Game Director

We are building a story-driven, cinematic Adventure RPG released in episodic format, blending narrative depth with painterly visuals. The project features unique gameplay mechanics, a spiral narrative structure, and stylized realistic characters.

About the Role

We are looking for a Game Director who will become the key specialist responsible for creating all core gameplay mechanics, systems, and prototypes.

This is a hands-on role: we need someone who can not only design systems, but also build them, test them, iterate, troubleshoot, and bring them to a fully functioning state.

What You Will Do

• Design gameplay mechanics, describe systems, and shape the structure of the overall player experience.
• Work closely with the Event Prediction System and help integrate it into the core gameplay loop.
• Build interactive sequences, logical chains, and gameplay interactions for an adventure-RPG experience.
• Contribute to the creation of point-and-click navigation, interactive scenes, skill-based systems, and RPG-style attributes.
• Regularly test gameplay on your own, identify weak points, and suggest improvements.
• Initially work fully hands-on; after Greenlight, help build and mentor a small game design team.

Requirements

• Strong experience in Technical Game Design and Gameplay Design.
• Confident work with Unreal Engine 5, especially Blueprints.
• Ability to independently assemble and test prototypes.
• Experience with adventure / narrative / RPG projects or genuine passion for the genre.
• Understanding of interactive storytelling structures and nonlinear experience design.
• Ability to work autonomously, make decisions quickly, and deliver results.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Understanding of turn-based combat systems, dialogue systems, or RPG mechanics.
• Experience with systems design, gameplay flow creation, and scene logic planning.
• Basic understanding of working with animations in UE5.

What We Offer

• A chance to become a key contributor to a unique project built in an unconventional format.
• Direct influence on core mechanics, structure, and gameplay flow.
• Work in a small, passionate, highly autonomous team.
• A project with secured funding for the demo phase and strong ambitions for full production.
• Creative freedom and ownership over your part of the game.
• Fully remote work.
