My role on Area 26 was feature owner on the many tools the player uses throughout the game.
As a result, I designed and implemented many of them myself, such as the Mop, Plunger, Rubber Duck and cleaning cart. As a feature owner, I ensured tools implemented by others met the same design goals and documentation standards.

Result
Due to the efforts on the team 'Area 26' was very positively received, with users drawing comparisons to such games such as 'Alien Isolation'. The game itself as well as my personal work on the project both achieved a first.
