'He's very good at finding really cool people': Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's director found its composer on Soundcloud and lead writer on Reddit

Best Expedition 33 attributes: A close-up shot of Gustave with a haunted facial expression, covered in dirt.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 completely blew my expectations out of the water. Its story and combat quickly became all-consuming—I sank 13 hours into it over just one weekend. But the best part of this French RPG has to be its soundtrack, which is apparently all thanks to just one composer.

Lorien Testard had never worked on a videogame before (via BBC) and was discovered by Expedition 33's director, Guillaume Broche, on Soundcloud. He then proceeded to make the entire score, comprising 154 songs and clocking in at an impressive, and slightly terrifying, eight hours and nine minutes long.
