New Track! Wailing Height's Indie band - The Aos Sí - album for Pre-order
[ 2017-08-14 11:36:15 CET ] [ Original post ]
James Downey and the Aos Sí, who you will recognise as the singing voices of Leg End and Ada Z and the Zom Bs, have put their own indie album up for pre-order on iTunes, Amazon UK and Bandcamp. Thanks to popular demand, they're also going to let us add their new recording of Dancing Through Eden, the song played outside the Cremetary, to our soundtrack DLC as a free update! I've heard the album and it's pretty amazing. The DLC will be updated sometime after their release on Sep 1, but you can listen to a preview of Dancing Through Eden on their Amazon page.

A coffin-rocking, body-hopping, musical adventure game, set in a horrific hamlet of monsters.
Set in a peaceful, blood-curdling village blessed with gorgeous panoramic mountaintop views and the blissful stench of rotting corpses, Wailing Heights is home to the likes of vegan werewolves, hipster vampires, soulful zombies and all manner of well-adjusted supernatural taxpaying home-owners.
Meet Frances Finklestein, the one-time manager of the all-time greatest rock band that Great Britain ever produced: The Deadbeats.
After being invited to a gig in a town no one's ever heard of, Frances Finklestein is trapped in a holding cell, charged with the crime of... Being Alive! A mysterious cellmate teaches you the power of possession. You learn to “body-hop”, leaving your corpse in the holding cell and jumping from ghost to vampire to werewolf to zombie. Each creature’s skills and abilities bring you one step closer to getting your body out of lock-up and getting the hell out of Wailing Heights. But of course, it’s never that easy…
As you jump from one musical monster to another, familiar sounds and faces start up show up. The Deadbeats have returned as the undead, and they want to get the band back together.
In the style of classic adventure games, you will need to talk to the locals, choosing just the right thing to say (and who to be), collect lyrics as you explore the town, listen to musical clues, and like all great songwriters; steal things from other songs. Add these ingredients to your musical possession wheel, and sing your soul right into a monsters' body, gaining their supernatural abilities and moving one step closer to escaping Wailing Heights.
