Soundtrack: Dorfromantik — a breath of sound that never keeps score
For Dorfromantik, a game about nothing more than laying hexagonal tiles, Laryssa Okada and Pygoscelis (with Only Sound) laid down a carpet of sound that never announces a win or a loss. No fanfare rings out for points, no tension spikes at a perfect fit. Roughly counting the BPM, black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, trace this design of 'never sounding off' back through the label credits and developer background.
