Last Epoch combines time travel, exciting dungeon crawling, engrossing character customization and endless replayability to create an Action RPG for veterans and newcomers alike. Travel through the world of Eterra’s past and face dark empires, wrathful gods and untouched wilds – to find a way to save time itself from The Void.

👋 Hi! Nate from Work With Indies here. I had the great pleasure of getting to know Judd and his team back in 2020, soon after Last Epoch went into Early Access. While I was initially interested in and impressed by the game, I soon became a much bigger fan of their people, their passion, and their approach. They were not only exceptionally smart and talented, but also really good people.

This team inspired me and I felt lucky for the opportunity to work with them. I anticipate their successful candidates are likely to feel the same.
