Vile Monarch, a hard rock games studio from Warsaw, is looking for someone who knows how to spark joy (and/or enjoys sparks). Currently, more than 65 royal followers reign in the studio, including veterans (who worked on This War of Mine, The Witcher series, Dying Light or Hard West), that in 6 years worked on 5 different games, conquering PC, Android, iOS, PS4, Xbox One and Switch.

• Growing Up - upcoming life sim with visual novel elements, standing out with its unique art and mature take on childhood/parenting
• Weedcraft Inc - ambitious tycoon game about the marijuana industry
• Oh...Sir! The Insult Simulator series - hit party game based on building absurd sentences and its movie-inspired spin-off
• Crush Your Enemies - multiplatform bite-sized RTS

Vile Monarch feeds on creativity - we love making fresh things of different sizes, for different platforms, in different genres. We focus on compelling fantasies served through expertly designed game systems. Currently we’re working on several unannounced titles: each very different, there’s realism and fantasy among them, humor and maturity, 3D art and 2D. The biggest one is an ambitious city builder!
