Zach (Jason)

Hi! I’m Zach Aars, an independent creator and storyteller with a background in game development, writing, and analog horror. I run The Orchard Files, a passion project exploring unsettling stories through a mix of traditional techniques and emerging technologies like AI. I handle scripting, editing, world-building, and art direction—essentially, everything except the voices (which is where you come in!).

Hi, I’m Zach Aars — a creative developer, writer, and storyteller with a passion for immersive worlds and emotional narratives. I specialize in game development, voice direction, and multimedia storytelling, blending traditional craft with modern tools like AI and interactive media. I enjoy experimenting with new formats, whether it’s through video, fiction, or design, and I’m always looking for ways to push boundaries and bring compelling ideas to life. When I’m not creating, I’m usually learning something new or helping others bring their visions to reality.
