Artist commentary:

Brad Griffin:

Originally my first foray into using orchestral strings, adapted to suit the theme. Definitely more melancholy than most of my previous work, and was quite a challenge to get sounding right. I added thunderstorm effects as a cheesy attention-getter (as most people just skip listening to the "Game Over" music and load their saved games), but they ended up fitting pretty well.

Nurse Tiger:

Game Over, figured there should be some player dying, so I made it funny/sad by making him die next to his quest bed.
