Looking for Young and Potential Writers

I am a recruiter for a game company that is currently making a big game. The company wants to remain anonymous, but I can prove to you that this job is real. For those of you who want confirmation on this, you can rest assured that I can give it to you. 

This game is a visual novel game and NSFW, but it is one of the most prominent games in the industry. It has a huge fan base and a huge number of players. The owner of the game decided to professionalize things a bit.  I have been asked to find talented and enthusiastic interns.

Here's what we expect from you;

Editing the story of the game that's already in progress. So you can think of it like this, there's a story and the team of writers that I'm part of is going to take it from the ground up and we're going to fill in the missing parts and make the story more fluid.  You can think of it as a kind of a little story remake. And every writer knows that strengthening a story is harder than writing a new story. But with a large team, we'll be able to do it very easily. But you still need to have a wide imagination and a good pen to be useful in this creative process.

You can also be part of the direct story and script team for the new game that will launch in the coming months.

As you start as an intern, you will not be paid at first, but if you manage to stay with the company, you can get a salary. We need friends who can work on a voluntary basis or who want to gain experience by working on a big project.

It will be enough to leave a comment to learn the details.

You must be over 18 years old to apply for a job.

 Even though the game and the company are big, the adult gaming market is not yet industrialized enough and is still an amateur industry. So the capitalization of adult games is much, much lower than other so-called “normal” games. This limits the ability of companies to create jobs. But having worked on this project will be very useful for your personal development and CV.

sounds incredibly shady

Gotta say, if you're looking for freebies, you might be better off being up-front about who the client is and what game they're developing - if only because there are very, very few titles in the NSFW arena with brand-name recognition and it's easy to make claims like that if you don't have to back them up. Since you're a team member yourself and not a recruiter, I can't think of any obvious reason not to share these details. If it's genuinely a recognisable name that people will have heard of and played, then it will only work to your advantage to name them, as fans of the series (who likely know the characters and story arcs already - another advantage) are likely to be more interested in contributing.

I also can't help wondering how unpaid interns will help 'professionalise' things. If you want professional, you need to hire professionals.
