Have you created any spooky or scary music for horror segments in Squadron 42? [Rephrased by the host as: have you created any music specifically for different genres?]

TL;DRYes, the score will cover horror, tension, heroism and other moods to match the player's experience, with the vertical slice only hinting at the more dramatic moments to come.

Right, sure, obviously. Well, look, the point of the score actually is to play the player's experience. So certainly if something is horrific, you'll have horrific music. If something is tense, you'll have that. If it's heroic, you'll have that. So the short answer is yes, you're going to hear all sorts of kinds of music. Kind of a sonic palette, I'd say, that we're going to use for the game, which doesn't mean we never color outside the lines, but it does mean that we have some consistency. But there are a few moments in the vertical slice which start to hint at some of the more tense discoveries you're going to make. Discovering those, well, I mean, Trejo's chained to a pipe, you know what I mean? So you get moments like that, and I would say that would be the tip of the iceberg in terms of drama that we have in this story.
