Torpor Games hiring lead writers

Torpor Games has opened two senior narrative jobs in Berlin, including a Lead Writer role for its upcoming political role-playing game The Conformist. (workwithindies.com) The Lead Writer posting went live on April 27, 2026, with a salary band of €45,000 to €55,000 and a hybrid setup limited to candidates already in Berlin, Germany. (workwithindies.com) A second April 27 posting seeks an Associate Lead Writer for Suzerain: Project Vanguard, also hybrid and Berlin-only, with a listed salary of €40,000 to €50,000. (workwithindies.com) The Conformist is the bigger signal in the batch. Torpor says the Lead Writer will define the game’s narrative vision, own story direction, tone and thematic coherence, and oversee major scenes, dialogue, quests and branching decisions. (workwithindies.com) Torpor describes The Conformist as a semi-sandbox narrative role-playing game set in the Suzerain universe, where players control a government propagandist in Sordland after a civil war. (theconformistgame.com) On its company site, Torpor says it is currently working on both Suzerain and The Conformist, and notes that The Conformist prototype received partial funding from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. (torporgames.com) The Associate Lead Writer role points to parallel expansion inside the same fictional world. The job says that writer will be the primary creative authority for Suzerain: Project Vanguard and build a new country’s themes, factions, institutions and historical context inside established canon. (workwithindies.com) Torpor’s own careers page also lists a Producer opening for Project Vanguard, and the description references collaboration with content roles including a Lead Writer and Narrative Designer. (torporgames.careers.hibob.com) The hiring comes after Torpor announced a minority seed investment round in November 2025 with Krafton, 1Up Ventures and Sisu Game Ventures. Torpor said that funding would support full production of The Conformist and more Suzerain universe projects, including Project Vanguard. (gamesbeat.com) For Torpor, the new postings show where that money is being spent: on senior writers who can run politically driven story teams inside a growing shared universe.
