DARQ is a critically acclaimed game from Unfold Games. Made almost entirely by a first-time developer and a former music composer Wlad Marhulets, DARQ won multiple awards and ultimately became the 42nd Most Shared PC Game of 2019 (Metacritic).
The sound design of DARQ was created by Bjørn Jacobsen, known for his work on Cyberpunk 2077 and Hitman. The orchestral music was written by the developer himself, recorded by Budapest Scoring Orchestra, and mixed by Adam Schmidt, a sound engineer known for Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
DARQ won awards both for sound design and music - this presentation showcases behind-the-scenes audio implementation with the help of FMOD Studio.
