Masquerade is a Graduation Project by ARTFX Promo 2025’s students, in collaboration with sound designers from Slope Audio Training, a composer from MAAV, and two talented voice actors.

Led and united under a common vision of the project, they worked together for over a year to create this game. No compromise, only passion.
We hope you’ll like it.
