I’m polishing a new horror game and I need original, spine-tingling sound design that keeps players on edge from the very first screen to the final cutscene. The focus is on tense, suspenseful atmospheres rather than melodic background tracks. Think subtle whispers, distant metallic clanks, distorted breaths—anything that makes the player glance over their shoulder. These sounds will be woven into three areas of the project: the main menu, several in-game levels, and short narrative cutscenes. Each setting will require its own flavour of dread, yet everything must feel like part of one cohesive sonic universe. I’ll share precise timing cues, location references, and lore details in chat so you can tailor each effect perfectly. Preferred specs: high-quality 48 kHz/24-bit WAV files, loopable where needed, with separated stems so I can handle mixing in FMOD later. If you already work in Reaper, Logic, or similar DAWs that export cleanly, that’s ideal. Deliverables • A library of original creepy sound effects (number to be finalised together) • Loopable menu ambience (30–60 sec) • Level ambience beds (2–3 variations) • Cutscene accent stingers synced to my storyboard timings • Short documentation listing filenames, length, and suggested usage I value quick communication, iterative drafts, and creative ideas that push the fear factor without overpowering the gameplay. If you’re passionate about horror sound design, let’s chat and make players’ skin crawl.

Hi there, I’m offering 25% off for this project while delivering immersive, original horror sound design that builds tension without overpowering gameplay. I’ve worked on ambient and atmospheric sound design, focusing on subtle psychological effects—whispers, textures, low-frequency drones, and spatial cues that keep players uneasy rather than relying on heavy music. For your game, I’ll design a cohesive sonic identity across menu, levels, and cutscenes, so everything feels connected but still unique per environment. You’ll get high-quality 48kHz/24-bit WAV files, properly loopable where needed, with clean stems ready for FMOD integration. I’ll create menu ambience, layered level atmospheres, and precise cutscene stingers synced to your timing and lore. I work iteratively—sharing drafts early, refining based on feedback, and pushing creative ideas that enhance immersion and fear factor. Regards, Sohail Jamil

Hey, Your project sounds right up my alley—I really enjoy working on tense, atmosphere-driven horror sound design. The direction you described (whispers, metallic textures, distorted breaths, etc.) is exactly the kind of detail I like to explore to build a cohesive and unsettling sonic world. I’m comfortable delivering high-quality 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV files, with loopable ambiences and cleanly separated stems for easy implementation in FMOD. I also work in an iterative way—sharing drafts, refining based on feedback, and making sure the sound design fits perfectly with your pacing, lore, and gameplay. I’d love to connect further and learn more about the game, its world, and the specific mood you’re aiming for. After we discuss the details, I can create and send over some demo sounds tailored to your project. If the demos match your vision, we can move forward—if not, no worries at all, you’re completely free to reject my proposal. Looking forward to hearing more about your game and collaborating!
