record, we also contracted her to write a substantial and singularly challenging character for one of our other titles, Sunless Skies. Mary provided a rich, nuanced piece of content with an angle I can confidently say I've never seen before in a game.”

“Mary is exceedingly talented, able to write in the voices of a disparate cast of characters she didn’t create, and unrelenting in her drive to make her work as perfect as possible. 

Her games background means she understands and can work within the constraints of the medium, which many struggle to do. It’s this combination of talent and a drive to always be better which makes her, in my opinion, one of the bright lights of the industry’s future. Games writing is a specialist field to which few are suited. Even fewer are able to stick out the laborious work of marrying originality to onerous technical specifications. Mary can, and her work never loses its brightness and warmth despite the technical wringer it’s been put through.”
