For my soundscape, I focused on evoking the psychological terror at the heart of Project MKHEXE, the sensation that something unseen is encroaching just beyond comprehension. Rather than relying on jump-scare tactics, I built layers of dissonant textures, distorted environmental sounds, and unsettling tonal elements to blur the boundary between reality and hallucination. Subtle shifts in space and frequency mimic the feeling of an unstable mind unraveling under the weight of paranoia.My approach was to treat sound as the hidden antagonist, the anomaly itself. Each element is designed to feel organic yet unnatural, as if the forest itself were breathing and alive with an ominous presence. Metallic echoes and warped resonances create a sense of closeness and disorientation, immersing the audience in a world where fear is felt before it is understood.
