Meghna Jayanth is an award-winning narrative designer focused on subverting the capitalist-colonialist fantasies and pleasures that dominate the imaginaries of game design. Her most recent project is the critically-acclaimed Thirsty Suitors, where you confront your hot but toxic exes in narrative combat and heal intergenerational immigrant trauma.

Past work includes IGF Narrative winner and BAFTA-nominated 80 Days - for which she won a Writers' Guild of Great Britain award in 2015; fantastical coming-of-age adventure Sable, and contributions to Horizon: Zero Dawn, This War of Mine, Boyfriend Dungeon, Sunless Sea and more. She's currently working on All Will Rise, an inappropriately joyous game about power, possibility and the impending ecological collapse of the world as we know it.
