THE MISSION
Pocket Souls is not just another game, it's a living experiment where AI-driven companions evolve alongside players. Every Soul grows, remembers, and connects in ways that feel deeply personal. We're crafting a game that blends emotional depth, playful mechanics, and social interactions into something players return to every day.
THE ROLE
You'll be one of the core builders turning design and AI concepts into interactive experiences inside Unity. From core gameplay loops to immersive UI/UX, your work will make Souls feel alive and responsive. This isn't about cookie-cutter Unity projects, it's about pushing what's possible when AI, art, and gameplay collide.
You'll collaborate closely with designers, artists, and backend engineers to deliver seamless, polished player experiences. You'll experiment, iterate fast, and ship features that make Pocket Souls feel magical.

- • Core gameplay systems where AI Souls interact, learn, and evolve
- • UI/UX flows that make complex AI features intuitive for players
- • Smooth character control, animations, and emotional feedback loops
