Middle 2D Artist (Merge-2 game)

You will be working on a mobile merge-2 game set in the vibrant and adventurous world of the 1970s, blending classic merge mechanics with story-driven exploration and mystery solving.

This is an adventurer’s paradise: dusty excavation sites, forgotten ruins, and lost artifacts waiting to be pieced together. But curious events are also unfolding in the present — cryptic clues, hidden agendas, and a trail of secrets stretching from forgotten civilizations to modern-day conspiracies. Join a passionate archaeologist and her sharp-witted journalist companion as they dive headfirst into the unknown, decoding the past to save the present — one merge at a time.
