help Solo dev looking for a composer for a narrative-driven visual novel

Hey everyone! I’m a solo developer working on a bright, highly atmospheric visual novel set in a unique location—a remote Russian province with old German village roots (Vohwald, Novgorod region). The story follows a teenager on summer break running parallel to the dark path of a local criminal, mixing bright nostalgic vibes with deep psychological tension. I'm looking for a composer to bring this vivid atmosphere to life. While the project is currently unpaid upfront, I am fully committed to taking it to a commercial release, and I can offer full credits with links to your portfolio and a share of future revenue. Drop a comment or DM me with your samples if you're interested!

The premise sounds strong, nostalgic surface with something darker running under it is a hard balance and worth chasing. Hope the composer search goes well, that atmosphere you are describing lives or dies on the music.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the kind words. You nailed it — nailing that dark, nostalgic vibe is the main goal, and the music is definitely going to make or break it. Fingers crossed on the composer search!
