Music

Music tracks are made by Slug Disco Studios and are available on their official YouTube channel.

Mechanics

Multiple music tracks are layered on top of each other. They are played at the same time and looped automatically to form each theme. Unsuitable tracks are all muted. The current track slowly fades out and gets muted when an event happens, which allows the corresponding track to kick in.

Some tracks will fade out briefly to allow narrations to start. Narrations can be delayed for a few seconds so that it starts at the next segment of the music track, which gives an impression that the narrations fit in the middle of the music.

Music tracks

Music tracks in the game usually have 2 versions: safe and action.

Trivia

• Music in the game is composed by Liam using FL Studio.

• Savannah documentary missions don't have Night Theme due to time constraint. Subjugation Theme is reused instead. Last Mound Standing doesn't even have its own music tracks.

• The music tracks in Hibernation are remixes of various Christmas songs: Jingle Bells, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, We Three Kings and Twelve Days of Christmas.
