Work closely with story writers and designers to implement graphics, dialogue choices, and gameplay elements.

We’d love to have you on board if you:
Have solid experience with JavaScript/TypeScript.
Are comfortable and experienced in working with Vue.js.
Enjoy collaborative work and are communicative, proactive, and reliable.

Familiarity with REST APIs and database technologies (NestJS, PostgreSQL).

A part of the game will feature a small interactive 2D mini-game embedded in the browser. Our current plan is to implement it in JavaScript for easy frontend integration. However, if you have expertise in another framework or language that supports HTML5 export, we'd love to explore that with you!
