Sound design & music direction

I don’t think there should be music in this game other than in the grocery store and earbuds. I just don’t think it would fit.

I actually recorded myself going grocery shopping on a busy day to get a recording of the sounds that could be in the game and got a range of good sounds. I caught conversations, random sounds of people talking to the store employees, and the sound of me checking out.

Sounds that should be in the game:

  • Birds chirping when at home and outside, in the store it should only be hearable at the quiet spaces.
  • Walking sounds
  • Grocery store beeping sounds
  • Sounds of people talking getting louder the closer you get to the store
  • buzzing light sound for when the anxiety gets to a certain level
  • sounds of people talking being a bit scary the higher the anxiety gets.
  • Food grabbing sounds
