Gaurav Dhenki

Game designer and narrative designer working across puzzle and systems design, with a background in 3D art and animation that shapes how every project looks, sounds, and plays. Shipped and in-development work spans a memory-puzzle arcade game for children, a probability-driven royal card game, a neon casino betting maze, a physics-chained co-op racer, a satanic-cult escape room, a luxury card-prediction game, and a time-travel puzzle adventure — each built on the same principle: every mechanic should earn a reason to exist inside the story.
