Shape the
Collective
Imagination.
Xarixq isn't looking for employees to fill slots in a production line. We are a Kuala Lumpur-based gathering of architects, poets, and engineers building interactive art that lingers in the mind long after the screen goes dark.
"We don't build games to pass the time; we build them to define it."
At Xarixq Game Studio, we believe our primary constraint is never technology—it is vision. Joining our roster means stepping into an environment where the "impossible" is simply a project requirement. We prioritize the mental space required for deep work.
We operate on a model of radical autonomy. Whether you are an expert in Unity development or a character artist, you own your domain. We provide the resources of a Tier-1 studio with the soul of a boutique gallery.

01. The Expert Commentary
"We hire for taste, then for talent. Talent can be honed; taste is a perspective on the world." — Studio Principal
Autonomy-First Architecture

Technological Fearlessness
We do not wait for standards to be set. We build our own shaders, our own narrative engines, and our own internal toolsets to ensure that our creative output is never limited by commercially available software.
