Lead Game Designer

Apply for this job

We’re after a Lead Game Designer who can keep the design vision sharp, the team on track, and the workflows running smooth. You’ll guide a crew of talented designers, jump into hands-on tasks when needed, and help shape everything from quests to progression systems. You know how to give good feedback, juggle priorities, and keep everyone looped in without a million meetings. If you’ve got a solid background in game design (bonus points for RPGs), head for leadership and a heart for teamwork, and a love for building great player experiences, then let's dive in.

We are unconventional creators of action games for PC and consoles - extremely fun to work with and definitely not for the faint-hearted.

For over a decade, we pioneered the local game dev scene, driven by the ambition to become the regional game dev leader.


On that quest, we pave our way with exciting games developed in Unreal Engine. Our latest released title, Scars Above, is a challenging and immersive 3rd-person sci-fi shooter set in a mysterious alien world. Currently, we’re developing Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival - a first-person action horror survival game based on the beloved franchise. Alongside that, we’re working on an unannounced AAA title set in a famous and beloved IP that fans are sure to anticipate. While we can't reveal too much just yet, we can promise these titles will push the boundaries of regional game development and generate some serious hype.

If everything said above ticks all your boxes so far, read on! We might be a match made in heaven!
