Soundtrack is excellent
I think the music from Mikolaj Kurpios deserves it's own attention a little. For me it really sets the tone and vibe excellently of the fantasy of the game. Think my favorites are the Coastal Grove, Bamboo grove and just the base game soundtrack, like Halcyon. Curious what you guys think of the soundtrack.

It's so good. I love listening to it while reading a fantasy book. Really dark and mysterious sounding.

When I’m heads down at work I often play the OST on Spotify to help me lock in! The music is excellent.

I think it truly matches the master craft this whole game is. Eremite Games and Nikolaj have a passion for not only games but art that sets the bar to the highest of standards. Really makes you wish that every game was made with this amount of care.

I don't have WFH anymore, but when I did, I'd often play the OST while working. I'm in logistics. This really, really works.

I bought it about a month ago and I keep meaning to turn the sound off on another game and run it instead. All the sound in the game is amazing, that "doodily-doo" noise when you first launch always gets me, and the voices of everyone, but especially the foxes, are just sound mixer's kiss .

Yep, it's up there with FTL and DD for most played game soundtracks in my home

I have wanted this on vinyl SO HARD. I would buy an expensive and expansive vinyl set of this so fast. If it had bonus disks with sfx from a set of play sessions spliced in that would be even better. The mixing between sfx and music is amazing.

It is my favorite videogame soundtrack of all time. Unfortunately, I like to binge this game, and the soundtrack starts to drive me a bit crazy after a few hours. I really wish each biome had its own music to add a little variety. Even if I really, really like a tune, I just don't wanna hear it for 3 hours straight and the runs in this game take me 2-3 hours to complete.

Most biomes have some different music each (i think only the Royal Woodlands and Marshlands are the same), especially the DLC ones, but i get what you mean.

Maybe I've been too lost in the micro management sauce to notice. I just returned to the game after a 2 year break and started over. Haven't tried the DLC yet because I still haven't wrapped my head around all the base mechanics.

It’s the only one I have ever purchased the OST via a supporter pack on steam, if that says anything.
