Ghost Story Games is seeking a cinematic narrative scripter for its latest venture, described to be a ‘creatively ambitious project in the immersive sim genre.’ (via OnlySP).
Ghost Story Games was previously Irrational Games, the studio behind two of the BioShock games, Freedom Force, SWAT 4, and System Shock 2. It was founded by three former employees of Thief developer Looking Glass Studios: Ken Levine, Jonathan Chey, and Robert Fermier. Levine was integral to the development and success of BioShock, and though the company passed on BioShock 2, he was the creative director and lead writer on BioShock Infinite and Burial at Sea.
As Ghost Story Games, the studio will be ‘dedicated to making immersive story driven games for gamers that like a challenge.’ This particular project has been in the early stages of production since 2017, but good things come to those who wait, or so I have been told. The developer is currently looking for a cinematic narrative scripter who would produce ‘systemic and scripted narrative events’ for an ‘immersive sim.’
This job opportunity serves as a reminder that Ghost Story Games is chugging along on its new game, though it will be some time before we hear anything concrete about the project.
