Dissonant Curse is a surreal 2D narrative experience inspired by Franz Kafka’s book Metamorphosis. Players take over control of a conductor transformed into a cockroach, navigating a distorted home while confronting inner fears.
I led the full audio pipeline, covering direction, sound design, music editing, and FMOD/Unity integration.
This foundation enabled the audio team to build the assets needed for an unsettling soundscape that amplifies the game’s psychological tension and insect-scale perspective.
Developed during the Level Up Game Jam, the project earned a nomination for Best Sound, reflecting the tight collaboration between audio, programming, and art despite the jam’s rapid timeframe.
