A project-based role focused on uniting narrative and game mechanics.

• Ensure all narrative content aligns with the game’s established vision and tone.
• Work closely with game design to create solutions where story and mechanics support each other.
• Document, structure, and communicate narrative work in a clear and practical way.
• Follow up on deliveries and contribute to story continuity in a fast-paced production environment.

• Solid knowledge of how to develop and maintain IP in larger projects.
• Strong communication skills and a structured way of working.
• Experience writing for contextual, nonlinear storytelling integrated with gameplay.

Bonuses
