BEETLE QUEST
MARCH 2026
Beetle Quest is a roguelike adventure game where you play as Ari, a beetle defending his home against the invading mosquitos and wasps armies.
​
This is a student video game project I was part of as a senior composer and sound designer during the first semester of my second and final year of Master in Creative Music and Sound Design for Visual Media Scoring at Université Côte d'Azur. The game was presented at the Festival International des Jeux 2026 in Cannes.
Among a whole team of four composers and sound designers, I was mainly in charge of composing the soundtrack and managing the team alongside James Cruzalegui. Beetle Quest takes inspiration from fantasy games like Skylanders and Hollow Knight in its music, blending a few traditional instruments like luth and theorbo with a big orchestra a few modern sounds with synthesizers and electric guitars.
​
The game should be available on Itch.io soon!
