About Alexander Pinera

Industry Focus

I am a horror writer with an interest in finding new ways to scare. While I dream of writing my perfect horror story, I am a jack-of-all-trades writer who can adapt to anything whether it be writing to entertain, inform, or educate. 

Favorite Games

Dead Rising, Undertale, and Slay the Princess are only a few of my favorite games. Dead Island 2 is quickly rising the ranks and Baldur's Gate 3 is a fascinating title that has gotten me into Dungeons and Dragons. 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

I have accomplished many gaming feats such as completing every Call of Duty campaign on Veteran, to completing the national dex in Pokemon Platinum. However, my proudest gaming achievement is playing Dead Rising (2006) for 14 Hours straight to achieve the 7-Day Survivor achievement on Xbox 360. Even the infamous red ring of death could not stop me.
