The Collage Atlas

“…I couldn't help but stare in awe…” Vice

4.5 years in the making, and drawn entirely with pen & ink by one person

The Collage Atlas is an absorbing first-person adventure through a picture book dream world.

Exploring themes of memory, agency, and hope.

The game offers a delicately crafted narrative, and an absorbing, mindful experience in a world of branching paths and secret areas waiting to be discovered.

Featuring intricate pen & ink artwork, drawn with 0.03mm pens, and a dreamy soundtrack - all created by John Evelyn.

A Landscape, Distinct

This EP is a collection of instrumental and largely pretty quiet guitar-based tracks that were deconstructed and used in the creation of The Collage Atlas. As well as some that were ultimately not used in the final game.

It also features my first attempts at writing music for a hole-punch music box.
