Job description

Rare Castle is an independent game studio driven by a bold, transformative vision: to create games that heal. we believe games can do more than entertain — they can mend the soul, cultivate calm, and inspire hope.

While horror games often thrill us with fear, we imagine something different: cinematic, story-driven experiences that guide players toward self-discovery, resilience, and emotional well-being. Our games are crafted with the same meticulous artistry as the most gripping horror titles — but instead of nightmares, we create spaces for reflection, growth, and inner peace, all brought to life with stunning, photorealistic visuals.

At Rare Castle, we are redefining what games can be. Join us as we build immersive worlds that spark curiosity, soothe the spirit, and leave a lasting, positive impact.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate development efforts across departments — design, art, animation, sound, and engineering — to ensure alignment with the game vision and production goals.
• Track and manage production schedules, task breakdowns, and milestone planning using tools like Trello, or any alternatives.
• Facilitate clear communication between creative and technical teams; be the bridge that turns ideas into deliverables.
• Identify production risks, remove roadblocks, and keep everyone on pace and focused.
• Work closely with the Creative Director to preserve the narrative and emotional integrity of the game throughout the production process.
• Encourage a sustainable, collaborative, and emotionally healthy workflow environment — especially in a remote, indie setting.
• Support documentation, retrospectives, and production reports to track progress and iterate on processes.

Requirements

• Previous experience producing or managing tasks on a video game (can be indie, student, mod, or personal project).
• Strong organizational and communication skills — you can turn chaos into clarity.
• Ability to lead with empathy, transparency, and flexibility, especially in a small and evolving team.
• Familiarity with game development workflows, pipelines, and departments (Unreal Engine knowledge is a big plus).
• Passion for narrative-driven, emotionally engaging games that challenge the norm.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable managing remote, asynchronous collaboration.

Nice to have

• Experience in Agile/Scrum or similar methodologies.
• A love for psychological thrillers, surreal experiences, or emotionally impactful storytelling.
• Familiarity with tools like Asana, Perforce, or UE5 source control integration.

What We Offer

• Creative Freedom: The chance to shape the visual storytelling of a unique, cinematic indie game and leave your artistic fingerprint on every scene.
• A Collaborative Environment: Work directly with a passionate founder and a small, dedicated team that values experimentation, curiosity, and open dialogue.
• Professional Growth: Build your portfolio with high-quality, real-time lighting work, and deepen your skills in a supportive, artist-driven setting.
• Flexible, Remote Work: Contribute from anywhere in the world on a schedule that fits your life.
• A Meaningful Mission: Be part of a studio redefining what games can be — creating experiences that heal, inspire, and leave a lasting emotional impact.
