Hi, I'm Chris Klimas.

I'm a Baltimore-based web developer, game designer, and writer that finds the intersection of words and interactivity irresistible.

I created Twine and now work on it with a group of brilliant people all over the world.

I'm also a principal at Unmapped Path, a studio I cofounded that creates digital interactive narratives.
