The Curse

February 28, 2021

While it’s not a music track, The Curse is included on the soundtrack as a culmination of all those terrible beast sounds we’ve been hearing since we turned on the game, with some added effects giving a kinetic quality to the scene—in this case, the stygian transformation ritual of Thanatos. The remake appropriately develops the idea further.
