Original Track for Indie Horror Game
Budget: $30 – $50 USD
I'm looking for a custom original track for my indie psychological horror game inspired by Lisa: The Painful.
The track will be something like a radio-style background track for a 2D game where the player works as a bartender. The music will play during active work scenes while the player makes drinks and handles a lot of customer orders, so it should have energy and movement to it. I want something semi-fast, groovy, chaotic, slightly sleazy, and nervous.
This is a horror game, but not in a typical horror movie background music way. It is more of a bartender sim with themes of alcoholism and the idea that people are the real monsters. Because of that, I want the track to feel strange, experimental, and very human. Not generic horror music. Not cinematic trailer music. Not dark ambient wallpaper. I want something with personality that feels authored by a real person. Don't be afraid to be weird.
The track should work as background music for a bar, but still feel a little off, tense, or emotionally dirty underneath. It should help the player feel active and engaged during busy work, not sleepy or too relaxed.
This track should be instrumental. I have no need for vocal lyrics, but using some sounds or super small samples is cool (you'll see in the ref files). Choirs are ok, but with moderation. Melody by voice is also fine.
Original work only, please, no AI-generated or AI-assisted music.
And I need an exclusive custom track for my game.
The track will be around 2 to 3 minutes long and should have a clear beginning and ending. It does not need to loop.
Track is gonna be played in mono in-game. We might add a radio and make it a stereo, but I'm not sure yet.
My main reference for hat I want is from Lisa: The Painful:

These tracks are good references for the kind of weird, memorable, human-made energy I'm looking for.
I don't want a copy of these tracks. I only mean them as references for mood, boldness, and unusual personality.
Deliverables:
- 1 full original track around 2-3 mins
- WAV + MP3
My budget for this track is $30-50.
If I like working together, I have other tasks for tracks with similar vibes.
