Final Exam: Sound Design that

Final Exam places players inside the tense and frightening scenario of a school shooting without relying on shocking visuals.

Read about how sound design played a central role in drawing players into this situation, giving them the feeling of distance from the chaos while still making the event feel close and real.

Using Unreal Engine and FMOD, Flutu worked with Change the Ref, BBDO Energy, Webcore, and Druid to create a sound environment that respects the seriousness of the situation while engaging the player.

Project

Mission

The mission was to craft a sound environment that conveyed the stress and fear of being in a school shooting situation in the U.S.

The game aimed to raise awareness about an ongoing issue without resorting to sensationalism. The sound needed to pull players into the moment and give them a respectful yet impactful experience.

Creative

process

The process was highly collaborative, with regular discussions between Flutu, BBDO Energy, the NGO Change the Ref, and WebCore. We focused on key decisions like how to use sound effectively to guide players, enhance tension, and avoid overwhelming the player with unnecessary audio cues.

One of the key strategies was the careful balance of silence and subtle sounds, using quiet moments to build tension and contrast them with more intense, stressful sounds during key points. We worked with sound textures and unexpected elements to keep players on edge without relying on sudden scares.

Evolution

Throughout development, we continuously refined the audio. From the early stages of prototyping, we saw the importance of sound in driving the narrative and helping the team make creative decisions.

The project saw regular iterations where the team tested and adjusted the sound to match the evolving gameplay and story needs.

Outcome

The result was a sound design that contributed to the game’s emotional weight. Players have described feeling the tension of the situation without the need for exaggerated effects.

The game received positive feedback from platforms like PC Gamer and Vice, highlighting how sound played a role in making the experience more meaningful. Several streamers on Twitch also praised the game’s ability to communicate a difficult subject through audio.

Conlusion

Final Exam helped turn a sensitive subject into an engaging experience without losing its respect for the issue at hand. If you’re looking to create sound that supports your project’s message and atmosphere, reach out to Flutu to learn more about how we can help.
