PSX Horror SFX - 294 PS1 Horror Sounds

294 sounds for PS1-style survival horror games. Footsteps on concrete, tile, metal grating, flooded floors, gravel and mud, creaking doors, cell doors and roller shutters, a shot for each of 14 guns with their reloads, a bat, an axe and a chainsaw, zombies, ghosts and things that crawl, levers, valves, keypads and fuse boxes for the puzzles, loops of a basement, a hospital and rain on the window, string stabs and jump-scare hits, and the typewriter save, the save room and the key item.

Every one plays in the preview video.

• Every sound as WAV (44.1 kHz, 16-bit), in folders by category.
• PS1 sound: nothing over the 22 kHz sample rate PS1 games streamed their sounds at, in concrete corridors, small tiled rooms and big empty halls.
• Levelled for play: footsteps and ambience sit under shots, stingers and creatures, so the defaults already balance.
• Four variations of every footstep, so repeats don't sound like repeats.
• The loops (ambience, the insect swarm, the chainsaw's idle) wrap without a seam.
• Trimmed, with no clicks at the edges. Works in any engine: Unity, GameMaker, Unreal, web and mobile.
