Pyre music5/2/2023 Most pieces in the soundtrack are full length tracks (around 3 minutes), so when you hear them in the game, it doesn’t make you feel fatigued. There are a great range of genres from a solo baroque harpsichord prelude in “Life Sentence” (reminiscent of Final Fantasy 9), through some solid thrash metal in “Thrash Pack “, and even including some synthwave in “The Blackwagon “. The music features a large variety of plucked string instruments, mainly acoustic, but also electric guitar, mandolin, harpsichord, banjo, and pizzicato strings. To complement the unusual dynamics of this game, the music from Composer and Audio Director Darren Korb is wonderfully varied and the sound effects, while realistic in style, really add to the beautiful hand-drawn environment and character art. Unlike Bastion and Transistor, which are both typically combat-focused RPGs, Pyre gives much more focus to narrative and relies on point-and-click features with dialogue (written, rather than spoken) to build characters’ back stories and move the game forward. You navigate the world in a rickety wagon with your team of outcasts by studying the stars and travelling to various locations to perform ‘Rites’ to earn your freedom. In Pyre, you are a ‘Reader’ – one of the remaining few that can understand what is written in the mystical ‘Book of Rites’. Following Bastion and Transistor, Supergiant Games’ third game, Pyre, is an unexpected change of direction for the well-respected indie studio.
