  • Review and give feedback on core systems, pacing, dialogue, UI/UX, and quests
  • Lead creative brainstorms, pitch documents, and milestone reviews
  • Ensure every feature or asset reinforces the game's tone, purpose, and immersion


Requirements

  • Experience shipping at least one AAA or high-quality PC/console game
  • Strong vision and taste across game design, worldbuilding, and narrative
