Arseniy is a Producer and a Sound Designer of the project. He has a programming background, which helps a lot with managing the team’s time and scope. He also will make sure that sound and music in the game are rich, unique and creating the right atmosphere. Being born and raised in Moscow, he is not a stranger to existential thoughts and feelings, which is a necessary quality while working on an experimental project like Prisoner’s Cinema.
