Choose Your Door…

Door A: The Safe Hallway 🐇

Fluoro lights. Endless standups. PRs that wait… and wait.

Door B: The Rabbit Hole 🐇

A Chatswood

game studio building international titles

—prototypes turn playable in days. UI states sparkle, pipelines ping, and designers ask, “Can this menu feel… curiouser?” You smile, open your editor, and React.

into a

state machine and shipping via CI/CD. You’ll work

in game development

on projects played by audiences around the world.
