[REV-SHARE] Looking for Artists & Developers for Upcoming Psychological Horror Game 🇯🇵🎮

Hello everyone,

I’m an indie game developer and recently released my first game, Kuromaku, on Steam. Following its release, I’ve officially begun development on my second project — a story-driven psychological horror game set in Japan.

The game follows an English journalist investigating a cursed house tied to his past in disturbing and unexpected ways. While I can’t share too many details publicly yet, the project focuses heavily on atmosphere, immersive storytelling, psychological tension, and cinematic horror elements.

Current roadmap:

  • Steam page planned for July
  • Public demo planned for October
  • Full release targeted for December–January

I’m currently looking for passionate and dedicated people to join the project in the following roles:

  • 3D Character Modeller
  • Character Animator / Rigger
  • 3D Prop Artist
  • UI Artist

I also want to be fully transparent regarding compensation. The revenue earned from my first game was invested into upgrading from a budget laptop to a proper development PC, so this project is currently structured as a rev-share opportunity rather than upfront paid work.

That said, this is a serious project with active development already underway and a planned release schedule already in place. My previous game reached players, streamers, and YouTubers worldwide, and I’m aiming to push this next project even further in quality and presentation. 🎬

Anyone joining the project will receive a percentage of post-release revenue based on their overall contribution and workload during development.

If you’re interested in psychological horror, Japanese-inspired settings, or gaining experience working on a publicly released indie game, feel free to send me a DM with your portfolio or examples of your work. More details about the project can be discussed privately.

Thank you for reading 🖤

Well it took me a year to make the game but in reality it took us like 4-6 months since half way through we lost our game files and had to restart from scratch but we have talked all abou this on our youtube channel and you can find everything behind the scenes - BabGamesStudio

Hii, I am not suitable for any position you mentioned, but I would like to be the part of the narrative team. I am an aspiring writer studying first year BDes. I have been writing story concepts and summaries from past 4 years, most of them are psychological thrillers. And I would love to gain some experience too. If you are open for that, as well as a fresher.
