Game Design Audit
Identify problems before
they get expensive.
A review of your game’s vision, player experience, systems and production clarity
Best suited for
- Playable prototypes
- Games approaching a milestone
- Live games with unclear performance
- Teams stuck between competing directions
What the audit changes
Protect what works
Identify the parts of the experience already carrying the promise so the team does not redesign its strengths away.
Expose the real risks
Separate critical player and production problems from polish issues, personal preferences and background noise.
Move forward
Leave with a prioritized roadmap of what to change, test, cut, clarify or investigate next.
What I can review
- Player promise and creative vision
- Core gameplay loop and controls
- Onboarding and early player journey
- Progression, economy and monetization
- Feature coherence and system dependencies
- Scope, production risks and documentation

Good fit if…
- You can share a playable build or meaningful materials.
- The team is willing to challenge existing assumptions.
- You need decisions, not external validation.
Probably not the right fit if…
- You only need QA bug reporting.
- The desired conclusion is already fixed.
- No one on the team can act on the recommendations.
