The Music
Crypt Happens is a compact puzzle experience where sound helps guide the player through a dark maze structure.
Musical approach
I used sparse dark textures and clue-led audio behaviour, making this an early example of my approach to interactive music.
Under the Hood
Implementation
I used dynamic FMOD-driven audio clues to help guide the player through the maze.
Adaptive System
