Escape Road's soundscape draws from the traditions of horror and thriller genres, blending minimalist ambient drones with sudden, visceral stings to mirror the game's rhythm of calm-before-the-chaos. The soundtrack, composed by award-winning artist Lena Hart, eschews bombastic orchestral swells for a more intimate, claustrophobic approach. Low-frequency hums—evoking the distant rumble of machinery or a heartbeat quickening—form the foundation, creating a persistent undercurrent of unease even during puzzle-solving lulls. These elements are not static; they adapt dynamically to player actions, using procedural audio layering to heighten the stakes.
