Historical Consultant for Video Games

Cultures, factions, religions and histories built from primary sources into a lore bible your writers, designers and community team can actually use.

Historical and mythological review of quests, dialogue trees and codex entries. Accuracy where it matters, invention where it is fun.

Old Norse, Old English, Latin and Old Irish barks, chants, songs and inscriptions, with pronunciation notes for voice actors.

Runic and manuscript-style text for environments, items and interfaces, so players who pause and translate find something real.

Enemies and creatures with real roots in folklore and the medieval bestiary, ready for codex entries players will actually read.

Reference and review for art teams: dress, objects, buildings and symbols that fit the period and the people.

Viking sagas, Arthurian quests, Celtic otherworlds, folk horror and dark fantasy: the periods and traditions we know best. Dr. Acken has also worked as an art director and creative director in game design, so he speaks your studio's language.

Ongoing lore support across seasons, sequels and DLC, so new content stays consistent with the world you have already built.

For periods and cultures beyond our core, we connect your studio with specialist historians and linguists matched to the brief.
