Narrative Designer

You have a way with words and a burning passion for crafting unforgettable game narratives. Developing complex stories, building immersive worlds, and writing engaging dialogue is your bread and butter - and the games you've shipped prove it!

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.

We are looking for someone like you to join us in our offices in Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Sarajevo, or remotely.

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