Pengyu Huo

I have been exposed to various games since I was a child, ranging from Nintendo's GBA console to Switch, Sony's PS2, PSP, and PS5. Some of my favorites include board games like "Splendor," "Avalon," and "Catan," as well as multiplayer online games like League of Legends (LOL), Warcraft, Hearthstone, and video games such as Elden Ring, What Remains of Edith Finch, Disco Elysium, and Please Knock on My Door.

 

As I grew older, I developed an interest in narrative games, especially "What Remains of Edith Finch." Meanwhile, "Journey" by Chen Xinghan was a life changer. It provided me with a unique experience and healed my loneliness. As I traveled with the strangers in the game, I felt genuine emotions and understanding from each other without the need for much communication. It was this game that sparked my aspiration to become a game designer.
