Octo Games is a young and dynamic GameDev studio that has been successfully bringing its projects to life since 2017. Our team specializes in developing exciting PC games for the Steam platform. Over this time, we have assembled a team of over 80 talented individuals, but we are confident that this is just the beginning of our journey.

We have experienced significant growth over the past year, and we continue to actively develop new games and expand our staff. Our games are developed using the Unity engine, with our primary genre being adult visual novels. To date, we have released over 100 games and are always striving to grow further.

As we continue to expand, we are always on the lookout for new talents. We are currently seeking an Assistant to join our team, someone who can become the right hand of our Head of Development, free up their time, and assist in solving day-to-day tasks.

  3. Mini Test Task: Candidates who impress us during the call will be invited to complete a mini test task. Don’t worry—this task will be simple and may involve verbal discussion. It's designed to assess your problem-solving skills and approach to tasks.
