For around five years, Nina has been working with teams of programmers and graphic artists to be able to create exceptionally personal games about relationships and sex. She came into the limelight with a game called “How Do You Do It”.
The game is all about a little girl who plays with her Barbie dolls while her mom is out, trying to find out how do grown-ups “do it”, the player will be controlling this event of course. Nina also created a game called “Ladylike”, where you try to control a conversation between a teenage girl and her mom, during a drive to a mall.
Anything you say about boyfriends, school, sex and clothes, the mom would always disapprove—clearly a different game to play, even in real life.

According to Nina, these games were all based on her true to life stories. How To Do It and Ladylike were games that had been inspired by her childhood experiences. For her, gaming is like poetry.

“When I started making games, my main inspirations were poets. Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “In the Waiting Room” was my main inspiration for making Ladylike and How Do You Do It?, which are games about my childhood. Once I started making games, though, I discovered other game designers who were also interested in these vignette-style games. Games like Dys4ia and Gone Home are two of these games that really inspired me to make more vignette games about very human, honest characters.” Nina said, when asked on an interview who she was inspired by when she says gaming is like poetry.

In November 2015, Nina released a new game named “Cibele”. It’s an intimately personal, multilayered narrative game that has caught the intrigue of many.
It is a game based on a true story about love, sex, and the internet.
The player will be playing a role of a 19-year old girl who became close to a young man whom she met through an online game.
The two becomes closer and their relationship heats up with each phone call and private chat.
This game, of course, was based on one of Nina’s experiences. It all started when she was 16. She met an older guy named Blake through Final Fantasy—a popular online game—gaming community. After numerous phone calls, flirty chats, and sexy selfies, Blake flew across the country to turn their online fantasy into a reality in Nina’s New York dorm room.
Nina is very passionate about incorporating her personal experiences into her game design. She wants to be able to create and add a more feminine touch to her video games. By sharing stories about her sex life, she hopes to be able to define her sexuality, career and inspire other women to be able to be the hero of their own life stories.
