On-site in our Brand New Walthamstow (London) Studio — Full-time
About Wise Monkey Entertainment
We’re an independent game studio in London creating charming, witty, story-driven games. Our debut title No Stone Unturned is a detective game about a world of animal sleuths, set in a giant pub built around the mystery of why the chicken crossed the road. The answer may be more absurd and dark than it first seems…
