The name of the project(s): Unannounced rock-horror story-driven game
At what stage of the project(s)? Prototype / Vertical Slice
We are a small independent game team building an unannounced rock-horror story-driven game in Unreal Engine 5.
The project sits at the intersection of games, horror, cinematic storytelling, and rock / metal culture. We are currently building a focused prototype / vertical slice, so the work is practical, hands-on, and visible quickly in the build.
We are creating custom stylized-realistic characters, not generic default MetaHumans, while using a MetaHuman-compatible Unreal workflow for body animation, facial animation, mocap, Control Rig, Sequencer, and technical handoff. This is a good fit for artists who want to combine strong character art with real UE5 / MetaHuman production work.
The team is small, so good work has direct impact on the look and quality of the project. You will work directly with the project leads, with fast feedback, clear short-term goals, and a paid test before committing to larger work.




We keep scope realistic for a vertical slice and use remote freelance collaboration. If the test goes well, there is room to continue on character production and help define a repeatable pipeline for future characters.
