[ROYALTY] NIGHT EVIL – Looking for Unreal Engine 5 Team Members
Project Overview
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for passionate Unreal Engine 5 developers to join NIGHT EVIL, a story-driven third-person open-world action game.
The project focuses on cinematic storytelling, tactical combat, player choice, and psychological world design.
This is currently a Royalty / Revenue Share project. I cannot offer upfront payment. If the game is successfully released and generates revenue, profits will be shared with team members according to an agreed arrangement.
Game Summary
NIGHT EVIL follows a family torn apart by government forces and criminal organizations.
The story takes place across a reimagined New York City, with parts of the story also set in Paris and Miami.
Every major decision permanently changes relationships, character destinies, and later story events.
Main Features
- Story-driven open world
- Third-person tactical combat
- Four playable protagonists
- Multiple story routes and endings
- Psychological perception system where every protagonist experiences the world differently
- Dynamic atmosphere, lighting, color grading, music and sound depending on the character
- Approximately 47 hours of story content
- Character progression through combat, training and player choices
Characters
- Leon – Main protagonist whose choices determine the direction of the entire story.
- Bertram – Leon’s brother, connected to a criminal organization.
- Michael – Former soldier suffering from PTSD, with gameplay heavily influenced by traumatic memories.

Gameplay Vision
The game emphasizes:
- Tactical combat instead of run-and-gun action.
