It’s not often you see a debut from a new studio as impressive as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The Sandfall Interactive RPG has stunned both reviewers and fans with its emotionally gripping story, its inspired take on turn-based combat, and its jaw-droppingly gorgeous soundtrack.
Expedition 33’s soundtrack is over a whopping eight hours long, but what’s most impressive is that this is the first soundtrack ever composed by Lorien Testard. “I was writing one song a week, and I’d just post it in an online forum. One week, [game director Guillaume Broche] found it, and he emailed me to say let’s do a soundtrack, and five years later, I’m here,” Testard tells Inverse.
