Fantastic Beasts: Cases from the Wizarding World

---

A big project at Mediatonic some time back, Fantastic Beasts: Cases from the Wizarding World was a narrative-driven hidden object game that came out around the same time as the first film in that new series. It was a big deal, as it was (I believe) the first game to contain completely new stories and characters within the Wizarding World franchise.

Although I was working on other projects at the time, I lent the writing team a hand by writing all of the dialogue for Case 11 in the game -- I was given a story outline and a flow diagram and had to write and implement all of the scenes. When that went well (and my other project finished) I was working on the outline for a new case to be added post-launch, until live ops content production was paused and I exited the project.

Fun fact: all of the characters in the game are based on the likeness of Mediatonic staff. I appear in a late case in drag as a member of the Wizengamot, which I guess are like the Supreme Court of the Wizarding World. I wonder what JK Rowling would make of that these days?
