Thank you! Nice sounds!
Thank you, Brejnak 🤘😁
Absolutely Fire thank you so much currently making a horror game and this made my life way easier. The sounds are so great. I bought the whole pack for my game and other projects. Definitely will be getting your arcade SFX and other SFX if you make more.
Right on! Thank you for the comment, shayla_x3. I'm really glad you like the sounds. When you've finished your game, post it here. I would love to play it.
Thank you for the sound effects! I purchased your bundle a few weeks ago for a personal project and really enjoyed the variety.
Since then, I used a few of the tracks in the examples for an open source project of mine, with credit linking back to your itch profile.
Here's the project in question:
https://github.com/TurtIeSocks/bevy_audio_controller
The tracks used can be found in the "assets" folder. Please let me know if this is okay, or if you would like to have them removed, thank you!
Hey TurtleSocks!
Thank you for reaching out. That's totally fine. I don't mind at all if you utilize sounds from my pack in your open source project and provide them in your project's associated asset folders. Thank you for asking and thanks for the credit! Looks like a cool project too! I'm glad to be a part of it :)
Best,

Thank you for your time and hard work to create this fantastic sound effect. I extremely feel bad that I couldn't pay for it. I'm totally broke now, but in the future, I'd come back and drop my appreciation. Again, thank you so much for your time and hard work.
No problem! I've had a great time creating and updating this pack of sounds. Please feel free to download the complete set on my Ko-fi page. I insist that it will always be free for everyone. Everything I make will always be free. :)
Thank you. I'll go visit the page!
Hi, I downloaded the free version just to take a look, but I found the audios very abrupt at the beginning and end. Are the audios in the full version like this too? Or is this just a detail of the free version?
Hey GustLSantDev,
Thank you for the question. All of the recordings are dry even in the extended version. I left the recordings dry so creators could add effects specific for their game/video. Creators have let me know that they typically add reverb to the sounds in this pack appropriate for the environment they are trying to make. It extends the tails of the sounds and may remove some of the abruptness you're describing. Just so you know, everything I make will always be free for everyone. You can get the "paid" version for free on my Ko-fi page. Donating through Itch is a way people can show appreciation, but it isn't required.
Thanks again!

Hi Rob, thanks for your response
I would love to "buy the full version", although having trouble adapting these audios...
Do you know how I could do it (or what the name of the effect is) to smooth out the audios at the beginning and end, adding time to the track (instead of just smoothing what's already there)?
Edit: Im using Audacity
(Sorry, I'm not very good with audio hah)
One thing about Audacity is that it snips sounds during playback. If you listen to the sound cloud samples on my Itch page, that is how the sounds will be in your game engine without modification. Audacity could be the cause of the abruptness you're experiencing. Since the SFX are short sounds, Audacity exaggerates the shortness by cutting off the playback quickly. In your game engine, or during playback with other software, the sounds play all the way through. I use Audacity a lot and this is something that I have noticed too.
In audacity you can add effects through the effects tab on the top (5th from the right). I personally would add silence to the end first by clicking to the end of the sound then clicking "generate" then "silence." It will prompt you with a window that will ask how much silence you want to add. Choose anything from 3 to 5 seconds. Listen to it and see if it needs reverb then. If it does, add reverb through the effects tab. The base settings are good but I would recommend adjusting them to taste.
I personally think a better way to add effects is through your game engine. I use Godot but all modern game engines have audio effects that can be added to audio tracks. As an example, I would use an AudioEffectReverb in combination with Audio Buses in Godot to get the reverb I want on a sound. The sounds will play all the way through in your game engine as well, unlike in Audacity, so just opening the effects in your game engine might fix what you're hearing.
I hope this is helpful!
Best,
YourPalRob
Alright, thank you very much Rob.
Wishing every success to you!
I used these sounds for a horror game I made during the 🎃 Halloween Game Jam 2024 🎃 - itch.io. The only let down was that I couldn't use more of these awesome sounds in the time I had. Thank you!
If you are interested you can see the game here: The Final Ward by scy4.
Dude! Awesome. I'm going to play your game this weekend! Thank you for posting it here!
Hey, just wanted to let you know I used this pack extensively in another Game Jam submission and wanted to link it here. I seriously cannot believe the value of this pack for the price. It's a real game changer (pun intended) :)
https://gentlemanjay.itch.io/azrok-and-the-scepter-of-light
Right on! 🤘😁 I'm glad you enjoy the pack. I've had a lot of fun making and updating it. I'm excited to check your game out! I love some indie horror. I'ma play it when I get home today.
Heck yeah! It's still a WIP so it's only about 5 mins of gameplay before it abruptly ends mid-story, but I had a lot of fun making it and applying your sounds!
Hi so I see your pack has the sounds I would love to use in my commercial products. Is this ok to use with credit in them without any need for additional payments other then buying the pack?
Hey Le Pigeon,
That's correct. You can use any of these sounds in your commercial project without any additional payments. Once you've downloaded the pack, the sounds are your's to use forever. 😁 Link your project here if you'd like, I would love to check it out!
Best,
Rob
Hi! I am working on a commercial soundboard platform for TTRPG, can I integrate your pack to be used in it? 😁 Or do you have a special license for commercial usage?
You can use any of my sounds in your commercial game, or any other project, as much as you want and in any way. No credit necessary (✌️😄 but it is appreciated). Please feel free to incorporate them into you commercial TTRPG soundboard however you like. When it's finished, send me a link so I can check it out, Lol, it sounds cool.
(Edits: 4 edits because I typed this out on my phone 😂)
Thanks!
Of course I'll credit you :D
I still need to code the library that will allow users to walk through all integrated sounds, but here it is (french only, english coming soon!): https://wavve.ilphrin.com
Thank you for this awesome pack! Can't wait to scare my players in a Cthulhu game with theses :p
This is awesome! Ill be using some of these in my current project for the Goedware Gamejam.
Sick! Send me the link when you're done. I'll totally play and rate your Jam game!
https://gentlemanjay.itch.io/carry-the-light
Honestly the game is garbage, but your audio does a lot of heavy lifting. Thanks!
Thank you for sending it to me! I left a comment on the Jam page. I thought it was good. Jam games can be tough especially with the time constraints but finishing a Jam is an achievement. I think calling it garbage is harsh lol. I enjoyed the game and I also got jump scared twice haha.
Wow thanks :) you're right, I've been pretty hard on myself about it but I've gotten a lot of positivity from the community.
It will be such a big help for my project. Thanks, man!
Thank you, Manascrewed! Send me a link to your project when it is finished. You can count on me playing it! :)
Great stuff!
Thank you, Ludomancer!
Awesome. Really like it
Thank you, lilren0dd! 😁 I'm glad the sounds are working out for you.
Thanks Man, you save my life
✌️😁 I'm glad. Thank you for the comment and support!
Fabulous sound pack. Bought the complete collection a while back and used some of your ambient and stinger sounds in the post-jam update to my game https://nodrogagon.itch.io/dreadhand
Thanks for the great sounds!
Thank you so much! Your game is super cool. I'm checking it out right now.
Bought
Thank you for the support, Yotsimitsu! I appreciate it.
✌️😁
Hi there, just to say thank you for sharing your content, I've used some of the free sounds in a demo I've recently updated: https://ringot.itch.io/backtothedark
SICK!!! Thank you for letting me know. I'll definitely check out your game.
Hi, I have created a video game using part of your sound assets group, I share it with you, I hope you like it.
https://gordyostudios.itch.io/almacen-10
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! It looks like fun and I look forward to playing it.
Hi, your sound effects are awesome! Thank you! They fit amazingly into my first horror game. https://rinsdoll.itch.io/haunted-corn-maze
Thank you, RinsDoll.
I checked out your game. It is cool!
I don't see a way to see a sample...? I would like to hear before I decide to purchase or not. Am I just blind and didn't see the button?
Hey Justinbarrett,
There should be a SoundCloud player on the page within the description. Should look something like the screen capture below. You may have to activate it in your browser first.
Here is the link to it also. https://on.soundcloud.com/PMwXm
Great stuff! Thank you very much for the assets!
I did a game with it. You can check it out on:
https://lightsandsouls.itch.io/flee-the-castle
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.
You can count on me playing your game :)
Thanks for the update! The new sounds are great.
Hello, this is just what I would be needing in my horror game. It's NSFW and commercial one so can they be used in it?
Totally. Every sound effect I make, including all the ones in this SFX pack, can be used in any project without limitation. No credit nessecary.
You can use them in your commercial NSFW horror game and you don't even have to say I made them :)
Let me known if you have any questions or if there are any particular sounds you'd like to see in this pack in a future update.
Hello! Thank you for making this, I used it in my game, it helped lots giving it the ambiance I needed. Please let me know if you'd like a free download key, I'd be happy to send you one.
Awesome! I'm glad the sounds helped in your game. I will happily take you up on the offer for the download key :)
Nice! I don't think I can send DMs in itch.io, do you have a Twitter of Instagram I could send you the download key?
I don't have either of those, but you can hit me up on Discord if you have that:
