3D Artist

Join Our Vision for Dead Arisen: A Dark Fantasy Journey Beyond Tradition

At TWii, we are not just building games; we are crafting immersive worlds that captivate players and push the boundaries of storytelling and gameplay. Our flagship title, Dead Arisen, is a testament to this vision—a horror-infused action-adventure that blurs the line between the living and the dead. We are seeking a talented 3D Artist to join our creative team and bring the hauntingly beautiful world of Salemwood to life.

Why Work with Us?

About Dead Arisen

While Dead Arisen draws inspiration from the challenging combat and atmospheric storytelling of Souls-like games, it carves its own unique identity. The game combines precision-based combat with a rich narrative-driven experience. Players will step into the shoes of Elara Holloway, a healer-turned-heroine, who must navigate a world of dark magic, cursed rituals, and malevolent spirits to save the town of Salemwood from an ancient evil.

This is not a traditional Souls-like game. While combat demands strategy and mastery, Dead Arisen places equal emphasis on exploration, puzzle-solving, and meaningful choices that shape the story. As a 3D Artist, your work will be pivotal in creating a world that immerses players in its eerie beauty and emotional depth.
