"CYBERPADLA" visual novel

CYBERPADLA is a gritty, neon-soaked cyberpunk visual novel set in a post-apocalyptic world.

After a catastrophic nuclear winter, society collapses into a global depression. Amid the ruins, a mysterious superhacker uncovers information with the power to change what’s left of humanity. But just as they grasp their discovery… the unmistakable click of rail rifles echoes from the next room.

I was responsible for designing the sound identity of the game world, creating immersive audio to match its grimy, high-tech atmosphere and tense narrative beats.

Created original UI sounds inspired by retro-futuristic operating systems

Designed rail rifle activation FX and high-pressure ambient loops

Built tense, low-frequency environments with synth drones and glitch textures

Added layered mechanical clicks, hums, and neural interface sounds

Worked closely with the dev team to enhance teaser scenes with dynamic audio

You can catch the first glimpses of CYBERPADLA’s world here:

I crafted the entire soundscape for these teasers—using glitch FX, distorted machinery, and dynamic stingers to match the tension and aesthetic of the world.

The game will be released on itch.io — stay tuned for the demo:

💬 What I Learned

This project taught me how to build immersive sound for interactive storytelling with minimal visual cues. I had to convey environment, emotion, and momentum through audio alone, and it pushed my skills in experimental sound layering and narrative audio pacing.
