DAVE GILBERT has been interested in adventure games ever since 1986, when his mother made the mistake of buying him a copy of Wishbringer. In 2001 he took his first dip into game creation in when he discovered the Reality on the Norm Project and wrote his first short game. Since then, he has authored over six successful freeware games, including 2004's award-winning Two of a Kind. In 2006, he turned his hobby into a fulltime career and founded Wadjet Eye Games.
