A new behind-the-scenes video reveals how legendary Polish composer Jan Borysewicz crafted the soundtrack for ONYX: The Dark Grip, an upcoming horror title exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2.

Broken Mirror Games, the horror imprint of Bloober Team, released a video featuring CEO Piotr Babieno and Borysewicz discussing the music creation process. The composer worked with FILMharmonic Orchestra, Prague to produce the game’s score.

“I didn’t approach this game as a pure horror title,” Borysewicz says. “My focus was more on evoking a sense of unease through the music, but paired with elements of hope.”

The timing connects with a Netflix biographical drama about Borysewicz’s life dropping October 7th, directed by Kristoffer Rus.

ONYX: The Dark Grip was announced in September during Nintendo Direct. The game takes full advantage of handheld mode, with players touching the screen to manipulate objects, tilting the system to unleash godlike powers, and even blowing into the microphone to warm a character called The Vessel.

“Horror is such a distinct genre that I consider music to be one of its most vital elements,” Babieno says. “That’s why we always try to work with the best.”

Built exclusively for handheld play, the game treats the Switch 2 as a physical window into its world. It’s a reminder that Nintendo hardware still inspires developers to experiment with interaction design in ways other platforms don’t.
