The role will have broad influence, from contextualising our gameplay, to defining the game’s ‘voice’, to directing our writing team to deliver a strong core story.


We are looking for a candidate who is willing to explore avenues that put more of the story into the player’s hands while still delivering on narrative beats that contextualise and motivate the actions of our player and the character they are playing.

REQUIREMENTS
