Music Composer Needed – Escape Room Game Theme
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
## Project Overview
I am developing a mystery escape room game and I'm looking for a talented composer to create an original piano-based soundtrack.
The music should create a feeling of mystery, loneliness, tension, and curiosity while the player explores abandoned rooms and solves puzzles.
This is **not** an action soundtrack. It should encourage the player to think, observe, and feel that something is always hidden in the darkness.
## Musical Direction
The atmosphere should be inspired by the emotional feeling of **Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (1st Movement)**, but it must be a completely original composition.
Desired characteristics:
* Slow and emotional piano
* Dark and mysterious atmosphere
* Psychological thriller feeling
* Elegant rather than horror
* Moments of silence and suspense
* Minimal orchestral pads or strings are welcome
* Suitable for continuous background looping
* The music should never become repetitive or distracting
The player should feel:
* "Something is wrong."
* "Someone was here."
* "There is a hidden truth waiting to be discovered."
## Deliverables
* Original composition (no copyrighted material)
* 2–4 minutes long
* Seamless looping version
* High-quality WAV
* MP3 version
* Individual stems if possible (Piano / Strings / Ambient)
* Commercial rights transferred upon completion
## References
Mood references:
* Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata (emotional atmosphere only)
* Dark mystery puzzle games
* Psychological thriller ambience
Please do **not** recreate existing music. I am looking for an original soundtrack with a similar emotional impact.
## When Applying
Please include:
* Portfolio
* Previous game music (preferred)
* Piano compositions
* Thriller or mystery soundtracks
* Estimated delivery time
Quality is much more important than speed.
