Backstory
Three days into the city-wide power outage, Jemuel Okoro realized he'd rather spend hours hand-drawing dungeon maps by candlelight than face a world without his digital realms. The blackout had started when he sacrificed his own save file to preserve his younger sister Lily's months of progress—a split-second decision that somehow unlocked his understanding of what gaming truly meant to him. His teacher parents found him that week in their Meadowgrove backyard, orchestrating elaborate live-action campaigns with neighborhood kids using nothing but sticks, stones, and the epic stories spilling from his ever-present notebook. Years later, when he moved to the city for college, his roommate would discover him recreating those same handcrafted adventures in digital form, building the indie games that had grown from those powerless nights. His controller collection now spans three decades, but he still keeps that original dusty one from the blackout—the gateway between his two worlds.
