I was part of the the audio team during the course of its development where my primary task was developing the audio for its underground locations and machinery. My work thus included sourcing sound material through foley- and studio recordings, sound design & editing, and integration through Guerrilla Games’ proprietary engine.

— Dutch Game Awards 2022 - Best Audio Winner
