Hello everyone,

I’m developing an indie psychological point & click game focused on trauma, memories, and emotional tension. I’m looking for a composer specialized in dark ambient / atmospheric sound design to create the game’s background music.

About the Game

The game is narrative-driven and emotionally heavy. It takes place mainly inside a Victorian house, where the protagonist explores spaces connected to memories, guilt, and psychological wounds. There are supernatural elements, but the horror is mostly emotional and psychological.

Mood References

  • The last door

  • Layers of Fear

  • Amnesia

  • Psychological horror sound design 

What I Need

  • Tracks around 2–3 minutes

  • Different atmospheres for:

    • Victorian house exploration

    • Memory/flashback scenes

    • Emotional revelation moments

Collaboration Details

Open to:

  • Paid work per track

  • Or collaboration with revenue share (if preferred)

All contributors will be fully credited.

If you’re interested, please send:

  • Portfolio / examples

Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm very interested! Here you can find my latest game music reel: 


And this a compilation of the tracks I made for Abiotic Factor, featuring dark atmospheric ones: 

Feel free to reach out at mariosello1@gmail.com or via Discord (mariosello1).

I did the score for this. 0:35-1:00 and 12:05-14:00 is kind of generic tension, droney cello and plucked strings, natural sounds. 14:10-14:45 is more "mystical" and has synths but darker toned. I also wrote the track at 15:15

Hi there! So of course this would generate a lot of interest but I just to throw my stuff your way just in case. Everything you have listed about the game, and the emotions are definitely up my street, and very it's cool as well.

So I'll provide just 2 links, one is my showreel from 2025 which has various game and film works. The second is the soundtrack (albeit short) for a horror short film called Snare that I composed for. 

2025 Showreel - Stuart Woolley | Composer

Snare - Soundtrack

If you want to get in touch, you can drop me an email at stuartwoolleycomposer@gmail.com. Either way if not me I hope you find someone for this because the concept is really cool!

hey! I’m very interested in this. You can check out my portfolio at www.YouTube.com/@paulmichaelharrison

Hey! How are you doing?
I saw that you are looking for a composer and I wanted to introduce myself:)

My name is Juan Magariños, I’m a 22 year old composer from Argentina. I’ve worked on music for a few short films and games, in a variety of different genres, from orchestras to rock and metal pieces. I absolutely love crafting soundtracks that help bring immersive worlds and emotional stories to life.

I'll leave my portfolio here, and hope you enjoy anything in there:D

I’ll also attach some unreleased tracks that I haven’t had the chance to post yet or that are still unfinished. Feel free to check them out!

In addition to composition, I also offer foley and sound design services.

Hello!

Many others have already submitted their work, but I've had the opportunity to work on a few horror shorts over the years. Unfortunately not all of them have public access, but here's a link to one that just released: 

Horror really kicks in around 8:00

Other short films include Unexpected Amenities and They've Been Waiting For You

Happy to send you some music from either of those if you'd like! Just can't share them publicly as of now. 

Would be great to work with you! My email is kbclarke8871@gmail.com
