Description:

We’re seeking a Game Writer who can build worlds from the inside out — someone who understands that a single journal entry, mural, or whispered line can deepen immersion and define a universe. You’ll be responsible for writing branching dialogue, questlines, and in-game narratives that adapt to player actions. You’ll write quests, item descriptions, NPC dialogue, and in-world documents that players discover through exploration. We’ll count on you to work closely with environment artists and level designers to deliver environmental storytelling that feels intentional and alive. You’ll contribute to narrative systems that allow story fragments to unfold gradually, rewarding curiosity and attention. You’ll build rich backstories, world histories, and quest arcs that support immersion and drive exploration. You’ll support cinematic scenes with scripts that respect camera timing, voice pacing, and performance needs. We’ll rely on you to punch up boring lines, remove the fluff, and make everything feel alive, reactive, and intentional. You’ll also work with VO directors and localization partners to ensure lines land emotionally across cultures and performances.

Basic Qualifications:

• Stay current on storytelling trends in games, film, and interactive media.
• Help shape emotional player experiences through dialogue pacing, choice consequences, and environmental storytelling.
• Playtest the game regularly to ensure the narrative feels smooth and engaging in context.
• Ensure consistency in tone, character voice, and story logic across different parts of the game.
• Develop branching narratives, quests, and outcomes that react to player choices.

Preferred:

• Open to iterating story content based on gameplay changes, level design feedback, or QA testing outcomes.
• Knows how to write text that supports gameplay clarity without overwhelming the player.
• Background or passion in creative writing, screenwriting, game design, or storytelling for interactive media.
• Pays attention to narrative consistency, lore logic, and emotional tone across the entire player journey.
• Values interactivity, emotional depth, and player engagement in every story decision.

Benefits:

• Write from anywhere — a dark cave, a cozy café, or your gamer throne.
• Feedback is kind, direct, and nerdy — just how writers like it.
• We build worlds together — your lore becomes part of the canon.
• Flexible hours — the muse doesn’t run on a 9-to-5 schedule.
• Mental health check-ins and days off when your plot twist hits *you* too hard.

You’ll explore themes like grief, power, identity, love, or guilt — and make them interactive, not just written. You’ll assist with naming conventions, in-world writing (signage, books, graffiti), and narrative assets used throughout the game. You should be comfortable using narrative design tools and working in nonlinear, branching systems. You should be confident working in branching tools, narrative spreadsheets, and with voice and localization pipelines. You’ll edit and rewrite frequently, collaborating with gameplay teams to adapt to evolving mechanics and priorities. We value writers who are flexible, collaborative, and open to iteration based on gameplay needs and design shifts. If you believe storytelling in games is interactive, reactive, and deeply human — this is the world we want to build with you. Let’s create interactive stories that don’t just entertain, but leave a mark.
