Unmaking, Unmade
YOU CAN'T PAUSE NOW.
Manipulate an eerie videotape and confront a dangerous infatuation by rewinding, fast-forwarding, and pausing the tape to alter its contents and reshape the fate of your love. TUnmaking, Unmade was selectedas Judges' Choice in the Sub-Q Love Jam and was published in the February 2019 issue of Sub-Q Magazine. It was also exhibited at WordPlay 2019. FREE DOWNLOAD |

My work has been featured in Sub-Q Magazine, Indiepocalypse, PAX Online, WordPlay, and elsewhere, and I've worked independently for clients representing National Geographic and Boston University, among others. I also developed and designed the interactive trailer for the novel Sixteen Horses (2021), and my independent game Heretic's Hope won two XYZZY awards in 2019.

Even in the most Lovecraftian, rich descriptions of arcane deities and strange beings, the prose's focus is upon how it might feel to emotionally live within such a world. [...] Thoroughly recommended.
Greg Buchanan, author of Sixteen Horses and writer for No Man's Sky |
Devotionalia manages to pull off a feat that is difficult for any artwork in any form: It's emotionally powerful and yet ambiguous enough to allow for multiple interpretations.
Mike Spivey |
Music, darkness, melancholy, the unknowably alien, and the space to absorb them. That’s the mood which Devotionalia is after, and it skewers it like a moth on a specimen-board.

G.C "GRIM" BACCARIS
ABOUT
I'm G.C. "Grim" Baccaris, and I'm an interactive fiction developer, Mediterranean classicist, narrative designer, and writer. I have a degree in English Literature and Classical & Near Eastern Civilizations. When I'm not writing or in a trench looking for pot sherds, I might be huffing poisonous liqueurs, consumed with existential dread, or unconscious. I'm influenced by an interest in the uncanny and grotesque, as well as ritual, masks, and the gruesome and macabre. Themes of body horror, autonomy, and dignity are recurring elements in the narratives I create. |
