Sondering Studio (Indie Game)
Project Overview
Opening:
We have two PAID openings for the demo of Sondering Studio’s next game. While we cannot share what it’s about yet, you can take a look at our previous game A Taste of the Past – we make heartfelt narrative games with a focus on Asian American representation. If you book these roles, this may result in future opportunities with our full game. If you don’t see a role for you, we will have future casting calls for this game.

Our next game will be SFW.
