ABOUT ME

YASMEEN GHANIM
GAME DESIGNER // SYSTEMS · MECHANICS · PROTOTYPING

Hiya! I'm Yasmeen Ghanim, and I am a full-blown, card-carrying, sleep-is-optional game fanatic. Games aren't a hobby for me, they're the whole obsession: my passion, my fuel, and, I will die on this hill, the ultimate form of art.

Think about it, games are the one place where storytelling, music, and drawing all crash into each other and become playable. Every other art form makes you watch. Games make you do. And once that clicked for me, there was no going back, I was gone, fully, gleefully, permanently hooked.

So I tear games apart to see what makes them tick, then build my own to see if I can make that magic happen on purpose. It's compulsive. It's a little unhinged. I've made peace with it, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

GAME TEARDOWNS

R.E.P.O. cover
CO-OP EXTRACTION HORROR // 2024
R.E.P.O.
Fragile physics turns every clumsy team into a comedy clip, and every clip into free reach. 20M copies say it works.
VIEW TEARDOWN →
Five Nights cover
POINT-AND-CLICK HORROR // 2014-2015
FIVE NIGHTS 1-4
One room, one threat, one verb, swapped four times in a year. A masterclass in doing more with almost nothing.
VIEW TEARDOWN →
The Classrooms cover
LIMINAL FOUND-FOOTAGE HORROR // 2022
THE CLASSROOMS
The camcorder is your eyes, your resource, and your lifeline, all draining at once. Watching becomes a gamble.

Risk of Rain 2 cover
ROGUELITE 3RD-PERSON SHOOTER // 2019
RISK OF RAIN 2
Every second alive makes the world deadlier. The clock is the enemy, and the whole build is a race against it.
