Music for The Attic and The Prison? 🤔

Lovely creatures! How are you? 👻

Andrés Borghi continues working on fixes and improvements for the game, and he has a question for you:

The levels The Attic (Noroko) and The Prison (Animus) don't actually have real music, only atmospheric sound effects. So the question is...

Would you like them to have their own music? Or should we keep ambience sound effects only?






You can answer in the comments below, or you can vote in the next poll on Twitter:

BTW, Andres will be streaming The Black Heart today at 3 PM (EST) on his Twitch channel. Don't miss it!
