‘Depth Diver’, the video game I have composed the original soundtrack for, is out now, and immediately available on Steam.
Nerra Tolstoï, the game’s developer says:
‘In March 2025, while browsing Freesound.org looking for sound effects, I randomly checked the profile of someone who had made a piece of music I liked. I ended up listening to more of his work—and I loved it. So I reached out.
And what he offered us was honestly unbelievable’.
Well, I just offered to provide a full original OST for the game, with no strings attached. They originally wanted to use tracks I’d composed decades ago for my long-defunct Decembered project.
As an avid gamer myself, and largely a DIY musician/bedroom producer, I know the score of doing something for the passion’s sake alone. Birds of the feather flock together, so the process started quickly…
…and went very smooth, even though it took quite some time for me to deliver all the tracks. The majority of these have been completed by February 2026, with the last moment addition for the game’s trailer produced just yesterday.
As per our agreement, the whole OST has been published on black-sided sun’s Bandcamp page.
It is entirely electronic ambient/dark ambient/industrial by genre, and I went hard on custom timbres for various software synths, in particular Surge XT, DEXED and Vital, but also Korg wavestate native, Native Instruments FM8, Massive, and Absynth 5. Other than that, I believe, synths by Full Bucket Music were used extensively, in particular: WhispAir, Oxid, FB3300, Tricent mk III, et al.

The game itself – a marine-themed survival horror with solo and co-op modes – is available on Steam right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2995260/Depth_Diver/
With this project wrapped up for now, I’m all ready for new cooperations!
