Cinematic Narrative Scripter, Ghost Story Games (via Take-Two Interactive)
Location: Westwood, Massachusetts
ABOUT GHOST STORY GAMES
Ghost Story Games (formerly known as Irrational Games) is a self-publishing game studio owned by Take-Two Interactive. Our mission is simple: to create immersive, story-driven video games for people who love games that ask something of them.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A talented Cinematic Scripter with recent Unreal 4 (or similar visual scripting) experience. In this role, you are responsible for fully implementing both systemic and scripted narrative events. You work across several disciplines to create engaging cinematics.
WHAT WE OFFER
The opportunity to work on a creatively ambitious project in the immersive sim genre.
A world-class team of less than 40 people. We are committed to making games that we judge by quality, not arbitrary timeliness. We are proud to be home to some of the most talented, smartest, nicest and hardest-working colleagues. We make mistakes sometimes, but we help each other by finding mistakes early and depending on each other to fix them quickly.
Open Communication: Our team members are welcome to join any meeting, and we have a mostly flat structure. Do you have a question or a concern? Just walk up (or Slack) anyone and ask! Team-based decision making is important to us, regardless of your position – every opinion counts and is considered.
Great Place to Work® has certified our workplace culture. At Ghost Story Games, 91 percent of employees say their workplace is great.

REQUIREMENTS
5+ years of development experience in the game industry with recent hands-on implementation experience.
At least one shipped title recognized for its strong narrative and/or mission design, to which you contributed.
