About DRAMA STUDIOS

DRAMA STUDIOS is an independent game studio based in Rennes, France. We focus on creating immersive, gameplay-driven experiences through close collaboration between design, art, and technology.

About UNRECORD

DRAMA STUDIOS is currently developing UNRECORD, a narrative open-world tactical FPS built with Unreal Engine 5.

UNRECORD aims to deliver a highly immersive experience through realism, systemic gameplay, and a strong narrative approach. The project sits at an AA ambition level, combining creative freedom with solid production pipelines and technical rigor.

Our goal is to craft believable worlds, meaningful player interactions, and gameplay systems that feel grounded, intense, and coherent.

THE ROLE

You write and produce the narrative content of UNRECORD: mission and quest text, character and faction material, lore, and dialogue. You work within the creative direction set by the leads, turning their intentions into concrete, well-written content, rather than defining that direction yourself.

You collaborate closely with the level and narrative design team, who integrate your content in engine, so that writing and gameplay reinforce each other. You focus on producing the writing, they handle the in-engine scripting.

Regular on-site presence is expected. Partial remote work is possible.
