Anastasia Morgan
I'm a game writer/narrative designer, editor, blogger, copywriter, and all-around ink-slinging wordsmith. I've crafted stories across a variety of mediums including short stories, online comics, visual novels, games — always seeking to create interesting storylines, rich characters, and engaging worlds told in whatever method best suits.That's why I love games so much: it's an incredible fusion of art and tech.I'm also an experienced cross-discipline creative — brand voice and clickable copy to clear technical guides, I love crafting the written word.

In the year 2052, an unknown epidemic suddenly envelopes the world, leaving nothing but death, blood, and undead. At the crossroads stands Nick Townsend, captain of a stealth merc unit known as THETA, along with his wife Dr. Alma Winters-Townsend, and his tech whiz younger brother Simon Townsend. This is more than a story of survival—this is a tale of intrigue, perseverance, and humanity pushed to the brink.
