We are looking for a freelance Game Audio Designer / Composer to work on Maze: Identity, an upcoming first-person psychological atmospheric indie game developed in Unity for PC / Steam.
This is a paid, remote freelance position, open to international applicants.
About the Game
Maze: Identity is an atmospheric psychological exploration game built around themes of identity, education, competition, social structures, and personal choice.
The game features surreal and liminal environments including:
- Empty school corridors
- A massive examination hall
- Fog-filled abstract spaces
- Vertical maze environments
- A multi-level dystopian city
- Rooftop and cinematic ending sequences
The audio direction is:
Liminal / Psychological / Atmospheric / Minimal / Surreal / Industrial
This is not traditional jumpscare or monster-based horror.
We want the player to feel:
“Something is wrong with this place.”
rather than:
“Something is about to attack me.”
What We Need
The current estimated audio scope includes:
- Original BGM / soundtrack
- Environmental ambience and soundscapes
- Psychological and abstract sound design
- Gameplay SFX
- Footsteps and movement sounds
- UI sounds
- Scene-transition sounds
- Environmental and cinematic effects
Current estimated production scope:
- Around 8 BGM tracks
- Around 15–20 ambient soundscapes / layers
- Around 70–90 unique SFX
- Additional variations where required
The scope may be adjusted during production.
Preferred Experience
We are especially interested in people with experience in:
- Game sound design
- Game music composition
- Atmospheric / psychological audio
- Ambient and experimental music
- Liminal or surreal environments
- Seamless looping
- Unity audio workflows
Experience with FMOD or Wwise is a plus, but not required.
Collaboration Process
We plan to:
- Review portfolios
- Shortlist several candidates
- Arrange a small paid test task
- Select one candidate for the main production
The test task will likely use a short gameplay section and involve creating a small combination of ambience, SFX, and a musical concept.

- Portfolio / Demo Reel
- Previous game audio work, if available
- Whether you work on SFX, music, or both
