THEFREEINDEPENDENT CREATOR / VR EXPLORER / AI ENTHUSIAST
BEYOND
THE SCREEN.
Old-school soul. New dimensions.
I’m Mike. I make games, build VR mods, and take
familiar worlds somewhere new.
01 / SELECTED WORK
Into the unknown.
A different way to play.
A new world to get lost in.
FEATURED PROJECT
Fear hits different
when you’re there.
The original F.E.A.R. campaign, brought into virtual reality. Step inside a familiar nightmare.
Enter F.E.A.R. VR ↗02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAT
A little curiosity.
A lot of late nights.
I’m Mike, the creator behind TheFreeMike, a VR explorer and an AI enthusiast. I’m drawn to atmospheric worlds, old-school games, and the feeling of stepping into something you’ve only ever seen on a screen.
This is home for the things I make and the worlds I explore. From F.E.A.R. VR to RavenWoods, the idea is simple: make something I’d want to play, and share it.
I’m excited by what people can make with AI. Codex is my creative and engineering partner on F.E.A.R. VR and this website, and I want that collaboration to be visible.

Made together.
Openly.
THEFREEMIKE × CODEX
AI is part of how I create, and I’m proud of that. This website was designed and coded in collaboration with Codex, OpenAI’s AI coding assistant. I bring the vision, visual references, feedback, and final decisions; Codex turns those ideas into layouts, code, and working iterations.
Our work on F.E.A.R. VR follows the same spirit: I lead the project, shape gameplay and comfort, and test in the headset. Codex contributes substantial engineering, debugging, tooling, and documentation. Together, we iterate on what actually works.
