The Imaginary Friend is a narrative-driven VR experience centered on the boundary between reality and imagination, in which players enter the inner world of an eight-year-old child.

One of the core challenges was to express the duality between reality and dream states through sound design, using contrasting textures and spatial treatments. We worked in close collaboration with the composer to implement the music exactly as intended, preserving the emotional structure and narrative pacing. Finally, we used FMOD’s localization system to deliver the game in three languages.
