Do you know what gives a game a totally unique atmosphere?
Yes, its the story.
The graphics too, yep.
But whats in my mind right now is music. And we have a smashing soundtrack in Beyond Sunset!
When we started thinking about making the game we knew that we needed music that enhances the gameplay. Its not enough to simply buy the rights to ready pieces and try to fit them in in the story. We needed music composed for Beyond Sunset and Beyond Sunset only.
So theres little story here, honestly: I made a post on a synthwave fanpage asking if there is anyone interested in helping a small dev team with music for their new game. And weve got a ton of answers! BUT. Weve also got a message from someone we did not expect to see in that thread: Karl Vincent.
Yes, THE Karl Vincent, an absolute synthwave legend wrote to us that he wants to make a soundtrack for Beyond Sunset. And we were beyond excited, obviously! No pun intended.
So as we continued working on our game, and Karl started composing a fantastic soundtrack youll be able to hear in the game (and you probably already heard bits of it in the demo).

Give the man a like on YouTube and leave a follow because he totally deserves it. And thanks to his music, Beyond Sunset is that much of a better game.
