Today I’m chatting with Can Uzer, a sound designer from Helsinki. We’re going to have a look at some of the sounds he made for the game Downward Spiral: Horus Station available now on PC and VR systems, and PS4 PS4VR soon.

Can was helped by Mikko Kolehmainen (soundreorganized.com) and the music was composed by Ville Valo (HIM)
