Adam Mirkowski

Senior Game Designer
My goal is to create entertainment that’s genuinely worth people’s time and leaves a positive impact.
I love games for their unique ability to blend diverse fields and inspirations—literature, music, film, history, psychology, and sports—all of which can be rich sources of ideas for designing and writing games.
I have been making games professionally for over 8 years, primarily as a game designer (Frostpunk 2, Hellcard, 911 Operator).
