Games full of symbols and stories.
Ancient inspirations, modern storytelling.
Games that don’t explain — they absorb you.
About Me
My name is Maria.
I am a Mediterranean archaeologist with a PhD in Egyptology, and professionally – a game developer.For several years I have been combining my research on ancient cultures with game design in Unreal Engine 4 and 5. I specialize in level design, narrative design, worldbuilding, and gameplay systems (Blueprints).I worked on Builders of Egypt (Strategy Labs/PlayWay), where for three years I was responsible for:
• level design,
• narrative and historical texts,
• Egyptian naming and Egyptological consulting,
• project documentation.I currently run my own studio, Dreamincorn, where I create games inspired by mythology, symbolism, and ancient stories.In November 2025, I released the demo of Ta-Miu – an action-adventure game created entirely solo in UE 5.4 (gameplay, systems, level design, UI, narrative, trailers, marketing).I believe in games that not only entertain but also resonate emotionally – blending history, mythology, and modern storytelling.
Ta-Miu is my solo project – a single-player action-adventure game featuring exploration, environmental puzzles, and platforming challenges. The gameplay focuses on narrative, interaction with the environment, and developing the heroine’s supernatural abilities. Players take on the role of Ta-Miu, a cat chosen by the goddess Bastet to carry out an extraordinary mission. The story unfolds in a fully 3D world inspired by ancient Egypt during the reign of a great pharaoh. Ta-Miu, once a stray cat, becomes the central figure in a tale that blends mythology, adventure, and magic.
I worked on Builders of Egypt, developed by Strategy Labs, as a Level Designer and Narrative Designer. Builders of Egypt is a historical city-building game set in ancient Egypt. The player constructs and expands cities along the Nile, managing the economy, trade, religion, diplomacy, and relations with the Pharaoh. The game faithfully recreates Egyptian architecture, culture, and rituals, combining classic economic strategy with authentic historical references.
It allows players to build monumental structures, lead expeditions, respond to the unpredictable floods of the Nile, and develop a powerful civilization that will stand the test of time.
