Lead Game Designer

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

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Game Designer who will take ownership of the game design vision and be responsible for shaping the core gameplay experience.

This is a hands-on design role, focused on creating and maintaining clear, structured design documentation, defining systems, and ensuring a cohesive player experience across the project.

What You Will Do

• Design core gameplay mechanics and define the overall player experience.
• Create and maintain game design documentation (GDDs, feature specs, system descriptions).
• Structure and document gameplay systems, progression, and player interactions.
• Design and describe interactive sequences, logic flows, and narrative-driven gameplay elements.
• Collaborate closely with the team (developers, artists, narrative designers) to ensure correct implementation of design.

Requirements

• Strong experience in Game Design / Systems Design.
• Proven ability to write clear and structured design documentation.
• Experience working on adventure, narrative, or RPG projects (or strong passion for the genre).
• Deep understanding of player experience, game systems, and progression design.
• Ability to work independently, make decisions, and take ownership.
• Strong communication skills and ability to align the team around design vision.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with interactive storytelling and nonlinear narrative structures.
• Understanding of RPG systems, dialogue systems, or progression mechanics.
• Basic familiarity with Unreal Engine or other game engines.

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.
