Game Designer / Narrative Architect – Co-Creator Role (EdTech | AI | VR/AR | SEL)

📍 Remote | 💼 Equity-Based + Token Incentive | 🧠 Mental Health & Children’s Wellbeing | Board-Level Opportunity

We’re building a next-generation AI-powered emotional resilience platform for children (ages 4–17), blending narrative-based gameplay, immersive VR/AR scenarios, and therapeutic mechanics grounded in SEL, CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness.

Imagine Inside Out meets Duolingo meets Stardew Valley — designed not for engagement metrics, but for emotional growth.

The product is already supported by a proven methodology, early architecture, and a multi-disciplinary team (psychologists, educators, engineers, designers). We're now entering the next phase: building our MVP and preparing for seed funding.

We're looking for a Game Designer with creative leadership potential to join us at this pivotal stage — someone who could eventually take a Board-level or even co-founder role, and help shape the emotional logic and gamification layer of our product.

🔍 What You’ll Be Doing

• A modular, emotionally intelligent game system that grows with children across age groups.
• Symbolic, therapeutic mechanics using narrative, VR/AR immersion, and psychological micro-interventions.
• A design framework that emphasizes emotional safety, meaningful interaction, and intrinsic motivation (not addictive loops).
• A flexible universe (think: emotional quests, metaphoric worlds, evolving challenges) within a mascot-centric IP.
• Core systems that balance story, agency, and therapeutic depth in collaboration with psychologists, educators, and AI engineers.

🧩 You Might Be a Fit If You:

• A narrative or systems game designer with 5+ years of experience, ideally in RPGs, interactive fiction, or edutainment.
• Someone who understands child psychology, cognitive development, or simply has strong intuitive empathy for younger audiences.
• A builder of emotionally-aware systems, who thinks in metaphors, world-logic, symbolic transformation, and rhythm.
• Possibly employed elsewhere — but looking for a meaning-driven, high-impact side project that could evolve into a core role.
• Open to working part-time initially (flexible and async-friendly), with long-term equity ownership and creative leadership.

✨ What’s In It For You:

• An early position in a fast-growing venture with global potential (Poland > UK > US/Canada > Japan/South Korea).
• Founding-level equity in the company and future token incentives (Web3-ready IP).
• Deep collaboration with a visionary team of psychologists, technologists, and educators.
• Freedom to co-shape a new category: therapeutic games for the emotionally overwhelmed generation.
• A potential Board Advisor, Creative Director, or Co-Founder title, depending on your availability and vision alignment.

📬 How to apply:

Please reach out via LinkedIn with:

• A short message about what drew you to this idea

• Anything else that helps us understand how you think about games + emotions + systems

We’re especially interested in work that involves:

• Emotional storytelling or character-driven design
• Therapeutic or educational game mechanics
• Immersive worldbuilding or symbolic interaction systems
