I began composing music for an independent video game called Lyst, which is a tribute to the style of the Myst games. Lyst is darker, taking place in an abandoned experimental facility on an asteroid hurtling towards the sun.

An FX, samples, and drums based soundtrack to the trailer for Fatal Frame. Sounds come from the True Strike Tension pack for Kore Player, and a few other various sample packs.
