False Signal Studio is a game development studio focused on creating immersive, atmospheric, and psychologically driven games.

We're building original gaming experiences with a solid emphasis on storytelling, tension, atmosphere, player immersion, and polished gameplay. Our goal is to build games that stay with players long after they finish playing.

- Estimate development effort and identify potential bottlenecks.
- Debug and resolve critical technical issues.
- Maintain project stability throughout development.
- Participate in playtesting and use feedback to improve gameplay systems.

- Strong debugging and problem-solving abilities.
- Understanding of game optimization and performance profiling.
