The playful piano in Untitled Goose Game will be inscribed in plastic, creating a physical record of the ravages of the goose. Listening to the piano is knowing the crimes that accompanied it. Iam8bit merchmasters announced today that the release of the soundtrack vinyl will be released on September 29, and that it has a clever little trick. Just like the game’s soundtrack is different each time, the physical pressure is on a dual-slot disc, so two different versions are on the same side and you won’t know which one will sound until you start rolling on those steel wheels. . .
The Goose Game soundtrack, made by Dan Golding based on Claude Debussy’s Préludes, is dynamic in-game. It reacts to the goose japes, going fast and quiet and slow and cheery when appropriate. The pressed soundtrack can’t capture exactly that, but a two-slot record can capture some of the surprise. It puts two different sound waves into two slots that wind up next to each other, playing a different track depending on where the needle first hits the vinyl. Do you know the idea for the old Monty Python “three sides” comedy album?
The soundtrack will be available in the Iam8bit store.
September 29 will also be the release date of the new physical editions of Untitled Goose Game for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, but psssh.
Untitled Goose Game was one of our favorite games of 2019. Read The Mechanic to chat with House House developers about everyday in-game objects.
Disclosure: I know House House a little. I once yelled at one of them until he ate mayonnaise. I’ve calmed down a lot since then.
