About Wise Monkey Entertainment

We’re an independent game studio in London creating charming, witty, story-driven games. Our debut title No Stone Unturned is a detective game about a world of animal sleuths, set in a giant pub built around the mystery of why the chicken crossed the road. The answer may be more absurd and dark than it first seems…

• Build and polish game UI and interaction flows
• Support the integration of narrative, sound and art content

• Assist with integrating sound and music into gameplay
• Prototype new ideas and contribute creatively to game design
• Identify and troubleshoot bugs and performance issues across platforms
• Participate in playtests and iterate on player feedback
• Learn and upskill quickly in a fast-paced passionate indie team

What we offer:

• £25k–£35k salary depending on experience
• Opportunities to take ownership and develop your skills across the project
• Central London studio (hybrid options can be discussed)
• A role on a game that’s a bit different — and a bit absurd — in the best way
