"Bartholomew.exe" is a maze thriller built on a core mechanic of power reversal. You are trapped in a shifting labyrinth where reality exists in two states:
​
In the Nightmare, you are powerless prey, hiding from a monstrous hunter in the dark. In the Dream, you become the hunter, armed with a revolver to turn the tables on your pursuer.
​
Survival depends on mastering the shift between terror and control.

About Me
Hi, my name is Teo Qerimi, I'm a 21 year old graduate game designer. I hold a "First Class" diploma from my time studying games design at University of Staffordshire - London.
​
I'm beyond excited about my next steps as a game designer, and to pursue this passion in a professional setting, where I hope to continue develop and enhance my abilities and skills, while also meaningfully contribute to the team and project with a fresh perspective, enthusiasm, and a strong spirit of collaboration to help achieve the best possible product.
​
I enjoy so much about the entire process of developing a video game, from the artistry to the technicality involved, and I've been part of both in my time at university and outside, including solo and collaborative projects. My passion for video games as a medium was sparked from quite early on, and to this day it continues to drive me.
​
Some of my favourite games are Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Metal Gear Solid, Return of the Obra Dinn, Elden Ring and more.
