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.

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.

You will build the gameplay layer of UNRECORD : the moment to moment mechanics that make the bodycam experience feel grounded and believable, and the underlying systems that support them.

You will work in C++ and Blueprints within Unreal Engine 5, in close collaboration with game designers, level designers and animators, turning design intentions into robust, maintainable features. Regular on site presence is expected. Partial remote work is possible.
